These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Xiao Feng stunned and his ears buzzing. He looked at Xiao Qin in disbelief, wondering if he was dazzling him.
Xiao Qin shook his head: "Your father never told you? Maybe your father himself doesn't know about this. This is normal. There are no clan members around. If the elders don't tell, they won't know."
Xiao Feng remained silent because he knew that now that Xiao Qin had spoken, he would continue talking whether he asked or not. If you speak now, it will only make your thoughts more confusing.
He needs to wake up. When fighting against someone like Xiao Qin, he will take advantage of the slightest confusion in his mind.
Xiao Qin obviously knew Xiao Feng's psychological activities, and he nodded appreciatively, saying that he was worthy of being a member of the Xiao family.
"Our Xiao family is not from the Central Plains by birth. Although we are not of the same lineage as the Tatars, we still have the same way of life.
Galloping on the grassland, the fierce horses singing wildly, drawing the bow outside the fortress, killing tigers and capturing wolves!
Moreover, we were once the strongest overlord, and we were only one step away from unifying the world! "
A thought flashed through Xiao Feng's mind. He finally understood that Xiao Qin was not lying to him. It was the long-standing glory of the Xiao family, so long ago that many people had forgotten it.
Khitan, Daliao, Daliao of Yelu family and Xiao family. The emperor's surname was Yelu from generation to generation, and the queens belonged to the Xiao family from generation to generation.
The Liao Dynasty was once extremely powerful, and it was indeed only one step away from dominating the world and becoming the leader of the Central Plains. However, under the joint attack of Song and Jin, Daliao finally fell.
Even the Khitan nation has since disappeared in the long history of Chinese civilization. The blood of Khitan has been integrated into all ethnic groups. You are among me, and you are among me.
Xiao Feng suddenly thought of Xiao Wannian. Looking back now, he did have the temperament of a person from outside the Great Wall, even though he was a native of the Central Plains.
He likes to eat barbecue, drink strong wine, ride fast horses, hunt, and fight.
A wry smile appeared on Xiao Feng's lips. He thought of his "yellow gelding", which was also a terribly fast horse.
From Xiao Feng's expression, Xiao Qin knew that he didn't need to say anything more. He quietly waited for Xiao Feng to wake up from the shock before speaking again.
"So, we are the royal family, and the blood of the royal family flows in our bodies! Why can't we be the emperor?"
"So you're going to cooperate with the Tatars? Do you want to imitate Shi Jingtang?"
Xiao Qin's eyes twitched, whether he was happy or angry, but the smile on his face did not change at all.
"Shi Jingtang is my son of Daliao. I will learn from him. But I understand what you mean. The Tatars and I are cooperating and we have already agreed.
I, the White Lotus Sect, have followers all over the world, even among the Mongolian tribes. After all, the Tatars are just one of the Mongolian tribes. They may be strong for a while, but they may not be strong forever.
Anda Khan is a hero of the generation, and he also understands this truth very well. With the current situation of the Mongols, it is no longer possible to recreate the grand scene of those years.
But when he became a grassland overlord, he also included these places outside Shanhaiguan, including Tibet and Huijiang. He was interested in these places. "
Xiao Feng thought about the place Xiao Qin described in his mind, and roughly understood the agreement between Xiao Qin and An Dahan.
"Any place suitable for grazing belongs to Anda Khan; any place suitable for farming belongs to you. You want to be Qin Shihuang within the Great Wall."
Xiao Qin nodded and smiled. This younger brother is really smart. He can speak clearly without any effort.
"But in my opinion, neither you nor Anda Khan are easily satisfied. When the time comes, no one may be willing to share the world equally."
Xiao Feng didn't raise his voice deliberately, but Xiao Qin understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing.
“Brother Feng, if the relationship between An Dahan and I is so easily provoked, we won’t be able to cooperate for so long.
As the saying goes, a hero knows a hero. We both know each other very well about what kind of people we are. When that day comes, we will decide the outcome with our strength and leave it to fate.
There is no contradiction between competing for hegemony in the future and cooperating now. Back then, the Song and Jin Dynasties united to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty and the Mongolian Dynasty united to destroy the Jin Dynasty. In the end, the Song and Mongolia countries fought until the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Isn't it like this?
This is history, this is war, this is the world, this is the general trend! "
Xiao Feng drank a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Brother is so brave, I wish you success as soon as possible. I can't help you, will you let me go?"
Xiao Qin was so impassioned that she felt quite troubled when she saw that Xiao Feng was still indifferent.
"Brother Feng, you are a master of heavenly books and Taoism, so you are just a name for Tianxuan Zhenren. Join forces with me. In the future, we will be successful, and I will share the world equally with you."
