From Chief to Ball

Just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, no one will appreciate the sun rising in the east, nor hate the sun setting in the west.

But this time, she stared at the two bowls she hid all night, praying the words of thanking the sky that the soldiers forbade her to say. For the first time, she realized that there are joys and sorrows in the victory and defeat of war of.

In fact, she herself didn't know whether it was because of gratitude, or because she wanted to keep filling these two empty bowls with corn and rice, or what the young children said was because she was also a relative of the Dahe tribe. understand the reason.

It doesn't matter what you think.

The result is the same.

Chapter 32 The Unseen Confrontation

The dawn was very early in June, but the people in the city named "Xu" among the Dongyi tribes got up earlier than the sun rose. They were awakened by violent noise and chaos.

Many years ago they lived by the sea, believed in the god of the sea and made a living by fishing. They believed that they saw the sun first, so they had such a clan. It was not until a huge tsunami destroyed the city and their belief that they went west. Migration was finally integrated into the system of Dongyi tribes.

The old people in the city like to pass on their distant memories by word of mouth, so a tsunami turned into a huge catastrophe with lightning, thunder and anger.These legends are deeply rooted in their memory, but the scene before dawn in the early morning seems to bring the people in the city back to the catastrophe that only existed and was legendary.

As early as two days ago, they heard from some people who fled here that some people from the west had attacked here. They had a terrible weapon that could control lightning, and easily destroyed a village.

These words were regarded as nonsense, no one believed them, no one even believed that those people from the west would fight here.Isn't Qiongxi attacking and looting on their land?Many people followed from Xucheng, how could those people come here without guarding their own city?

However, the descriptions of those who escaped were lifelike. Some people who followed the battle confirmed that they were indeed the group of people in the west, because the clothes and hair buns and the voices were similar, but the flags they held were never seen before. .

In this case, the people in the city decided to be cautious and sent people to guard the city at night.I heard that those people were not many, and I never thought that they would come to attack the city, but it happened like this.

When the leaders of the city came to the city wall, the group of people who harassed them at night had retreated, but the traces left behind were still there.

A few feathered arrows landed in the city, leaving many dark marks on the city wall, proving that there was an explosion there.

Two flags were planted on the land outside the city. The people outside the city had long since disappeared.

There was a chubby black thing left on the city wall, and the city guards ran away immediately after seeing it, not daring to approach it at all.The astonishing lightning-like thing they experienced at night was emitted by this thing, and this one did not explode.

The leader looked at it from a distance, completely unable to understand what it was, it looked like a stone, but he had never seen it before.

They believed in witch priests and found the priest. The priest said that there was a terrible monster in the thing, which came from the sea, because the thunder and lightning were produced from the sea.

Of course water is afraid of fire, so the priest decided to burn the thing with fire, and the priest died.

The group of people, including the leader, all ran away in fright, and the whole city was completely in disarray. Before noon, the group of people hurriedly left the city and ran towards the far west.

They carried the flags left by the enemy and the terrible sight they saw with their own eyes, and they wanted to tell Qiong Xi who was fighting outside, and tell their trusted alliance leader that people from the western tribes had attacked here.

……

Without a horse, running on two legs, the news didn't reach Qiongxi's ears so quickly. In fact, Qiongxi wouldn't be afraid when it reached Qiongxi, because he broke through the Windy City by digging tunnels.

After breaking the Windy City, he was cheered by Wansheng as before, and he also got many slaves as before.

But after breaking through, he also obtained many things that he had never seen before, such as what the people here called iron, which looked like copper but was ugly in color; When he was defending the city, he caused a lot of threats, and he frightened some of the clansmen, otherwise he would have broken through long ago.

A lot of strange things pointed to a city he had never heard of, its name was Xia, including the well-grown fields outside.

This made him feel very uneasy, especially after some surrendered people told all kinds of stories about Xiacheng, it made Qiongxi feel hairy all over.

So Qiong Xi was very concerned about everything about Xia City. When he knew that a new city was built in this city three to five hundred miles away, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart.

This city called Xia may make this ethnic group in the west completely surpass their own ethnic group in more than ten years, and they must be strangled in the bud.Since Xiacheng is far in the northwest, there are only many slaves in the city here, and they are about to take this opportunity to take the city.

