Chapter 096: Attitude
Najib Prefecture is a prosaic and monotonous southern Xinjiang city that has always been under the control of the Yi tribe.
Due to its proximity to the mountains, most of the people here rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the overall situation is not rich, but they do not go hungry in winter.
The Tusi county guard of Naji Prefecture is a member of the Yi ethnic group and was appointed by Rocle at the beginning, so basically all affairs are decided by the Yi patriarch.
The news of the imminent arrival of the Divine Envoy has made the city lively in recent days, after all, the opportunity to meet the legendary Divine Envoy is still very tempting for the mountain people who believe in the gods.
Only the Rocle father and son sat in the county guard mansion and fidgeted, and some rumors that came out of nowhere recently greatly affected the prestige of the Rocle father and son in the entire Yi people.
It is rumored by many people outside that the Rocle father and son have been abandoned by the witch god, and because they have believed in the dark demon god, they have committed all kinds of blasphemous crimes.
Fortunately, Rochle has served as the patriarch of the Yi nationality for many years, and he still retains a certain prestige, and after strong pressure, these rumors have finally been suppressed.
However, the priests of the Yi tribe remained surprisingly silent on the matter, and Rochle asked to see the high priest several times, but the high priest refused his request to meet him.
This is not a good sign, although he can keep the position of patriarch for the time being, but God knows when these priests will go crazy.
Saying that they really believe in the demon god, wouldn't the people of the Yi tribe be able to tear their father and son apart.
While Rochler was grieving, Xu Fusheng and his guards had arrived in Najib.
Outside the city gate of Najib State, Xu Fusheng was stopped by the soldiers defending the city.
He brought too many people, four hundred shadow guards, a thousand guards, so many people into the city was enough to start a small war.
It wasn't until Xu Fusheng revealed his identity that the soldiers guarding the city opened their mouths in surprise, they didn't expect the divine envoy to come to Najib Prefecture so soon.
One of the soldiers, who seemed to be quite clever, had not yet been completely carried away by the oracle, and almost rushed to report the news.
Xu Fusheng was not in a hurry, he was sitting in the carriage and waited quietly, and the guards behind him were all lined up, guarding the divine envoy.
After a short time, the priests of the city and almost all the officials of the city rushed to hear the news, except for the Rocle father and son and the Tusi county guard who did not appear in the crowd.
Dressed in dark green priests' robes, he gladly accepted the prostrations of these people, and one of the older priests said excitedly, "Your Excellency, may I ask if you have any oracles for coming to Najib this time?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally chaotic city gate instantly fell silent, waiting for the answer of the divine envoy.
Xu Fusheng smiled like a spring breeze and said: "I came with the will of the witch god this time, I heard that some leaders of the Yi tribe have turned their backs on the witch god, and the god said that turning his back on him should be punished." ”
The city gate was crowded with people, and when they heard Xu Fusheng's words, they were immediately surprised and discussed.
"Oh my God, it's true, someone really turned their backs on the witch god. ”
"Who are they, are they in the city of Najib?"
The old priest trembled and said, "Lord God, it is true that betraying the faith of God should be punished, but how can we know who has turned away from the witch god?"
A circle of milky white light poured out of Xu Fusheng's body, and he said indifferently: "The witch god will tell us! God said that those who believe in him will be guided by him." ”
Recently, he has mastered the flashy light of condensing the vitality of heaven and earth, and after pretending to be for a long time, Xu Fusheng sometimes feels that he has really become the spokesman of God.
After all, the city gate is not a place for long talks, everyone greeted Xu Fusheng into the city, and his guards naturally had already arranged for camping.
It wasn't until the group walked to the county guard's mansion that the gloomy face of Rocle's father and son walked out with the county guard.
Seeing Xu Fusheng's triumphant expression, although Rochler was annoyed, he still saluted: "I've seen the horse master." ”
Xu Fusheng didn't pay attention to him, nor did he care about his flushed face, but walked straight inside.
The furnishings of the county guard mansion all follow the unique style of southern Xinjiang, which is heavy, simple and sturdy.
The huge bluestone in the hall is exposed, and some unique totems of southern Xinjiang are simply painted.
Rocle was the patriarch of the clan after all, and his anger had just surged, and he immediately suppressed it.
As the master, he spoke again: "Horse, why did you come to Najib this time?"
Xu Fusheng glanced at him lightly, looked at the surrounding arrangement, and slowly said, "I came this time with the will of the witch god.
I've heard that there are blasphemers here, and I guess Patriarch Luo has heard about them too. ”
After speaking, he swept Rob with great meaning, smiling.
Hearing Xu Fusheng's words, Rocler's father and son's hearts jumped, but they still asked quietly: "May I ask the blasphemer that the divine envoy said, can the witch god show me?"
Xu Fusheng smiled slightly, nodded mysteriously, and said, "Of course, the witch god is omnipotent. ”
Rochler nervously continued to ask, "Can the divine envoy make it clear that I will send someone to find them now?" ”
Xu Fusheng still waved his hand warmly and said, "Patriarch Luo, don't be anxious, the witch god will give us guidance." ”
After speaking, Xu Fusheng looked at the priest of the Yi tribe and said, "Respected elder, can you take me to see this small city?"
Maybe the blasphemers are doing something to destroy the evidence right now. ”
"Yes!" replied the priest with a respectful face.
