"Abao, come, sister-in-law toasts you a glass!"
"Come on, come on, drink!"
"I didn't expect Xiaoxuan to have such a good alcohol tolerance!"
"Xiaoxuan is also happy today. After all, he is no longer alone. Although next month... Alas! But no matter what, a warrior returning to our Jiang clan is a happy event. When the news spreads, maybe more warriors will come back."
"Everyone, have a drink!"
The dinner organized by Jiang Bao was set in the small square in front of the ancestral hall of the Jiang clan. There were five tables. Now, almost all the managers of the Jiang clan at all levels have arrived, including Grandma Jinhua.
Although the men of the Jiang clan have almost died out in the past three years, and their financial resources are not as good as before, they still have some wealth. At least there is no problem with food and drink. In addition to the mines and caravans of the Jiang clan itself, the 47 tribes that have been loyal to the Jiang clan for generations will also pay tribute to the tribe once every six months.
The dinner was halfway through, when the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
"Xiao Xuan, uncle, uncle toasts you another glass!" Jiang Bao came over and put his arm around Jiang Xuan's shoulders, shaking his glass.
"Come on, drink!" Jiang Xuan did not refuse, clinked glasses with him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Grandma Jinhua, who was sitting at the same table, frowned, her eyes wandering between Jiang Xuan and Jiang Bao. She felt that Jiang Bao was suspicious, but she was not sure, but she had to be on guard. Now Jiang Xuan was drunk and so close to Jiang Bao. If Jiang Bao suddenly attacked Jiang Xuan, no one could stop him.
"Xiao Xuan, you are drunk." Grandma Jinhua reminded her, and winked at Jiang Qinghong who was sitting next to Jiang Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, don't drink." Jiang Qinghong pulled Jiang Xuan's arm, "You haven't eaten much tonight, no matter how happy you are, you can't do this, don't delay tomorrow's practice."
Jiang Xuan didn't appreciate it, and shook Jiang Qinghong away.
"Don't mind a man's business!" Jiang Xuan seemed drunk.
Jiang Qinghong's face suddenly changed, her brows and eyes froze, and she twisted Jiang Xuan's waist in anger... Where did the old brother Xuan go? He has only been the clan leader for a few days, and he drinks like this. What will happen in the future?
He must beat his wife!
"Nothing special, I thought he was extraordinary, but he is just a drunkard with nothing but passion." Jiang Bao saw everything and couldn't help but look down on Jiang Xuan.
It is difficult for people to look up to a person who is not good at drinking.
Jiang Qinghong ignored Jiang Xuan and was a little sulky.
Jiang Bao walked away and toasted Grandma Jinhua and the innate female warriors. Jiang Xuan turned around to look at Jiang Qinghong, and pulled Sister Qinghong's hand under the table, and asked drunkenly: "Sister Qinghong, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
"Dog!" Jiang Qinghong replied unhappily.
"Who?" Jiang Xuan seemed not to understand. Looking at Jiang Qinghong's stunning profile, Jiang Xuan suddenly pulled the back of Jiang Qinghong's hand and kissed her, making a "tsk" sound.
Many people saw it in public.
They were all women.
"Hey! Why did Xiao Xuan kiss Qing Hong's hand!"
"Isn't Qing Hong going to be the wife of the clan leader?"
"Did he really kiss her? Xiao Xuan has really grown up!"
The sisters, aunts, and aunts at the same table were so good at making trouble that Jiang Qing Hong's face turned red. She was even more angry. She was not angry that Jiang Xuan kissed her hand suddenly, but that he was drunk and did this in public. It is said that a person's character can be seen after drinking. She didn't want Jiang Xuan to be the kind of person who couldn't control himself after drinking.
Jiang Qing Hong began to ignore Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan seemed to be really drunk, and he joked with other sisters at the same table, which made Jiang Qing Hong even more angry.
Unknowingly, the meal came to an end.
"Leopard, Uncle Leopard, let's talk alone, I have something to tell you..." Jiang Xuan stood up and waved to Jiang Bao, "Let's go, let's go over there..."
Jiang Bao was stunned for a moment, and was ecstatic in his heart.
He wanted to quickly build trust first, and go to the back mountain to meet Jiang Xuan alone tomorrow to find an opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. Jiang Xuan actually wanted to talk to him alone! And Jiang Xuan was drunk! It would be easier than killing a chicken?
"God help me!" Jiang Bao felt lucky, "Aunt Jinhua has been wary of me since I came back. Even Jiang Qinghong knows that Jiang Xuan is important and is afraid of mistakes. I didn't expect Jiang Xuan to be so stupid! You deserve to die!"
Coming with a drunken smile, Jiang Bao and Jiang Xuan put their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Uncle Bao, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
"You! You sit down, don't follow me! I said!"
The two innate female warriors had already stood up at the instruction of Grandma Jinhua, but were ordered by Jiang Xuan to sit down again. They looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.
"Sister Qinghong." Jiang Xuan turned around again, hooked Jiang Qinghong's palm, and said with a drunken smile: "Let's go."
It seemed that he was just "teasing" Jiang Qinghong before leaving.
