Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 467: The Rise of the Eldar
Chapter 467 The Rise of the Eldar
Shi Wuding estimated that after all, he would not be able to capture Lei Zhentang or Wangdaozhong before the opponent's troops surrounded them, and it would be difficult to even kill them quickly.
He made a prompt decision and evacuated quickly. Before leaving, he stared at Wang Daozhong with his sharp and fierce eyes, almost wanting to bite off a piece of his flesh.
Zhao Changhe is like the wind blowing in his face, and it is Lao Wang who takes the blame. You can bite him if you like. It has nothing to do with Zhao Changhe...
Lei Zhentang in front covered the wound where the sword energy was raging, and stepped forward with great pains: "Thank you, King..."
Before he finished speaking, "Wang Daozhong" struck out with another sword and penetrated his ribs on the other side fiercely: "Wang has obsessive-compulsive disorder, please make it more symmetrical for you. You're welcome."
While everyone in Heimiao was stunned, Wang Daozhong ran away from the other side of Shi Wuding.
Hei Miao soldiers and horses rushed to the front: "Chief, which way are you chasing? Chief, chief? Save the chief quickly!"
Zhao Changhe wanted to kill Lei Zhentang, but he was worried that he didn't know how to avenge the book of troubled times. Will he avenge Wang Daozhong or Zhao Changhe? Ordinarily, Suzaku Xuanwu is the registered vest, and so is Snow Owl Yingshuang. If he gives a fake name, he might be listed on the list under a false name... But in Wang Daozhong, he is a real person who is already on the list. How can this be counted? If Zhao Changhe was really reported, everything would be ruined.
After some hesitation, I could only injure but not kill. Anyway, Lei Zhentang, who was seriously injured, might not be able to cause much trouble...
That is to say, Lao Wang has offended everyone to the core, and hopes that he will never enter the Miao territory in this life.
…………
Hei Miao wants to rebel, but the leader is seriously injured before the victory is achieved. How the internal struggle for power is unknown to outsiders.
What can be seen on the surface is that the original agreement of the five tribes to "evict but not kill" the Xia people will not be implemented honestly at least within the sphere of influence of the Black Miao. Most of them will be through " They were massacred on the pretext of "resistance", but now the black seedlings were in chaos, and no one took care of this matter.
But this has already begun to happen on a large scale. Including the Bai Yao and other tribes, they are expelling all the Xia people in the area, whether they are business travelers or those who have been here for a long time, they are all expelled. This is better. Many people who hate the Xia people are really going to kill them. Anyway, if the law does not punish everyone, will the five races jointly really cause trouble for us?
For a time, the people of Miao Xia were miserable, with many families broken up and people dead.
People in summer have changed their local clothes, fled to places where familiar faces will be recognized, and changed their lives, but where can they go in a short while? Under the consensus of all races, no matter where you go, you will not survive if you are recognized!
Really leaving Miao territory? There are old people and young people, and the journey alone, which makes even strong men complain of hardship, can kill family members, young and old.
Just when there was nothing to do, some gossip quickly spread around the Erhai Lake through Li Si'an's caravan in Miao territory, and then spread to distant places from the surrounding areas:
Among the five joint clans, only the Ling clan speaks on the side of the Xia people, and is willing to accept the Blessing Xia people to defect to them, as long as you claim to be from the Ling clan in the past, abide by the rules of the Ling clan, and obey the Holy Spirit clan. Women can manage it. Nowadays, many Xia people live near Xizhou Town, forming a new village and town, which is named Taoyuan Town. As long as you go there, it is the Taoyuan of the Miao Xia people.
Hei Miao didn't have time to take care of this matter. Although the Bai and Yao people hated the Xia people, they didn't hate them that much. They couldn't bear to see many Xia people being killed, so they turned a blind eye and allowed Sisi to protect them. .
Unknowingly, the Eldar tribe of several hundred people expanded explosively, turned into thousands, and quickly exceeded 10,000. It was visually observed that there were still people trekking from other distant areas.
--The Miao territory is very large, big enough to become a quite large country, and the area around Dali and Erhai Lake is just a small core area. Although the overall population is sparse, the total number of people is not large, and the two adults among them are usually scattered in different places with almost no presence, but if they can be gathered together, they will actually be a bit overwhelming.
In fact, the slightly more sensitive clan leaders realized that this was a good opportunity to attract more power. However, due to the missed opportunity, the Xia people only recognized the Spirit Clan, and no one dared to entrust their entire family to others. As a result, Pan Wan and others also wanted to absorb the Xia people, but with little success. They watched a large number of Xia people flee to Taoyuan, and even some Xia people within their own territory fled.
They obviously didn't bully him, but they couldn't keep him... Now that the initial expulsion had begun, the Xia people no longer trusted him.
Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and others looked at each other, feeling a little frightened by this situation. No one knows who will be the most powerful ethnic group in Miao territory when this storm passes... But now, they find that they are unable to contain such a torrent.
The trend is overwhelming and irreversible.
This trend was started by themselves. If they don’t expel them, nothing will happen... This is because they have forced out a terrifying force.
