Chapter Twenty-Six: Falling Short
"Of course, the lower four tribes of the half-elf clan have been exploited by corrupt officials for a long time, and there are unscrupulous merchants who wantonly hunt down and sell the lower four civilians as slaves. The next four were unbearable and humiliated, and reported the grievances to the imperial court, but they were suppressed by the half-elf eight pacification envoys, but they were suppressed by the pacification envoys, and the pacification envoys were killed by mistake under the excitement of the crowd. The second part of the next four Yueyun was instigated by traitors to launch a rebellion and attack the border city of Pingman, although its crime was great, but its situation was pitiful. Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Yun Yishang and Yue Banxuan were dumbfounded, they didn't understand the things on the political zhì. Even with Yun Yishang's intelligence, he has not seen the dirt on the political zhì, and he can't understand the diametrically opposite expressions of Zhou Yi before and after. What kind of rhythm is this? The second girl's mind is full of this question now.
Yun Xing and Yue Wu understood what Zhou Yi meant, but the two old foxes had been moving around for a long time for the survival of the tribe, and they had to deal with the officials of the empire, so they did deliberately pretend not to understand now.
"Hehe, we are a barbarian race and don't understand culture and education, please make it clear!" Yun Xing said with a dry smile, and Yue Wu's angry expression gradually eased.
In fact, they are now breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts, and from Zhou Yi's words, they reveal the goodwill of Huangfu Lesheng, and it is indeed a blessing that they don't have to resist the empire anymore. It's just that they don't know what kind of price they have to pay for the rebellion, so they want Zhou Yiming to say.
"The Emperor Fu explained when I was leaving, that the second division of Yueyun has been persecuted for a long time, and it is understandable that he is angry and rebelled, but it does not mean that this great rebellion should be lightly let go because of extenuating circumstances, otherwise where is the majesty of the empire. Is it true that in the future, as long as there is injustice in all ethnic groups and tribes, they can follow suit? Therefore, someone must be held accountable for this. Zhou Yi said tentatively, the general responsible person must be the tribal leader, it depends on whether these two people have the heart to resolve the matter.
"Hmph, the one who should be responsible should be the hateful pacification envoy!" Yue Wu snorted angrily.
"But he has been killed by you!" Zhou Yi was very disdainful of this kind of behavior of putting all the blame on the dead, and besides, what was to be discussed now was who should be responsible for the murder of the official and the rebellion against the city.
"Then there's nothing to say, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield!" Yue Wu said viciously, he wanted to see where the bottom line of Huangfu Lesheng was, and Yun Xing was also expressionless and did not say a word.
"There are some questions I want to ask the two of you, but I don't know if the two leaders are willing to give you some advice!" Zhou Yi began to implement the plan in his heart.
"Honorable envoy, please ask!" Yun Xing said, one by one is king, and he now needs to cooperate with Yue Wu to sing a good white face.
"How many warriors do you have?"
"There are more than 200,000 people in my two tribes, all of whom can hold spears and bows, and the envoy does not need to be underestimated!" Yuewu's words are a little untrue, more than 200,000 people remove the old, young, sick and disabled, even if the women of the half-elf clan are also warriors, they can also make up more than 100,000 soldiers in the sky, which is still too much. But in this way, it is to fight with the whole clan, and if you lose, you will die and the clan will be destroyed, and if you win, your vitality will be greatly damaged.
"The nobles are indeed brave, but you also know in your hearts how powerful the court is. The more than 100,000 long-trained warriors of the Ninth Legion can still make you lose your vitality even if they can't defeat you. Not to mention that there are more than ten legions in the imperial court, and more than a million troops, can you escape once, and you can escape the fate of defeat several times!?"
Zhou Yi's words are actually clear to both of them, but they don't want to admit it, and now that Zhou Yi has broken it, they won't quibble, it's meaningless.
Seeing that the two were silent, Zhou Yi struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Is your armor complete?"
"Everyone has a sharp blade, and every household has a strong bow!" Yuewu's words are even more far-fetched, I am afraid that everyone can have a kitchen knife, and every family has a hunting bow.
"Even so, I can tell you that the Ninth Legion has all the armor, and the empire's heavy armor and sword and longbow are excellent, so I don't need to say more! More importantly, we also have a warrior battalion, which is full of strong men who have achieved martial arts, and they may be able to resist?
The two glanced at each other, and then Yun Xing said, "It's just a battle to the death!"
"Haha, that's right, it's just a fight to the death! It's just a fight to the death! In order to keep his power, he let his subordinates shed blood and sacrifice, his wife and family were ruined, and the whole clan was buried with you!" Zhou Yi laughed loudly and scolded the two.
At this time, Yun Xing and Yue Wu did not show indignation, but their faces were blue and white for a while, which was obviously poking at the sore spot in their hearts.
"Zhou Yi, you have something to say, don't you pretend to be a good person here! It's a real battle to the death, and they will also die under the butcher's knife of your Qinling people!" Yue Banxuan couldn't stand Zhou Yi's arrogance, stood up and said angrily.
"Since you are here to reconcile, please don't say anything about handing over the leader, this is absolutely impossible!" Yun Yishang now understands the meaning of Zhou Yi's words and deeds, but she must not accept that her father stood up and took all the responsibility, after all, it was not what her father and the prince of the moon wanted.
"Honorable envoy, please save us and other subordinates, if the empire condemns, the two of us are willing to bear it with all our might!" Yun Xing and Yue Wu smiled at each other, then got up and came to Zhou Yi and bowed with a solemn face.
