Chapter 260 The Difficulty of Dongyi, Haotian Chess
Wu Gang actually rushed to the residence of the royal court's envoy 'Xia Han' overnight since he received the information from the royal court, hoping to communicate with the royal court through Xia Han and alleviate the forced labor that was enough to crush the Dongyi clan this year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But in Xia Han's mansion, Xia Han, who had always been friendly with Dongyi and had befriended him Wu Gang, had completely changed his face, indifferent and domineering, which made people a little strange and afraid, and the brotherhood and friendship of the past were all lost, and this Xia Han was desperately pressed by the unchangeable and undelayable criterion of conscription, so that his persuasion all night was useless.
At the end of the morning, he almost had to kneel down and kowtow to Xia Han, and only at this time did Xia Han's eyes flash a trace of unbearability, but in a short moment, he was frozen by a more determined indifference. At that time, Wu Gang knew that the royal court of the Xia Dynasty had really given a death order, and the Dongyi tribe was to be integrated or destroyed.
At this time, when asked by the people in the tribe, Wu Gang couldn't help but sigh, he knew that this time he was only afraid that there might only be a quarter of the clansmen present. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, but after looking up to the sky and suppressing the tears I wanted to shed, I still said in a firm and unquestionable voice.
"Brothers and sisters, once the decision of the royal court is issued, it must not be changed, and our Dongyi tribe, as one of the cornerstones of the human race, can only obey. Although today's promulgation of conscription is indeed heavier, the tribe has decided that those who serve this time can receive treasures and weapons from the tribe's treasury as rewards according to the difficulty of conscription. ”
The Dongyi people who surrounded Wu Gang all turned pale at once, and the things in the Dongyi tribe's treasury were naturally extremely precious in normal times, but what was it in this forced labor that was almost all barbaric land, demon battlefields, and sea beast attacks? For most people, it was just one more burial item.
The scar-faced man who was closest to Wu Gang and had the martial arts cultivation of the Golden Immortal Realm looked around at the clansmen who had lost their spirit almost instantly, and gritted his teeth and asked Wu Gang: "Chief, the reason for our increase in conscription is that we are unwilling to change the customs, if you tell the Xia envoy that Dongyi is willing to change the customs, can you discuss this matter of conscription?"
When Wu Gang heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand to hit the scar-faced man, but in the end, he suddenly withdrew his hand, sighed lightly and said: "Our Dongyi tribe was the cornerstone of the human race barrier demon beasts during the Emperor period, and there were even characters like the Chiyou God of War during the Emperor period, and the current customs are all created by the ancestors and sages.
If we change this custom, we will change the ancestral system and deny our inheritance, our heels, and our origins, will we still be us then? How can we face our ancestors when we die in the underworld? When I see you, I can only cover our faces with our hair and bury ourselves in the wilderness after we die!"
As soon as Wu Gang's words came out, all the Dongyi people around him woke up, for the human race that had already appeared in the feudal imperial period, it was the most terrifying and unbearable thing to not be able to enter the clan cemetery after death and not have the face to face their ancestors and relatives in the underworld, which was even more unacceptable than having to face death while being alive.
Seeing that everyone no longer mentioned the change of customs, the pupils that had a glimmer of hope became more and more lonely and empty, and Wu Gang could only walk into his mansion by himself, what could he do? He was also desperate.
Although Dongyi claims to be one of the cornerstones of the human race, it was during the period of the Three Emperors, and since Chi You and the Emperor failed to compete for the position of Emperor of the People, Jiuli has been in decline during the Five Emperors period. At the beginning, the big tribes that were ranked lower than Jiuli all became vassal states that guarded one side independently, but Jiuli couldn't even keep the name of the tribe and could only turn into the Dongyi tribe.
By now, he has become a vassal of the royal court with no independent rights, and he does not even have the opportunity or strength to refuse the royal court's request, even if the demand is unreasonable.
Although Wu Gang walked into his mansion, he had been hiding behind the door and listening to the reactions of the clansmen outside the gate, and when he heard the clansmen outside the door leave with the scar-faced man with a little resolute greeting that regarded death as life, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief but also an irrepressible bitterness.
In fact, he knew that this kind of conscription would definitely put them in a desperate situation, and his current behavior was to push his fellow clansmen into the fire pit, but he could only insist on gritting his teeth and insisting that the clansmen would come back safe and sound with the blessing of their ancestors on the battlefield.
But his intellect also told him that such things were too few and far between, and that his expectations could not be fulfilled. So he still couldn't bear sympathy in his heart, and he once thought that if those clansmen were really willing to change the ancestral system and customs rather than serve, then he would be a sinner of the Dongyi tribe and take on the responsibility of the leader, change the customs and ancestral system, and give the clansmen the opportunity to become real 'Xia Dynasty people'.
Fortunately, the clansmen are not the kind of people who are desperate for their lives, and fortunately, the clansmen can understand the difficulty of his leader, and don't let him really know if he can survive the condemnation of his conscience and the pressure of public opinion, which is really a blessing!
Dinner time passed, but Wu Gang did not eat anything, he wandered around the courtyard and thought about how to make his people able to survive this conscription, and how to break away from the actual control of the royal court and become an independent vassal state after this conscription.
However, the chips left by the ancestors were too few, and the resources that the current tribe could only match were too few, even if he racked his brains with all his strength, and then rejected the eighty-seventh plan, he still had an empty head and no thoughts, and unconsciously ran out of mind and fell into a deep sleep when the moon was in the sky.
The Haotian God in the Heavenly Court, who had been paying attention to the Dongyi tribe, saw Wu Gang fall into a deep sleep, and immediately separated an idea from the Yuan Shen and sneaked into Wu Gang's sea of knowledge to build the Heavenly Palace Hall.
The reason why the royal court of the Xia Dynasty suddenly began to pay attention to this Dongyi tribe, which had become a vassal of the royal court because of its continuous decline, was because Haotian used his great mana and authority in the heavenly realm to promote the operation of the Ziwei Emperor Star, and aimed the Ziwei Starlight and the Imperial Dragon Qi at Dongyi.
And in this way, there was a turmoil in the imperial pattern of the Xia Dynasty, which was originally a reflection of heaven and man, so that the Qi Observation Warlock of the Xia Dynasty royal court made a plan to push the royal court to target Dongyi, and forced the reincarnation of Hou Yi, who carried the luck of the 'Wu Clan, Jiuli and Hou Yi', to have to fight against the Xia Dynasty royal court and become his pawn with peace of mind.
