Chapter 521: The Portrait of Civil Strife

When Guan Mu returned to the inner room, Han Mo was carefully observing the map of Shenshan City, and when he saw Guan Mu coming in, Han Mo had already asked, "Big shopkeeper, ...... Could it be in the altar? ”

Guan Mu came over and sat down, and said, "Luo Rixu is the inner priest of the altar, and there are only two places in the Divine Mountain City, one is the Wind Palace where the chief of the Wind Country is located, and the other is the altar where the high priest is located. The chief has the chief's servants, and the inner priest is only responsible for serving the high priest in the altar, and since Luo Rixu dares to say that the person's food and drink belong to him, then it has been proved that the person you are looking for must be in the altar. ”

Han Mo nodded and smiled: "I was still worried about how to find his whereabouts before, but I didn't expect that such a big problem would be solved by the big shopkeeper in an understatement!" ”

Guan Mu waved his hand and smiled: "Pass the prize." It was an understatement to get this news from his mouth, but in order to serve this Lord Fengsi well, the old man also worked hard. I thought it would be left for a big role in the future, but I didn't expect to use it for your things today. ”

Han Mo put down the map and arched his hand: "Big shopkeeper." I......! ”

Guan Mu had already waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say much. If you know the general location of your friend, you will have a goal and will not act unplanned. Merely...... The altar is one of the two major buildings in the sacred mountain city, the place is not small, although the sacred mountain city is not big, but the place of the sacred altar, there are quite a lot of houses, we do not know which house it is, and ...... At this time, it is not good to ask Luo Rixu again. After all, although this guy is greedy for money, he is not without a little brain, and if he asks too clearly, it will cause him to be ...... on guard! ”

Han Mo groaned.

Guan Mu stared at Han Mo and continued: "The status of the Snake King's Wind Country in the hearts of the people, I don't say that you also know it. Your subordinate is now in the hands of the Serpent King, and I am afraid that the house where he lives will be surrounded by water...... In the light and in the dark, the masters of the Wind Country must regard it as a forbidden place for outsiders. If you want to save him, you have to think of approaching ...... Do you have a solution? You have to understand that in such an important place, since the people of the Wind Country are strictly guarded, it is my Qingguo Ziyi Guard or you Yan Guohua Hall, it is also unapproachable! ”

Han Mo knew that what Guan Mu said was extremely true.

Although Zhu Xiaoyan has the Snake King in his hands, it is impossible to use the Snake King to threaten the people of the Wind Country to do anything, and there are some conditions that are too drastic, and the people of the Wind Country will definitely not agree.

Now that housing is provided, and food and drink are provided, that is already the maximum that the people of the Wind Country can tolerate, in this case, in the surroundings of Zhu Xiaoyan, it must be as Guan Mu said, heavy troops and sanitation, irrelevant people, etc., it is impossible to have the opportunity to approach.

Han Mo made this trip, but he brought red sleeves and approached Zhu Xiaoyan alone, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to get close to the house where Zhu Xiaoyan was held.

Although Red Sleeves is a first-class dark master, she is a human being, not a ghost, and without any gaps, no matter how capable she is, it is impossible for her to rescue Zhu Xiaoyan quietly.

It's a conundrum, a big conundrum!

……

"Tomorrow, you will take this opportunity to take a look in first!" Guan Mu said softly: "The opportunity is rare, take a look at the defense inside Shenshan City with your own eyes, and then decide whether you want to continue to act!" ”

Although he had already made a decision to help Han Mo, there was no doubt that deep down in Guan Mu's heart, he still hoped that Han Mo would give up this chess piece.

If the action goes well, a miracle really happens, and someone is rescued by Han Mo, then everything is easy to say, but once the matter is revealed, the consequences are actually extremely serious.

As Guan Mu, who has been operating in the Wind Country for nearly ten years, he certainly does not want his hard work to be ruined because of the failure of Han Mo's operation.

Han Mo naturally understood Guan Mu's intentions, and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, if you are not sure, I will not act rashly!" ”

"That's great!" Guan Mu said, "But...... Since the old man has decided to help you, if you have any difficulties, although it is inconvenient to send people to participate in the operation in order to avoid the trade bank intervening in the direct conflict with the Wind Country, it is ...... If there is anything else that can be done, the old man will still do his best, but you can rest assured! ”

Han Mo smiled and nodded: "The big shopkeeper has helped me a lot." After a pause, he remembered something and asked softly: "Big shopkeeper, there is something I really want to ask you for!" ”

"Please!"

