Chapter 17: Conscience
It's a very peculiar village, similar to an Inuit igloo, with a bit of the appearance of a kiln on the Loess Plateau, and finally, a touch of desert style.
Sure enough, it is a village on the border between the two countries, and it is still affected by the environment and the humanities of the two countries, so that it has become a bit nondescript, but at the same time, it is also a different landscape.
The village is not large, there are only about twenty or thirty households, and according to the calculation of five people per household, there are only about 100 people.
Such a small village, even if he really harbored malicious intentions towards outsiders, Xin Yi alone could completely slaughter this village, and slaughtered it without much effort.
Xin Xi didn't plan to play tricks with this group of aliens, he described his plan simply.
"That's it?!" Xin Yi expressed his doubts, all along, whether it was what she saw or what she heard Thirty-six say, combined, the result of the manifestation was - Eleven Lang should be a person who has to use a bad strategy to buy a rotten vegetable leaf, this time, there is no need for a scheme?!
"Well, that's it, otherwise, what else do you want?!" Xin Xi noticed the strange look hidden in Xin's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Then I'm going?!" Xin Yi was still a little unsure.
"Go, go and go back quickly, Adam and I are waiting for you here at the entrance of the village!" Xin Xi waved her hand, turned around and hugged Adam, this little girl came to this world of ice and snow for the first time, even if she wore a thick cotton jacket, she was still shivering with cold.
Adam rubbed hard into Xin Zhen's arms, and his red little nose matched the sluggish appearance, which looked particularly cute.
Xin Yi glanced at Adam deeply, and there was a sour feeling in her heart, she dared to bet on a hundred taels of silver, this little girl deliberately pretended to be frozen to death!
After all, the innate realm!
Are you afraid of this cold?!
Are you kidding?!
Sighing helplessly in her heart, Xin Yi began to have beautiful thoughts in her mind again, in fact, she also wanted to be like Adam, a little girl, to find an excuse and rub hard into Xin Yi's arms......
Things that are difficult to do in reality, people like to go to YY, Xin Yi walked towards the village, while YY replaced himself as the picture of Adam, and worked hard towards Xin Yi's arms.
Thinking about it, there was a blush on her face, and a shy smile that showed a taste of happiness, in short, a sweet smile.
Approaching the village, there is not much snow on the road, which should be specially arranged by someone in the village to clean it, or perhaps, someone came to clean it spontaneously.
But no matter what, the thin snow on this road represents that the people in this village are a group of extremely kind people, because only kind people will be willing to help others for free, or organize people to do things for everyone, which requires a kind premise.
It seems that this village may not be like those Tibetan villages in the east, revealing a fierce and fierce spirit.
"Whoa...... Hang La-Quack! A strange voice came from the right-hand side (Anyway, every time I write about this kind of chicken and duck plot, I am so happy!) Haha).
Xin subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist, but then relaxed slightly, because, after looking in the direction from which the voice came, Xin Yi found that the person who shouted at her was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl of different races.
This little girl is very delicate, not so much like a Tibetan or Khotanese next door, but a little more distant like the Persians, or the Great Qin (this Great Qin is the Eastern Roman Empire!). )。
The reason is that the blonde hair is not golden, but a brownish-yellow with a golden color, which is very strange.
In this era, the Middle East still has the blood of the Tang Dynasty, and the crusade on the Roman side has just begun, and it has not yet covered this side, so in fact, in the entire region east of the Middle East, the race is still dominated by black-haired and yellow people, but there are many people who have been Caucasianized, and the human characteristics are gradually developing towards the Caucasian side.
Until about a hundred years later, when the Crusades were completed, the Middle East, and even Tibet, that is, Xinjiang and Tibet in later generations, would be mixed with races, and then, the eyes of various colors with high noses and various colors of hair, white people of various colors, would appear on this land.
The racial foundation is actually the root of the Tang Dynasty's willingness to establish the Anxi Protectorate, if during the Tang Dynasty, this part of the Middle East has been completely assimilated into whites, presumably Emperor Taizong is not interested in establishing any Anxi Protectorate.
Even if you really want to expand your territory, you probably have to slaughter all the way, after all, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, especially if you have colorful eyes and hair, in the eyes of people in the Tang and Song dynasties, you are ghosts, but you are unknown.
