Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 266 Public Humiliation
As soon as these words came out, Shi Xuanling, who was hiding in the dark, felt his heart rise to his throat. This Yue Zun National Master was obviously a sinister villain with a strong desire for revenge. Last time on the altar, he failed to refine it and fled in a miserable state. Now that he has caught the chance, he will definitely not let the old patriarch go!

"Don't worry, sister. Fifth Uncle has been working with Xi Yuehan for a long time and is well aware of his cunning and suspicious nature. Fifth Uncle did not forge the clan leader's head, and he deliberately let the clan leader show his face in front of Xi Yuehan. He must have his own intentions!"

Xiao Mo has been following Pei Shixi for a long time and knows that he is meticulous, acts flawlessly, and is wholeheartedly devoted to the clan. He will never joke about the life of the old clan leader!
Sure enough, facing the provocative questioning from Yue Zun National Master, Pei Shixi was not in a hurry. He just smiled faintly and calmly bowed to Xi Yuehan and explained:

"Your Majesty, I left the chief alive on purpose. He is indeed the leader of the Shouqing Sect, but now he has recognized the situation and surrendered to our Tonglu New Dynasty. He is willing to work for Tonglu and Chinu, appease the anxious people in the tribe, use the power of the Shouqing Sect for our benefit, and assist State Master Yuezun in refining the Shura Soldiers. He is very useful and should not be killed easily."

At this point, Pei Shixi raised his head, stared at Xi Yuehan on the warhorse, and smiled meaningfully: "Compared to a cold head, a puppet clan leader who is alive and loyal to the king is more valuable, what do you think?"

Among all kinds of tactics in the world, conquering the heart is the best, which is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Pei Shixi has dealt with Xi Yuehan a lot, so he knows best how to gain his trust, and then lead him into the game little by little, so that he will unknowingly lie in the coffin he built for him with his own hands.

If the clan leader is really killed, won't it cause unrest in the clan? How can everyone surrender obediently? This play has loopholes, and everything seems to be too much, which is easy to arouse Xi Yuehan's suspicion. After all, he is a cunning old fox on the sea.

It would be better to offer a puppet clan leader as well as a human head as a gift. This way, today's drama would be reasonable and could completely dispel Xiao Yuehan's doubts, allowing him to let down his guard and step into the Qingli Mountains with the most relaxed attitude.

Sure enough, Pei Shixi was well aware of human nature and he made the right bet.

Xi Yuehan sat on the warhorse, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said the first sentence of his visit today: "Very good, I have seen the sincerity of Prime Minister Pei."

His eyes swept over the bloody heads in the snow, and finally landed on Pei Shixi. The wind and snow lifted his long dark blue hair, and he smiled arrogantly on his horse:
"This gift of a human head and this puppet will also be accepted by this king."

The first level was finally passed. When Pei Shixi was secretly relieved, Xi Yuehan's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he looked at the clan leader Qi Yuan behind Pei Shixi with a bit of teasing——

"However, I came here in a hurry this time and forgot to bring my special horse slaves. I wonder how loyal this old chieftain who surrendered is to me and the Chinu tribe?"

Pei Shixi had seen the so-called "horse slaves" mentioned by Xiyuehan, but when he dismounted from his horse or car, there would be several strong slaves kneeling on the ground for him to step on. To put it more simply, those slaves used their flesh and blood to serve as living human stools for Xiyuehan to step on with his "noble feet" to help him dismount from his horse, in order to demonstrate the noble status of the King of Chi Nu.

At this moment Xi Yuehan spoke deliberately, hinting at the clan leader Qi Yuan in his words. His intentions were very obvious: one was to test, two was to humiliate, and three was to deter.

Not only did he want to trample the old patriarch under his feet, he also told the Feng clan clearly that they were nothing more than tools and slaves submitting to him, and that their only choice was to obey his orders.

This was a resounding slap in the face to all the Feng clan members. Many of them had their blood boiling, but they kept in mind the clan leader's instructions. For the sake of the overall situation they had worked so hard to plan, they had to suppress their hatred and bury their heads. Leng Ying stood beside Pei Shixi, and seeing Xi Yuehan's arrogance, she couldn't help but lower her eyelashes to cover up the cold murderous intent in her eyes.

Shi Xuanling and Xiao Mo in the dark were equally angry. Shi Xuanling gritted her teeth and whispered, "I finally understand why your fifth uncle is unwilling to continue cooperating with this lunatic. He will fight to the death even if it means a fight to the death, because he doesn't want to drag the Feng family into the abyss. He has no choice. If Xi Yuehan doesn't die, the Feng family will definitely be humiliated and miserable!"

The wind and snow were howling, and a bird flew across the mountains, making bursts of clear chirps. Under the vast sky, the clan leader Qi Yuan did not hesitate. He took a few steps forward and bowed humbly.

"I have already abandoned the dark and joined the light, and my loyalty is naturally witnessed by heaven and earth. Today, I am willing to be your horse slave. I hope your Majesty will be kind enough to dismount and go into the mountains to attend the snow-covered feast."

As he spoke, the old patriarch bent his knees and knelt obediently beside the warhorse. He lowered his head and tried to straighten his back as much as possible to give Xiyuehan a better footing. In the howling mountain breeze, he cast aside all decency and dignity and was content to be a human stool for King Chi Nu.

The tribesmen present all lowered their eyes, unable to bear to watch, but Pei Shixi stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, his face unchanged.

On the warhorse, Xi Yuehan finally nodded with satisfaction, a strange light flickering in his blue pupils. He turned over and placed one foot firmly on the patriarch's back.

There was only a slight "click" sound, and the tribe leader's back sank. He gasped in pain. It was obvious that the kick had used quite a lot of force. He even felt a bloody taste in his throat, but he forced himself to swallow it down. He still clenched his teeth and knelt in the snow, struggling to hold on.

Xi Yuehan's smile deepened, and he finally shook off his cloak and dismounted contentedly. However, Imperial Master Yue Zun, who was standing beside him, shook his head in disdain and said:

"Tsk tsk, this old bone is really useless. It crackles when stepped on. How can it be worthy of being our king's horse slave? It is a great blessing for this old thing to be given a chance to serve our king today. In the future, if he works well for our Chi Nu tribe, perhaps the king will give him some magic medicine to make this old guy's soft bones strong again!"

The word "spineless" was not only directed at the clan leader, but also insulted the Feng clan. The sarcastic laughter echoed in the mountains, so sharp and disgusting that it made people feel nauseous.

All the Feng clan members kept their heads down and said nothing, but Pei Shixi smiled and responded, "What the Imperial Master said is very true. There is still a long time to come, and the Feng clan still has many opportunities to serve the king."

He took a step forward after he finished speaking, his handsome face showing excitement and joy, as if he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now that the distinguished guest had finally arrived, he couldn't wait -

"Your Majesty, please. A grand feast has been prepared in the mountains. The Feng clan is united in loyalty and is willing to join your majesty in welcoming the new year and working together for great achievements!"
