Chapter 60: Revenge
Gong Changqiu's stele is erected in the back mountain of the Di people, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the feng shui is excellent, and occasionally a little stone stele looms under the barren grass.
This is the burial place of important people in the clan, and the people buried here are either patriarchs, elders, and wizards, and even slave owners are not qualified to bury and erect monuments here.
There are two types of burial in the tribe, one is burial in earth and the other is burial in water – these are all ways to return people to nature after death. However, because water burials can increase the stench, this custom is gradually replaced.
There were very few people who came to the funeral, and Taijia was also one of them, as for Gong Changqiu's grandson Gong Chun, he couldn't appear here.
In his words, he has lived until now without Gong Changqiu's help, and would rather spend more time having fun than bother to attend his funeral. Although many people scolded him, there was nothing they could do.
After all, he has long been used to being scolded.
During the month he was in a coma, Taijia could clearly feel a strange force pulling him by his side, which made him feel a lot less pain in his heart and bones. He even thought he was dead for a while, and he had gone to heaven.
Qiu Luo respectfully bowed in front of the monument, and after he led the sword forward, he stepped back, level with the Taijia, and asked in a low voice: "What did the elder say to you before he died?" ”
His attitude was extremely tough, almost pressing the Thai League. Taijia glanced at him, knowing that Gong Changqiu had died, and the resentment that he had killed his eldest son had risen again in his heart.
The relationship between father and son is a matter of course. Taijia did not blame him, and said, "Before the elder died, he did not say anything important. ”
"Really?" Qiu Luo frowned slightly, and said in his heart Gong Changqiu was a cautious person, he must have known that he was going to die, how could he not leave any last words?
But after thinking about it, he was relieved. Gong Changqiu was frugal all his life, dedicating all his energy to the tribe and his own academics, and was extremely poor. He didn't have any assets in the family, and his grandson was not angry, so he really had nothing to do when he left.
But he didn't know that Tala had deceived him.
Gong Changqiu was all about business before he died. He tried his last strength to tell the Taijia, hoping that the Taijia could lead the Di people to a better future, no matter how they treated him in the past, I hope he would not mind, and he could see his face and lead the poor Di people on the bright road.
Secondly, Gong Changqiu put forward his last wish, hoping that Taijia could visit the countries again to see what the mountains and rivers he once walked have become now.
As soon as Taijia woke up, it was such a heavy thing, but his life was given by Gong Changqiu, if it weren't for Gong Changqiu, his body would have already rotted. Is it impossible for a dying man to fulfill his last wishes?
After he nodded firmly, Gong Changqiu smiled at Jiuquan.
As for Xiang Qiuluo, because he has a personal hatred for himself, Taijia is unwilling to tell him about it, lest he take advantage of himself to play on the subject.
However, at this moment, the Thai armor is fully aware of the burden on his body. Although he is still young, sooner or later he will have to be at the forefront of the tribe as a leader and can no longer treat anything with a childlike mentality.
Maybe it's maturity, maybe it's growth!
"Big brother, are you really okay?" After saluting, Edgeworth quickly opened Biya's hand and leaned towards Taijia, looking at Taijia's body with small eyes in confusion, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he found that there was nothing abnormal.
Taijia touched his head and said, "You stinky boy, how much do you hope that the eldest brother is dead?" ”
Edgeworth thought that the eldest brother was really angry, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Eldest brother, you misunderstood!" I...... I'm just worried about big brother ......"
Looking at Gong Changqiu's stele, Taijia was sad and muttered: "Big brother won't die so easily, big brother...... There are still important things to do! ”
In addition to the high-ranking people such as Mao Qiu Luo, the kid Edgeworth, there are also some respectable commoners here, that is, the lowest members of the paper council, and there are only about ten people in total. And just after the last few people had finished saluting, Mo Qiu Luo stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply sorry that the elder died. And the elders ...... Died to save the Tygar! I'm not saying anything against the Taijia, but we must find out the person who killed the Taijia and kill him to avenge the elders! ”
Mo Qiuluo did not speak tactfully, saying that he was not aimed at the Thai Jia, but in fact, his words were also full of pressure on the Thai Jia. Although the main purpose of the words is to find out the real culprit and take revenge, indirectly, it is also a bit of a broadcast of Taijia.
Taijia knew that he would not kill him, but the day he became the patriarch, the pressure on him would increase by one day.
After listening to Qiu Luo's words, everyone nodded one after another, and all said in peace: "The elder died in vain, and I can't forget the revenge!" And find out the way of the person who wants to kill the Thai armor, and then find out! ”
Biya said: "I have heard of the name of that green ghost. But all I know is that this man is a killer and that there is an extremely mysterious organization behind it. But this person is just a knife, and who is wielding this knife...... is the crux of the matter! ”
"Where do so many questions come from? Wouldn't it be enough to catch that killer? An old man shouted.
"That is, if you catch him, won't the person who uses him know?"
Biya glanced at them and said, "This person is seriously injured, and I still can't help him; Said they were going to capture him...... Are you going? ”
"No, no, no!"
"We're all old guys, where can we do it?"
"Let's find another way, find another way......"
The old men were worried when they saw that they were all facing a great enemy. They are fully aware of the demons of the cliff, and they are stronger than the cliff...... How scary is that?
