Chapter Ninety-Four: The Walled Gate is Attacked
Thinking of this, Chen Sheng found Qi Long, who was drinking with Wei Qi and Fan Yuan, and carefully inquired about Lingzhu'er.
The dragon was refreshing, and he finished explaining the story of Lingzhuer in a few words. However, after Chen Sheng listened to it, it was like a fantasy.
Lingzhu'er is not the granddaughter of the patriarch. Ten years ago, the old patriarch went out hunting and picked it up in a village that had been captured by the enemy.
That village is also a branch of the Yue people. He had a personal enmity with another village, so after the capture was over, the entire village was slaughtered. The more barbaric people are, the most important thing to kill is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Lingzhu'er was only three years old at that time, and was hidden in a cave in the mountain behind the cottage, and escaped a catastrophe. For this reason, the people have a lot of opinions. Because according to the rules of the Yue people, taking in the enemies of other villages is equivalent to taking over the hatred, and the hatred will not end to death.
At that time, the old patriarch was not old, and he was still strong in his early fifties. Because both sons died in the war, he insisted that the little girl stay and be raised as his granddaughter. Under the majesty of the old patriarch, the opponents of the clan did not dare to squeak, and since then Lingzhu'er has been left in the village.
Lingzhu'er's performance is also terrifying. When she was five years old, she suddenly disappeared from the cottage one day, and the old patriarch went crazy, and mobilized the whole village to search all over the mountain, and finally found the traces of Lingzhuer in the depths of the back mountain, and Lingzhuer was with a giant ape. When everyone saw Lingzhu'er, she was sitting cross-legged on the shoulders of the giant ape, and the giant ape was holding the branch with her arm and swinging one swing after another, making Lingzhu'er giggle.
The hair on the giant ape's body is gray and white, and at a glance he knows that he is not young, such a huge giant ape, which scared everyone a lot, and the dragon at that time was young and bold, and when he saw the giant ape that was nearly a foot high, his legs and stomach trembled slightly. When the giant ape noticed someone approaching, he immediately put down the spirit bead and disappeared into the forest.
The Lingzhu'er giant ape slipped away, but she wept incessantly. The old patriarch coaxed the old man for a long time and didn't let Lingzhu'er stop crying. This strange thing surprised the clansmen, who thought that Lingzhu'er was protected by the mountain god, and began to be full of awe for her. Later, the number of disappearances of Lingzhu'er appeared frequently, and after several searches, the old patriarch could always find that this Lingzhu'er was with the giant ape. In addition, the old patriarch also found that in addition to the giant ape, there are also many fierce beasts and giant snakes between the mountains and forests, and they are very afraid of Lingzhu'er when they encounter them, and they never dare to understand the thoughts of harm. This surprised the old patriarch. I don't understand, what's going on.
Lingzhu'er was a little older, and began to help the old patriarch hunting, and every time she was brought in, the old patriarch's harvest was particularly large, and the clansmen were more convinced that Lingzhu'er was protected by the mountain god, and in her existence, everyone regarded her as a saint to support. Lingzhu'er's performance also surprised everyone, walking between the mountains and forests, the speed came and went like the wind, and the strength was much greater than that of ordinary strong men. Lingzhu'er's ability also attracted the attention of other villages, and finally even the king of Dongou heard of his name, and sent a messenger to ask the village to sacrifice Lingzhu'er. However, the old patriarch regarded Lingzhu'er as a pearl in his palm, how could he hand Lingzhu'er into the hands of the Dongou King, who had been squeezing the Yue clan for decades, and refused the Dongou King's request. This is also the reason why the Dongou King crusaded against this existence.
After the old patriarch was injured, Lingzhuer was very anxious, and after the witch doctor in the clan was helpless against the old patriarch's injury, Lingzhuer ran to the mountains, saying that he was looking for elixir and came back to treat the old patriarch, and it was more than ten days to go to the emergency. In the end, the clansmen couldn't wait, she still didn't come back, and under the persuasion of some people with ulterior motives, the village elders decided to hold a funeral ceremony before the old patriarch died, and then put the old patriarch on the hanging coffin and re-elect the patriarch.
This person with ulterior motives, although Qi Long did not say it, thinking of what he saw and heard at the gate of existence during the day, it was not difficult for Chen Sheng to deduce who this person was. Chen Sheng's eyes scanned the crowd, trying to find out the location of the Shen Sheng who was trying to kill him today.
The Yue people present were reveling, the women sang songs with Yue characteristics around the bonfire and danced the unique dance steps of the Yue people, the men drank wine and ate meat, and from time to time there would be drunk men, who came over with wine bowls to toast Chen Sheng and others. But Chen Sheng looked around carefully, but he didn't find Ben Sheng's figure, in addition, Chen Sheng also found that the few men who were helping with Ben Sheng today were nowhere to be seen.
Chen Sheng felt a little uneasy in his heart. In this case, Ben Sheng and his cronies were not present, and they had some dangerous arrangements. Along the way, he listened to a lot of Wei Qi's stories about the Yue people, who had not been much to the countries of the Central Plains in the struggle for power, and their methods were even more bloody. If the patriarch in the village can't convince the people, someone will inevitably come out to challenge him, kill him, and replace him. This is already a relatively civilized method, and even more unscrupulous, anyway, everything is done in order to be able to snatch the right to speak in the village. Ben Sheng hopes that the old patriarch will die early, so that he can ascend to the position of patriarch, and maybe he will start a fight.
Chen Sheng turned sideways, and was about to ask the dragon beside him, where Ben Sheng went. But at this moment, there was a shout of killing at the gate of the village!
"Not good!" Chen Sheng's heart froze slightly, and he secretly said Could it be that I guessed, right?
The Yue people were all extremely strong and good at fighting, and when they heard the shouts of killing, they did not panic, but quickly picked up the weapons in their hands, pinned the wine bag to their waists, and rushed out to kill.
The Vietnamese did not pay attention to tactics in warfare, and basically fought on their own, killing and injuring the enemy. Although there is no discipline to speak of, they all move forward bravely, and with a fierce battle, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
When the women and children in the village heard the shouts of killing, they didn't show any cowardice, obviously seeing too much of this situation. Chen Sheng was very surprised to see it.
However, Chen Sheng heard a hint of bad taste from the shouting and killing. Because this shouting of killing came from all directions, that is, the whole village has been surrounded, and if there is a traitor, the enemy has even touched into the village!
"Ben Sheng took the people of nine villages and eighteen villages to break through the gate of the village!" A man covered in blood stumbled back from the front of the gate, shouting as hard as he could, reminding his people to pay attention. The men who rushed out first couldn't help but be awe-struck, and as soon as the gate of the village broke, they knew what it meant.