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "As far as I know, a lot of things have happened in the Wind Country over the past year or so. I have heard some news, it is said that the three counties and eight villages of the Wind Country are fighting each other, and civil strife is frequent, but I don't know if this news is true or false? ”

Guan Mu had a smile on his face, "Xiao Shui, in addition to saving people, I'm afraid that this trip is also one of your purposes to explore the cause of the civil unrest, right?" ”

Han Mo smiled and said, "It's just by the way!" ”

Guan Mu stroked his beard and groaned for a while before he said, "Actually, what's going on, even if it's me, I don't have an accurate news until now." This thing still starts from a year ago! ”

Han Mo stared at Guan Mu and made a gesture of deferential listening.

"A year ago, the Wind Country Village Meeting, the eight major village owners gathered in Shenshan City......!" Guan Mu stroked his beard and said slowly: "But what the Eight Great Elders discussed, even from the mouth of the Inner Fengsi, it is difficult to know the news, and the old man is not clear so far." It's just that the old man knew that in that meeting, the eight main families were down, and for some reason, three were killed on the spot. The main family of Heimu Village in Jiaozhou County, Fengguo Country, Chang Heimutang, the main family of Langya Village, Chang Min Qiu Tuyuan, and the main family of Qingmu Village in Yuling County were killed on the spot, and even the guards they brought were killed cleanly......! ”

When Han Mo heard this, he immediately frowned.

The master of the Eight Great Villages is down, killing three at once, such an amazing thing will definitely cause a huge turmoil in the Wind Country, at least the three villages under the three big Falling Chiefs, there will definitely be big things.

"Who killed them?"

"Naturally, it's the current Chief of the Wind Country." Guan Mu said: "It's the owner of Yuquan Village!" ”

Han Mo narrowed his eyes.

Although the chief is the supreme leader of the Wind Country, under the special national conditions of the Wind Country, if you want to kill the other Dazhai lords, it is definitely not something that you can do if you want to.

And killing the three masters as soon as he made a move, this is undoubtedly a sensational thing in the eyes of the people of the Wind Country.

Guan Mu sighed lightly: "This matter is in the Wind Country, it can be regarded as a big matter. It is said that after killing the three main family chiefs, Tuo Hu Feng immediately blocked the spread of the news, and forged the abdication letters of the three family chiefs, which was to pass on the position to others. Tuo Hu Feng sent his subordinates to Sanzhai and showed the abdication letter, saying that the three chiefs wanted to stay in Shenshan City to serve the snake god and the high priest, and they wanted to choose another candidate from the master of the three villages to serve as the chief ......! ”

Han Mo sighed and said, "The new candidate for the head must have been bought by Tuo Hu Feng before and secretly swore allegiance to Tuo Hu Feng...... I think although it is the main family, there are also many factions within the main family of each village, right? ”

Guan Mu's eyes showed appreciation, and said, "Xiao Shui is really smart. Yes, in the main family, there are also clear factions, every time a new person grows up, there will be a fire within the main family, and the three subordinate families and the private family will also be involved in the dispute between the chiefs...... If you really want to talk about it, the position of the chief of the wind country is easier than the position of the head of the village owner. The rules handed down from generation to generation in the country of Feng, the position of the chief, is rotated by the head of the eight major villages, every three years, so as long as he becomes the chief, when the time comes, he can stay in the Wind Palace of Shenshan City and become the new chief, so the dispute between the main family and the chief is more cruel than the battle for the chief. The old man has been in the wind country for nine years, he has seen a lot of things, four years ago, the main family of Chishui Village fell into a long dispute, the two factions fought, the three families and dozens of private houses were divided into two factions, the whole Chishui Village fought with swords and soldiers all day, lasted for more than two months, and the persuasion of other villages could not be persuaded, and finally the high priest went to Chishui Village in person, then the sword soldiers were stopped, and finally it was decided that each side sent five warriors to fight, three games and two wins, whose person won by whom to do the long. In the end, it was the samurai of Chishui Ichiren who defeated Chishui Chifang, and Chishui Ichiren became the new chief, and the high priest personally presided over the Chishui Ichiren enthronement ceremony, but after the high priest returned to Kamiyama City, Chishui Ichiren, who became the high priest, found a reason and immediately killed Chishui Qianfang...... This kind of thing is not a minority in the battle for the growth of the wind country. Not only the main family, but also the three families, and the people's family are not easy to get! ”

Han Mo touched his chin and said with a faint smile: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are interests, and where there are interests...... Naturally, there is a fight! ”

Guan Mu nodded, looking at Han Mo with appreciation, there is no doubt that Han Mo's words are the deepest essence of human nature!

