Volume 3 Baoling Prefecture Chapter 64 Chunyue's suspicions
After sending Wei Gonglu away last night, Liu Yixian lost his sleepiness, he returned to the room and thought about it, and always felt that this matter would not be so simple to pass, so he entered the council early in the morning, explained the situation to Quan Yuren, and discussed countermeasures.
"Elder Liu, you said that Mu Chen already knew the content of our discussion yesterday afternoon, and also knew how we would deal with the Spirit Clan in the future, are you sure?" Quan Yuren didn't believe it, but just instinctively questioned it and confirmed it again.
"Wei Gonglu told me personally, what else is there to doubt about this, you just say what to do?"
"Elder Liu, there is one more thing I have to tell you, the Spirit Clan will come to the door today, if Mu Chen doesn't change his plan, they will appear outside the south gate at ten o'clock at noon. Quan Yuren saw that the matter was revealed, so he simply said it all. He has already lost his trust in Mu Chen, so it is better to use this matter to push Liu Yi to the front desk first, and put all the responsibility on him, so that he can have an excuse to explain to Mu Chen.
"Prince Ren, how many things do you still have to hide from my old man, if he Mu Chen doesn't know your plan, aren't you going to say it. ”
"Elder Liu, according to what we discussed yesterday, this is not a big deal, the Spirit Clan will come today or tomorrow, it will be okay for our plan, but in the current situation, if they really come, if Mu Chen really tears his face, this will not be able to deal with it. Quan Yuren deliberately pretended to be weak, didn't have any ideas, spread his hands, and waited for Liu Yi to speak first.
"You're so calm. In this way, just do what we said yesterday, and if he doesn't move, we won't move. If he challenges you head-on, we will have a direct showdown, tell him the truth, and give him the black market that burned down the border, and don't talk about anything else. "Liu Yixian is not the kind of character who hides, if he speaks, he is not afraid of offending anyone.
"But... This..."
"Okay, Prince Ren, don't act in front of my old man, if you don't dare, I am willing to come forward for you, and bear all the losses and responsibilities, after all, I am the leader, it is not difficult for you. ”
Quan Yuren was waiting for this sentence, but he couldn't agree immediately, so he persuaded with hypocrisy: "Old Liu, I didn't mean that, do you see if there is a gentler solution, and Mu Chen is in a head-on conflict..."
"He came to the door in a rage, you still want to settle it peacefully, how can our city lord of Baoling Prefecture be so timid. After saying this, Liu Yi threw away first.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Quan Yuren has a position above 10,000 people under one person, but he was successively accused of cowardice by Mu Chen and Liu Yixian in person, which made him angry in his chest, knocked the teacup to the ground, and secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later he would make them pay.
In the slums, the soldiers of the Wei Mansion captured the villagers of Qiming Village who had been investigated one by one, and seized a large amount of gold and silver from their bodies and residences, and then escorted them into the dungeon of the House of Parliament according to Wei Gonglu's order, waiting for their whereabouts.
Seeing the situation, Lao Chen hurriedly went to inform Quan Yuren, he was calming down in the study, and when he heard that it was Wei Gonglu who had arrested him, he guessed that this was Mu Chen's meaning, although he didn't know the specific reason, but he still told Lao Chen not to act rashly, lest Mu Chen be more hostile to himself, and then asked about the situation in Wei Mansion and asked him to pay attention to Mu Chen's movements at any time.
Wei Gonglu received the news that the villagers were arrested, and also set off to find Quan Yuren in the council, he knew his situation, since he had clearly announced to all the nobles that he was on Mu Chen's side, it was better to go directly to the door, to tell the truth, anyway, in his opinion, the matter of the migration of the Spirit Clan could not be solved completely, so he took this opportunity to show his loyalty to Mu Chen, so that Quan Yuren could no longer overcome himself.
"Lord Wei, why did you come so early in the morning, is there anything to find me?"
"Don't pretend to be confused, Old Liu should have told you, I'm here to see the villagers who were arrested just now, by the way, they dug graves and dug graves, and stole all the gold and silver in Guo Erniu's cemetery. ”
Wei Gonglu, who has always been cautious, is abnormal, it stands to reason that he has become an enemy of the nobles of Quanbaoling Prefecture, and he should have a humble attitude and act with Quan Yuren's face. But the fact is just the opposite, Wei Gonglu held his head high and came to the door with an arrogant attitude to admonish, while Quan Yuren did not say a word, his face was flushed, and he held back his anger.
"Old City Lord, you're about the Spirit Clan..."
"Lord Wei, I'm really helpless about this matter, let's discuss it when the Spirit Clan arrives at noon. ”
The two parted unhappily, Wei Gonglu went to the dungeon to check the situation of the villagers, and Quan Yuren also left the study and went to his son's full name to discuss countermeasures to make amends.
