After passing the three levels, our group was recognized by Ah Cha Lan and the Manjiang people, who raised their hands over their shoulders and shouted to the crowd, "The people of Chang Weiguo, these messengers are fearless warriors, and we should offer them the highest respect of our Manjiang people, and treat our most respected guests with delicious food and wine."

"Knock-knock-knock" "Bang-bang-bang" The young men beat the leather drum with both hands, shaking an iron ring with a copper bell, this kind of musical instrument we have not seen, but the music is pleasing to the eye, there is a unique flavor, the girls followed the beautiful music and danced the unique dance of the barbarian ginger people, twisting the bewitching waist and hips, moving the footsteps, and gradually alternating their hands to the top of their heads, shouting "Hey-hey"

Acha made a gesture of invitation to the capital: respectfully invite the envoy to enter the village

As soon as I returned to the tribe, Ah Cha Lan arranged a place for our group, not to mention that Ah Cha Lan arranged quite a house for me, Tie Shan and Tie Feng two people in a house, leaving Li Zuo-Li You-Li Pingping and a few of them in a room, Ah Cha Lan also sent someone to send us a few clothes and took the changed clothes to clean, Li Zuo and a few of them fell on the bed after changing their clothes and leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, at this time there is nothing more comfortable for everyone than lying down and resting

After Li Yang changed his clothes, he came to the tribe to inquire about the residence of Elder Hunaji, and the kind-hearted barbarian Jiang man told him that Elder Hunaji had been living in the temple, but I didn't know where the temple was, so the kind-hearted man raised his hand and pointed to the north, "You go over there until there is a building at the foot of the mountain, that is the temple of our barbarian ginger people."

According to what he said, Li Yang quickly found the temple of the barbarian ginger people, the temple of the barbarian ginger people to worship the gods is not much bigger than their housing, and the architectural style is not much worse than the house, that is, there are a few more pillars and a layer of eaves, each pillar is engraved with a human face, an eagle beak holding a magic weapon, stepping on the clouds, a warrior, and the two-story eaves are carved with birds and beasts and some sacred beasts throughout the year

As soon as he entered the temple, he saw two statues of gods in the middle of the main hall, one was a blue-green thunder god, it seemed to be a monkey face, it did have a sharp eagle's beak, a pair of wings on the back stretched high to the sides, the left hand held a magic weapon thunder wedge, the right hand held a thunder mallet, the body was strong like a wrestler, and the other was a red god of fire, it had a fierce and vicious face, hair and flames, round ears, four long arms, each hand held a magic weapon, respectively, a sword - fire gourd - a holy fire - a whip, wearing a golden red armor

Elder Hunaji was kneeling in front of the two statues of the gods and praying, Li Yang did not come forward to disturb when he saw this, but waited quietly on the side, he looked around and found that the walls around the hall had cracked in several places, and the wood used had also rotted a lot, he glanced at the two statues again, and found that the paint of the two statues had fallen off to varying degrees, and it seemed that the temple enshrined by the Barbarian Jiang people had not been repaired for many years

After waiting for a while, Hu Naji finally finished praying, his legs struggled and slowly got up, Li Yang saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and Elder Hu Naji realized that I was coming: Li family master can't help it, I've been waiting for a while

Li Yang: I didn't wait long, I just came here for a while, Elder Hunaji is thanks to your help today, or a few of us will move, and I also ask Elder Hunaji to be worshiped by the juniors, if there is something that can help, the juniors will not postpone it

After speaking, Li Yang was about to bow down to Elder Hunaji, and Hunaji helped me up when he saw this: Master Li, you don't have to thank me, I also got the guidance of the gods, if you want to thank these two gods, thank these two gods

Li Yang knelt on the ground and put his hands together in front of the two gods: the two gods are invited to accept the first son's worship, thank the two gods for helping the first son and his party survive the disaster, so great grace The first son does not dare to forget that when the two countries are armistice, the first son is willing to build a temple for the two gods

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to Hu Naji's heart, and Hu Naji's excited mouth and hands have been trembling: What you say in front of the gods of the Li family must count, you must not deceive the gods, that is to be punished by heaven

Li Yang smiled slightly: Elder, don't worry, what I said definitely counts, you might as well think about how to build the temple first, and then you can start building a new temple when the truce comes

Hu Naji nodded: I really have to think about it, the head of the Li family forgives the old man for daring to ask how much money you plan to spend to build this temple

Li Yang thought about it carefully: Elder Hunaji, I plan to take out 10,000 taels of silver to build the temple

Hu Naji laughed loudly, "Haha, the head of the Li family, we are barbarians like to deal with people like you, don't worry, I will try my best to dissuade him."

