Yihu Song made a look and asked his son Adaghu to pull the grieving Amo Zai out of the house.

Because the "gifts" brought by the Qin envoy to Ouyue were actually two heads pickled in lime, which were placed in the big house at the moment, and their faces had not yet decayed.

Yi Hu Song recognized that this was the monarch of the Gui Kingdom who had a blood alliance with him back then, Mona, that is, Amozai's Tebo (father), and one person, who was younger, was Amozai's eldest brother (eldest brother).

Through the door and the wall, Yi Yu Song could still hear the child's cry. The Yue people believe that the soul of a person who has been beheaded cannot cross the Rainbow Bridge and cannot return to the ancestral spirit, which is undoubtedly the most cruel way to die for them.

He took his eyes off the dead man's skull and looked at the Qin official who was wrapped in good cloth and clothes, and his shoes were still on his feet.

When this person entered the settlement all the way, he was arrogant, and was invited into the big house by the elders, and he frowned and looked at it for a long time, as if he was not satisfied with being received in such a "simple" building. At this moment, looking east and west, looking at the bare feet and tattoos of the Ouyue people, his face was full of contempt, and he also used Qin Yan to say something to the short Yue translator from time to time.

"What does that mean?"

The translator Song pointed to the two heads and asked the translator, he was a Yangyue person who had come to Ouyue with Shangjia, although they were both Yue people, but they were not the same ancestors as the 12 departments of Lingnan, but they were similar in language.

The translator knew the courage of the translator Song, but he didn't dare to be arrogant, and hurriedly said: "The official said that the ruler of Gui State had donated the land and people to Daqin and placed it as Cangwu County, but betrayed Daqin. Now that he has been corrected, but the remnants of the Gui Kingdom have fled to Ouyue, and Changsha County guards hope that Ouyue can return them to Daqin, otherwise it will ......"

Qin officials became serious, their lips under the eight-character beard were closed one by one, and their words sounded very sharp, and the translator could only say: "The official said, otherwise, these two people will be the fate of Ouyue Junchang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several "old men" wearing feather crowns in the big house looked at each other and began to discuss.

In Ouyue, although the monarch is hereditary, the daily affairs are all managed by the elders, because they are not only elders, but also sorcerers, responsible for communicating with ancestral spirits and gods.

The elders had also heard of the powerful Qin Dynasty in the north, and they were a little worried about the threat of the Qin officials.

Seeing this, the Qin official began to speak again.

The translator continued: "His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin, like the sun, shines in all directions, and wherever the boat goes, you must not disobey. ”

"Gui Guo is trying to rebel in vain, and he has been exterminated, I hope Ou Yue can make the right choice and hand over the fugitive! Otherwise, the next time you come to Ouyue to get someone, it will be the army! They will be like a herd of wild elephants stepping on a thatched hut and destroying Ouyue! ”

The threat was loud, and the timid and fearful old men were pale, they were unwilling to accept the remnants of the Gui State at the beginning, but now that Qin is coming to ask for someone, it is better to hand it over, so as not to implicate the tribe.

But at this moment, the long-patient translator Song spoke.

"For such an important matter, why don't you ask the ancestral spirit?"

……

"Don't worry, I, Tebo, will definitely protect you."

Adagu comforted his good brother who had just met, and the current situation was like a deer running into a bullpen, and the wolf followed in its footsteps, wandering outside the pen.

"Revenge."

Amozai's eyes were blood-red: "They killed me Tebo and Gotha, I must take revenge!" ”

Just then, the door to the big house opened!

The big house is a circular dry-bar building, which is the place where the Ouyue tribe deliberates, and Yihu Song was the first to come out, barefoot, but his body was covered with white ramie cloth, only for important ceremonies, he would wear it like this, and the three of them always followed behind, whispering to persuade something.

Followed by the Qin officials who showed the arrogance of the envoys of the great powers with every step, and next to them were the translators who nodded their heads.

The enemies were very red when they saw each other, and Ah Mozai touched the stone knife on his waist and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the Ouyue clansmen.

Ah Mo Zai shouted angrily: "The monarch of Ouyue, the bravest warrior of the Twelve Kingdoms, has also become a coward?" ”

"Tebo, this ......"

Adagu punched him and told him not to scream, and was about to speak, but Yihu Song was not angry, but just asked his son to come over, staring at the soldiers and merchants brought by Qin officials, like this in his ears, and then took Qin officials through the settlement.

The tattooed woman stopped and poked her head out. The hunter who had just returned looked coldly at the Qin envoy while shaving the wild boar. The naked children also looked at the group of uninvited guests with hostility, and spat on them.

The direction in which the translator Song took them was the holy place of the Ouyue people, located in the deep valley behind the settlement, and the translator said that they must ask the ancestral spirit for instructions in person, and ask the Qin officials to watch and wait.

Except for one side facing the settlement, the other three sides of the valley are either steep cliffs or primeval forests, full of twins and thousand-year-old trees, obsessive long vines and green moss.

As soon as the Qin official approached the mouth of the valley, he suddenly saw that there were dozens or hundreds of buffalo skulls hanging up and down the rock wall, some of which had completely turned into white bones, and some were still slowly rotting, emitting a strange smell.

Qin Yan pinched his nose and didn't want to go into the valley, but at this time, he couldn't help it, and the Ouyue people suddenly became rough, pushing and grabbing, and drove him and the translator inside.