It would be best if the person named Ji Xia could surrender, he could even allocate a part of the city for them to live in, and even give preferential treatment to the tribes in Xia City so that they would not be slaves like the rest of the captured people.

If he can't surrender, he must be killed. This feeling is even more so after he holds those iron farm tools and sees the people who surrendered demonstrate the use of these farm tools.

This time, he went on an expedition because he got news from some cities in the north. Originally, the cities of the Dahe Tribes passed it on, saying that Suyue would attack them, and told Qiongxi that this was an opportunity.

And for Qiongxi, this is the best time for him to convince the various clans, and he will not miss it.He had heard about Su Yue for a long time, and his father had dealt with this leader, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

In his view, Suyue would not bring any changes to the ethnic groups in the west. Even when the Huasu Alliance was at the beginning, they did not capture Dongyi.

But after capturing Fengcheng, Qiongxi suddenly found a terrifying and deeply hidden opponent.This opponent is unknown, and I have never heard of it.But no matter how strong a black bear is, it can't break a tree surrounded by one person, and some silent borers can rot and break a tree that has stood for a thousand years. By the time someone finds out, it is too late.

Qiongxi searched all the iron farming tools and horses and chariots in Fengcheng, and let people identify a few Xiacheng people who stayed in Fengcheng. thing.

The clansmen had never seen a leader like this before, listening to those arrested Xiacheng people talk about meaningless things for two days, from planting to the rights of the city to eating and drinking.

These seemingly meaningless things made their convinced and awe-inspiring leader frown, because these Xiacheng people who were captured were very clear-headed, far better than ordinary tribesmen.

Qiongxi felt that such a person could lead at least a hundred people in his own city, but in Xiacheng he was just an ordinary citizen, which was terribly frightening.

Even during the questioning, those Xiacheng people even took the opportunity to say to Dong Qiongxi: "You better treat us better, or let us go, because you can't beat us."

Qiong Xi knows the languages ​​of the tribes of the Great River, because his heart set his eyes on this side when he was very young.

This was the first time he saw a captured person talking like this, and he laughed angrily, and asked: "It seems that you are very convinced of your leader, but you have never fought him. How do you know that I can't beat him?"

The captured Xiacheng people thought about it, pointed to the iron objects in front of Qiongxi and said, "Did you see these things? You are doomed."

"Because thirty of us farming can raise a soldier who doesn't need any special training; and you may need a hundred or more to raise one. Maybe you can defeat us once in battle, but ten years You will definitely lose in the future, and Jixia is still young, and will be in her prime ten years later."

"Our people in Xiacheng have very small minds, just like bone needles. If you kill us, you will definitely be killed when you surrender in the future. If you let us go, I can say something nice when you surrender. , Ji Xia will let you go."

Qiong Xi was taken aback after hearing this, not because she was afraid of being killed.

He was very sure that the captured man was just a very young guy, and he couldn't even command dozens of people in Xia City. He just studied in some school for a few years, but there were so many people in his own group who couldn't find these words. Dozens can be named.

If everyone in Xia City was like this, it would be terrible, so terrible that such people could only be ordinary soldiers, so what exactly are those who command the soldiers and their leaders?

"Are you thinking of these words?"

"Of course not, the leader told us."

Qiong Xi breathed a rare sigh of relief, her heart beat extremely fast at the moment just now, and this has never happened since the day when she won the decisive battle with her brother.

"Do you believe it?"

"Of course, that's what Ji Xia said."

"Are there many people who believe in it?"

"Of course, that's what Ji Xia said."

"Did Ji Xia tell everyone?"

"Of course not. Jixia told the teacher in the school, my husband told me, and I will tell the people who are with me."

Qiongxi quietly clenched her fists behind her back. From these words, she finally understood why these Xiacheng people were sober-minded. It was because of that damned school that allowed everyone to become a smart person. That knowledge is passed on orally.

Respect for the leader is not surprising to him, and many people in his own group also respect him like the sky, but do all the sober-minded people in the group respect him so much?Obviously not, people with such a clear mind in their own group are all respected by others, how can they respect themselves so sincerely?