Li Yang: Then you will have to worry about it

Hunaji: The head of the Li family doesn't have to be so polite in the future, and I am also paving the way for the future of the clan

From the time he went to the Manjiang Capital to kill a few of us, and to Elder Hunaji's words to save our group, Li Yang saw that the rights of the Changwei Kingdom were divided into two types, one was the royal power and the other was the divine power, and the influence of the divine power in the Manjiang people would even override the royal power in some cases, with the full support of Elder Hunaji, it was already half of the success to promote this peace, and the Buddhism Youyun saved people's lives and built a seven-level floating slaughter, and once the peace was successful, thousands of lives could be saved from the suffering of war. This is a great merit, how can this life be counted without loss

In the evening, the Manjiang people held a grand bonfire dinner for our group, and King Acha Lan as the master of his seat was facing the dazzling bonfire, Elder Hunaji Dorjee and some of the leaders of the Barbarian Jiang sat on the left hand side of Acha Lam in turn, and our group sat on the right hand side of Acha Mur in turn, and after taking their seats, a group of Barbarian Ginger girls prepared rich food and wine for the people present

Ah Cha raised his hands and shouted to the crowd, "Celebrate, people of Chang Weiguo", the barbarian Jiang musicians played their unique music, men, women and children around the bonfire, holding hands in several circles, they moved their steps in one direction, sometimes running, sometimes stopping halfway through, stretching their feet out, shouting in unison, "oh-oh", the seemingly simple dance made everyone happy

A few hospitable barbarian Jiang people invited us to join their celebratory team, Li Yang hurriedly waved to Li Zuo-Tieshan and the others to let them celebrate together, at the beginning they were a little embarrassed and their steps were relatively stiff, but following the footsteps of the crowd, a few of them quickly integrated into it, facing a table of sumptuous food, Li Pingping was really out of appetite at this time, he seemed to be sluggish and looked at King Achalan intently

Li Yang followed his gaze and looked at Ah Cha Lan, and at a glance he saw the brute ginger girl who fed Li Pingping food during the day, it seems that my brother is sick with lovesickness, not to mention that this girl is really beautiful, if she can marry her into the family, it will be considered a blessing for our Li family, and the Li family should also add a happy event this year to make a wish of the mother

Ah Cha looked at me: I don't know what to call the envoys

Li Yang bowed with both hands: The one under Li Yang - the one who lifted the top is my brother Li Pingping - the two who broke the sword formation are my cousins Li Zuo and Li You - those two are the swordsmen on the rivers and lakes, Tie Shan and Tie Feng, they are both the leaders of the Alan County militia

Ah Cha muttered "Haha", it turns out that several envoys are generals who lead troops, no wonder you are so brave, come to honor the king to give you a cup

Li Yang picked up the wine glass and saluted Ah Cha and the leader of the barbarian ginger present: Drink together-drink together

Seeing Li Yang drink the wine all the time, Cha Mu not only cheered loudly, "Good-happy", this glass of wine is enough for four taels, and Li Yang not only fought a cold war, but after a while, he picked up the wine jug and gave himself three glasses of wine, Ah Cha Mo asked with a puzzled face: Respect you This is

Li Yang picked up a glass of wine and saluted Ah Cha Lan: King Ah Cha Lan has offended a lot during the day, and these three cups of wine are to make amends for your sins, and I hope you have a lot of them

Saying that, Li Yang put the wine glass to his mouth, and Zou dried the wine, "Ah", put down the wine glass, he sipped his lips, and dried the remaining two glasses of wine.

