Chapter 175: Prove Our Martial Bravery!
Although he was a little jealous, Wu Ye didn't have any ill feelings towards this enterprising King Wuwei.
The Niutou Walled City was originally the blood of King Wuwei's personal guard "Tiger Benshi", and of course he would be loyal to King Wuwei.
If they were indifferent when they saw King Wuwei, but were loyal to Wu Ye, a stranger of unknown origin, then it would be a strange thing for their brains to enter the water.
Fortunately, Wu Ye was not ready to accept any younger brother, his purpose was just to repay his kindness, and he added a concern for himself, so as not to have demons in the future!
Seeing that this pair of monarchs and ministers are so harmonious, if they want to come to Mengyu, they will not be stingy with a surname, and their task is also completed, so they can rest assured that they can go to the Central Plains and embark on the real path of cultivation!
Wu Zhizhi said that he would leave tomorrow anyway, and if there is anything he can't say, it's up to him to say it!
He said cheekily: "Your Majesty, we all want to be given a new surname by the king, become a countryman, form a new tribe, and serve the king and the Wuwei country!"
I thought that Meng Yu would be very happy to agree, this kind of small tribe of more than 700 people became a countryman, there was no need to discuss with the minister, the monarch alone was arbitrary, and issued a parchment document!
Unexpectedly, Meng Yu's face darkened in an instant, and he let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
Shanjia was stunned and said:
"Your Majesty, do you think that we, the descendants of sinners, are not worthy of becoming countrymen again and have a surname?"
Meng Yu's face was even more depressed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zhao Xiong, the military affairs officer next to him, couldn't hold it back and took a step forward. Loud Voice:
"For the sake of the rise of the Wuwei Kingdom, the king tried his best to recruit the heroes of the world, and he tried his best to recruit the heroes of the world, and he tried his best to make all the heroes reckless because of the dusty old things thirty years ago? When the king heard that the descendants of the tiger warriors had spread out and formed a new tribe, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He actually stood alone for half the night under the statue of Li Gong outside Tongchuan City! How could the monarch not want all the strong men to become Chinese people?
Shanjia didn't think so highly of himself as Mengyu, and his lips trembled for a long time. I can't say a word.
Meng Yu waved his hand, stopped Zhao Xiong's words, and his face returned to calm. Like a pool of bottomless well water, he sighed lightly and said:
"Niu Shaozhai Lord, Brother Shanjia, you really didn't come at the right time! If you came half a year earlier, Meng Yu would not only give you a surname without hesitation, but even give you a fief, so that you could directly become a noble! It's a pity that Wuwei Kingdom is now using troops to the northwest, since you are from Shuangshi City. You should know that there have been a lot of disputes between the DPRK and China over this matter, and there are many dissatisfaction on the part of the Tianjin Kingdom, if you are given your surname with great fanfare at this time, you will become a countryman......"
Meng Yu's eyebrows formed a small pimple. After thinking about it repeatedly, I didn't know how to explain my hardships to the two warriors.
Unexpectedly, before he could continue, the "Niu Shaozhai Master" nodded first:
"Your Majesty, there are some things that can be said but not done, and some things that can be done but not said, send troops to the northwest. If the Heavenly Jin Kingdom is only sending troops to the northwest, the Tianjin Kingdom may be able to tolerate it, but at the same time as sending troops to the northwest, the descendants of the Tiger Benshi will all become Chinese people, and this is an open provocation to the Tianjin Kingdom! Even if the Tianjin Kingdom is facing an unprecedented war in the Central Plains, it is impossible to tolerate such a harsh sound from behind his buttocks!"
Meng Yu looked at Wu Ye in great surprise, there was no such mountain village man who analyzed the key points so clearly in one sentence, and couldn't help but admire:
"Among the blood of the Tiger Benshi, there are heroic people like the Shaozhai Lord, and the Tiger Benshi is rising again, and it is just around the corner! The Shaozhai Lord is right, using troops in the northwest is a major event that Meng Yu and the ancestors have planned for a whole ten years, once launched, they will carry the power of thunder, sweep the wasteland, and reproduce the power of the Li Gong era thirty years ago! However, the controversy in the court is also very great, especially the lord and faction headed by the Cao family, with the secret support of the Tianjin Kingdom, really gave Mengyu too much pressure...... Meng Yu can only wait now, waiting for the elite of martial arts in the wasteland, and use one good report after another to completely extinguish the arrogance of the Lord and the faction!"...,
With a wry smile, Meng Yu continued:
"Before the expeditionary force has achieved a decisive victory, Meng Yu really can't tear his face with these lords and factions, and he can't give you a satisfactory answer, Meng Yu...... Worthy of your loyalty!"
