Zhiyasi, the fourth general under the Qing'an throne of the Qingshi family, was holding an arm and chewing on the case. The peeled meat was tender, juicy and full of bone marrow. He ate it happily and shouted: "Bring me another one!"
The armored guard beside him walked to a corner of the tent with his sword in hand. There was a man curled up there, who had lost one of his left arms, but because the arm was cut off by a Rakshasa with a flaming knife, he didn't lose much blood. However, two thin iron ropes have been pierced through his Pipa bones, which obviously seals his spiritual power. Because he couldn't use his kung fu to adjust his injuries or close his senses to relieve the pain, he had already fainted from the pain.
At this time, a Rakshasa standing in the other corner of the tent said: "Slow down."
Zhiyasi threw the remaining severed hand on the table and cursed: "You bastard who was skinned and stabbed a thousand times, what do you want to say? By eating meat, which of your taboos does this general violate?" "
Unlike Zhiyas and the Rakshasa serving in the tent, this Rakshasa did not wear heavy armor, but wore leather armor and a black cloak. Some of the horns on his head were also sawed off, leaving only a small half. Being scolded by the fourth general who commanded an army of 10,000, he did not panic, but said slowly: "It is not a big deal for the general to eat this meat, but don't forget that Xiao Letian once said that this trip south is not for the general. They killed all the people from the six countries in order to rule them all. There were originally more than ten thousand people in the camp, and many of them were available. But the general and his subordinates had eaten hundreds of them in the past month, and they were killed again during the riots in the past few days. Three thousand are lost. Considering that the wind and snow will continue for several months, the remaining six or seven thousand will not survive much."
He sighed again and said: "Besides, while the general is eating, the 300,000 spirit beasts can only watch. This is not a good thing. Our troops have clashed with them several times these days, and several of them were caused by Those people’s.”
Zhiya said: "Bitch, do you think I should eat it or shouldn't eat it?"
The Rakshasa said: "I advise the general to keep some alive. If Xiaole Tian knew that he had taken 10,000 people from the Sui Kingdom, but all of them were eaten and died in the end, he must be blamed on King Qing'an. Come on. When the king is angry, the general will also have a hard time."
Zhiyasi was stunned for a moment and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. Well, today you are not a bitch who will be skinned and stabbed a thousand times. However, it is not called eating, so what should we do with these people? The overpass has already been It was frozen to death, and Xishan in the south is also dead. The king only asked me to stay here first - then should I wait here for a few months?"
The Rakshasa said: "The general's worries are not unreasonable. There are too many people in the four cellars in the east, west, north and south, and those people seemed to be energetic again yesterday and today, and they looked restless again. I think, It’s time to select those who know skills and techniques, keep only a few thousand, and make the rest into meat.”
"We have been trapped here for more than a month, and those spiritual beasts are getting restless. I went to the west yesterday and saw that King Anle in their camp seemed very unhappy. He said that he wanted to go east and escape from Wuliang City. We went to the Sui Dynasty to avenge King Xishan. So we made meat and sent some to Xiying. Except for King Anle, there were only a few thousand third-level and second-level spiritual beasts in total, which was enough for them to share. Food.”
After hearing what he said, Zhiyasi couldn't help but raise his hand and grab a pair of his thick black horns, shook his head and said: "Don't say any more weird words. Why should I give away the meat I made?" Go give it to them? They want meat and should have come to get it long ago. Since they don’t come to get it, they just don’t dare to get it. Since they don’t dare to get it, why are they unhappy like you said? King Qing’an has more human slaves than me. It’s more, and he can support one person every month. Since I’m no match for him, am I unhappy again?”
The Rakshasa sighed and said: "Have you forgotten what I told you? Spiritual beasts have become demon spirits, and their temperaments are more similar to humans. The general can try to treat them as humans."
Zhiya said: "Bah! I feel sick just thinking about it!"
The tent they were speaking in was as big as a large hall. The so-called "camps" among the armies of the Six Nations were made of wood as beams and cooked cowhide covered with canvas and linoleum. However, the Rakshasa's tent is made of iron beams supporting iron plates, and then covered with thick animal skins, just like a house.
But because Zhigas spoke very loudly, he could still hear clearly even if he stood outside the tent, separated by a layer of iron plates, several layers of furs, and thick snow.
——Li Boxen pretended to be doing nothing at this time, sitting cross-legged and leaning against the outer wall of the camp, looking into the distance and listening.
He said to Xu Cheng with his spiritual mind: "This Yasi doesn't sound like it understands demon spirits. What's going on?"
Xu Chengdao: "This is nothing strange, right? For example, Yu Ren's former royal family, the Bai family, was in your Sui Kingdom. The Yu Ren people around Che Beigong were actually changed from the surname Bai. Do you know this?"
Li Boxen said: "I know."
