"Great Chief!"
The chiefs were shocked to see Agulli covered in blood with an arrow stuck in his chest.
"What happened to the chief?"
Chi Yan said sadly: "The...the chief, he was attacked and died on the way."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of many chiefs. Some chiefs who had a good relationship with Agulli even shook themselves.
Pei Yun was also shocked. As a great chief, he was highly respected in the Southern Barbarians, but he was attacked and killed. It was simply unbelievable.
Wutu Meng placed Agul's body on the ground, and everyone gathered around.
Adoji grabbed Chiyan's collar fiercely, his eyes red, "How did the chieftain get killed?"
Although Agul had not allowed Aduoji to take revenge, which made Aduoji unhappy, Agul had come from the Black Stone Tribe after all. In Aduoji's heart, Agul was the greatest hero of the Black Stone Tribe. Now he was dead, which made him find it difficult to accept.
Chi Yan shook his head. "When I arrived, the chief was already dying. He said that Jing Chao's men attacked him, and this was the weapon he snatched from the enemy."
Chi Yan said as he took out the crossbow.
"We don't have this weapon here. Only Jingchao can make it."
Chi Yan pointed at Pei Yun and the others and said, "They must have sent someone to do it. On the surface, they came to sign an agreement with us to open up trade, but in fact, they sent experts to ambush the chief on the way."
"If I hadn't been delayed by something in my tribe and arrived a little late, I wouldn't have been able to see the chief for the last time. The chief's last words were to avenge him!"
Everyone turned around and looked at Pei Yun, and the hatred that had disappeared before reappeared.
Pei Yun was shocked and said hurriedly: "There must be a misunderstanding. If it was really me, how could I still be waiting here to die."
Chi Yan snorted coldly, "Is this your Jing Chao's weapon?"
Pei Yun took a deep breath and said, "The Jing Dynasty does have this crossbow, but we cannot conclude that it was done by us. The court sent me to the southern border this time with the sincere intention of opening up trade. How could I possibly assassinate the chieftain?"
"This is just your sophistry. Chiefs, the chief's last words were to kill the envoys to avenge him. What are you waiting for? Kill these Jingchao people and avenge the chief. Wutu Meng, take action!"
As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, Wu Tu Meng rushed towards Pei Yun with a mace in his hand.
The chiefs of the pro-war faction were also furious at this moment. In their hearts, Agulli was the best chief, and now he was dead, which made them very sad.
Everyone was overwhelmed by anger and sadness, and Pei Yun also admitted that the weapon that killed the chief belonged to Jing Chao. The evidence was conclusive, so there was no need to hesitate. They all drew their weapons and rushed towards Pei Yun.
