Chapter 9 Whispering softly weighs a thousand pounds
There are nearly 100 tribes of a certain scale around Xidu, ranging from hundreds to thousands, some of them are very strong, with more than one Qi Refiner, and the ordinary warriors of each tribe have also been tempered in the harsh environment for a long time, all of them are very brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, and their strength is very considerable.
In addition, the small settlements scattered among the mountains and wilderness are even more densely populated.
Xidu has a population of tens of thousands, and compared to any tribe, it can be said that it is crushed in all aspects, but if all the tribes are united, it will be difficult for Xidu to withstand without a powerful Qi refining cultivator.
This is also the reason why many barbarian tribes have joined forces.
They have lived in this land for generations, they are children of the jungle and thorns, born free, and for no reason there is a king who can control their destiny, and no one wants to accept it.
The former King Xi was too powerful, and they had no choice but to submit to the feet of the strong, and they suffered from the obscenity of Xidu.
Now that the opportunity has come, they are no longer willing to accept the domination of others.
When King Xinxi summoned these tribal representatives to worship in front of all the people of Xidu, all the tribal envoys present exhaled deeply.
Today is the beginning of their freedom, they are not fighting alone, behind them stand all the tribes.
With a great mission, the representatives of the tribes came out of the crowd.
There are a total of ten people in the group, most of them wear linen clothes inside, wrapped in animal skin armor, no crown hat on their heads, shawls are like a bird's nest, straw sandals are on their feet, and some people wear leather boots produced by Xidu, and the overall look is relatively shabby.
These people are also the leading figures of their respective tribes, which shows what the standard of living of the rest of the tribe really is.
"I've seen the king!"
The ten envoys bowed to greet them, and they were very respectful on the surface.
However, in the next moment, not only the high-level leaders of Xidu, but even the people of Xidu were in a bang!
The barbarian tribe didn't even worship on the ground!
"These barbarians are so bold, they are so rude, today's worship is not an ordinary reception, they don't even bow down, this is provoking our Xidu!"
The people were shocked and angry.
The people in front of them could see it, and the expressions on the faces of the high-level officials in Xidu were naturally even more ugly.
If it weren't for this solemn occasion, if it weren't for the king and the witch who didn't speak, he would have hacked to death with an axe ~ species!
Wu Tong, who is always kind and kind, is also pale at the moment, and he keeps rubbing a witch wand with one hand, silent.
The bald dragon's nose was even more crooked, how could they have been so embarrassed and angry, not to mention that this kind of shame and provocation came from the dog he had in the past, which was so aggrieved that he was hurt internally.
After a brief commotion, the huge venue fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the new monarch of Hee Kingdom.
The whole kingdom of Xi was watching to see how their king should punish each other, but the ten representatives of the tribal alliance who had finished the salute were emboldened, holding their heads high, and looking like villains were rampant when they were triumphant.
Today's Yao Yun was dressed in a gorgeous prince's costume and sat high on the throne of tiger skin, when everyone's eyes were on him, he was unexpectedly not angry, and he couldn't even find the slightest gloom on his face.
Full of spring breeze and amiable.
"No need to be polite, Lone is here to welcome the arrival of all the envoys, I heard that the leaders of the tribes have something to do and cannot come, Lone is very considerate, after all, it is autumn now, and you need to prepare for winter. ”
Yao Yun's words stunned everyone at once, King Xinxi didn't hold the other party accountable for his faux pas, everyone else stood on their heads and and peed, and they thought about others and spoke, which was too confusing.
The barbarians who have always been sycophants don't understand what their own king does, and the bald dragon who is secretly observing is even more coldly snorted and said don't overdo it, muttering, "The mud can't support the wall, it's just a bag!"
The representatives of the "tribal alliance" were even more vigorous.
Heedu had lost so much that they were powerless to rule them, and the freedom they had dreamed of was imminent.
When they return, they will become heroes of the major tribes!
However, Yao Yun then said another sentence, which quickly made the face of the "Tribal Alliance" change.
"Lone understands the leaders of the major tribes very well, and at the same time, he is also very worried about the subjects living in the mountains and forests, today Xidu has encountered a lot of things, materials may be much scarce compared to previous years, food, salt and the like are relatively scarce, I wanted to take this opportunity to negotiate with the leaders of the tribes, but unfortunately ......."
What does it mean to talk nonsense with your eyes open, Yao Yun is now.
This year's grain harvest is very good, it is a good year, beans, millet, millet are piled up in the granary, plus the trade with the Zhuxia caravan, there is no shortage of food for the winter, this is known to the people of Xidu, and the tribes are also very clear.
As for salt, it is even more nonsense, Xidu produces salt, and the salt well was discovered two years ago, so there is no shortage of salt, and everyone knows this!
However, just like this, they opened their eyes and said nonsense, but everyone appreciated the cold of the harsh winter, and only then did they know the true intention of King Xi.
"King, this year is a bumper harvest, how can food be scarce, and how can there be less salt. ”
"Lonely is less, you have a problem?"
At this moment, the tribal envoys who were originally fighting for "freedom" suddenly panicked, and everyone couldn't care about any freedom.
"You can't do this, my lord. ”
"King, every year we buy grain and salt from Xidu, how can there be a problem this year......"
The high-headed warriors have all lost their square inches, and now, how can they not know that any lack of food and salt is all nonsense by King Xi, all just to punish them for being disrespectful to King Xi.
As the so-called from simple to luxury, from luxury to thrift, there was no Xi country before, these tribes of them thrived in this land, life was very hard, the arrival of Xi country brought great changes, unconsciously they have become accustomed to the changes in life, as if everything is taken for granted.
However, at this time, King Xinxi's fluttering words gave all the tribal envoys a blow to the head, they are no longer the unrestrained sons of the jungle in the past, they have a beautiful hope, a bond, and a good life that they are unwilling to give up.
In the blink of an eye, the barbarians who were arrogant and unruly before showed jealousy and regret on their faces, and while they were arguing in their mouths, they bent more and more respectfully, and knelt more and more piously, this dramatic scene really made the people of Xidu speechless.
King Xi just whispered a few good words, but he had a strength as heavy as a thousand catties, which was really amazing.
But at this time, a person came out of the "Tribal Alliance", he was the only one who did not panic, got up at this time, and pretended to be respectful:
"King Xi, you are embarrassed, I'm afraid that the leaders of all the tribes will be unhappy, please think twice!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience changed color.
Someone actually threatened King Xi in turn!
