"Savages?"

Wu Ye was slightly stunned, Wuwei Country is located in the west, the land is vast and sparsely populated, of course, there are many wild tribes who drink blood and do not obey the king, and the residents of Wuwei Country are divided into two kinds: "national people" and "wild people", the so-called "common people" refers to the Chinese people, and the wild people have no surname.

But no matter what Wu Ye thinks, the Niutou Walled City doesn't look like a savage can be built, and the villagers in the village are not at all different from the Chinese people in their dress, even if it is his dominatrix sister, although she speaks rudely, she doesn't have a little local language, which is the standard old Qin dialect.

How could they be savages?

What's more, even if you are really a wild man, it is easy to get a surname.

Pangea is the era of war, the heroes rose together, won Kyushu, one of the most important national policies of each country, is to try their best to increase the population, fierce warriors, no matter where they are placed, are priceless!

Wuwei has always been a policy of recruitment-based for the savage tribes who are not afraid of death, and they will be conquered unless they are particularly unruly, disobedient to the king, and have caused great damage to the people.

Otherwise, most of them take the initiative to send medicinal materials, blades, and armor, as long as this tribe can bow down to Wuwei on the surface, and can send a certain number of soldiers and horses during battle.

Sometimes they don't even need to send soldiers and horses, but instead send a large number of supplies every year - because these savage tribes, most of them are located on the front line of the Northwest Wasteland, and they have to bear the brunt of the impact of the beast tide every year, as long as they have always existed, it is the greatest contribution to the Wuwei Kingdom!

A lot of land in the west of Wuwei is obtained in this way, many savages who were still Ru Mao and drank blood yesterday have been named nobles by King Wuwei today, even if they walk on the streets of Tongchuan City, they are also rampant, showing off their might, and they are more majestic than the original nobles!

How could these "wild men" in the Niutou Walled City not even get a surname? They don't look like they don't look like they are disobedient to the king?

However, in this way, it can explain why the historian was able to get the title deed of this land.

Because before the savage accepts the canonization, he is nominally not allowed to own half an inch of land in Wuwei Country, and under the whole world, is it not the king's land!

It's just that this is only "nominal", in fact, if a tribe of savages has been living here for decades, then as long as they are willing to recognize the authority of King Wuwei, the government will naturally obediently send the title deed, and they will not even dare to accept half of it!

There must be a huge joint hidden in this.

The mountain monkey didn't want to talk about this issue more, and waved his hand a little tiredly: "Wu Gongzi must be a little tired after a long journey, let Chunhua arrange for you to go down to wash the wind and dust, and have a good rest!"

Wu Ye smiled slightly, and said: "Old man, I don't think the top and bottom of your village are ordinary savages, to get a surname, it should be as easy as a matter of hand, could it be that there is any trouble in it? You might as well say it, I'll see if I can help!"

Without waiting for the mountain monkey to speak, Wu Ye's figure flashed, and he had already taken off a big axe hanging on the wall behind the mountain monkey, and with both hands, he actually made this big axe made of fine iron, weighing more than 30 catties, like tearing a pancake, tearing it from the middle and throwing it on the ground!

The mountain monkey was dumbfounded, and when he looked at the person again, Wu Ye had already taken away the Tibetan Feng technique, the true qi around his body was agitated, the cloth clothes were windless and automatic, his temples were bulging high, his eyes were as bright as a small sun, and the momentum of the innate strong man was fully revealed!

Even the thieves outside sensed his momentum, the horn sounded again, and countless female thieves rushed over with sharp blades, Niu Chunhua was not carrying two horse war long knives this time, but a mace that looked like it weighed more than two hundred pounds, and it seemed that it was ready to collapse the whole house!

"Don't be rude!"

The mountain monkey man quickly regained his composure, and shouted at the door, "I have important matters to discuss with your distinguished guests, what are you doing here with knives and guns?"

Niu Chunhua refused to disperse, looking at Wu Ye's gaze to the extreme, he stammered: "He, he, he ......"

The mountain monkey sank his face and shouted: "Confused, the distinguished guest really wants to be unfavorable to our Niutou Walled City, you can kill it directly just now, who can resist it?

Disperse everyone, the mountain monkey closed the door, and bowed deeply to Wu Ye: "I don't know that Wu Gongzi turned out to be a great grandmaster who stepped into the innate martial realm, and he was rude just now!"

