Chapter 7: Rumors
Yuelun was happy at this time, maybe in his opinion, it was not necessary to use this thing to fight with foreigners, but if he sent some people to learn it, and the things he got in exchange were in his own hands, I am afraid that no one in the city would dare to oppose him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He pondered for a moment and said in his heart: "This thing must not be owned by everyone in the city, and the children in the family must have it but others do not." You can't change too much, the less the better...... It's a pity that I can't say that Ji Xia will be put in the city, if the people in the city see it, no one knows if Ji Xia and I have ...... exchange."
With all kinds of careful thoughts, and chatted with Jian Chen for a while, Yuelun left first.
Jian Chen waited in Yueyi for another two days, and the situation in Yueyi gradually stabilized, maybe Yuelun reached some agreement with those people in the small circle, or maybe a bigger storm was brewing, but at least now the people in the small circle did not explicitly oppose Yuelun.
As for the ordinary people of the city, they were fascinated by the land slaves they were allotted, praised the moon wheel, and thought that they had done a very important thing for the city: if the plot of the green buttocks succeeded, then the city would be finished.
Yuelun is a person who is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and many interesting stories and battles in the summer city began to circulate in Yueyi, and all kinds of magical and unimaginable legends circulated among everyone.
For example, the people of Xiacheng can control thunder and lightning, they can control the breeze, and they can even control flowing water...... The clay pots hanging on the bodies of those Xia Cheng people who usually laugh and always exchange some gadgets can destroy a room and the like.
Jian Chen knew that Yuelun was building momentum, because no one knew what agreement he had reached with Yuelun, and everyone was speculating whether Yuelun also got that kind of small jar with thunder and lightning power?
When the clansmen reported to him all kinds of rumors about Yueyi, Jian Chen said with a smile: "Let them continue to spread it, if anyone asks, you will tell the truth." According to their understanding, we did control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, this is a fact, what can not be said? The more you say, the better. ”
"But...... Will the people in the city think that we are with the moon wheel? ”
Jian Chen waved his hand and said, "You are wrong, we are not with Yuelun." Whoever has the right to be the leader, we will be on his side. Even if the moon wheel dies today and the person is changed, then these rumors will still spread, but the other one is not the moon wheel, but the new leader. ”
"When are we leaving?"
"Wait two days. The first few towns only expressed their support, but they didn't bring it up at the Clan Assembly. Our Xia Cheng is not the relative who swore an oath at the beginning, so we can't say this proposal ourselves, right? Perhaps, the people of Yueyi can help us. Go ahead and talk about our summer city. ”
After everyone left, Chen Jian squatted on the ground, holding a small wooden stick and paddling at random, he was thinking about how much support and opposition he would get.
Most of the towns passed through were supportive, and a few were neutral, but these towns were isolated and not many in number.
He planned that after arriving in Sucheng, he would be able to find some small clan alliances that were opposing as soon as possible, preferably the kind with constant blood feuds, and stand on the side of one side, and he would not be able to fight Xia Cheng if he was far away anyway.
Xia Cheng's position in the past ten years is to be a-stirring stick, selling weapons, bronze, medicinal materials, medical skills and instructors and other strategic materials, first helping the powerful side to gain their support, and then using the geographical advantage to provoke contradictions and wars, suppressing powerful clans, supporting weak clans, and even when necessary, you can go into battle shirtless.
The Caohe area should be slowly encroached on, and there is no need for distant and close attacks, but the formation of a clan alliance centered on Xia Cheng with cultural aggression to maintain hegemony.
The best result is that this clan gathering can be mixed with a justifiable title similar to "Fang Bo", as the nominal brother of the cities in the Caohe area.
The worst outcome is that the membership is denied, and the status is accepted but not qualified to be elected as a leader and discuss major matters, and it is only a clan that pays tribute. I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years to develop little by little, and learn the story of Yin Shang Dynasty Xia and King Wu in the previous life.
Even if he made the preparations that could be made, the results were unpredictable, and it was difficult to wait for the results, and two days after the moon wheel gave the promise, Chen Jian could not bear the anxiety of waiting.
When he felt anxious, Yueyi also ushered in the second irritability of the year from the calm that he had easily obtained.
Early in the morning, when Jian Chen was about to go to talk to Yuelun again, a message came: the leader of Yueyi had woken up from his slumber.
The news of the leader's awakening immediately spread throughout the city, because he wanted people to know that he was awake, so the people of Yueyi knew, and even some people knew this news earlier than the moon ring, including Chen Jian, because someone came here early in the morning to tell him the news, and told Chen Jian that although the old leader had been asleep for a long time, his mind was very clear, and it seemed that his illness had been completely cured, which must be the result of the protection of the ancestors.
