033, Banquet and Blade (II)
Under Ruoshan's questioning, Yu Da Shell secretly glanced at Xiling, and replied as tall as possible: "I have the largest population of the fish clan, located on the main road to and from the mountain, and is the closest to this valley, and has the advantage of fish and salt, and is the most prosperous and powerful tribe here, so I should take on this responsibility." After the tribes formed an alliance, mobilizing the manpower and material resources of each tribe to build a city and open a road was equivalent to their own affairs. ”
The idea of the big shell of the fish is very beautiful, and with the support of the Aimuro country, he wants to turn the central valley occupied by the former Shimizu clan into his fief, and build a castle on this fief to claim to be the lord of the castle. Of course, Yucun could not build the city alone, so in the name of the tribal alliance, he ordered the tribes to do this, and he could also take the opportunity to control the resources and properties of the tribes.
Ruoshan smiled: "Big Shell, I understand what you mean, you want the monarch to give you a fief of the central valley, and let the tribes build a city for you in this fief, and then you, the city lord, will order the tribes to dig mountain roads." ...... Have you been dreaming during the day lately?"
Immediately, someone shouted: "Big Shell, this central valley is everyone's place, and it has become your fiefdom, so what should we do?...... Do you want everyone to help you build the city and open the way, and listen to your orders in the future?"
Yu Dahu hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, my purpose is only to get the support and assistance of Pakistan, and there are too many things outside the plain that we don't have but need. As for the construction of the city, it is also to protect the safety of the residents of all parts of this place, and they can no longer encounter the fate of the Qingshui clan back then. At that time, everyone will be allies, and of course they can all live in the city, just obey the unified distribution and deployment. ”
Xiling also spoke: "A few years ago, Yucun sent an envoy with gifts to pay tribute to the monarch, and the monarch thanked the tribes for their kindness. Farmers and craftsmen were sent here to bring utensils and seeds. And to help the people learn to farm and master the skills, which is good for everyone. The monarch had no intention of ruling the land directly. I just want to reward the lord of the tribal alliance, and if there is something here in the future, I know who to contact. ”
Another person shouted: "Oh, it turns out that Da Shell has already taken so many benefits from Pakistan, and now he even wants to occupy the entire central valley, and let us all build a city and open the way for him! But we have not received any benefits, why should we listen to you?" Some people shouted: "No wonder Da Shell is so generous today, inviting us to eat fish, it turns out that we are reaping the benefits, and we want to continue fishing." Do you really want to treat us all like fish?"
Xiling also glanced at the big shell of the fish, and said loudly with an unchanged face: "Don't misunderstand, patriarchs, the king's reward is not only given to the fish village, but to the people of the barbarian tribes. Youyu Village occupies a favorable location, and I got all this first, but I have come today on behalf of the king to let all the tribes in the mountains benefit from it. ”
Yu Dahu hurriedly interjected again, and he shouted loudly, "Everyone. The Youyu clan did get the help of the Ba country, but it was the barbarian tribesmen who the king wanted to reward, so it was necessary to form an alliance. After the alliance is made today, the benefits enjoyed by Yucun belong to the entire alliance. This is also what the envoy means. ”
Ruoshan looked at Xiling and said, "Lord Envoy, do you mean that?"
Xiling replied: "The monarch has ordered me to assist the tribes in forming an alliance, and to give the clan the title to the lord of the alliance. And sealed the land of the original Qingshui clan to help it build a city and open the way. ...... Mountain Lord. Are you against this?"
Ruoshan shook his head and said, "Of course I don't object to the alliance of various tribes, and building a city to open a road is also a long-term move. It is good for all tribes. But this central valley is the fief of the original Qingshui clan, and now it has been occupied by various tribes, how can it be owned by Yu Da Shell, the patriarch of Youyu Village, and make each tribe his vassal?"
Someone immediately chimed in: "What Master Shan said is right, if we can form an alliance, it would be good for everyone to sit together and eat fish often." But if we want to elect the leader of the alliance, of course, it should be the mountain lord, and if the monarch wants to seal the city lord, he should also seal the mountain lord! ”
Ruoshan asked Xiling again: "The king's order is to give the fief of the principle Qingshui to Yu Dahu, and then he is ordered to be the master of the alliances of the various ministries?...... If this is the case, it is not reasonable, and it will be difficult for the tribes here to listen. ”
Xiling hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not the case! The monarch did not designate anyone, whoever can become the lord of the tribal alliance will be rewarded by the monarch." This fiefdom originally belonged to the country of Pakistan, and the state affairs have their own etiquette and law, and the reward must also have a reason, otherwise it will be difficult for the monarch to stand and the people will not accept it. ...... Big Shell, just tell me your reasons!"
He is not a fool, and if he can be appointed and reused by the monarch in such an era, he must have some outstanding talent, and mediocre people will hardly get ahead. He can become an envoy, of course, much more knowledgeable than ordinary people.
Xiling has already seen that it is not impossible to establish a tribal alliance here, but it is obvious that the person who has the prestige and can get the support of various tribes is Ruoshan, and the real "troublemaker" is precisely the patriarch of Youyu Village, Yu Da Shell, because Yu Da Shell has his own ambitions. When Lord Yuegeng first came here, he didn't know how to investigate the situation, but he chose to support the fish shell?
