From Chief to Ball

Chen Jian didn't have a deep impression of Ji Bo, because he has a very dazzling elder brother, so when he saw him, he would always think of his elder brother. Even if he saw him often, he would always think that this was Ji Song's younger brother.The only impression I have recently is that when I was in Yueyi, I was full of worries about poor Yuemei, and wanted to help that girl, but was scolded by him.

Before, Chen Jian didn't understand that it was because of his own efforts that he brought Bai by his side?Or was it because of the good impression made by his brother?

At this moment when he stood up, Chen Jian smiled. In his heart, this person became the well-known Ji Bo, not Ji Song's younger brother.

Ji Bai still wanted to say something, Chen Jian waved his hand to signal not to say more, Yao Yao asked, "I have a few words to tell him."

He turned his head and took the released companions back for more than a hundred steps. Chen Jian walked over and patted Ji Bai on the shoulder and said, "Besides the reason you mentioned, what else is there?"

"Because I know that Ji Xia will definitely remember this matter. I want many people to remember me, and if I want many people to remember me and praise me, I must do some big things. But now I want to do big things. I want Jixia's approval. That's it. I don't think there is anything to be ashamed about thinking this way. In addition, I also want Jixia to remember that I am not a grass under the protection of my brother. I am as tall as my brother but different. trees."

Bai blushed a little, and said slowly: "Ji Xiayi talked to me fourteen times alone, and every time he talked with my brother, even if I pity Yuemei the last time, it was with a taunt. My brother. Actually I have a name, my name is Bai, not just Ji Song’s younger brother. I think Ji Xia will definitely remember my name this time, because Ji Xia said that this matter is very important to you, once I die Yes, Ji Xia will definitely prepare a tombstone for me, so you will definitely remember my name."

"When I lived in the cave, I only thought about eating enough; after I walked out of the cave, I thought about revenge; after revenge, when I was full and dressed warmly, I thought about being famous and being remembered and praised. I hope Ji Xia can remember that my brother is praised because he did something, and I do things because I want to be praised."

Chen Jian nodded and said: "I remember. Bo. This matter may be very dangerous. It's hard to say what is going on in Onozawa, and the treatment is also very dangerous. If you eat the wrong herbal medicine and die, they may kill you." You. Since you are going, why not think about what you want?"

Bai Yang raised his head, thought for a while and said, "No."

"No? Your mother is dead, but you still have an older brother, younger siblings. Do you only think about yourself, not about them?"

"It's not that I don't want to. People are close and distant. There are so many people in Xiacheng. On the one hand, I don't have the ability to worry about them. On the other hand, I don't really care about them. The only thing I care about is my blood relatives. Apart from younger brothers and sisters, they are brothers." How could I not worry about it?"

"Many people saw that my brother was dropped from Si Kou's seat and sent to some remote tribal villages to spread planting and the like, or followed the horse-drawn carriage and sailboat to distribute herbs in other cities, and they always felt that he was left out and exiled Well, it is said that at this time I have already taken this opportunity to ask Jixia to let my brother return to the city. But... fish don’t know the freedom of flying birds, birds don’t know the joy of swimming fish and water, those who are not fish are not birds, And how do you know their joy?"

"My brother saw that the dying people survived and saw those wild villages learn to plant, just like I know that my name has been chanted and turned into a story in the city, and it is also like some people built their own. It’s the same as if the hut married its own woman and gave birth to its own children. Before eating, everyone wants the same thing; after eating, what they want is different. I am his younger brother, and I know that is what the elder brother wants, why How about making such a request?"

"Brothers and sisters are still young and haven't grown up yet. If I live, Jixia will remember me. I will have a lot of slave land in the future, so I will lead them to live a good life. If I die, Jixia will definitely Take care of them. Why worry about them?"

"Just as Ji Xia commented on the number nine, saying that she was willing to send her son E-strider to Xiacheng as a hostage, she really thought about her son; the same is true for her elder brother, making meritorious deeds and harvesting land slaves is the real long-term plan for her younger siblings. Instead of staying by your side every meal and asking for warmth."

He said a lot in one breath, and secretly hoped that Chen Jian would never treat him as a cold-blooded person who didn't care about blood relatives. Seeing Chen Jian nodding in approval, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then I'm here." Onozawa, what are you going to do?"

"Apart from some simple herbs for pain, I teach them how to plant them. Tell the story of Xiacheng in your spare time. The rest is just to wait."

"That's all? Don't need to find a way to remember the way there?"

"No. And don't try to."

"I'll do it."

"That's it, you go now. Maybe a few months, maybe a few years, I hope you can hold on."

"If you want to eat red fruit, you have to endure the sharp thorns."

"It's easy to think, but hard to do. Do it well, and when you come back in the future, I will give you what you want."

Bai thanked him, took out the cloth and covered his eyes, and smiled at everyone, hearing the creaking sound of the people in front of them stepping on the snow and slowly moving forward, a fire was burning in his heart.

He heard Chen Jian yelling loudly in his ears, and then heard He's response.

"After discussing for so long, I feel more and more that we may not like what you are going to do, Ji Xia."

Chen Jian smiled and said, "At least I haven't done it yet. You can take him back, and even in case he knows the way to your place, you can ask many people to watch him, or tie him up with a rope."

