Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 258 Snow Feast
As soon as Xiao Mo said this, Shi Xuanling was shocked and before she could speak, Yue Wujiu beside her said first:

"Not only you can't imagine it, I would never believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes... My 'father-in-law' is a hidden master. I believe he really has the ability to sweep away thousands of troops and drive the Red Slave people out of the Qingli Mountains..."

"So it's my dad..." Shi Xuanling's breathing trembled, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Mo and said anxiously: "He attacked? Is he injured? How is he now?"

"Sister, don't worry. The situation was indeed extremely dangerous that day. If Master Shi hadn't come to our aid, I'm afraid that all the people in the Qingli Mountains... would have been in an irretrievable situation and would have been enslaved and slaughtered by the Chi Nu people!"

On that day, the blood on the altar dyed half the sky red. In the chaos, Zuo Chong solved the poison in Shi Zhongqing's body at the most critical moment and awakened him completely with the method of silver needle acupuncture.

While Xiao Mo was fending off the attack of the Red Slaves, he pleaded with Shi Zhongqing: "Master Shi, the Red Slaves are coming and brutally killing and persecuting my Feng clan members. I hope Master Shi can help and drive these Red Slaves out of the Qingli Mountains!"

"Why are you talking so much!" Zuo Chong was impatient. He pushed Xiao Mo away and approached Shi Zhongqing and said quickly, "Old Shi, listen carefully. The goddess has been kidnapped by the red slaves. Your daughter is in their hands. The sissy in the black and gold robe is the national teacher of their tribe. He is the mastermind behind everything. Go and catch him!"

It must be said that Zuo Chong's method was the most effective. Shi Zhongqing had just woken up from chaos, and what he was most concerned about was still his daughter. Moreover, he had been an official in the court for many years, so he naturally knew that the Chi Nu people were brutal and warlike, and were Dong Mu's mortal enemies. He had a firm determination to expel this group of barbarians in his blood, so he did not hesitate at the moment, summoned his deep internal strength, and flew towards the Yue Zun National Master!

"To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Zuo Chong and I were unable to subdue the cunning State Master Yue Zun, but Lord Shi struck him with one palm, causing him to spit blood. Many Red Slave soldiers surrounded him, and Lord Shi was also blood-thirsty. In the end, the State Master Yue Zun had no way to escape, and was finally captured by Lord Shi..."

Everything that happened next was not difficult to guess. With Master Yue Zun in hand, the remaining Chi Nu soldiers had no choice but to lay down their weapons and obediently withdraw from Qingli Mountain.

"It's a pity that the damn national teacher was too cunning. When we retreated to a cliff outside the mountain, he suddenly launched a sneak attack. We were all caught off guard. Before we could even start, the old man had already led the remaining soldiers to escape..."

At this point, Xiao Mo looked at Shi Xuanling and said slowly, "Sister, your father...he was indeed seriously injured, but don't worry, we brought him back to the clan, Zuo Chong treated him carefully, and he is no longer in any danger..."

Hearing Xiaomo say this, Shi Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but Xiaomo's next words made her face change drastically -

"But soon, Xi Yuehan will come to Qingli Mountain in person to select the first batch of tribesmen for refining. He will also be allowed to pick and refine the exotic flowers and herbs in the mountain. The whole tribe will obey his orders and work hard for the Chinu tribe. This is the condition my master has negotiated with him."

Yes, Xi Yuehan didn't gain any benefit in Qingli Mountain this time, but instead suffered heavy casualties. How could he be willing to accept this and how could he be willing to give up?

For this reason, Pei Shixi went to the Chinu tribe in person, cut off his finger to apologize, and signed a new alliance with Xi Yuehan, willing to abandon some of his tribesmen to allow him to refine and command them, to strengthen the military strength, and to help Chinu and Tonglu accomplish their great cause together.