Everyone was silent, Du An was pacing back and forth, and suddenly saw Taijia groaning, so he asked: "Taijia, you are a victim, do you know who would want to kill you?" ”
Taijia smiled bitterly, he had already experienced the second assassination, and if he knew who wanted to kill him, he would not let him use it a second time.
He also had the Sun God Bird Dart left behind by the Green Ghost in his arms, which was the only clue to find that organization. It's just that it's useless to take it out now, could it be that with their small sparkling, they can also destroy an unknown organization?
With a roll of his eyes, Taijia glanced at the cliff, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed: "Everyone, I have heard the second prince say that before the killer killed me, he secretly released Yang Tiantong, so that he fled back to the Shushan tribe and fought against our clan?" ”
"You don't think you said it was sent by Yakult, do you?" Mo Qiu Luo sneered, "Yakult is indecisive and cowardly by nature, how can he make a murderous move?" Furthermore, what are the benefits of releasing Tiantong to him? Put yourself under house arrest? ”
Taijia glanced at Qiu Luo, because of Gong Changqiu's death, this guy is targeting himself more and more.
"I never said that this was a Yakult move!" Taijia said, "Everyone, let's imagine, Yangtiantong is not in Shushan, and my clan controls the two major tribes, who is it disadvantageous to?" And if Yangtian Tongtong is in Shushan, who will benefit us if we lose an important garrison and weapon production area? ”
"Pi Strike," said Bi Ya immediately, "it can only be him!" I remembered that a few years ago, when the art of papermaking was just developed, Taijia had a holiday with him when the Qiang people were selling paper, which made him break both arms! In public and private, this person has hatred with my clan and Taijia! ”
"I forgot about it!" Without the on-demand broadcast of Biya, Taijia really forgot about it, "But there is a hand that you broke first, why is it all on me?" ”
Biya shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
Du An buried his head after hearing this, and thought deeply: "If it is a pi attack, it will be difficult to take revenge......"
"Why is it so difficult?" Qiu Luo said angrily, "The Shushan clan is already in danger, and it is still difficult to protect itself, how can we interfere?" When the Qiang people heard that our clan had broken Shu Mountain, their hearts were torn apart, and a battle could be decided, so why be afraid? ”
"Patriarch, that's not how to fight...... Taijia said to stop it, but this old guy was even more unhappy when he saw him stop it, and threatened: "I have made up my mind!" Dispatch troops on the same day and take down the Qiang people! ”
This old guy is, right? Wasn't it still calm before? Why did you win so much and become so arrogant?
You must know that the hero of that battle was not him, if he hadn't made his own plans and won the hearts of the people, the little Di clan would have been wiped out by Shushan a long time ago!
Moreover, the general trend of Shushan has not gone, the elite soldiers are still there, and the Tiantong people hate the Di clan to the bone, why is it as dangerous as a tired egg? And the war has passed for a month, and the aftermath has passed, so why did the Qiang people say that they were afraid in their hearts?
On the other hand, the Di people, after the war, the army's heart was not stable, and the Qiang people were weak in force, waiting for work at ease, and it was difficult to win! Could it be that the people in this place are all fools, and if they haven't seen the art of war, they won't even understand the general trend, right?
If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you!
Seeing that Taijia and Du Anduan's exhortations were ineffective, he said: "Father, the army is too hasty at this moment, not to mention that our army has just gone through a big war, and the army's morale is unstable, so it is advisable to temporarily raise the flag and fight in Japan!" ”
He couldn't listen to Taijia's words, but his son's words still had to be weighed by Qiu Luo. He pondered for a moment and asked, "How long is it good to see what you see?" ”
"After this year's autumn harvest."
Qiu Luo shook his head: "It's too late! ”
"It's not too late, if it's early, our army will not be victorious; If it is late, I am afraid that the enemy will react, and it will be difficult to have a sneak attack! ”
Taijia's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't get out of the war book, and attack directly?" ”
"If not, our army is inferior to the Qiang people, and it will be difficult to win!" Biya said coldly.
"The ...... of the Qiang people"
Mo Qiu Luo said disdainfully: "Be the enemy of our clan, and bring about your own destruction!" If you don't surrender, kill them all! ”
"This ......"
Taijia looked at the father and son of the Mao family, as if looking at a stranger. Although he knew that killing the enemy and slaughtering the city was inevitable, there was obviously a better way, why did they have to kill innocents indiscriminately?
Diqiang is a family, and the culture is the same. It only took a few years to slowly assimilate, but it had to be wiped out! How can such a short-sighted person go far?
No wonder the Di tribe has always been the weakest of the several major tribes, and every patriarch is so conceited that he doesn't listen to admonitions, how can he rise?
He may be able to understand Gong Changqiu's hard work.
But Mao Qiu Luo is just that, Mao Biya is a swordsman, and he never kills innocents indiscriminately, how can he ...... today
He suddenly looked up, but saw that Mao Biya shook his head helplessly - he understood that Mao Qiu Luo was a donkey, and going against the wool would only be counterproductive. Biya had already seen through his father's heart, so he could only say so.
"This place...... Destroying the lives of the people again! ”