"We'll do it. Not for fear of your ridicule. We don't trust people like you any more than you trust us. You may be eccentric, but like a white crow, just Oddly colored but still a crow, I can't believe you're not like them."

Chen Jian thought about the secrets of smelting iron that might be hidden in the bronze and unexplored meteorite tribes living in the bronze and the unexplored meteorite tribe. It is impossible to do it on both sides of the river, but it should be possible to make some changes in a small model city. , so confidently replied: "I really can be different from them."

"Why? Can you make food and food without slaves?"

"Maybe."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He laughed loudly, shaking the branches of snow in the distant woods to fall, he didn't say a word to Chen Jian, because he felt that such a lie was more like a joke, so he found two pepper vines to carry Ji Bai on his body , Let the released partners carry those salt goods on their backs, and walk around.

Chapter 38 Upheaval

On the way back, Chen Jian had someone count the severed heads, and washed the blood on them in the cold spring when he came, revealing the traces of slaves scalded.

"These things can be given to Su Yue."

"Are heads useful? A dead man and a head alone do not plant the ground."

"But it can scare those who haven't died. What Suyue wants is not the life of the escaped slaves in Onozawa, but the fear of the slaves who did not escape in Sucheng. The former is the means, and the latter is the purpose."

"But Chief Suyue will know about our exchange with the escaped slaves in Onozawa one day."

"So I helped him drive away the surrounding villages. The hatred between him and the escaped slaves of Onozawa stemmed from the slaves who had not escaped in Sucheng, not the escaped slaves themselves. So I sent these heads and moved those Village, even if he knew about it, he wouldn’t blame us. Besides, he still wants us.”

"What do you want from us? Gunpowder? Copper smelting? Farming? Numerology?"

"More than that. Sucheng wants these things, and other cities also want them, and we can connect Sucheng with those cities that are far away from Sucheng. It is not easy for him to be the leader, and he needs our support."

A few people smiled unnaturally, thinking that Xia Cheng would blush not long ago when he said that he was a relative of someone else, could it be that it is so important now?

Chen Jian didn't say much, he said that although Su Yue was smart and brave, he was still in a hurry. He didn't have common enemies and interests, and he didn't have enough strength to be a real leader. .But even this nominal leader needs to borrow all possible power to achieve it.

The reason why he went to Onozawa with peace of mind was because after experiencing what happened that day, he decided that within ten days of this alliance, there would be no result that everyone could accept—the times had changed.

However, this time he miscalculated, and before returning to Sucheng, several people along the Caohe River were waiting on the snow marks. When they saw Chen Jian, they rushed over and said, "Ji Xia, you can come back!" gone."

Chen Jian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Could it be possible that everyone has discussed and agreed on an oath? Just wait for us to come back and make an oath?"

"No...the leader of Weihe Eyue is waiting in the city, let's talk about it when we go back."

Returning to Sucheng in a hurry, I felt that the atmosphere in the city was a bit strange. It seemed much colder than when I left. Many people seemed to want to say hello to Chen Jian, but Chen Jian pretended not to pay attention on the horse and hurried back to his residence.

In the room, E Yueweihe and the others had been waiting anxiously.

"Ji Xia, you can be considered to be back. Our Caohe City League has vowed to advance and retreat together, and now we are asking everyone to make up their minds."

"What's the matter?"

"After you left, we discussed for a few days. Everyone disagreed with the oath, and it was a mess. It was nothing more than that those who were close to the river bank hoped that all the clans would send people to dredge the river, and those who were far away from the river bank were unwilling to send people; those who were close to the barbarians wanted everyone to send troops. Those who are far away do not want their own clansmen to die hundreds of miles away. Discussing these from the beginning, no matter how they argue, there is no result."

"On the seventh day, a leader of a city near Sucheng suddenly died of illness at night. The leader's city was not big, and it was very close to Sucheng. In addition, it was close to Dongyi, so he supported Suyue the most. The leader of the clan alliance."

"Several witch doctors also went to see him when he died of illness. It should be a sudden illness, and it is normal for him to be quite old. On that day, everyone stopped discussing and discussed the funeral. Chief Suyue was just grieving. "

"But the next day, Suyue's leader suddenly changed, claiming that the leader's illness and death was strange, and his soul lingered in his dream to tell him that his death was not normal. There must be someone who didn't want the alliance to succeed. These remarks are extremely serious. Immediately, some leaders in the north accused the leader of Suyue for talking nonsense, and the leader of Suyue took many clans who supported him to worship the ancestors, claiming that they must find out why the leader died."

"This matter was not uncontrollable, but the leader of Suyue claimed that it was an act of betrayal of his relatives, and hoped that all relatives would swear that if they found out which clan murdered that leader in the future, they would raise their troops to discuss it together. "

"Now that I have said these words, it has completely cut off the possibility of everyone discussing together. Many clans in the north refused to make an oath, and the leader of Suyue accused them of being guilty, and the other leaders asked him who was going to decide what was going on. Which tribe is at fault? If Sucheng decides, is it free to accuse a city that disagrees with Suyue as the leader as the murderer? They think that the leader just died of a normal sudden illness, so they made such an oath will not participate."

Speaking of this, Chen Jian was completely dumbfounded, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