Xi Yuehan accepted Pei Shixi's bloody severed finger, arrogantly accepted his apology, was willing to continue cooperation, and agreed to Pei Shixi's invitation to lead his troops to Qingli Mountain in person to participate in the clan's snow-brushing feast as a distinguished guest. The so-called snow-brushing feast to welcome the spring is a custom passed down from generation to generation in the Feng clan. It is set up on the night of New Year's Eve. At that time, men, women, old and young in the clan will gather together, drink strong wine and eat delicious food, sing and dance, brush off the old snow, and welcome the new year.

On this important day of this year, Xiyuehan will become the guest of honor in the clan, accept the kneeling and submission of the Feng clan, and select the first batch of candidates to be refined in the clan. At that time, the successfully refined Shura soldiers will be divided in a ratio of 70:3, with the Chinu tribe accounting for 70% and the Tonglu New Dynasty accounting for 30%.

With the injection of fresh blood from the Feng clan, the chances of successfully refining the Blue Flame Shura Soldiers and their combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced. The Chinu Tribe and the Tonglu Dynasty will be able to join forces to fight against the allied forces. Victory is just around the corner, and the great cause of restoration is at hand!

"Is Pei Shixi crazy?!"

Shi Xuanling could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up, her eyes slightly red with excitement, "He actually wants to bring a tiger into the mountains, kill his people, and sacrifice the lives of his own people to fulfill his dream of restoring his country?"

All of this was too absurd and too outrageous. Even Yue Wujiu, who always assumed Pei Shixi with the greatest malice, could not believe it. He frowned and shook his head, saying:

"Does he think that by sacrificing his people, begging for mercy from Xi Yuehan, and showing his loyalty, he can get everything he wants? A wolf like Xi Yuehan will only devour him and his Tonglu Xinchao until nothing is left!"

"No, you are all wrong."

Xiao Mo had obviously anticipated the reactions of Shi Xuanling and Yue Wujiu. He seemed very calm, but there was still a subtle tremor in his breathing. He looked at the two people in front of him with a solemn expression, and said word by word:

"Sister, you misunderstood the Lord... You misunderstood my fifth uncle. He would never sacrifice his people to fulfill his dream of restoring his country. On the contrary, everything he did was for the Feng family. He didn't want to invite a wolf into the house, but to lure a turtle into a jar. All of this was the bait he threw to Xi Yuehan. He led him into the Qingli Mountains and tried his best to set up a deadly situation. He wanted to get rid of Xi Yuehan with his own hands!"

Yes, the so-called Snow Feast was actually a fatal game in the mountains. Pei Shixi had been working hard for the Feng family all his life, burning himself without regrets. How could he send his clansmen into the tiger's mouth and watch the Chi Nu people slaughter his brothers and sisters?

After he was deceived by Xi Yuehan once and nearly brought disaster to his clan, he learned from his mistakes and saw through Xi Yuehan's true colors.

No, he had actually known for a long time that Xiyuehan had evil ambitions and that the Chinu people were brutal and ugly, but he had no choice. In order to restore his country and revive the Feng family, he could only try to take advantage of the situation and keep silent. He had temporarily formed an alliance with Xiyuehan for mutual benefit. He had originally thought of overthrowing the Dongmu Dynasty first, and then breaking off relations with the Chinu people after strengthening Tonglu's strength in the future. However, he had not expected that Xiyuehan was actually a madman who didn't care. While Chinu and Tonglu were still allied, Xiyuehan was going to attack his people, and this had already touched his bottom line, and he could no longer endure it!
To this end, Pei Shixi went to the Chinu tribe in person, cut off his finger to apologize, humbled himself in front of Xi Yuehan, praised him as the Chinu King, and made various conditions and promised various benefits, signed a new alliance in exchange for his trust.

"Uncle Fifth is risking his life this time to deal with Xi Yuehan personally, but the danger is unpredictable, and he would rather die than cooperate with you, so I came here privately to ask you to help Uncle Fifth get rid of King Chi Nu at the Fuxue Feast!"
