"Protect the adults!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Kui and others immediately surrounded Pei Yun, drew their Tang swords, and formed a battle formation.

Chang Wei fought fiercely with Wutu.

Leng Qingqiu stood in front of Pei Yun, holding the hilt of the sword with a cold face. She would kill anyone who dared to harm Pei Yun.

Lu Jingxuan, Huo Xiao and others looked at each other.

They wanted such a situation before, but failed. They didn't expect that such a situation would occur again now.

What should they do?

Should he run away as the prince wishes, abandon Pei Yun and let him be killed by the Nanman, or should he protect Pei Yun?

Huo Xiao and other Shudu soldiers looked at Lu Jingxuan.

Before they set off, the prince said that everything should be based on Lu Jingxuan.

Lu Jingxuan was also conflicted at this time, but after seeing that the people from the Black Water Tribe had surrounded them all, he stopped being conflicted. The most important thing now was to protect himself.

Moreover, he remembered the power of Pei Yun's electric baton yesterday. He was afraid that even if Pei Yun was fine, they would all die here. After all, it was not so easy to kill a reincarnated immortal.

He said loudly: "Everyone, there must be a misunderstanding. We have never been to Southern Xinjiang. How can we know which road the chief will take, and how can we arrange an ambush in advance?"

"The only ones who can kill the chief are your own people. You know which path the chief is taking."

"If I guess correctly, he was the one who killed the chief!"

Lu Jingxuan pointed at Chi Yan.

"You...you are slandering me!"

Chi Yan became anxious.

Lu Jingxuan sneered, "All the chiefs are here, but you are late. You also happened to encounter the assassination of the chief. I think you staged this yourself."

"You are talking nonsense. I came late because the tribe had something to do. It was just a coincidence that I ran into the chief. Chiefs, the chief's last words were to kill the envoys to avenge him. What are you still doing? Kill them!"

Chi Yan roared. This was also what Liu Xiao told him. They must make the tribal chiefs fight with Pei Yun's people. Once a chief dies at the hands of Pei Yun again, the conflict will become even deeper.

And if these chiefs die, who can compete with Chi Yan for the position of chief?

Chi Yan had already successfully provoked the anger of these chiefs, and Lu Jingxuan didn't break it with just a few words, which made him a little panicked.

Pei Yun didn't expect that Lu Jingxuan didn't take advantage of his misfortune, but instead spoke up for him. It seems that yesterday's warning was still useful.

He also felt that Chi Yan was suspicious.

The chiefs were originally ready to take action, but after hearing Lu Jingxuan's words, they felt that there was some truth in them. No one from the Jing Dynasty had ever come to the deep southern border of their country, and it was impossible for them to know the ambush in advance about which road the chief would take.

But this crossbow is indeed a weapon of the Jing Dynasty, and for a moment he didn't know whether to believe Lu Jingxuan or Chi Yan.

The oldest chief said in a deep voice: "Pei Yun, since you said that you didn't send people to kill the chief, then you should stay in the Black Water Tribe. We will investigate this matter thoroughly. Before there is a result, you are not allowed to leave the Black Water Tribe."

He still wanted to trade with Jing Dynasty. Pei Yun's previous words made him very excited, so he used these words to stabilize the chiefs who wanted to avenge Agulli.

Pei Yun nodded and said, "Let's follow Chief Wuxi's advice."

When the other chiefs heard that the highly respected Wu Xi had said so, they stopped talking.

Chi Yan was extremely anxious. Why was the script different from what Liu Xiao told him? When did these chiefs become so reasonable? Shouldn't they just rush up and hack Pei Yun to death?

He was a little at a loss. Liu Xiao didn't come, and no one told him what to do next.

"Chang Wei is back."

Pei Yun shouted, and Chang Wei forced Wu Tumeng to retreat back to Pei Yun. Wu Tumeng snorted coldly. This was his second time fighting with Chang Wei, and they were still equally matched.

Soon, all the chiefs left. Chi Yan had no choice but to leave as well. He wanted to go back and discuss with Liu Xiao what to do next. If they really found out that he was the one who killed Agulli, then he would be really finished.

As the chiefs left, Pei Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of these chiefs. If a war really broke out, these chiefs might not gain any advantage. But if that happened, the trade might not be able to continue.

Let these chiefs investigate now. Anyway, it wasn’t him who did it, so he is not afraid of the investigation.

…

Several black figures appeared in the Black Soil Tribe not far from the Black Water Tribe.

These are the Black Feather Guards of the palace. They came here the day after Pei Yun and his companions left Shudu and have been lurking there ever since.

They were familiar with the place, and they were the ones who traded ironware with the Black Rock Tribe before.

A dark shadow came running from a distance, stopped in front of a man in black and spoke.

"Boss, Pei Yun and the others are safe and sound. Should we proceed as planned?"

The man in black nodded and said, "Since Lu Jingxuan is not competent, let's help him. Are all the things ready?"

Several Black Feather Guards nodded, "We are all ready."

The leading Black Feather Guard said, "Then let's split up and drop the plague virus, then gather here."

"Yes, sir."

Afterwards, several Black Feather Guards scattered and the Black Soil Tribe returned to silence.

…

Blackwater tribe.

Pei Yun and others were under surveillance and were not allowed to step out of the tribe. Pei Yun didn't care. He would not go anywhere until he completed the mission.

I just don’t know how long these chiefs will investigate and when they will give results. Also, now that the chief is dead, who will sign a treaty with him?

It’s a bit of a headache just thinking about it. I’ve already persuaded these chiefs to be interested, but after this incident, they can only wait here.
