Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

After some bargaining, the sacrificial ceremony outside also entered the next stage. The priest asked Yuchi Baoqi to put on the feather crown and necklace baptized by the three stars of Orion, and walked with him to the highest temple to complete the ceremony.

Every time Yuchi Baoqi took a step up, he heard the shouts and clapping of the Hopi people on both sides of the avenue.

"Uh~~~hey!"

Under the guidance of the priest, Yuchi Baoqi could only walk slowly step by step. Every step he climbed had to wait for blessings from his tribe and for the priest to recite prayers.

Finally, the long night was over, and when the sky turned white, the priest finally brought Yuchi Baoqi to the temple. The priest and Yuchi Baoqi stood side by side.

The priest signaled Yuchi Baoqi to imitate his movements, then spread his legs and knelt down, spreading his arms flat.

Yuchi Baoqi did as he was told. The ceremony had come to this point. Strangely enough, he hadn't slept all day and night and didn't feel sleepy.

After the demonstration was completed, the priest stood up and walked to the statue and began to lower his head and recite prayers silently until the sun rose. A ray of sunlight entered the temple through a square hole in the temple and hit Yuchi Baoqi directly in front of him.

Just when Yuchi Baoqi was surprised by the Hopi people's extreme calculation of the astronomical calendar, what Yuchi Baoqi didn't know was that in the eyes of the Hopi people, Li Tai, Su Lie and others, Yuchi Baoqi was completely enveloped by the sun. .

Moreover, the sunlight shining on Yuchi Baoqi did not leak out at all, and the surroundings were still in darkness. Only Yuchi Baoqi was illuminated like a light bulb.

After the ceremony ended, the priest who had performed the ceremony for the whole night also returned to his temple. Yuchi Baoqi was supported by Su Lie and Li Tai and returned to Shi Numu's temple. Since the announcement of the end of the ceremony, Yuchi Baoqi's whole body I was full of energy before but suddenly felt sleepy.

Yuchi Baoqi fell into a deep sleep as soon as he arrived at the temple. Li Tai informed Su Lie: "General Su, I will send a message back. After sending the message, I will bring someone over. Please take care of my brother-in-law's safety first. Excuse me."

Su Lie nodded: "There is no need for the fourth prince to do this. It is Lie's own business. If possible, please ask General Qin to lead troops. If these natives suddenly attack, I am afraid..."

Yuchi Baoqi opened his eyes again. It was night again, and there was no light in the dark temple. Yuchi Baoqi's eyes quickly adapted.

"Ariel?"

Su Lie opened the door of the temple from outside and walked in: "Young Master, you have been sleeping all day. Do you feel any discomfort?"

Yuchi Baoqi felt his body. An inexplicable sense of clarity made him very comfortable and transparent. It was probably the psychological effect of the sacrifice. After all, as the protagonist, he participated in the whole process of the sacrifice, and the psychological implications were quite sufficient. of.

"General Qin is drinking with those natives, there is no need to worry about his safety."

Yuchi Baoqi stretched his body and said, "These people are Hopi tribesmen. Go and call the prince Li Tai, and the young man named A Nian who is accompanying him."

Soon, Li Tai brought Anian to the temple. Both of them drank more or less some local wine. It didn't have much alcohol but was very tasty. It was very comfortable in the hot weather.

Yuchi Baoqi took out the translation of the Hopi language that had just been exchanged from the system. It had the pronunciation and meaning of the Navajo language marked in pinyin, and handed it to Anian.

"A Nian, I can't stay here for long. Agriculture originally requires a lot of manpower. I will go to the Hopi people and tell them to listen to you. You are my spokesperson here. You can carry this translation with you."

A Nian looked at Li Tai, who nodded: "My brother-in-law must have chosen the right person, take it."

Ah Nian took the translation, flipped through a few pages, and tried to read it. Yuchi Baoqi nodded after hearing it: "Although there is still a big accent due to the pronunciation of Pinyin, it's not that I can't understand it. Speak slower so they can understand."

Yuchi Baoqi got up and walked out of the temple and went to find the priest. It happened that the old man Shi Numu from the previous generation was also there.

"Snumu, you're awake."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "I have other matters and cannot stay here for long. I have chosen a spokesperson who will be responsible for helping you live a better life."

A Nian walked away from Yuchi Baoqi and read according to the translation: "I will... help you... agriculture... become a better... better life."

The priest and the old man looked at Yuchi Baoqi and Anian in shock. A person who did not understand Navajo language at all learned Navajo language in an instant? Although the pronunciation is not that standard, it is indeed understandable to them.

Yuchi Baoqi exchanged some pleasantries and said to Li Tai: "In the large farmland here, half of the 300,000 people can be directly used as labor. You can help An Nian manage them. I will ask Huai Dao Leave five hundred Qin Wuwei here, and I will send people over later to build infrastructure."

Li Tai nodded: "No problem, brother-in-law, just leave it to me."

Yuchi Baoqi stayed until daytime the next day, and Anian practiced by himself all night. Accompanied by himself and the priest, he stood on the altar and looked at the densely packed Hopi people below.

"I am the spokesperson chosen by Shi Numu. My instructions are Shi Numu's instructions. My will is Shi Numu's will. I will lead the tribe towards a better life, a peaceful life, and an eternally stable life!"

The Hopi people didn't understand the situation at first. They all knew that the newly elected Snumu was a foreigner, but the newly elected Snumu was leaving now?

A Nian gradually entered the state and began to plan the direction of agricultural development. He chose large machinery to carry out preliminary and later operations, leaving the field management in the middle to manpower.

In this way, when the irrigation system is not perfect and pesticides are insufficient, the advantages of manpower can be maximized to achieve the goal of intensive farming.

After the supporting agricultural facilities are fully completed in the later period, intensive farming will no longer be necessary, and the quantity of vast fields will be enough to crush the quality of each acre of land.

Seeing that Anian was fine, Yuchi Baoqi said hello to Qin Huaidao and left with Su Lie. After finding the off-road vehicle parked by the field, Yuchi Baoqi took Su Lie and kicked the accelerator to the end.

Su Lie had never tried such a violent start even in the army: "I'll test it!"

Yuchi Baoqi stared forward: "Sit tight, Princess Changle will probably go crazy waiting for me at home."

A large amount of dust and dirt was thrown up behind the off-road vehicle. Yuchi Baoqi only drove there in three hours from the original four-hour drive. The whole car was covered with dirt and dust all the way down.

"Husband, did you spend the night at Qingque's place last night? Did you sleep well?"

Yuchi Baoqi rolled down the window and saw Li Lizhi holding a bowl of wolf-toothed potatoes in her hand and looking at him with bright eyes.
