Chapter 368: New Tricks
The story that the Zhu family is the descendant of the god of fire has been passed down for a long time, and the barbarians are convinced of this, so the Zhu family can dominate the barbarian tribes. It stands to reason that since they are descendants of the god of fire, they should all be counted as descendants of the god of fire, but in fact this is not the case. The god of fire is the patron saint of the barbarians, and his position in the minds of the barbarians is irreplaceable, and the descendants of the god of fire are the spokesmen of the god of fire in the world, and can exercise supreme power instead of the god of fire. Therefore, there can be many descendants of the god of fire, but there can only be one, or even one, of the descendants of the god of fire. And no one stipulates that the descendants of the god of fire must be the people of the Zhu family, but everyone takes it for granted that since the Zhu family is the descendant of the god of fire, it is easier for the descendants of the god of fire to appear in the Zhu family.
Since Zhu Rong is a descendant of the Fire God, then she can have supreme power among the barbarian tribes, although she has never exercised such power. The reason why Zhu Rong is considered to be the descendant of the God of Fire is only because of the legend of the Zhu family, when she was born, the room was full of red light. And what the scene was at that time, outsiders naturally had no way of knowing, everything was passed on by the people of the Zhu family, which became a breakthrough for Meng Yu to question the identity of the heir of Zhu Rong Fire God.
After listening to Meng Shu's words, all the patriarchs were skeptical, but there was one person who was unmoved, and that was the vulture bone. The vulture was convinced that Zhu Rong was the descendant of the Fire God, or he didn't want to doubt it at all. The vulture bone was more willing to believe that the lives of himself and the three thousand vine armor soldiers were saved by Zhu Rong. If Zhu Rong wasn't the descendant of the Fire God, would it be necessary for her to save the lives of her own people? I'm afraid that because of Zhu Ding's serious injury, it's too late for her to hate herself.
The vulture glanced at Meng Shu contemptuously, and asked rhetorically: "The fact that Mrs. Zhurong is the descendant of the Fire God, no one in the entire barbarian clan knows, and no one knows. Since Patriarch Meng knew that this was the Zhu family's nonsense, why didn't he say it sooner or later, but when she was protecting the clansmen, you had to say it? ”
These words were asking Meng Shu's sore spot. He certainly couldn't say that in the past. If he marries Zhu Rong as his wife, that is, he marries the descendant of the Fire God as his wife, then he is a well-deserved king among the entire barbarians, how can he jump out to prove that Zhu Rong has no divine power at all.
Listening to the vulture bone's rhetorical question, Meng Yu hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "I'll only say one thing, since Zhu Rong is the descendant of the Fire God, who has ever seen her exert her divine power?" She may not have any other divine powers, but it should be no problem to create fire without the help of tools, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Ah Hao and the three knots of the golden ring were already whispering. The vulture snorted coldly and said, "Meng Huo, you are a strong man!" ”
Meng Yu saw that the vulture bones had fallen into his own routine, and couldn't help but continue to press: "What's so difficult about this? She is a descendant of the god of fire, so she should have this ability, otherwise, what is the difference between this descendant of the god of fire and ordinary people? ”
After a pause, Meng Shu continued: "I only mention two conditions, if Zhu Rong can do it, I will respect her as the queen of the barbarians. ”
The vulture said in a deep voice: "Okay, what are the two conditions?" ”
Meng Shu sneered: "First, she wants to show the divine power of the Fire God's descendants. Second, she wanted to persuade Liu Xin to allow the barbarians of the five counties in Nanzhong to establish a country of their own. If she can do these two things, I will not only respect her as the queen, but also capture Liu Dan, Yonghong, and Gao Ding with my own hands and dedicate them to her feet! ”
As soon as he said this, all the patriarchs looked at each other, not to mention whether Liu Xin would listen to Zhu Rong's words and promise to let the barbarians establish themselves as a country, just asking Zhu Rong to show her divine power, I'm afraid she didn't finish it.
The vulture was stunned for a moment, and said, "Meng Huo, have you made it clear that you are going to fight Liu Xin to the end?" It's just that your Meng family is going to die by yourself, do you still want to drag everyone into the water? ”
Meng Shu laughed and said, "Whether you want to continue to fight with Liu Xin is a later story, let's find out whether the girl of the Zhu family is the descendant of the God of Fire first, lest you all be bewitched by her." Hum! ”
After speaking, Meng Shu flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked out of the tent.
In the big tent of the Han army, Liu Xin had just sat down, and saw Guo Jia flashing outside the tent door, knowing that he had something to discuss with him, but it was difficult for Zhu Rong to speak next to him, so he turned his head and said: "Rong'er, there is no war today, you have to go and see your sisters, I don't know if they are used to it in the barracks." ”
Zhu Rong took a beating to Liu Xin's side, pouted, and said, "A few of them have suffered since childhood, and they are used to it everywhere, so what is there to see." ”
Liu Xin sank her face, patted her plump buttocks lightly, and said: "The barracks are full of men, and a few of them are inconvenient here, you, the elder sister, should care about them, and it's good to chat with them." ”
Zhu Rong reluctantly stood up and pouted, "How old are they children, what do I have to talk about with them." ”
Although reluctant, Zhu Rong still walked out of the tent door and walked towards Zhu Yan's tent, in fact, that tent was originally where the five of them lived together, but she always stayed in Liu Xin's tent and refused to go back.
