Volume 3 Baoling Prefecture Chapter 59 Spirit Clan Mobilization
After dealing with Jiayue, who woke up suddenly, Mu Chen returned to the corridor to wake up Lianbazan Qimu, threatening that if he dared to report truthfully after he went back, he would definitely chase him to the Beijin Department and kill him, and then asked someone to take him down, and returned to the study with Quan Yuren and Wei Gonglu to discuss other things.
"Tomorrow, the five hundred Zhan Tou Wings will be delivered, this is the fifty spirit stones promised to you, send him out of Baoling City as soon as possible, and let him continue the journey of the merchant group. While speaking, Mu Chen put a large bag of spirit stones in Quan Yuren's arms.
"But... Will he make up lies as promised?
"You have been a city lord for thirty years, and you are afraid of wolves and tigers before doing things, will he keep a secret, do you want me to go to the wasteland with him to verify?" Mu Chen was a little angry, Quan Yuren had been entangled in this matter for the past two days, no matter how he dealt with it, he had a half-believing expression. Mu Chen knew that by the time he returned to the wasteland, those slain members of the merchant group had already been resurrected, and even the memory of his trip might be erased, so there would be no situation that Quan Yuren was worried about, but Mu Chen couldn't tell them the truth, so he had to reluctantly deal with it.
"Mu Chen, I'm not..."
"Alright, that's it. Tomorrow, the Spirit Clan will appear at the south gate of Baoling City with Tho Wing and a thousand people, you pretend not to know anything, if someone wants to be tough, you can stop it. ”
Later, Mu Chen told Quan Yuren about his practice of letting Wei Gonglu spread the news, and bluntly said that he was procrastinating and he was willing to bear all the consequences.
Hearing this, Quan Yuren's face was embarrassed, he thought yesterday that Mu Chen would be with him, and everything would be discussed with him in advance, but after only one night, he understood that he had not been trusted by Mu Chen at all, what was comparable to Emperor Qi Si, it was just his wishful thinking, and Mu Chen did not accept himself at all from the bottom of his heart.
Wei Gonglu's expression, who was speechless, gradually became clearer, it was the first time he heard such a severe reprimand from Mu Chen's mouth, and in front of himself, he didn't take Quan Yuren's feelings into account at all, so that the majesty of Quan Yuren's city lord for many years disappeared in an instant. This made him dispel his doubts about what he had done, and he realized again that on the way to catch up with Mu Chen, he and Quan Yuren were still neck and neck, and even slightly ahead.
"Mu Chen, in addition to these, what else do I need to cooperate?" Quan Yuren forcibly endured the anger and loss in his heart, and replied with such a sentence, but as soon as these words came out, he took the initiative to give up the dominance and obeyed Mu Chen's orders.
"It's nothing, you can improvise, as long as you don't let the two sides fight, I'll explain the rest. After a while, you will return to the council, what awaits you should be the doubts and pressure from all walks of life, you don't have to be strong, put all the responsibility on me, if necessary, you can take the lead in questioning, don't defend me, just protect yourself. "Wei Gonglu has spread the two things according to Mu Chen's instructions, and according to the calculation of time, it should also be spread now.
Mu Chen really wanted to solve the problem of the migration of the Spirit Clan with Quan Yuren, but he knew in his heart that Quan Yuren did not have the courage and courage of his uncle Qi Emperor Quan Rongsheng, and he could only stand in front of him to protect him, otherwise he would be shaken once he encountered a problem, and immediately began to look for a solution that he thought was more secure, and he would never be able to do it consistently.
After everything was explained, Quan Yuren took Lianbazan Qimu and left the Wei Mansion angrily, Mu Chen knew that he was serious, but he couldn't control it, he didn't have the patience to continue to consume, if he waited for Quan Yuren to convince everyone, the Spirit Clan didn't know when it would move out of Spirit Tree City, and the merchant group pass to solve the problem of sisterhood had been obtained, and today I received a letter from an old friend, leaving here and visiting other state capitals is a better choice.
"Mu Chen, do you need my help with the affairs of the Spirit Clan?"
"There is nothing that humans can do with me, Quan Yuren will also do his best to excuse himself, at present, the whole city knows that I live with you, and the spearhead will definitely be the first to point at you, when the time comes..."
"The old man is not afraid of this, I don't have any foundation in Baoling Prefecture, I will leave sooner or later, if I can successfully settle the Spirit Clan, I will take the initiative to resign from my position and bear all the consequences, even if I share my worries for my friends. Wei Gonglu changed his strategy, and after thinking about it last night, he clearly realized that if he wanted to be with Mu Chen, it would not work to fight with competitors, and he should still focus on solving problems for him, the more favors he owes, the more you have the right to speak.
"Hehe, you old man is righteous, and you haven't made friends in vain. Mu Chen patted him on the shoulder and left the study.
Outside the Giant Crocodile Forest, Qiluna was about to enter the forest with the spirit rhino cocoa, she took out her torch, and just as she wanted to leave, she turned around and said, "You fly." ”
The two of them flew safely in the dark air, and one fought all the way on the ground, and finally entered Spirit Tree City smoothly.