The father and son closed the door and talked for a long time, and Quan Yuren did not delve into who revealed the news, after all, so many nobles attended the meeting, and it was normal for one or two of Wei Gonglu's cronies to be mixed in. And Quan Mingde didn't admit it, he didn't want Qi Luna to misunderstand him, and he didn't want his father to look down on him again, so although he seriously participated in the discussion, he knew in his heart that Mu Chen would not trust them at all.
Under the Tree of Life adjacent to the council, Kiruna took Wei Rou's garment, nodded in gratitude, and then moved her gaze back to the fruit, waiting for it to break.
Chunyue circled around the tree, carefully counted the number of fruits, returned to her sister after the count, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are we really conceived by this tree?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I just calculated, there are only more than 70 fruits in total, and more than 30,000 of us in the Chake Division, if they are all reborn on this tree, how can they all be resurrected in just a few days, this is unlikely. "Chunyue had seen Mu Chen slaughter her entire clan, and she had also seen the tribes who came back after being resurrected, but based on the fruit of the tree of life in front of her, she didn't believe that a tree could resurrect everyone in such a short time.
"I don't know, maybe the trees in our wasteland are bigger and bigger. "Jiayue has never seen the Tree of Life, so she has to guess out of thin air.
The two stood not far away and watched back and forth for a long time, until Mu Chen came back, they turned their attention to him, Chunyue leaned over and asked, "Mu Chen, how many people do you employ in total?"
"More than 10,000 people, I don't know the exact number. ”
"More than 10,000 people were conceived by this tree, how long will it take? ”
"There is one Tree of Life in each state city, plus a total of five in the Infinite City. From the time I was born to 30 years ago, more than 10,000 people were born in five trees in the past 90 years. ”
"Is everyone's birth recorded?"
"That's not until no, the Employer Management Association only started to collect detailed statistics after the restructuring, and many employers don't remember their date of birth at all, why do you ask this?"
"There are more than 80,000 people in the wasteland, starting from the birth date of the king of the wasteland, and ending with the cessation of rebirth on both sides thirty years ago, then our wasteland has taken a total of eighty years to give birth to more than eighty thousand people, and you have only used ninety years to more than 10,000 people, if there is a detailed birth record, will you be able to find the law in it, and provide clues for unlocking your life experience. ”
"I didn't expect this, but it probably won't come in handy, we didn't have much contact with humans before, they didn't take the initiative to contact us, and they didn't let us go into the city, most of us wandered in the wilderness, we didn't have any concept of time, and many people's birth dates were guessed from memory, which was definitely not accurate. ”
"Then your resurrection records are always accurate, right?"
"The resurrection record should be accurate, and the first twenty-seven years of the resurrection must be accurate. ”
"Have you ever been reborn in large numbers in a short period of time, such as resurrecting 10,000 people in three or five days? ”
"Chunyue, what do you want to ask, how can it be possible to regenerate 10,000 people in three or five days, not to mention that we have never suffered such a big loss, just with the scale of this tree of life in front of you, do you think it is possible?"
"We've done it in the wasteland, and I've seen tens of thousands of people killed and injured in a short period of time. ”
Mu Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the two sisters, and smiled embarrassedly.
"My people were all resurrected in ten days, as we all know, no one in the wasteland has ever seen the tree of life, so they must be far away from us or very hidden, if this is the case, minus the time for the corpse to disappear, the time spent on the road, then the time for rebirth must be shorter, such a large number of rebirths in a short period of time, it can only be that the tree of life in the wasteland is larger or more numerous, but you have both visited the wasteland, if it is such an obvious target, how can you miss it, isn't this doubtful?" After seeing the appearance of the Tree of Life and the rebirth method of Dark Orange, Chunyue began to suspect that the resurrection of the wastelanders was not simple, so she asked Mu Chen for verification, hoping that he could give a convincing answer.
"I don't know about this, you will only be resurrected if you are killed by the mercenary, and the resurrection time does not vary from person to person, and you will lose your memory after being reborn, these problems..."
"I know what happened when I lost my memory. Chunyue snatched the words, ready to face the Tree of Life and discuss all the questions clearly.
"What, do you know the reason for the loss of memory?"
"Memories are tampered with, tampered with by spells cast by our leaders. ”
"Chunyue, don't talk nonsense, how could the leader do this?"
"Sister, that's really the case. I have asked many people, they will not remember Mu Chen after the resurrection, but in the face of the messy camp, the traces of the battle, and the same clan who returned one by one, they also have questions, so when everyone is in doubt, the leader will hold a meeting of the whole clan, and cast spells at the meeting, I still remember the feeling of white light surrounding, after the magic, everyone returned to calm, and the chaos in the camp was also rationalized, this is what I have seen with my own eyes, and the leader must have tampered with the memory. ”
Mu Chen and Jia Yue had never seen similar magic, but seeing that Chunyue swore and even made some angry expressions, it didn't look like they were lying, so the three people who were supposed to welcome Mo Cheng's rebirth in front of the human tree of life began to explore the secrets of the wasteland.
