From Chief to Ball

Just as he was about to blow the horn, Chen Jian stretched out his hand and held down his horn, turned to the leader of Yueyi and said, "Since the Yuelun Rebellion is going to be wiped out, Xia Cheng is willing to help Yueyi put down the riot, Yueyi The people in Xiacheng should continue to fight the fire. After all, it is not easy to build a city, and the people of Xiacheng can still help Yueyi's relatives with small things."

The leader of Yueyi hurriedly got up, glanced at the arrogant soldiers behind Chen Jianjian, nodded his thanks and said, "That's it, thank you Ji Xia."

Chen Jian turned around and waved his hand to signal the accompanying people to go, and by the way told them what to do and what not to do.

He didn't go there in person, and he didn't need to take his clansmen with him to deal with a group of desperate beasts.

Not long after, there were bursts of explosions and violent flashes in the distance, which startled the people in Yueyi, including the leader of Yueyi, who thought of the rumor, but refused to believe that it was over so soon .

Chen Jian listened attentively for a while, then smiled and said, "It seems that it's over."

Everyone couldn't believe that it was over so soon, but the Xiacheng people came back with a bunch of heads, and the people in the city for a few months recognized one of them who seemed to be one of the best archers in the city.

After counting the number of Xiacheng people again, he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly, and none of them died, and he didn't know what method he used.

"Ji Xia, it's done according to what you said. The children are still there, and they haven't been killed according to what you said. Please ask the people in Yueyi to do it."

Jixia nodded slightly, but the leader of Yueyi was slightly dissatisfied, and turned his head and said, "Jixia's heart softened? Did I go too far? It's like weeding a millet field, digging out all the roots. Those children grow up Riots may follow."

"Soft-hearted? No way. In the autumn of a year ago, I led people to slaughter dozens of villages in the grassland. I have long forgotten what it feels like to be soft-hearted. But the people from Xiacheng are from Yueyi's Fadu, so they killed those villages. People who have already rioted. They blocked the execution of Yueyi's law, so they were killed. But Yueyi's law still depends on the person in charge of Yueyi's law. People in Xiacheng are not qualified. This is like a person Holding a bronze sword to kill people in Yueyi, the Xiacheng people can help knock down the bronze sword, but what qualifications do we have to kill the sword holder? Besides, the law itself is for the purpose of enlightening the tribe, not for killing the tribe , so always let the tribe know why these people died."

Chen Jian glanced at Yue Falcon lying on the ground with a smile, the person who was in charge of the implementation of Yueyi's law in name, the blood should be stained by this person, not by his side.

What I said just now was for the Yueyi people next to me, making them feel that I am a very fair and reasonable person. The metaphor of turning a little bit sounds weird in this era, but the weirder it is, the more people feel There are many different meanings, and Chen Jian was satisfied after seeing many people nodding frequently.

The leader was stunned for a moment, and he probably didn't understand what Chen Jian wanted to do, but it was hard to refute Chen Jian's words at this time, so he nodded and said with compassion: "If that's the case, those children... Slave. Jixia's words are always so interesting, this time I have to thank Jixia again."

His eyes lingered on the strong men next to Chen Jianjian, looking at the clay pots hanging on them, thinking about the battle that ended so quickly just now, even if he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he could guess what it was.

The slight dissatisfaction before was just an expression of an attitude. He wanted to test whether Chen Jian was dissatisfied with himself, and he didn't believe that a leader could have such a soft heart.Chen Jian's explanation made him feel relieved, but he felt that Chen Jian's thoughts were a bit weird, and he was relieved when he knew that Chen Jian was not dissatisfied.

Although Xiacheng is far away from here, he is not afraid that the people of Xiacheng will turn against him, but the people of Xiacheng have something that he wants very much, so the attitude of the leader of Xiacheng is extremely important to him.

By the light of the fire, the leader sighed: "I wanted to invite Ji Xia to a banquet, but now that something like this happened in the city, it will take a long time to deal with it, and I'm afraid it will delay the time of winter hunting. Winter is coming soon, and there is no house to live in." No, this banquet...will have to wait for Jixia to return from Sucheng, so please don't blame Jixia."

