Chapter 196: The Clouds of the Royal City (2)
After leaving the palace, Chen Jian walked through the green-lined bluestone path and walked straight to the residential area in the west of the city.
It took nearly half an hour to arrive at the mansion, which was an ordinary house in a residential area in the west of the city, covering an area of less than 200 square meters, which was quite inconsistent with his status as a guest of honor by the princess.
"Mr. Chen!"
Pushing open the door and stepping into the courtyard, a big man with a beard was already waiting in the hall, saluting Chen Jian respectfully.
"Patriarch Wood, sit down!"
Looking at the bearded man in the room, Chen Jian was not surprised, and motioned for him to sit down.
"Mr. Chen, I have secretly recalled 2000 tribal brothers, as long as Mr. orders us, we can act immediately!"
After sitting down, Wu Mu carefully looked at Chen Jian's expression, and then said excitedly.
"Your Concubine Lian has been imprisoned, I believe the news will come out soon, we just need to act according to the plan!"
Hearing that Wu Mu had summoned 2,000 people, Chen Jian couldn't help but say with a smile on his face.
"Good! Then I'll rush back to Baiyi Town to prepare! ”
The Umu rubbed his hands together and quickly left.
Looking at the departing wood, a cold glint flashed in Chen Jian's eyes.
He had underestimated his influence among the Okushan tribes before, but now it seems that he needs to be dealt with as soon as possible after this matter, and if he is allowed to turn over, it will be difficult to control.
After two years of development, Baiyi Town has developed into a large city with a permanent population of more than 300,000 people.
This scale is already equivalent to the capital of many powers, and there are several such large cities in Yongzhou, especially in the coastal areas.
However, unlike other cities, more than three-quarters of the population of Baiyi City are from barbarian tribes such as the Yu, Xianbei, Wa, and Nanyi, and these people have different living habits from the Han people.
Therefore, although Baiyi City is huge and has a large population, the economy in the city can only be in the middle of the entire southern king's power, and it is even lower in the coastal area.
Although integrated into the power of the southern king, the character of the barbarian people who love to fight bravely and ruthlessly has not changed, and the security in Baiyi City is relatively poor, and fights and brawls can often be seen in the city.
It is impossible to completely change the nature of these barbarians in a short period of time.
Among the barbarians with a large population in the city, the servants of the original Aoshan tribes accounted for the majority, and as the first barbarian force to serve Sima Yu, there was the support of the princess Alensang, who had the absolute right to speak in Baiyi City.
In the center of Baiyi City, less than a mile away from the city lord, there is a huge mansion covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and several strong men in strong samurai uniforms are guarding in front of the door, and the plaque above the door is engraved with the word "Don't picture".
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, nearly ten carriages stopped in front of the mansion at the same time, and each carriage was followed by several well-equipped attendants, forming a long queue on the road in front of the door.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and men in fancy clothes hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked towards the house. Although they are wearing Han Chinese clothes, their sturdy figures and different facial hairs can't hide the characteristics of barbarians on their bodies.
"Patriarch, Patriarch Tudanka, Patriarch Feize, Patriarch Arun and others ask to see!"
An attendant walked through the porch of the house and came to Betu's study, panting and reporting.
In the second year of the Great Struggle, in the process of Sima Yu leading his troops to attack Ainengqi, at the time of the final decisive battle, taking advantage of the opportunity of the attack of the Pakistani army, the coalition forces of the Aoshan tribes also took advantage of the situation to rebel, in a vain attempt to carve up Sima Yu's territory, but in the end, they were defeated by Sima Yu one after another with the Pakistani army.
In that battle, the most powerful army of the Urna tribe in the Aoshan tribe was completely wiped out, and the remaining Guna tribesmen were also reduced to slavery, and these people are still serving in labor throughout Yongzhou.
Most of the other tribes, such as the Flying Bear and the Giant Rock, were also hit hard, and their strength was reduced by more than half, and only the Mountain Eagle tribe, which was sent to the water early in the morning at the critical moment, not only did not suffer a major loss in strength, but after the war, with the support of Sima Yu and Ah Liansang, it developed into the most powerful tribe among the Aoshan tribes.
Tasting the sweetness, Beitu was also interested, and without hesitation, he gave up the right to be relatively independent in the mountains, and led the people to migrate to the area along the river, with the largest population in Baiyi City.
As the most powerful tribe in Baiyi City, the patriarch of the Mountain Eagle Tribe, Betu, also has the most power in the servant forces.
"Patriarch Betu, have you gotten the news that Concubine Lian was imprisoned by Concubine Liu!"
As soon as Betu stepped into the living room, he saw that the patriarchs of more than a dozen Aoshan tribes, such as Tudanka, Feize, and Aarun, were walking back and forth in the hall restlessly.
"I just heard about it!"
Beitu frowned slightly, kept his feet, and said lightly as he walked towards the main seat in the hall.
"Does the patriarch of Betu know why?"
Fei Ze stared intently at Beitu and continued to ask.
"I don't know! It is said that it is related to the military situation, and Concubine Liu sent a message to say that she would give an explanation tomorrow, and then the upper echelons of the government such as Governor Shi will also participate! ”
Sitting on the main seat, Beitu's gaze slowly swept over the people in the hall, and finally his gaze fell on Fei Ze and said lightly.
"Confess? Concubine Liu, she obviously wants to take advantage of the king's absence to take the opportunity to eradicate Concubine Lotus and Concubine Li in one fell swoop, she is a big family, we can't watch her persecute Concubine Lian like this, Concubine Lotus is the witch of all our Aoshan tribesmen! ”
Betu's scrutinizing eyes made everyone in the hall feel uncomfortable, and Fei Ze, who had always been brave and straightforward, couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back, but he still couldn't hide the anger in his heart, and took two steps forward to look at Betu without showing weakness, and said angrily.
"Not bad! This is a frame-up, and we can't let her get away with it! ”
"We can't let the shrine maiden be framed!"
"Not bad!"
。。。。。。
Fei Ze's words were immediately agreed by the other tribal leaders in the hall, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation for a while.
"Concubine Lian is the concubine of the king, no one can deal with the princess except the king, even if Concubine Liu is in charge of the palace now, I believe they will give Concubine Lian justice!" Looking at the indignant crowd, don't try to be unmoved, your eyes are leisurely, it seems that you have looked into the distance, obviously your mind is not here at all.
"The shrine maiden suffers, are we just going to do nothing!"
Betu's unmoved expression made Defeser angry in his heart, and he shouted angrily at him.
"So what do you want to do?"
Feeling the anger of Fei Ze and the others, Don't try to come back to his senses and frown.
"Tomorrow, we will gather our troops and rush to the royal city together to seek justice for Concubine Lian!" Fei Ze said proudly.
"Are you trying to force the palace? It's going to be a head-off! Betu's brow furrowed even deeper.
"Concubine Lian's status is noble, and it is a matter of our servant's face, even if she dies, she will not hesitate to die! Is the patriarch of Betu with us? Fei Ze and the others said impassionedly one by one.
Ah Liansang represents the interests of their servants, and they naturally want to fight back, and the common voice of hundreds of thousands of servants, I believe that no one dares to ignore it easily.
"Gather the crowd to force the palace to conspire against it, my Mountain Eagle Tribe will not participate!"
A hint of gloom flashed in Betu's eyes, and he shook his head.
After today, he and the Mountain Eagle tribe broke with all the other servant tribes.
"In that case! Leave! ”
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Fei Ze and the others left in a hurry in anger.
