Volume 2 Tragic Song Chapter 169 The Wise Man
Zhemu shook his head slowly, he looked at Xiao Jinxing and smiled slightly:
"Mr. Xiao, do you think the current Guannai countries are oppressed?
Have the people who have done those cruel deeds diminished because they have driven us out? ”
Xiao Jinxing was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately thought of the injustice he had suffered and the faces of Xiao Zishuo and other nobles in his mind.
Moreover, the legendary barbarian evil deeds mentioned by Fang Cai Zhemu are not doing a little less now.
Land annexation, forcing good people to become prostitutes, bullying the market, bullying men and women, aren't these things the normal state of the current aristocracy bullying the common people?
For example, Qin Lan, Xia Zhong, and Hexi, which county is not a nobleman who controls the land, and the cloth clothes are attached to their families to make cattle and horses for them.
Those slaves will be killed at every turn, and the government will ignore it as the private property of the aristocracy, not to mention that both Zhou Law and Qin Law have a saying that they can't punish doctors.
But since you can become a nobleman, which one will be lower than the doctor's knighthood.
What is the qualitative difference between this cannibalistic moment and the barbarian rule back then?
"I understand, the current aristocracy is the existence of the barbarian tribe back then, they control the power of the world, so that more cloth clothes and Shu people can only rely on their noses and tremble in humiliation.
It's just that maybe the contradictions caused by the eight parts of the year were deeper because of their bloodlines. ”
Zhemu nodded lightly and smiled, affirming Xiao Jinxing's thoughts, and then said slowly:
"According to the legend of our people, after the flood receded, the survivors came down from the holy mountain, Qinlan, Sumeru, Kunlun and other mountains to find land where they could survive.
Those who came to the grassland and those who went to the plains east of Qinlan and Sumeru gradually merged together and became two major races.
For some reason, the people who came to the steppe were obviously better suited to war than those who entered the pass, they were physically victorious, fierce and aggressive, and better suited to survive in a land full of wild beasts and savages.
Therefore, they originally lived unfettered on this grassland, and had no intention of going eastward.
Until the appearance of those creeping people.
Except for their royal looks, the rest of the worms are the same as you saw yesterday, some of them have snake heads, some beast heads, and some of them can soar into the sky.
Their presence caused panic among the people who lived on the steppe, because the creeps were too tough.
As you experienced yesterday, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the three of them would have been able to slaughter all of us, let alone line up for battle.
Seven hundred years ago, Shan Yu, the supreme man of the grassland, unified Guanwai for the first time, and he gathered a million warriors to set out from Dragon City to the west to find the nest of the worms, but he encountered an ambush by the worms in Mohe Yanmo, the land of eight miles of quicksand.
There is not one in ten of the millions of people who can come back, and even Shan Yu is nowhere to be found.
Mr. Xiao, do you know what has become of the warriors who came back that year? ”
Xiao Jinxing frowned and shook his head when he saw Zhemu asking him again, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of Ayi'er, who had been by his side for the past five years, so his heart suddenly trembled.
But where could Zhemu think of Xiao Jinxing's thoughts, and when he saw Xiao Jinxing shaking his head, he continued:
"They come back festering all over, and in a few years they will have nothing flat and unmarked like yesterday's wriggling skin, and after the last few years, most of them will be skinny and broken.
Therefore, since the first battle of Mohe Yanmo, my eight tribes have shifted their attention to the east of Qin Lan and Sumeru, and what is going on
You know that, too.
At that time, the people of the East were still scattered sand, and where would the grazing cattle and sheep be the opponent of the herds of wild wolves in the West.
However, within a decade or two, I entered the East in eight divisions, until I was driven back by Yao Jun a hundred years later.
If it weren't for the birth of the Great Witch himself, I'm afraid that all my eight clans would have been wiped out, and the people in your pass would have lived for a short time under the invasion of the worms later. ”
Zhemu said a lot in one breath, until his mouth was dry and he couldn't say it anymore.
And Xiao Jinxing's heart suddenly appeared a beautiful figure, although she was ugly but kind-hearted.
"Ayi'er, what do you have to do with the Wrigls?"
"Patriarch, the people of your eight tribes together will not be the opponent of the worms, but they have never suffered a catastrophe in the past five hundred years.
You said that Yao Jun went to a place at the invitation of the Great Witch, and when he returned, he acquiesced to allowing you to invade the Qin State to obtain supplies.
So, Xiao Jinxing wanted to know, why?
Why have you survived the threat of the Worms?
Why would Yao Jun pin his hopes for defending against the Wriggling on you?
Yesterday, I designed to kill a worm so I could kill the second and third.
If I can do this, then there must be others in the world who can do it, and if I prepare like this, how can there be thousands of people in the world who don't have the courage to fight the creep.
Why would Yao Jun rather sacrifice the lives of his own people than pin his hopes on you. ”
Xiao Jinxing's eyes were red, and he asked Zhemu loudly.
