Chapter 42: The Wizard Heals
Chu Jinmo is bent on taking the peaceful line, recuperating and developing production. In response to the blatant provocations of the Wuchun and other ministries, the attitude adopted was to endure what they could, in order to seek peaceful coexistence.
Wuchun and the other four tribes didn't expect that Chu Jinmo, who was named the envoy of the Yuexi Festival by the Huns, would tolerate it in every possible way, they clearly made a fuss about the armor and wanted to provoke an incident and send troops, and I returned the armor and apologized. For a while, Wuchun could not find an excuse to attack Baishui City, and Yuexi got a temporary peace.
On the boundary of the western part of the country, the Baishui City Division, the Wuchun Division, the Cangnan Division, the Ningda Division, and the Chiyue Division, the five tribes are of equal strength, and the five heroes stand side by side. Since ancient times, the law of the jungle has driven them to achieve their own goal by constantly annexing other weak tribes.
At this time, Baishui City was reluctant to clash with any other tribe that was equally powerful, because it was afraid that the two strong forces would bury hidden dangers for the Yuexi people.
At this time, the Red Moon Ministry sent an envoy to ask Chu Jinmo to ask the wizard of Baishui City to heal the disease. The wizards of Whitewater City are the best wizards in the western part of the country, and generally the nobles of other tribes will come to ask the wizards of Whitewater City to go back and heal when they are sick.
I asked, "I wonder who you are sick?" ”
The Akatsuki envoy, who was standing under His Highness, replied, "It is the brother-in-law of our Akatsuki Patriarch, Nangong Yun. I heard that the wizards of Whitewater City are famous all over the world, and many people have been cured, so the patriarch specially sent me to invite the wizards back. ”
I know very well that in this era, especially in this kind of place far away from the Central Plains, the method of curing diseases is relatively simple. The general way is to ask the gods, to ask the shaman.
All the people of Yuexi believe in this kind of god, that is, the eternal heaven of all things with spirits. Invite a sorcerer to dance the god to exorcise demons for the purpose of healing. And the most psychic wizard is from Whitewater.
Chu Jinmo said: "Since this is the case, it is important to save people, so I will send the wizard and the messenger back." ”
After the envoy left, I said to Chu Jinmo: "This is an extraordinary time, if the wizard goes, will something go wrong?" ”
Chu Jinmo pondered: "If we can cure the illness of the wife and brother of the Akatsuki Patriarch, we will be able to unite the Akatsuki Clan against Wuchun and the others, and then our strength will be greatly increased." ”
I was silent, I always felt that this matter was not so simple, I don't know what kind of disease the wife and brother of the Lu Dao patriarch had, if it can't be cured, it will be troublesome.
The witch doctor of White Water City followed the Akatsuki envoy to the Akatsuki Department to heal the disease, and practiced dancing in the camp of the Akatsuki Patriarch, but the result was not very effective, and after a period of treatment, the news came back to Akatsuki City that the wife and brother of the Akatsuki Patriarch had died.
The people of the Akatsuki tribe were very sad, why didn't the wife and brother of the Akatsuki patriarch be cured? According to the people of the Akatsuki Division, this is a very good explanation, that is, the wizards of Whitewater City did not give them proper medical treatment, because the wizards are not from the Akatsuki Division, but from Whitewater City.
And they would not suspect at all that this method of asking the gods to exorcise demons was useless, because Yuexi had always seen patients like this. It's not that this god-jumping exorcism method doesn't work, it's that the wizard doesn't use it correctly.
Therefore, after the relatives of the Akatsuki patriarch wept bitterly, they killed the wizard sent by Whitewater City. When the news reached Whitewater, it immediately aroused the anger of the people.
The status of a wizard in a clan is quite sacred, he is a person who can communicate with the immortal heaven, can communicate with the heavenly realm and the human realm, which is equivalent to the highest spiritual leader of a clan, and sometimes the influence of the wizard exceeds the tribal leader who holds real power.
The Red Moon Department killed the wizard of Whitewater City, and the people of Whitewater City are gone, we kindly let the wizard go to treat you, and your own life was summoned by the Immortal Heaven, it is his life that should be like this, and it is none of our wizards' business.
But your Red Moon Department actually killed our wizard, and this revenge is not avenged, and it is in vain.
For a while, the atmosphere in Baishui City was extremely tense, and some subordinates had even gathered troops and horses, preparing to kill the Red Moon Department and avenge the wizards of Baishui City.
Both Baishui City and the Akatsuki Department felt that they were justified, and at first it was just some small friction between the tribes, but gradually they couldn't control the situation, and the Akatsuki Department led troops to attack.
After Chu Jinmo's recuperation and recuperation, Baishui City's strategy to enrich the people, and my strategy to collect iron tools to strengthen the army, Baishui City's strength is by no means below any tribe in the west of Yuexi.
This time, Chu Jinmo sent Qinnan to lead the troops to resist the enemy, and Qinnan lived up to expectations and defeated the Chiyue Division. Unexpectedly, soon the Akatsuki Department made a comeback, but the result was that he lost people again and was beaten back by Qinnan again.
After two defeats, the Red Moon Department finally knew that Baishui City was not what it used to be, and it could not be defeated, so it decided to come soft, sent an envoy to negotiate and surrender with Chu Jinmo, and invited Chu Jinmo to go to the Red Moon Department to accept the submission of the patriarch.