Ah Cha waved his hand and the commanders picked up the wine glasses: The leaders actually made three glasses in a row so happily, so how about we also toast three glasses in a row to honor the envoy

"Good"

Ah Cha and several leaders at the same time to themselves three glasses of wine, they looked at each other and picked up the wine glasses together, people who are not very strong enough to drink only to hear a "poof" sound and squirted out a sip of wine, Dorjee and several leaders pointed at the leader and laughed loudly, the leader himself couldn't hold back the laughter, he wiped his mouth with his hand, "What are you laughing at, I drank too much and choked"

After drinking another bowl of wine, Ah Cha muttered his arm to his thigh: What is the position of the envoy in the official residence of Zhejiang

Li Yang: I don't have an official position, I'm just a cloth dress

Ah Cha Mo and several leaders heard this, and the smile on their faces disappeared in an instant: The officials of Zhejiang were all dead, and they were still frightened by Chang Weiguo, so they sent a cloth cloth to be a messenger

"My lord, I think the officials of Zhejiang must have been frightened, so I sent a cloth cloth."

"Yes, that's right"

Ah Cha Mu: I respect you as a man, don't embarrass you, wait for tomorrow morning and your group will go back

Li Yang: How can I tell you about this, let me show you something first, it can prove my identity

Ah Cha Mo was a little puzzled: something

Li Yang took out the seal letter from his body, handed it to the guard on the side, and asked him to present the seal letter to Ah Chalan, when the guard walked to Ah Chalan's side, he reached out and took the seal letter and took a closer look, "All over the world" Isn't this just an ordinary seal letter, I don't see anything special about it

Li Yang: There are only two seals in Zhejiang, one is in the northern frontier army, General Wang Benna, and the other is with me

Achalan: I really don't see that such a small play should have a lot of rights

After saying that, he asked the guards to bring me the seal letter

Li Yang took the seal letter from the guard's hand and put it in his arms: Originally, I also had an official position, but because of some trivial matters, I became a cloth cloth and now I am dedicated to business

Acha: Then what kind of official were you before?

Li Yang spared a wry smile on his face: The garrison in the north of Taizhou is not a big official

Ah Cha Mu: I'm a little confused, since you are now in an unofficial position, how can you get involved in this war?

Li Yang: This matter is a long story, although Li has no official position, I do command this team of 6,000 people, and the government of Zhejiang and Chang Weiguo broke out in war, and the government asked me to lead troops to help quell the war

Ah Cha gasped: An army of 6,000 people is enough to change the course of a war, is these 6,000 people an army that you feed yourself?

Li Yang nodded: Well, that's right

Acharan: You raise so many troops, don't you just ignore it and let it go?

Li Yang: I can raise so many villagers is also due to the current situation, Taizhou Linhai when there are East Wa Haikou invaded this group of beasts to plunder property to torture and kill the people for pleasure, and Zhejiang is barren from time to time There are wars that can not support the huge army, which causes the defenders in various places to catch up with the invasion of the Haikou can not resist at all, the militia led by me has twice defeated the Haikou 20,000 people, the official family in order to enrich the local defense this is the Alan County militia group, the government allowed me to establish a militia There is also a prerequisite, that is, the outbreak of war militia militia has to obey the dispatch of the official family

Acharan: That's the case, if you can support so many people, then you are wide enough

Li Yang: I'm just a businessman who does some small business and makes a little money

Acha: I see that several of you have some skills, so why don't you come to me and give each of you a leader?

Li Yang: I thank you for the fact that King Acha Lan looks up to our brothers, but we are all mountain and wild villagers and are used to being free, so please forgive me, but I am very willing to make friends with you and you

Acharan: Come on, let's have a drink together

Putting down the wine glass, Li Yang leaned over to Ah Cha Lan: There is one thing I have never been able to figure out, King Ah Cha Lan, can you please give me a lesson or two to eliminate the confusion in my heart

Ah Cha Mo was already a little drunk at this time: But it doesn't hurt to say it

Li Yang: Then I'll be straightforward, I see that the people of your department are simple and hospitable like people who like war, and I don't know why Chang Weiguo provoked a war for no reason and let the people suffer from the scourge of war

Ah Cha snorted coldly and "hum" provoked a war for no reason, Duoji, you come and tell him why we are opposed

Dorjee: Changwei country is small and there are many people, and the people here mainly rely on cutting down trees, picking herbs, hunting, fishing for a living, although the life is not rich, often hungry, but we have lived here for hundreds of years, we have long been accustomed to it, every year we Changwei country nearly 1,000 people are starved to death

Li Yang: Then the government doesn't encourage you to reclaim wasteland?

