The craftsmen followed Qin Yun and soon arrived at a mass grave outside Beiyin City. Here, there are innocent Yue people who were slaughtered by Wu during the invasion, and the souls of unknown Yue soldiers are buried here.
In this era, many people did not even have names, making it even more difficult to confirm the identities of those who died in the war. After all, when the Yue Kingdom was about to fall, many people poured into the army.
They kept the hope of the Yue Kingdom with their blood and youth. Qin Yun stood in front of the hundred-foot-high Heroic Soul Monument and stopped to stare.
A priest from the Ministry of Rites of the State of Yue came forward and sang: "The souls are here to pay tribute to the heroic souls who sacrificed their lives to resist the invaders!"
"present!"
Following the priest's order, solemn vocal music sounded, drums were beaten and hammers were beaten, elephants were drawn with excitement, and everyone looked at Qin Yun with solemn expressions.
Qin Yun stepped forward and pulled down the curtain, only to see a white monument like a sword thrust upside down on the vast land, with a row of large characters engraved vertically on the monument.
"Monument to Heroes"
The ceremony officer continued: "Respect the heaven and the earth, respect the human soul, respect the heroic soul of Qin who traveled thousands of miles to bury his bones in a foreign land, and respect all the people who buried their bones here in battle!"
"The ceremony is over!"
Everyone looked away. Qin Yun stood on the high platform and successfully cast the stone. Hu Tutu and other craftsmen were surprised by the sudden appearance of the tall building.
Qin Yun glanced at the audience: "Everyone, I only want to thank you on behalf of the people of Qin and Yue. I promise you that the invaders will never let the invaders set foot on this monument!"
"I also hope that you will remember history, remember today, remember the present, and remember the souls of thousands of unknown heroes!"
"The soul is here to return, and we will win!"
"Must win!"
Everyone pulled their necks and shouted loudly. The sound shook the sky and spread across the vast land, as if to tell the departed heroes that the Yue Kingdom had not fallen and the homeland they guarded had not been destroyed.
…
In Beiyin City, the survivors were temporarily resettled, where Qin Yun received the craftsmen who had surrendered.
"Everyone, I have kept you waiting for a long time. What you just saw was the evil done by Wu Jun and Tingyulou! It is truly a blessing for the people of the world that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
He handed over the success and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. We are really ashamed that we actually helped these bastards make weapons. Who would have thought that they would not even spare the old, weak, women and children? They are really worse than beasts!"
Hu Tutu: "Those sons of bitches like Ting Yulou have the same virtues as those shameless people who came to recognize their home with dialect books and maps. King Qin, if you don't say anything else, as long as you give me a chance, I will definitely help you in the battle." Kill the enemy!"
Zhu Chenggong was afraid that Qin Yun would misunderstand, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Master Hu has such a temper, please forgive me."
Qin Yun smiled and shook his head: "It can be seen that Master Hu is a man of great temperament. May I ask which country in the Western Region he comes from?"
Hu Tutu: "You don't know even if you tell me. But don't worry, I am not Daxia's enemy, nor will I be your enemy. I traveled ten thousand miles eastward just to learn from my master."
Qin Yun became interested: "Then Master Hu comes from the Frankish country in the west? Can you tell us your story?"
Hu Tutu shook his head: "We haven't arrived yet. One thousand eight hundred miles to the west from the Hexi Corridor, there is a country called Dayue. After crossing Dayue and walking two thousand miles southwest, we can reach my hometown, formerly known as Gu Nanguo. But now It has long been occupied by a group of bandits. These people, claiming to be descendants of God, hold a scripture from an unknown number of years ago and say that the place where we have lived for generations was promised to them by God."
"At first, our king saw that it was not easy for them to travel, so he received them with good wine and food. Unexpectedly, more than 20 years ago, they sent people to assassinate the old king, and also supported the princes in the country to fight for power. Finally, after the princes fought, When he was desperate, he occupied the royal city in one fell swoop and enslaved the people of Gu Nan Kingdom."
Listening to this story, Qin Yun seemed to think of a certain rogue country in his previous life. Both of them used books to find people to ask for land.
Qin Yun shook his head: "Master Hu, how did you end up here?"
Hu Tutu: "I first took refuge in Dayue Kingdom, but Dayue was about to be destroyed by Sirius more than ten years ago. Later I went to Qi Kingdom, but the Qi people were xenophobic, and after being moved around, I was killed by Tingyu Lou Suo tricked me into coming here."
Zhu Chenggong added: "Master Hu is the chief forging master of Gu Nanguo. He has integrated Eastern and Western skills, and he has inherited the secrets of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. I am ashamed of myself."
Loulan country?
If Qin Yun remembered correctly, this country was destroyed by King Zhao Wu's troops a thousand years ago. It is said that at its peak, this country spanned the southwest territory of Daxia and had a head-on confrontation with the then Zhao Dynasty.
"The women of Loulan are very beautiful" This is the description of Loulan Kingdom left in the history books of Daxia.
However, Qin Yun had never heard that the ancient Loulan country also had secret techniques.
When Zhu Chenggong saw Qin Yun frowning, he immediately explained: "The Loulan Secret Technique and the Mohist Secret Technique come from the same lineage. At that time, Mo Ancestor was of Loulan bloodline."
Qin Yun nodded: "Master Hu, I wonder if you are willing to stay and serve Qinyue?"
Hu Tutu Weng said: "The people of our country are still in dire straits. I came east to find someone who can help me restore the country. If the King of Qin is willing to help me drive away the thieves of the country, I am willing to offer my loyalty to His Highness the King of Qin and even stay. This secret skill."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Although our Qin State has just been established, it still adheres to the national policy of not attacking us and not attacking others. I only listen to your words, so how can I send troops to help you wantonly? What's more, you Gu Nan Guo It's not even ten thousand but eight thousand miles away from here, and I can't help you."
"But if Master Hu is willing to stay, I know some Hu mercenaries and will give you weapons as gifts. Whether it can happen then depends on your own luck, Master Hu."
Hu Tutu frowned: "Where did the Hu mercenaries come from?"
Qin Yun smiled: "I funded a group of mercenaries last year, and their leader was the bodyguard of the Bai family's caravan, and his name was Wu Yingying..."
Hu Tutu was stunned for a moment, then interrupted Qin Yun: "Do you know His Highness the Prince?"
As soon as he said this, it was Qin Yun's turn to be surprised: "Wu Yingxiong is your prince of Gu Nan? Why has this kid never told me about this?"
Hu Tutu laughed: "I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Qin would be the behind-the-scenes supporter of what His Highness the Prince said!"
Hu Tutu then turned around and patted Cheng Cheng on the shoulder.
"Lao Zhu, I'm staying, you can do whatever you want!"
Although Zhu Chenggong was considered to be in good health, he couldn't resist the strength of this barbarian man's hand, and it suddenly felt like his left shoulder was about to be lifted off.
Cheng Cheng said resentfully: "Since we are old friends, why didn't Master Hu tell me earlier?"
Hu Tutu said carelessly: "I have told you that I don't know that person, but if King Qin can take the initiative to name Wu Yingxiong, there is a high probability that it is him."
Hu Tutu knelt on one knee and put his right hand on his chest: "I, Hu Tutu, swear allegiance to His Highness the King of Qin in the name of the God of the Desert!"
Qin Yun was stunned, what the hell, Hu Tutu?