Shanjia said movingly:
As long as the monarch has never blamed us, whether he has a surname, whether he is a countryman, I will go to the soup for the king, and we will not die!"
Wu Ye also knew that Meng Yu was not lying.
The "Lord and faction" in these years are not just rubbish who can only move their mouths, shake their pens, and lead the way for the enemy at most, they are all serious warlords with 800 soldiers, food, and territory in hand!
As far as the backstage of the iron wire gate, the boss of the lord and faction, and the Cao family, one of the three major families of the Wuwei Kingdom, is concerned, the Cao family has more than 20 fiefs in the east of the Wuwei Kingdom, bordering the Tianjin Kingdom, and only the Cao family is known in the fiefdom, and the king of Wuwei is not known, and there are 8,000 private soldiers in name, and only the patriarch of the Cao clan knows how many there are.
Regardless of the combat power of these private soldiers, one thing is certain, in order to support the Cao Clan, the cultivation sect of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom will definitely spare no effort to arm these private soldiers with Fu soldiers.
Therefore, the weapons of Cao's private soldiers may be more advanced than those of the Iron Eagle Guard!
There is such a "lord and faction" poking above the court, of course Meng Yu cannot be arbitrary, at least before the army completely clears the wasteland, he is a king, and he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.
Meng Yu pondered for a long time and said:
"Niu Shaozhai Master, Brother Shanjia, at this moment, it is impossible for Mengyu to give you a surname, but it can give you two choices! First, I will select a group of reliable clans, let you become members of these clans, have the surnames of these clans, and become a countryman in this way, how about it?"
Wu Ye and Shanjia glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads at the same time.
Meng Yu nodded and said:
"I knew it. The Tiger Benshi are the proudest warriors of the Wuwei Kingdom, how could their descendants choose such a quiet way to return? Then, Mengyu gives you a second choice, if you believe in Mengyu, wait another half a year, and after recovering the northwest homeland, Mengyu will definitely let you get what you want. Become an upright Niu clan!"
With a wave of his hand, he said to Zhao Xiong: "The sword is coming!"
Zhao Xiong held a rusty bronze ancient sword in both hands and presented it.
Meng Yu drew his sword in his hand. Swallowed out a three-foot sword, and suddenly slashed at a small tree beside him with all his might, and the small tree broke into two pieces silently!
Mengyu returned the sword into the sheath. Shen Dao:
"The ancestors of the Meng family are on the throne again, and the promise made by Mengyu today will be fulfilled within half a year, otherwise it will be the fate of this little tree! Let the two of them take it back as a witness and tell the rest that Meng Yu will never live up to any warrior loyal to Wuwei!"
Shanjia was moved to tears, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Just rely on your words, this sword." We are up and down in the Bullhead Walled City, even if we are nameless savages for the rest of our lives...... It's worth it!"
"What are these words? Meng Yu is still waiting for the day when he can cross the northwest and gallop through the wasteland with all the strong men!"
At this moment, the two Iron Eagle Guards walked into the patio with unkind faces and whispered a few words in Zhao Xiong's ear.
Zhao Xiong's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Said to Meng Yu: "Doctor Cao Yang is here!"
Meng Yu's eyes suddenly released two essences, and he gritted his teeth and explained to Wu Ye:
"Cao Yang is the head of the Cao family's generation, and he is also my Wuwei country...... Since he can find this place, he must have received the news and knew that you are coming! In this case, the two of you don't have to leave, let's see what the doctor wants!"...,
Wu Ambition said that those who came were not good, and those who were good did not come, and he destroyed the iron wire gate supported by the Cao family in Shuangshi City, and this doctor was not necessarily here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them, right?
