The first thousand two hundred and sixty-one chapters convene the leaders
Chapter 1,261 Gathering the Leaders
Xiao Guizha looked at Hongque with a firm face, gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, the Guizha tribe and I will swear allegiance to the Saint to the death!"
"I told you not to call me a saint again."
As Hongque spoke, he smiled and stretched out a hand, "From now on, we are the closest comrades and partners, Brother Guizha!"
Xiao Guizha was completely stunned.
Although Hongque has repeatedly emphasized that she is no longer a saint of the Red Sect, and is still the target of Sanzhu Zhaluo's pursuit at this time.
However, the concepts that have been cultivated for a long time are still difficult to change for a while. The status of the Saint Cardinal in their hearts is holy and high.
But at this moment, he suddenly extended a white hand to him enthusiastically, which made Xiao Guizha feel flattered.
"What, do you dislike my dirty hands?"
Cardinal said with a smile.
"No, no, no..."
Xiao Guizha instinctively stretched out his hand and held it with Hong Qing's little white hand, his heart pounding non-stop.
Then his eyes turned red, and he knelt down on one knee with a pop, and said firmly, "From now on, my life belongs to you, Holy Lord..."
Yang Xuan joked beside him, "Haha, from Saintess to Saint Lord, I didn't expect you to be promoted. Not bad, not bad, this title is quite good."
Hongque did not refuse Xiao Guizha's title. She knew that everything must be done in a moderate manner. She should be friendly when she should be friendly, but she must not be too polite when she should be polite. Only in this way can she control people's hearts better.
Once you've solved the little devil's challenge, the matter is half done.
Then several people began to discuss what to do next.
"One of our biggest difficulties now is that our numbers are too small and we don't have enough troops."
Yang Xuan's words directly got to the crux of the matter.
Xiao Guizha frowned and said, "This is a flaw. Counting men, women, old and young, the Guizha tribe only has a few people, and even fewer have combat capabilities."
Yang Xuan said with a smile, "If you don't have a gun, go find a gun. If you don't have anyone, go find someone. There must be quite a few of you from the dozen or so outer sect forces, big and small, in total."
Xiao Guizha shook his head and said, "It's useless. These people seem to be very friendly on the surface, but in fact they are all a group of selfish people who only seek profit."
"They respected us a lot before because the Guizha tribe had enough strength and influence."
"But now that we are in this situation, it would be better if those people don't add insult to injury."
After hearing this, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't you just find a way to get them to help?"
The kid was confused, "What can I do?"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "As you said just now, they are all a group of profit-seeking people. To deal with such a group of people, if you want to unite them, you have to form a community of interests with them."
"Just like us now, as long as we are all on the same boat, have the same situation and goals, and use some small tricks, then they will not be able to even think about our pirate ship."
Seeing Xiao Guizha still looking confused, Yang Xuan looked at him with a smile and told him what he had to do tomorrow.
After hearing this, Xiao Guizha gently tapped his forehead with his hand and said hesitantly, "Is this okay?"
Cardinal said from the side, "Don't worry, just do what we say tomorrow and forget about the rest."
The night passed quickly.
Not long after the sun rose the next day, a funeral ceremony began for Old Guizha in an open field next to the Guizha tribe.
In this area with strong religious beliefs, death is a very important event.
Even prisoners who are executed have the right to enjoy a complete funeral.
Besides, the funeral this time was for an unyielding leader, so it was even more careless.
More than a dozen leaders of the outer sects of the Red Sect had to go to the scene in person. Even the headquarters of the Red Sect had symbolically sent some things to be used at the funeral.
Xiao Guizha is the only son of Lao Guizha, so he is naturally the person in charge of this funeral.
The funeral here has very complicated rituals. Xiao Guizha kneels on the ground, and next to him are the people of the Guza tribe singing and dancing local songs and dances to send off the dead.
On the other side were the leaders of the dozens of outer sect powerful tribes.
The kid there was crying hard, but the dozen or so people were yawning again and again, looking very impatient and perfunctory.
Although according to the rules, they all had to be present in person, the situation of the Guizha tribe was over at this time, so they did not need to be as polite as before.
Yang Xuan and Hong Que were hiding in the dark, watching all this quietly, waiting for the opportunity to come.
After lasting for more than three hours, the funeral came to an end.
There is a ritual of asking for a spiritual tablet, which is to take out a tablet with the name of the deceased, place it in a dug mound in a special ceremony, and then cremate the deceased's body, and the funeral is considered over.
During the process of taking out the plaque, everyone must stand up and bow their heads to the plaque. This is a rule that no one can change casually.
Xiao Guizha stood on the funeral altar and said emotionally to the leaders of the dozen or so tribes below, "Dear uncles and elders, today is the day when my father's spirit passes away. My nephew is grateful to you all for coming to see my father on his last journey."
"But compared to you, my father is lucky, because at least my father still has someone to see him off when he leaves."
"But on the day when all of you here leave, I don't know if someone will come to see you off on your last journey."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into a deathly silence.
The expressions of several tribal leaders instantly solidified, and they stared at Xiaogui Zha with particularly angry eyes.
One of them said in a deep voice, "Little Guizha, what are you talking nonsense here? Are you cursing us to death?"
Xiao Guizha shook his head slightly and said, "Uncles, don't worry too much. I don't mean to curse you. I just do this out of kindness."
After saying that, Xiao Guizha clapped his hands and said loudly, "Please give me a spiritual card!"
Then a group of people in special clothes lined up and walked onto the funeral altar holding spiritual tablets.
The dozen or so tribal leaders below looked puzzled. How come so many people came up at once?
Just when they were confused, Xiao Guizha said loudly again, "Open the spirit card!"
As Xiao Guizha finished speaking, the dozen or so people neatly lifted off the white cloth covering the spiritual tablet.
When they saw these spiritual tablets, the faces of these dozen tribal leaders instantly froze, and then their eyes flashed with murderous intent!
Each of their names is clearly written on these spiritual tablets!
Although Xiao Guizha's previous words made them feel very angry, they could still manage to suppress their anger.
But when they saw their names written on the spiritual tablets, the eyes of more than a dozen people turned red instantly!
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a huge taboo in this area!
