The great elder closed his eyes again, and everyone else also left. The third elder glanced at the great elder who had closed his eyes to rest. His eyes were full of unwillingness. What the great elder said just now was directed at him. He was the one who originally A descendant of the royal family of the King of Shu, he was only four years old at the time. He watched the black dragon flag rising in the Palace of the King of Shu. His mother and father were killed on the spot by the man in black armor. In the Palace of the King of Shu The fire turned into a seed of hatred buried in his heart.
Under the desperate protection of his personal guards, he escaped from the secret passage of the Shu palace. His confidants sent him and some royal compatriots to the Shu Mountain to seek the protection of Yu Yuan. Yu Yuan took them in because of his old relationship with the Shu royal family. , but they were prohibited from participating in the restoration of the country. But whenever he wanted to let go of his hatred, the fire and screams in the Shu Palace kept him awake all night. He could not forget what his father said to him, from The Shu royal family swears that the people of Shu and their descendants will never become the people of Qin.
The hatred in the third elder's eyes burned like a flame. Seeing that there was no one behind him, he walked into a dense forest.
There was already a masked man waiting for him in the dense forest. When he saw the third elder coming, he saluted and said
"Sir, there is news from down the mountain. The King of Qin State is quite dissatisfied with Qu Yi, the governor of Shu County. Chen Shu wants to win over Qu Yi to serve our important affairs."
"Let Chen Shu try it. Is there any news from the south?" said the third elder. The people in front of them were the descendants of the Imperial Guard who escorted them to Shushan. They did not leave but took root in Shushan and continued to develop. With his own power, he secretly contacts all parties in the hope that one day he will be able to restore his country.
"News has come from the south. They are willing to support us in restoring our country, and have promised us to send troops to Shu to help us contain and resist Qin after our rebellion, but they need us to provide them with a large amount of food and grass in the future." The imperial guard said.
"Food and grass? Yes, but they must help us annex Ba County. The greatest wish of our Shu royal family is to annex Ba County. And with Ba County, we also have enough strength to compete with Qin. The same We can provide food and money to help them," said the third elder. Bashu is rich in assets, the land is fertile, the food is abundant every year, and there are a large number of merchants. Money and food are things that Bashu has no shortage of.
"They also said that they would send someone to help us. This is the letter sent by Chen Shu." The guard handed the letter to the third elder.
The third elder opened the letter, which was written in ancient Shu characters. Seeing these words, the third elder felt a sense of nostalgia, as if the shadow of his homeland appeared in front of him. After reading the letter, the third elder fell into deep thought.
"If it is true as the letter said, this person is a good helper. For safety reasons, after arriving in Chengdu, he sent someone to pick him up at the village in the mountains. How is the matter going?" asked the third elder, who was at the center of the incident. However, in order to get the support of Yu Yuan's guards, Chen Shu and the imperial guards were responsible for handling matters at the foot of the mountain. He was responsible for finding people who also had the seeds of revenge among Yu Yuan's guards. Compared with the army, Yu Yuan's guards were all the best among the best. , hundreds of Yu Yuan guards can fight against several times the number of soldiers, and getting a large number of Yu Yuan guards is equivalent to having an elite army.
"Some families have agreed that after we start an uprising, they will send their own guards to start an uprising inside Chengdu City and cooperate with us internally and externally," the imperial guard said.
"Try to contact more people. After the recovery of Shu, I will not be stingy with their rewards. What about the Ba tribe?" the third elder continued to ask.
"They also agreed to us. They said that the premise of the alliance is to help them kill Ba Qing and let them take control of the Ba Qing Chamber of Commerce. Then they will start an uprising in Ba County and regain the Ba Kingdom." The imperial guard said.
"The Ba people are so short-sighted. They originally wanted to let them live for a while. After Shu County was captured, they sent a large army to enter Ba quickly. After capturing Ba County." The third elder clenched the letter in his hand, with murderous intent in his eyes. it goes without saying.
"No!" the guard said.
"Go down and make arrangements so that Chen Shu can be more honest these days. Without us, the Chen family is nothing." The third elder said.
"promise!"
The guard stood up and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. After disappearing from sight, the third elder walked towards the village. After walking out of the dense forest, the murderous intent in the eyes of the third elder immediately dissipated, and he returned to his kind but still kind look. The majestic elder.
On the way, the third elder met many people from the Shilan tribe. They all greeted the third elder enthusiastically, and he would respond enthusiastically. He would also help people in need when he met on the way. When he was about to return to his home When they arrived, the fifth elder hurriedly ran from the front.
"Lao Wu, what's wrong? Are you so panicked?" asked the third elder.
"Third brother, something happened. Xiao Yu and his three children went down the mountain early. They had been gone for more than half a day when I went to inform them that the descent was cancelled." The fifth elder said breathlessly, "I have to tell the first elder now. "
"Go quickly, I will inform the people first and prepare people to go down the mountain to bring them back. Xiaoyu is the princess of Shushan, and she is also the saint of Yuyuan. Nothing can happen." The third elder's pupils suddenly tightened and he said with a nervous look on his face.
