Chapter Seventy-Eight: Rising Waves on the Flat Land (4)
These things that happened inside the Galokhanate can be said to be known to outsiders, and it is not particularly strange for Lu Yi, after all, the situation in the south is complicated, which force capable of sending spies would be stupid enough not to plant spies to the enemy to report the situation at any time?
What's more, this incident was very big at the time, one of the heirs to the position of the chief of the goshawk tribe was actually lit on the street by someone on the street, and he was burned alive on the street, this kind of thing is not an exaggeration, even if the county government has issued a silent order to the local people, but there are always people who can't hold things, and there were too many onlookers at that time, and it was impossible to monitor and warn one by one, which is why Lu Yi tried his best to prevent Gu Xuan from doing this at that time.
Of course, you can kill Ashina, in fact, as a monarch, you can kill whoever you want, but you must not just kill in front of everyone, and you will be brutally tortured and killed like this, which will not only chill the hearts of the goshawk tribe who have just been forced to submit to obscenity, but also the hearts of those who are ready to come to the Garokhan Kingdom.
The people of Liang dared to slaughter even one of the six elders who formed the Garo Khanate, what else did they not dare to do?
As long as it is not really to the point where there is no way, no one will want to be someone else's slave, isn't this inferior, and even if you have to choose a master, it is better to be a slave of the same clan, at least, they should treat themselves better than foreigners, right?
However, at that time, Gu Xuan's murderous intent had been decided, he was a strategist, where could he persuade him, and he didn't want to anger the other party, so he had to go, but he didn't think that the consequences would be reflected at this time.
Lu Yi could only defend Gu Xuan: " The goshawk tribe is looking for their own death, their young chief, relying on his father is the king of Khan, even dared to defile my king's woman, we have an ancient saying in Liangguo, the emperor is angry, the blood is drifting, and the corpses are million, he provokes my king like this, that is, they will slaughter their entire goshawk tribe cleanly, and it can only slightly soothe the anger of my king, but my king did not do that, he only punished the evil, but did not anger any other outsiders, but only meritocracy, give them official titles, does this not show that my king is a very benevolent kingοΌβ
Morobeti stood aside, and nodded secretly, he only felt that if this was really the case, it would be reasonable, after all, although the status of a woman in the Brahmana tribe is not high, but at least he can understand this mood, this is like the meat in your bowl, suddenly caught and eaten by others, then anyone will be angry, if the same thing happens to the Brahmana, I am afraid that the consequences will only be more serious, and it is impossible to end it in a sloppy manner with just one person.
However, the big chief on the side, who led the entire tribe and fought with other tribes and foreigners for decades, is well-informed and looks at things far more thoroughly than this later life thinks.
"But you also found a suitable reason to convince yourself, to convince outsiders, and then to get the entire goshawk tribe, isn't it? That Garo Khanate is not the khanate of our Brahmana tribe, but the khanate of your Liang people, if I choose to submit to you today, then the ghost vulture tribe is just the second Gala Khanate, and when the time comes, it may be me or any of the people of the ghost vulture tribe who will be killed. β
Lu Yi shook his head heavily and continued to retort: " No, no, no, Great Chief, you are wrong, it is precisely because the Gara Khanate has become our Great Liang Khanate, so you should choose to cooperate with us, because we at least never discriminate, no matter who he is, no matter where he is, no matter what his past, as long as he sincerely chooses to become our Great Liang people, we will accept him, and give him the same treatment as others, this alone, I dare to guarantee, must be what others cannot give you, those people are real, they will only treat you Brahmana as foreigners, as dogs that can be driven and scolded at willγ β
"If there is no source of water, it will soon dry up, and if the tree has no roots, it will no longer be able to grow, and once the Great Liang dominates the southern land in the future, won't you Brahmana become rootless water? So, you are not surrendering to us, but joining us, yes, you can also say the same, we are going to annex you, but I prefer to call it fusion, like a separate stream, it can only be a corner of the place, it can never become a raging river, you can only join us, we can merge together, you can go farther, enjoy the broader scenery, this is what makes us very different from others, and you will never find a second such opportunity. β
After listening to this, Morobeti felt even more reasonable, and couldn't help but nod his head gently, if this was really the case, although he still couldn't accept this so-called "fusion" from the bottom of his heart, but at the very least, the person in front of him was much more sincere than the arrogant envoy of patriotism.
