038, extinct (II)
Xiling asked with concern: "Could it be that the people who can make this kind of bow and arrow are gone? There should still be people left in the Yu Clan, could it be that if the mountain city mainly sends an army to exterminate this clan? I don't think there is a need for this, you can refer to the Youyu clan to deal with it like that!"
Ruoshan shook his head and explained, he didn't plan to send an army formation through the reckless mountains to exterminate the Yumin clan, unless his soldiers could fly, it was unlikely that he could do it. However, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are now left among the Yu people, who are trapped in the wilderness and cannot intermarry with foreign tribes. This demon clan will not be able to survive for a long time, and will only gradually disappear silently, just like many demon clans that have appeared and disappeared in the long historical years.
Lord Xiling asked again, "Is there no one in the rest of the tribes who can make this kind of bow and arrow?"
Ruoshan replied, "There are still a few tribes, and their hunting bows have their own characteristics, but for you, Lord Xiling, their value should be far inferior to that of the feathered people's bows. This kind of bow and arrow, if the master is interested, can create a few more, but it is probably impossible to make them in batches for a long time, they are things that the Feather People have saved for many years. It is precisely because of its preciousness that I will let Lord Xiling bring it to the monarch of the country, if the rest of the property is too little to be respected, and too much for your retinue to carry. ”
Hearing this, Lord Xiling thanked Ruoshan again, and at the same time secretly scolded the big fish shell in his heart. If it weren't for the big fish shell colluding with the big hair, it wouldn't have ruined the Feather Folk clan, then it would be possible for this wild country to continue to supply this special standard weapon, which is much more important than other products.
However, the mountain master still made an ambush, the same bow and arrow, in fact, there are still seventy sets left in the Lu Village, which are also from the Yumin clan, which is enough for the soldiers of Shanshui City to use for their own use in the future. Although it is difficult to recreate new ones in large quantities, the most important thing in the bow is the bow ridge, and the string can be replaced with a suitable material.
And this ridge of the bow is extremely durable. If there are no accidents, it can be used for many years without damage. Even if there is a small amount of loss, with the skills of Shanye, Gu Xin and others, they can also repair and replenish. It's just that the use of this short bow requires a lot of strength and skill, and only those warriors who have refined the strength of the mountain can master it relatively easily, after all, the body structure of ordinary people and the feather people is different.
......
Just three days after the conflict in the Central Valley, all affairs were finally settled, and Lord Xiling led his entourage back to Ba Yuan to report to the monarch. The things they carried were not only the things that Ruoshan Castle had presented to the monarch, the fifty sets of bows and arrows of great strategic value, but also the personal gifts that the Lord of Ruoshan Castle had given to Lord Xiling. Anyway, the big thing has been decided, and you need to be as polite as possible to this envoy. What's more, Master Shan has never been a stingy person.
Xiling, with more than a dozen entourage, took more than ten days to get out of the wild mountains and see people again. Needless to say, I had to spend the night in a dangerous wild forest every day, and I encountered several heavy rains on the way, and was almost swept away by flash floods. Fortunately, with the protection of a group of masters, Lord Xiling was embarrassed and in danger, and finally returned to Bayuan safely.
Xiling can also understand in his heart why Lord Yuegeng led the king's order to go deep into the wilderness a few years ago. After arriving at Yuyu Village, he refused to go any further. He is still walking so hard under the known road conditions, at the beginning, Lord Yuegeng did not know the situation of the wilderness, only felt that the dangerous road was endless, and finally reached the place where there were tribes. Listening to Yu Da Shell and others introduce the situation in the wilderness, of course he thought that he could complete the task, and he didn't want to continue to suffer that kind of hardship, and he didn't expect to be deceived by Youyu Village.
Out of the steep mountains. The edge of Ba Yuan is actually a highland and mountainous area, scattered with many tribal villages, and the interval between people is only one day. And there is a way to go. This area is known as the "Highland" in the Somuro Kingdom, and the first castle you encounter further down is Takajo, and the current lord of Takajo is Etsuko-sama.
Of course, Xiling wants to enter Gaocheng to rest, and Yue Geng has been waiting for news from him for a long time. Yue Geng also hopes that this envoy can successfully complete the task, if the barbarian tribes form an alliance and build a city to become a vassal of the Xiangmuro State, although Lord Xiling has merit, but the more important credit is his Yue Geng. If there was no introduction from Yue Geng and the operation of these years, how could today's great success be achieved?
If Yu Da Shell becomes the lord of the Fish Castle, it will be the weakest and most remote city in the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and its status is equivalent to that of a vassal of the high city, and it will become the power of his Lord Yuegeng. As long as Yue Geng speaks a word, the fish big shell who is attached to him to achieve this achievement will of course obey his words. The barbarian tribes are allied and attached, and the biggest benefit after opening the road is, of course, also belonging to his Gaocheng clan, and Yue Geng can gain both fame and fortune.
Hearing that Xiling had returned from the completion of the king's order, Yue Geng rushed to greet him and set up a banquet to congratulate him. But before the banquet, Xiling called him into the secret room alone and talked in private. The city lord of Yue Geng was stunned when he heard this, and his face was very ugly.
