From Chief to Ball

"If we really want to live like this for ten years, I can't fight them anymore. I dare not and I can't break with them. Even if I still have prestige, even if you and Yu Qian'er are still on my side, they will find out your faults , forcing me to choose. Should I choose you? Or choose them?"

"Choosing you is to oppose the relatives and nobles of the entire Xia City and those who hope for future generations. Xia City's unique top-down strict planning and control system will collapse, and Xia City will be finished."

"If I choose them, I will have to kill both of you with a single sword, and hang up your corpses to set an example: this is what happens to anyone who listens to me."

"Nowadays there is no second way to go, because there is no way to produce so much food and so much goods, everything is a fantasy. Even if the people at the bottom break with the upper class, it will only take another 20 years to become the upper class. Some of them will pretend to be on my side when I break with them, relying on what they have learned and the reputation they have accumulated before they are still the ruling class, and they dare not kill me due to prestige, just stay until I die How long can I live?"

"If people don't have me, I can naturally be superior to others. But what if I have others? If you don't do it, someone else will do it. If I leave those hundreds of people, I can still find hundreds of people to manage the city; descendants When hereditary inheritance cuts off the hope of those who are literate but whose parents are not relatives, when 2 people have [-] opposition and [-] support, I am afraid of them?"

"Put these 800 people on the street during the day, and thousands of people applaud at night. Whether it is right or wrong, at least a place has been vacated and hope is given to the rest. I will give some questions, such as arithmetic, literacy, farming, military formation, and labor. Workshops, management, etc., those who learn well and answer more correctly can fill the vacancies of these 800 people.”

"I can't afford to take care of other places, but at least in Xiacheng, I want to cut off their descendants before they grow up, before they are just individuals and not a family passed down from generation to generation. Move the mind of being born superior to others."

He took Red Fish's hand and said softly, "You have to stand with me until the end."

Red Fish felt the pair of rough hands holding his own, wrapped them warmly, felt the combination of the deep marks left by the spinning thread and the protruding calluses of the opponent holding the sword, and buried his head on his chest , responded: "Okay. After all these years, you and I still have no children, so when I die, only you will be with me. Without children, I don't have to think about letting children inherit everything you have. Except You, I have nothing, of course I will stand with you till the end."

"A long time ago, when I was a priest of the clan, I was curious about how you squeezed out such a big clay pot without breaking it. After I arrived in Xia City, I saw many things that I had never seen before. At that time, I was in Think, how much of this weird stuff can I see? How much new stuff are you going to bring?"

"When the mill was first built, Yuqian'er said that you wanted to sleep with me, so I thought it would be best for you to sleep sooner or later, because I can't give birth to a child by myself, and I have to be slept by a man before I can give birth. The continuation after my death. If that’s the case, why don’t I sleep with you? At that time, I was like a female wolf among wolves, staring at only the first wolf, because it is the strongest, and the children born must be very strong good."

"After sleeping for a long time, I realized that I was like a kite, tied by you. I want to fly high, see everything I have never seen before, and see everything I have never thought about or even dare to think about. I can only be tied to you, because if the thread is broken, I will fall, and I can only see the dirt, but I am tired of looking at the dirt."

Lying on his chest for a long time, Hongyu lightly pushed Chen Jian away, sighed, smiled sweetly, and said as if he had let go of something in his heart: "If you lose in the future, you won't be able to beat them, and they will really force you to kill me!" , Remember to smile at me between the swords. Secretly, they can't see it."

Chapter 82 Su Xia Limited Sovereignty System ([-])

Watching the red fish leave gracefully, the last sweet smile somehow made Chen Jian think of an idiom that made him tremble all over: a word becomes a prophecy.

After standing for a long time, I put away the words that had been lingering in my mind, looked at the vast lake, and finally walked to the pier, where soldiers wearing freshly dyed clothes had already lined up at the pier.

"Let's go, let the rest of the dozen or so come back and let them take the boat again. This is a private matter, it's not considered an expedition, and the military judge doesn't have to punish you. You have changed into new clothes, and you should be more relaxed when you get there. Energetic."

The black clothes worn by the soldiers were indeed more energetic than before, coupled with a sense of superiority that no one else has, the clansmen carefully prevented the clothes from getting dirty and wrinkled along the way.

