The enemy's traces were quickly revealed. It should be said that they did not cover their tracks at all. As a former thief and spy, Hualin could easily see that their march still followed the old laws of the Yi people: they would try their best to choose Advancing in dense forests, they will definitely choose the former between steep tree-covered slopes and bare plains. This is what makes them different from the army outside the mountains. It is also the experience they have gained from countless barbarian civil wars in using their strengths and avoiding weaknesses. . The Yi people who live in the deep mountains are all good hunters and expert mountain climbers, so anyone who is familiar with the Yi people will try to find cover for themselves when they are enemies with the Yi people, so as not to be shot before they meet the opponent. On the contrary, their armor is obviously not as good as the army outside the mountain. Most of the Yi people have no armor at all. Not one of the three people may have an iron helmet, and the shields are only wooden. These make them You will be at a disadvantage when facing a powerful formation on flat ground without cover.
Every time Hualin took another step into the depths of Yishan, he understood more and more deeply what happened in the Yudai Kingdom. It was as vast as the endless Yishan. No native Yishan could tell clearly where its edges would be. Where, and for reasons they can't explain, anyone who walks in Yishan for three days will understand. Yishan is far from the ridiculous small slopes around Jiming Village - there are really peaks in Yishan. , the cliffs are connected to the mountains, the high places are covered with clouds and fog, the low places are turbulent, there are towering old trees everywhere, winding old vines, scars and thorns, it is very difficult to walk, the peaks and valleys are filled with the roar of wolves and tigers, echoing It's endless, which makes people feel horrified. It's no wonder that Baiyan Kingdom's Immortal Family easily defeated the Jade Belt Yi people that day, but then gave up the pursuit easily - the miasma was certainly a direct reason, and the reason why they didn't pursue them was also because of Yishan. In the vastness, thousands of Yi people entered the mountains, just like leaves being swept into the ocean. Who has the interest to catch them one by one!
Then, Yishan, which protected the surviving Yi people, strangled them by the throat. When they took a breath from the initial disaster and began to have children, they found that the land here was far less abundant than the old site of Yudai Country. , once the population increases slightly, there will be no fields nearby. If you want to increase, you have to climb a few mountains to go deeper into the mountains, or go back and fight to the death with the garrison left by Baiyan Kingdom.
Obviously, the remaining power of the Baiyan Kingdom's Immortal Family was still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Yi people at that time. They were neither willing to turn around and confront the Baiyan Kingdom's Immortal Family, nor were they willing to give up the nearby mature soil and go deeper into the mountains when it was their turn. They went to fight for their lives against poisonous insects and beasts, but the Xian family did not pursue them. The population of the Yi people increased day by day, and the problem they were unwilling to face had to be faced one day.
The civil war thus entered the history of the Yi people. Weak families had to flee far away to avoid being kidnapped as slaves. And when they just took root in the mountains, powerful families chased them. But the powerful families cannot compare with those of the Yudai Kingdom. Now the habitable lands are far apart. If they want to occupy all the land, they must live in scattered places. Due to the isolation of high mountains and mountains, they have little care for each other. , and soon began to split again.
If a powerful immortal family built a passage in the mountains, things might have changed, but the Yi people did not. They were unable to revive the "Jade Belt Kingdom", and even the nobles were annihilated. The largest leader known to the Yi people in the mountains was only "Toasts" are different from the Yudai Yi nobles in the past. Chieftains are just the leaders of warriors. They do not have the power to build large palaces and altars. They know almost nothing about history and sacrifices. They are only interested in robbing nearby areas. The slaves and livestock of the barbarians.
This depravity ultimately resulted in a ridiculous result, that is, they no longer remembered the disasters caused by the Hundred Eyes Kingdom, and regarded the mountains outside as another place to capture slaves. Therefore, the war called by the high priest gained the support of so many barbarians. Full support, they are not out for revenge, it is ridiculous, they do not remember the hatred. They set off with the ropes to tie up the slaves, fully expecting that they would only face more people from outside the mountains who could be captured as slaves, and the Yi people who stayed did not think about the anger of the Xian family.
"If my neighbor participated in the war called by the high priest and did not come back, wouldn't I be able to take the opportunity to plunder his slaves and livestock?" This is what they thought and did.
Those "preemptive moves" that Hualin saw were all done by Yi people with such clever ideas.
After finally catching them, he also heard a plan from their mouths that made him somewhat dumbfounded - the chieftains were preparing to take advantage of the death of the high priest to seize power from the priests!
"You are obviously defeated, but you still suppress the priest?" Hua Lin couldn't believe it.
"The priests have never fought against the outsiders." The simple and simple logic of the Yi people severely defeated him. Well, as far as the Yi people's society of the jungle is concerned, once the priests are recognized as weak, what awaits them There is only devouring. After all, it is no longer the time when the Yi people fled into the Yi Mountains hastily. They now have cultivated fields, ready-made houses, and slaves that can be driven and sold for money. The wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains are no longer a threat to the Yi people warriors. Not much anymore, so the priests are naturally considered to be of little use.
It seemed that his decision to leave Ujida in Shuanghe County might have allowed the chieftain's daughter to escape a difficult decision.
