Chapter 688: Prostration, Fallen Leaves Have No Roots

The eyes of the others did not fall on the stone statue, but looked at the fish swimming in the water, and sighed one after another.

There are Sanshui people homeopathic: "This fish is called 'North Sea Ice Fish', the appearance is as hard as ice, but it can be used after breaking the body shell, it is delicious and juicy, the meat is smooth, swallowed in the stomach, it can generate heat, resist the cold, and even enter the wine." ”

"How can it be so effective?"

The envoys were amazed, and their gaze at the swimming fish changed.

The thoughtful and lively immediately said: "In this way, Su Gong can persist for many years, maybe he has eaten this swimming fish!"

However, as soon as these words fell, the Sanshui nobles who introduced them looked embarrassed: "The North Sea ice fish is not easy to catch, full of spirituality, don't want to fish out with bait at all, and it is extremely flexible, and the strength is not small, an impact, adult men can't bear it, and in addition to the cold sea, it is difficult for anyone to catch it with bare hands." ”

Someone else added: "Even if you catch it with a fishing net, it is still difficult to succeed, and before Gain's net falls into the water, the icefish swims away first, and even if it doesn't have time to escape, it only needs to sprint to break through the net, which is useless." ”

Zhong Yanqi said: "In this way, how to catch this fish? Since you know the taste of the Dao and the ability to enter the wine, you must have had experience." ”

Between questions and answers, the slightly tense atmosphere among everyone fell, which was also what everyone in the Sanshui tribe wanted, so they did not hesitate to take out some secrets in the clan.

"Because some people in the clan have special bloodlines, in November and December every year, they can go into the water to keep out the cold, with special ointment, applied to the body, can attract ice fish to take the initiative to come, all over the body, the ointment and blood are combined, exuding a fragrance. If the icefish is immersed in it for a long time, it will lose its strength and be taken down in one fell swoop. ”

When he said this, the person who spoke went to see the old Khan from time to time, and when he saw the latter nodding secretly, he said it with confidence.

This theory of physique involves the foundation of Sanshui, and it also caused disasters at the beginning, so it must be prevented.

"And such a thing?" said one of the envoys at once, "it seems that the noble ancestors. It must be an extraordinary character. ”

This is a bit vague, but it actually implies that the ancestor of the Sanshui tribe is a monk who has been destined to cultivate.

When Brother Gain reached the second realm of life cultivation, he refined the Seven Spirits, as long as he refined the heroic spirits, this supernatural magic method could retain a little fur in the bloodline, and then pass it on to the world from generation to generation, doing things beyond common sense.

It seems that these three water tribesmen use blood to attract fish. Not surprising.

In fact, almost every tribe on the grassland that can rise has the ability to inherit the heroic bloodline.

But. This kind of bloodline inheritance, with the passage of time, diluted from generation to generation, will inevitably return to the ordinary in the end. Unless there is a change in the source of the bloodline, it will eventually be annihilated and history.

The ease with which these people of the Three Waters could use traits at least meant that their ancestor was not far from the present day. It also shows that the history of this tribe itself is not very long.

Of course, after some explanation, everyone's thoughts on how Su Gong lived back then have changed, and they are more and more confused.

"In fact, this kind of ice fish can be traded with the goods of the Central Plains," At this time, Meng Qingbin, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the content of what he said made the Sanshui people present jump, "Tea, salt and other things can be traded." ”

Listening to these, the nobles of Sanshui are all excited, they are in a remote location, but they are not ignorant of the rich products of the Central Plains, and it is not that they have never seen these things, but unfortunately on the grassland, if you want to get these, there is generally only one way, that is, through the hands of the Rouluo people.

In the earliest days, the official Da Rui also organized formal border transactions, and later with the rise of Rouluo, they came to loot and the official trade was banned, but as long as there is a demand, there will be people who take risks, so there are still a lot of private smuggling.

The Meng family behind this Meng Qingbin, with their backs to the frontier, is also involved in these things, and saying this at this time also means paving the way for the family-

As soon as the crisis passed, the part of his envoy representing the national personality was a little bleak, and the interests of the family were once again on the agenda.

People's hearts are originally moved by the environment, and it is difficult to see the bottom line and principles until the last moment.

Thinking about it, Sanshui Lao Khan said: "The kindness of the envoy, the Sanshui tribe is very grateful, but Sanshui is far away from Darui, and there are many tribes in the middle, and there are also Rouluo people to block it, I am afraid that it is difficult to directly exchange markets." ”

"How can this official not know?" Meng Qingbin smiled slightly, "Now that Rouluo has been hit hard, when Da Rui and the nobles jointly send troops to defeat the remnants of Rouluo, then the fertile pastures of Rouluo will belong to the nobles, and the two sides will be able to stop each other?"

He, the Great Rui Envoy, did not forget his mission when fighting for the interests of the family, after Qiu Yan's actions, he has already shocked the Sanshui, and the next thing to do is to draw a blueprint for them, depicting a beautiful vision after defeating the Rouluo people, and increasing their enthusiasm.

It's the combination of grace and power.

