Chapter 6 Waiting

Calmly retreated to a secluded place, the hustle and bustle of Yueyi continued, and after the rage, it turned into a kind of carnival, the food, slaves and land of the Qinghip family will be redistributed, and everyone involved is at ease, after all, it was Qinghip who did it wrong first.

Jian Chen looked back at Yuemei, she still looked frightened, and followed closely behind Chen Jianjian, even if she just staggered the shadow sunlight shining on her eyes, it made her a little uneasy.

"You haven't seen a killing?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you so scared?"

Chen Jian doesn't believe that people in this era have never seen dead people, and if they see more, they are not afraid, his grandfather's house in his previous life was in the Yellow Flood Area, and when he was very young, he could calmly step over the corpse that swelled and flowed with green mold, this is the imprint of the times, and he didn't believe that the moon rose of this era could be exempted.

Yuemei hid behind Jian Chen until Jian Chen stopped, then she hid in the shadows and sighed, "I've seen dead people." But...... But what I'm afraid of is...... Everyone is angry not that Qingbutt wants to kill me, but that Qingbutt wants to be the leader? ā€

Jian Chen nodded and said: "Actually, it's all the same, as a leader, you kill more people, and everyone is afraid of killing themselves, so they will naturally be angry." ā€

"The Leader Kills...... As long as they are not slaves, they always need the law, and in our city, we must let the moon wheel be assessed according to the law, and slaves are not considered people, which is different. Do you have a summer city...... Can you, the chief, kill people casually? ā€

"Of course not!"

Jian Chen hurriedly denied that in fact, looking at the entire world he knew, no clan leader had the ability to kill people at will.

"The leader does not use a knife to kill. There is a city to the west of you, on the way from the summer city, and it has just been in turmoil, and the people have expelled the chief. In fact, the chief had never killed a single person with his own hands, but he set the rule that everyone should first cultivate public land and then private land, and that no matter how much land there was, at least the living people had to pay a certain amount of grain, so some people with little land had children, because they had to pay food, and the children could not work until they grew up, and it was okay if they were good, but if they were bad, they would be thrown into the water and drowned, and if they died, they would lose a poll tax. ā€

"As a leader, has he ever killed a man with his own hands? But were the children who drowned killed by their parents? Or was he killed by the chief? It's the same with your Yueyi, if you change to such a person as the leader, aren't you afraid? ā€

Yuemei seemed to understand, but after understanding, she felt colder on her body, which was completely different from the world she knew, and stopped talking, looking down and pondering all that she had heard.

"Didn't your father tell you these things?"

"Nope."

"What about your mother?"

"I died a long time ago, and before today, I never knew the world was like this. You just said this, and I suddenly remembered something. Outside the castle there is a large forest of coffins, and it is said that there was a battle there a long time ago, and many people died. Every spring, I always see that there are more white flowers blooming there than anywhere else, and when the breeze blows, they fall one after another, as if it were a spring snow. I loved it so much that I thought it was beautiful, and I even sang about the forest. But when you said this today, it occurred to me...... Those flourishing flowers, but in fact the flesh and blood of the dead? I've always seen flowers, but never thought of rotting meat......"

Yuemei's tone was full of emotion, and Jian Chen sighed: "Maybe I shouldn't tell you this today?" It's good not to know all the time. ā€

"It's not the same. It's like it's going to be dark. I want to know that the sky will not change because of me, in that case, I can think that it will be dark when I close my eyes; I can also think that when I close my eyes, the sky is still bright, but I can't see it. But what about me now? It's like someone has been telling me, "Mei, it's dark when you close your eyes...... So I believed it, and never thought of any other answer. It's not the same. ā€

The helpless wry smile on his face flashed, and he finally bowed to Jian Chen and said, "I still want to thank you." You let me know what I don't like, but you didn't do what I didn't like. It's like I see killing, but it's not my eyes that kill. I never knew there was so much going on in the city...... What should I do in the future? ā€

She seemed to be asking, but she didn't seem to want to know the answer, and Jian Chen didn't say much, and said to a few people: "You send her back, send her to the moon ring, it's safe there." ā€

Several people came out in response and protected Yuemei in the middle, and after Yuemei left for a long time, she suddenly turned around and asked, "You don't know what I should do in the future?" Or do you know but don't want to tell me? ā€

When she asked this, she stood in place and did not move, Chen Jian did not look back, and said after a while: "You can still go to that piece of the forest in the future, and still sing the words you sang for the forest, forget everything that happened today, there is no difference from before." That's good. ā€

He didn't look back, and left straight with the people, Yuemei looked at Jian Chen's back in a daze, recalling the last words, and muttered when Jian Chen turned the corner: "The forest hasn't changed, but I've changed......"

Jian Chen didn't hear this, and it wasn't until long after he went back that the clansmen who had escorted Yuemei came back to tell him.

"Ji Xia, you actually feel a little sorry for her, don't you?"