Xiao Feng shook his head: "You and I have already shared such a good thing in the world once. How about sharing it with me again? I don't believe it."
Xiao Qin said sternly: "I, Xiao Qin, swear by the blood of my ancestors that as long as Xiao Feng is willing to help me fight for the world, after the event is completed, the world will be divided equally. I will never break my promise, otherwise heaven and earth will destroy me, and my ancestors will not tolerate it!"
Xiao Feng didn't expect Xiao Qin to be so serious, so he couldn't help being stunned and silent for a moment.
The wonderful connection between blood allowed him to feel that Xiao Qin was telling the truth, whether it was because of blood relationship or because he wanted to borrow his Taoist skills.
Xiao Feng also put away his playful smile and faced Xiao Qin seriously, very sincerely. This is Xiao Feng's principle. People who are sincere to themselves must be treated sincerely, even if they are enemies.
Even Yan Shifan is the same. But Xiao Feng never worried about this problem, because Yan Shifan couldn't be sincere to him, or even to anyone, including his parents.
That guy should have been an insincere guy from birth.
"Brother Xiao Qin, forgive me for not agreeing. Your ideals and ambitions require unscrupulous means, and I can't do it.
You are right, I am not a womanly person, but my bottom line may be a little higher than yours.
You say that I am a Khitan, and I believe it, but the Khitans are also human beings, and the Han people are also human beings.
If I lead troops into Mongolian territory, I will not let the soldiers massacre, let alone order the soldiers to massacre.
Brother, I have a question for you, what are Han people? "
Xiao Qin was stunned. He had a lot of ideas and knowledge. No matter who tried to do it, he had never been at a disadvantage when fighting against opponents. However, Xiao Feng's question really stumped him.
Although he felt that this question contained a mystery, he had to answer it and had to hesitate to speak.
"The Han people are named after the Han Dynasty in China. Before the Han Dynasty, the Han people called themselves 'Huaxia' or 'Zhuxia'.
The Han people are mainly agricultural civilization, with the Yan and Huang emperors as their ancestors, Taoist culture as the body, and Confucian culture as the function. "
I have to say that Xiao Qin's answer was wonderful, erudite and knowledgeable, but this was not the answer Xiao Feng wanted.
"Brother, Han people are all people who identify with Han culture!"
Xiao Qin's eyes widened. He had never heard of such a statement.
"What does this mean?"
"Brother, let me ask you, if I change my surname to Xiao, and I don't learn the Cangjie Heavenly Book, then in your eyes, am I a Han or a Khitan?"
Xiao Qin was silent. He knew what Xiao Feng meant, but couldn't refute it, so he smiled and changed the subject.
"Why do you want to change your surname? What's the reason for changing your surname?"
"For example, my father died a few years ago and my mother remarried. Can I change my surname to that of my stepfather?"
Xiao Feng's magical brain circuit made Xiao Qin dumbfounded. He frowned and looked at Xiao Feng: "What kind of analogy is this?"
Xiao Feng smiled: "The son changing his surname after his stepfather is actually a type of Han culture, which is not ridiculous. It embodies a very important part of Han culture: although blood is important, etiquette is even more important.
There is a more important implication here, that is, the grace of childbearing is not as good as the grace of nurturing. Maybe not everyone agrees with this, but as the main culture of a nation, it hints at this. "
Xiao Qin was knowledgeable and knew that what Xiao Feng said was true. She did not want to argue more about it and just refuted it lightly.
"Not only the Han people have this custom, but other ethnic groups also have it."
Xiao Feng nodded: "Such customs and culture were spread by the Han people!"
Xiao Qin shook his head dissatisfied: "The spread and integration of culture has a long history and is difficult to verify. There is no way to prove who spread it to whom. Maybe it was the Khitan who spread it to the Han people!"
Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Qin like a hunter looking at a fox that fell into his trap.
"So since ancient times, the cultures of various ethnic groups have been spreading and integrating with each other. The bloodlines of various ethnic groups have also been spreading and integrating.
You said that the Han people and the Khitans are different, so where are the Khitans now? Was everyone killed when the Liao Dynasty was destroyed? "
Xiao Qin knew that he had been fooled. It was impossible for him to beat Xiao Feng on this track, so he simply stopped talking and allowed Xiao Feng to draw a firm conclusion.
“Bloodlines have been merging, and cultures have been merging. Over the past few thousand years, the distinction between ethnic groups has become less obvious.
If it weren't for the people in power using ethnic differences as an excuse to fight for power, how could the people care so much?
If you don’t believe me, go to the black market at the border. People there put on the same clothes and do business in the same language. Can you tell who is a Han, who is a Tatar, and who is a former Khitan? ! "
Some people died, but not completely...