The news of Coco and Kiruna's return soon spread throughout the town, and all the spirits went out and stood in the modest streets with their hands folded, praying for good news.
Under the escort of the chief of the guard, the elder flew down from the Elders' House, and as soon as he saw Qi Luna, he immediately struggled to get up, his eyes widened and asked, "Ambassador, why are you alone, Lord Mu Chen." ”
"Not available. ”
"Then what about our migration..."
"Tomorrow. ”
"What do you say, what do you mean tomorrow?"
"Ask her. ”
Qiluna had only said six words, and Lingxi Zhuang knew that he could not get a complete answer from her mouth, so he looked at his granddaughter, waiting for her to explain the ins and outs of the matter.
"Grandfather, Lord Mu Chen asked us to move tomorrow..."
Before the words were finished, the crowd had begun to cheer, and the long-awaited new students finally saw the light of day, they no longer had to huddle in this isolated treetop city, they no longer had to go hungry, and living in a sunny land was no longer a dream.
"Everybody's quiet, everybody's quiet... Be quiet. Coco forced the cheers and continued with a slightly sad face: "Lord Mu Chen asked us to prepare five hundred wings tomorrow, and you will personally lead a thousand clans to wait outside the gate, but the human city lord doesn't seem to be ready to accept us. ”
"Keke, what do you mean, you didn't promise to accept us, what did Lord Mu Chen let us do?"
"I don't know the specifics, and the place where the city lord promised to settle us is not in the city. ”
"It's... This... Kiruna-sama, this..."
"Do so. With that, Kiruna pushed away the crowd and left Spirit Tree City.
Lingdong Wuwu wanted to step forward to catch up, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Lingxi Zhuangzhuang, and motioned for him and Coco to carry him back to the Elders' House, and the matter still needs to be discussed.
Several respected elders also flew to the elders' house, and Coco told everyone all the things she had experienced in the past few days, and even Guo Erniu's funeral, which was not very related to the migration, she recounted it in great detail.
"Elder, according to what Coco said, if we gather more than a thousand people in front of the human city gate, will we bring panic to the other party, and if they will be wrong, it will cause a battle..."
"No, Wu Wu. From what I know of ambassadors, they won't put us in danger. ”
"But grandfather, wouldn't it be too reckless to appear as an army under the city before the humans accepted us? ”
"Didn't Lord Mu Chen tell you why he did this and how to solve it?"
"No, because of the merchant group, he has too many things to deal with, so he just explained a few words and asked Lord Qiluna to send me back. ”
"This matter... Go down, all of you, and let me think again. "Lingxi Zhuang Zhuang stayed in the elder's house alone, weighing the pros and cons.
Qiluna left Spirit Tree City and headed for Qiming Village, and when she reached the area around the ruins, she noticed that there were obvious traces of drag on the ground, and there were extinguished bonfires in the foundation of the stone houses in the village, so she immediately went to check Guo Erniu's grave.
There was nothing unusual around the cemetery, and the color of the tombstones and mounds still showed that it was a new grave, but she noticed that the soil on the mound was loose and rolling off from time to time, so she stretched out her finger to test it, and poked it into the mound with one finger. When they left, they obviously tamped the mound, how could they... Thinking of this, she took out a dagger and began to dig, and after a long time, she finally cleared a hole, and when she got in, she found that almost all the gold and silver burial goods in it were gone, and Guo Erniu's grave was stolen.
At this point, she understood why Mu Chen asked her to come to inspect, and then immediately summoned the golden dragon and flew back to Baoling City.
After an afternoon of reflection, the elders' house held a clan meeting in the evening, with almost all the leaders participating, and the elders' house was crowded to the brim.
"I declare that, according to the words of the ambassador, I am ready to spread my wings and thousands of elite people of the clan to go to the human city tomorrow. ”
As soon as these words came out, some people raised their hands and cheered, some people were full of sadness, and some bared their teeth and grinned, and they were squeezed at a loss.
"Everybody quiet... It was quiet, and all but a few of the old leaders were with me. After arriving, you are not allowed to move without my orders, you are not allowed to talk to each other, and if something unexpected happens, you are not allowed to argue with humans, you can understand it. Arrange your deployment as soon as possible after you go back and leave early tomorrow morning. ”
The decision has been made, and everyone has left, only Lingxi Coco and Lingdong Wuwu are still in the Elders' House, and they are still not at ease, afraid that this behavior is too reckless and will bring disaster to the Spirit Clan.
As soon as the two wanted to open their mouths to persuade each other, they were stopped by Ling Xi Zhuangzhuang, he said that he didn't want to argue with them anymore, if he didn't dare to gamble on the fate of the whole clan, how could he talk about change, since it was Lord Mu Chen's intention, he was willing to believe it, and he was willing to pay the price for it.
Spirit Tree City ushered in a busy scene that had not been seen in nearly a hundred years, the families took the initiative to turn in their wings, and the leaders were busy selecting personnel, they were not sure if tomorrow's trip was the right one, but a change could eventually inspire people and bring hope.