This is about the same as the degree of discrimination against blacks by whites in later generations, that is to say, all the descendants of China, show your arrogance and self-confidence, gringos in the Tang and Song dynasties, but they are all inferior people that we look down on, and even ominous ghosts!
As an aside, it seems that the mix of races will always go towards the low-end races?! For example, if a black person is mixed with a white person, the offspring will generally be black, while a yellow person mixed with a white person will generally have white offspring......
So, it seems that the yellow race is a little more advanced?!
Therefore, suddenly seeing such a little girl with brown and golden hair and blue eyes, Xin Yi actually looked very puzzled.
She walked over slowly, shaking her hand and said, "I don't understand what you're saying, do you know the Central Plains language?!" ”
This is just a polite question, Xin Yi does not expect the other party to know the Central Plains language, after all, the Great Song is not the Great Tang, in the Great Tang, the entire Eurasian region is learning Chinese with the strength of later generations of Chinese to learn English, and the Great Song is obviously not as strong as the Tang Dynasty's coverage and attractiveness.
After all, although the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, it was not strong enough, and the conquest of foreign Yi was never based on the economy and money, but on fists!
Barbarians, it's good to be beaten or not!
It's a pity that in China's 3,000-year history, not many people understand this, and everyone doesn't understand this, so all along, they have always been giving money to the outside world, and rarely using their fists.
This is a mistake in the method, a selective error in the direction, and this is a very troublesome problem. After all, the Chinese are too kind, they don't like to beat people, they always like to use their mouths, money, relationships, and are extremely good at building a net, and then, they are comfortable in the net.
But once out of that familiar net, most of the Chinese will be at a loss, perhaps this is national nature? Maybe it's a collective disease caused by Confucianism?!
These are the little thoughts that Xin Yi got all the way after listening to Xin Zhen's nonsense, I don't know why, Eleven Lang always has a deep opinion on Dongying's blessing, and he has been instilling that Adam's little girl all the way, Dongying must be destroyed.
Because, according to Eleven Lang, the Dongying people are chrysanthemums and knives, the Central Plains people are spiders and webs, and spiders are not interested in chrysanthemums, so the Chinese are not interested in the territory of Fusang Dongying, but the problem is that the web cannot block the knife, so the knife will one day be full of ambition and rush up to break the web of the Central Plains, and the web is gone, and the spider can only flee in the wilderness.
Therefore, to prevent problems before they happen, we must first extinguish Dongying!
Well, along the way, Xin Yi was also instilled by Xin Yi to see the stranger as if he had killed something.
It's okay, it's okay, she hasn't been completely brainwashed yet!
While thinking about it, the little girl from a different country sitting under the eaves spoke: "Is it Tang Yan?!" ”
It was not very clear, and there were even two words that were mispronounced in the eyes.
But, as soon as Xin heard it, she understood, so she was shocked!
Datang's influence is so great?!
After more than two hundred years have passed away in the Tang Dynasty, not only the monks of Tianzhu can also speak Tang Yan, but even this little girl who doesn't know which country in the Western Regions also understands Tang Yan?!
Xin Yi was slightly taken aback, and then felt that the upright, or barbaric, approach that Eleven Lang had just explained to her would no longer work.
No, it's not that it won't work, but there can be better options!
"I'm from the Central Plains, I have something important to do in the Tianshan Mountains, and I need help from the people in your village, can you call the whole village over?!" Xin Yi spoke very slowly, almost word by word, because the communication of different languages is already difficult to understand, if you keep the original speed of speech, as a foreigner, even if you have been exposed to your language, you may not be able to understand it.
This is her personal feeling of going to the Khitan to carry out a mission, she obviously learned the Khitan language, when talking to a Khitan person, the other party's speech speed accelerated, and she didn't understand anything, so she was worried that this little girl wouldn't understand if she said it was fast.
The blonde girl glanced at Xin Yi suspiciously, and there was caution in her eyes, followed by hesitation, but after a while, the little girl's eyes flashed with determination.
The hesitant look in that look was not the look of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but the look of a politician who had experienced many years, at least those who had gone through strong winds and waves.
What kind of wind and waves can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl experience?!
Xin Yi was very puzzled, and at the same time, she was vigilant again, her right hand slowly slid down, only an inch away from the hilt of the sword, this distance, not only will not cause misunderstanding, but also can draw the sword as quickly as possible at the time of the incident!