Guo Jia, who was hiding not far away, saw Zhu Rong walking out, quickly slipped into the big tent, and said to Liu Xin: "Lord, it's really not easy to see you alone now. ”
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Come, Fengxiao, sit down and say, have you found a way to deal with the Meng family?" ”
Guo Jia sat down opposite Liu Xin, took out the defense map from his arms, spread it on the table, pointed to the camp in the middle and said: "Lord, my subordinates think that the only way to break the Meng family is to attack with fire!" ”
Liu Xin frowned and said: "The camp of the Meng family is in the middle, if it is attacked by fire, other camps will come to the rescue, and it is really not easy to annihilate the Meng family." ”
"The fire under his subordinates was not placed in the Meng family, but in other camps. When the time comes, all the camps will be on fire together, and they will not be able to take care of themselves, where will they save the Meng family. Guo Jia said with a smile, "Lord, please look, there is a forest behind the Meng family's camp. This forest is a barrier behind the Meng family's camp, but it also separates the Meng family's camp from the several camps behind. To his left is Lu Kai's camp, the lord can make people sneak into Lu Kai's camp and the woods behind him to ambush him, and make an appointment to wait for the fire in Meng's village and suddenly kill, then Meng can be captured with a drum. ”
When Guo Jia said this, he glanced up at Liu Xin and said, "It's just that the lurking people and the people who set the fire need to be very clever and cautious, but this is a bit difficult to do." ”
Liu Xin stood up, paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and said decisively: "Fengxiao, although your trick is a bit risky, it is also worth trying. You don't have to worry about these candidates, I have my own considerations. ”
Suddenly, I heard a burst of silvery laughter from outside the tent. Guo Jia hurriedly got up and said, "I think Mrs. Zhurong is back, and her subordinates will retire first." ”
Liu Xin shouted repeatedly: "Wait, take this picture away." ”
Guo Jia found that the arming map was still spread on the table, and quickly rolled it up and stuffed it into his sleeve, then he embarrassedly arched his hand at Liu Xin and bowed out.
Because it was daytime, Liu Xin's tent door was not put down, only to see a red shadow flashing, and Zhu Rong had already walked in. Liu Xin asked in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon?" What about them? ”
"Everyone has said it, and I don't have anything to say to them." Zhu Rong sat down, looked at Liu Xin and smiled slyly, and said, "Oh, I understand, you asked me to see if they were fake, thinking about whether they were real." Anyway, sooner or later, it's all yours, why are you in such a hurry, didn't you say it, you have to be quiet at night lately, can't you do that? ”
Liu Xin said angrily: "Where do you want to go, I heard the laughter outside the tent, and thought you brought them all over, so I asked." ”
Zhu Rong took Liu Xin's hand, snuggled in his arms, and said softly: "Brother, which one of them do you want first, I don't mind." They really wanted to come with me just now, but you won't blame me if you let me run away, right? ”
Liu Xin was still thinking that she was going to hide from her to clear the Meng family, and she felt a little guilty in her heart, so she grabbed her shoulder and said, "Rong'er, there is something I want to tell you......"
Suddenly, I heard a soldier outside the tent say loudly: "Enlighten the lord, Nanzhong has sent someone to send a war letter, please decide on it!" ”
Zhu Rong sighed and said, "Brother, my clansmen are really endless, which makes you upset." ”
Liu Xin's heart moved, stroked her hair, and said: "It doesn't matter if I'm annoyed or not, it's just that this war is protracted, the soldiers are inevitably tired, and the daily consumption is also very huge......
Zhu Rong interrupted him and said, "Brother, I also heard that it takes a lot of money to fight, are you out of money?" If you don't have any money, sell all my silver jewelry. ”
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Silly girl, that's a gift I gave you, and you're willing to sell it?" ”
Zhu Rong waved his hand again and again, blushing and said: "People are not talking about those, they are talking about their own dowry." ”
Liu Xin was moved in her heart, and couldn't help hugging her tighter, and said, "How much can you sell those things for a few dollars?" Hehe, if Brother can't even get together this little money, how can he support this big family. I am worried not only about attrition, but also about the livelihood of people near the battlefield. Today I took a look, many people in order to escape the war, the crops are rotting in the ground, no one cares, this winter they are not happy! ”
Zhu Rong was thoughtful, silent for a moment and said, "Brother, did I embarrass you?" If it weren't for the scruples of hurting my people, you would have ended this war a long time ago, wouldn't you? ”
In fact, Liu Xin just wanted to lead Zhu Rong to think in that direction, after all, the matter of completely eliminating the Meng family would one day not be able to hide it, so it was better to let Zhu Rong accept such a result. Liu Xin saw that Zhu Rong's train of thought was gradually led to that key point, but he didn't immediately break it, but smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these things for now, let's see what new tricks Meng Shu has played?" ”
