Seeing the determination flashing in the great elder's eyes, a smile appeared on Ziyou's face.
"What does the State of Qin need from Yu Yuan?" the elder asked in a deep voice. Zi You told him that Xiao Yu and the others were assassinated, and that he was willing to leave a glimmer of hope for Yu Yuan before. He would not believe it if there was no price.
The Yuyuan guards and the Shilan tribe relied on the Shushan natural barrier and never admitted that they were Qin people. Every generation of Shu County governors saw that they were honest and did not go into details. After all, if there were no Baijia in the Shushan natural barrier and the mountain protection formation, With the help of experts, they relied solely on the power of the army, and other than setting siege, they only had to set fire to the mountain. However, the cost of these two methods was too high, so as long as they were in peace, no one would come to trouble them.
But now they are facing Zi You, a person with high authority and a very high status among hundreds of families. This is a person who is capable enough to destroy Yu Yuan's guards, but such a person gives them a chance of survival. , or when it is confirmed that Yu Yuan's guards are colluding with bandits, they don't have to pay anything, which will make the great elder uneasy.
"What I said is very simple. Only the people of Great Qin will not collude with bandits." Ziyou said calmly. Yu Yuan's guards have been entrenched in Shushan for many years, and they have always occupied the mountain as king. Ziyou doesn't like this kind of Shushan, so Yu Yuan The guards of Yuan must die or surrender.
The great elder looked at Ziyou with confusion in his eyes.
"I don't know what Yu Yuan thinks? Do you think that since you are a descendant of Yu Shun, the Qin State is not worthy of your submission? Or maybe you are used to standing at the head of the Shu royal family and enjoying a transcendent status, so Can't you accept that Qin controls your life and death?" Ziyou said.
The Great Elder still did not speak. The Yu Yuan guards initially helped the Shu royal family to rebel. There was indeed a reason for this. The Yu Yuan guards had always had a transcendent status in Shu. Once this status was threatened, they would naturally try their best to resist.
"It's ridiculous. If you want to enjoy a transcendent status, don't interfere in Yamashita's affairs. If you can't control your hands, don't blame the sharpness of the sword. Status is never given by others, but is determined by your own force. Dignity is only above the edge of the sword. , the truth is only within the range of the crossbow.
Surrendering to the Qin State will not bring any harm to Yu Yuan, but it will have great benefits. Compared with the Qin State, the strength of Yu Yuan's guards is just an ant facing an elephant. Yu Yuan is still yours, and the Qin State will not send anyone. Just take care of it. If there is a problem with the seal, I will help you, so whether you agree or not depends on your choice.
I will only give you seven days. Whether Yu Yuan will be destroyed or survive will depend on the sincerity of Yu Yuan's guards after seven days. "
After saying that, Ziyou was not interested in talking to the great elder anymore. He took the three-legged golden crow on his shoulders and walked down the mountain, leaving the great elder standing alone under the tree thinking about what Ziyou just said. The great elder looked at The three-legged golden crow on Ziyou's shoulder just stretched out his hand to say something, but Ziyou's figure had already disappeared into the woods.
Not seeing the Great Elder chasing after him, Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief and released the inner force that trapped the three-legged Golden Crow. In line with the principle that thieves should not cough up, and that a gentleman never returns empty-handed, if he doesn't bring something with him After going back, Ziyou felt sorry for the great elder for making such a hard trip.
"Little guy, don't think about running away. I can feel that the power in your body is draining. Now you need the power of others to supplement your own power, right?" Ziyou looked at the three-legged Golden Crow and said, just now he used Zhan Zhan Lu has tested the Three-legged Golden Crow. Although it is alive at this time, the power in its body is constantly dissipating, as if something is sucking it away.
Regarding the speculation about this phenomenon, Ziyou thinks that it should be the influence of the original Jue Tian Di Tong. Except for a few places where these mythical beasts can continue to survive, in other places they will either remain asleep or will eventually disappear due to the loss of power. .
The internal power was once again condensed in Ziyou's palm. "Ten Wings" was born out of the "Book of Changes". The internal power that Ziyou cultivated was an extremely pure power, and it was also the power closest to the power of heaven and earth. Through his internal power and the thin world of heaven and earth, The zhenqi produced by the fusion of power can exactly meet the needs of the three-legged golden crow to a certain extent.
Although Ziyou's internal strength is very greedy, but looking at Ziyou's malicious smile, the Three-legged Golden Crow knew that once he jumped into Ziyou's palm, he would never be able to stand up again in this life. Thinking of the majestic Three-legged Golden Crow, The top group of mythical beasts in ancient times were highly worshiped in Shushan. Even if it starved to death or died outside, it would not be able to accept a little bit of Ziyou's Qi. It must stick to its pride as a mythical beast.
Seeing that there was no reaction from the Three-legged Golden Crow, Ziyou increased the internal force in his palm, and more mellow power was condensed in his hand. The Three-legged Golden Crow immediately jumped into Ziyou's hand without hesitation, proud? Being able to survive is the greatest pride!
Looking at the appearance of the three-legged golden crow, Ziyou sighed in his heart, as expected, no one can skip the truth theorem.