Wu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to stop and said: "The old man must not say such a thing, my life is considered to be picked up by Wang Biao, and he has promised him before he dies that he will treat his parents as his own parents, if the old man does not dislike it, he will treat me as a nephew, no need to be so polite!"

The mountain monkey glanced at Wu Ye meaningfully, and just when Wu Ye thought that he had seen some flaw, the mountain monkey sat back on the stone bench and said: "Wu Gongzi is an innate grandmaster, and it is effortless to deal with a small Niutou Walled City, and there is no need to use rhetoric to deceive us and others, he really wants to repay his kindness! It's just that he wants to help everyone in the Niutou Walled City get a surname, but even the Innate Grandmaster can't do it! Wu Gongzi doesn't need to worry, after listening to me tell the ins and outs, you will know why this matter is not easy!"

After a pause, the mountain monkey lit another pot of cigarettes with some trembling, and said, "I wonder if Wu Gongzi has heard of the 'Battle of Tianshui'?"

Wu Ye nodded.

The Battle of Tianshui, which took place thirty years ago, was a rare fiasco in the history of Wuwei Kingdom.

Thirty years ago, the Wuwei Kingdom was also strong for a while, and its sphere of influence has been extending to the Northwest Wasteland, and the territory is more than half of what it is now!

At that time, Meng Li, the king of Wuwei, was a generation of male lords, ambitious, and tried in vain to unify the entire northwest and build Wuwei into a great power in the northwest, even if it could not compete with the Tianjin Kingdom, at least it had to be compared with the eastern countries and become a second-class power.

After a series of contacts, tug-of-wars, and repeated battles, Meng Li's army and the demon beast army in the northwest wasteland started a decisive battle in a place called "Tianshui".

As a result, just when Meng Li's army won a complete victory and was about to march forward and defeat all the beast tide army commanded by the demon beasts, Meng Li was suddenly killed by the demon beasts in his camp in front of thousands of guards!

Even the thousands of guards were killed and wounded, and they completely collapsed!

Meng Li's guards are fierce men selected from all over the Wuwei country, all of them are strong men who are close to the peak of the day after tomorrow, known as the "Tiger Benshi", not only his guards, but also the sharp knife of the Wuwei army's attack!

The monarch died, the sharp knife broke, there was no way to fight this battle, the Wuwei army changed from a big victory to a big defeat, more than 50,000 elite soldiers were killed to only more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals, one-third of the country fell into the minions of the beasts, since then the aggressive offensive has changed, can only be beaten passively behind the defense line, the national fortune has also plummeted, reduced to the present, the status of a third-rate small country.

The mountain monkey licked his chapped lips, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, crying but not crying, and said lightly: "I am the Tiger Benshi, and these people in the Niutou Walled City are all descendants of the Tiger Benshi." ”

Wu Ye was stunned: "Tiger Benshi, why didn't you die?"

Wuwei people are the most important honor, even if the tiger warriors did not die on the battlefield, but the monarchs they guarded were all dead, and they absolutely had no face to live, they should all be martyred for the monarch!

The mountain monkey smiled and said: "Do you think we are very shameless, because our guards are not good, causing the monarch to be assassinated, and the army is defeated, and half of the country is lost, we are simply sinners through the ages, how can we still have the face to live? Yes, the people of the country back then all said so, but we still survived, just because we ...... I want to take revenge on the Heavenly Jin Kingdom!"

Wu Ye blinked his eyes and said in astonishment: "King Wuwei was assassinated, what does it have to do with the Heavenly Jin Kingdom?"

The mountain monkey gritted his teeth and said: "When I was only nineteen years old, I was guarding the king's side, and I saw with my own eyes the appearance of that assassin, who was not a demon beast at all, but an out-and-out human race, a cultivator...... You see, he's still on my chest, with such a scar!"

The mountain monkey pulled his collar, revealing a shocking scar on his chest.

Judging from the wound, it was indeed a sword wound, not a laceration caused by the demon beast's minions!

The mountain monkey narrowed his eyes, emitted two rays of hatred, and said hatefully: "This cultivator killed all the people in the big tent, and I was stabbed in the heart by him, and I thought that I would definitely die, but when others woke me up, I realized that my heart was naturally more right-looking than others, and I survived and became the only person who had seen the appearance of this cultivator! It wasn't until much later that I learned that this person was a true disciple of the Liuyun Sword Sect. ”

Wu Ye was silent for a while, and said: "I understand, what the Tianjin Kingdom needs is just a guard dog, not a wolf cub that may bite back, if the guard dog wants to be a wolf cub, break one of its legs, let it know who the real master is!"

