Chapter 52: The sky is like a dome and looks down on the four wilderness
How could a woman who could dominate the north back then be a simple character?
The untimely death of Urhu Dadan coincided with the confrontation between the left and right kings in the north, and the seventy-two parts of the north were divided into two factions, which were evenly matched.
Jiang Yan carried the four-year-old Ukuru Autumn Hunt, put her little husband in her quiver, and was dizzy.
At the end of a hunt, the left and right kings all approved Ukoru to make a new big order.
Some say that Ukoru is too young to be overwhelmed.
They are not even willing to call him "Shan Yu", let alone "Da Shan Yu".
Jiang Yan just smiled, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and pointed at everyone from afar: "But I'm the Da Yan clan." ”
The wind swept over the mountains and blew open the hem of her skirt.
The sun sets and the moon rises.
She is the coldest light in the North, sheltering his people from the sun in the long dark nights.
Until, a new sun rises.
But the gloomy clouds covered the sun.
Now, Da Dan Yu Ju clan went west, forgot who was not good, but forgot the big Yan clan who held the purple scroll and gold book.
Liu Ji had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and instantly understood the whole point of this farce.
In the king's tent, all of Liu Ji's most loyal subordinates were gathered, including Zhen Ying, who was so idle that he was playing dusters on the side.
"Abandoning the royal court and cutting off the northern border, Da Shan is crazy?"
"What shall we do?"
"Where's Tocao? Chen Hucao, how long do we have enough grain and grass? ”
Everyone was panicked, and the feeling of abandonment was like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's hearts.
Zhen Ying sighed, and the army's heart was in turmoil.
She originally followed Liu Ji to the north in order to find the saint Maiden, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the royal court, she pounced.
There was a miserable mist in the king's tent, and only Liu Jizhizhu was in his hands.
"None of this matters."
He smiled and raised his hand to reassure everyone.
"Whatever is planned and then moved, in the past few days, I have figured out the trick, and it is not difficult to break the situation."
Zhen Ying stopped dusting and looked up at the young prince in front of him, who was much calmer.
In just one or two days, he became the backbone of everyone in the expectation of everyone.
"Da Dan Yu and the Da Yan clan are not in agreement, and now Ukoru abandons the royal court is fake, and it is true to cut off relations with the Da Yan clan."
His address to his biological father changed from "Father Khan" to "Ukoru".
From the beginning of Liu Ji's march with the straggler refugees, the crowd gathered around him, and gradually became a tribe independent of the seventy-two tribes.
"Ukoru thinks he is full-fledged and allows disgruntled nobles to destroy the icebreaker, and I can roughly guess that he wants to wrest power from the House of Elders."
There was a whisper below, and it was clear that the steadfastness of the faith and the reverence for royal power of the vast majority of the people did not allow them to make such a rebellious conjecture.
Zhen Ying looked at Liu Ji, the young man had clear eyebrows, and he could even be called personable.
"I know that you don't want to believe it, if it's true or not, just ask the Da Yan clan."
"Indeed." There are people who have a deep understanding of the situation, and they also analyzed the context of the matter in an instant: "If the Da Yan clan is here, not to mention a mere 5,000 people, it is 50,000 people of grain and grass, not a problem." ”
"Yes, if I am a great clan, I will definitely have grain and grass in my hands."
"In other words, if you find the Great Clan, you will be able to spend this spring?"
Some people see farther: "But if there is no woman climbing the holy mountain and stepping on the ice, no matter how rich the grain and grass of the Da Yan clan is, it is only a temporary plan." ”
Some people don't believe it: "How can the Da Yan clan meet us?" ”
Ukoru gave up the royal court because the royal court couldn't take it away at all.
The reason for giving up the Great Clan is that the Great Clan cannot be persuaded at all.
"Closing the Dead", in this world where everyone can practice, is tantamount to the most resolute resistance.
Liu Ji smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and caught a little fool who was conspired and tricked.
