The leader’s hair was sprinkled with white, his face full of wrinkles and his skin suntanned. However, his bearing didn’t seem old at all. He thought a bit while stroking his beard, and said to Zhou Xu, “This is easy to handle, let’s make a plan.”

“But Wanshui Po is too big, and their clan is three times the size of ours. If one group surrounds us, while the others attack our straw houses, we might not be able to defend both sides. Why don’t all the men directly stay here, to let the people from the enemy clan go to Wanshui Po and throw themselves on nothing, and we’ll also be able to deal with them on this side.”

“Zhou Xu, what you’re saying makes sense, however, you must know that since Yan He has decided to go to Wanshui Po, then, he certainly would have made preparations. As for what kind of preparation, you should go ask him tonight.”

“Okay.”

Truthfully, Zhou Xu recognized that this kind of primitive world really didn’t fit him. He didn’t know how to handle stubborn people, the kind of person who walked straight ahead without ever taking a detour.

After finding Yan He’s hut, Zhou Xu knocked on the door. The word “wait” came from inside. However, the door opened by itself.

Standing by the door, Zhou Xu didn’t know if he should enter, so he simply looked inside. A naked back greeted his eyes.

Zhou Xu did not close his eyes, and instead, he continued to look. The person inside should have just finished washing himself, and a few droplets of water littered his back.

The bronze skin appeared very healthy. The back muscles were sturdy, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist. On the left side of the waist, there was a thumb-sized scar. The scar should already be old, therefore it wasn’t immediately visible. He had a firm bottom, and his thighs…

His thighs couldn’t be seen anymore, because the person had put his clothes on.

Turning his head, the man asked with a slightly cold voice, “Does it look good?”

As the man turned his head, his body also slowly turned a little, so Zhou Xu could see a certain part of the man, as well as the bright red mole on it.

Zhou Xu smiled slightly, and as he watched the man continue clothing himself, he thought of a plan.

“Not bad. If it wasn’t that dark, maybe it’ll be even better looking.”

The man shot a glance at Zhou Xu before saying, “If you have something to say then say it, if you don’t, fuck off.”

Zhou Xu continued to smile and said, “I do. Can I come in?”

Yan He looked at Zhou Xu, asking impatiently, “What kind of matters are there for you to insist on coming in?”

Zhou Xu ignored his objection and pushed open the door. After entering, he directly sat on a wooden chair, crossed his legs and said, “Originally, I had one matter to talk about, now I have two.”

“Speak quickly.”

“First of all, Hexi clan will attack us at Wanshui Po tomorrow . At the same time, they will assign another group to attack our straw houses. The clan leader wanted me to ask you what kind of countermeasure you have. And secondly, Yan He, I fell for you.”

The cold expression of Yan He did not change in the least bit. He was silent for a while, before saying, “Regarding the issue of Wanshui Po, bringing a hundred warriors with me will suffice. On this side, there will be Han Wen to take care of the straw houses, so that won’t pose an issue.”

“Since that has been decided, then about the matter of me having taken a fancy to you, what’s your answer?”

“Does this still require an answer? I have one word for you: scram.”

“Very well then, wait for me.” Finished speaking, Zhou Xu left. However, his mood was very good, because he found his lover as soon as he arrived.

However, his lover seemed to hold some prejudices against him, which was a little problematic.

Zhou Xu had always thought that his lover would fall in love with him at first sight in each world. Or even if they knew each other beforehand, he would be fond of him after he transmigrated over. It seemed like he’d been wrong.

One look at Yan He and one would know that he was someone with a cold demeanor and facial paralysis who was serious both in speech and manner. For Zhou Xu, this kind of person was very good, as long as he provoked him at the right time, it would be enough.

On the morning of the second day, the aged clan leader organized an Elders’ general meeting. The original Zhou Xu had been an elder, and it went without saying that Yan He was also one. Ruan Shijin, who had transmigrated quite some time ago, was also an elder, and due to his popularity, a high ranking one as well.

On the way to the meeting, Zhou Xu accidentally stumbled a little, only to be caught by the person walking at his side.

After regaining his balance, Zhou Xu zoned out a little. The feeling in his palm was too familiar. This was the feeling that his lover gave him.

