The red sun sets, and night arrives again. The deep darkness is like a tide, rushing on the seaside, irresistible, like the Mexica army. However, under the dark night, there are always little bits of fire,
Like a futile and endless resistance.
"Master! Chief Snake Mother of the Jinwan tribe has been in the camp outside the city and has not returned... There are many rumors in the Jinwan tribe, and Chief Snake Mother's tribe is also somewhat unstable..."
The captain of the guard, Eckart, bowed slightly, facing the deep night, and reported the details inside and outside Golden Bay City, demonstrating the power of the kingdom's control.
"The most noteworthy thing is that Chief Irvi is very active and has private meetings with many tribal leaders. He seems to want to go further. He is not willing to accept the kingdom's decision, but wants to integrate the tribes and renegotiate with the kingdom.
.Because of his activeness, the young tribesmen who were integrated into the field camp seemed to be a little unstable..."
"Huh? Integrate the tribes and renegotiate? Chief Irvi, the nephew of Chief Da Ri?"
"Yes! The head of the family, Irvi, is the nephew of Chief Da Ri, and he has always had great prestige among the various tribes in Jinwan..."
Hearing this, Shulot stopped and frowned, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Ekart, if I remember correctly, Irvi was the chief we established with one hand, and gave him a tribe of ten thousand people... But now my royal flag is outside the city, and he actually dares to be inside the city
Jumping up and down?"
"Well... the head of the family, Irvi is very famous for his bravery and is a descendant of the sun. According to the tradition of the Totonak people, after the death of Chief Big Sun, he should have inherited the tribe..."
Eckart, the captain of the guard, was careful to choose his words so as not to arouse the king's anger even more.
"So, in Irvi's view, it is natural to control the tribe, and he is probably not grateful to us... After the death of Chief Da Ri, most of the remaining elders and leaders of the tribe gathered around him. These people lost their tribe
, was very dissatisfied with power and wealth, and did not dare to stand up for himself, so he encouraged the young and reckless Irvi..."
"Before, Commander Black Wolf was suppressing him, and Chief Snake Mother was his opponent. Irvi had always been very submissive... But now Commander Black Wolf is away on an expedition, and Chief Snake Mother is nowhere to be found... He is secretly active.
In fact, these private gatherings are very secretive..."
"However, what is gratifying is that the glory of the Lord God has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Golden Bay warriors! A guard confessed to the priest and reported all this!... Praise the Lord God!..."
Having said this, the captain of the guard, Eckart, looked pious and his words were full of joy. However, his performance could not divert the king's attention.
"Contact in private, so eager, so ambitious?...Ha! He is afraid of the black wolf, isn't he afraid of me?"
Shulot squinted his eyes and looked at Jinwan City in the northwest, with anger surging in his chest. Under the night, Jinwan City no longer had the prosperous firelight of the past, only the regularly moving torches, which were the kingdom's warriors on patrol. And in Jinwan City, there were only regular moving torches.
Outside Bay City, a large number of huts and caves have begun to take shape, which are the farming camps set up by the kingdom.
"Spring is deep in April, and spring plowing is in May. Now there is only more than a month left before spring plowing!... Spring plowing is the kingdom's big plan, the foundation for establishing a foothold on the seaside, and the key to people's attachment! At this time,
The farmland outside Jinwan City must not be affected in any way!"
Shulot lowered his eyes and made a decisive decision. He spoke calmly, but his murderous intention was everywhere like the warm wind under the night.
"Ekart, I'll give you ten days to mobilize the guard troops stationed there. Inform the chief priests in the city to collect a list of suspicious leaders from the palms of believers... I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let them go.
one person..."
"Yes! Head of the family, I will arrange the manpower right away!"
The captain of the guard, Eckart, trembled in his heart and respectfully agreed. The two of them continued to walk under the night, one behind the other. The large group of guard warriors accompanied them, and the sonorous sound of armor leaves told of the true ruthless power. Until the camp gate was approaching,
Only then did Shulot stop again. He looked up at the stars above his head and asked quietly to the sky, with anger hidden in his voice.