Xu Chengdao: "That's because you are in Wuliang City. But do you know that if the dragon people want to pass on the family line, then when they... get pregnant or something, they must both turn into dragons?"
Li Boxen said: "I know it too."
Xu Cheng was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know if you know what you can show off with such obscene things."
He added: "Anyway, before the Sword God attained enlightenment, there was no talk of the Demonic Kingdom. At that time, Rakshasa and Sumeru all lived with people, and the north was not as cold as it is now. It is said that at that time, the Fish Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom went to The south is not yet the sea."
"But at that time, the monsters were already in the Northern Plains. Later, when Netherworld separated the Six Kingdoms and the Demon Kingdom, Rakshasa and Xumi were driven to the north. When they went there, they killed the monsters first. Those who go further north - that is to say, at least seven thousand years ago, they were enemies. It gets colder in the north, and the monsters have to eat, so they have to rely on Sumeru. But Sumeru is also afraid of the cold. , then you have to rely on Rakshasa to burn mountains to keep warm - so Rakshasa is the royal family of the Demon Kingdom later on. But in fact, among the three demon spirits, Sumeru, and Rakshasa, the most stupid one is Rakshasa. "
Li Bochen thought for a while, sighed and said: "Actually, I also know this. I know what you want to say - even now, monsters and Rakshasa do not live together. This is the first time I have seen this Zhiyasi recently. Demon spirits, I'm not surprised either. What I'm surprised about is - the Demonic Kingdom's current ruler is the same as the Emperor Gao, and the kings of each Rakshasa family, such as King Qing'an to whom this Rakshasa belongs, are like the Six Kingdoms The king of the country. This Yasi is the fourth general under the throne of Qing'an. If he is in Sui or Li, he is like the general of Zhuguo among the four prefectures of East, West, South and North. It is the highest rank for a military man. Such a military General, it’s really unreasonable that you don’t know your allies well, whether allies or slaves, the royal family.”
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Tell me more."
He was a little angry just now, but now he became serious again. Li Bochen didn't know what he said that made him be like this, but he still said: "We have seen what Noya is like. She understands Li Guohua. , in the Bai family and even the entire Rakshasa clan, they must belong to the upper class. Upper class people like her and Zhigas hardly understand what cooperation is, which means that it is difficult for the entire Rakshasa clan to rely solely on We carry out efficient production and construction ourselves.”
"But look at the armor these Rakshasas wear." When Li Bochen said this, a male Rakshasa was walking past in front of him - he was wearing shiny iron armor all over his body, from the neck down to the insteps, almost everything was tightly wrapped Yes, he still has a helmet on his back. The main armor of the Six Kingdoms is Zhajia, and the armor pieces are smaller. However, Rakshasa's armor plates are large and thick, and fit better. Because it was too heavy, the armor pieces were not tied up with leather ropes, but were fastened with iron hinges and iron buckles. Such a suit weighs at least a hundred pounds, but it is not difficult for the Rakshasa to walk in it.
"Everyone has such armor, which requires a very mature and complete manufacturing system. But as far as we know about the Rakshasa, their social structure and governance model absolutely cannot accomplish this. So I am curious, how do they do it? Or, did someone help them do it - such as another Rakshasa who was talking inside. He is obviously more human."
Xu Chengdao: "Did you really grow up in the countryside of the Sui Kingdom and then join the army?"
Li Bochen frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"Because what you are talking about is the art of the emperor." Xu Cheng stared and said, "Who taught you these? I have never heard anyone speak so skillfully - not even the Zhou Mu of Qingzhou can say this. .”
Li Bochen was also stunned for a moment, and then understood. What he said may indeed sound a bit incredible in Xucheng. But in fact, it is the same thing as what he thought when he first became enlightened in the manor outside Sanguan City - where he came from, the knowledge and opinions that people were accustomed to have, in this era, people It seems indeed unimaginable.
However, this is difficult to explain. He smiled faintly and said: "It's nothing. When I used the Demon Transformation Technique to transform into a second-level monster, my mind was so muddled that it was almost difficult to remember anything. This shows that there is something wrong with the intelligence of the second-level monster itself. . But now using the same method to become a Rakshasa, his thinking is not affected. This shows that Rakshasa, like people, has no innate intellectual defects. The reason why he is like this now is due to the role of nurture—— Then we can only think about this from the perspective of social form and governance model.”
Sure enough, when he mentioned the previous incarnation of a monster, Xu Cheng immediately tried to change the subject and said, "Listen, Zhiyasi has been persuaded. It seems that they are going to take action tomorrow - have you figured out how to kill him?"
"It's not difficult for me to kill such a foolhardy thing." Li Bochen stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "The difficult thing is what to do after killing him - he must have the incarnation of the devil in him, and he must be very strong. .Let’s see how Noah handles things first.”