However, in front of King Wuwei, this doctor will not be mad on the spot, at most he will be false with him, and then act again.
Anyway, King Wuwei promised that he would give Niutou Walled City a surname after half a year, and even took out the family heirloom sword, which cannot be denied, and his task was completed.
Thirty-six plans to go up, it's a big deal to smear oil on the soles of your feet, and slip away!
Wu Ye wasn't afraid of what the consequences would be if he destroyed the Iron Wire Gate, he was afraid that his killing of Yan Zhenren would be discovered by the Liuyun Sword Sect and send a large number of masters to hunt him down, which would be terrible!
With the sound of an unhurried wooden staff tapping on the ground, a white-haired old man dressed plainly and with a solemn expression walked into the patio and saluted Meng Yu meticulously.
Wu Ye looked at the biggest leader of the Wuwei country with great interest, and only felt that this duke was dressed like an ordinary village elder, if he walked on the road, no one would look at him more than half of his eyes, and even his eyeballs were covered with a layer of white, and he couldn't see through his true thoughts.
If you don't say it, who would believe that this prince is the head of a wealthy family with tens of thousands of private soldiers and dozens of cities, and a dignified doctor of Wuwei country!
"These two are the descendants of the former Tiger Benshi, right? Sure enough, they are the Jiangmen Huzi, and they are worthy of their reputation!" When Cao Yang spoke, the white puff in his eyes actually dispersed a little, and after finishing speaking, the white puff condensed again.
Although he knew that this old man must be eager to cut both of them with a thousand knives, after Wu Ye and Shanjia looked at each other, they still pretended to be flattered and didn't dare to say anything.
Cao Yang smiled faintly, ignored the two, and said directly to Meng Yu:
"Your Majesty, since you know that the bloodline of the former Tiger Benshi has formed a new clan, should you give them a surname and let them become countrymen and serve the country?"
Wu Ye, Meng Yu, Shanjia, Zhao Xiong, and the four of them were all taken aback.
The reason why I can't give a surname to the people of Niutou Walled City right now is because I am afraid of the lords and factions of the Cao family, as well as the Tianjin Kingdom behind the lords and factions!
No, the old fox Cao Yang brought up this matter first, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?
Meng Yu hesitated for a moment, still unable to figure out Cao Yang's thoughts, and hesitated:
"Doctor Shang is right, but the remnants of the Tiger Benshi made a big mistake thirty years ago and were expelled from the family. It is a well-known thing to deprive the countrymen of their identity, and the bloodline of the Tiger Benshi cannot be regarded as an ordinary savage tribe. Even if Meng Yu had the heart to give them a surname, he had to be careful...... Gossip still needs to be considered in the long run!"
Cao Yang let out a dry and sharp laugh:
"Hahahaha, your lord's words are wrong. Now that the war is about to start, it is the time to employ people, if the descendants of the tiger warriors really have the demeanor of a father. is a real warrior, of course, he should be given a surname and serve the country! Who dares to say half a word of rumors. The Cao family was the first to not let him go, hahahahaha!"
Meng Yu's face was cloudy, and he reluctantly said, "What Doctor Shang said is very true!"
Cao Yang nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "However, the gentleman is thoughtful, and it is not unreasonable, thirty years ago, the shame of the tiger warriors, there are still ignorant villains hanging on the lips, and even calling the remnants of the tiger warriors a gallless rat! If it is so easy to let the descendants of the tiger warriors become Chinese people, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of criticism, and it will not be fair to you strong men!"
Don't wait for Meng Yu to interject. Cao Yang paused for a moment and continued:
"The old minister is incompetent, but he has come up with a way to block the mouth of the people of the world! As long as the strong men of the Niutou Walled City can be in front of the public. Prove your martial prowess, you can make all opponents have nothing to say, I don't know what the king thinks?"...,
"This ......"
Meng Yu's face was embarrassed, and he had to ask, "How does Doctor Shang think that they can prove their martial bravery?"
Cao Yang smiled faintly. He also specially glanced at Wu Ye and Shanjia, and said, "According to the old example of our Wuwei Kingdom, the conclusion of the three battles is determined, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ye suddenly scolded in his heart, this Cao Yang is really an out-and-out old fox!