After listening to Helian Rui's report, I shook my head again and again: "This is Chiyue's plan, if Chu Jinmo goes, won't he be detained?" ”
Helian Rui was surprised: "Akatsuki would be so despicable? But I heard that King Chu has agreed to go to Chiyue to negotiate peace! ”
"What!" My body shook violently, I stood up suddenly, and hurriedly went to find Chu Jinmo.
When I found Chu Jinmo, he was talking to Qin Nan. After I entered, Qin Nan retreated knowingly, leaving me and Chu Jinmo alone.
"I heard you're going to the Akatsuki Ministry to negotiate peace?" I asked without waiting to sit down.
"You're coming to the nail on the ground so quickly?"
I hurriedly persuaded, "No, the Akatsuki Department is uneasy and kind." ”
Chu Jin's ink-like eyes shot out hot feelings: "Are you worried about me?" ”
My heart was suffocated, and I subconsciously shook my head, raised my head and bumped into his bottomless dark eyes, and finally nodded slowly.
A smile escaped from Chu Jinmo's handsome face: "For you to worry about me, I will also come back safe and sound." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Now the strongest in Yuexi is not only Baishui City, but also Wuchun, Cangnan, Ningda and Chiyue. ”
"Among them, Wu Chun and the other three listened to the instigation of Uncle Wang Chu Xuandi, and they have always been at odds with Baishui City. Only the Akatsuki Department remains neutral, and neither side helps. If we can win over the Akatsuki Department this time, we will have one more friend, and we will have one less enemy, so I must go. ”
"Do you have to go?"
"Yes!"
I gritted my teeth: "Okay, after you go, I will definitely wait for you to come back safely in Whitewater City." ”
Not long after Chu Jinmo went to the Red Moon Ministry, bad news came back, and the Red Moon Ministry, as I expected, reversed itself and detained Chu Jinmo despicably in the name of negotiation and deception.
Chu Jinmo didn't know life and death, and the soldiers and civilians of Baishui City were furious, and decided to fight to the death with the Red Moon Tribe. Qin Nan came to me and asked to lead the troops to rescue Chu Jinmo.
I said to Qinnan, "General, you have to stay in Whitewater City. If you leave Whitewater City at this time, then if Wuchun takes the opportunity to lead the crowd to sneak attack, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Qin Nan's feminine face seemed to be twisted into a ball: "Although the king and I are the main servants, they treat me like brothers, and I must save him!" ”
I shook my head: "You stay and defend the city!" ”
Qin Nan jerked his head up and shot me straight into the eye: "Mulan, what do you mean?" Now that the king is in the hands of thieves, he doesn't know life and death, and you still let me sit and wait to be killed, what are your intentions? ”
I said lightly: "General, what do you think I have in mind?" ”
Qin Nan looked at me and said word by word: "You are a Han person, not my race, and your heart will be different!" ”
Helian Rui, who was standing on the side, shouted loudly: "General Qin, how can you doubt the master!" How many things has the master done for Whitewater City, which one is not for the good of Whitewater City! ”
Qin Nan said: "Then how to explain that she refuses to let me save the king!" ”
"That's because..."Helian Rui still has to quarrel with Qinnan.
I raised my voice to stop: "Helian Rui, you stand down!" ”。 Helian Rui held back his anger and retreated, still glaring at Qin Nan with wide eyes in indignation.
I walked up to Qin Nan and said softly: "General, I need you to stay in Baishui City, because this is the foundation of the Chu family, and it is the capital that Chu Jinmo has worked so hard to save. Wuchun is surrounded by strong enemies and dangers, how can you leave now? ”
Qin Nan snorted coldly, and a mocking look appeared on her fair face: "Then what do you say!" Let me ignore the life and death of the king! ”
I said solemnly: "Since Chiyue dares to detain Chu Jinmo, he must be ready to fight to the death with Baishui City. I plan to lead a small group of men and horses to sneak into Chiyue to rescue Chu Jinmo. ”
Qin Nan looked at me in disbelief: "Mulan, you... You're going to go in person? ”
I nodded slowly: "If I don't rescue Chu Jinmo, I will never go back to Baishui City!" ”
Qin Nan's body shook, and he fell over and bowed: "In a hurry just now, my words are so offensive, please don't be surprised!" ”
I helped Qin Nan up: "I want you to pick out the ten best dead soldiers, this time I want top-notch talents, follow me to Akatsuki to rescue Jinmo!" ”
"Ten?" Qin Nan wondered: "It's too little!"
I said: "I use these ten soldiers to form a special forces team, surprises, too many people are bad things, sometimes a small detail can destroy the entire plan." ”
Qin Nan was still confused: "Special forces? What is that? ”
I don't explain it, but a bold plan arose in my mind. Use the tactics of the future special forces in the frontier land of 2,000 years ago.
I said to Qin Nan: "Please stay in Baishui City, wait for me to rescue Chu Jinmo, and the general will immediately lead the crowd to break the queen." ”
Chu Jinmo is like a relative and a friend to me, we support each other, help each other, rely on each other to survive in this war-torn era, I must not let him die at the hands of the enemy.
Dahan and Huo Quai's illness is like the last century for me. And after I chose to leave Huo Quai, I could only walk forward blindfolded.
Forward, can't retreat, can't take a single step!
Although it is difficult, I will go!
From his troops, Jean Nam selected ten of the best fighters for me. I took ten warriors and Helian Rui, disguised as a spice merchant, and went to the Red Moon Department to rescue Chu Jinmo.