When sailing to the vicinity of Sucheng, Chen Jian asked people to raise the flag, and the sound of drums and flutes sounded in unison, but it startled the people who were fishing by the river in the distance. They had never seen such blue and black clothes before. He ran away and told Su Tang not far away.

Su Tang was very familiar with the sound of the drum and flute, obviously it belonged to Xia Cheng, rubbed his eyes, and then saw that the blue and black clothes in the water were so neat, that less than a hundred people actually walked out with a shocking aura.

He hurried over and wondered, "Ji Xia, why haven't I seen you for more than ten days, and your clothes are like this?"

"Why, it doesn't look good?"

"It's beautiful! It's beautiful! The soldiers look so much better than the original clothes with layers of dust and different colors."

He looked at Xiacheng's army enviously, and then thought, could it be that Xiacheng people have already built a city in Dayozawa?Otherwise where did this thing come from?

But...without people, and without slaves, how could a city be built so quickly?

"Ji Xia, what's the result of Onozawa's encirclement and suppression of those escaped slaves?"

Chen Jian smiled and waved his hands and said, "Your mission is fulfilled, there are no escaped slaves in Onozawa."

"No... gone? Ji Xia is joking? Even though the people of Xiacheng are good at fighting, those escaped slaves have no trace..."

Su Tang suddenly thought of a possibility, and suddenly said: "Could it be that those escaped slaves became slaves in Xiacheng?"

Chen Jian laughed and said: "Those slaves have killed their masters. They would rather starve to death in Dayeze than go back to be slaves. Could it be that being a slave in my Xiacheng is better than being a slave in Sucheng? It's not the same. Regardless. How to put it, since then, there will be no more slaves in Onozawa, and I will fulfill my promise, and I will capture any slaves who escaped in Onozawa and send them back.”

Su Tang still didn't understand, but he knew that Chen Jian never lied. Since he said that there would be no more slaves, there really would be no more. It's easy, unless there are hundreds of soldiers guarding Xia City.

He repeatedly praised Chen Jian for his meritorious service in exterminating the fugitive slaves, and said: "The chiefs of all the clans have basically come together, the Caohe River is too far away, and Ji Xia is also the leader, so let Wei Xi'e, who came with Ji Xia, and others People will replace father and brother. I will send someone to inform father that today I will enter the city to worship the ancestors."

The two fast horses led away, and Chen Jian joined forces with Su Tang. The soldiers of Sucheng admired Xiacheng's new clothes, and wished they had one of them.

Not long after, Kuai Ma reported that the leaders of the various clans had known about it, and they were waiting outside the city to welcome them. Chen Jian ordered people to beat drums and gongs.

He also asked the eastern city to lure the petitioners to hold various gifts of linen, silk, and rooted millet in both hands, and followed closely to express their gratitude to the two cities of Su and Xia for exposing the hypocrisy and evil of their leaders.

Chen Jian was familiar with this kind of showmanship, so he asked the Xiacheng fast horses who stayed in Sucheng to go to Sucheng one after another from about ten miles away from Sucheng, and reported every quarter of an hour.

At the gate of Sucheng, the leaders of various cities, or the relatives who could not be sent in person, watched the scene of the fast horse galloping to report, and felt envious, wondering when they would have such an army.

Coupled with the previous rumors and the fact that the cities in the east were fighting, many cities are full of vigilance against the sudden rise of Xiacheng, and there may be a tinge of relief, at least Xiacheng is their ally, not an enemy.

The secret agreement has already been concluded, and the leaders of each city have perfected the theory of blood lineage under the leadership of Su Yue, and at the same time secretly agreed on the future implementation method of the dark agreement. All cities are obliged to jointly send troops to drive him out of power.

Regarding the incident in the eastern city, these leaders were not too vigilant, thinking that this was a model of father-to-son not interfering with other cities, and they welcomed Chen Jian sincerely.They still don't know that what Chen Jian is going to throw is far from as simple as they thought.

Standing behind her father, Yuemei leisurely looked at the riders passing by in the distance, looked at the horse with a white star on its forehead, recalled that this was the one that pulled her igloo in winter, and she was full of thoughts.

