Along the way, the mountain fire gradually extinguished, originally the mountain fire is not so easy to extinguish, especially in the autumn may burn for dozens of days, but this valley where you can collect "medicine" is in a good location, the downwind direction is a wetland, and the fire finally stopped spreading.

The medicine was originally used to cure diseases, but it became a cover for killing people here, Chen Jian felt that the girl's luck was really good, if she hadn't led someone to pass by, maybe it wouldn't have been a fire problem, maybe she would have been stabbed to death with a stone spear and thrown into the beast's den...... Although they were all dead, the girl who was burned to death by fire might still be considered an irresistible force of nature, so that before she died, she would see that it was a familiar person who killed her, and she was shocked and resentful.

As for the fact that he and his clan were almost burned to death, Chen Jian didn't care, because he didn't die, as long as he didn't die, then he would continue to talk and laugh with a kind smile, after all, the target was not himself, he was just a pond fish that was affected.

Whoever is the leader, Jian Chen will smile at whomever he wants. As for the fact that this leader is a good guy or a bad guy in some moral sense, he doesn't care.

Leaving Xia Cheng to finally see the power struggle, and the power struggle appeared in this era of this world, Chen Jian was not shocked.

The struggle for power almost always accompanied the rudiments of classes and states.

Even the Zen concession system of the praised clan alliance is the result of a power struggle, and several clans are united for reasons such as defending against foreigners, controlling waters, building river embankments, etc., and there must always be a single person to rule the clans.

The so-called Zen Rang means that we all support you when you become the leader, work hard, and when you die, our powerful clan leaders will also have a chance.

This kind of farce is constantly circulating in the history of China and foreign countries in the previous life, and the Yuan Datou era is just a reproduction of the story of Yao wanting to pass on his son Danzhu and being replaced by Shun, and passing it on to his son, but as soon as his subordinates heard it, they hehe: We support you as president, and we can do it when you die, how do I know who your son is when you pass it on to my son?

This struggle for rights takes different forms.

When there is not a clan alliance but a single surname, the struggle is waged between relatives with the same surname, and even if blood succession is established, it has to go through a long transition from brother to brother, and then to descendants, because brothers are always older than sons and have more rights.

The decentralised coalition of cities staged another deformed struggle: the sage of the fallen cherry blossom god axe with a similar power structure wanted to be emperor, because the assassins were not qualified to shout the slogan of killing the solitary cultivator until Lincoln, and before World War II, the legislators were still attacking Roosevelt for expanding the power of government as Mussolini and Hitler.

This different form of expression blinds many people, but they do not see the essence of it through the phenomenon, the conflict of interests, that is, the so-called variant version of the generalized class struggle: they are all sharing the cake, and the difference is nothing more than the division between different classes? Or dog-eat-dog between the same class? Or through foreign wars, with the slogan of the nation, so that the people of the lower classes inside can also get a little bit of foreign soup?

What kind of situation is in Yuecheng, Chen Jian doesn't know, and he doesn't even know if Yuecheng is the name, but he just calls it that.

He didn't quite believe that the leader of a city-state that had entered the rudiments of a class society would be so simple, so he was just waiting and watching, not wanting to get burned.

"This time I went to Moon City, and none of you should discuss the fact that you were almost burned to death by the fire. I brought you out, you are all people I trust, and you are all very young, just like the sun in the morning, Xia Cheng depends on you after all. ”

The group was secretly happy in their hearts, and Qi claimed that they no longer discussed this matter on the road, but talked about what they saw and heard along the way.

When he finally saw the busy people, Chen Jian knew that he was only twenty or thirty miles away from his destination, because without carriages and horses, the range of people's activities could only be within thirty miles of the city.

I found a stream to wash my body, my clothes were torn, and it was full of dust, so I simply washed it by the river, and a group of people waited naked for the sun to dry.

Before the clothes were completely dry, they heard a commotion in the distance, although these people were forbidden by Chen Jian not to discuss the fire, but it did not mean that they had forgotten, so they rushed to the shore and took up weapons.

Soon more than thirty people appeared in the woods, unarmed, led by a man in his thirties, who must have been out of work for a long time as could be seen from the color of his skin, at least not very tanned.

The man's body is slender and well-proportioned, and according to the aesthetics of this era, he is a beautiful man, with a trusting smile on his face, and his posture is quite generous and strong.

"You're from Summer City, aren't you? I heard from my people that when I saw you on horseback, I guessed it. I am the priest of the city, the moon wheel, who has come to meet you. ”

This wheel, of course, is not the wheel of the wheel, but the wheel of the potter's wheel, the appearance of the potter's wheel is far earlier than the wheel, without the potter's wheel it is difficult to quickly knead the perfect pottery, the wheel of Xiacheng uses the ideogram of the potter's wheel, from the name you can guess that the priest's parents should be the potters of the city.

Jian Chen hurriedly covered his clothes, he never expected that this meeting would be like this, he and the people accompanying him were all disheveled.

