"It's just ahead, and it's coming soon."

Patriarch Mo pointed not far away.

Mo Zhe looked over: "Isn't that a dilapidated village?" "When he went to the river guard, he passed by there, and the village was long gone.

Patriarch Mo nodded: "During the time of Gaozong, our Haixi tribe used to live there, and not far away was the village of the Beishan tribe, by the way, at that time they were not called Beishan, and we were not called Haixi, after the two tribes separated, our two tribes changed their names." ”

Mo Zhe didn't know why his father talked about these old things.

Patriarch Mo dismounted and rested: "Do you know why our two clans left here?" ”

Mo Zhe nodded: "This place is too close to the guard, if the Tatars disturb the border and break through the checkpoint, our people will suffer." ”

"That's right," said Patriarch Mo, "to move away from the scourge of war, so that even if the guard is lost, we still have time to take refuge." ”

Mo Zhe's eyes flickered: "You put things in the village, but someone can guard them?" ”

"Naturally," Patriarch Mo smiled, "some old clansmen are there, and they don't appear in front of people much on weekdays, so if you don't probe carefully, you won't find them."

Even if someone found out about it, they wouldn't care, and no one would have thought that there was a treasure I had hidden here. ”

Mo Zhe licked his lips: "Father is far-sighted. ”

"What else do you want to say?" Patriarch Mo looked at his youngest son, "Just ask me now!" ”

Mo Zhe pondered carefully for a moment before saying, "What is the agreement between my father and An Yihou?" Are these treasures related to An Yihou? ”

"Relevant," Patriarch Mo didn't hesitate, "I did all this because I promised An Yihou back then." ”

It seems that he guessed correctly, Mo Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly, his father and An Yihou really had interests in private.

Patriarch Mo said, "Do you think I'm doing something wrong?" ”

"No," Mo Zhe's expression immediately became solemn, "Father must have arranged this for the sake of the clan." ”

Patriarch Mo paused for a moment before saying, "Do you really think so?" ”

Mo Zhe nodded.

Patriarch Mo turned to look at the clansmen behind him, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed to be talking to himself for a while: "I put my spirit on the affairs of the clan, and I think that I have done everything well, but in fact, I have treated your brothers badly, I should treat you better, not to ...... At such a young age, he embarked on the point of no return. ”

Mo Zhe's heart sank, he always felt that his father was strange today, and the words he said seemed to have another meaning, but if he thought about it carefully, his father should be sad about his brother's death.

Mo Zhe said: "Father should take care of himself, brother Quanxia knows, it will be sad to see my father like this, we are not children anymore, and we should bear some responsibilities, some results my father did not expect, in fact, my father has paid a lot for the clan, and I should have stepped down as the patriarch and enjoyed the blessings." What he had been trying to say along the way, he was finally able to say it, anyway, the treasure was in front of him, and he was not afraid that his father would suddenly turn his face.

Patriarch Mo moved his fingers slightly, and a sad look flashed in his eyes: "You're right, today is my last day as the patriarch of the Haixi Clan. ”

Mo Zhe couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect his father to say such a thing.

Patriarch Mo said: "After handing over the treasures I have hidden, I will no longer be the patriarch, and those belongings will be handed over to the new patriarch for disposal." ”

Mo Zhe was happy in his heart, he thought that if he wanted to hold power, he would inevitably have to go through a lot of trouble, but his father actually figured it out at this time.

"Let's go," Patriarch Mo said, "Don't waste any more time, some things are settled today, and there's no point in delaying it." ”

Patriarch Mo boarded the carriage, Mo Zhe nodded to the people around him, just in case, he had to let people ambush near the village, and after getting the belongings, he would immediately leave with the people who were willing to follow him, and there were many people in the clan who were as stubborn as their father, so he left these people to the Beishan tribe.

Those people have always felt that the hatred between the two clans can be dissolved, and the slave will be integrated into the entire Great Zhou, all of them are foolish dreams, and letting them die at the hands of the Beishan tribesmen today can be regarded as they paid the price for stupidity.

As for the Great Zhou...... It is even more impossible to save Haixi, he has long seen through this, rather than surrendering to the Great Zhou, it is better to rely on the Tatars, after the Tatars occupy the slaves, it is impossible to kill the slaves and kill everyone, someone must help the Tatars manage the slaves, and then it will be his turn to show his skills.

The carriage stopped in front of the village, and immediately two old people came out of the village.

"Patriarch." The people stepped forward and saluted.

Patriarch Mo helped the clansmen up: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The clansman's eyes were slightly red, and his expression was a little worried and anxious: "The patriarch came this time...... Is it time to use here? ”

Patriarch Mo bowed his head: "What we are worried about has happened, thanks to the preparation in the past two years. ”

The clansman sighed: "I thought I wouldn't see this day in this life, but I didn't expect it to happen," his eyes lit up slightly, "It's okay, if this remnant body can still work for the clan, even if it dies, it will feel happy." ”

The two men walked towards the village as they spoke.

Patriarch Mo looked at the houses on both sides: "Can it still be used if you repair it?" ”

"It can be used, it can be used," the old clan said, "It looks dilapidated on the surface, but we are secretly taking care of it, and the forage and food are enough for a while, so the patriarch can rest assured, there are also medicinal materials...... We've also accumulated quite a bit. ”

Mo Zhe couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the meaning of the old clan's words, as if they would live here.

Forage, grain, and medicinal herbs, but they have said so much, but they have not mentioned any money.

"Father's ......"

As soon as Mo Zhe spoke, the Mo patriarch in front immediately stopped, and the two old clansmen stopped talking.

Mo Zhe felt that the atmosphere was unusual, fortunately, he had already let people ambush here in advance, there should be no mistakes, and when he got the treasure and left, the Xiao family would attract people from the Beishan tribe.

The Beishan tribe killed the patriarch of the Haixi tribe, and the clansmen of the Troubled River and the Yuqu River Guards will also join the melee, and the Golden Moon Khan will take the opportunity to attack the guards, leaving him with very short time.

"Father, let's go see ...... first"

"Treasure?" Patriarch Mo said indifferently, "The treasure I hid is here. ”

"Where?" Mo Zhe looked around suspiciously.

Patriarch Mo said: "Our clansmen left here to avoid the scourge of war, and to hide and recuperate during small wars, but we will come back when we encounter major wars, only in this way will the Yuqu River and the Martyrdom River Guard Station not become empty cities."

Defending the checkpoint with the strength of the clan is my promise to An Yihou. ”

"When An Yihou was stationed at the Luqu River, in order to let our people leave safely, he also stubbornly guarded the checkpoint and refused to retreat half a step, I once said that when my people are strong, they will definitely come back to repay the favor," Patriarch Mo said, "Cause and effect are not empty, it is time to fulfill the promise." ”

Mo Zhe took two steps back: "Father, you ...... What do you mean...... Don't lie to me, you just don't want to take those possessions out......"

Patriarch Mo said, "If I don't give you my belongings, will you kill me like you did with your eldest brother?" ”

Mo Zhe's face changed suddenly: "You know everything, that's why you use those words to deal with me." ”

"You only believe the answer in your heart, and whatever I say, you think it's false," Patriarch Mo said, "If it weren't for the safety of the guard, how could I bring the whole clan here?" ”