"When you kill a pig, the pig is scared, tears and struggles. I feel sorry for it when I see it, but that doesn't mean I don't eat pork because of it. There is nothing to change about Yueyi. The moon wheel is not a leader, but no one can be a real leader anymore. ā€

"But...... It seems that there are still a lot of people who oppose the moon ring. I don't know much, but it seems that the people who oppose the moon wheel are like the wolf skin and tanuki in our summer city, and they are different from ordinary clansmen. ā€

Jian Chen thought for a moment, pulled out the bronze sword and said, "The moon wheel launched the people of Yueyi, and these people are like copper swords, they have double blades. Those powerful people who oppose the moon wheel are like wood. The blade can cut wood, but it will also cut the moon wheel itself, so he needs to make a scabbard out of wood, and those woods also know the horror of the sword blade, knowing that the hilt is in the hand of the moon wheel, they will also stand with the moon wheel and use themselves to make the scabbard. ā€

Retracting the short sword, Jian Chen smiled, "But none of this has anything to do with us. Anyway, Moon Wheel is a supporter of the clan Winter Hunt, and it looks like he will support me as well, because he used me before, and if he doesn't want me to hate him, he will come to me. ā€

When the clansmen were skeptical, the guards outside whispered, "Ji Xia, Yuelun is here with someone." ā€

Chen Jian motioned for everyone not to speak, and stood quietly, and after a while, Yuelun walked in, first apologized again and again: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen in the city." This time also thanks to Ji Xia, if Yuemei was really burned to death, no matter how I explained, the clansmen would not believe it. Let that kind of person be the leader of the city, like a cat in a rat's nest, will destroy the city. ā€

He smiled at Jian Chen, and said, "Ji Xia went to Sucheng for winter hunting this time, and the leader of our city is still asleep, and I still have a lot of things to do, so I can't go even if I'm afraid." But this matter was decided by the leader before, and even if we couldn't go, we would choose someone to go on behalf of Yueyi. Please wait another three or five days for Ji Xia to go to the road together. ā€

Jian Chen smiled bitterly: "Even if you go by the way, you can only go to Sucheng." Xia Cheng is not the relative who swore an oath at the beginning, and when he arrives in Sucheng, he is naturally different from you. ā€

"Ji Xia is not right to say that. Although Xia Cheng was not the relative of the original oath, Su He had already told us about Xia Cheng when he passed here before, although Ji Xia did not have an oath, he took Xia Cheng's people to rescue the Acropolis, which is something that many relatives who swore an oath did not do. With less than 2,000 soldiers, he defeated nearly 5,000 Xijon, which even some large cities could not do. Xia Cheng defended the barbarians in the northwest again, and planted various seeds so that the clans could have more food. ā€

"Twenty years ago, although Xia Cheng did not participate in the oath, this time it is okay. The leader is still asleep now, but I believe that when he wakes up and knows this, he will definitely tell the envoy to Sucheng to support the oath of the Xia Cheng kinship. If it's a leader...... I really didn't wake up, and the Council of Elders in our city would have agreed. ā€

Chen Jian waited for this sentence, and hurriedly thanked: "This is really good. I've heard that the geese that fly from the south even have their nests south, and that our horses that we plunder from the grasslands like to neigh at the wind from the north. This is true of birds and beasts, let alone man? The people of Xia Cheng have moved away from both sides of the river for so long, without brothers, alone along the grass river, and every Xia Cheng people hope to be able to return to the big river and have brothers and relatives. Summer City is not a big city, it has a small population, but it also has some small things. Of course, good things should be shared with brothers and relatives, these are some of the little things that we can do in Xia Cheng, please don't refuse. ā€

Chen Jian muttered some seeds, chariots and horses and other gifts, saying that they would be sent within two years, as a bribe or in return.

Yuelun was not satisfied after being grateful, and stared at the small black clay pot hanging on the entourage in the house and said: "I heard that Xia Cheng has a weapon that can borrow the power of thunder and lightning, and it is as small as a small jar, is this what these warriors are carrying?" ā€

"Yes."

"Can Ji Xia exchange some with us? We are far away from Xia City, and even if someone who breaks the oath becomes the leader in the future, we will not attack Xia City, but there are still many enemies around us...... Although Wolgeup is not the richest of all the towns, there are many things that other cities do not have. ā€

Jian Chen sighed: "I hope to be able to exchange with you, but this is a major matter in the city, and I need to discuss it after I go back to the council to decide." ā€

Yuelun suddenly showed a disappointed look on his face, today's traffic conditions, back and forth, and then discuss, it will take half a year to say the least, it is obvious that this is a prevarication.

But Chen Jian paused for a moment, and then changed his words and said: "However, what these people carry with them can be exchanged, and these leaders of mine can still call the shots." But this thing is very dangerous, and if Xia Cheng really participates in the oath to become a kin, and the clan is all brothers, how can it be given only to you and not to others? When I get to Ashiro, I'll have someone show me how to practice. As for the exchange, Xia Cheng has a boat that can sail against the current, and it doesn't take long to come and go, and I think that when I return, everyone in the council will be happy to share this power with my brothers and relatives.
