May is the time of spring plowing, when the earth is sprouting with life. The east side of the sacred mountain is barren and fighting, while the west side of the sacred mountain is lush and peaceful. Hundreds of thousands of Mexican farmers are busy in the fields, sowing hope for the year. Thousands of alliance militiamen carried food on their backs and struggled to transport supplies to the north and south to supply the army.
Looking along the grain transport team, you can see the starting point of the north and south grain roads, which is the magnificent capital city in the lake! Hundreds of canoes were constantly busy transporting food and military supplies to the shore, and then handed them over to the transporting militiamen under the supervision of samurai.
Lake Texcoco is glowing with light, like a floor-to-ceiling silver mirror, shining on the prosperity of the world. At the end of the lake, the large market in Beicheng has been strictly controlled! All grain, copper, and obsidian were confiscated by the Alliance and were not allowed to flow out during the Eastern Expedition!
Although the Battle of the Eastern Expedition seemed devastating, it was actually a truly national-destroying battle. As for Nuoda's lake capital, only four thousand royal warriors were stationed at this time, focusing on guarding the palace and temple area in the center.
"You must believe in my god Huitzilopochtli! He is supreme and omnipotent! May he protect the kingdom, everything goes well in the Eastern Expedition, and the old enemies of the alliance are destroyed!"
Entering the palace area, the devout prayers of women can be heard from the mansions of nobles everywhere, accompanied by burning rosin and sacred smoke. In this Eastern Expedition, every noble family in the capital sent warriors, and even father and son participated in the war at the same time. It was a great success in the country!
"Praise the Lord God! God bless the alliance! The priests have been doing divination for days, and the battle on the front line is going well!"
A dozen low-level priests held wooden boards high and ran out of the temple area. Their faces were full of joy, and they kept announcing the good news of divination, soothing the hearts of the nobles and common people.
In the temple area, in front of a gorgeous and vast house, two priests in gorgeous clothes were waiting patiently. One of them is older, with gray eyebrows and hair, and the other is younger, with very handsome eyebrows.
It was already afternoon. According to the alliance's practice, the distinguished priests and elders had already gone home to rest and were no longer busy. However, the two waited for a long time before a low-level priest walked out of the house and responded with a cold expression.
"Priests from Cholula! Dear descendants of God, the priests and elders of Ugel don't have time. You go back!"
"Ah?! Why don't you have time!"
The young priest raised his brows and wanted to move forward to argue. He was the son of a priest and elder, and he had never received such a cold reception in the holy city of Cholula.
"boom!"
Several temple warriors guarding the palace of the priests and elders all pulled out their war clubs. Their expressions were cold, their sticks pointed at each other, and they were about to come forward.
"Weiqi, step back! Wait, don't do anything!"
The elder priest Kuio frowned, and quickly stretched out his hand to drag the young priest Weiqi back. Then, he reached into his arms, fumbled around for a while, took out a small turquoise stone, approached it with skillful steps, and flicked it quickly.
"This priest..."
"Give them all to me..."
Low-level priest Sipili raised his brows, and before he spoke, his hands felt warm and smooth. He glanced down, immediately stopped talking, and calmly put away the high-grade turquoise stone.
"O Lord God! These priests from Cholula are really rich!..."
"Ahem, this priest."
The elder priest Kuio suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked with a smile.
"Priest Elder Wugel, why are you so busy recently? An old friend from the Holy City of Cholula came to visit three times, but he couldn't spare any time?..."
"this..."
Priest Sipili was hesitant, or maybe he was just pretending to be hesitant.
"cough."
The priests and elders of Kuio did not hesitate and took another look in their hands.
"Why!"
Priest Sipili remained calm, with a smile on his face.
"Dear Elder Cholula, you don't know something. Elder Wugel has been extremely busy recently! Although he is at home now, he has no energy to meet you."
"Um..."
Hearing this, the priests and elders of Kuio frowned. He reached into his arms again and asked softly.
"I wonder what Elder Wugel is busy with?"
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Priest Sipili immediately became solemn. His face became stiff, as if he was pinched by the door panel. I saw him waving his hand again and giving direct instructions to the warriors.
"Use the edgeless side of your war stick to drive them away!"