Xiling knew that some things had to be discussed in private, otherwise some things would be too embarrassing for the Yuegeng City Lord to say in public. I think that Yue Geng had only been in contact with the fish people back then, and he also got a lot of benefits from the fish tribe, and the help of the Xiangmuro country to the barbarian tribe over the years was handled by Lord Yue Geng, and all of them were given to the fish people.
Now Lord Xiling has indeed fulfilled the king's order, but it is not the credit of Lord Yuegeng, what Yuegeng did has become the biggest obstacle to the alliance of various tribes, almost causing irreparable civil strife and mutual slaughter, and even Xiling, the king's envoy, has not come back. Fortunately, the mountain master had extraordinary means and still got the situation done.
Yue Geng has been supporting Yu Da Shell and Youyu Village, and now the barbarian tribes have formed an alliance and been sealed, but the city lord is Ruoshan that he does not know and has never touched, and Yu Da Shell is killed in public, and Youyu Village is also a slave. No matter how you look at this, it is equivalent to giving Lord Yuegeng a resounding slap in the face, if the monarch hears about it, what will he think of him?
Seeing Lord Yuegeng's face, Xiling also knew what the city lord was thinking, but what happened in the wilderness, he had to introduce it in detail, so as not to misunderstand afterwards, and persuaded with a smile: "The city lord of Yuegeng doesn't have to be angry, I think you were deceived by the Youyu clan back then, and it is difficult for anyone to avoid this matter, and I almost can't get out of this trip."
There are some things you don't have to think too much about, all the king wants is the result. As long as the result is there, as for the process, it is easy to say. The people of the kingdom only know that the lord of Yue Gengcheng went to the wilderness a few years ago, and guided the tributary envoys of various tribes to meet the king, and then they did not know who and who were in the deep mountains. ”
After saying this, Xiling took out another rhino ditch beast horn and said, "I heard that you wanted to find this thing when you went deep into the wilderness a few years ago, but the fish clan did not hunt the rhino beast. This rhino canal horn was hunted by Lu Village, and the lord of Ruoshan City entrusted me to give it to you, the lord of Yuegeng, as a greeting, and regret that I could not see you back then. ”
Yue Geng's face softened at this time, he also felt that Xiling's words were very reasonable, and seeing that Ruoshan, who had never met before, took the initiative to send such a precious gift, it seemed that he was very goodwilled, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Thank you Lord Xiling for your relief, and I also congratulate you on completing your destiny! This city lord is really ashamed, what he did back then almost affected you." Fortunately, this matter finally went well, and I also have to thank Lord Xie Xiling and make amends to you!"
Lord Xiling hurriedly said: "The Lord of Yuegeng City doesn't have to be like this, you and I have all worked hard to fulfill the king's life." Now that it is done, you and I have all the credit, and I will report it clearly to the king. ”
Yue Geng held the horn of the rhino canal beast and said: "On the banquet later, I will punish myself with a few more cups, and I will also pay tribute to Lord Xiling a few more cups! As for this rhino canal beast horn, I didn't dare to accept it, but this thing was going to be given to Chiwangqiu, and I would like to thank Lord Xiling and the Ruoshan City Lord for their kindness, he is very knowledgeable!"
Seeing this rhino canal horn, Yue Geng's mind came alive again, and he thought of a lot in a flash. No matter who is the master of the alliance in that wilderness, any relationship between him and Ba Yuan in the future will not be able to bypass the high city where he is located. Presumably, the Ruoshan City Lord exterminated the Youyu clan, and he was also very worried at the moment, if he wanted to gain his favor, he had to do more and behave more respectfully than the Youyu Village back then.
Lord Xiling couldn't see Yue Geng's thoughts, but unfortunately the rhino canal horn was not given to Yue Geng by Ruoshan, but a gift to Xiling. Xiling didn't want the newly sealed Shanshui City to be at odds with the high city outside the wilderness, so he took it upon himself to give it to Yue Geng in the name of Ruoshan to ease the tension between the two sides that might be caused by the past, but Xiling himself was not greedy.
But looking at Yue Geng's reaction, although he heard about the thrilling twists and turns that happened in the wilderness, he didn't take Ruoshan in his eyes, as if he was still planning to treat the big fish shell, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to stammer and send benefits. Lord Xiling only sighed secretly, he had a personal experience of horror, in comparison, this Yuegeng City Lord's means and personality were far from catching up with that mountain lord, if he really fought, I am afraid he would not be the opponent of the mountain lord.
In fact, Yue Geng can have today's status, and it is by no means mediocre, thinking that the fish big shell sent fish and swim people to give gifts, he turned his brain, and changed those people into messengers of the barbarian tribes to pay tribute to the monarch, so he made great contributions and won the reputation in the Xiangmuro country. As for what kind of struggle there was within the wilderness, this Lord Yue Geng didn't care, he only considered the interests of a higher level, as long as it was good for himself.
But with this mentality, many times you can't do what you are doing and should be doing. But these words, Xiling is inconvenient to say deeply, and when he talks about this, he walked out of the house with Lord Yuegeng, and the banquet officially began. (To be continued......)