Jiang Qinghong's face was slightly off, as if Jiang Xuan's behavior made her uncomfortable.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The only two men in the Jiang clan, both drunk, walked out of the square with their arms around each other, and soon disappeared.
Jiang Qinghong looked at it, suddenly retracted her hand, turned back, lowered her head, and looked at the note in her palm very cautiously. This note was given to her by Jiang Xuan pretending to tease her before leaving.
After opening the note and taking a few glances, Jiang Qinghong's face suddenly changed and she stood up suddenly.
"Grandma Jinhua, look..." She hurriedly ran to Grandma Jinhua and handed the note over.
Grandma Jinhua stood up after looking at the note, and her emotions suddenly became excited: "This kid! How can he be like this... If there is a mistake... Don't eat!"
The people at the tables were eating and drinking and were very noisy. Grandma Jinhua shouted and they suddenly became quiet, and all looked at Grandma Jinhua.
"Xiao Xuan suspects that Jiang Bao has been bribed by the Shentu tribe and came back to assassinate!" Grandma Jinhua shook the note in her hand.
"This..."
"This, it can't be..."
"Jiang Bao and the Shentu tribe also have a blood feud. His two brothers and nephew died in the hands of the Shentu tribe. Although he lost his courage at the beginning, I don't believe that he surrendered to the enemy like Wu... Jiang Jingsheng!" said a middle-aged female warrior of the hunting team.
"Yes, that's the truth!" Many people around nodded.
"It's really wrong for him to come back suddenly!" Jiang Cuiyun, the captain of the patrol team and a female warrior in the middle stage of the innate realm, said, "I am ten years older than Abao. I watched him grow up. I don't say that this kid is bad, but I have never seen him have extraordinary courage. He came back this time. According to him, he is ready to fight a life-and-death battle on the ring. That is no different from sending himself to death. I don't believe he has the courage!"
"People will change. Abao has been away for more than a year. Who knows what he has experienced." Another innate female warrior disagreed.
"You can't call him a traitor without evidence." Someone said the key point.
"Alright!" Grandma Jinhua interrupted the argument, "Xiao Xuan knew you wouldn't be sure, so he decided to take the risk. He has left alone with Jiang Bao. Jiang Bao was already a congenital warrior many years ago, and Xiao Xuan couldn't compare. If Jiang Bao was an assassin, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to assassinate Xiao Xuan!"
"What?"
"How could Xiao Xuan?"
The people at several tables stood up at once. Whether they thought Jiang Bao was suspicious or had opposing opinions, they were all anxious at this moment. Jiang Xuan was testing his own life. Even if he was prepared in advance, he might really lose it if he was not careful.
That would be disastrous for the entire Jiang clan.
"Grab your weapons and follow me!" Grandma Jinhua ordered.
…
"Leopard, Uncle Leopard, I'm telling you, hiccup…" Jiang Xuan and Jiang Bao chatted all the way, talking about the situation in the tribe, their own pressure, their hatred for the Shentu tribe, etc., walking unsteadily and burping from time to time.
Jiang Bao and Jiang Xuan were in a similar state. They always hooked their shoulders and walked aimlessly, going wherever they wanted.
Unconsciously, the two of them passed through the forest on one side of the square, went around the hillside near the back mountain, and turned around along the path until they came to a cliff.
This is a "famous attraction" in the earthen city of the Jiang clan, named Eagle Beak Cliff, because from a distance, you can see that the cliff is protruding and curved at the bottom.
Standing on the edge of this cliff, you can overlook most of the earthen city of the tribe. This is indeed a very suitable place to talk alone.
"This place...haha...come to Eagle Cliff! You are really looking for death!" Jiang Bao was almost laughing like crazy. He let go of Jiang Xuan, stopped hugging him, and pushed him to the side and back, with his hand on the hilt of his knife at his waist.
Jiang Xuan was still looking at the vast earthen city below, talking drunkenly.
"No!"
"How could it be so smooth?"
"It was specially prepared for me."
Jiang Bao, who had just quietly pulled out the knife an inch, stopped suddenly and became suspicious.
It was indeed too smooth, so smooth that he was a little bit unbelievable.
But soon, he overturned all his suspicions.
Because he couldn't think of a reason why Jiang Xuan could survive.
"If you really want to test me in this way with just half a step of innateness, isn't it the same as looking for death? Jinhua Grandma and the others would never agree to this plan. It's too dangerous for Jiang Xuan! I must have thought too much. This kid is just stupid! Stupid enough to be stupid!"
The reason why Jiang Bao was stupid was because Jiang Xuan suddenly became passionate.
"…This is my tribe! I am the king of the tribe!!" Jiang Xuan clenched his fists and waved his arms, shouting drunkenly.
At this moment, Jiang Bao's eyes suddenly became sharp.
The long sword was unsheathed!
Jiang Bao turned into a shadow and pounced on Jiang Xuan. The distance between the two was less than ten feet. For a congenital warrior, it only took a moment to rush into such a distance. The sword light slashed through Jiang Xuan's body.
"It's done! So easy, ha! I am the elder of the Shentu tribe!" Jiang Bao was overjoyed.
