Chapter 191: The Battle of the Hundred Yue
"I said, they're not going to cook us and eat it. Baili asked fearfully.
"Bah, don't worry, your meat must be unpalatable. Ye Xiaoxiao always spared no effort to squeeze him.
"I think they should have taken the Thor Bronze Talisman to ask the patriarch for verification, everyone should be calm for a while. Yu Zhong said.
Sure enough, after a while, someone came to summon them, and the patriarch wanted to see them. Yu Zhong and the three of them went all the way to the largest wooden house in the village, which was the residence of the patriarch.
A man who looked no more than forty was sitting upright on the main seat. Yu Chong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, according to Ouyang Chun's statement, the patriarch of the Baiyue clan should be an old man, how did he become a middle-aged man.
I saw that the man was holding a bronze talisman in his hand and was carefully examining it. Seeing the three of them enter the house, he was the first to speak: "This Thunder God Bronze Talisman was given to you by Ouyang Divine Doctor?"
The patriarch of the Baiyue tribe even spoke the language of the Han people.
"I've seen the patriarch, it was given by Big Brother Ouyang. Yu replied.
"Well, the bronze talisman is indeed true, but how can I be sure that what you say is not false?" the patriarch questioned.
Yu Zhong told him how they met Ouyang Chun and everything that happened in between.
After hearing this, the patriarch nodded, and said, "Listening to what you said, it is quite similar to Ouyang Divine Doctor's style of acting. ”
He pointed to Yu Zhong again and said, "You, come forward." ”
I didn't know what the patriarch wanted to do, but Yu Zhong still obeyed the order and stepped forward. I saw that the patriarch suddenly stretched out a hand like lightning and clasped the remaining wrist.
Bai Li Shu and Ye Xiaoxiao were both startled, but they didn't expect that the patriarch's kung fu was not bad, and this buckle could see the clues.
But Yu Zhong was unmoved and did not panic.
"Why don't you hide, young man?" asked the patriarch in a low voice.
"We didn't come here with malicious intent, and I don't think the patriarch will attack us juniors, so why should I hide?" Yu Zhong asked rhetorically.
"Hahaha, well said. What you are telling is indeed the truth, you have indeed suffered a lot of internal injuries, and the people who can treat such internal injuries are probably no one else except Ouyang Divine Doctor. The patriarch laughed, letting go of his remaining wrist.
It turned out that he had just clasped the rest of his wrist, and he was checking his pulse to discern the truth of what they said. Unexpectedly, this patriarch is not only strong in martial arts, but also knows the art of disambiguation.
"We strayed into the land of nobility because we got lost, and we hope that the patriarch will forgive us. Yu Zhong said.
"You don't have to be afraid, our people have always been friendly with the Han people, and there are even many Han people settled in the cottage, and they are guests from afar, not to mention that you are friends of Ouyang Shenyi, so you will temporarily rest here today, and I will arrange someone to show you the way tomorrow." The patriarch said.
He beckoned, only to see many Baiyue girls walking up with sumptuous food and wine. Baili's eyes were straight, and his saliva flowed all over the ground.
"Look at the way you look at your eyes. Ye Xiaoxiao fell.
"You know what, I drool when I see food and wine. Baili replied.
After a while, all the dart masters were also invited, and before everyone could react, they suddenly changed from prisoners to guests.
Under the introduction of the patriarch, everyone learned that the old patriarch who originally handed over the Thunder God Bronze Talisman to Ouyang Chun was the father of the current patriarch, but unfortunately he had passed away half a year ago.
Two years ago, the Baiyue tribe suffered a strange plague that almost wiped out the tribe, and the plague spread to more than a dozen tribes within a radius of 100 miles, and the doctors of the tribe had nothing to do.
At this time, thanks to Ouyang Chun, who passed by and came to the rescue, he worked tirelessly, traveled all the sick tribes in a month, and cured the plague of the Baiyue people.
In order to thank Ouyang Chun for saving his life, the old patriarch entertained him warmly, and deliberately kept him to live for a whole month, and finally gave him a bronze talisman of the thunder god that represented the supreme power of the clan, and let his eldest son, who is now the patriarch, worship Ouyang Chun as a teacher to learn medical skills.
"There is such a story. Yu Zhong sighed.
"Since this thunder god bronze talisman was given to you by Ouyang Divine Doctor, it will be returned to you, and this thing is also a symbol of the friendship between our Baiyue and Han people. The patriarch motioned to the maid beside him and handed the bronze talisman back to Yu Zhong's hands.
"Patriarch, I heard that this bronze talisman also represents the supreme power of the Baiyue clan, what is going on?" asked Baili Hao curiously.
"You don't know, this Thunder God Bronze Talisman has actually been passed down for hundreds of years in my Baiyue clan. The patriarch spoke eloquently.
It turns out that this thunder god bronze talisman has been a symbol of the patriarch of the Baiyue clan since ancient times, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the patriarch.
Although the Baiyue tribe is divided into many tribes, all tribes share a patriarch, and when there is a conflict or war between the tribes, the patriarch comes forward to reconcile.