These words made the old Khan also quite moved, but he was not carried away by the interests, and did not immediately express his position, but said: "Although Rouluo lost King Zuoxian, there are other three kings and the people of the Khan Tent Headquarters, and their strength is still there, and it is impossible to be defeated by a battle." ”

"The headquarters of Rou Luo fell into civil strife, King Zuo Xian was cut out again, and he has lost his wings, even if he is not defeated by the First World War, he will be torn apart, and the vacant place, the Sanshui tribe does not want it, and the court will be handed over to other tribes, and the lord of the country still thinks clearly. Meng Qingbin didn't argue, and said lightly, "Moreover, if Rouluo is divided, the various ethnic groups that have been forcibly conquered by it will also be scattered, and they will not be attacked by the time." ”

There was already a bit of a threat in these words, telling Ye Balu that the Sanshui Clan was not Da Rui's only choice, and this was also Qiu Yan's unexpected move, which increased Da Rui's momentum and initiative, and Meng Qingbin, as a diplomat, could be more calm.

Old Khan's heart froze, but he still didn't dare to make a rash decision, so he only said: "It's better to think about it in the long run, and wait for the Hui people to discuss it with the envoy." ”

On the other side, after the initial shock, the eyes of the envoys finally moved to the edge of the water, and someone saw the stone statue and immediately exclaimed.

"That stone statue is the Su Gong in your Central Plains population. Dolu always paid attention to Qiu Yan's movements and expressions, and when he heard the exclamation, he made an introduction at the first time.

"Is that there?"

Qiu Yan's eyes were in a trance, and in his field of vision, the sparkling lake and the wind and snow suddenly disappeared, and in its place, there was a snow-white grassland, a thin figure, dressed in animal skins and holding a scepter, walking alone.

However, this fragment of this scene quickly disappeared, and Zhao Shen's question sounded in his ears: "That is the residence of Duke Su? Sure enough, it is bitter cold and simple, and how vicious Hun Bei was back then! However, there is no grass nearby, and the cold wind is everywhere, how does Duke Su shepherd sheep? What sheep can live in such a bad place?"

Da Yan is the ancient dynasty of the Central Plains, and also shocked the Quartet, and at that time the rise of the grassland was the Hun people, the two sides attacked each other, the Su Gong in the mouth of the people, is the envoy Su envoy sent to the Hun by the Great Yan, because it coincided with the war, was intercepted by the Hun Bei, forced him to submit.

Many of the people who traveled with the Su envoy couldn't stand the pressure and announced their submission, but the Su envoy did not comply, so Shan Yu locked him up and did not give him food or drink.

In the midst of the predicament, the Su envoy ate felt fur, chewed ice and snow when he was hungry, endured it for life, and did not die for a few days, Hun Bei thought it was very interesting, and had the intention to tease, so he exiled him to the Beihai Jedi, let him herd the ram, and said that he could only let him go back when the ram gave birth to lambs.

It is naturally impossible for a ram to give birth to a lamb, and this dilemma is decades.

Even if Dayan later worshiped Hun Bei and expelled him, the leading general asked about the whereabouts of the Su envoy, and Hun Bei did not inform him, or he later went with the Su envoy and returned to Hun Xian, revealing a little mystery, but unfortunately at that time, the Su envoy was no longer alive.

But this incident has since spread all over the world, becoming a well-known legend, and has become the spiritual sustenance of many scholars.

Before Sanshui Lao Khan said that Su Gong was stubborn, and the ministers were so angry, it was because of the spiritual sustenance that they were humiliated!

Subsequently, under the leadership of Sanshui people, Meng Qingbin, Qiu Yan and others walked slowly, the stone statue is located in a low-lying place, to go down a slope, the ground is frozen soil, the surface has been frozen, it is very slippery to walk, you have to be careful, it is to travel slowly.

In just a few steps, it took nearly an hour, and many people were shivering from the cold, but no one complained, even if it was Qiu Yan, he could have arrived in one go, but he did not use his magical powers, but walked with others.

The closer they got, the more solemn the faces of the envoys became.

When they came to the front, they saw the stone statue clearly, and they tugged at their heartstrings, and their expressions changed.

The face of the stone statue was lifelike, and just by looking at the face, it was a thin old man, dressed in animal skins, holding a scepter, facing south, and his face was still frozen with the expression of his life.

Regret, nostalgia, perseverance.

In the depths of the ice in front of the stone statue, a few words could be faintly seen, and when I looked at it, I could recognize itβ€”

Bow to the front, the minister has not completed the mission, and he is ashamed of the country.

Seeing this sentence, all the envoys trembled in their hearts, giving birth to indescribable sadness and sighs, the historians in the crowd have been prepared after the previous events, and at this time they took out the pen and paper from their arms, and they were about to write, but when the cold wind blew, the ink froze first!

Qiu Yan was in the crowd, and he was also touched by a few words, and even found a little true spirit from it, his heart trembled, and the yin spirit in his body was actually pulled by the spirit in the words and flew out!

The next moment, the light and shadow changed, the wind and snow stopped, and a figure walked out of the stone statue, and the surrounding scene changed greatly, no longer hard rocks and frozen soil, but turned into snow-white grass, and the grass reached knees.

The man who came out of the stone statue held a scepter and waved it in the air, but there were no sheep around, but a flock of ......

Wolf!(To be continued......)