The people of Moon City had obviously experienced a civilized life for a long time, and instead of laughing, they turned around under the order of the priest and let Jian Chen and the others get dressed.

After dressing, the salute was very polite, Yuelun looked at the clothes of Chen Jian and the others with some suspicion, and said suspiciously: "What are you ......?"

"On the way here, I encountered a wildfire and almost burned to death."

"Wildfires? Is there thunder and lightning at this time, how can there be a wildfire? Where did you meet? ”

"It's in the valley over there, and I met your chief's daughter, but fortunately people are fine."

When Yuelun heard this, his face was full of panic, and he shouted: "It's broken! Yuemei went to collect medicine for the leader, and encountered a mountain fire, so what should I do with the herbs? Where is she? ”

"Still waiting there."

"The divination only said that there would be herbs, but it didn't say that there would be wildfires...... In such weather, this fire is definitely not a heavenly fire, could it be set by people? ”

Yuelun sighed, turned around and said, "You guys hurry up and pick up Yuemei back, and the rest of the people will go back to the city with me first to see who is not there!" The old leader is seriously ill, and I'm afraid someone will do something bad at this time! ”

When the few people behind heard this, they left in a hurry, and Yuelun apologized to Jian Chen quite embarrassedly: "Something really happened, a few of you will go back to the city with me first and change into clothes." The old leader is seriously ill and cannot entertain you, and I hope you will not be surprised. ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "It's nothing, I was about to visit the leader of Moon City." You go about your business first. ”

No matter how much Chen Jian said, he didn't ask more, and the people accompanying him didn't talk about it, but they all had doubts in their hearts: Could it be that the priest Yuelun was not the mastermind this time? Was that fire lit by someone else? ”

Chen Jian didn't even think about it, whether it had nothing to do with him or not, maintained his due posture, chatted with Yuelun for a few words, praised the contribution of the Yue clan to the calendar, and asked if Yue Cheng had received an invitation from the Su clan.

"Ji Xia also went to Sucheng? Originally, the leader was ready to set off, but he didn't want to suddenly fall ill......"

Jian Chen sighed and expressed his grief, and then asked, "Wheel, what does the leader think about this winter hunt?" ”

"Yes. He said that it would be excellent to be able to put an end to the dispute between brothers and relatives this time. The flock needs a sheep, otherwise the flock will be weakened more and more by floods, droughts, and barbarism. I once heard Ji Song talk about Ji Xia's victory over the grassland tribe, and although I have never been to Xia City, I can also think that Xia City must be a big city. Is the E clan near you? ”

"That's right."

"The old chief had seen Eyue when he was young, and it was a long time ago that our clan was in charge of the calendar with several clans. Ji Xia should not have been born at that time, but I have also heard the story of your clan moving away from both sides of the river a long time ago, and it is time to return to your kinship. ”

Jian Chen thanked him, this thank you showed his attitude, and he also communicated with Yuelun again. Yuelun said this, in addition to real appreciation, Chen Jian probably also saw a lot of people accompanying him, so he judged his attitude towards this winter hunt.

Although there are not many people he brings, every one of them is very strong, and there are war horses and bronze soldiers, and they have been trained for a long time, so they are naturally different. Although it was only selected to save face for Xia Cheng, this face was not something that could be held up by any city.

Yuelun looked at the bronze sword worn by Jian Chen, and after a few words of approval, he sighed: "Xia City is far away in the northwest to resist the grassland barbarians, but now here there are some tribes and those barbarians who have come together, forgetting the oath of the year. Even in our city, there are many people who do not support this meeting of the leaders of the winter hunt, hey......"

sighed, seemingly helpless, but he was also telling Chen Jian that he was for himself and against others.

In the subsequent dialogue and Q&A, Jian Chen roughly heard all kinds of situations in Yuecheng, although they are all the same surname, but they are not the same as the Acropolis, many people in Yuecheng are not the same family bloodline, but the same surname.

The power structure is that the chief is responsible, and there are people below who are in charge of various affairs, in fact, it is also the power structure of the entire city that is supported by each family, and the leader is not hereditary, but needs to be jointly elected by the various families in the city.

Chen Jian estimated that this situation was deliberately done by the old chief, and in this era, both men and women continued their bloodline, and even more than half of the tribes still used women as the basis for the continuation of bloodline.

Since the leader of Moon City found that it was difficult for him to have children, it was better to disperse his power as much as possible, form a balance and constraint on each other, and even deliberately let his daughter not touch these messy things at all, because the more she understood, the faster she died, especially before she had absolutely overwhelming strength.

Anyway, if you only want your own bloodline to continue in the world, it is a good choice to do so, so that the most competitive and powerful one will be the most difficult to become the leader because of the constraints and precautions of the rest, especially if there are many intrigues with each other, it is better to simply elect the daughter of the leader who is ignorant of the world than to choose a strong leader.

With all kinds of malicious speculation, Chen Jian stepped into Moon City, he wanted to see a world full of small and fresh three generations ruling the world, but this was just a fantasy, especially after stepping out of Xia City and looking at the real world.
