Yun Ye is not the only one who doesn't believe there are ghosts and gods in the world, Di Renjie doesn't believe it either! He doesn't believe a word, and he doesn't believe a word what Elder Heifeng of Loulan says.
"You have offended the Sun King and will suffer the most terrible punishment. The black storm will fall from the sky and bury everyone under the black sand. The Sand Demon King will swallow up your eyes, your hair, and every inch of your flesh.
, he will also take out your soul and tie it to a pillar to expose it to the sun every day. No matter how you wail and pray, it will be of no avail."
Elders who can speak Tang Dynasty dialect are relatively rare. Di Renjie listened to Elder Heifeng's words with a smile, and asked his entourage to feed the elder some water. Anyone who can keep saying this for half an hour will have a dry mouth.
"We will talk about the Sun King later. Tomorrow afternoon, we will find the Sun King. Before he ties me to a pillar and exposes me to the sun, I will tie him to a pillar and expose him to the sun.
Elder Heifeng, tell me, why did your tribe suddenly hide? I helped you find the external cause. That's because the river flowing into Daze has changed its course in the past few years. You are also desperate for this place, right?
?Your city is getting taller, and so is the land, but the water level in Daze is lowering, and you have no way to solve the problem of crop irrigation. Especially recently, you have found that the dug canals have been covered by yellow sand.
It became increasingly difficult to get water, so we decisively prepared to move.
I can understand such a move, but why did you suddenly disappear? All the furniture and utensils were abandoned. I don't believe you have such determination to burn everything. Tell me, where have your people gone?
Your disappearance made our emperor very angry. He once thought that he was invaded by foreigners or harmed by border troops, so he sent us to investigate this matter. You are His Majesty's obedient subjects. It is really sad to suffer such a bad luck.
Your Majesty has strictly ordered that no matter who is involved in this matter, they will be severely punished. You can speak out if you have any grievances."
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he ordered someone to untie Elder Heifeng. He sat cross-legged on a blanket and watched Heifeng's reaction. When a person is nervous or panicked, there will always be flaws exposed.
Heifeng could be regarded as an elder who had met the world. He sat cross-legged on the sand opposite Di Renjie, clasped his hands on his chest and prayed devoutly: "Dear Sun King, your servant can no longer suppress the pain and pain in his heart.
Angry, please allow your servant to use the strongest language to refute the shamelessness of these robbers and liars. They are blood-sucking devils, man-eating wolves, and the most despicable people in the world.
The most shameless robber!"
Except for Mr. Jin Zhu and the students of the academy, all the Tang people present frowned. Those soldiers, including Cheng Chumo and Captain Bian, all showed proud smiles. The hatred of foreigners was the best compliment to them.
"We are Loulan people, not Shanshan people. You have imposed this disgusting name on us. Two people who have hated each other for generations have to share the same name under your whip.
The people of the Central Plains have always been strong. There are times when you are weak, but you always stand up again and again and become incomparably stronger. But this time, your strength makes even the gods tremble. The Turks are almost killed by you, Huihe.
People have become your herd slaves, the Tuyuhun people, the Xue Yantuo people, and the nine surnames of Zhaowu on the far riverside can only tremble under your iron hoofs. With your arrival, countless tribes like Loulan have completely disappeared.
, our childhood playmates cannot be seen in the land where we grew up, but we can meet in the distant streets of Chang'an.
Yes, we all went to pay tribute to our common overlord, the Emperor Tang, hoping to use the most beautiful girl in the clan, the sweetest fruits growing on the land, the fattest cattle and sheep in the pasture, the most precious treasures that can be found in the desert, ancient times.
Erdan, the best dancing boy, flattered the powerful emperor, hoping to allow the Loulan people to continue to survive on their own land. "
Mr. Jinzhu suddenly interrupted Elder Heifeng's confession: "As far as I know, you have indeed presented generous gifts to His Majesty. This is an obligation that you must bear as a vassal country, and our Majesty did not ask for your gifts in vain.
Every time there are generous rewards, the value of the rewards even exceeds the value of the gifts you offer. What His Majesty needs is your surrender, not your gifts.
When His Majesty celebrated his birthday the year before last year, I was also invited by His Majesty. Among the people watching the ceremony, the gifts presented by you Shanshan people were not generous, and even a little shabby in our opinion. Your Majesty still accepted it happily and said that you Shanshan people are the best.
It’s not easy to survive in the wilderness, so I specially added more gifts in return. Have you forgotten all these graces?”
What Mr. Jinzhu hates the most is ungrateful people. There is nothing wrong with what he has witnessed.