"There is no need to panic for the time being." Pan Wan said to the worried Dao Qingfeng: "With so many people, they all need to eat, and the Spirit Clan must find a way to keep them safe and sound."
The Miao Territory is not as good as the Central Plains. Although there are fertile fields, the current development is not enough. The mountains and forests are poisonous and miasma is everywhere, and there are mostly pastures in the plains. It is not the farming season now, and it is too late to open up wasteland. Most of the Xia people here are engaged in business, and there are also craftsmen and martial arts schools. Generally speaking, they are basically unable to supply food output. It is impossible to support so many people.
Hei Miao's Lei Ao also sneered when he heard the news: "This little girl knows nothing. She only has a pretty face...and feet...she has no brains anyway. I'll just wait and see what happens to her so-called Taoyuan." Form into a ball and bite back on itself."
However, what is surprising is that it is already May and the population of Taoyuan has increased, but there is no chaos at all.
After thinking about it, I also had a lot of extra money, and started to organize manpower to start reclaiming wasteland. It is expected that I will be truly self-sufficient next year.
Even after having Xia craftsmen, they began to build their own weapons and armor.
Every tribe was dumbfounded and sent people to investigate one after another. The information they got was even more baffling: Sisi really took out countless grains, as if they were conjured.
Food is not given away for free. People in Xia basically have money on hand, so they can just buy it at the normal market price. Inexplicably, Sisi became rich and the place was extremely stable.
Where does this food come from?
Of course, it is the grain that Sisi moved from the back of Guling Secret Realm. Guling Secret Realm refused to release it in full, but there has been no objection to doing some trade. The output of a single secret realm is obviously not rich enough to do external transactions. It's a normal idea. The weather in the secret realm is smooth, and there are never any natural disasters to speak of. Although the food reserves cannot be considered too much, it is still possible to use some of them for trade, just to tide over this urgent need.
At the same time, Li Si'an's caravan also returned. Jingxiang had already resumed production, food was no longer in short supply, and Jingnan also had routes leading here. The next round trip coincides with the autumn harvest, and I can tell that there will be a large amount of grain coming back next time.
When the land reclamation is completed, it won’t take long to completely enter the positive cycle.
When the news came out, there were other chain reactions.
Sisi has said before that she can win over not only Xia people, but also many people who don’t know how to count themselves as clansmen. After hearing that this place is stable, there are so many people who come to seek naturalization on their own initiative. As long as these people are trained well, but Those who can truly consider themselves as spiritual people...
Although there may be some spies... in short, it is obvious to the naked eye that this force is going to become a real powerful force...
Sisi was very busy these days and had no time to talk to Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe basically did not interfere in these matters. He was not good at internal affairs, so his intervention was in vain.
He is focused on another thing: where has Shi Wuding been after falling out with Lei Zhentang, and what is he planning?
On the surface, the damage these swordsmen can cause is far less than that of Lei Zhentang, but Zhao Changhe does not dare to underestimate the sixth person on the list.
He did not think that the Shiwu Dingju Sect moved to the Miao territory simply to cooperate with the Black Miao... how could they cooperate so hard. Even if they are afraid of being recognized because of practicing the Sword Slave method, it is not necessarily necessary to move the whole group. As long as the people who practice the Sword Slave method are separated and a small number of people come to Miao territory, it will be fine.
The reason why Ju Sect is here must have other motives. The merger with Hei Miao is just one of the ways to achieve multiple goals with one stone, so if they fall out, it won't have much impact.
In previous contacts, we did not see a large number of Jianlu disciples. It can be seen that they have already taken root here. What are they doing?
Taking advantage of the surge in power of the Spirit Clan and the availability of more masters, Zhao Changhe organized a group of Xia warriors to explore the whereabouts of the "White Swordsman".
As Sisi gradually stabilized her internal affairs, Zhao Changhe also received news about Shi Wuding.
"Thinking of the Dharma Protector, people who escaped from Lijiang a few days ago said that they saw a large number of swordsmen in white on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."
Zhao Changhe, who was practicing swordsmanship with Yue Hongling, put away his sword. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Changhe said: "There must be a plan. If we don't figure this out, the destructive power may not be inferior to Black seedlings rebel."
Yue Hongling said: "But we are no match for Shi Wuding... What are your ideas? It seems unrealistic to ask Sisi to raise troops and go to the snowy mountains?"
"It's not realistic, but you still have to think about it."
"...Is this why you came to Sisi's door a few days ago during your busy schedule?"
Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "I'm looking for her on business..."
"What happened?"
"She did something sorry to a certain senior before, and although the senior generously forgave her, she had no face to reply. This time she saved so many Xia people, although the senior may not care about this kind of thing, but But it is a good step for her to present a gift and admit her mistake. I suggest that she send an envoy to admit her mistake to her seniors and ask her seniors to help her a little. ”
Yue Hongling glanced at him sideways for a while: "You have many secrets that I don't even know..."
"Where are you talking? In fact, senior has come here quietly and has been having a great time drinking in the town recently."
"Which senior? There are not many people who can beat the times..."
"I feel that Shi Wuding is going to be unlucky...especially since he is doing things in hiding and seems to have a treasure. This senior is particularly interested in this kind of thing."
