Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

Today's Red Hair is just like him back then, full of passion, but stubbornly believes that he can change the world...

"I think the two new patriarchs of the Snow Mountain Clan should have rejected such an unreasonable request." The red-haired man shook his head. He would never agree to sell the ancestral property.

"Perhaps they have rejected it, or perhaps not. After all, the two female matriarchs of the Snow Mountain Clan hold high positions in the alliance and have the power to convey the oracle of the Snow Mountain God. This may change their views on issues. At least, they will not only measure them based on good and evil, morality, right and wrong. Interests and power are their most solid backing."

Mr. Yuan's words were full of assurance, and there was a mixture of truth and falsehood in his words.

He already knew that the sisters were afraid to take responsibility and it would be difficult to make any progress there.

But he deliberately blurred the question and let the red-haired boy think about it himself.

Sure enough, Red Hair took the bait again. His stubborn character caused him to make many misjudgments about the sisters' actions.

His breathing became unstable, and the bloodshot in his eyes almost covered his pupils, spreading to every corner of the whites of his eyes.

"How could they be so eager to abandon us? What have we done wrong that they would rather destroy everything with their own hands than allow us to continue to build?"

The red-haired man's voice was low and angry, hoarse like a cry before exhaustion!

He seemed to have his skeleton pulled away in an instant, and even though he had strong muscles, he could no longer exert any strength.

"I know you can't represent all the men in the tribe, and under power and temptation, the people behind you may also be shaken. Therefore, for your own safety and the survival of the tribe, you should perhaps take a step back and choose a way to respond that is beneficial to yourself. That way you can at least guarantee your survival."

Master Yuan sighed with pity, but still picked up the indulgence on the table, walked up to the red-haired man and handed it to him.

"With this item, you can travel freely within the alliance. You also have the right to establish a private army. Although it is nominally an alliance militia, this is the greatest tolerance I can give you. The next decision is up to you."

After saying that, Yuan Hao gestured towards the door.

Several burly strong men from the small clan came in, half to see the guest off and half to escort him, and took the red-haired man away from the main tent.

The cold wind swept down from the top of the snow-capped mountains, bringing even deeper withering and desolation to the autumn grassland.

In the center of the camp, the red-haired man held the indulgence tightly in his hand and gazed up at the changing clouds in the sky.

"I am a victim, why do I need to atone for my sins? The nation has ceased to exist, and radicalism has become extreme in their eyes!"

Indulgence was nothing less than a deep insult to the red-haired man.

As a member of the Snow Mountain Clan, he had never participated in the plundering and disputes on the grassland. He was innocent and his hands were not stained with blood.

However, simply because he failed to firmly support Master Yuan and Li Changsheng behind him, he had to rely on indulgences to survive under the protection of the alliance.

For this passionate young man, this was an unbearable humiliation.

But when he thought of those tribesmen who were full of hope and eager to return to their traditional life, Red Hair swallowed all his grievances.

"As a member of the Alliance militia, I will no longer be inferior to others. Unfortunately, I must temporarily put aside everything I pursue and take up the banner of divine authority."

Red Hair understood that for the survival of his tribe, he could no longer act arbitrarily.

As for the unreasonable demands made by Master Li, he could refuse rationally, but his tribesmen would not.

The tribesmen are willing to give up all other rights in order to regain the Snow Mountain believers, who were once their wives and families.

After all, Li Changsheng had made concessions to the Snow Mountain believers several times, and his influence was enormous. While allowing the Snow Mountain believers to have many privileges, he also gave them the strength and status of Gu Masters.

Therefore, Red Hair knew that he could not win, and he felt pain and humiliation because he had a very clear vision of the future.

Perhaps the only thing that can be done now is to seize the unrestrained privileges in the initial period of indulgences, magnify them to perform the duties of the militia, and strengthen one's own power by helping guilty people to atone their sins.

If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no future.

……

A team of 500 Gu Masters, under the banner of Master Yuan, joined the encirclement formed by the Snow Mountain Alliance.

On the high slope, Chang Xiao's gaze fell on a merchant team that was hurriedly heading to the Snow Mountain Alliance for trade.

"Master Chang, the behavior of the Yan State Merchant Alliance is quite suspicious. They frequently move around the encirclement, and it seems that they are supporting a certain force."

Several leaders of the Snow Mountain Alliance were also paying attention to this caravan.

"Haven't you reported this matter to the top leaders of the Snow Mountain Alliance? What's their response?" Chang Xiao touched his chin with a calm expression, not surprised by the situation.

He knew very well that the Chamber of Commerce was supported by the Empress and major financial groups, and that its purpose was far from simple business, but rather to reopen the grassland trade route.

"The alliance's top leaders only asked us to keep records and strictly prohibited us from intercepting and interrogating. However, in recent days, the Chamber of Commerce has become more and more unscrupulous, and we are worried that the news within the encirclement has been leaked." Several leaders looked solemn.

This was their first time playing for the alliance, and they had hoped to win with great success, but they had not expected the Yan forces to intervene.

"That's probably impossible. If they make what's happening inside the encirclement public, it means they've started to take sides. Now they don't even have a foothold, yet they want to interfere in local affairs. No one should do such a stupid thing." Chang Xiao shook his head repeatedly.

He believed that the Yan people's move was just to gather intelligence in order to improve their understanding of the grassland forces.

If the information is leaked, the Snow Mountain Alliance will not let the Merchant Alliance go. If it creates obstacles to reopening the trade route, the Empress will not let the Merchant Alliance members off easily.

"You are from Yan and know them better than we do. Perhaps your judgment is correct." The second-rate master of the Black Bear Clan nodded helplessly. They had limited authority, otherwise they would have taken action long ago. No one wanted to go to war and end up in failure.

"Don't worry about them for now. How is the current offensive of the small clan? Have the predetermined targets been achieved?" Chang Xiao turned his attention back to the war, feeling troubled by the speed of the small clan's advancement.

"The small clans lack high-end combat power, and the medium-sized clans have already prepared after learning that the wolf riders were destroyed. The Tuoba family had already made plans and sent elite forces to support in advance. We only learned this information after the battle broke out."

The leaders unfolded the map and pointed out the high-value areas where several mid-sized clans were still holding on after receiving external assistance.

"Interesting, leave these places to me. I believe the treasures there must be priceless." Chang Xiao raised the corners of his lips, and a hint of cunning appeared on his round face.

Waving the flag of justice and striking down the rich and powerful, the mere imagination is enough to make people happy.

If you can harvest precious resources such as Yuanshi and gold coins later, your joy will naturally increase exponentially.

If, after defeating the opponent and obtaining resources, the young believers of the Snow Mountain Alliance could compose songs about their heroic deeds and spread their praises widely, then they would be in a paradise on earth, worshipped in the Imperial Temple, and enjoy supreme bliss.

At this moment, Chang Xiao felt from the bottom of his heart that following Li Changsheng to achieve success was definitely the best decision he had ever made in his life.