The priest left with Xu Fusheng and the others, and only Rocler's father and son were left in the hall.
Rob said with a gloomy face: "Father, now that the colt has become a divine envoy, he will definitely not let us go."
Why don't you take advantage of the fact that he has just arrived in Najib and has not yet gained a firm foothold?" he made a cross-cutting gesture as he spoke.
Rocle also looked gloomy, shook his head a little hesitantly, and said, "Now that he has become a divine envoy, we can't move."
Besides, there are so many people around him who are close to him, and without the cooperation of the priests, how can we be unaware.
Unless..."
As soon as Rob saw that his father was no longer talking, he immediately asked anxiously, "Unless what?"
Rocle glanced at his son meaningfully, and Rob's heart was racing, and he immediately reacted, opening his mouth wide and saying, "Unless the Yi army is used." ”
At this point, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent, and the use of a large army would mean that the Yi people would officially divide southern Xinjiang.
Not to mention the current situation, whether the army can be raised or not, a single divine envoy may make many people no longer stand on the side of Rochler and his son.
The father and son pondered for a long time, and finally Rocle sighed and said slowly, "I'll go to find the master tonight."
Bul is to go out of the city overnight, return to the mountain city, and capture the army that you can control, but remember not to let the priests know.
After that, we will send people to contact the Zhuang, Dong and other ethnic groups, and if there is a disturbance among the Yi people, they will respond with us.
Prepare for the worst in advance, if I can't reach an agreement with the horses, you will lead your troops into Najib State.
This is the worst outcome, and we must not act rashly unless we have to, otherwise we will become sinners in southern Xinjiang for the ages. ”
Rob looked at his father's old face, clasped his hands tightly, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and nodded angrily: "I'll go now." It's just that... Father..."
Rochler shook his head and said, "His identity is not what it used to be, and if he bows his head in exchange for forgiveness, it is worth it." At least we won't be abandoned by the witch gods. ”
Rob opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak again, and turned to leave.
As soon as Rob left Najib State, the news reached the ears of Xu Fusheng, who was accompanying the priest to install a magic stick.
Xu Fusheng only bowed slightly, and whispered to Feng Ling'er: "Just send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of their father and son, and everything will go according to the original plan." ”
When Xu Fusheng accompanied the priest to the three main streets of Najib State, Rochle appeared on the corner.
Dressed in a gorgeous costume, Rocle bowed to Xu Fusheng very humbly and said, "Rocle of the Yi nationality has seen the divine envoy, and the dinner has been prepared for the adult, so I have come to invite the lord to move." ”
Xu Fusheng looked at Rockeler in surprise, and after a little pondering, he understood what Roccle's meant.
Xu Fusheng, who had a weird smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay, then Xu will be disrespectful." ”
The cuisine of Najib is very monotonous, mainly based on a variety of meats, and there are few light dishes. Wine is spirits, and meat is also half-cooked meat.
Xu Fusheng didn't care, the cuisine of the entire southern Xinjiang was like this, not that Rochler was deliberately contemptuous.
During the banquet, Rocle said tentatively: "Lord Divine Envoy, have you found the person who turned his back on the witch god you said today?"
The Yi people are willing to fully cooperate with the divine envoy, as long as you send, my Yi nationality is willing to serve the divine envoy as a dog and horse. ”
Roqueler's words are Chiguoguo's expression of heart, Xu Fusheng, who has roughly understood Roqueler's thoughts, bowed his head slightly, and said incomprehensibly:
"For the blasphemer, the witch god has already shown it, but the time is not yet ripe, if there is a need, it is natural to bother the Luo patriarch to help. ”
Rocle stared at Xu Fusheng's eyes, but he couldn't see the true thoughts of the divine envoy from his calm eyes.
He sighed in his heart, and said quietly on the surface: "All the people of the Yi clan will be the most loyal supporters of the Divine Envoy, and Rocle can swear in the name of the witch god." ”
Xu Fusheng tasted a piece of beef that still had blood stains, and nodded with great satisfaction: "I naturally believe in the beliefs of the Yi people. ”
After a lukewarm banquet, Xu Fusheng Shi Ran got up and was led to rest.
Rochler looked at Xu Fusheng's departing figure, hesitating in his heart, thinking about whether it was necessary to verify it again.
He has shown great sincerity, and the allegiance of the Yi people is believed to be more valuable than any gift.
Walking on the way back to the room, Xu Fusheng frowned slightly and said, "Hui Yu, you go to do that thing tonight."
At the same time, they informed Kramu and Meilan that I wanted the Zhuang and Qiang armies to assemble in Najib Prefecture as soon as possible. ”
Lin Huiyu was puzzled: "Rochler has already shown such great sincerity, do we still have to do it?"
Xu Fusheng frowned and said, "First, I don't particularly believe in Rochler's attitude;
Second, even if the Rochler father and son really had the heart to be loyal to me, I had no intention of sparing them.
Bai Er will not die in vain, I must show the people of the entire southern Xinjiang the consequences of offending me, the oracle.
In this way, we can have the desired deterrent effect for our next plan. ”
Lin Huiyu wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Fusheng waved his hand and said: "I know what you are worried about, even if the Yi people resist again, this time it will be doomed to the death of Rochler's father and son."
Besides, there is no chaos in southern Xinjiang, how can we have a chance to get what we want. ”
