Chapter 868 Liar?

"interesting."

In the big tent, Fu Qingzhou slowly opened his eyes: "Nebula Chamber of Commerce, Yellow Sheep Shaman... The situation in Beiyi is more interesting than I thought."

What he was most curious about, of course, was how the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce was "expelled by the Yan Kingdom."

Logically speaking, Shen Chuke had clearly stood on his side at that time...so at the very least, with the financial resources and capabilities of the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce, it should not be driven out of Yan State. It is impossible for the "royalists" not to strive for such a force.

And isn’t the headquarters of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce in the South China Sea?
That place is far away from the Central Plains. Logically speaking, the war between the Xishuo Army and the rebel army would not affect them.

Why did you run to Beiyi?

Did they come here to be the insiders? But the Northern Yi people wouldn't be so stupid as to send a large group of undercover agents to do business in their hinterland?
Or did Shen Chuke eventually side with King Xishuo, and the relationship between King Xishuo and Beiyi also involve the matter of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce?

Fu Qingzhou had a vague feeling that something big was happening here.

Besides, that Yellow Sheep Shaman... is she looking for me to compete with her?
Of course, it may not be a competition. Now in the eyes of others, I am probably still a liar.

"Through the paper crane, I can't sense her strength. I wonder if she has reached the Cave Heaven stage."

"But if she has reached the Cave Heaven Realm, she should have gone to the front line... and she didn't even notice the paper crane I hid on Ayiguli."

"Not necessarily. She looks like she is of high status. Maybe she is an important figure, which is why she didn't go to the front line."

But no matter what, the current situation is favorable to Fu Qingzhou.

Attracting a shaman of extraordinary status can allow oneself to enter Huoyar's sight more quickly.

As for the Nebula Chamber of Commerce...

Fu Qingzhou closed his eyes.

When Aiguli went there, she was alone, looking pitiful and pulling a cart.

But when she returned to the Sand Scorpion Tribe, she was followed by a caravan, which included not only the Yellow Sheep Shaman Zulaiha and her group of followers, but also some people from the Nebula Chamber of Commerce, including Situ Chong.

What are they here for?
Fu Qingzhou was quite curious.

But there is no point in guessing right now, so why not... wait for things to happen naturally.

This wait lasted another day.

The next afternoon, Aiguli led the long convoy back to the Sand Scorpion Tribe.

The people in the tribe looked at the long convoy in amazement, and when Zuleiha got off the carriage with a crowd of people following, they were so shocked that they fell to their knees.

The Yellow Sheep Shaman Zulaiha has a very large formation.

Her previous performance in the Nebula Chamber of Commerce could at best be described as "seemingly of high status", but her demeanor at this time had made it clear that she was definitely more than just a shaman.

Before she got off the carriage, a group of people had laid out a soft sheepskin carpet with two large leaves raised high to block the sunlight. When she got off the carriage, there was even a follower kneeling under the carriage and using his body as a footstool.

With this situation, people would believe it if someone said it was Khatun (the queen of the Northern Barbarians).

It’s no wonder that the people of the Sand Scorpion Tribe had no idea who she was, but just by looking at her posture, they all fell to their knees.

"Everyone, get up."

Facing the kneeling of the people from the Sand Scorpion Tribe, Zulaiha did not feel uncomfortable at all. It was obvious that she had long been accustomed to this kind of scene. She said leisurely: "Ayiguli, where is the liar you mentioned?"

At this time, Ayiguli was getting off another carriage with Situ Chong, holding a box of pearls tightly in her arms.

Hearing this, she frowned and said, "Master Zulaiha, we still have to rely on that shaman to save our lives. You can't call him a liar."

After a day of spending time together on the road, she actually already knew a little bit about the temperament of this Yellow Sheep Shaman.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he has a "sharp tongue but a soft heart", but Zulaiha does put the Yi country and the faith and glory of the Yi people first, and does not care about other things. His previous performance in the Nebula Chamber of Commerce was due to this.

So even if Ayiguli was not too polite to Zulaiha...it would not lead to any consequences.