The three of them wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by the hunters who only listened to the translation of the Song dialect.

"Yi Yu Song, you will bring disaster to Ouyue!"

The elders shouted at Taniguchi.

Yi Hu Song turned around, and his face became serious.

"Yi Yu Song will never betray his friends, let alone let his people be slaves."

He gave a cruel smile: "And I think the ancestral spirit will love this new sacrifice!"

……

After entering the valley, the skulls were still nailed to the stakes on both sides, but they were no longer ox heads, but ...... Head! Looking all the way, there are hundreds of Bai Sensen!

The Qin officials tried to calm down, while the Yue translator trembled, and although he was a Yangyue native of Lingbei, he had also heard of the customs of Lingnan.

The further south you go, the more barbaric it becomes.

"The South Vietnamese believed that through headhunting, the strength and courage of the deceased would be absorbed into their bodies, allowing them to gain greater power. Although Ouyue is not as keen on blood sacrifice as Nanyue, it will also hunt heads and sacrifice to the god of the field from time to time. ”

When the place arrived, Yi Hu Song touched the stone knife on his waist, stared at the rough mural of the Ouyue warrior's headhunting sacrifice on the stone wall, and his words were cold.

He was also a blood-stained warrior who hunted his head, and the time of Ouyue's head hunting was generally during the annual grain sowing or harvest season, or when the crop was poor, cutting off the heads of rival tribes, or the heads of outsiders who broke into the hunting grounds without permission.

Before planting, the seeds are taken to the place where the human head is sacrificed, and mixed with some ash from the human head, which is believed to bless the millet to grow well. After the head is hunted, it is often inserted on a bamboo pole outside the house, and a basket of charcoal is placed under the head, so that the blood of the human head drips on the charcoal, and then the charcoal ash is distributed to all households in the village and scattered in the field.

After the sowing season, the heads are brought here and placed on top of the wooden pillars to be offered to the ancestral spirits.

"Ou Yue used hundreds of human heads to sacrifice to the ancestral spirit, but now, you want to use two human heads to scare me?"

Yi Hu Song smiled contemptuously and raised his hands.

"Ancestral Spirit, Frog God, this Qin people, without permission, broke into the settlement of the Ou people, and in front of me, they wanted to take away the guests who had eaten my rice and salt, and finally, threatened the Ou people with slavery and death!"

"The dry season is coming to an end, the frogs are going to lay eggs, the trees are going to sprout, and the day is coming to plant millet! He is the best sacrifice! ”

The clansmen held down the Qin official, tore off his crown belt, exposed the white skin on his neck, and pressed it to the ground, while Yi Hu Song drew out his bronze sword and approached step by step.

The Qin official was not frightened, and he was still opening his mouth to say something.

Translator Song asked the Yang Yue translator who was trembling on the edge of the rock wall: "Is he begging for mercy?" ”

"Not a ...... begging for mercy"

The translator stammered: "He said that the territory of Great Qin is larger than a hundred Ouyue combined, and the Great Qin soldiers are many generals, and wherever the army goes, the earth shakes the mountains, and the number is so huge that it can drink all the rivers of Ouyue." Even if he is killed, His Majesty the Emperor and the county guard will avenge him, set foot on Ouyue, destroy your ancestral worship place, cut off the heads of you and your son, and turn everyone into subordinate concubines......"

Yi Song's sword blade stopped above Qin Yi's neck, and he seemed to hesitate, as if he was hesitating.

The Yue translator said in a pleading tone: "Xi'ou Jun, the Qin people can't be killed, you will bring disaster to Xi'ou and all the Yue people in Lingnan!" ”

"If the buffalo doesn't dare to fight the tiger, won't the tiger eat the cow?"

"Can a buffalo give its companion to feed the tiger and keep it safe?"

War is on the doorstep, it is a matter of time before it breaks out, rather than groveling, it is better to prepare early and let the Vietnamese people make up their minds as soon as possible.

Yi Hu Song asked two rhetorical questions in a row, and then raised his sword high.

His voice made Adagu and Ah Mozai, who rushed to the head of the Qin soldiers, boil with their blood.

"Even if the soldiers of the Qin people are denser than the leaves of the forest! More than the stones in the Li River! But my determination to resist is stronger than 100,000 mountains!! ”

Yihu Song's sword slashed hard!

……

In the thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang, in the month of mid-spring (February), after personally inspecting the "agriculture" and returning to the palace, Qin Shi Huang received an urgent report from Changsha County!

This is the third time in two months.

The earliest song is that the Yue tribe in Cangwu County was instigated by Xiou and rebelled.

But Tu Sui still has some ability, the rebellion was quelled quickly, and the second note became "The rebellion is decided, and the rebel chieftain is the leader". The fly in the ointment is that a small number of troops fled to Xi'ou, and Tu Sui has sent a suitable person, who was forced to use coercion to take advantage of it in the past, trying to get Xi'ou to return the fugitive.

But after Qin Shi Huang Kaifeng read it, he found that it was indeed the case, but it was not a good thing.

"Xi Oujun refused to return the rebel fleeers, and actually killed Qin Xingren and five soldiers, beheaded them, and returned with the corpses alone!"

Click, the song was closed, and His Majesty the Emperor's eyes narrowed, and anger flowed in his eyes.

"A small barbarian, but also dare to disrespect a big country? Since the Yue people want war, then I, give them war! ”
