061 The Truth (4)
The origin of Xiang Qiang starts from a long, long time ago, and it is very far away.
"That was a long time ago, when there was no Xiangqiang nation. Legend has it that antiquity was a mythical era, and there were gods on the steppe, who had a brilliant culture, supernatural skills, and could turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands into rain. However, the gods were not satisfied with this, and they fought with each other, and the various races were more or less bound to each other. With the deep voice of Servano, a thrilling history unfolds......
Later, the contradictions between the gods became more and more acute. Finally, a great war broke out, which later came to be known as the 'War of the Gods'. "But no one thought that in the end, the battle of the gods would be a war without a winner." After this battle, the gods withered, and our Chiwu Heavenly God, when his soul was destroyed, created the Xiangqiang nation, and sent his messengers to this grassland to guard this vast grassland, and teach the ancestors of Xiangqiang to hunt and survive. ”
This history, Qin Luo is indeed unheard of, and he listens to it with relish. Perhaps the myths all have something in common, and this history is very similar to the legend of the Central Plains. The Central Plains also has stories such as Pangu opening the world, Nuwa creating people, the battle between the Yellow Emperor Yandi and Chiyou Zhuolu, etc.
"And the messenger of the Chiwu Heavenly God is the ancestor of our Servan Clan, Servan Yiyu." When Servan Nuo said this, her voice suddenly raised her voice, and her thoughts entered the vague past, and she said with a little pride, "Servan Yiwei led the people to hunt and graze together, forming a tribe, and that is Jinyang. Subsequently, the tribes of Qingyun, Chishui, Heiyan, and Baisha also gradually emerged, and at that time, there would indeed be a war between the various tribes because of the grassland, cattle and sheep. But it was only a local war, and there were no big losses. ”
"Until the appearance of a man, the situation was disrupted." Servano smiled and said proudly, "That person is a hero of our Servan family, and also a hero of the grassland-Servan Gil. As the messenger of the Red Crow Celestial God, Servangier led the cavalry to sweep through the grassland. It was he who quelled the war in the troubled times of the steppe for a hundred years, and he was also the first to unify the steppe and ascend to the throne of Khan. ”
As a result, the Jinyang tribe was the head of the five tribes, and the other four tribes were all vassals of Jinyang at that time. They swore allegiance to Jinyang and the Servan family. If there is an order from the Mulan family, the subordinate swear to answer the call. ”
For a long time afterward, Xiang Qiang maintained a peace that was rare in a century. The tribes no longer privately fought for property and waged war. All disputes were left to the Khan of Rangil. The various tribes revered the Khan, and Jinyang gradually developed and flourished. They asked the craftsmen of the Central Plains to build the most beautiful palace, the Golden Palace, and then cast the Danyang City Pool as a barrier to the Golden Palace. "Sullanno's eyes were full of yearning, when they were at the most prosperous and prosperous era of Jinyang.
"But the good times didn't last long, and Jinyang's rule was not as eternalized as imagined." With a tone of regret, Sulan Nuo continued, "The last khan of the Sulan clan, Sulan Fubudai, is a tyrant. He was tyrannical and cruel, and he loved to torture slaves, and in order to satisfy his selfish desires, he made other tribes send their gold, silver, and women at every turn. The Qingyun Ministry couldn't bear it at first, and rebelled. It didn't take long for the Chishui Department to join them and attack Danyang City together. ”
When Qin Luo heard this, he seemed to see the ancient battlefield where the war was raging, with drums ringing, horses' hooves trembling, and smoke burning. He listened to it with fascination, and it felt like it was real and illusory.
"You must already know the outcome of the war. It was Qingyun who won and destroyed the Jinyang Ministry. "But you don't know how they won." ”
"How did you win?" Qin Luo asked.
"At the end of the war, the soldiers and horses of Qingyun and Chishui came to the city of Danyang, and at this moment, even the weakest Baisha joined the rebel army, while Heiyan swore allegiance to the Khan of Fulanfu Budai. Fulan Fu Budai was gullible and believed in Heiyan, and actually let them enter Danyang City to guard. "The consequences can be imagined, Hei Yan stabbed Jin Yang in the back, opened the city gate, and let the enemy's army enter the city. ”
Qin Luo suddenly realized, "So your enemy is not only the Qingyun Tribe, but also the Black Rock Tribe?" ”
"Yes." Servano nodded, "Black Rock used this despicable means against my ancestors. Naturally, I will also treat others the way they do. Didn't Mozang Kodun trust me, and I would let her taste the taste of being stabbed in the back by someone she trusted. ”
It turns out that her real purpose is like this. How can killing one or two people from the Tuoba family be considered revenge? Destroying the two tribes of Qingyun and Black Rock is her real purpose.