No one is indisputable, but the interests that everyone is fighting for may be different!

"Tuo Hu Feng may want to use the way of replacing the falling chiefs to suppress the terrible consequences that may be brought about by the death of the three major falling elders. After all, he also knew that there was no impermeable wall in this world, and no matter how tightly the blockade was made, the news that the three major leaders had been killed in Shenshan City would leak out sooner or later! Guan Mu's expression was calm: "It's just that when I was in Heimu Village, there was a problem." Because of the black wood village was killed when Luo Chang Heimutang wrote a letter, in addition to the special handwriting, there was a special code that outsiders did not know...... Kurokido was a cautious man, and he had long set up a code to guard against someone impersonating his handwriting, and several of his powerful henchmen knew about it...... When the envoy of Tuohu Feng took out the forged letter, he was immediately seen through by the people of Heimu Hall, and not only detained the envoy, but also immediately seized and controlled the head of the black wood village promoted by Tuohu Feng, the head of the new family, Hei Mu Yi and his comrades, and even interrogated from the mouth of Hei Mu Yi that Hei Mu Tang may have been buried in Kinabalu City. ”

Han Mo smiled helplessly: "It's a great blessing that Heimu Hall has such a group of loyal subordinates, but it's just ...... For the entire black wood village, I don't know if it's fortunate or unlucky? ”

He already vaguely guessed in his heart that it was precisely because of Hei Muzhai's insight into the conspiracy that this opened the prelude to the civil war of Fengfeng.

Sure enough, I only heard Guan Mu say: "Heimu Village secretly sent people to investigate, they are also one of the eight great villages of the Wind Country, and they also have a few pairs of eyes in Shenshan City, and they soon knew that Heimutang was killed." At that time, the son of Heimutang was the leader, without saying a word, he pulled up the battle flag, and then the other two major villages also pulled up the battle flag because of the ventilation of the black wood village, and the three villages of Heimu, Langya, and Aoki gathered samurai, and marched to Shenshan City on the three roads, and the banner was to avenge the chief. At that time, it was said that Tuohu Feng was ambitious and wanted to dominate the position of chief, but it was only because the three major chiefs did not agree that he was the killer...... At the beginning, the people of the three villages were so powerful that they actually hit the interior of Nanjun...... The people of these three villages are all wearing red turbans, so they are called red-headed people......! ”

Only then did Han Mo realize that the red-headed man he had been hearing all along had such a origin.

Guan Mu is worthy of being a businessman, with first-class eloquence, and when he talks about these things, his voice is full of emotion, and the yin and yang are frustrated, which completely shows the tense atmosphere at that time in the words.

"At that time, the situation was extremely critical, the banner of the red-headed people was loud, and the victory was one after another, and the old man was ready to withdraw the trade house from the Wind Country for the time being, and the scourge of swords and soldiers affected the pond fish!"

Han Mo stared at Guan Mu and said, "But...... In the end, it seems that the red-headed man was defeated? ”

Guan Mu nodded and said: "Just as the red-headed people were rising in popularity and gradually approaching Shenshan City, the high priest who had not participated in the dispute between the villages suddenly came out, claiming to be the snake god who was angry because ......of the rebellion of the red-headed people, and did not eat for several days. ”

"The theory of gods and ghosts must have played a big role at this time!" Han Mo sighed, in such a country with belief in gods, if the high priest came out to say these words at this time, then the tragedy of the red-headed people was already doomed.

Guan Mu also sighed and said, "Not bad." As soon as the high priest released these words, civil strife immediately appeared in the three major villages of Hongtou, and many people retreated because they were afraid of the punishment of the snake god, and no longer followed the lord's family into Shenshan City. In the eyes of the samurai of the people, the main family is of course extremely noble, but compared to the main family, the snake god and the high priest make them even more fearful. At the beginning, there were still forty or fifty thousand people in the three villages, and when they were less than a hundred miles away from Shenshan City, there were less than 10,000 people left...... At this time, Tuohufeng had already united several other major villages to form a large encirclement, surrounding the red-headed people in the area of the black grass forest of Chishui Village...... In the first battle of Wucaolin, most of the red-headed people were killed and wounded, and only a small number of people escaped, and now they are scattered and hidden in various parts of the wind country, and it is difficult to find a trace, and Tuohu Feng ordered his subordinates to search for the whereabouts of the red-headed people, capture one person alive, and reward fifty taels of silver! ”

