Chapter 144: Chaos (Part II)

At the northern end of the Rongfeng Continent, north of the garrison of the Beizheng Army, in the vast ice and snow.......

The three ancient tribes are clustered and settled, where tens of thousands of thatched huts are densely built, although these thatched houses are simple, but the layout is very regular, one by one to expand outward and cover hundreds of thousands of kilometers, if the immortals overlook from a high altitude, you can see that in this hundreds of thousands of kilometers of mud and snow mixed land, the three grand ethnic groups live like three huge circles of finished glyphs standing proudly. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is proud to stand upright, because although the northernmost place of the Yuntian Continent is vast, but the living environment is extremely bad, there is only less than a month of sunny weather after the beginning of summer in a year, and the rest of the season is either freezing rain or heavy snow, blizzards and hail are frequent visitors, and even more blizzards and hail come together, at that time, the ice ball the size of a head is like a cannonball to the sky and smashes with the blizzard, flowers, birds, fish, insects, people, beasts, and poultry can not survive, and the Sangu clan calls this weather "the end of the world" , which they thought was God's punishment for them.

But fortunately, the "last days" are not common, but even so, it is difficult to live and reproduce on this permafrost, but the people of the Sangu tribe have insisted here for generations and have taken root steadily, they rely not only on the desire to survive, but also on the fact that their people have been exercised and nurtured since childhood, and the people of the Sangu tribe must leave their parents when they come every winter and go to the deep mountains and pine forests further north to hunt for March, which is called "winter hunting".

Although the first winter of the five-year-old can be accompanied by his parents, from the second year onwards he must go alone, and the most cruel thing is not only this: there is a rule about the "winter hunt", the game brought back is scored according to the value of the judgment, and after five years, these children will be added up to the points each winter, so from then on, these will participate in the "winter hunt" The status of children in the clan is divided by the level of their scores, but there are many unwritten rules behind the seemingly fair, such as snatching other people's prey, for example, among the prey obtained from hunting, the most expensive and the highest score is the corpse of other children who also go to "winter hunting.......

"If you want to survive in a cruel environment, you must first be more cruel ......to yourself", the people of the Sangu clan know their reason, although they are cruel, but they have to do it as a last resort. Although there will be disputes where there are people, most of the people of the Sangu clan will still help each other and live in peace after the "winter hunt".

There were signs that the land of the three ancient tribes began last year, and the "end times" were a little earlier than in previous years, and now in less than half a year, the "end times" have ravaged the land of the ancient tribes twice!

In the middle of the word "product", there is the only place in the circle of three tribes to build a house with a flat rock, in addition to only doing the use of the three tribes once a year to worship the gods, it is only used as the only "Grand Duke" residence of the three tribes on weekdays, the so-called "Grand Duke" is the high priest jointly elected by the three tribes, although there is no real power among the three tribes, but it has supreme prestige, the reason why the three tribes are called the three tribes, although it is regarded as a community in the eyes of outsiders, but it is actually a different clan living in the same place, which shows that this can be elected as the "Grand Duke" How many feats and honors have been established among the three tribes.

At this time, in the residence of the "Grand Duke", by a huge bonfire, a few people sat in a circle, silent.

"Chief Xia, Chief Yu, and Chief, my suggestion has already been mentioned, why do you still insist on it today?"

The middle-aged man who was called the head of the man sat opposite the old man's campfire, wearing a full fur coat, the cuffs of his waist were tied with animal tendons, his figure was not burly, but he was quite powerful, and there were two men standing behind him with crossed hands, these two men were very similar to this head, but the color of the fur was slightly darker.

The leader was silent for a moment, got up and took the lead in saluting the old man, and said respectfully: "The signs of the 'end times' are so obvious, we have to think about the descendants of my clan, and ask the Grand Duke to fulfill it!"

This was replaced by the "Grand Duke" The old man frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at the woman on his right. This ancient woman is not as big and round-waisted as the outside world rumores, only slightly taller, but her sense of fitness is better than those delicate fireworks women in the hinterland of the Rongfeng Dynasty.

The clothes worn by this woman were made of tiger and wolf animal skins, which were obviously different from those of the head, and the cuffs of her clothes were decorated with fine animal bone threads, and there were several strings of animal bones around her waist as a lining. The woman sat on the ground with her right elbow propped on one knee, and shook her head slightly with her thumb against her lower lip, as if thinking.

