Chapter 531 I thought I was just an exception, but I didn’t expect that you all treat them equally.
The royal envoy died in the end.
Under the Betrayer's Plague, first the bloodline faded, and then the toxins surged back, making death extremely painful.
Under normal circumstances, there is no backlash of toxins in the Betrayer's Plague, and the bloodline does not fade so quickly. It may take seven days to a month for the bloodline to completely subside, and then the person dies slowly.
The reason why he died so quickly was because he encountered the corpse of Ke as the source of death. Otherwise, with his strength, he could theoretically survive for at least a month.
"The second irregular spread caused irreversible damage to the remaining traitor plague."
"It would be difficult to have a similar effect on a second person."
Lu Xingshi did not extract the blood this time, but burned it directly.
He didn't dare to burn Ke's body, fearing that it would be the source anyway, and if it was burned it would evaporate and it would be the end of it.
But the corpse of the royal messenger was different. The contagion was basically cut off, and after being damaged, the flames could already cause injuries to it.
The flames rose and the body was charred and turned into ashes. Lu Xingshi waited for about two hours before burying it.
"But what is the purpose of this royal court envoy going to the Tongshu Tribe?" After Lu Xingshi finished the burial, he began to think about this matter.
There was only one tribe in the direction he came from.
"It won't be to report it." Lu Xingshi thought of this possibility.
If he is rehabilitated again, his subsequent efforts to stir up trouble will be ineffective.
On the contrary, the royal court covered up the matter and finally made it a solid case, and Lu Xingshi was able to benefit from it.
This is not to protect the palate, but to safeguard the interests of the royal court.
The royal court's previous character was fair and just, and if something like this happened, it would inevitably affect the enthusiasm of each tribe.
So the best way is to find someone to take the blame, saying that it is not Wang Ting's fault, but Lu Xingshi who is slandering Wang Ting.
In other people's land, Lu Xing and others have also fled. Naturally, it is not Wang Ting who has the final say on what to say and do.
He was not surprised by this. After all, the royal court was already a similar existence to a city-state, and would not be as distinct as a tribe.
Just to say that Wang Ting is not at fault, it is definitely impossible. It can develop that the people of Wang Ting deliberately intercepted the resources of the tribesmen. Without the connivance of Wang Ting, it would not be so blatant.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, it's his children and nephews who benefit, and in the end it's the royal court's foundation that is enhanced, so he turns a blind eye.
That's why it's similar to a city-state. If it's a small court, it will only regard the tribe as part of its own rule, rather than as an object of indirect plunder.
They only focused on their own royal court and ignored other tribes.
Even if the Bronze Royal Court is unified in the future, the end will not be too good.
After all, Lu Xingshi was still here, and he was right to kill Ya Hechang, but Wang Ting came over and deliberately targeted him, so don't blame him for being ruthless and ruthless in retaliating in the future.
In fact, he didn't ask for much, and even just asked Wang Ting to keep silent about it, then he could regard it as Wang Ting's last resort.
However, Wang Ting ended up in the end, not only covering up the truth but also throwing dirty water on him, so it was reasonable for Lu Xingshi to kill them.
Originally he was the victim, but they didn't want to solve the problem but wanted to solve him. Then Wang Ting became Lu Xingshi's trouble, so he also had to solve this trouble.
It's just that now is not the time. I am not strong enough to directly defeat the entire royal court. I need to develop for a while.
After dealing with the royal envoys, Lu Xingshi continued towards the Tongshu tribe.
The way back was supposed to be calm, but after walking for three days, I met people from the Fire Bronze Tribe.
The main reason was that Lu Xingshi recognized the other party. This person was called En, one of the people who escorted the fire essence copper to the Tongshu tribe with Lu Xingshi.
"En, why are you here?" Lu Xingshi went over and said hello.
En was a little surprised when he saw Lu Xingshi: "Lu, you're back. Didn't I remember that you went to the royal court?"
"Something happened, so I had to come back." Lu Xingshi was vague, and then asked: "Are you planning to go to the Bronze Tree Tribe?"
"Yes, I plan to go to the Bronze Tree Tribe." En answered directly: "Our tribe used military exploits in exchange for a lot of things at the Royal Court, but none of these things came back. I sent someone to ask what was going on. The Royal Court said It's lost."
"I want to go and ask your tribe if this is the case." En was straightforward.
"Where are the other tribes? Have you ever asked?" Lu Xingshi spoke.
"There are them too, but some are not all lost." The Fire Bronze Tribe where En is located and the Copper Tree Tribe where Lu Xingshi is located are not close to each other, and there are several tribes in between.
"That's a coincidence. You should know that I went to the Royal Court to further my studies." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but sneered, and then explained the situation like this. He originally thought that he was being slandered just to cover up, but now it seems that the people in the royal court are really brave, and this can only be regarded as a small problem for him.
