Chapter 015: [External Trouble] (II)

I'm Liu Bei.

I said aloud.

"According to Elder Shan, the line of communication with the outside world is the lifeline of our clan's survival, and now it is controlled by the White Snake Village, just like the fate of our clan is in the hands of others. In the long run, how can we talk about the happy life of our people? Not to mention the valley, to escape the court's encirclement and suppression of our clan in the future. ”

"Our clan has more than 2,000 martial arts practitioners, and even more sophisticated weapons, if we can't even eradicate the White Snake Village, then what reason do we have to escape the encirclement and suppression of the court? Therefore, it is hoped that the four elders will consider this matter more carefully. ”

After speaking, he glanced at them, and all four of them had a happy look on their faces. Especially the third grandfather, who was already overjoyed.

He stood up from the banquet, walked quickly to the middle of the hall, knelt down to the closed door, and shouted: "Holy Maiden, grant my people the ability to come into the world, and the day of our people's escape from doom is not long in coming!" ”

I wondered, why was he so excited?

One by one, the other three elders left their seats and bowed down to the closed door. It turned out that the door of the hall was painted with a picture of a saint stepping on lotus clouds and flying to the moon. It turned out that they believed in the fairy Chang'e. Everyone knows that Chang'e ate the golden pill and flew to the moon. Presumably, the holy medicine in the temple must be a symbol of the golden pill.

After the four of them knelt down and saw my look of astonishment, Elder Shan explained, "Seven years ago, there was a once-in-a-century flood on the Baihe River and several nearby rivers. Floods have inundated the farmland in the valley, and the slopes have been slippery due to heavy rains, making it impossible to catch fish or hunt. ”

This went on for a month, and all the grain in the clan was empty. The tribesmen could only rely on wild grasses and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and another half a year passed. Elderly people began to die in large numbers due to their prolonged semi-starvation. ”

"At that time, there were rebellions all over the world, and there were all small fights. However, the Han court was very busy, and more importantly, the weapons of the court were rusty because they had not been used for many years, so they were in urgent need of weapons. ”

"Before that, we also sold some weapons, all of which were dozens of pieces that were shipped outside in exchange for some food. Therefore, Yaya's father, the previous patriarch, in order to solve the survival crisis of the clan, took the initiative to contact the Jizhou Prefecture with more than a dozen weapons to do weapons business. Because our weapons were sharp and tough, they were quickly recognized by the state. Moreover, at that time, the Jizhou Thorn History also lent us thousands of stones of grain, which solved the food crisis in the clan. However, an even greater crisis arose. ”

"At best, the food crisis has taken the lives of us old and immortal, but the young people and children of the tribe can still survive. They were hit by the autumn when the floodwaters receded, and the crisis was resolved. However, now that the clan has a connection with the Jizhou Prefecture, how can the court allow a nation that can build excellent weapons to exist? Once the rebellion outside is put down and the world returns to tranquility, then the court will not hesitate to encircle and suppress us in order to prevent another rebellion. At that time, our people will be wiped out, and it will be difficult to save them. ”

"So, for years we have been looking for a suitable patriarch successor to lead us out of this catastrophe. When Yaya's father was alive, he was optimistic about Li Fujun. Indeed, at that time, he studied very hard, and his mind was also smart and smart, but he was a little brutal, discriminating against people who practiced martial arts, and he was even more impetuous. So, none of the four of us agreed. Now, the Holy Maiden has given you to come to the clan to save us, and just now the four of us pretended to agree to succumb to the obscenity of the White Snake Village, in order to test your talent and foresight. Sure enough, as expected, you are a genius from heaven and have a unique vision. You will lead my people, and I am sure that no one in my people will be dissatisfied. Our people's doom of escaping and exterminating the race is just around the corner! ”

Elder Zhao said so many words in his heart in one breath, and his face was full of comfort. Elder Baili also took advantage of this opportunity to hand over the patriarch token: "Please ask the patriarch to take charge of the token." ”

It seems that just now they agreed to show weakness to the White Snake Village in order to test me, if it doesn't pass, Elder Baili will always keep the token. And I, the patriarch, will also find a reason to abolish it.

Thinking of himself becoming the patriarch is really thrilling step by step, but he is born step by step. There was a rush of excitement in my heart.

He took the token with both hands, and when he put it in his arms, he heard the four of them say in unison: "The old man (decay) has already thought it through, supports the patriarch's decision, and dismisses the White Snake Village." ”

I sat back at the desk and waved my hand: "The four elders understand the righteousness, and with the support of the four, the patriarch believes that in the near future, the people will be able to live a well-off life." ”

As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door of the hall. The elder of the Zhao clan was furious and yelled at the door: "What's the matter? Don't you know if you can't interrupt during the discussion? He mumbled and went to open the door.

The corner of the hall door was opened, and Zhao Zangfeng hurriedly said: "Father, Li Da was beaten by the white snake thief and was hanging at the entrance of the village!" ”

Elder Zhao closed the door of the hall with a "boom", walked over and said, "That dog leg in the White Snake Village committed murder and beat people, did you immediately cut off his dog's head?" ”

"Even the White Snake Village is going to be dialed, are you still afraid of that dog mongrel?" The third grandfather said angrily.

"Patriarch, what do you think?" Elder Baili asked quietly. It can be seen that if it is divided into two poles according to the calm and reckless character, Elder Baili belongs to the calm type, and the third grandfather is the reckless type. It's just that there are far more human personalities than these two, and their complexity can be said to be the most complex in the world.

"Not only don't cut off his dog's head, but also treat him well." I said calmly.

"What does the patriarch mean?" The third grandfather asked.

"That dogleg is just a small character, it's not interesting to mess with him." Elder Zhao said in understanding. Seeing that the third grandfather was puzzled, he said, "Let's ask the patriarch to show it." ”

It seems that he deliberately gave the third grandfather a step down, and also gave me the opportunity to show my talent. His way of life is really tight.

I opened my mouth and said, "The White Snake Village is so anxious to get these weapons, let them get them themselves." In the game, let's come to an ambush, hit them all over the ground to find teeth, and also take the opportunity to extinguish their arrogance and weaken their strength. But before that, we have to hold them high in the air, so that we can be proud. ”

The third grandfather thought for a while, and said knowingly: "The old man understands, so he will order it." ”

"Third grandfather, wait a minute. I'll have to do it myself. I stopped, afraid that he would not be able to stand the thief's arrogance and mess things up.

So Elder Zhao shouted, and the door of the hall opened from the outside. I walked out of the lobby. First, walking slowly like this can show your momentum, and secondly, the wound on the right chest is still painful from time to time, and walking slowly will reduce the pain a lot.