"We are Loulan people, not Shanshan people. We have always been Loulan people. Our names have been ours since birth and cannot be changed by your emperor's decree." Black Wind raised his head and roared loudly.
"Unbridled"! Lieutenant Bian shouted and threw himself up! The sword and its sheath hit Hei Feng's face, and two teeth immediately spurted out from Hei Feng's mouth.
Heifeng spat out the blood in his mouth, and without looking at the angry crowd around him, he slowly sat up straight and continued: "It is true, we did get generous rewards in Chang'an, and the children in the tribe are very happy. They
In Chang'an, he bought beautiful knives, strong saddles, beautiful clothes, strong pots, and even some silly children specially bought delicious cakes. He just wanted to bring these delicacies back to the desert for the tribesmen to taste, so he forgot
Food spoils."
Heifeng seemed to be still immersed in the prosperity of Chang'an when he said this, and said in a dreamy voice: "We all thought that Chang'an City was the most majestic and beautiful city in the world, and it was also the richest place in the world. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a
The majestic and benevolent emperor, we are extremely lucky to have such an enlightened master.
Our bad luck started on our way home. We were not subject to any interrogation or questioning in Guanzhong. The local government even arranged food and accommodation for us. But after we left Yumen Pass, my God, the generous and hospitable Tang people turned into hungry wolves.
, the gifts given to us by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were taken away, and our own things were also taken away. The dancers who danced for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and won praise were also taken away. The vigorous young man said one more word and was dragged on the horse.
The corpses in the back were cut to pieces alive, and they also beat an old man like me with a riding crop. Look, look!"
Heifeng tore open his clothes, and his withered body was covered with whip marks all over the place. In some places, bones could even be seen. Maybe it was because he was too angry. His chest was rising and falling, and those whip marks seemed to come alive in him.
The body is walking meanderingly, looking shocking.
Cheng Chumo glanced curiously and turned back to the military commander and said, "You idiots are still using the Overlord Whip? You don't even remove the barbs on it?"
The Lieutenant of the Border Army coughed and replied: "The barbarians are vulgar, and no severe punishment is enough to convince the public. Our brothers have been stationed in the desert for a long time, and they are also rough-tempered. It is not a big deal, but this dog thief has not been able to do it until now."
He said that the hiding place of the clan members must be people with ulterior motives. Please ask the captain to hand over this evil thief to the subordinate, and make sure that he confesses his eight generations of ancestors."
Heifeng suddenly stood up, and before the sergeant around him could get closer, he fed a black substance into the mouths of the other two Loulan people, and then fed one to himself, laughing and waiting to die.
The captain was shocked when he saw Di Renjie also stood up and punched Heifeng hard on the stomach. Heifeng bent his body and spit out a dark thing from his mouth.
Cheng Chumo chuckled, and struck the two men hard in the stomach like lightning. His strength was so strong that not only did the two men vomit out the black balls, but blood also spurted out.
Di Renjie wrapped the black ball in a handkerchief and put it in front of the torch. He looked at it for a while, then said to Mr. Jinzhu with a smile: "It turns out to be cinnabar, but it's not very pure. If you eat it, you won't die for a while."
Mr. Jinzhu spat at the captain of the border army bitterly and cursed "kill the talent"! He went straight back to the carriage. He couldn't stand the atrocities of the border army. He had seen too many tragic things along the way, so
He believed it as soon as Hei Feng said it.
Di Renjie had someone help Heifeng up and then said to him: "I'll give you two choices. Go find your people now, or I will dig out your people like mice."
Heifeng chuckled and turned his head away. He was already prepared to endure the torture.
"Actually, I can find all your clan members without you having to tell me. Let me tell you. You told me all!" Di Renjie was not impatient and said to Hei Feng slowly.
Heifeng glanced at Di Renjie with contempt, but still didn't say a word.
"I started digging the Tomb of the Sun yesterday morning. At this time, you must be hiding in a secret place to peek, right? Where could this place be? Let's think about it. The Tomb of the Sun is on a sunny slope and cannot be seen from the north.
To the south is Daze and to the west is the desert. Since you like the Sun King, you must like the east very much. Your hiding place is in the east, don’t you think?"
Di Renjie smiled when Heifeng avoided his eyes and continued: "After confirming the direction, let's calculate the distance. It's actually easy to calculate. During the day, you hid in a secret place and cried. You cursed me all day, but you didn't dare.
Come out. If you want to pay your last respects to your Sun King, you can only come out at night. You don’t dare to come out when it’s just dark. You have to wait until everyone is asleep. That’s a good time for you to come out. In addition, there is the issue of sight distance.
, it’s good if you can walk five miles in an hour in the dark, so no matter how you argue, your tribe is about five miles to the east, right?"