"Xia Chang, although you are already the head of the family, I watched you grow up, and now you don't listen to me?" the Grand Duke seemed a little annoyed, but still dignified.

The woman was Xia Chang, although she didn't say anything, but behind a burly man on the left hand side of the Grand Duke, there was a guard-like entourage who seemed to be unable to hold back, but as soon as the man raised his foot, he heard Xia Chang whisper: "In front of the Grand Duke!

The burly man on the left hand side of the Grand Duke snorted coldly, opened his palm slightly backwards, and signaled the entourage to retreat, and then the burly man said half angrily: "Xia Chang has such a big temper!"

"As far as the matter is concerned, although our opinions are different from those of the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke is still the Grand Duke!" Xia Chang wiped his nose with his thumb, stared at the burly man opposite and frowned.

The burly man snorted coldly again, and did not look at the Grand Duke or everyone, his tongue circled his upper and lower lips, and said proudly: "Providence is so! My Yu clan is willing to fight for a fertile soil for the descendants of the clan, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, as for the meeting of the three clans...... I don't think I need to open it again, there's no need for that!" The burly man got up and wanted to walk out of the dwelling.

"Chief Yu is insisting on going to war?" the Grand Duke looked up at the burly man who was about to leave.

"Don't bother the Grand Duke, our clan has been preparing for war for a long time!" said the burly man with his back to him.

"With Tang Yun here, you can't fight him!" said the Grand Duke with a sigh.

"Not necessarily!"

"Not necessarily!"

The two "not necessarily" are from the head and Xia Chang......

The swampy land of South Vietnam.......

There is a kind of ethnic group in the land of Nanyue that breeds here, and the three ancient tribes in the north are different, they only have a unified title: "Xianyue", also known as "Yue" or "Nanyue ancestors", although the living environment here is accompanied by miasma and insects and snake venoms, but it is also a place where water and grass are luxuriant, so after thousands of years of generations of experience, this famous clan began to prosper. Soon, a group of people from the ancestors of the Yue people stood up, unified the large and small tribes, and established a unified regime, which is now the Xianyue Kingdom.

Xianyue people are talented and intelligent, more capable craftsmen, especially after the establishment of the country, the ruler will be a lot of craft utensils production, housing and bridge construction and other methods and technologies are all recorded, and heavily hired the country's famous craftsmen to the capital to publicly explain and teach, for a time advocating the wind of technology is very strong, so after the founding of the country hundreds of years later, the first Yue descendants are out of the blue, the rising stars emerge in endlessly, the national strength of the first Yue country has taken off rapidly, and even once reached the level of being able to compete with the Rongfeng Dynasty.

However, the Xianyue Dynasty has never been at war with the Rongfeng Dynasty, and the two have always been friendly neighbors who coexist peacefully, although the Rongfeng Dynasty has ambitions, it is indeed afraid of the weapons in the hands of the Xianyue people, and those things are used on the battlefield, and their power is immeasurable. However, the more jealous it is, the more the Rongfeng Dynasty wants to have it. On the other hand, on the side of the Xianyue people, no one refused, but patted his chest and said: As long as the negotiation is completed and the barter is made, I will give as much as you want, choose whatever you want, whoever hides is a bastard!

When the Rongfeng Dynasty happily bought back a large number of weapons, and still relished that they had taken advantage of them, more and more people informed them that they had come up with something new...... Again and again, when the Rongfeng Dynasty was almost emptying its pockets, some people proposed to learn their knowledge from Xianyue in order to solve the problem fundamentally! So the Rongfeng Dynasty sent a large number of scholars and craftsmen to visit and study at other people's homes.

Naturally, the Xianyue people still warmly welcomed, not only did not take a penny but also ate and drank and lived, decades later, this group of Rongfeng scholars and craftsmen returned to China after learning, and promoted what they learned in the country of the Rongfeng Dynasty, but just when the people of the Rongfeng Dynasty thought that their technical level could compete with others, an incident happened that made them completely desperate.

