Chapter 368 Conflict, Suspicion
Chapter 368 Conflict, Suspicion
The setting sun was shining on the earth. At this moment, in the military camp near the coast, hundreds of rebels holding spears were pointing their guns at Ye Li who was surrounded. The atmosphere was very fierce, but also extremely strange and quiet.
The roaring tidal waves hit the shells on the coast. Ye Li looked at the people in front of him, including himself, calmly, and said in the same natural and gentle tone as before:
"You can check the box, but I will never give you the long sword on my back. I think if you put yourself in my shoes, you will understand my difficulties."
"What the gentleman said makes sense, but we are not unreasonable people. You can also put yourself in our shoes and think about our situation. I'm sure you can figure out why we do this."
At this moment, a steady male voice was heard. Everyone present was very familiar with this voice, including Ye Li who was now surrounded.
At this moment, the rebels who were familiar with the owner of this voice also opened a gap in the encirclement to make way for General Wulang who came here to inspect the military situation today. At the same time, they were also thinking about the conversation between Ye Li and the general.
"You must be the commander of the military camp here. Although the situation is very tense during the lockdown, I have to prevent you from causing harm to me.
If you don't believe me, we signed a non-aggression treaty. I guess the reason you didn't do anything was because of my clothes. You should know where they came from."
"My name is Wulang, and I am the general of this army. Judging from your behavior, you are indeed a Liyue person, but there are also people in the Inazuma who are good at disguise. Our two armies have been fighting for more than two months, and we have had undercover conflicts of all sizes, so please forgive me, sir."
"I see, first courtesy then force? It turns out that the real test is still to be seen in action."
Ye Li knew very well why the familiar yet unfamiliar General Wu Lang said this. Not to mention that the isolation order had caused the people to live in misery, the shortage of resources and undercover spies when the two armies went to war were enough to make their spirits tense to the extreme.
If it weren't for the fact that there was an immature military advisor leading their rebel army, Ye Li would have felt that they were the most hardworking army he had ever seen, having been able to support themselves for two months without the advisor.
Drawing out the long sword behind him, Ye Li looked at the rebels who were ready to attack and surrounded him, and said in a calm tone:
"Since you guys can't use soft tactics, I'll use hard tactics. I'll do my best to beat you all into submission. I'm going to beat 100 of you today."
"Sir, you are so brave. I, Goro, admire you. We will only knock you down and then interrogate you. When we are done investigating, the things will be returned to you. I, Goro, can guarantee this, and all the resistance soldiers present can guarantee this as well."
"Okay, in that case, the verbal contract has been concluded. The penalty for breaking the promise is not very tasty. Come on."
At this moment, Wu Lang faced Ye Li calmly and naturally, as if he had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes. At the same time, he ordered his rebels to take action, mainly to control someone.
The initial test began, and four or five members of the rebel army charged forward with spears in their hands. Ye Li calmly pointed his sword twice, instantly disrupting the momentum of the four or five rebel soldiers' encirclement and charge. Then he turned around and gently slapped the sword, directly knocking several people out.
"What a great strength! This merchant is really not simple. Brothers, come together and take him down, otherwise we will lose face tonight."
"To be on the safe side, add a few more people."
“Ahhh, charge!”
Wu Lang looked at the situation where there were four or five rebels at the beginning, and then 30 rebels were surrounded and defeated. There was an expected look in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and ordered a rebel next to him to let some of his companions who rushed over return to their posts. He would take care of it here.
"Damn it, my hands lost control and he slashed and swept my hands with his sword and they hit someone else."
"Ouch, my face! Brother, please aim your gun more accurately! It almost disfigured me."
The rebels surrounding Ye Li were in a commotion. They were fooled by Ye Li's agile body and swordsmanship. They felt as relaxed as if they had returned home.
Ye Li jumped up and kicked with a series of shadowless kicks, directly kicking away the rebels who surrounded him one after another. He easily controlled each person like a stepping stone, until the last one fell face to the ground, and then he flipped over from mid-air and landed steadily.
Ye Li, with his dashing and heroic appearance in his gray, blue and white Taoist robe, and his handsome, sharp face and peaceful gaze just like Zhongli, can be said to be extremely handsome.
At this moment, some of the girls in the resistance army who were responsible for treatment and bandaging were also stunned. At the same time, they had a more intuitive understanding of Ye Li's strength. They couldn't help but have wild thoughts and some of them even blushed.
Ye Li didn't care about the strange looks from others. Compared with the looks he received when he led millions of Qianyan Army soldiers to join the heartland of the West Sea Alliance, these looks were as insignificant as a pebble on the beach.
Seeing that Ye Li had already knocked down more than 50 rebels, the other rebels holding spears helped up their fallen companions as if they were facing a formidable enemy. At the same time, the other rebels who were watching the fun also gripped their weapons, ready to fight a hundred people against one person.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic and there were uncontrollable factors, Goro, as the general, had no choice but to step forward and order everyone to stop.
Ye Li had a calm expression. He performed a sword dance and sheathed his sword. He smiled as he looked at the brown-haired animal-eared man with a small white patch in his bangs, Wu Lang, who was walking towards him. He said,
"My dear friend Wu Lang, are you going to subdue me personally?"
"Sir, you misunderstood. With your strength, even if we are tough, the consequences will be unacceptable to us."
"I see. You want to take a step back."
"Yes sir, your strength has been recognized by everyone present. May I know your name, sir?"
Facing Wu Lang's serious and polite questioning, Ye Li did not hide anything and simply said:
"My last name is Ye, and my first name is Li. I am currently a guest official at the Liyue Wangsheng Hall. This time I came here to open a branch hall in Inazuma. However, due to some force majeure, the ship was destroyed in the thunderstorm. I could only arrive here on a small boat. I believe you should have investigated this as well."
After half an hour of communication, Ye Li and Wu Lang confirmed each other's current information. At the same time, Wu Lang instructed his subordinates to pass the investigated intelligence to the military advisor far away in the Coral Palace, that is, the current human-god priestess of Orobasi, Xinhai of the Coral Palace.
……
In the beautiful Coral Palace Shrine, Coral Palace Xinhai looked at the letter brought back after two days of travel. He was very interested in Ye Li introduced by Wu Lang. At the same time, there was a touch of melancholy in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice:
"I don't know what Mr. Ye Li's purpose is in coming here. Judging from the introduction in Wu Lang's letter, the excuse of opening a branch is too lame, but his identity is indeed true."
Fingers wearing delicate white silk gloves gently slid over every word on the envelope, finally stopping at the statement about Ye Li's fighting ability.
"This man was able to defeat more than 50 well-trained rebels with just one sword. His combat power should not be underestimated. Liyue's Wangsheng Hall? Perhaps we can start cooperation from this point of entry, but we have to be careful. I have to think about many aspects."
