The winter of the ninth year of the summer calendar is destined to be a sad time, not long after entering the winter, Rabbit Shen quietly left, not long after Rabbit Shen left, he was already old and frail, and because of the death of his old friend Rabbit Shen and excessive sadness, Shan Song also fell ill and died in the middle of the second half of winter.

Two elders of Xia Guo passed away, and a sad atmosphere shrouded the sky over Zhongjing City, and it did not retreat for a long time.

"Father, why do people die?" An asked Su Yan.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws and human nature, and everyone will have such a day." Su Yan said.

"Father, we are warriors, we almost never get sick, my father and mother look like they are less than thirty years old, and we warriors can't get rid of death?" Ann asked.

Su Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe the martial arts realm to the realm that even I can't detect may be far away from death, but with my current martial arts realm, I can probably live to be more than a hundred years old." ”

The natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death is the normal feeling of people, but since people have desires/hopes, people are dreaming of living longer, and even pursuing the so-called immortality, Su Yan will not think so much, even if his life is only fifty years, he has to live this life well, not to pursue the ethereal immortality.

Rabbit Shen and Shan Song died one after another, and a problem arose, the first patriarch of the Rabbit clan and the first patriarch of the Shan clan died, and the second patriarch needed to be elected.

The first patriarch of the Tiger clan, Hu Biao, died, and Hu Biao's son Hu Zhen took over as the second patriarch, and the inheritance rules for the position of the patriarch have basically been decided.

Article 1: If the current patriarch is designated as an heir, the designated heir shall take over the position of patriarch after the death of the current patriarch or voluntary resignation from the position of patriarch.

Second, if the current patriarch does not appoint an heir, after the death of the current patriarch, the elders of the clan will call the sons of the former patriarch to elect a new patriarch.

For the time being, there are only two rules, and they will continue to be improved in the future.

Rabbit Shen's sudden death will definitely surprise Rabbit Shen himself, so that Rabbit Shen did not make an heir or make a will in advance, so he can only wait for the beginning of spring next year, and the elders of the Rabbit Clan will gather Rabbit Shen's sons to see who has the idea of becoming the second patriarch of the Rabbit Clan, and then conduct an assessment and select one person to become the second patriarch of the Rabbit Clan.

It's okay on the side of the Shan clan, after Shan Song felt that his body was not good, he made a will while his head was still sober, and designated Shan Sheng, who is currently the minister of the Zhucheng Criminal Department, to take over the position of patriarch, and wait until the beginning of spring next year, Shan Sheng can become the second patriarch of the Shan clan.

Appointing Shan Sheng to become the new patriarch of the Shan clan is also a matter that Shan Song decided after thinking about it carefully, Shan Sheng has the ability and status, enough to become the new patriarch of the Shan clan, and Shan Song knows that the importance of the position of the patriarch of this clan will become smaller and smaller in the future, and the importance of the family is above the clan, Shan Sheng is the most outstanding of his sons, and he can lead the family to develop with Xia Guo.

When Yamamatsu made his will, there were still wives and children around him, but no one raised objections, mainly because Yamamatsu was the majesty of the head of the family or the patriarch, and others could not have any opinions, even after Yamamatsu died, no one talked nonsense, and everyone accepted Shan Sheng becoming the second patriarch of the Shan clan.

Perhaps because of the sudden death of Rabbit Shen, some old clan patriarchs such as Snake Zhi and Lu Yuan began to prepare wills, and they were also worried that they would die suddenly one day, and they didn't even make a will, and the family became chaotic.

The death of one old friend after another, Su Yan is still very sad, but the time for Su Yan to recover is also shortening, Su Yan is the king of Xia Guo, and he still needs to take Xia Guo to continue to move forward, the old friends are not young, Su Yan will send them away one by one in the future, if they continue to be sad because of their death, it is irresponsible to Xia Guo.

Natural disasters continue to decline, the temperature in winter has risen to the range that the human body can bear, everyone is no longer stuffy at home in winter, when the weather is fine, they will also go out to Europe, at the same time, the field/war army, the city defense army, the reserve army, the youth army have resumed winter training, and even the field/war army and the city defense army jointly team up to go out hunting.

Everything is moving in a good direction, except for the death of Rabbit Shen and Yamamatsu.

In the palace, eight of the thirteen women have big bellies, and the due date is in the second month of spring, Su Yan and his two sons spend a lot of time with their wives every day, especially Ping He'an, the two are about to become fathers for the first time, and a sense of tension inexplicably rises in their hearts.

Su Yan still has that kind of embarrassing feeling, children and grandchildren were born almost at a time, which is too embarrassing, in addition to this embarrassing feeling, thinking that children and grandchildren are about to be born, Su Yan's heart is more joyful, the joy of blood inheritance, and the joy of spreading branches.

……

Several tribes outside the Xia Kingdom, they suddenly thought of a question, in the spring of this year, they had a contact with the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom sent an invitation to their tribe, after that time, their tribe did not have contact with the Xia Kingdom, and when next spring, the fleet of the Xia Kingdom will definitely come again, what should they say at that time?

This is a question worth pondering.

Some high-level people of the tribe thought that Xia Guo was a friendly and peace-loving tribe, and there would be no problem for our tribe to refuse the invitation, and our tribe could trade with Xia normally in the future.

There are also high-level people of the tribe who think that since our tribe does not accept the invitation of the Xia Kingdom, we must think of a good excuse to reject the Xia Kingdom, if we do not reply to the Xia Kingdom well, then our tribe will be in danger.

"If it really doesn't work, our tribe will move and move to the night tribe." This is the view of a high-level of the Japanese tribe.

The Sun tribe knows that its strength is weaker than that of the Xia Kingdom, and most of the high-level members of the tribe think that their tribe's strength is not enough, but they can resist the Xia Kingdom, and there are also a small number of high-level people who think that the strength of their tribe cannot resist the Xia Kingdom, and they should move to avoid the Xia Kingdom's army.

The Sun Tribe was able to find a place to move, and the Sun Tribe faction defeated the Night Bear Alliance, and both the Night Tribe Residence and the Bear Tribe Residence were more suitable as the new home of the Sun Tribe.

If you want a large tribe with a population of more than 4,000, you can't do it by farming alone, and the former Night Tribe and Bear Tribe are next to rivers or larger lakes, and they can fish from rivers and lakes.

However, things have not yet reached the most critical moment, and most of the high-level leaders of the Japanese tribe believe that their tribe can resist the army of the Xia Kingdom, so the idea of moving is put aside for the time being. ()