The mountain monkey laughed, laughing with tears: "Thirty years, a full thirty years, Wu Gongzi is the first person to say this, others dare not say, don't want to say, can't say, can't say! That's right, I pondered for a long time before I figured out this truth, there is already a Jingchu country in the south of the Tianjin Kingdom, of course I don't want to see a new Jingchu country appear behind my buttocks, so I suppressed the momentum of the rise of our Wuwei Kingdom in advance!"

Wu Ye nodded and said: "Of course, you can't say this to anyone, even the new King Wuwei, first, no one will believe your words, it will only be used as an excuse for you to pass the buck; ”

The mountain monkey sighed: "That's right, out of a thousand tiger warriors, only one hundred and twenty-two survived in the end, and we discussed it for a long time, and we all felt that we couldn't say anything about it, but we could only put it in our hearts, like a tinder, save, burn, wait, maybe one day, this insignificant spark can turn into a raging fire again! Therefore, we have endured the spit, ridicule, and curse of all the countrymen, and we have shamelessly survived!"

"And then you were stripped of your surname, expelled from the ranks of your countrymen, and reduced to savages?"

"That's right, as a tiger warrior, but we didn't protect the monarch well, and even refused to judge ourselves afterwards, we became the most despised group of cowards in the Wuwei Kingdom! Not only were we deprived of our surnames, expelled from the ranks of the countrymen, and reduced to savages, but we were even forced to swear to the heavens that we would never practice martial arts again for the rest of our lives!"

In the Wuwei country, which advocates force, such a punishment is indeed more uncomfortable than death, and anyone with a little self-esteem is afraid that he will choose to judge himself, rather than stealing his life.

The mountain monkey sighed and said, "Wu Gongzi understands now, we 'savages' are different from ordinary savages, and we will never get a surname!"

"Not necessarily. ”

Wu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Time has passed, thirty years have passed, and the monarch has changed three, and there may not be anyone who remembers your past shame! What's more, I heard that the new monarch's style is different from that of his predecessor, and he is ambitious, and he wants to reform the law, enhance the national strength, and want to open up the northwest again, so that the Wuwei Kingdom can rise again! Since the Niutou Walled City has such strength, as long as there are people who can speak in Tongchuan City, if they want to regain recognition and become a countryman, they may not be impossible. ”

The mountain monkey smiled bitterly: "But, where are we going to find people who can speak well in Tongchuan City?"

In Wu Ye's mind, the shadow of Princess Qinglan suddenly popped up.

After thinking about it, he was a little strange: "By the way, old man, it's not that you are not allowed to practice martial arts anymore, why do I look outside......"

The mountain monkey blinked his eyes and laughed a little slyly: "We tiger warriors really can't cultivate martial arts anymore, but we don't say that our descendants can't cultivate, right?

"Oh?" still have something to do with me?

After listening to the old man's introduction, I realized that the remnants of the Tiger Benshi were deprived of their identity as Chinese people, and after being expelled to the wilderness, they were indeed honest at the beginning, and they did not practice any martial arts.

They found the beautiful land of Niubiliang, settled down, and reclaimed the wasteland, just like ordinary farmers, even their wives and children did not know their past, just as they were a group of relatively civilized savages.

It's just that this place of Niubiliang, although it is rich in products, is often infested with fierce beasts, ruining crops, harming people and animals, often hard for half a year's harvest, and being spoiled by fierce beasts within a day, and because he once swore to the sky, he couldn't practice martial arts, and he couldn't even go up the mountain to hunt.

In a particularly bad year, I had to flee the famine.

Originally, the old man thought that he had a son who had passed on to the Wang family, so he traveled thousands of miles to Zhongyang Town, but was kicked out mercilessly by Wang Biao.

After returning to Niubiliang, the old man was seriously ill, and after he recovered, he looked at his skinny wife and children and the crops that had been ruined by the fierce beasts, and more than 90 tiger warriors who were still alive gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, found a small loophole in the oath, and taught his children all the martial arts and the methods of fighting on the battlefield to his children, and erected this bull-headed walled city.

"From today onwards, a radius of 100 miles is the territory of the Bullhead Walled City! Any beast that does not have long eyes dares to take half a step, even if it is raised by the family of the Heavenly King Laozi, he must obediently chop off the claws of the Bullhead Walled City!"