In fact, they directly deducted all kinds of natural materials and treasures that the tribe exchanged for their military exploits.
You must know that these resources were obtained by each tribe in exchange for their lives.
What's more important is that there are some vague divisions. For example, the Tongshu tribe where Lu Xingshi belongs is allocated to leeks. As for why it was done by the palate, it was probably white gloves, otherwise it would be too ugly.
Of course, it is also possible that Li didn’t know about this, otherwise the heavenly materials and earthly treasures redeemed by the Tongshu Tribe would not have fallen into his hands
As for why she was able to redeem them easily, it is probably for this reason. , the issuer thought it was Lii who came to take the share, but he didn’t expect that it was given directly to Lu Xingshi.
In this way, the military achievements were discounted and the favor was returned, but the things fell into the hands of the senior officials of their royal court.
Maybe even the Witch King didn't know about this, otherwise he wouldn't have covered it up, because it really couldn't be covered up.
After listening to Lu Xingshi's words, En's eyes widened.
He had been with Lu Xingshi for a month, so he naturally knew what kind of character Lu Xingshi was. However, he was expelled the next day. It was ridiculous to say that he stole.
"Wait a minute, you mean that all the things we exchanged were intercepted by the royal court and then told us that they were lost?" En realized what Lu Xingshi wanted to express.
"Otherwise, you don't think anyone would dare to steal in the royal court."
"And even if someone stole it, don't you think the behavior at Wang Ting is a bit strange?"
"It's not just your Fire Bronze Tribe that has been lost, it's also been lost by all the tribes you asked about. The Royal Court is not at all anxious about such a big theft. Do you think it's possible?"
Lu Xingshi's continuous words made Xin's face look ugly.
that's the truth.
"As for whether you believe it or not, I don't care. You can tell Wu Wu exactly what I said. He has his own judgment." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.
"I know, but I still plan to go to the Copper Tree Tribe." En agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement, but still wanted to go to the Copper Tree Tribe to make sure.
"It just so happens that we have the same destination, so we can be companions on the road." Lu Xingshi didn't lie, and he had a clear conscience.
Naturally, I don't have to worry about En going to the Tongshu tribe to ask questions.
The two set off together soon, but Lu Xingshi slowed down a lot in order to take care of En. En was naturally not as strong as Lu Xingshi, so his movement speed was not as good.
"By the way, the Fire Bronze Tribe will go to the Royal Court next to ask for an explanation. It's best to have more people and bring along those tribes who have also lost their treasures."
"The people in the royal court are very disdainful towards us tribesmen. If you go to find the Witch King, you will most likely be expelled for any reason like me." Lu Xingshi reminded.
In the past, one person would only be killed alone in this kind of thing, but if a group of people goes by, you can't stop them even if you want to.
En actually doesn't believe it, after all, the prestige of the Bronze Royal Court is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But it was Lu Xingshi who took it seriously: "I will tell you. There may be some misunderstanding about this matter."
"It's for the best if there's a misunderstanding, but I'm afraid it's not the case." Lu Xingshi could understand the other party's tact. After all, he was outside and he was not a member of the Fire Bronze Tribe, so he couldn't say anything so casually.
…
"The treasures exchanged for war achievements were lost in the royal court." The Bronze Witch King listened to several totem warriors from different tribes in front of him, who came to ask about the lost treasures.
The exchange process for most tribes is actually to entrust the royal court to exchange it, and then they will help send it there with the royal court envoys and royal court people.
This kind of thing has never happened before. After all, so many high-value treasures were not exchanged in the past.
"That's right, the royal court envoy came to convey that our things were lost in the royal court, and we can only exchange them with military merit." A totem warrior said.
"And when we came to see the Witch King, we were obstructed and attacked. In addition, several tribesmen were expelled from the royal court on charges of theft and were not allowed to enter the royal court without recruitment."
"These people, like us, are here to ask about the missing treasures." Another totem warrior said.
The Bronze Witch King's face suddenly darkened. At this time, he still didn't understand what happened.
And the problem is very bad, especially when he turned a similar matter into an ironclad case under his instruction. The original intention was to protect the royal court, but now it seems that his behavior has become the fault of some people. Cover and assist.
These people were able to see him because there were so many of them, otherwise they would probably be accused of theft and expelled.
There are naturally interactions between tribes, so what Lu Xingshi can detect is that those tribe shamans who are relatively close to each other can naturally guess part of the truth by asking each other.
"I will give you an explanation." The Bronze Witch King understood that if this matter was not handled well, the next fate would be for their Bronze Royal Court to be destroyed by the Golden Royal Court, because all tribes would not fight for the Royal Court.