"The 'Snow Mountain Order' is here, if you don't believe it, you can ask the 'Snow Mountain Order' to take a look."
Liu Ji was apprehensive, everyone was happy, and Zhen Ying was confused.
What order?
Snow Mountain Order!
What is this?
Relic of the North.
Liu Ji spread out his hand, Zhen Ying had no choice but to hand over the Laoshizi worth 30 million merits, which made people shake around.
"Really, it's really a snow-capped mountain order."
Zhen Ying knew that this thing was worth 30 million merits, but how to use it......
She doesn't know!
However, Liu Ji was full of confidence and seemed to have made up his mind that he could rely on this "Snow Mountain Order" to open the door of the Da Yan clan.
Everyone settled down for a moment, and began to think about the next thing.
"Even if the Da Yan clan has food in stock, it can cope with it for a while, but it is not a long-term solution. Before leaving, Ukoru threw down the second princess who was able to pass Sun Rui and asked her to participate in the selection of saints. ”
"Good calculation."
"Just ......"
"Just what?"
"The second princess is unwilling." The squire whispered.
"It's not just unwilling!"
The maid answered: "The second princess said, she is dead, dead outside, jumping from the Holy Maiden Peak, and she should not be a Rausch saint." ”
The ball was kicked back to Liu Ji's side.
The selection of the Holy Maiden of the North is actually demanding.
The first item has to be a cultivator, otherwise you don't have the aura to protect your body, and if you rush up the mountain, you will freeze to death.
The second item has to be a pure girl, this definition of "pure", Zhen Ying can't understand it for the time being, but according to the understanding of the people in the north, it has to be an unmarried girl.
It is better to have a little bit of heaven and earth, the dumb cannot tell lies, the blind girl cannot see the dirt, and the deaf cannot hear the noise.
This kind of person has the purest mind.
The population of the north is scarce, and widows who can bear children are always more sought-after than unmarried women.
It is generally difficult for aristocratic girls with disabilities to marry, after all, no one knows whether their natural disability will be inherited.
In addition to aristocratic women, aristocratic men also have Han women from Middle-earth, or plundered female slaves to choose from.
There is a crippled aristocratic girl? Only a fool married and went home to offer it.
If these girls are not favored at home, they can only choose a saint or go to the elders' house to serve the saint.
To put it bluntly, it is a form of "human sacrifice".
In the old days, the North was known as a wild land, and many cruel customs remained.
For example, "human sacrifice", such as "living sacrifice".
In the old days, most of the wars were fought for water sources and pastures.
In a word, it is to divert internal contradictions through external wars.
This kind of operation is never uncommon, and the ruler himself is not virtuous and incompetent, and fails to lead his people on the right path, so he spreads the pain through war.
Everyone is doing poorly, will it be much better in their hearts?
Contradictions may not be transferable, but damage is still done.
The invaders live in temples and even receive offerings from their descendants.
The captives captured in the war, the young and strong can be used as cheap labor, and the women can intermarry to solve the problem of ethnic reproduction.
The elderly, children, and the disabled, will eventually be disposed of in a "sacrificial" way.
Cruel and realistic.
With the development of the times and the changes of the world, many useless customs were gradually abolished.
Only the tradition of "selection of saints" still survives to this day.
……
There is no shortage of pedestrian paving on the road.
Pilgrims, as well as maidens, always face the trials of the wind and snow with the greatest piety.
The road, although winding, is not steep.
It's not hard to walk on a sunny day.
But Liu Ji knew that they couldn't wait for the next sunny day.
It is impossible for the Da Yan clan to really get out of the customs for a "Snow Mountain Order" that he doesn't know whether it is true or not, he needs chips.
A "new saintess" is both weighty and sincere.
Cooper's younger brother Taman escorted Jiang Yu - but he didn't get there.
He participated in the Snow Mountain Incident that year, and this time he took the initiative to lead the way, hoping to atone for his sins.
Said to be an escort, just to send people to the foot of the snowy mountain.
