Chapter 421: The Situation Changes Again

Liu Zheng was startled.

But before he could react, he had already been pulled into that tent by this Buyi woman.

Huh? This...

Liu Zheng's heart began to race rapidly.

To be honest, this Buyi chieftain's daughter was indeed very beautiful; her appearance and figure were both top-tier, especially her skin, which was different from the generally dark skin of the Yi People—it was as fair as snow, stunningly beautiful.

At this moment, she was clinging to him, and the woman's natural fragrance rushed toward him, making him feel somewhat distracted.

But once he thought about how she had just been making love with that dark-skinned man right here, the desire in his heart quickly extinguished.

Seeing Liu Zheng's expression, the woman asked curiously, "Man, are you... not capable?"

I...

Liu Zheng had a face full of black lines; how could a man say he wasn't capable? It was just that he truly couldn't accept that she had just finished being intimate with someone else, and now she wanted to start with him?

However.

He respected her sexual values and could only offer a bitter smile: "I drank a bit too much today."

When the girl heard this, her eyes lit up: "Is that so? I heard you can drink well?"

So that's how it was...

Liu Zheng was left between laughter and tears. It seemed that the people of Liangshan had an innate fondness for men who could hold their liquor. Since he had knocked Shama Zhuoyi down today, in their eyes, wasn't he the number one Warrior?

Liu Zheng nodded: "How about you let me go back... and you, you call that one from before back in?"

"No, no, no, the men of the Big Trouser Leg Tribe are no fun..."

No fun...

Liu Zheng again had a face full of black lines, not knowing how to answer.

Girl, from where did you see that I am someone who is "fun"?

"My name is Ashima, and you?"

The more the girl looked at Liu Zheng, the more her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Ashima?

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment. The well-known Ashima was a Yi girl. It seemed that names in this southwestern region also had some commonalities.

He smiled: "My name is Liu Zheng."

"Liu... Zheng, alright, I've remembered it!"

Ashima smiled happily, truly like a crescent moon. She snuck a glance at Liu Zheng, gritted her teeth, and said: "Man, don't be afraid, drinking too much doesn't affect it, wait for me!"

She quickly slipped out of the tent.

Liu Zheng's mouth twitched. The tent was in a mess, and that lingering, decadent scent seemed to still be pungent.

He had no such hobbies, so he crawled out, intending to leave.

Who would have thought that this Ashima would return so quickly? Liu Zheng took one look and saw that behind the trees, the man from the Big Trouser Leg Tribe from before was clearly still reluctant to part with Ashima, and the look in his eyes toward Liu Zheng was full of hostility.

"Man, with this, it will be fun!"

Ashima said excitedly.

"What is that?"

Liu Zheng took one look, and his expression changed instantly.

In Ashima's hand was a pill, and it was shockingly the "Divine Medicine" he had seen before!

Divine Medicine?

Big Trouser Leg?

Liu Zheng's expression changed drastically, and he thought to himself, "This is bad!"

Now he had no mood to flirt with her here; he offered an apology and turned to run.

Only Ashima was left in front of the tent, looking at Liu Zheng's departing back with a resentful expression.

"My Lord, are you saying that the Big Trouser Leg Tribe is very likely to defect?"

Huobu Quli was furious upon hearing Liu Zheng's speculation.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath: "I didn't expect that this Divine Medicine had already started to become widespread among the Big Trouser Leg Tribe."

He rubbed his temples.

Previously, Huobu Quli had said that he had already reached an agreement with the Headman of the Big Trouser Leg, Naibao Rize, to jointly crusade against Shama Zhuoyi. This time, the Big Trouser Leg had also brought an army of one hundred thousand!

According to Huobu Quli, when they heard about this "Bone-Eating Poison" at the time, Naibao Rize had expressed deep hatred and insisted that he would only be satisfied once Shama Zhuoyi was brought down.

But...

Liu Zheng's sudden discovery today clearly proved that Naibao Rize had likely known about the existence of the Poppy for a long time.

When Huobu Quli approached him, he had already become a "beneficiary" of the Poppy, yet he still feigned agreement to join Huobu Quli's coalition! So, what exactly was Naibao Rize's stance?

Did he want to use Huobu Quli's hands to seize the Poppy resources?

Or was he in cahoots with Shama Zhuoyi all along, having already set a trap for Huobu Quli to walk into?

Regardless, the Big Trouser Leg Tribe must be guarded against!

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and gave a bitter smile: "We can adjust our battle plan."

The few people present were all instantly energized.

The Big Trouser Leg Tribe.

They occupied the Butuo region between Qiongdou and Meigu in the entire Liangshan area!

Which meant...

If the Big Trouser Leg harbored ulterior motives and suddenly launched an attack.

The large army of Huobu Quli, as well as the Liangzhou Army of Liu Zheng, would very easily be surrounded and wiped out!

……

Late at night.

Qin Zhangfeng was walking rapidly through the mountain forest alone.

In fact, when the Liangzhou Army arrived at Qiongdou, the reconnaissance squads under his command had already been deployed.

Although the terrain of Daliang Mountain is complex, it is still not difficult to find a large-scale planting site.

Especially one that is so obviously sealed off, an existence within high walls.

After his men followed several Horse Carriages belonging to the "Horse Gang," they quickly locked onto the Yuexi Plain, not far from Qiongdou.

A forbidden area designated by Shama Zhuoyi.

People were seen entering, but never leaving.

From time to time, sounds of wailing and human scolding could be heard.

A vast pasture was blocked by high walls, making it difficult for people to see the situation inside. The area around the high walls was heavily guarded, and watchtowers were filled with sentries.

Qin Zhangfeng could not sneak inside.

But it could be basically determined that if there really was a Poppy planting base as the Viscount had said, it must be here.

He observed the terrain here.

In a plain area, fighting here is what Qin Zhangfeng, or rather, the elite cavalry of the Liangzhou Army, would prefer.

It would not be difficult to take this place.

What needs to be noted is that the westernmost side of this farm is the direction of the Nanzhao Kingdom. If a war were to truly break out, this farm would be a place the Liangzhou Army must fight for!

Fight the Liangshan People in the north, and resist the Nanzhao Army in the west!

Avoid those Liangshan People who grew up in the mountains since childhood and are skilled at mountain warfare.

After observing for a while, Qin Zhangfeng was just about to leave.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a Horse Carriage appeared at the gate of the high wall.

Qin Zhangfeng looked over by the moonlight, and three people got off the Horse Carriage.

Qin Zhangfeng did not recognize one of the young men, but it was very obvious that the two people beside him who were very respectful to him were none other than Shama Zhuoyi and Naibao Rize!

"Not good!"

Qin Zhangfeng's expression changed slightly; he gritted his teeth and decided to follow them to listen. Light as a swallow, he began to speed through the mountain forest.

At this moment, he could no longer worry about any danger; even if there were any danger, he could easily escape.

He had to figure out what exactly was going on with this Naibao Rize!

【Author's Note】

Actually, the writing has not been going very smoothly these past few days, and some brothers have pointed it out. I am a person who cares a lot about the opinions of my reader brothers. So I fell into confusion. Hahaha, I am thinking about the plot and adjusting the pace every day. Later, I figured it out today: a book should have all kinds of pacing and all kinds of elements to be rich and normal. So today, all of a sudden, the writing became smoother. I think I should block out some other voices and write the story with peace of mind.

Please click the "urge for updates" button, let me know how many brothers are still supporting me... I will speed up this month.