Turning his head, the person who caught him was indeed Yan He.

At the meeting, Yan He was dressed in blue. In his hand was the cane symbolizing the clan’s power. His gaze was profound, his speech also carrying weight. He was talking about what one had to pay attention to during the hunt that day.

When he spoke, no one dared to utter a sound. As Yan He finished, the clan leader opened his mouth to speak, but Ruan Shijin stood up. The audience lowered their heads slightly. After what could be taken as greetings, he said, “Leader, I cannot accept this operation because it has already been known by the Hexi clan. Moreover, they are lying in ambush.”

After Ruan Shijin finished talking, the elders looked at one another, before turning to look at Ruan Shijin.

Zhou Xu had remained calm the entire time, standing at the far back, as if he hadn’t been present.

An elder around the age of the clan leader said to Ruan Shijin, “Ah, Shijin, how do you know that the Hexi clan is aware of our plan?”

Ruan Shijin pointed at Zhou Xu and said, “It’s him. He told the Hexi clan about all our plans. Last night, at Baigui Po, I saw it with my own eyes, and I heard it with my own ears. He told the people from Hexi clan about our plan to go to Wanshui Po today.”

Everybody looked toward Zhou Xu. He was behaving as always, as if the matter did not concern him. In the end, he even closed his eyes, as if in deep thoughts.

The elder around the same age as the clan leader looked at Zhou Xu’s demeanor, then lightly sighed. He turned around to speak to Ruan Shijin, “Shijin, you cannot randomly accuse people. If one slanders a clan elder without evidence, their tongue will be pulled out.”

“I know. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that I am not slandering him. Last night, I was behind them in the bushes. They did not notice me.” Having finished, Ruan Shijin walked in front of Zhou Xu, saying in a forceful and resounding way, “Zhou Xu, do you dare to contradict me?”

Zhou Xu stepped back a step, as if repulsed by Ruan Shijin. Soon after, he lifted his head slightly to answer, “I dare not.”

There was a momentary feeling of awkwardness at the scene. Some elders wanted to speak, but the clan leader, who had been sitting in a dignified way the whole time, finally stood up.

“That’s enough, I knew about this matter from the start. Last night, Zhou Xu had already informed me. He contacted them deliberately. What we have to discuss next is how to turn this to our advantage. I haven’t even talked, Shijin, why are you so hasty?”

Ruan Shijin was stunned. Actually, so were a lot of the elders on the scene. Because Ruan Shijin was always steady and capable, they all liked him very much. They were even ready to foster him into the next clan leader. Now, it seemed that he was still a little bit unsteady.

Looking at the defeated Ruan Shijin, Zhou Xu’s mood was not bad. He really liked looking at the changes in other people’s expressions.

Yan He had witnessed the calm and collected appearance of Zhou Xu. He discovered that since the previous night, Zhou Xu had been a little strange. He was different from the previous Zhou Xu who only knew how to be jealous, without paying attention to his own abilities.

The clan leader looked at Ruan Shijin, his gaze revealing a little dissatisfaction. He then resumed the meeting, “Now, let’s discuss what we should do, now that the Hexi clan knows about our plans.”

Yan He stood up once again, “There is no need to do anything special. Wanshui Po is already filled with traps we made, that’s why I only need to lead one hundred men there to deal with it. It matters not if the Hexi clan comes with one hundred or even one thousand people, they will not be our opponent. I’m more worried about the situation at our base. If they use their main force to attack it, the situation will be very dangerous, as we have many elders, women and children here.”

The clan chief and the other elders all nodded. Yan He looked towards the other man and said, “Han Wen, I’ll give all the remaining warriors to you. Do you think you’ll be able to protect our base?”

The man called Han Wen was as tall as Han Ge just as bulky too. However, Han Wen was slightly paler than him. Because of this, the air he gave off had a touch of quiet calm.

“No problem. If I can’t protect our home after all the six hundred remaining warriors are given to me, then I can quit being an elder.”

The clan chief nodded and said, “Han Wen, then what is your strategy?”

Han Wen thought a little before answering, “Kill all that comes.”