When Ziyou returned to the post house, Xiao Yu and the others were eating, while Yan Lingji, Shao Siming and Yan Fei were sitting beside them. When they saw Zi You coming back, Xiao Yu and the others immediately showed frightened expressions. , but after seeing the three-legged golden crow on Ziyou's shoulder, the three of them immediately stood up and shouted
"Three-legged Golden Crow!?"
Yan Lingji didn't feel anything, but Concubine Yan and Shao Siming were different. The three-legged golden crow was also a mythical beast in the legend of the Yin Yang family. Seeing everyone acting like they had never seen the world, Zi You sat across from them.
"It's nothing. I went out just now and this little guy has been following me. I brought him back because I couldn't help it." Ziyou put the three-legged Golden Crow on the table and said.
After the Three-legged Golden Crow heard Ziyou's words, it glanced at Ziyou with its golden eyes, as if rolling its eyes. If Ziyou hadn't grabbed it with its inner strength just now, it would have gone back to sleep. It felt the Three-legged Golden Crow With disdain, Ziyou slapped Zhan Lu on the table.
"Sorry, I used a little force." Ziyou seemed to be talking to others, but his eyes were always on the three-legged golden crow.
Feeling the threat from Ziyou, the Three-Legged Golden Crow immediately put away his arrogance, flew to Ziyou's shoulder as if to please, and rubbed Ziyou's face affectionately with his head. Everyone else was speechless when they saw this scene. Standing still, looking at the flattering three-legged golden crow, Xiao Yu and the others felt that their world view was about to collapse. How could their guardian beast of Yu Yuan look like a flattering villain?
"Did you go out just now because of this little guy?" Yan Lingji asked.
"This little guy was an accident. I went out to find someone." Ziyou put the three-legged Golden Crow on the table.
Xiao Yu and the others were very devoted to the Three-Legged Golden Crow. Shao Siming was just surprised, but Concubine Yan's eyes were full of interest. Her position in the Yin Yang family was Dong Jun, and Dong Jun was the legendary sun god. Donghuang Taiyi is also a Three-legged Golden Crow, and most of the techniques she practices are related to the Three-legged Golden Crow, just like her Longyouhunxi is a Three-legged Golden Crow, and now she sees the real Three-legged Golden Crow , Concubine Yan felt that her skills might be improved to a higher level.
"If you're interested, just keep it for fun first, don't keep it to death." Ziyou said casually.
The Three-Legged Golden Crow glanced at Ziyou, thinking that its majestic mythical beast, the belief of Yu Yuan in Shushan, was now given away casually like a plaything. It also had a temper, and it would go on strike if there was no meal tonight.
Seeing the request of the Three-legged Golden Crow, Ziyou condensed a light blue ball of zhenqi in his hand and bounced it towards the Three-legged Golden Crow. After the Three-legged Golden Crow swallowed the ball, it flapped its wings and flew towards Concubine Yan. Looking at this scene on Xiao Yu's shoulders, the three of them were speechless.
"You should stay in the post house during this period. There are many people outside who are still chasing you." Ziyou said, looking at the three little ones.
"Why did they kill Xiao Yu? They are always very nice to us." Yu Qiu looked at Ziyou in confusion and asked.
Looking at the three innocent children, Ziyou could only sigh helplessly and explain.
"Some things have no reason. Because you died in Chengdu, then someone will incite the entire Yuyuan Guard to go down the mountain to avenge you, and use the power of the Yuyuan Guard and the Shilan Clan to achieve their own ambitions."
Xiao Yu and Yu Fu didn't understand much, but the older Yu Qiu understood Zi You's words, but his eyes were still full of disbelief, as if he couldn't accept this.
"You are still young, you will understand these things later." Ziyou shook his head and said.
"Just now Governor Qu sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that rumors of suppressing bandits in the city have become more and more popular recently. Various caravans and chambers of commerce came to him to inquire about this matter. Chen Shu also took the bait. These days, Qu The county guard sent various items, money and so on." Yan Lingji said.
"It seems it's time to close the net." Ziyou said with a smile.
There are many merchants in Shu County, and each of them is extremely rich. Ziyou has been staring at them for a long time. The Qin State needs too much money for its foreign wars. If the Korean dignitaries had not given Qin a blood, the Qin State would have The country's finances cannot support the pace of the country. Generally speaking, taxes are the foundation of a country's finances, but how much money is there? As the saying goes, whoever has money earns it, and there are many businessmen in Shu County who secretly support the Shu royal family and Shushan. Banditry, if they are not eradicated, it will be a shame for the wealth they have accumulated.
There is nothing wrong with merchants doing business to make profits, but the mistake is that they sometimes reach out across the border. After some merchants made money by doing business, they returned to their hometowns and began to buy and sell land in various ways. Although the Qin State was very strict about the purchase and sale of land, But there are also loopholes. The trend of land annexation has begun, and powerful families have been formed in some places. If we continue to indulge and let them become entrenched, it will not be so easy to deal with them.
"By the way, Qu Yi also said that Chen Shu seems to be impatient to leave the city to suppress the bandits. According to Qu Yi's investigation, the Chen family's caravan was robbed by bandits two days ago." Yan Lingji continued.
Ziyou was stunned for a moment, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"It's good to suppress bandits. The soldiers are charging into battle to suppress bandits. These wealthy businessmen have benefited. They have to show something, right?"
The rest will be at noon tomorrow. I just got home today and have some rest at night.
