Chapter 82: Suxia's Limited Sovereignty System (14)
Seeing the red fish leave gracefully, the last smile somehow made Chen Jian think of an idiom that he trembled a little: a word becomes a prophecy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After standing for a long time, he threw away the words that had been lingering in his head, looked at the vast lake, and finally came to the dock, where the soldiers were already lined up in freshly dyed clothes.
"Let's go, and let them go by boat when the remaining dozen or so come back." This is a private matter, and it cannot be counted as a march, and the military judge does not have to punish it. You've got new clothes, and you're going to be more energetic when you get there. ”
The black shirt worn on the soldier was indeed more spiritual than before, and with a sense of superiority that no one else had, the tribesmen were careful to prevent the clothes from getting dirty and wrinkled.
When he sailed to the vicinity of Sucheng, Chen Jian called for people to raise the flag, and the drums and flutes sounded in unison, but the people who were fishing by the river in the distance were startled, and they had never seen this kind of blue-black clothes, so they quickly ran away and told Sutang not far away.
Su Tang was very familiar with the sound of drums and flutes, obviously from Xia Cheng, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the blue-black clothes of the water so neatly, less than a hundred people actually walked out of the shocking momentum.
He hurriedly ran over and said strangely: "Ji Xia, why haven't you seen you for more than ten days, and your clothes have become like this?" ”
"What, it's not pretty?"
"Beautiful! Pretty! When the soldier wears it like this, it looks much better than the original clothes with different layers of dust and different colors. ”
He looked at Xia Cheng's army with envy, and then thought, could it be that the people of Xia Cheng had already built a city in Onozawa? Otherwise, where did this thing come from?
But...... One is that there are no people, and the other is that there are no slaves, how can a city be built so quickly?
"Ji Xia, what is the result of Onozawa's encirclement and suppression of those escaped slaves this time?"
Jian Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't disgrace your mission, there are no fugitive slaves in Ono Zenai." ”
"I didn't ...... Gone? Ji Xia can be joking? Even though the people of Xia Cheng are good at fighting, there is no trace of those fugitive slaves......"
Su Tang suddenly thought of a possibility, and suddenly said, "Could it be that those fugitive slaves became slaves in Xia City?" ”
Chen Jian laughed and said: "Those slaves have all killed their masters, and they would rather starve to death in Dayozawa than go back to be slaves, is it better to be a slave in my summer city than a slave in Sucheng?" It's not the same yet. In any case, there will be no more slaves in Onozawa from now on, and I will fulfill my promise that I will capture and send back any slaves who escape to Onozawa. ”
Su Tang still didn't understand, but he knew that Jian Chen never lied to people, since he said that there were no slaves, then there really weren't, and he didn't believe that those fugitive slaves would be willing to be slaves in Xia Cheng, and those slaves were not easy to use, unless there were hundreds of soldiers in Xia Cheng to take care of them.
praised Chen Jian's exploits in exterminating fugitive slaves, and said: "The leaders of the various clans are basically here, and the grass river is too far away, and it is also headed by Ji Xia, so I let Wei Xi'e and others who followed Ji Xia replace my father and brother." I will send someone to inform my father, and I will enter the city today to worship my ancestors. ”
The two fast horses led the order, Chen Jian also joined forces with Su Tang, and the soldiers of Su Cheng envied Xia Cheng's new clothes, hoping that they also had such one.
After a while, Kuaima reported that the leaders of the various clans already knew about it, and they greeted them outside the city, and Chen Jian called for people to beat gongs and drums, and the black-clothed army of Xia Cheng was in front, holding spears in formation.
And let the eastern cities lure the petitioners to hold sackcloth, silk, and root millet in their hands, and follow them, as a sign of gratitude that the two cities of Suxia had exposed the hypocrisy and wickedness of their leaders.
For this kind of show, Chen Jian is familiar with the road, and asked the Xiacheng fast horses left in Sucheng to go to Sucheng one by one from about ten miles away, and they went to Sucheng one after another, and they went to report every quarter of an hour.
At the gate of Sucheng, the leaders of various cities, or the people of their relatives who could not be sent in person, looked at the scene of the fast horse galloping and reported with envy, and did not know when they would be able to have such an army.
Coupled with the previous rumors and the fact of the battle in the eastern city, many cities are full of vigilance against the sudden rise of Xia Cheng, and perhaps there is a hint of relief, at least Xia Cheng is their own alliance and kin, not an enemy.
The secret covenant has already been concluded, and the leaders of each city have perfected the theory of descent under the leadership of Su Yue, and at the same time secretly agreed on the method of fulfilling the secret covenant in the future, once the next leader is not his own heirs or relatives, or he has designated him, each city has the obligation to jointly send troops to oust him.
Regarding the incident in the eastern city, these leaders did not have much vigilance, thinking that this was a model of interference from father to son, and they sincerely welcomed Chen Jian. They didn't know at this time that what Jian Chen was going to throw was far from being as simple as they thought.
Yuemei stood behind her father, leisurely looking at the rider passing in the distance, looking at the horse with a white star on her forehead, and remembering that this was the one pulling her igloo in winter, and her heart was full of thoughts.