After returning to the city in winter, I was depressed all the time. I wanted to forget the man who called me a bird in a cage with harsh words, but the man took her across the big river, saw the scenery that I had never seen before, and all kinds of interesting stories. Even the people in the city will not understand.

When Ji Song, Shi Qi and others moved to their city to perform, a few scenes of love drama made her worry even more. After asking clearly, everyone said that Ji Xia made it. Why would a person who can't come up with lyrics such as "Beauty of the Bandit and Beauty of the Beauty" comment on himself like that?

Sometimes I faintly feel that what the man said is right, that I am really a bird in a cage, and I don't know anything.However, sometimes I think, even if I am a bird in a cage, why should I be so fierce?I didn't know that people in that village would freeze to death and starve to death when they moved out in winter, but it was out of kindness. In the city, everyone praised me for being so beautiful and kind. How could I be useless with you?

When Ji Song, Shi Qi and others were on tour in Yueyi, Yuemei once quietly asked that woman who performed beautifully and always made people laugh or cry, and often said some words that she couldn't think of but also felt beautiful. She knew the words were taught by the man, but at least the woman could speak them.

"Shi Chin, a man said that I am a bird in a cage. He said he likes birds flying in the air. He also said... He also said that I look like a pretty clay pot that can only be used to put flowers. What should I do?"

Shi Qi didn't know that the name of the bird in the cage came from her leader, but she was born in Xia City, she has been exposed to many things, witnessed countless changes, and she has played a lot of dramas, and her mouth is sharper than others. Isn't it simple? Either you like a man who likes a bird in a cage, or you just peck the cage and fly out."

"But I've been in the cage for a long time, and my wings have long forgotten how to fly. I'm the most beautiful in the cage, but once I fly out, I'm not even as good as a sparrow... maybe even not as good as a fly, so what should I do?"

Shi Qi curled her lips and said: "Then why don't you fly out? Why do you have to like someone who doesn't like you? That person treats you like a pottery pot, and naturally some people regard you as a beautiful jade treasure. Look at the people in our city. Red Fish, that woman is strange and strong, she looks... just like that, she was lazy and resisted when she was a slave, and she can eat with the leader when she is no longer a slave, but she spins yarn for food by herself, I don’t know what I’m thinking What, and... and can't bear children. But the leader treats her as a beautiful jade. You see, there are people who like such a weird woman. You are beautiful and the daughter of the leader. You are good-looking. How many people like you Woolen cloth?"

Yuemei recalled the embarrassment and heartache after hearing these words at that time, and she is still a little miserable until now. The one she likes is the one who likes weird women, so what should I do?

She couldn't figure it out all day long, and it wasn't until after Shi Qi and the others left and everything that was full of Xia Cheng's flavor left the city that Yuemei realized that she really fell in love with that person in Xia Cheng. After remembering it, I realized that I was happy when Shi Qi and others were acting, not just because of those scenes, but because of the person behind the scenes.

Bandit Ru is the beauty, the beauty of the beauty.The libretto that I just heard not long ago was so full of thoughts that I couldn't help crying again.

Not long after, when Sucheng's envoy came to Yueyi, she followed her father to Sucheng without thinking, because she heard that the woman named Hongyu was there, and she wanted to see it, but she was not afraid. Even a little confident.

I am indeed a bird in a cage, flying slowly and low, but at least I have wings, and one day I can fly very high.What about that woman?What kind of woman is she if she can't even give birth to a child?What man doesn't want to have children of his own?

A vine of viciousness and jealousy quietly covered her heart, and she didn't notice it, quietly waiting for that person to appear.

After a few quick rides, Yuemei raised her head suddenly, because she heard the melodious sound of the flute passing through the autumn fields and flying straight to her ears. The first time she heard this flute was the last time she came here on the way to the city.

Looking up, the man was riding a white horse, wearing black clothes, leather armor, two wild pheasant tail feathers on the turban on his head, and a handle called A sword without a front.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yue Mei spoke in a voice that only she could hear, the hatred in her heart turned into a soft smile.

The drums sounded, and the leaders and the people from Sucheng who came to welcome them shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Ji Xia for quelling the family rebellion. Please enter the city and tell your ancestors."
