Chapter Ninety-Three: Finding Out the News
The whole piece of Shou Wu was in the shape of a human, about a foot long, the size of his arm, and after being taken out of the cloth bag, it emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
Whatever is strange must have a strange effect. Chen Sheng knows the effect of Shou Wu, Shou Wu itself has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, removing stasis and invigorating the blood, and storing essence and blood, and gives the old patriarch whose body is already fragile to die at any time, and the effect is comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng!
Chen Sheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly took Lingzhu'er back to Zhuliao, personally cut off a section of Shou Wu, squeezed out the slurry and gave it to the old patriarch, and then instructed the clansmen to add the shouwu slag to the prescription he prescribed to boil the medicine and give it to the old patriarch to drink.
With such a period of Shouwu, Chen Sheng felt a lot more at ease in his heart, and he had a few more hopes for the old patriarch's recovery.
After the old patriarch drank the medicine, a trace of blood appeared on the pale old face, and his breathing slowly recovered from the extreme weakness and became even. The elders of the clan were pleasantly surprised.
Chen Sheng was very curious, where did this Lingzhu'er find such a miraculous medicine, and he was even more interested in Lingzhu'er's incomparably flexible skills. It's a pity that Lingzhu'er is very timid, and she refuses to talk to him at all, and has been staying by the old patriarch's side to take care of her. And Chen Sheng was also dragged to other places by the elders, and he was entertained.
The people of Yue are simple and simple, and they are very warm to their guests. Chen Sheng made great efforts to rescue the old patriarch, so most of the people in the entire Qianyue tribe were very grateful to him, and that night, the Qianyue people opened a bonfire to feast the guests.
The Yue clan still retains many primitive traditions, and after the distinguished guests come, the whole village sings and dances, and carnivals together.
For this kind of banquet, the happiest person is not Chen Sheng, but Fan Yuan. Because he loves meat, he is really a feast. In the south, you can eat wild game that you can't eat in the north.
The monkey brain is tender, the leopard fetus is delicious, and the elephant trunk is chewy; There are also charcoal-grilled grasshoppers, fried scorpions, and fragrant loaches...... They are all the most local snacks in South Vietnam. Chen Sheng was not very interested in these game, and some of them vaguely disappointed his appetite, but Fan Zhi enjoyed it and enjoyed eating it. Wei Qi was also very happy on the side, he used to walk in Yuedi, he was naturally no stranger to these foods, and it was the first time that he was treated as a distinguished guest, so he was naturally excited in his heart, drinking the spirits made from wild fruits, and laughing loudly with the Yue people next to him.
Chen Sheng did not forget the mission of his trip. When the wine was full, he naturally asked the half-drunk elders around him.
First of all, Chen Sheng asked Elder Duo why the old patriarch was injured so badly. In fact, he had already learned some about the conflicts between the Yue tribe and other tribes, but he had to divide the importance of the questions first, step by step.
The drunken Elder became excited when he heard this question. Talking about the cause of this.
Here's how it happened. Since the Yue people migrated to this place, they have repelled the infestation of other Yue people many times, occupied the most fertile place, multiplied, and gradually grew. The king of Dongou also took a fancy to the strength of the Yue clan, and tried his best to recruit the warriors of the Yue clan to his command, and ordered the Yue clan to migrate to the vicinity of Don'ou.
The Yue clan, who were inseparable from their homeland, naturally did not want to leave this fertile place, so they refused the order of the Dongou King. The Dongou King was furious, so the Yue clan was hit by the Dongou King for decades, so that the surrounding Yue Zhai launched an invasion war against it, and at the same time, when collecting taxes from each village, the Yue clan was the heaviest.
These Yue people endured. However, the Qin army advanced, and the king of Dongou ordered that each village under his rule must send a number of warriors to participate in the battle. However, in the treatment of the Yue clan, the king of Dongou strictly ordered that all men over the age of twelve and under the age of sixty must all go to war, in addition, they have to pay several times the taxes of other places, and at the same time, they have to recruit twenty beautiful women to the king of Dongou .
This practice of bullying people to the doorstep finally broke out among the Qianyue people, who had been grudging for decades, and the Qianyue tribe quickly organized a resistance to drive away the officials who collected taxes, and then fought a battle with the army sent by the Dongou King. What happened in the end, Chen Sheng had already learned from the mouth of Qi Long.
Chen Sheng nodded, seeing the contradiction between the Dongou King and the Yue clan, he felt that there was an opportunity in his heart, so he said: "The Dongou King is too deceitful, why don't the Yue clan defect to the Qin army and fight against this tyrant together?" ”
He glanced at Chen Sheng and said, "Although the king of Dongou is not virtuous, he is the lord of my Dongou Yue people, while the Qin people are always guests. And I heard that the Qin people are strong and strong, easy to kill and brutal, and there are too many rules. It's not in line with the temperament of our people, we don't like the Dongou King, we can resist, but if we don't like the Qin people, we can't beat them. ”
Hearing this, Chen Sheng was speechless for a while. There was still a slight annoyance in my heart. Of course, this anger was not directed at Piduo, but at Wei Qi. Because Wei Qi told him that in the eyes of this Yue people, there is no king and no father, and it is not the same life under whose rule. How do you know that a small elder in this village can tell a lot of truths.
What Elder Pack said was right. During the Qin army's southward advance, especially the Tuju that advanced towards the Lingnan area, in order to achieve the effect of quickly deterring the enemy, slaughtered many places along the way, and was called the butcher by the Yue people. His actions provoked greater resistance from the Yue people.
And that's just secondary. The Yue people live freely and loosely, but the Qin people's life is restricted by the law, and it is so difficult to govern the land of the Yue people with the law of the Qin people.
Chen Sheng sighed, the battle to conquer Lingnan did not know how many years it would take to succeed.
Of course, in order to refute the words of the Yue Duo, Chen Sheng also said the benefits of the Central Plains, such as being able to bring a lot of advanced technology to the Yue people and promote their living standards, which also made the Duo yearn for it.
In the end, Chen Sheng pulled to Wuyi Pass again and asked if there was any path to bypass Wuyi Pass. In the previous verbal temptation, Chen Sheng knew that the Yue clan had no intention of betraying the Dongou King, so he was very cautious in his words, and at the same time poured a lot of bad wine into him.
The drunken Lota was obviously a little incongruous in his tongue, and he stammered, "The path? This has to ask Lingzhu'er, only she climbs on the mountain all day long, the mountains near here, without her, where she doesn't know......" As he spoke, Elder Duo tilted his head and fell asleep on the ground.
Hearing this, Chen Sheng couldn't help but be a little more interested in Lingzhu'er, a little girl. How can a little girl know the road in the mountains? After thinking about it, Chen Sheng decided that he had to inquire about the news about Lingzhu'er.