Every generation of the Shilan tribe will select a girl who upholds the destiny and enshrines her as the Saint of Yuyuan. The Saint will shoulder the important task of guarding Yuyuan. After the Saint comes of age, the Saint will take over the entire Yuyuan guard. The previous generation The saint died in the battle when Donghuang Taiyi invaded. For the first time in Yu Yuan, the saint died in battle before the new saint had grown up. The inheritance of the saint needs Xiao Yu to inherit and guard Yu. Yuan, so Xiao Yu is the guardian of the entire Yu Yuan and the future of the Shilan clan, and nothing can happen to him.
"I'll go right away. Third brother, you gather the people first." The fifth elder continued running towards the Fuso Sacred Tree.
Looking at the back of the fifth elder, a trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the third elder. Although he had attracted many Yuyuan guards and Shilan tribe members, these people were far from enough to withstand Qin's attack. , now he has an excellent opportunity to bring the entire Yuyuan Guard and Shilan Clan to his side. He can even use this opportunity to win over other tribes and sects in Shu Mountain.
The Shu Mountains are endless. In addition to the Shilan tribe and the Yu Yuan guards, there are also many hidden tribes and sects. These people are all powerful tribes.
The third elder turned around to summon the men. The summoning bell for Yu Yuan's guards rang, and the entire Shilan clan's Yu Yuan guards gathered under the Fuso Sacred Tree.
At this time, a girl and two boys were looking around curiously in the city of Chengdu. They were the people from the Shilan tribe who came down the mountain in advance. The girl was the princess of Shushan, Xiao Yu, and the two boys were her guards. It was the first time for Yu Qiu and Yu Fu to go down the mountain. They were extremely curious about everything in Chengdu. Yu Qiu and Yu Fu carried some furs on their backs.
Looking at Xiao Yu and Yu Fu who were fascinated by the city of Chengdu, Yu Qiu, who was two years older, pulled the two of them, and with their puzzled expressions, he took them to the roadside and said
"I remember the fifth elder said that after we come down from the mountain, we need to send these furs to the Ba'an Chamber of Commerce and find an uncle named Ba Qi. He will buy our furs and give us the things we need and some money."
"Where is the Bashi Chamber of Commerce?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"I don't know. Originally, the fifth elder would come with us and lead us to find the way." Ba Qiu looked at Xiao Yu speechlessly and said. Originally, they had packed the goods and were ready to wait for the fifth elder, but Xiao Yu couldn't wait any longer. , he didn’t want to leave early, but Xiao Yu and Yu Fu rode the Yu Yuan mythical beast Black Panther directly down the mountain, so he had no choice but to follow.
"Hehe, I specially got the map from the fifth elder before I left." Yu Fu rubbed his nose and said proudly. He was fully prepared to go down the mountain in advance and took out the map from his arms.
Yu Fu opened the map proudly, but looking at the simple map with only a black line and a few squares, the three of them were speechless for a while.
"The fifth elder's painting ability is really bad." Xiao Yu said, sticking out his tongue.
"I'd better ask a passerby. The Ba's Chamber of Commerce is a famous chamber of commerce in Bashu. Someone should know their location." Yu Qiu said helplessly. As expected, it still depends on himself.
Yu Qiu took the two of them to find passers-by and asked about the location of the Ba Shi Chamber of Commerce. After arriving at the Ba Shi Chamber of Commerce, the guard saw the three people and did not chase them away because they were children. Instead, he asked them who they were looking for. Ba Shi Chamber of Commerce The Bashi Chamber of Commerce has a rule that visitors are welcome and no one can be turned away. This is why many people are willing to trade with the Bashi Chamber of Commerce.
"We are here to see shopkeeper Ba Qi." Yu Qiu said to the guard.
The guard looked at the furs they were carrying on their backs, and immediately guessed their identities. He thought of the instructions given to him by shopkeeper Ba Qi, saying that he would have several guests coming today with furs, food, medicinal materials and so on.
"Come with me. Shopkeeper Ba Qi has ordered that when you come, he will take you directly to his shop." The guard said. There are many shopkeepers in Ba's Chamber of Commerce, and each shopkeeper has his own shop, and Ba Qi's The store is the largest store of the Bashi Chamber of Commerce in Chengdu. It has all kinds of goods, and they are all of the best quality.
The three of them followed the guard to Ba Qi's shop. Ba Qi was now introducing his goods to customers. Yu Qiu, Yu Fu and Xiao Yu were stunned when they entered the shop.
"They are so beautiful." Xiao Yu said looking at Yan Lingji, Yan Fei and Shao Siming who were choosing clothes.
Yan Lingji and Yan Fei were looking at a piece of clothing made of fine silk. Shao Siming stood aside and did not choose it. Obviously she was not interested in it. In her hand was a wooden skewer of candied haws.
Today's is all done. I'll try to write tomorrow's. I've had a headache today. I don't know what caused it. Taking medicine may not make it better. I'll check it out tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the hospital.