It's just that in Zhemu's eyes, Xiao Jinxing is more like questioning his totem, questioning Yao Jun, who he has always believed in and never doubted.
Suddenly, Xiao Jinxing seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened, looking at Zhemu's face full of shock.
He thought of the answer, the answer to the question that he had just thought of himself.
But this answer is a little too simple, so simple that I can't believe it at all, this is the answer.
"Holy Maiden?"
Xiao Jinxing asked hesitantly, casting an expectant look at Zhemu as he asked.
He was expecting Jemu to reject his speculation, expecting even another, more brutal answer.
In Zhemu's nod, Xiao Jinxing's eyes gradually dimmed.
"Mr. Xiao, five years ago, you saved the lives of the next generation of saints, that is, you saved the lives of millions of people in the eight tribes of my Xia clan.
Although the matter of the saint is also a secret of the clan, there are still many people who know about it, after all, if there is no sacrifice of the saints of the past five hundred years, I am afraid that no one will survive.
So, I think Changshengtian chose you for his reasons.
Mr. Xiao, although Yao Jun was the enemy who almost caused the destruction of our Xia Clan's eight tribes, none of us have ever been full of resentment towards her, do you know why?
Because, Yao Jun is a real wise man.
So, I hope you will be able to be a wise man too. ”
……
When Xiao Jinxing got up and left the patriarch's yurt in a trance, he smiled bitterly again at the rising sun and sighed again.
In fact, ignorance can lead to fearlessness, and fearlessness can reduce the burden in your heart and live a more stable and peaceful life.
But the presence of the worm man made it impossible for him to be fearless and calm anymore.
When Xiao Jinxing learned from Zhe Mu that the reason why the worms were difficult to kill was not only because of their strong combat power, but also because they had always been unaware of ghosts, he put his own plan in his heart
The zoning was completely overturned.
Xiao Jinxing walked towards his yurt, thinking carefully about yesterday's events and the reason why the worms appeared in the tribe with great fanfare.
They must have done it on purpose to draw out the people of the tribe and cause chaos in the tribe.
And the only one in the tribe who can make the worms interested is the saint Xin'er.
But Xin'er was safe and sound, and she hadn't seen the worms after she went to the north of the tribe, which interrupted Xiao Jinxing's thoughts, and he couldn't guess their intentions.
But there is only one thing that Xiao Jinxing thinks clearly, no matter what happens in the future, he will protect Xin'er from putting her in danger.
What he said to Zhezhe that day is still clearly remembered in my heart, and some things can still be changed.
Even though he only fully understood the meaning of the Holy Maiden's sacrifice to this day, it was not just an ancient sacrificial tradition, but the only antidote to save the lives of millions of barbarians.
But what difference does that make for yourself?
All he cares about is Xin'er, as long as she saves her, he doesn't care so much about the life and death of other people.
"Squeak."
Xiao Jinxing pushed open the door of his yurt, he looked at the fire in the yurt, and suddenly sat down slowly with his head in his hands.
"You seem to be embarrassed,
Did the patriarch say something that made you embarrassed? ”
For five years, the gentle voice, which seemed to be eternal, came from the door of the yurt to the fire.
Ayi'er sat down and looked at Xiao Jinxing seriously.
There was endless concern and a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
Xiao Jinxing took his hand off his face.
"Where's Xin'er?"
She took her puppy and went to play with it.
Xiao Gongzi, what's wrong with you? ”
Ayi'er hurriedly answered Xiao Jin's question, still asking him anxiously.
"Ayi'er, tell me about the Holy Maiden, I want to know all the things and not the things that everyone else knows."
Xiao Jinxing suddenly said to Ayi'er with red eyes.
Although his voice was small, the attitude expressed in it was very resolute.
This was the first time Xiao Jinxing had spoken to Ayi'er in such a tone in five years, so when Ayi'er heard it, she was stunned for a moment as if she was thinking about something, and she was stunned by the fire.
In the dimly lit yurt, the two people, who were quiet with the firelight, sat quietly by the fire, thinking about their own things.
"Don't push me.
Wouldn't it be nice to live in peace and quiet? ”
Ayi'er finally couldn't bear it, and suddenly said in a trembling voice, and after finishing speaking, she covered her face with her hands, and actually sobbed and cried.
"Ayi'er, I also want to live a peaceful life, I also want to be with you and Xin'er until I grow old, I also want to have everything I have lost, and I fantasize about making amends on the two of you, but is this done?
I thought that the saint was for a sacrifice, just a sacrifice, so I thought that when the sacrifice was about to be made, I would rescue Xin'er from the grassland.
I have been planning for this idea for five years, and I have been thinking about how to save Xin'er every day and night.
But when I was confident in saving Xin'er, I was told that if Xin'er didn't marry the Worm King, the eight barbarian tribes would be wiped out.
And this has been going on for at least five or six hundred years.
Ayi'er, you say, how can I still live a peaceful life?
I just want to find a way to save Xin'er as soon as possible.
She and you are the only relatives of my Xiao Jinxing in this world. ”