"Witness the Lord God! I treat all tribes equally, integrate all tribes, and regard the tribes in the seaside land as the people of the kingdom! I will bring them strong protection, bring them a path to ascend, bring farmland that increases production, and bring them
A prosperous life!...But why do these stubborn Totonac people keep rising up against me?"
Ekart, the captain of the guard, was silent for a long time, feeling the king's complicated mood. It wasn't until the king looked at him that he answered in a low voice, reciting the sacrificial poems of the Teotihuacan people.
"King! The people of Teotihuacan in the Holy City once said, 'On a fertile land, there will be no empty farmland. If you want to plant corn seeds, you must first clear the fields'..."
"If you don't plan to change anything and just want to circle a piece of land and put up your mark, it will be easy. But the more you want to do, the more busy farm work and weeds you need to remove, and the more you need to do.
The more you do! This is something you have to do. The more you do, the more abundant the harvest will be in autumn..."
Hearing such an answer, Shulot remained silent. He looked at the captain of the guard, Ekart, and appreciation gradually showed in his eyes. And his heart, which was full of murderous intent and became more and more prone to killing, also gradually calmed down in the quiet night.
Come down.
"Eckardt, you are right... A long time ago, I once said to myself. What I want to do is not a hero, but a diligent farmer. Plant seeds one by one in the soil of the times and grow them.
Nurturing, carefully cultivating, and accumulating the trend of history... until the fields are lush and green, until the fruit trees rise from the ground, until the civilization is as dense as a forest, then flocks of birds will flock to me, and all the heroes of the world will fall into my lap!"
"Therefore, things for farmers cannot be rushed. The land of Totonac is so far away, the tribes are so scattered, and the inheritance is so long... It is indeed very different from the land of Tarasco and the land of Tlaxcala.
It’s different...I’m still too impatient!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, the captain of the guard, Eckardt, pursed his lips, and emotions surged in his heart. He suddenly clenched his fists in his chest and sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"The head of the family, the high priest once said that you are the hope of the Holy City, the sun that can be immortal like the elders!... And the only worry of the high priest is your urgency and self-discipline, like chasing
The eagle of the sun flies non-stop..."
"However, if the strings are too tight, the sound will be chilling. A warrior who is too tired will not be able to freely control the power of the war stick and capture the captives alive... The end of the urgent move forward is the bright red of endless blood.
; A soul that is forcibly suppressed will also go into deep darkness... Family master, please take a break and indulge for a while! I will do my best to make arrangements for you!"
Hearing these familiar words, Shulot looked at the starry sky and was silent for a long time again. He searched in the bright stars, but could never find the star that belonged to his grandfather. Time will change everything, and once it changes, it will no longer exist.
return.
"Let's go! Go eat."
After a long moment of silence, Shulot retracted his deep gaze, looked at the camp in front of him, and spoke calmly.
"Prepare some tequila for me, I haven't had it in a long time."
"Yes! Master!"
Eckardt, the captain of the guard, bowed his head in salute, and when he raised his head again, he returned to a respectful and cautious posture. The difference between monarch and minister is this, and it must not be crossed at will. After all, he is different from Bertard... "Remember! The wine must be stronger.
,more."
Having said this, Shulot smiled. At this moment, he seemed to have broken free from some kind of self-restraint and relaxed the restraint from another era. It was very rare that he looked like a comfortable aristocratic young man.
"After drinking, take me to see the 'interesting' gifts! She is very beautiful and charming. She should be good at dancing!..."
"Understood! Master!"
"No, you don't understand."
Shulot shook his head, his eyes were deep and faintly red, like the eyes of a god. When did this cold divinity become engraved in his heart? He didn't know, but he remembered every scene.
The bloody conversion, every time the crowds prostrate themselves, calling him the supreme king.
"...There are many beautiful women, but not many like her. This is an ambitious woman, and everything she does is to climb up. I was not planning to keep her, or I was going to throw her away.
Far away. But she came forward on her own, trying hard to find an opportunity..."
"Ha! In that case, I will give her two chances, just like the elder gave me!... If she cannot satisfy me and will be of no help to the conquest of Totonac... I will give her two chances.
She was completely handed over to the Priest Aguis and truly taught her, an 'interesting' gift..."