"Hey, hey, the two of you, please get up, please get up, you don't have to be like this!" Now that Zhou Yi was hurriedly pulling the two of them, he didn't expect that these two leaders would have such great courage and would rather die for the sake of the clan.
Yun Yishang and Yue Banxuan saw that their father was willing to be humiliated, and they also walked in front of Zhou Yi with tears in their eyes, Yun Yishang said: "Please let go of my father and Lord Yue, and Yishang is willing to confess on his behalf!"
"Banxuan is willing to confess on behalf of his father and Uncle Yun!" Yue Banxuan also said in a poignant tone.
Looking at the second daughter looking at her eyes with teary eyes, Zhou Yi was dumbfounded, this is not a bitter drama, I don't want to take them to blame!
"Oh, that's not what I meant! I didn't say I'm going to take you to blame!"
"Ah......" The four people who knelt on the ground raised their heads and looked at Zhou Yi in confusion, even Yunxing and Yuewu were confused, Zhou Yi began to say that someone must be responsible for this matter, except for the two of them, who has the weight to bear the responsibility for the rebellion!
"The empire just wants a reasonable explanation! Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Yi hurriedly explained, in fact, the empire just wanted to quell the rebellion of the half-elf clan, as for how to quell it, it depends on the way of Huangfu Lesheng, and he, Zhou Yi, can just influence the opinions of Zhao Mu and Huangfu Teacher.
"Well, I understand, don't worry, we'll give the empire an explanation!" Yue Wu said solemnly.
"What do you understand, why don't you make it clear?" Zhou Yi thought in his heart, but said on his lips: "No need, since you are willing to submit to the empire, I will naturally arrange these." ”
"In this way, there is an envoy of Lao Zun, if there is any command, please make it clear!" Yunxing was overjoyed, with this envoy operating on his behalf, how much trouble would be saved!
"No, I don't agree!" Just as Yun Yishang was about to smile, a loud shout sounded outside the tent, and then a group of old men in robes walked in, with many guards behind them.
"Great Elder, why are you here?" Yue Wu said in surprise, he didn't tell Great Elder Zhou Yi about it, how did Great Elder know.
Then a group of old men walked in outside the big tent, and seeing Yun Xing's face turned blue, Yuewu suddenly realized, it turned out that Minister Yun had informed them, and now things are complicated.
"Hmph, if we don't come, are you still ready to surrender on your knees and sell your clan for glory!" the Great Elder of the Moon Department roared angrily, and then pointed at Zhou Yi and shouted, "Arrest this spy of the Qinling Empire!"
Suddenly, a group of guards tied up Zhou Yi with swords in hand, he did not resist, first, there were several masters of the innate realm among these elders, and he was not an opponent; second, he also wanted to see if Yunxing and Yuewu Toucheng's attitude was resolute, after all, the most taboo thing to recruit and rebel was to surrender and rebel, and the person in charge of recruiting security was jointly and severally responsible.
"Elder Yue, if there is anything to discuss, don't act rashly with the envoy of the Empire, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for my Yueyun Second Division!" Yun Xing saw that the momentum was not right, so he didn't care about reprimanding Minister Yun, and persuaded the Great Elder of the Yuebu Department bitterly.
"Hmph, surrendering to the Qinling Empire is a catastrophe! My half-elf clan has followed the goddess of life for generations, how can I bow down to the infidels?!" Elder Yue Da ignored the friendship between the two tribes of Yueyun and reprimanded Yun Xing fiercely.
"There is really the shadow of the Kunya Elf Empire behind this matter, and I am afraid that there are also many people in the last four!" Zhou Yi looked at the farce in front of him expressionlessly, but there were huge waves in his heart. Although the Moon Elder did not say it explicitly, only the Elven Empire now believed in the Goddess of Life. Half-elves used to be a vassal race of the elves and also believed in the goddess of life. There are not many half-elves who stick to their beliefs now, so what the Great Elder said is just to find a high-sounding reason for himself to join the Elven Empire.
"Once we use force with the Empire, we will suffer heavy losses, can we watch the two parts of Yueyun bleed like a river?" Yun Xing's voice was already filled with a trace of grief, he knew that today's events might not end well, but he still wanted to make amends in vain.
"Lord Yun, you don't have to say much!Elder Yun, what do you think!" Elder Yue no longer looked at Yun Xing, but asked about a white-bearded old man who had just entered the tent.
"Elder Yue, my opinion is that you must not compromise with the Qinling Empire!" This Elder Yun is not a good bird, the two have long been in collusion, otherwise how would Elder Yue know that Zhou Yi is here.
"Okay, since the Council of Elders is unanimous, then Yuewu and Lord Yun, please act in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Elders!" This month, the Great Elder looked around at everyone and said domineeringly to Yunxing and Yuewu. The elders of the two divisions nodded in agreement, and they didn't know what kind of soup the Elf Empire had poured into them, and they swore to death that they were unwilling to compromise with the Qinling Empire.
It was impossible for Yun Xing and Yue Wu to confront the opinion of the Council of Elders, even if there was more dissatisfaction in their hearts, no matter how much distrust they had for that mysterious person, they could only hold back now. Otherwise, they will only bring humiliation upon themselves, and their strength cannot be compared with that of the Elders, which concentrates most of the innate powerhouses of the two divisions.
"As for you, Mr. Special Envoy, when we engage your army, you will be the first to be escorted to the front of the two armies to behead the sacrificial flag!
"It's really a boat capsized in the gutter, and it's a failure!" Thinking in his heart, Zhou Yi just showed a disdainful smile on his face, and the guards behind him were taken out of the tent.
