Chapter 111: Beiyi Emerges
The rush was as boring as ever, but unlike when Lin Tian came, the return trip was more lively. Halfway through, Ghost Face parted ways with Lin Tian because he still had to attract the attention of the people in the capital and rescue his other companions.
In the same way as Lin Tian and them went out of the city, they also mixed up 6 subordinates of Ghost Face, and these 6 were all elite personnel in the Ghost Face organization. They plan to make a big deal in nearby towns, so that they can get the attention of the capital, so that the capital will think that Ghostface and the others have escaped, so that the capital will relax so that the others can come out.
As for what the ghost faces did they do, Lin Tian didn't want to know, and he didn't want to know, Lin Tian didn't think he could help in this regard. Lin Tian calculated, the return journey would probably take more than two months, or even longer, because there were still old people and children in the team this time, and it was impossible to go too fast.
The ghost face of the coachman left, so the old man and Xiao Xiuyuan both came in the car driven by Daru, Lin Tian consciously gave up his position and got out of the car to sit with Daru. Presumably exposed to the wind and sun, Lin Tian preferred to sit in the driver's seat and ride on horseback. Lin Tian had only been on horseback for half a day, and he was about to die.
Lin Tian was not used to riding horses for a long time, but Lin Tian knew that he needed to learn this skill. In this world, horses are the most common and fastest means of transportation. So every day, Lin Tian only rode for half a day, and then he did it next to Dalu to slow down. Lin Tian believes that after a long time, he will get used to it.
Although the carriage is not big enough, fortunately they are not large, and they can accommodate the four of them in a row of twos and twos, but it is unlikely that there will be any big activities in the carriage.
On this day, Lin Tian continued to practice on horseback as usual, walking side by side with Lan Zi'an and Lu Qianqian.
"Brother Lin, tell us what the land is like! Our brothers and sisters still have to prepare in advance, so as not to make jokes when they get there. ”
The rush was boring, but fortunately, there were enough people on the return trip, and the team was lively. Outside the car, inside the car will also be talking. Except for Lin Tian. The rest of the people, except for Wu Yao and Daru, were interested in the topic of Yidi.
Inside the car is Wu Yao, and outside the car is Lin Tian, and what the two talk about the most is the customs and customs of Yidi. In fact, Yidi is far less prosperous than the southern countries, but Yidi has a unique characteristic.
Its unique social structure and customs are refreshing to everyone. Yidi is a clan-tribal social structure, which is different from the social structure of the south, they are all heard of for the first time, and their curiosity is overflowing in an instant.
Are you eating animals alive? Do you hold bonfires every day? These questions are easy to say, but Lu Qianqian raised a question that made Lin Tian embarrassed.
"You said that the tribes all have the same ancestry, and it is not allowed to intermarry with foreigners, so how did you reproduce?"
Lu Qianqian's question really asked Lin Tian, Lin Tian was right to tell them, the members of each tribal group think that they are inherited from a common ancestor, so how did this group reproduce, even if they can be closely inbred, but there is a high chance that the child born is not a normal person, and there is a high chance that it will die.
It is not impossible for inbred to combine in the tribe, but it is still relatively rare, at least it will not be combined by self-study blood. Because people have long found that the offspring produced by close relatives are not good, they will avoid it to the greatest extent. But there are only so many people in the tribe, who avoid coming and going, but I am afraid that there will be nowhere to avoid in the end.
In Lin Tian's memory, Yidi was not allowed to intermarry with foreign clans in the past, which was difficult for Lin Tian to explain. The south has long been a civilized society, and naturally inbreeding is not allowed, so Lu Qianqian asked this question.
The ghost face and the people really did a lot of work, and led his subordinates to directly impact the contemporary government. Fortunately, Ghost Face was not carried away by hatred, and there was still a trace of clarity. At the last moment, he only ordered all the officials in the government to be wounded, leaving one life.
The ghost face is still moral, knowing that there is a debtor and a debtor, and he does not be a person who kills indiscriminately. The local government immediately reported their experience to the imperial capital, which was not far from the imperial capital, and a day later, the imperial capital court received the news that the ghost face led people to storm the official palace.
When the imperial court heard the news, it was extremely angry, especially Emperor Chunyu. The ghost face of their blatant attack on the official mansion this time, and their appearance and form were not disguised in the slightest, and this news had to make the people in the imperial capital court believe that the two remnants had really escaped.
The angry Emperor Chun Yu summoned Sikong Ruidong to the palace and reprimanded him, and later summoned Situ Shangguan Shaowen to count down a meal. Originally, Sikong and Situ each performed their duties, and this matter had nothing to do with Situ, but Ruidong was recommended by Situ Shangguan Shaowen, and Emperor Chun Yu also knew that it was his person. As a result, pond fish were affected.
"Did the assassins recruit them?"
After a fire, Emperor Chunyu gradually calmed down. Emperor Chun Yu sat on the throne above and asked Shangguan Shaowen above the hall.
His Royal Highness Ruidong raised his body and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, a famous assassin has been recruited." As news of the rest of the remnants arrived, I told the imprisoned Assassins, and one of them had been recruited. ”
"Oh, what did you say?"