Qin Luo asked, "So, how are you going to stab her in the back?" ”
"Poison!" Servano had already thought of a countermeasure, "When Tuoba Yan and Mozang Dasi are at war, I will poison Mozang Kedun and blame Tuoba Yan." The Great Khan of Mozang, who fought in the Central Plains, was bound to be furious, and then he would swing his army straight into the clouds. Qingyun and Heiyan both lose, which is what I want to see the most. ”
Kill Mozang Kedun, blame the Khan, and anger Mozang Dag? Qin Luo knew that the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Mozang family was good, but the relationship between Mozang Kedun and his son was very bad. As long as Mazangda shifted the target of the attack, the crisis in the Central Plains could be resolved.
Qin Luo nodded and said, "It's feasible." ”
"So, in order to keep your homeland, you have to let the Khan send troops as soon as possible." "And you can rest assured that there will be no danger to your life. When I kill Mozang Kedun, then those Qingyun soldiers who blindly follow will surrender. ”
"There are no eyes on the battlefield, what if there is an accident in the war?" Qin Luo asked.
"I think, even if you sacrifice your life for the Chu State, you should have no regrets." Servano smiled at Qin Luo, "And I, too." ”
"Although he died nine times, he still has no regrets." Qin Luo said.
The rest of the story, as they both expected, went smoothly. It's a pity that at the last step, Mozang Kodun did not die. Qin Luo said in his heart, then Tuoba Yan is very likely to take Mozang Kedun as a hostage, so that Mozang Dage will throw a mouse trap and dare not attack Qingyun. Qin Luo looked at Fu Lannuo with pity, the defeat she was expecting was very likely to be unrealized.
"When I was leaving, I asked a servant girl to bring the poisoned wine to Mozang Kedun, but she didn't see me, so she probably would be wary and wouldn't drink it." Servano sighed, "It's good that there is that kid Tuoba Yan, I hope he doesn't live up to my words." ”
"That's his mother, after all." Qin Luo didn't hold out any hope for this.
Fu Lannuo was determined to win, and said to Qin Luo with a smile: "Don't look at Xiang Qiang with your foolishness and filial piety in the Central Plains, you still don't know Tuoba Yan too well." ”
Qin Luo looked at Servant Ranno in disbelief, but Servant Ranno didn't want to go into details. She changed the subject and asked Qin Luo with a smile, "Do you know why I saved you?" ”
Qin Luo shook his head, "I don't know!" "Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that Servano hadn't revealed Qin Luo's identity, he would have been killed by Mozang Kodun a long time ago.
"Because you and I have similar experiences. You are a Chu person, and you have also experienced the ruin of the country and the destruction of your family, and you have been captured and abused by the enemy......" Servano smiled bitterly, "There is some hatred, which cannot be resolved by time." With you, Qingyun will be chaotic. ”
Will the clouds be chaotic? Qin Luo didn't know if he could disturb the pool of spring water in Qingyun with his own ability. However, what Servano said hit the bottom of Qin Luo's heart. That is: there are some hatreds that cannot be resolved by time.
"Qin Luo, when you are in a bad mood and drink in the future, don't always face south." Fu Lannuo gave Qin Luo his last advice, "Also, don't look bitter and hateful, it's easy to show your stuffing, remember to smile more." ”
Qin Luo smiled bitterly, watching as Servano's face became more and more pale, and the blood on his wrist was still pouring out. More than blood, I'm afraid this woman will bleed to death.
"I can't live." Servant Lanno also had self-knowledge, but she didn't regret it at all, she smiled at the sharp knife in Qin Luo's hand, it was the dagger she used to hold Jimmy hostage, "This dagger, called 'Qingsha', its blade is glowing with cyan luster, very sharp. ”
Qin Luo looked at the dagger in his hand, and didn't understand why Servano suddenly said this.
"Do you want it?" "As long as you kill the old master with 'Qingsha', you will be its new master." ”
It turned out that Fu Lannuo had already had the will to die, Qin Luo looked at her with a complicated expression, and slowly walked to her side and knelt down, but in the face of such a big living person, Qin Luo found that he couldn't do it.
"You haven't killed anyone, have you?" She shook her head and said, "This can't work, how can you be an intermediary if you are so soft-hearted?" ”
"I'm the one who knows your secrets, think about it, if I don't die, what if one day, I reveal your identity. The most important thing is to be ruthless. Fu Lannuo pointed to his heart, "Come on, Qin Luo, give me a good time." Stick it in here and kill with a knife. ”
Death, for some, is painful, for others it is relief. And Frano is the latter. From the moment she came to Mozang Kotun and did things for Mozang Kotun, she had already put life and death aside.
In the art of war, there are five uses: there is a cause, there is an inner room, there is a counterpart, there is a death room, and there is a life room. (1) And Ranno, on the other hand, chose the place of death, and took death as the room.
In this way, Servano succeeded in his use, and his wish was fulfilled, and he had no regrets. Death is the fulfillment of her. Qin Luo raised the "Qingsha", there was no more fear and hesitation in his heart, he stabbed the dagger into the chest of Fu Lannuo, and saw the "Qingsha" flash a dazzling cyan light, and then red blood gushed out.
He looked at the blood on his chest with a smile, like a bewitching rose trying to bloom and never fade......
It was all over, and Ferranor closed his eyes in relief, letting his breathing gradually stop. But there was still a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth......
