Chapter 18: Why?

After Mu Yubai knew that Baiyuegou and Zhaojiapo were inhabited by villagers, he had a question in his heart.

As the border of the Dasheng Dynasty, why are there no large troops stationed near Zhaojiapo and Baiyuegou? If there is no army stationed, why would the village be located two days away from Wucheng in Anxian County?

Once Rong Di comes to commit crimes, won't they be led by the dog every minute?

Why?!

Mu Yubai couldn't figure it out, so he directly asked the confusion in his heart.

"It's a piece of history from 100 years ago." Duan Ang was a little confused, this question had to be answered, but he had to waste his tongue.

"You make a long story short." Mu Yubai originally wanted to ask Qi Yuan this question, but now that she was grabbing Duan Ang, she simply asked it together.

"More than a hundred years ago, the territory of Dasheng was not so magnificent, Baiyuegou and Zhaojiapo did not belong to Dasheng, but a small clan called the Yue clan, and they came to graze regularly every year. Although the Yueshi are nomadic people, they have never intervened in the dispute between Rong Di and Dasheng, and their ancestors have been living a comfortable life of herding horses and sheep on this grassland. But a hundred years ago, the then Rongdi Khan Keg suddenly attacked the Yueshi and attempted to annex the Yueshi. The Yue clan did not want to be annexed but could not withstand the attack of Rong Di, so they fled all the way south and asked Dasheng for help. Duan Ang flicked the fan and gently shook the paper fan to tell the story of the past a hundred years ago.

Bai Lishan stared at Mu Yubai, and Mu Yubai threw himself into the past.

No one paid attention to Qi Yuan, and the young man's lowered eyes were full of resentment.

"And then?" Mu Yubai asked, she hated Duan Ang's style of getting stuck in the middle of the story, if it weren't for the conditions, she really wanted to make him a meal now: "Don't sell it, say it quickly!" ”

"Before Rong Di attacked the Yue Clan, Dasheng had sent an envoy to hope that the Yue Clan would submit to my Dasheng and become a vassal state of the Dasheng Dynasty. This proposal was rejected by the patriarch of the Yue clan at the time, and when the Yue clan asked for help from Dasheng, the proposal to make the Yue clan become Dasheng was again proposed by the prime minister at the time, but the Yue clan still did not agree. ”

"And later?" Mu Yubai's heart was like being crushed by a big stone, very heavy and heavy, and she felt that she had guessed a little bit about what the ending of the Yue clan would be.

"In the end, the Yue clan was besieged by Rong Di in the area of Baiyuegou Zhaojiapo, just before the Yue clan Manchu was slaughtered, the Anxian guard at that time could not bear the extermination of the Yue clan, and sent troops to repel Rong Di without authorization, rescued some of the Yue clan's widows, and helped them settle down here. But after that, the Yue clan was still unwilling to surrender to Dasheng, and Yingzong, who was reigning at that time, appreciated the Yue's integrity, so that the Yue clan was left with few left, and the lonely old man who was no longer able to nomadize in the vast grassland, settled in Baiyuegou in Zhaojiapo, and promised that they still did not belong to Dasheng, but were only tenants of the Dasheng Dynasty. ”

Although it is a tenant, since then, there is no longer the family emblem of the Yue clan on the territory of this vast continent, and this tribe has also been erased from the long river of history.

Hearing this, Mu Yubai couldn't help but peek at Qi Yuan, the boy lowered his head, and she couldn't see her expression clearly. But from the clenched fists and the bruised tendons on his neck, it is not difficult to see that he is forbearing.

There are still many questions in his heart, but Mu Yubai is not ready to ask. She felt that every word in those questions was a knife that would poke the sunny boy all over his body.

That's cruel.

"I'm hungry......" Mu Yubai interrupted Duan Ang, who wanted to continue, strode to Qi Yuan's side, and said softly: "Xiao Yuan, you go and help me find Han It's good, let him put you, me and Ah Shan's dinner under that crooked neck tree, and we'll eat in a while, okay?" ”

Qi Yuan lowered his head and didn't speak, just nodded vigorously, then turned around and left.

"Why, Miss Mu won't let me eat?" Duan Ang was a little unhappy in his heart, who would tell her so much without him?

"Why should I eat with you?" Mu Yubai looked Duan Ang up and down with disgust, and when he spoke to Qi Yuan, his soft tone instantly raised: "Who are you and me?" ”

"You!" Never been questioned like this by the girl, Duan Ang was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.

"Ah Shan, let's go~" Mu Yubai didn't give Duan Ang a chance to react, and dragged Bai Lishan in the direction of the crooked neck tree.

After walking for a while, making sure that Duan Ang could no longer hear the conversation between the two, Mu Yubai let go of Bai Lishan, slowed down his pace, and said in a dull tone: "Now that the Rong Di army has been overwhelmed, what should the descendants of the Yue clan who live there do?" ”

"I don't know ......" Bai Lishan knew Qi Yuan's life experience, and he also knew that Mu Yubai was deliberately supporting Qi Yuan just now.

He also didn't want to think about what would happen to the Yue clan if Rong Di came to commit this time.

"Don't you know?" Mu Yubai suddenly felt a little stuffy in her chest, as if a big stone was pressing on it, even if she was breathing desperately, she still couldn't breathe well.

Feeling that he would be crushed to death by this big stone, Mu Yubai took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, skillfully pulled out one, lit it for himself, took a hard breath, and then spit it out for a long time.

Immediately, she extinguished the remaining half of the smoke on the dark armor on Bai Lishan's chest, and roared with a hideous expression: "The people of the Yue clan came to your military camp and fought for you, and now you don't know the safety of their family!" You TM are still not people, Lao Tzu is blind and will actually help you fight?! It's better to hang yourself on that crooked-necked tree now! Mu Yubai roared, she swung her fist and smashed it at Bai Lishan with all her strength, but her hand was stopped by the man halfway.

"It is impossible for the Yueshi people to enter the Dasheng army." Bai Lishan looked condescendingly at the woman who suddenly went berserk, staring at her with the color of a wolf: "Unless he hides his identity." ”

"What did you say?" Mu Yubai didn't believe what he heard, it was impossible for the Yue clan people to enter the Dasheng army?

"Our army has made it clear that no Gentile shall be allowed to enlist. I believe that not only our army, but also the army in the girl's hometown should be like this. Bai Lishan's voice was as thick as a mountain and as cold as ice, making Mu Yubai's soaring firepower value to the extreme gradually cool down.

Seeing that Mu Yubai gradually calmed down, Bai Lishan let go of the hand that was holding her, took a step back, and left room for the distance between the two who were originally close, and continued: "Now Qi Yuan's identity is only known to me, until I find out the true purpose of his infiltration into our army, you don't want him to die, it's best not to reveal his identity to anyone in the barracks." ”

"Why don't you make his identity public?" Mu Yubai looked up at Bai Lishan, her tearful eyes full of doubts.

Why? Mu Yubai's questioning made Bai Lishan stunned in place.

That's right...... Why? When he heard that Qi Yuan was from Baiyuegou, shouldn't he have taken him down, how could he keep him until now?

Why? Bai Lishan frowned and glared back at Mu Yubai: "Because it's a life." ”