After returning to the city in winter, she was depressed all the time, wanting to forget the man who scolded her for being a caged bird, but the man took her across the river, saw the scenery she had never seen before, and all kinds of interesting stories and stories, which everyone in the city would not understand.
When Ji Songshi and the others went to their city to perform, a few scenes of love dramas made her even more worried, and asked clearly that everyone said that it was made by Ji Xia, they were just acting, and they were stupid for a while, and they couldn't think of people who could come up with lyrics such as Bandit Ru is beautiful and Beauty Zhiyi, why would they evaluate themselves like that?
Sometimes I vaguely feel that what the man said is right, he is really a caged bird and doesn't know anything. However, sometimes I wonder why I am so fierce even if I am a caged bird? I didn't know that the people in that village would freeze to death and starve to death if they moved away in winter, but it was also out of kindness, everyone in the city praised me for being beautiful and kind, why am I useless in you?
Just when Ji Songshi and others toured to Yueyi, Yuemei once quietly asked the woman who acted very beautifully and always made people laugh or cry and often said some words and phrases that she couldn't think of but also felt beautiful, even if she knew that these words and phrases were taught by the man, at least this woman could say them.
"Camelina, there is a man who says I'm a caged bird, and he says he likes birds that fly in the air. He also said...... He also said that I look like a good-looking clay pot that can only arrange flowers, what should I do? ”
Shi Ma didn't know that the name of the caged bird came from his leader, but he was born in Xia City, he was exposed to a lot of things, witnessed countless changes, and acted in more dramas than others, and said casually: "Isn't that simple? Either you like a man who likes caged birds, or you just peck the cage and fly out. ”
"But I've been in the cage for so long that I've forgotten how to fly. I'm the most beautiful in the cage, but once I fly out, I'm not even as good as a sparrow...... Maybe even worse than flies, so what do I do? ”
Shi Ma pouted and said, "Then why don't you fly out, why do you have to like someone who doesn't like you?" That person treats you as a clay pot, and naturally there are people who see you as a treasure of jade. Look at the red fish in our city, that woman is strange and strong, and she looks ...... That's it.,When I was a slave, I was lazy and resisted.,If you don't be a slave, you can eat with the leader.,But I spin my own thread for food.,I don't know what I'm thinking.,And ...... And they can't have children. But the leader treated her as a beautiful jade. You see, such a strange woman is liked by people, you are beautiful and the daughter of the chief, you are good-looking, how many people like you? ”
Yuemei recalled the embarrassment and sadness of hearing these words at that time, and she is still a little miserable to this day, what she likes is the person who likes eccentric women, so what can I do?
I couldn't figure it out all day long, until after Shi Camelina and the others left, and everything that was full of the flavor of Xia Cheng was far away from the city, Yuemei found that she really liked the person in Xia Cheng, and when everything was only in her memory, she knew that Shi Camelina and others were happy when they were acting, not just because of those scenes, but because of the person behind the scenes.
The beauty of the bandit is the joy of the beauty. The lyrics I heard not long ago were so full of thoughts that I couldn't help crying again.
Soon after, when the envoy of Sucheng came to Yueyi, she didn't think about it, so she followed her father to Sucheng, because she heard that the woman named Hongyu was also there, she wanted to see it, she was not afraid, and even a little confident.
He is indeed a caged bird, flying slowly and low, but he has at least wings, and one day he can fly very high. What about the woman? If you can't even give birth to a child, what kind of woman is it? What man doesn't want to have children of his own?
A slightly vicious and jealous vine quietly filled her heart, and she didn't notice it, quietly waiting for the person to appear.
After a few quick rides, Yuemei looked up suddenly, for she heard the melodious sound of the flute flying through the autumn fields and into her ears, the first time she had heard this flute was on the way to Aushiro.
Looking up, the man was riding a white steed, dressed in a black shirt, covered with leather armor, with two pheasant tail feathers stuck in a turban on his head, and a sword called Wufeng hanging from his waist.
"Long time no see."
Yuemei said softly in a voice that only she could hear, and the hatred in her heart turned into a soft smile.
The drums sounded, and the leaders and the people of Sucheng who came to welcome them shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Ji Xia for quelling the rebellion of his relatives." Please also enter the city to pay respects to your ancestors. ”
Chen Jian hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute, holding the jade axe in both hands, and came to Su Yue, who was also stunned.
After bowing, he said: "Su Yue is the leader of the alliance, that is, the elder brother of the kinship." Tell your ancestors, where is there a brother who is still there but let the younger brother do it? ”
Everyone was shocked, the matter of sacrifice was extremely important, especially such a good thing, even Su Yue didn't expect Jian Chen to refuse.
But what Chen Jian was thinking at this time was that he wanted everyone to accept the authority of the alliance leader, and even more accepted the consciousness that the alliance leader was the elder brother and the eldest son of everyone's common ancestor.
Indeed, this is a good thing.
But he is not the leader of the alliance at this time, and when everyone accepts the special status of the leader of the alliance, Su Yue will die, and he will be the leader, and it will take time to do it at that time, so it is better to be subtle now.
He wants everyone to respect the leader of the alliance, not Su Yue. Because this battle exploit is his, Su Yue can't grab it. (To be continued.) )