Hundreds of years ago, when the Wuwei Kingdom wanted the savage tribes in the wasteland to submit, in order to show off their strength and not hurt each other's roots, they often used the three-battle battle to replace the real war.
The specific method is to have a number of people from both sides to hold three competitions, a horse fight, a foot fight, and a hand-to-hand battle between the generals of both sides, and win two in three games.
The two sides agreed in advance that if the Wuwei side wins, the savage tribe will submit to Wuwei and bow down, and if the Wuwei side loses, a large number of herbs, weapons, and food will be sent.
It's just that as the national strength of Wuwei Country gradually grows stronger, the savage tribes in the wasteland are gradually no longer opponents, and most of them take the initiative to submit, so there is no need to hold such a troublesome competition at all.
In the last 100 years, this kind of fighting has become a kind of etiquette, only symbolic.
Cao Yang suddenly proposed such a move, obviously preparing a group of brave men a long time ago, wanting to abolish all the people in the Niutou Walled City in the competition, not only to avenge the iron line gate, but also to demonstrate to Mengyu on behalf of the Tianjin Kingdom.
Even if we can't abolish all the people in the Niutou Walled City, as long as the Niutou Walled City is defeated, where will there be any face to put forward the demand of "becoming a countryman"? It must be in the midst of the ridicule of the people of Tongchuan City!
For Meng Yu, who is arrogant and wants to restore the hegemony of Li Gong, it is also a big blow.
If you don't agree to this old fox, I'm afraid it won't work!
Wu Ye can be sure that this old fox has definitely made a second plan, if the bull head city does not agree to fight, he will let out the wind, saying that "as soon as the descendants of the former tiger warriors heard that they were going to move seriously, they were so frightened that they didn't say a word, and they fled in the wilderness!"
In this way, after half a year, what reason did Meng Yu have to give them a surname?
"This is a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, the old fox is really vicious!"
Sure enough, before Meng Yu could speak, Cao Yang, the old fox, let out a crow-like laugh again:
"Hahahaha, the old minister knows what the king is worried about! In the past, in order to compete with the savage tribe, Wuwei specially raised a group of 'fighting soldiers' in China, but now there has been no competition for more than 100 years, and there are no 'fighting soldiers' for a long time, and most of the elites in the country are fighting in the wasteland, for a while, who is looking for to compete with the strong men of the Niutou Walled City? If the selected fighting soldiers are too weak, it is too easy for the strong men of the Niutou Walled City to win, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced, hahahahaha!"
He suddenly suppressed his smile, the wrinkles on his face spread out like a sword, and the whiteness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, revealing a pair of extremely clear eyes.
Cao Yang stared at Meng Yu with a solemn tone:
"The old minister is not talented, there are a few useful people in the house, of course, they are not the opponents of the Tiger Benshi bloodline, but it is enough to block everyone's mouth! If the king agrees, three days later, on the White Sheep Beach outside Tongchuan City, a ring will be set up, and 300,000 people in Tongchuan City will be invited to enjoy this once-in-a-century competition together, how about it?"
With sharp words that were almost forcing the palace, Meng Yu was forced into a corner by this old fox, and was silent for a while.
Wu Ye can do everything, of course he understands that this is the only chance for everyone in the Niutou Walled City, if this should not be a fight, the Cao family will definitely release the news in a big way, and slander the blood of the Tiger Benshi to the point that the body is incomplete!
When the time comes, the bloodline of the Tiger Benshi will never recover, and it will never be able to turn over!
But if you say yes...... Seeing that Cao Yang is confident, he also knows that he will definitely pick out the most elite private soldiers!
Can the descendants of these Tiger Benshi win at least two fights?
Just when Meng Yu hesitated, he heard a categorical voice:
"Your Majesty, please allow us, the savages of the Bullhead Walled City, to fight with the generals in the Doctor's Mansion, we, the mountain villagers, will definitely not disappoint you!"
Meng Yu was taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw the "Niu Shaozhai Master" looking at him expressionlessly, and in a pair of bottomless eyes, there was a flame-like light!