Inside, Zhou Xu wanted to smile. Could this still be considered a strategy? As a result however, after Han Wen finished, the elders all nodded, expressing their satisfaction.

Zhou Xu found that this kind of world really didn’t suit him.

On the same day, Yan He brought one hundred warriors to Wanshui Po and Han Wen led the remaining warriors to protect their village. In the end, five hundred warriors of the Hexi clan had gone to Wanshui Po, while one thousand and five hundred went to attack the village.

Zhou Xu was looking for a high place to look at the distance. On Han Wen’s side, he was already shouting to the warriors under him.

“What are our responsibilities? It is to protect our relatives. We are warriors, and being a warrior means that we need to shed blood. We will fight the Hexi clan to the end!”

All the warriors shouted with him, “Fight to the end!”

Zhou Xu once again was rendered speechless. Six hundred people fighting one thousand and five hundred. They could say that they’ll fight to the end, but wasn’t it just looking for death?

The space between his eyebrows tightened as Zhou Xu began to formulate a plan. Just as he was thinking, the clan leader came over and said, “Zhou Xu, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and prepare to fight ah.”

Zhou Xu very much wanted to roll his eyes. If they don’t quickly find a solution for this situation, then there’s no point in fighting.

“I’ll think of a method.”

“What figuring out a method. For the sake of our clan, just go up and fight. Don’t you forget, our clan’s symbols are bravery and fearlessness.”

Secretly saying “bravery and fearlessness is just courting death” in his mind, Zhou Xu nodded and said: “Clan leader, can you provide me one hundred warriors so I can lead them to attack from the sides?”

“En, okay.”

Zhou Xu: “. . .”

He thought that it would take a lot of effort to persuade the clan elder. What he didn’t expect was for him to immediately agree without even thinking it through.

The clan leader stroked his beard and said: “So long as it’s a fight and not flight, it’ll suffice.”

Hearing the clan leader say that, Zhou Xu considered the direction the enemy was coming from and their terrain. After taking another look at their side of the terrain, he said: “Clan leader, then could I ask for two hundred warriors?”

“Okay. I’ll go ask Han Wen.”

Zhou Xu nodded, finding that this clan’s chief seemed to be too easy to talk to. But right now he didn’t have any time to do this type of thinking. In approximately another hour, the Hexi clan’s people would arrive.

All of the elderly, women and children in the village had been evacuated, but Zhou Xu still didn’t want them to attack the village. Thus he led two hundred warriors with him, and left one hundred warriors to flank from the left. Nearby, there was an overhanging cliff that was ten meters in height, but the cliff was also covered in vines. In other words, besides those who understood the topography, others would not notice this cliff.

This was the method Zhou Xu had come up with at the last moment according to the memories of the original owner of the body. At the same time, he asked the other one hundred people to flank them from the right, around a small stream. There were not many people there, but a lot of poisonous mosquitoes.

The natives certainly knew how to drive away the mosquitos, but those that weren’t from the area certainly would not.

Zhou Xu asked them to take defensive measures, then proceeded to lead the Hexi clan’s people in that direction.

As a matter of a fact, if these people were bitten by a mosquito, they wouldn’t die, but after the bite the itching would become unbearable, and they would eventually fall unconscious. But this wasn’t serious. If the bites didn’t continue, they would wake up a few hours later.

According to Zhou Xu’s plan, if they were successful, then two hundred of their soldiers would be able to take care of the one thousand soldiers on the other side, leaving the remaining five hundred for Han Wen to deal with.

Having decided on this method, Zhou Xu led the warriors to set off. After fifteen minutes, Zhou Xu’s troupe met with another wave of people.

This wave of people was led by none other than Yan He who led the warriors.

Zhou Xu looked at Yan He in shock, “It’s finished?”

Yan He looked back at Zhou Xu for a quick glance: “En.”

“Your speed is really fast, not bad.” Zhou Xu said. He looked at Yan He’s unchanged apathetic expression. Zhou Xu was feeling really good, so he moved forward rapidly, kissing Yan He like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water, before saying, “I like you even more now, what to do?”

Yan He’s face was as always without an expression. However, his gaze was frigid, “Do you want to die?”