Emperor Chun Yu doesn't care about the confession process, he only cares about the result, and it is the result he wants. Emperor Chunyu has always been known for his domineering and domineering, and during his reign, he even brought the Canghan Empire to an unprecedented level. There are kingdoms to submit to the west (Da Luo Kingdom), suppress the kingdoms in the east, and deter the Longlan Empire in the south, as if they have a hegemonic status.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the Assassin confessed that he had seen their leader lead a man back, and later heard that the man was from Beiyi, and that the equipment in their hands was obtained from Beiyi."
"Beiyi?"
Emperor Chun Yu thought about it for a long time, and he had never heard this name in his mind, and there was no doubt that this word was unfamiliar to him. After a while, Shangguan Shaowen suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Beiyi is located in the extreme north, and it is still in the north of the Phantom Flame Country. Chen had heard of it, but Beiyi was a wild land, and it was hard to believe that someone could forge such a sharp weapon. ”
Emperor Chun Yu frowned when he heard this, "Ruidong", Emperor Chun Yu suddenly shouted loudly.
"The minister is here", Ruidong stood up and bowed his hand. Emperor Chun Yu leaned forward and said sternly: "I don't care what method you use, you must also find out the source of these weapons, I want to know who has mastered this superb refining technique, and obtained, do you understand?" ”
"The minister understands that the minister will not dishonor the emperor's order."
Ruidong knelt down and bowed, and when he raised his head, Emperor Chun Yu had already left his seat and wanted to leave.
On the way out of the palace, "My lord, you must help me!" What kind of Beiyi, I haven't heard of it, where can I find someone? Ruidong complained to Shangguan Shaowen, his posture was very low, Shangguan Shaowen held Ruidong's hand and stopped his bending body. Brother, where did we come from so many politeness. The family doesn't talk to each other, don't worry, brother, I will do my best to help you. ”
"With your words, I am relieved."
Ruidong hugged his fists again and thanked him, Shangguan Shaowen just liked this feeling. Even if he Ruidong is now in the same position and his status is not much different from him, he is still polite to himself, and this feeling makes him feel like a spring breeze.
After all, Ruidong was suddenly promoted, firstly, he wanted to thank Shangguan Shaowen for his promotion, and secondly, he had a weak foundation behind him and a weak influence, so he had to still rely on Shangguan Shaowen. Therefore, in front of Shangguan Shaowen, he always maintained a weak posture, and even when he walked with Shangguan Shaowen, he was half a position behind him to highlight the other party's dignity.
These details, the old fox Shangguan Shaowen saw in his eyes, he was naturally happy in his heart, but he would not show it on the surface. Respect each other with Ruidong on the surface, and say some polite words, just to win over the other party, make the other party more desperate for him, and follow him to the death, after all, he is now in a position, and the authority in his hand is not small.
Shangguan Shaowen didn't know about Beiyi in the first place, but later purged Lin Tian and these people who shared his interests, and the first thing he did was to find out everyone's identity and background. If it's still useful, he'll keep it for the time being, and get rid of the useless ones directly.
At that time, he knew that Lin Tian was from Beiyi, because this was what Lin Tian's road guide board was written, and these were not secrets to him. At first, I was also curious about the word Beiyi, but after a little checking, I realized that it was the land of the extreme north, which was farther away than the Phantom Yan Country.
In this way, Lin Tian is at most from a certain tribe in the Far North, in fact, he is not wrong, Lin Tian is from the tribe, so Lin Tian will definitely be on the purge list. In fact, Shangguan Shaowen also doubted whether those sophisticated weapons really came from Beiyi.
The quality of those weapons was much higher than that of the south, and it was difficult for him to believe in his heart that these were forged by the north. In his heart, the kind of extreme northern land, I am afraid that it is not yet civilized and lives a primitive life.
However, this answer was obtained from the mouths of the two remnants of the arrested, and he had to believe it. Because he had heard Redon tell him about the confession of the Assassin, who had apparently taken refuge in them.
The members of Ghostface's organization were all from some helpless people, who were later recruited into the organization and then cultivated. The confessed assassin's name was Yu San, the third brother in the family, and then the whole family couldn't survive, so they became beggars, and in the end, he was the only one who survived. If it weren't for being seen by the ghost face and being recruited back, I'm afraid it wouldn't last long.
This kind of person, generally speaking, will be loyal to Ghost Face, and Ghost Face, as his savior, will naturally repay him with death. Therefore, among these people who were arrested, there was no trace of information from them. And the news that Ghost Face was out and about, after some tampering with Ruidong, turned into Ghost Face abandoning them and running away alone.
In this way, Yu San's heart was a little loose, although he had the determination to die, and he didn't expect the ghost face to come to save him, but when he heard the news, he still felt that he was an outcast, and after several inducements from Ruidong, he opened his mouth. In his heart, he still longs for the glory and wealth promised by Ruidong, who made him poor when he was a child?
When they were captured, as soon as their weapons were taken away, they attracted the attention of the higher-ups. In the end, it was determined that these weapons were excellent in both material and texture, which aroused the interest of Emperor Chunyu, who longed for this smelting technique, because he needed it for a great plan.