"The leader has done an excellent job. The winter is the most important thing for the clansmen. How can I blame it?"

"That's good. Well, just like this riot in Yueyi, isn't there any fight between the sworn relatives? Xiacheng's sword and thunderbolt can certainly resist the barbarians, but if they fall into the hands of someone like Yuelun , and don’t know how many people will die? So I ask Jixia to think carefully about what she said earlier.”

Chen Jian nodded in agreement, and refuted Yuelun's behavior, stating that he would carefully consider the leader's words, and asked if Yueyi could not go to Sucheng this time, and whether he needed to lead the rest of the leaders. Can you explain why Yueyi can't go there?

The leader of Yueyi sighed and said: "Ji Xia also saw it, I can't go, neither can Yue Falcon. But this clan gathering is a major event related to each clan, so why can't Yueyi not go? The people who go are not The leaders are sages and wise men who have been known to everyone for many years, and the old people in Yueyi are like autumn trees withered, if the people sent are just ordinary people, it is inevitable that they will disrespect the other clans."

He seemed to be having a hard time making a choice, and he chanted some names that Chen Jian seemed to have heard before. They were all young people in Yueyi, but the good names were only in Yueyi, and they were unknown on both sides of the river. The bloodline is famous.

In the end, he seemed helpless and said: "How about this, I will let Yuemei take some people to go with Jixia. After I go, some clan leaders will always remember me, and calling some uncles is also respectful. People who are like mud and sand in a big river are better..."

"I'll talk to her about the specifics, but no matter what, Yueyi will support Xiacheng's joining the alliance. This is my promise and I will never break it."

Chapter 12 The Caged Bird

The beginning of many sad or happy stories is often because of fun or gratitude, which is exactly how Yuemei feels about Chen Jian at this time.

Even though he said the same words and combed the same hair, Chen Jian from Xiacheng came from a place that Yuemei was unfamiliar with.Because of the strangeness, there will always be many girls' fantasies, and all the beauty and goodness will be associated with that strange city that has never been seen before. Even the men in that strange place are more beautiful than the men in Yueyi. cute.

When her father said that she hoped that she would go with Chen Jian, she felt a little joy in her heart. Now that the things she was most worried about in Yueyi had been resolved, she finally didn't have to fall into the darkness and blood that Chen Jian told her about. Freshened up again.

My heart was pounding, I took a sneak peek at Chen Jian, and hurriedly lowered my head to look at my toes, I don't know if it was because I was excited about the upcoming long trip, but because the person in front of me was the companion of the long trip.

But then she frowned, because she glanced quietly and found that Chen Jian didn't seem very happy, and the subsequent conversation confirmed her judgment.

"The leader of Yueyi, this clan gathering is a big event. Eyue's wife Shujiu once told me that there will be drought and flood on both sides of the river every seven or eight years. Many tribes live on both sides of the river. How can a tribe To deal with the overflowing flood that can wash away the mountain? Now the Dongyi tribe has reunited and continued to attack us... There are so many things, how can such a young child discuss with others?"

What Chen Jian thought in his heart might not be as tall as he said, and it might not be the fate of the tribes on both sides of the river, but he felt that Yuemei was too young. , I'm afraid those leaders won't care too much.

When Yuemei heard this, she felt lost in her heart. After she was rescued by Chen Jian from the fire in the valley, she felt that this was an encounter arranged by heaven and earth, and they seemed to be different from each other.

But after listening to Chen Jian's words at this time, she felt that she felt that Chen Jian was different, but Chen Jian looked at her like a piece of wood. Even if he was not herself in the valley, he would help.

It was originally like this, but when a girl starts to fantasize, she always breaks away from rational thinking, and when all this is shown naked, she will inevitably feel lost in her heart.

She is someone who likes to be sad and sad, but it seems that Chen Jian is not.On the contrary, that person is not spring flowers and autumn fruits, but more like a hard and ruthless stone.