At that time, the Rongfeng Dynasty was building a huge project, the Bird Station, and the craftsmen encountered a problem when building the station: the junction of the Tianqian Gorge and the Rongfeng Continent were all mountains and mountains, not to mention the difficulty of opening up the mountains and expanding the soil, but the soil of these peaks was quite loose, and they could not afford to build a large post station on it. When these craftsmen had a headache, someone from the Xianyue royal family came over, and they came to the bird station and wanted to visit the huge birds.

But when they visited the site meeting hall, there was a milky Xianyue child who saw the model on the table, and climbed to the top and began to "build blocks".

Looking at the model, the post station is like two sickles with this rope, hooking the mountain structure fiercely, no matter how soft the mountain is, as long as the rope pulling strength at the end of the sickle is in, although the mountain will be pressed down over time, but its soft structure will be slowly pressed by the pulling force of the rope, and the biggest advantage is that this post station can protrude from the mountain, half of which is suspended above the Tianqian Gorge, reducing the danger of collision between the giant bird spacecraft and the mountain when it lands.

Although it was a model, the craftsmen of the Rongfeng Dynasty were shocked and already knew in their hearts that the structure of this model had exceeded their understanding. They are still at the level of how to solve the problem of soft soil, and they have begun to use the principle of material force to solve the problem of construction, and ...... It's just a child.

The Xianyue royal family who arrived was very embarrassed when they learned about it, thinking that you were in someone else's territory, your child gave a big slap in the face to the craftsmen of the entire Rongfeng Dynasty, and they wanted to launch a ruthless saying: "Niu X, right?

After the post station was completed, the people of the royal family left, and the officials and craftsmen of the Rongfeng Dynasty sent them away with a thousand thanks, although there was always an indescribable sense of loss in their hearts, but there was no way, this is the innate talent of people, no matter how much you toss, you can only look at it, squat in the corner and cry.......!

At this time, the people of good deeds have to ask: Why didn't the Xianyue people come to attack the Rongfeng Dynasty? This reason is very simple, this is also known to the people of the whole continent, and it is even more sad for the Xianyue people, that is, the Xianyue people have been cursed for generations, although their physical characteristics and physique are not much different from other races on the mainland, and the age of childbirth and development is the same, but they can only live to be forty years old at most, and they generally die young in their early thirties.

To put it in layman's terms: If you start a war with the strength of the whole country, it will not take three or five years to mobilize material reserves? If you want to annex a huge Rongfeng Dynasty, even if you ride a war horse without eating, drinking, or sleeping, galloping all the way, slashing and slashing all the way, and winning all the way without spending a drop of blood, you will have to spend three or five years, right? The problem is obvious, even if you are in your teens, you can pick up a weapon and charge into battle, by the time you are ready to catch your breath and enjoy yourself...... I'm going to die! And your children are just learning to read and write...... Just ask, still a hair?

To get back to the point, the land of South Vietnam is supposed to be the time to hear the sound of frogs, but it is dead. Since the beginning of summer, the land of South Vietnam has frequent visions, first of all, some swamps emitted a foul smell, and then a large number of harmless animals such as beneficial insects died, and it did not take long for the plants in the land of South Vietnam that were not much poisonous to begin to grow uncontrollably, and poisonous snakes and insects and other natural enemies also began to reproduce wildly. Then, the Xianyue Dynasty broke out with plagues, and these plagues spread extremely fast, and the most terrible thing was that there was no cure for the infected people!

The epidemic was born, rumors arose, and the spearhead was pointed at the emperor of the current dynasty, and finally it evolved into a palace coup. One day and night, a large group of soldiers rushed into the imperial city under the banner of "Demon Qin King" and slaughtered them on a large scale. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the shouts in the palace continued for three days and three nights, and the final result was that the court died, the crown prince and the second prince disappeared, and the third prince ascended the throne.

Originally, there was still a certain population base as a guarantee, although the era was cursed, it could also basically ensure the continuation of the population in the famous race, but in the second half of the year, the plague was still raging and spreading, and the population of the first Yue country was sharply reduced, and the national strength has plummeted since then. However, it is only worth mentioning that the prodigy who "built blocks" in front of the famous craftsmen of the Rongfeng Dynasty was the missing second prince.

Precisely:

The three tribes of the north want to march south,

The ancestors of South Vietnam were born in civil strife;

The wind blows the yellow sand,

Green haze is all over Rock City.