The blonde girl laughed, "Okay, I'm going to call someone!" ”
So saying, the little girl turned and approached the house, and a moment later a signal arrow shot into the sky.
Xin Yi was slightly stunned, and the whole person was completely surprised, and at this time, seven or eight soldiers wearing armor rushed out of the entire village, not a strange room.
The soldiers were like the little girl, with blonde hair, a high nose, and eyes that were not blue, but green and gray.
Almost instantly, an army of nearly three hundred men surrounded Xin Yi from all directions, and at the same time, these people brandished the short swords in their hands, rhythmically, and struck on the round shield they held in their left hand!
Xin Yi smiled coldly, slowly pulled out the blade, pulled out a beautiful sword flower, and pointed the long sword straight ahead.
"The mechanism is broad! Rub Karma! The little girl came out of the room and spoke in a cold voice, speaking in a language that Xin Yi had never heard before, not Tibetan, not Khotanese, not even Persian.
As the little girl spoke, the nearly three hundred soldiers, after being slightly stunned, put down their weapons, and the fierce aura like a wolf pack dissipated.
Xin Yi looked at the little girl with doubts.
At this time, an old man wearing a white robe appeared, the old man put his right hand on his chest, slowly bent over, and said in a slightly more standard Tang dialect: "Hello, visitors from Dongtu!" ”
Outside the village, when the sound of signal arrows breaking through the air was heard, Xin Xi looked up at the sky, and deep doubt flashed in his eyes.
Adam asked, "Eleven Lang, it doesn't seem like this is the signal arrow of the Shadow Guard?!" ”
Xin Yi nodded slowly, and then fell silent, if this is not the signal arrow of the Shadow Guard, it means that Xin Yi has been ambushed!
So, at this moment, should he take Adam over to help Xin Yi, or wait for Xin Yi to come out?!
Xin Yi's combat power, he absolutely believes it, after all, he is the first person in the Shadow Guard Army, and even, it can be said unceremoniously that the first person in the Shadow Guard Army is the first in the entire Great Song Dynasty!
However, there was no sound of battle inside?!
How is this possible?!
Could it be that Xin was killed in an instant?!
Xin Xi's face became more and more difficult to see, such a peaceful small village, there is still some kind of secret, it is really unthinkable!
Adam looked at the inside of the village with some concern, looking at the quiet village, Adam asked, "Eleven Lang, why don't I go in and check it out?!" ”
Xin Zhen turned his head suddenly, looked straight at Adam, and said, "Don't leave my side for half a step!" ”
Xin Yi is very likely to have been planted, Adam must not lose, whether it is from the perspective of overall interests or personal feelings, Xin Yi can die, Adam, no accident!
Thinking of this, Xin Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty, it was a guilt for choosing to give up Xin Yi, after all, Xin Yi came with him for the first time!
Sometimes, however, it is really necessary to make a trade-off!
Slightly hesitating, Xin Xi took Adam's hand, turned around, and was about to leave the village.
Adam stood dead in place, no matter how Xin Yi pulled, he didn't move.
"Adam, be obedient, go!" Xin Zhen turned his head and said sharply.
Adam's eyes were slightly red: "Has Eleven Lang always been so cold-blooded?" That's Shinichi who accompanied us all the way from Tokyo to the Tenzan Mountains! Really, she's been with Eleven Lang for longer than you, right?! ”
"Didn't Eleven Lang keep saying that life is precious?! Didn't Eleven Lang say that when Eleven Lang was the commander-in-chief of the Western Military Power, he ordered that every inch of land would be fought for, and no one of the people would be abandoned? ! ”
"Are those all eleven liars?!" Adam looked at Xin Zhen directly, and said loudly: "Could it be that just like those heroes that storytellers say, as a hero, you will only be good to all sentient beings, and thus suffer your relatives and friends?!" Eleven Lang, are you such a person?! ”
Really?!
Xin Xi was slightly stunned, and unconsciously, he seemed to be changing towards the appearance he once hated......
Xin Xi let out a long sigh, suddenly laughed, squatted down, stretched out his hands, hugged Adam, and said softly: "Adam, thank you!" ”
Then, holding Adam, he stood up and walked slowly: "Let's go in!" ”