Under the slightly frightened and doubtful gazes of the people of the Sand Scorpion Tribe, Zulaiha responded coldly: "In that case, you should quickly invite that 'Shaman Lord' out. There is no shaman in the entire Dayi tribe that I don't know!"

Aiguli pouted and trotted away holding the pearl. On the other side, Zuleiha had casually asked everyone in the Sand Scorpion Tribe to stand up, and her men had quickly placed a large chair covered with fine velvet nearby and helped her sit on it.

In the big tent, Fu Qingzhou moved his neck and opened his eyes.

Just at this moment, Aiguli rushed in.

"Master Shaman!"

She looked a little complicated: "I brought the pearl back, but..."

"I know." Fu Qingzhou interrupted her calmly, "Zuleha, the Yellow Sheep Shaman, I know she is coming."

Ayiguli was stunned.

"Let's go. If she wants to meet me, then let's meet for a while." Fu Qingzhou said, picking up the "wooden stick" placed aside, slowly stood up, and in a flash, he was next to Aiguli, lifted the curtain and was about to walk out.

Ayiguli's eyes lit up.

She certainly didn't hope that the shaman was a liar.

She had seen with her own eyes the shaman sweep a group of people away with a wave of his hand, and had also seen him take objects from a pot in mid-air, treating hot bones as if they were nothing, and now she saw him take several feet in one step...

"I believe you, you are definitely not a liar!"

For some reason, Aiguli suddenly said these words to Fu Qingzhou's back.

Fu Qingzhou paused in lifting the curtain.

He turned around, glanced at the other person, and said expressionlessly: "Maybe."

After saying this, he strode out without caring about the dazed look on Aiguli's face.

As soon as he left the big tent, he met Zuleiha's eyes not far away.

Zulayha stood up immediately.

"Are you the shaman that Ayiguli mentioned?"

She frowned, her eyes flashing: "I haven't seen you before!"

Fu Qingzhou did not answer, but walked slowly towards him calmly, supporting himself with his wooden stick.

The people of the Sand Scorpion Tribe subconsciously made way for him. Situ Chong looked at Fu Qingzhou's face with some confusion, wondering what he was thinking. Then he turned his head and said to his men, "Don't miss any details. Write them all down."

Fu Qingzhou ignored them and walked leisurely to a dozen steps in front of Zulaiha, and said calmly: "I haven't seen you either."

"You are not a shaman listed in the Ancestral Hall at all." Zulaiha sneered, "You are indeed a liar!"

After saying that, she raised her hand, as if she was about to give the order to arrest Fu Qingzhou.

But the next moment, Fu Qingzhou reached out and pulled his neck.

He had a necklace of bear teeth around his neck, which he ripped off and threw directly to Zuleiha.

Zulaiha caught it subconsciously and was immediately startled.

She could clearly feel that there was a bear tooth in this necklace that was particularly different...

"Ancestor Bear's Fang!"

She blurted out: "How come you have the fang of the ancestral bear!"

"I'm from the Feixiong tribe." Fu Qingzhou said coldly, "It's just that I haven't been in the tribe for many, many years. I've been practicing outside... If you don't believe me, you can go ask Maoisig."

"Mauisig..."

Zulaiha frowned: "Who is he to you?"

"If you are interested, go ask him in person." Fu Qingzhou said calmly, "I don't know what you are doing here, but I promised the Sand Scorpion Tribe to pray for rain for them... Next I have to do my business. If you disturb me, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed from a distance.

With this grab, the bear tooth necklace that Zuleha was holding tightly in her hand suddenly flew out of her palm and flew towards Fu Qingzhou!
"!!!"

Zulayha was shocked.

Fu Qingzhou still had no expression on his face. He just put the necklace back on his neck and shouted loudly: "Ayiguli!"

“Yes, yes, yes! Master Shaman, I’m here!”

Aiguli came running over with the box of pearls in her hand.

Fu Qingzhou waved her hand, and the lid of the wooden box in her arms opened automatically. The pearls inside flew out one by one, hovering in the low air and forming a small circle.

"go with!"

He growled and swung his staff vigorously.

The next moment, amid the expectation, surprise, shock, questioning, and speculation of the crowd, the pearls flew away and disappeared in all directions.