It was the first time that she was so wronged in her heart, she felt like a toad trampled by someone by the autumn river, and the trampled people didn't even notice it.

Unwilling, she asked in a low voice, "How old is Ji Xia? Don't you just grow up?"

Chen Jian smiled helplessly, not wanting to answer the girl's strange question, waiting for the answer from the leader of Yueyi.

The leader of Yueyi seemed to understand Chen Jian's meaning, and said, "Jixia doesn't have to worry. Yueyi is not close to the barbarians, and he is very supportive of the clan alliance, because we don't want to fight with the surrounding clans. Yuemei's age It is indeed very small, but she can carry the jade stones of her relatives when they made the vows in Huacheng. Jixia must have seen it. Echeng is a moth, Acropolis is a jade mountain, and of course Yueyi also has it. Mei may not be very old, But Yueyi's jade ornaments are enough for people to pay attention to, except for recommending Xia Cheng to join the alliance, the other things follow Jixia's meaning."

Only then did Chen Jian nod in satisfaction. If he could really wear the jade ornaments from the original oath, the words he said would still hold some weight.

"If that's the case, then I will protect Yuemei and go with me. I will take good care of her on the way."

"Well, I'll go back and make arrangements, and we'll start tomorrow."

Chen Jian left with joy, returned to his residence, made an exception and drank half a gourd of wine, at least the most difficult first step has been taken, and the rest must be fought for by himself or exchanged for benefits.

The four cities in the Caohe area will support it, and there are four other cities along the way to support it. In addition to Yueyi, it is necessary to win the support of more than [-] city leaders after arriving in Sucheng.

When the smell of alcohol rose, Chen Jian still maintained his last sobriety, reminding himself over and over again.

"Don't try to be a good guy, don't try to get all the leaders to support. Use conflicts, sow conflicts, support the superior party in the early stage, no enemies, no friends. Don't be afraid to offend the rest of the clan, you have to dare to be hated to be liked... ..."

There is no direct connection between dislike and liking. It is the interests of the city that link these two unrelated emotions. It is very inappropriate to use it on people.

For example, Yuemei, the things or people she likes are not because other people hate them.

When Chen Jian fell asleep after drinking, Yue Mei was still awake, and her heart was still excited about the journey that was about to start tomorrow.

She has never left the city since she was a child, so she is full of curiosity about the outside world.

There is no spinning wheel, twine, or agricultural implements in her house, but only things she thinks are beautiful and good that she has imprisoned.

Red maple leaves, green wormwood, fragrant roses, emerald turquoise...these things she likes decorate her house, and there is also a pottery xun, half a square silk string.

Of course, the most indispensable is the handkerchief that wipes tears when the leaves are yellow and the flowers fall, and Tao Jian who smiles at the shadow when the flowers bloom and the leaves are green.

She looks very good-looking, and she is different from Hongyu in Xiacheng, but she is completely different from Hongyu.

Seeing the slaves working tirelessly without enough to eat, she would feel pity in her heart, and maybe give them a piece of cornbread, thinking that the slave master should treat these slaves kindly.But if the slaves resisted and wanted to kill the slave masters, she would feel pity for those slave masters, thinking that they shouldn't die and that the slaves' actions were too much.What she thinks is that the slave master treats the slaves well, and the slaves work hard, that's the best way, and no one will bleed.

When spring comes, they will sing in the bushes with flying white flowers, and when autumn arrives, they will fish under the red maple green sky, dreaming of flying to the sky, touching the sun, moon and stars. It would be better if a man rides on the rainbow and sits on the crescent moon with her and blows Tao Xun .

The outward manifestations of this spiritual difference are ubiquitous.For example, the spinning wheel and the maple leaf, the bone needle and the Tao Xun, the resistance that dares to be whipped and the compassion that fears bloodshed.

The tribe once gave her a bird in a wooden cage. She felt sorry for the bird, so she let it go. She said she didn't want anything that was not free, but she didn't know that she was the whole city. The biggest bird in the cage.
