Lingnan's forces were all expanding their forces before the imperial army moved further south. The territory of the Yue people has been further compressed, and there is only one way in front of the Yue people, that is, migration, and only by going to the southwest or the islands in the South China Sea, where the local land is relatively weak, can they have the possibility to complete their own development.

But new problems have arisen, as migration will change the habits of the tribes, and they will also have to compete with other ethnic minorities for territory and resources. If you don't migrate, you wait to be beaten passively, and if you migrate, it means that you are at a loss for the future.

The Bai Yue people are cleaning up the battlefield, packing up the corpses of their relatives and scattered daily necessities, and the other Yue people who have chased the Dikui army here are also helping the Bai Yue people. The Yue family is a family, they can unite against the Dikui in times of crisis, and they can rebuild their homes together without suspicion after the crisis.

Several Yue visitors invited He Lu to the side to discuss things, and Liu Yu guessed that these Yue people should be discussing with He Lu about the Bai Yue He Clan. Just as Bai Yue wants to annex Huang Yue, the other Yue tribes, seeing that Bai Yue is weak, will also put forward the idea of joining the clan, and then Bai Yue will become history, and a fused Yue tribe will be established.

Liu Yu didn't have the heart to care about these, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was already bright, Liu Yu asked the soldiers to look for the bodies of the missing soldiers everywhere, whether they were dead or alive, Liu Yue didn't want the soldiers who came out with him to be lonely ghosts here, even if they died, they had to bring the soldiers' ashes back to Guanzhong.

After two hours of searching, the bodies of the missing soldiers were finally found, and Liu Yu had the bodies of the two lost soldiers carried back to the camp where they were stationed last night, and set fire to the bodies. Every soldier watched in silence as the corpses of their companions gradually shrouded in flames, even the women of the Huang Yue tribe. And Miel was also watching this happen.

In a few days. Liu Yu and the Yue people witnessed too many lives and deaths. Suddenly, Liu Yu also felt homesick. In the face of death, people always think of the most inseparable family affection, and now Liu Yu's heart is most concerned about his wife who is far away in Jiankang City. In two or three months, Xu Xuanzhu will give birth, and Liu Yu will officially take root in this world.

Same death, different treatment. Liu Yu's affection for the soldiers was very deep, and the firelight faded. The soldiers wrapped the ashes of the two soldiers in cloth from the ashes, separated them with rain-proof tarpaulins, and divided them into several parts. In this way, even if there is any danger on the road in the future, if people are separated or there are casualties, the living people will try to bring back the ashes of their companions.

The Yue people had never seen cremation, so Mier and Duo Lin didn't quite understand what Liu Yu was doing, but the two women could feel the sincerity of these people. Originally, the Yue people thought that Liu Yue, as the leader of the caravan, would not care too much about the guards below, but now they knew about it. It turned out that Liu Yu also cared about the life and death of the caravan guards.

"Fu Dangjia, you burned the bones...... Why ...... With these things? Mill stepped forward. looked at Liu Yu and asked.

Liu Yu hung his ashes around his neck and said lightly: "This is the habit of our Central Plains people, the fallen leaves return to the roots, although I can't bring their people back, and I can't bring back their bones, but I can bring their ashes back to their relatives, so that their relatives can rest assured, and they can also be buried in their homes." ”

Miel didn't quite understand, but she didn't speak again. At this time, someone from Bai Yue's side also came over and asked Liu Yu to go over and talk.

Last night, Liu Yu led people to rescue Bai Yue, He Lu was deeply grateful, and after seeing Liu Yu, He Lu repeatedly expressed his gratitude. But Liu Yu's attitude was very cold, Liu Yu was going to leave, but who knew that Lu Dao lost two soldiers because of last night's incident, and they didn't have to die.

Among the other people from the Yue tribe, there are also Daqiu, and there are respected elders in the clan, He Lu has already discussed things with them, and they just convey it to Liu Yu.

He Lu said: "Fu is in charge, we are ready to migrate to Zhaoluo together, relying on the Miao people's village to make a living. If you don't mind, we can go all the way. ”

"No need." Liu Yu refused, "We are businessmen, we are going to Yizhou this time, and we don't want to make any more trouble." If there is a chance in the future, I am willing to be a guest in Baiyue's village. ”

He Lu sighed, he knew that because of his rudeness to Liu Yu before, Liu Yu had completely died to them. He Lu didn't force it anymore, and the other people from the Yue village came over to add a few words to Liu Yu, according to those Yue people, they were willing to buy all Liu Yu's medicinal materials in exchange for Liu Yu's peers.

Liu Yu did not go south for the purpose of doing business at all, so he refused without thinking.

The Yue people saw that Liu Yue was unwilling to compromise, and it was inconvenient to be reluctant, so they had to say goodbye with wine. And wine is also one of the etiquettes of the Yue family to send off guests. Liu Yu took the wine glass, did not drink it, but sprinkled it on the ground as if to pay tribute to the dead, which made the faces of these powerful people of the Yue tribe quite embarrassed, Liu Yu turned around and left with the soldiers, returned to the higher camp, and prepared to set off for Yizhou.

At this time, Mi Er hadn't left yet, and when she saw Liu Yu coming back, she knew that she couldn't force Liu Yu to stay. Mier wasn't reluctant, but her face showed reluctance.

"Master Fu, will we meet again in the future?" Mill asked a question that wasn't a problem.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Maybe, whether it is the Yue people, the Miao people, or the Han people, they are both the people of China." In the future, when I have time, I will also visit the south. ”

Miel had a forced smile on her face, and Doreen said something else to her.

Under the gloomy sky, Liu Yu sorted out his thoughts, asked people to sort out the goods on the horses, and set off again with Huang Yue's people. Originally, the only four men in the Huangyue clan were also ready to join the side of Liu Yu's caravan guards, but Liu Yu did not let them use muskets, but gave them weapons to take advantage of. A group of more than 70 people, like a winding snake, set off all the way to the northwest, which was the direction of Yizhou.

And Mi Er looked at the back of Liu Yu and his party for a long time, and then he was reluctant to go down the mountain to Bai Yue's camp. Bai Yue will join forces with other Yue villagers, and later migrate to Zhaoluo, she knows that she will not have the opportunity to meet Liu Yu and Duo Lin again in the future.

Because of the delay in the affairs of the Yue people, Liu Yu's itinerary was dragged down, and the time that could have been back and forth was less than half of it. Liu Yu didn't stop on the road, all the way to Yizhou, counting the days, by the ninth day of the sixth month, they had arrived less than fifty miles away from Yizhou.

Liu Yu did not enter Yizhou City immediately, because Yizhou was the southern border of the Dikui Territory and was a neutral trading city. There are ethnic minorities and Han people, and there are many unknown dangers mixed here, so Liu Yu must be prepared in advance.

Huang Yue's wife and children, Liu Yue, were first placed in the mountains, and Liu Yue was ready to take them with him when he was ready to return. Now what Liu Yu has to do is to enter Yizhou City to contact Liu Liniang, and use Liu Liniang as an intermediary to get in touch with the Miao people, which is the real purpose of Liu Yu's southward journey.