Lord Yuegeng passed through Youyu Village, and the monarch of the country received benefits and was made the lord of the city for meritorious service. And Yucun has received a lot of help in the Xiangmuro Country in recent years through Lord Yuegeng, which has further fueled the ambition of Yuda Shell. But the most difficult problems were left to Xiling, the envoy.
Xiling knew that Youyu Village had prepared a hundred-man army formation on the edge of the valley, which should be used to suppress the opponents, and even if he wanted to persuade Yu Dahu at this moment, it was probably impossible. He understands people's ambitions, and with the help of Xiangmu Country, Yu Da Shell has been preparing for several years, and has trained a powerful military formation, and he will never give up willingly.
If he turns his face later, the choice of Yu Dahu's should be to attack Lu Village and deter all departments. As long as Lu Village is defeated here, the central valley is occupied, and the surrounding roads are blocked, the tribes may have to obey their orders.
In this way, Xiling seems to have accomplished his mission on the surface, but is this really the result that the monarch wants? He is here to promote an alliance among the various tribes, not to provoke civil strife in the wilderness, which may arouse the hatred of all the tribes except Yuyucun, but only to realize Yudahu's personal ambitions. Therefore, in this situation, Xiling should try to avoid conflicts, and can only talk about the etiquette in the country from the perspective of the monarch.
Yu Da Shell was obviously prepared, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, a few years ago, Lord Yue Geng, the envoy of Pakistan, was received by me from Yucun, and the team to meet the monarch was also sent by Yucun. Since the fall of the Shimizu clan, there has been no one in charge of each department, and it is extremely difficult to survive in the mountains.
Let's not talk about this, if the envoy wants to talk about etiquette, then I will talk about etiquette. The Shimizu clan was originally the leader of the barbarian tribes, and this central valley was also the place where their ancestor Li Shimizu was entitled. And our ancestors of Fish Village came here with Lord Li Shimizu, and Fish Village is a subordinate of the Shimizu clan. The Shimizu clan does not exist, but the Yuyu clan is still there, and it is natural to inherit its fiefdom. ”
Xiling asked Ruoshan: "Master Shan, what do you think, is what the big shell patriarch said true?"
Wakayama replied, "Your Excellency, please move, I want to show you another thing." After speaking, he took the lead in getting up and walking out of the shed, and Xiling also followed.
As soon as Xiling moved, several people standing on the edge of the shed also followed, they were Xiling's personal guards, to protect the monarch in case of any accidents. When Ruoshan walked out of the shed, he picked up a knife on the table of the other patriarch, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
When Ruoshan came to the clearing, he held the bone staff in his left hand and raised it into the distance, and the people of all the tribes who were watching the excitement around him let out an exclamation. I saw a boulder with a five-foot radius flying in the air, flying steadily over everyone's heads, and falling lightly in front of Ruoshan's feet. Such a big stone, even the strongest man can't move it! The mountain master actually used the bone staff to pick it up, and it flew in front of him in the air, and when it landed, it didn't splash a trace of dust.
Ruoshan suddenly cast a spell, and the guards around Xiling, including Yu Da Shell and others in the shed, were very nervous, and they were relieved to see that he had no intention of attacking anyone. A guard whispered in Xiling's ear: "This is not the skill of the imperial weapon, but the magic of the imperial weapon, the bone staff in his hand is a magic weapon, this person has at least four realms of cultivation." ”
Xiling brought four masters of the Four Realms with him this time, three of whom had already joined the military formation of Youyu Village at the moment, and one person who stayed by his side to protect him, and it was this person who was speaking. Xiling himself is not a monk, but he is also knowledgeable, and he knows that this is a magical means. However, the boulder flew over like this, and it was difficult for him to tell what kind of realm the caster was, and only a true monk could sense it clearly.
The boulder fell to the ground, and Ruoshan immediately stepped forward and slashed down with the knife in his hand. The knife was sharpened from obsidian, and it was very sharp and hard, so it was no problem to use it to cut meat and kill people, but if you cut it such a large stone, it would definitely break. But to everyone's expectations, only to hear a click, the five-foot boulder was cut in half, and the section was very neat, as if it had been cut by a giant blade.
Everyone let out a roaring cheer, and Ruoshan turned around and said, "Lord Envoy, do you know what kind of kung fu this is?"
It was the guard who whispered a few words, and the stunned Xiling came back to his senses and said: "Kaishan Jin, Wu Ding Gong! You can actually use a stone knife to use your internal strength to penetrate external objects." This is the divine skill taught by the monarch of Pakistan in the training of his own guards, how could you be? And you have practiced to such a level!"
In fact, without the need to be reminded by the guard, Lord Xiling can also recognize what kind of kung fu this is. Among the entourage he brought this time, in addition to the four monks specially invited, there were also six warriors who had cultivated to open the mountain, and three of them had practiced to the realm of martial arts. They are all the personal guards of the monarch of the Prime Room, but their skills are far less amazing than those of Wakayama!(To be continued......