The incident happened suddenly. The priests and elders of Kuio were still stunned on the spot and received a blow from the war stick. His old face was throbbing with pain and he could hardly breathe. This time, it was Priest Weiqi's turn to be in a hurry and drag the elder out. And when they left the door, the temple warriors guarding the house stopped chasing them away.
Both of them were hit hard several times, wincing in pain while looking at each other.
"Elder Kuio, what did you just say? Why did that low-level priest suddenly turn his back?"
Gu Xi
Young Weezy was a little puzzled. He looked at Sipili who was walking away in a hurry. He walked into the courtyard and disappeared in two steps, as if there was wind under his feet.
"I just asked what Elder Wugel was doing."
Elder Kuio gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He thought about it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He didn't know where he had violated the taboo.
"Elder Kuio, the other party is unwilling to meet. So what should we do? We have been preparing for so long..."
Weiqi lowered his voice again, a little anxious. The two of them had been planning for a long time, carrying extremely precious artifacts and preparing words to attract people's hearts, but they couldn't even see the person's face, so they couldn't put in the effort at all!
"...Now, all the important towns in the north and south of the Tlaxcala people have fallen...The holy city of Cholula can't afford to delay it! Otherwise, we go find the high priest?"
"Huh? Weezy, you idiot!"
Elder Kuio's eyes widened, he raised his hand and hit Weiqi on the face, knocking him unconscious.
"We just don't do anything and can't go to the high priest! That's asking for death! But we have to..."
"...Yes, I was stupid!"
Weiqi pursed his lips and bowed his head respectfully to admit his mistake.
"...Then, what should we do now?"
"what to do..."
Elder Kuio gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and finally made a decision.
"Since Ugel's path is dead, for now, only the last person is left!"
"Huh? There's another person."
Weezy was a little surprised.
"Elder Quaio, who is he?"
"Haha, who is he?"
Elder Kuio chuckled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice.
"A person who also looks at divine power and wants divine power!..."
In the mansion of the priests and elders, Sipili lowered his head and moved forward in silence. Along the way are precious flowers, fragrant redwoods, and paved sidewalks. The houses on both sides of the road are filled with exquisite stone and jade carvings, as well as shining gold and silverware. They are simply rich.
Sipili's expression remained unchanged, he was already used to this. No matter how gorgeous, prosperous and attractive it is, it is all the wealth of a big man and has nothing to do with a little man like him.
Soon, the little man came to the big man, stood respectfully with his head bowed, and waited with a smile on his face.
"Hey! These days are so torturous!..."
The slightly fat Ugel was lying on a cotton blanket, opening the priest's robe, with a frown on his face.
Two beautiful girls were fanning him slowly with large palm leaves. On the red wooden board on his left side, there were exquisite desserts and dried fruits, and in the jade furnace on his right side, expensive sacred smoke was burning. After a while, Wugel took a long breath, took a breath of relaxing smoke, and asked casually.
"Have you sent away the two people who came from Cholula?"
"Dear priests and elders, they all left wisely."
Sipili saluted respectfully. He quietly touched the turquoise in his sleeve, his expression unchanged.
"Well, just leave, just leave! It's already this time, how can I care about Cholula's life and death!"
Wugel stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of dried fruit, threw it into his mouth, and tasted it, but it was sour and bitter.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Sipili frowned and quickly lowered his head. As soon as he looked at the expressions of the priests and elders, he knew that anger was just around the corner.
as expected. After a while, Ugel became furious, pointed at the pomace on the ground, and cursed angrily.
"You sour and bitter fruit dregs, you don't have any taste at all. Let's see who the idiot comes to eat you!... Huh?"
Wugel was cursing when he suddenly stopped talking. His face suddenly showed joy again, and he couldn't help but squat down, pick up the pulp in his hand, and caress it.
"No, no! I wrongly blamed you! The pomace is good, the pomace is good! No one eats the pomace, there is still time to study! ...Haha!"
Hearing these words, Sipili's eyelids jumped and he wished he could block his ears and become a real deaf person. At this moment, he was extremely pious and prayed loudly in his heart.
"...O blazing sun, may you leave as soon as possible! O immortal sunset, please don't delay any longer!...The Lord God bless you!"