"In this way, the matter of the Windy Country is also very clear." Han Mo frowned and said: "Obviously, Tuohu Feng wants to monopolize the position of chief, so a meeting was held, and at the meeting, the three major leaders opposed it, and Tuo Hu Feng drew his sword against each other. Later, with the help of the high priest, he put down the rebellion of the Redheads...... It's so clear, why did the big shopkeeper just say that he couldn't figure out the reason? Could it be that there is something else in doubt? ”

"What I just said is something that everyone is familiar with." Guan Mu said slowly, "If someone else asks, the old man can only tell him like this at most." But since it was Xiaoshui, you came to ask about it, but the old man wanted to say the doubts in his heart! ”

"Please teach the treasurer!" Han Mo said solemnly.

He knew that Guan Mu had always treated each other with sincerity and helped him a lot, so his expression was quite respectful.

Guan Mu thought for a while before he said, "Xiao Shui, you may not know that the high priest of the Wind Country has been strictly selected. It was selected from the country of wind. Luo Ruluo is the sacrificial home of the Wind Country, and it is said that a long, long time ago, he was selected by the snake god as a psychic of the gods, and the words of the snake god can only be heard by the high priest, and only the high priest can relay the oracle of the snake god to people. Each generation of high priests, once at the altar to serve the serpent god, had to appoint a successor among the children under the age of two. From then on, the designated children will enter Luo Ruluo's sacrificial hall, where they will be taught the art of the Five Elements and Bagua from an early age, and they will have to receive the strictest spiritual training...... Generally speaking, high priests are extremely virtuous people who will not submit to anyone, and the purpose of the high priest is to maintain peace in the whole country of wind...... Even so, the high priest almost never participates in the battles between the villages, and four years ago, the high priest went to Chishui Village to preside over the dispute, which is an extremely rare thing, but in the end, it is only ...... to resolve the dispute! His expression tightened, and he stared at Han Mo: "But on top of the red-headed man, the high priest personally came out to reprimand the red-headed man, this is something that has never happened." He used the snake god to fight the red-headed people, and it was already obvious that he was defending Tuohu Feng...... However, as far as I know, in the three years since he took office, Tuohufeng has issued a decree at the beginning to increase the amount of money to be paid, and there are many decrees that are unfavorable to the people, and the high priest has advised Tuohufeng not to do this...... As far as I know, the relationship between the high priest and Tuohu Feng is not good, and the high priest is quite dissatisfied with Tuo Hu Feng's arrogance, if it weren't for the rules passed down from generation to generation, the high priest would not even want to live in the same city as Tuo Hu Feng, but this time the high priest came out to help Tuo Hu Feng speak, so is it strange to say this? ”

Han Mo narrowed his eyes, he just felt that Tuohu Feng and the high priest were in collusion at first, wearing a pair of pants, in a moment of crisis, Tuohu Feng wooed the high priest, and the high priest helped Tuohu Feng, that was also understandable.

But after Guan Mu's explanation, Han Mo felt that if the high priest would have the idea of not wanting to live in the same city as Tuohu Feng, then it was obviously extremely disgusted with Tuo Hu Feng, and it was naturally impossible for him to come out at a critical moment to help Tuo Hu Feng by suppressing the red-headed people.

This is patently unconscionable.

The high priest had a problem with Tuohu Feng because of Tuo Hu Feng's excessive decree, from a certain point of view, the high priest is asking for the people's life, he is a kind person, it is hard to imagine that he will help Tuo Hu Feng by suppressing the red-headed people!

Guan Mu saw the puzzled look on Han Mo's face, and said softly: "And the position of the chieftain is changed every three years, Tuohu Feng wants to dominate the family, and the other village chiefs are only three people who have opinions?" This is the law of the rotation of chiefs handed down from the wind era, the law of Tuohu Feng destruction, and the other seven great chiefs join forces, and it is impossible for Tuohu Feng to succeed. And even if the other few Luo Changxu and the snake did not dare to oppose in Shenshan City, but later, except for the three Luo Chang who were killed, the other four people left Shenshan City and returned to the village. They are also chiefs in rotation, and they are qualified to become chiefs, are they just willing to let the Tuohu Feng family monopolize them? Shook his head gently: "Xiaoshui, this matter is actually far from being as simple as it seems, and it ...... The old man felt that there must be a major secret in it, but it was just ...... Although the old man has investigated in many ways, he still hasn't figured out the reason! ”