So Chen Jian immediately left the house with people and appeared in Yueyi City, never giving any of the real power in Yueyi a chance to be alone with him, including the moon ring that he had just promised him a few days ago.
After leaving the house, he immediately sent someone to visit the old leader of Yueyi with some small gifts for visiting the sick, and made a big fanfare for everyone in Yueyi to see, and asked people to bring their own blessings, hoping that the old leader of Yueyi would recover quickly.
The old leader also replied to Jian Chen as quickly as possible, thanking him for his visit and apologizing for the poor hospitality before.
At the same time, the people who stayed in the room also ran to tell Jian Chen: "Ji Xia, the people of the Moon Wheel went to look for you at the place where we lived, not long after you left. ”
"What did they say?"
"No, they didn't stop after making sure you left early in the morning, just let me tell you they were coming. If you know, send someone to see him, he has something important to discuss with you. ”
The person who returned the report repeated the words as they were, including the expressions of the people at the time.
Whether Jian Chen heard the news or not did not depend on his ears, but on his attitude. Sending someone to contact the moon wheel is to hear it and want to hear it. If you don't send someone, you won't hear it, or you don't want to hear it.
Jian Chen felt that the moon wheel was a little redundant, and after knowing the news that he would leave early in the morning, he should have understood that he had made a choice.
This was the first time he had taken sides in these days, and before that, he and Yuelun had only used each other to take advantage of each other, but they had not colluded or explicitly expressed their support.
Because the moon wheel had enough advantages before, at least it seemed that the victory was already in hand, so there was no need to stand in line at that time, just need to know each other.
But this time, although Jian Chen hadn't met the old leader of Yueyi yet, and some of the stories he had heard were all good names like Rang Xian, but the fact that he was able to wake up from his slumber was enough to explain the problem.
What's even more terrifying is that he was able to spread the news of his awakening as soon as he woke up.
A leader who dares to fall asleep and can wake up must be a leader who is extremely confident that he can control the situation. Otherwise, you will never wake up after falling asleep.
Chen Jian felt that something was wrong before, judging from the reputation of those Rang Xian and the like, he thought that his heart was too dark, but now it seems that this is not the case, on the contrary, he thinks a little less.
While hiding from the moon wheel in the city to show his attitude to the old leader, the entourage is also frantically gathering news.
This time the news didn't need to be deliberately asked, the whole Yueyi was like a drop of water falling into the boiling grease, and crackling discussions were resounding everywhere, hot and restless.
Soon, the people of Xia City heard what they wanted to hear and came back one after another.
"What have you heard?"
"I heard that the old leader didn't wake up by himself, but someone in Yueyi found herbs after divination and let him wake up."
"But the diviner is not the moon wheel, but another person, a man of great fame, who was once elected by the old chief as the next leader, but he refused."
"Yes, his name is Moon Falcon, and he is the fatherless child I am talking about, and it is said that his mother dreamed that she had eaten a bird to get to him. Before the old leader elected him as the successor leader, he was already very famous in Yueyi, and his divination was very accurate. Starting from the person who managed the sumac tree, he did everything he was assigned to do very convincingly, and he always looked at the stars at night, it is said that he ...... It is said that he has a pair of falcon-like eyes that can see far away, so he can also do divination, but divination is still slightly inferior to the moon ring. He is also very good on weekdays, and he is very loved by the clan. ”
"I also heard that he was almost killed after divining the herbs, but no one knew about his divination until then...... Everybody's spreading the ...... It is said that Yueyi is proficient in divination, except for the moon falcon, there is only the moon ring......"
Several people chattered about the news they heard, some true and some false, and even some were the conjectures of the Yueyi people.
But true or not, these rumors bring to mind a terrible truth.
Since the ability of the moon falcon in divination is not as good as that of the moon ring, why is the result of the moon wheel divination a big murderer? Why didn't the moon wheel find the herbs that could revive the old leader?
Since the news of the moon falcon's divination was not told to anyone, why was he almost killed when he went to collect medicine? Who else can divinate this news except the moon ring?
Yuelun did bite his finger and swore that he would not be the leader in this life, even if everyone elected him, he would resign, but ...... But the Moon Falcon had already resigned a long time ago, and it was personally elected by the old leader. No matter how you look at it, the moon wheel was forced at that time, but the moon falcon really gave up.
This is a very simple inference, and it is also the inference of most Yueyi people, because these inferences and rumors are so consistent that the first reaction will be like this without much thought.
Chen Jian looked at the place where the leader of Yueyi lived, and was shocked, he was still complaining that he was thinking too darkly, but now he saw that he was still thinking too shallowly.
Each of these rumors is fatal, because the old leader of the Yueyi has an incomparable prestige of the Moon Ring, which determines the power of these rumors. (To be continued.) )