Dorjee: It is the government that encourages us to open up the wasteland to make us poorer and poorer, according to the law of Zhejiang, the land reclamation needs to pay one or two silver per mu, the government allows this person to open up the land in Changweiguo, the land tax and other harvested grain in the payment, there is no grain, the government will lend us the grain, is this interest is a bit high, borrow 2,000 catties and repay 4,000 catties, think that 2,000 catties of grain is enough for a family to eat for a year, the rest of the grain can also be planted, as long as a few more acres of land are opened, in order to make the family's life better, a few more acres of land and the government set up a note

If you want to reclaim new fields, you can only go to the mountains farther away, and the land in the mountains is not more than 300 catties of grain per acre in other places, and it is more than 200 catties of grain to be reclaimed from the government

In the second year, in order to repay the grain owed, the people here worked desperately to reclaim the fields, and the family of 3-4 people was tired and tired, and the amount of land he could plant and the grain he collected was still not enough to pay back, and the government would take back the reclaimed fields to pay off the debts

If you can't survive farming, you have to think of other ways, so the people here go into the mountains to collect medicine-hunting meat-fur-timber what to get outside to exchange the grain back, the price of herbs and furs has been misplaced, how much money can be left after the food needed for a year, Chang Weiguo wants to sell these goods to Xiangshan County is the only way, the government and the merchants are embarrassed to force the people here to sell the goods to them, but the price given by this group of merchants is too low, only the market price is 20%, They can make 80% of the profits by selling the goods here

Li Yang: The price given by the merchant is low, so why don't you take the goods to another place to sell?

Duo Ji Zou took a bowl of wine: Then you have to be able to go out, you may not believe that Chang Weiguo only has one road to the outside, the government will set up cards along the way, as long as the people here want to take the goods out, the officers and soldiers will arrest people, hit dozens of boards, they are light, serious and they are simply arrested to do coolies, many of them are sent to the fields they have cultivated before to do coolies

Li Yang gritted his teeth when he heard this, and he couldn't help but raise his hand for a while and slapped it on the table and shouted angrily: What is the difference between this TM and bandits, then why don't you try to report to the official

Dorjee: It's not that the people who haven't tried to go to Ningbo to report to the government have not come back, a while ago there was a family to marry a father and son to the mountains to catch a tiger, as long as the tiger skin was sold enough for them to buy the required items, the father and son were full of joy to bring this tiger skin to the county to think that it could be sold at a good price, but the merchant only gave 300 Wen money, the father and son saw that the money was less and did not plan to sell, the merchant did call a group of thugs to snatch the tiger skin, the father and son wanted to take the tiger skin back, but they were beaten to death in broad daylight, The clansmen took the county to ask for an explanation, and they were all arrested and put in prison, and they also wronged the father and son who saw the money and robbed the businessman's tiger skin and were killed

Li Yang: Dorjee, what you said is the truth

Dorjee raised his right hand: In order to prove that what Dorjee said today is not true, he is willing to suffer the punishment of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart and die without a place to bury

Ah Cha Lan also raised his right hand: I, Ah Cha Lan Chang, the 17th generation of the Wei Guo, am willing to be the witness of Dorjee, if it is not a hard work, I will be punished with the same punishment

Li Yang: King Achalan, when you attacked Xiangshan County, the people of the government and those profiteers did not leave some alive

Ah Cha's eyes glared slightly, "Hmph", when we broke through Xiangshan County, the people there were killed by us, Xiangshan County said that it was a county, but in fact, it was a village, and the people living in it were all government winners and chamber of commerce guys, you said we should not rebel

Li Yang sighed lightly: If King Achalan were replaced by me, I would also be opposed, but I don't think things can be generalized, after all, people and animals are still different

Hearing this, Ah Cha and several leaders raised their heads and laughed, "Yes-I was honest with you when you came, but now I look at you more and more pleasing to the eye-haha"