The old man still waved his hand and said in a deep voice: " You better let your king come and talk to me personally, if he is really like you said, he is a unique king, a king who will accept us, I think I will consider your suggestion, but whether it is surrender or integration, it is not such a simple thing, at least, it is not as simple as you say, you Liangguo people, not credible, backsliding, is your favorite thing to do, I am the big chief, I will never let my people be other people's slaves because of your words!"
Lu Yi secretly said that this old man is really difficult, and he can only say more directly at the moment: "Great Chief, but things have exceeded your expectations, you can be poisoned today, then you may be assassinated tomorrow, if I don't save you today, you may already be dead, are you willing to let those people with ill intentions control the entire ghost vulture tribe for you? Since I chose to save you, it is because we came with sincerity, otherwise why don't I choose to watch you die and support another person who is willing to cooperate with our Liang Kingdom?" As you said, isn't that what we're good at?"
Speaking of the poisoning, the old man's face, which had originally become radiant because of the magic medicine of the merman clan, instantly darkened a lot, and the whole person looked a lot tired, and his tone became a little erratic because of this.
"I, well, your sincerity, I have received, as I said before, no matter what, you saved my life, I thank you, but if you want to force me to choose to take sides so quickly, it is impossible, I can't make a hasty decision on the fate of the whole tribe because of this kind of thing, so you better go back. β
At this moment, Morobeti, who had been waiting respectfully next to him, suddenly looked at the old man on the bed worriedly, and said with some anger: "Great Chief, do you have any suspicions about the people who poisoned them? I will help you arrest them for interrogation now!"
The old man turned his head to look at Morobetti, who was squatting on the edge of the bed, his eyes were extremely sincere, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, reached out and touched his head and said: "You are a good boy, I believe that you will also be a good chief in the future, if one day I really suffer an accident, you will definitely be able to protect the people of the tribe, but child, in the future, you must make a choice according to your inner thoughts, and you must not be hasty." β
"The Great Chiefγγγγγγ Morobetti frowned and said, "I'll take someone to guard this place in the future, so you'll be fine." β
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need, the guards outside are enough, you don't have to worry about me, okay, good boy, go back quickly." β
Morobeti wanted to say something: "Butγγγγγγ β
The old man feigned anger and said, "Are you not going to listen to me now?"
Listening to the old man's tone, Morobeti suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart for no reason, but since the Great Chief had driven them away, he could only take Lu Yi with him, watch him put on his black robe and mask again, and then walk outside together.
---------------------
Night.
Located outside the two-story house to the southeast of the entire tribe, Motian Gaotin was heavily guarded, and these were warriors who were truly loyal to him.
In a small hut separated from the house, an ordinary-looking man was sitting opposite him with a golden knife at the moment, and this person was none other than the pockmarked-faced horse bandit who had turned around and shot Gu Xuan with an arrow in Majia Village, causing him to almost die.
It's just that this person has changed his appearance, and as soon as he took the pockmarks, he was another person, and then swaggered back to the desert, and never ran to Youzhou to commit a crime, plus Gu Xuan concentrated on governing Huangsha County and did not investigate carefully, so these days are safe, and it can even be said that he is in the desert.
Because this person was originally one of the shadows laid by Wei Guo in the desert, and he has been wandering in the desert for many years, and he is naturally very familiar with the Rakshasa language.
"Messenger, what should I do, the big chief is not dead, what should I do!" Motian Gao Xi was already anxious in the room, he grabbed his head, lowered his voice, and the expression on his face was extremely panicked, "He must have guessed that I poisoned him, no, he may already know, what to do, I'm going to die!"
It was an unforgivable capital crime to murder the High Chief and to be made known to the High Chief, and he could not think of any reason to get away with it, and he could not have imagined that it would turn out like this, just a few hours ago, he was jubilantly planning the future he was destined to be glorious.
The man sat on the stool, drooping his face, looking at the other party's terrified appearance, very disdainful, and immediately said coldly: "What are you panicking, with Master Li in charge, what are you afraid of?
"It must be my damn brother!" Motian Gao Xi's expression suddenly became extremely hideous, he turned his head, slapped the table and shouted, "It must be like this! The priest also said that he brought back the snake gall of the snake king!"
"Wow, idiot. When the man heard this, he felt that this person was already incurably stupid, so he shook his head and asked, "What kind of bullshit snake gall can detoxify?" This must be someone high, but I don't know who it is, oh, by the way, do you know, are there any new arrivals recently?"
