The Three-Legged Golden Crow came to the Fuso Sacred Tree, and his human eyes looked at the Great Elder below. The Great Elder looked at the dark Shilan Clan land and nodded to the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
The three-legged golden crow fluttered its wings and flew towards the place where Ziyou was. The great elder glanced at the Shilan tribe again, and then his whole body turned into blue butterflies. As a breeze blew by, all The butterflies also scattered away.
Ziyou stood under the big tree and looked at the flying three-legged golden crow. He stretched out his palm. The palm was covered with internal energy. The three-legged golden crow fell into his palm. Ziyou looked at his hand with a sly smile in his eyes. The three-legged golden crow.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Ziyou looked at the Great Elder who walked out of the dense forest. The Great Elder was wearing the same clothes as Yu Chou, but there were more and more complex white symbols on the Elder's old face. The symbols in the corners of his eyes exuded... Faint blue light.
While Ziyou was looking at the great elder, the great elder was also observing Ziyou. Dressed in Confucian attire, the great elder confirmed Ziyou's identity. The inner power emanating from Ziyou's palms frightened him. After seeing Ziyou, With the Zhanlu sword on his waist, the great elder couldn't help but say
"Little sir, how did you get this sword?"
"Do you believe me when I say I picked up this sword while walking on the road?" Ziyou said, putting away the inner energy in his palm.
"I believe it." The great elder nodded and said. Famous swords have spirits, and they choose their masters to serve. Real famous swords actively choose their masters. Unless they are willing to serve others as masters, otherwise people who get them are just getting a comparative sword. A sharp sword, and the process of choosing the owner of a famous sword is quite strange. Even if Ziyou picked it up on the road, the great elder would believe it.
Ziyou was stunned. He didn't expect that anyone would believe such a nonsense reason. Seeing the great elder sincerely saying that he believed it, Ziyou was a little embarrassed to continue making up the story. He didn't pick up Zhanlu on the roadside. Picking up an artifact on the roadside when he went out had nothing to do with him. He found it in the room where a Confucian predecessor lived during his lifetime. At that time, he thought it was some kind of fire stick. After getting it and wiping it, he discovered that it was a famous fire stick. sword.
"I am a Confucian, Ziyou, who studied under Xunzi. He is now the king's master of the King of Qin, the president of the Great Qin Academy of Sciences, and the special envoy to Shu." Ziyou changed the topic.
Hearing Ziyou's self-introduction, the elder was a little surprised. Although he didn't know what the position of the dean of the Daqin Academy of Sciences was, the titles of disciple of Xunzi and master of the King of Qin were something that people would not dare to underestimate no matter where they were placed. Seeing Ziyou's young face, the last bit of contempt in the great elder's heart disappeared.
"I'm the Great Elder of the Yu Yuan Guard, the leader of the Shilan Clan in Shushan. I wonder why Mr. Young Master used my Yu Yuan secret technique to summon me to meet you?" the Great Elder said. He thought it was a descendant of the Sima family who wanted to summon me. , but unexpectedly a high-ranking person came, which made the elder a little at a loss. The fact that the Sima family could hand over the method of summoning him meant that the Sima family had surrendered to Ziyou. After thinking of the stone that he had deduced before, In the future of the Lan clan, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"The Great Elder lives deep in Yuyuan, Shu Mountain. He probably doesn't know anything about Shu County, right? Shu County is about to suppress bandits." Ziyou said calmly.
The great elder's heart sank. It was just as he had guessed. Although the Yuyuan Guards lived deep in Shu Mountain and could not leave, they also had people under the mountain to provide them with some information. People from the Shilan tribe would occasionally go down the mountain and come back after hearing the news. Let's talk about it, especially the widespread bandit suppression in Chengdu. There are inextricably linked between Yu Yuan of Shushan and the banditry in Shushan. Although he wanted to take Yu Yuan out, he was unable to do anything.
"I don't know what the connection is between the Yuyuan Shilan tribe and these bandits, but there are no bandits among my people in Daqin, and they will not have any connection with bandits. Those who report bandits can still receive rewards from the local government, but with Anyone who has connections with the bandits, or who knows about it and fails to report it, will be punished for the same crime. I wonder if the elder knows about this?" Ziyou looked at the elder indifferently and said, but the majesty on his body made the elder's breathing quicken. stand up.
The great elder looked at Ziyou with complicated expressions in his eyes. Ziyou's words were very clear. He gave Yu Yuan's guards and the Shilan tribe two paths. The first was to become subjects of the Qin State and hand over those who had connections with the bandits. The Qin State would let the rest go.
Second, they should be buried together. Seeing Ziyou's indifferent look, the great elder knew that he had to make a choice. Ziyou was different from Zhang Yi before. Zhang Yi knew the importance of Yu Yuan. In addition, the Qin State had just risen and did not have enough power to expand its territory. They also deal with Yu Yuan's affairs internally, so Yu Yuan's guards still have room for negotiation.
But Ziyou is different. As a disciple of Xunzi, the elder does not believe that Ziyou does not know the importance of Yu Yuan's guard, but Ziyou still gives him the choice of life or death, which shows that Ziyou does not care about Yu Yuan's seal. , in other words, Ziyou is confident that he can continue to seal Yu Yuan after his guards disappear.
"Little sir, the Shilan Clan thanks you for giving me a way out, but the Shilan Clan is complicated, so please give me some time." The elder said in a deep voice. It has been almost a hundred years since the Shu royal family integrated into the Shilan Clan. At that time, the two had long been integrated into one. He could not determine how many people in the Shilan tribe had contact with the Shushan bandits. Moreover, although these people participated, most of them were bewitched. He still hoped to save them. Get some people down.
"I will only give you seven days. After seven days, the army will leave the city to suppress the bandits. At that time, Yu Yuan of Shushan will not face me, but my army of Da Qin. As for whether he can negotiate in such a calm manner, it depends on Yu Yuan Are the guards able to withstand strong bows, crossbows and sharp swords like the armored gates of Wei?" Ziyou said, touching the three-legged golden crow on his shoulder.
The threat in Ziyou's words was self-evident, but the elder did not feel angry at all. Instead, he felt helpless in his heart. The whole world knew about Qin's battle to destroy South Korea. He also heard some news. When Qin destroyed Bashu, They have no power to fight back, and now that Qin has easily destroyed a South Korea that far surpasses Bashu, what ability do they have to resist?
"The Yuyuan guards are no longer pure. Some people have even forgotten their mission and instead joined the ranks of careerists. Such Yuyuan guards will cause disaster sooner or later. I hope you can make a wise choice. I gave Guard Yu Yuan a choice because of Guard Yu Yuan's mission." Ziyou paused here and continued.
"Just now, my subordinates rescued three children from the criminal elders guarded by Yu Yuan. Two boys and one girl. The girl is called Xiao Yu. She is very special. The power in her body is very powerful. She should be guarded by Yu Yuan. The main power of Yu Yuan’s seal, right?”
When he heard that Xiao Yu was attacked and that the attacker was Yu Chou, the great elder's pupils suddenly tightened and he said
"How can this be?"
"Nothing is impossible. I don't need to lie to you. People are here with me now. They are safe." Ziyou continued.
Looking at Ziyou's serious look, and then looking at Zhanlu in Ziyou's hand, the great elder chose to believe Ziyou's words, and Ziyou had no reason to lie to him. Thinking of this, the great elder only had one idea left in his mind. , the descendants of the Shu royal family in Yu Yuan's guard must be dealt with immediately.