From dealing with the imperial court to small clan affairs, the patriarch is the highest decision-maker. If there is a situation where the patriarch cannot be separated, he will authorize the messenger holding the Thunder God Bronze Talisman to act on his behalf, and the leaders of all tribes must obey the order, which shows the significance of this Thunder God Bronze Talisman in the Baiyue Clan.
"I didn't expect this little gadget to be so useful. Bai Li Shu took the bronze talisman and said carefully.
"How can we take such a valuable thing for ourselves, why don't we return it to the people of Baiyue on behalf of Big Brother Ouyang. Yu Zhong suggested.
"Do you really want to return such a useful thing......" Bai Liyu was very reluctant and asked quietly.
"Brother Yu is right, this is the most precious thing of the Baiyue clan, and it will be returned to others soon. Ye Xiaoxiao also said.
Baili had no choice but to reluctantly return the bronze talisman.
"A few people who are so high-spirited and bright, they are worthy of being friends of Ouyang Divine Doctor, and I won't tell you that if there is no Thunder God Bronze Talisman, it is really a bit troublesome. The patriarch frowned and said.
"Is there any trouble, can we help?" asked Yu Zhong quickly.
"Here's the thing......" the patriarch elaborated.
The Baiyue people, in fact, are not a nation that can get along well with the Han dynasty, and have been hostile to each other for hundreds of years. After the establishment of the Southern Han Dynasty, because of the softness of the policy, the contradictions between the two sides eased slightly. But even so, relations between the two peoples have not been fundamentally improved.
But the old patriarch was a far-sighted man, and he believed that if the Baiyue people wanted to enjoy a long peace and a stable life, they must live in harmony with the Han people, and he had this goal all his life.
He not only promoted sinicization, traded with the Han people, but even allowed the Baiyue people to intermarry with the Han people, and the relationship between the two peoples finally began to improve, but the kind of resistance to the Han people that had been buried in the hearts of the Baiyue people for hundreds of years could not be eradicated overnight.
A strange epidemic brought him an opportunity. Ouyang Chun, who helped the Baiyue people through this difficulty, was a Han man, and his maverick character and non-discriminatory style against the Baiyue people left a deep impression on everyone.
Through this incident, many Baiyue people have changed their impression of the Han people, and gradually began to accept sinicization, and the goal of the old patriarch is finally possible.
But everything came to an abrupt end with the sudden death of the old patriarch. He didn't even have time to leave his last words, and he died, leaving only his unfulfilled dreams.
In the end, under the recommendation of the leaders of the tribes, the eldest son of the old patriarch took over the position of the patriarch. He has been influenced by the old patriarch since he was a child, not only learning Han culture, but also interested in Han martial arts, and finally even worshipping Ouyang Chun as a teacher to learn medical skills.
The succession of the new patriarch means that the policy of sinicization of the Baiyue people will continue, which arouses the dissent of many people who secretly oppose this matter.
Among them was the opposition of the youngest son of the old patriarch and the biological brother of the new patriarch. He united several tribal leaders who had always opposed Sinicization, and refused to recognize the identity of the new patriarch under the pretext of the disappearance of the thunder god bronze talisman, setting off a rebellion.
For a time, many tribes of the Baiyue tribe stood in line one after another, and they became two major factions. One faction is the reformers who support sinicization and are willing to live in peace with the Han people, and the other is the conservative faction who oppose sinicization and advocate that the Baiyue people must maintain pure blood.
As a result, the two factions quarreled endlessly, and eventually developed into a war between the tribes, resulting in numerous casualties. The old patriarch worked hard for many years, and the peaceful scene left behind was suddenly gone.
"Now that the Thunder God Bronze Fu has returned, the civil strife of our Baiyue clan may be able to stop. The patriarch said with emotion.
In fact, in recent years, the Baiyue people have implemented sinicization, and all the tribes have benefited more or less, but the Baiyue people have always taken the thunder god as a totem, and the thunder god bronze charm has been a symbol of the patriarch since ancient times.
The disappearance of the Thunder God Bronze Talisman caused many tribes that were swaying in the middle to be bewitched into falling to the side of the old school. Now that the Bronze Talisman has returned, their excuse for rebellion is no longer plausible, and all that remains is the diehards.
"Great, in this way, we can be regarded as doing a good thing for Big Brother Ouyang. Yu Zhong said happily.
Everyone raised their glasses, looking forward to the friendship between the Baiyue people and the Han people for a long time.
The banquet lasted until the second half of the night before it dispersed, and Bai Li was drunk, and Yu Zhong and Ye Xiaoxiao carried him back to the room.
"Miss Ye, you say, do you like our Yu Daxia, if yes, I'll be a matchmaker for you, hiccup......" Bai Li Xi burped and began to talk nonsense in a drunken confusion.
It's just that his continuous nonsense seems to have hit Ye Xiaoxiao's heart, and her two red clouds flew on her face in shame.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl Bingqing Yujie, don't ruin people's reputation. Yu replied.
"You...... "......Who knew that after hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao stomped his feet and ran away, leaving Yu Zhong alone to support a drunk pig-like Baili Shu, who was at a loss there."
