Qiu nodded: "You must have been to the house that belonged to Uncle Han Qing's house, right? The owner has changed now. That's because the logistics team expropriated it in the name of inheritance."
"Originally, this house belonged to Grandma Xun, but Captain Jiu thought she was crazy and asked the logistics team to temporarily keep it for her."
"We kept it in reserve, and the house belonged to the logistics team. I asked other people in the logistics team, and they said that a lunatic could not inherit the house, and there was no one else in the history family, so the house was an inheritance that no one could inherit.
"
"For an inheritance that has no one to inherit, if the last heir is a member of the patrol team, the priority inheritance right of the inheritance belongs to the patrol team to which the heir belongs."
"That house originally belonged to Uncle Han. After Uncle Han died, the house was inherited by Uncle Han's son, Xun."
"Later on, Xun disappeared, and someone else should have succeeded him, but Captain Jiu thought that Xun was just missing, and his death was not confirmed, so in the end, Xun was the successor."
"After Grandma Xun went crazy, Captain Jiu temporarily took over the house. Not long after, he announced Xun's death and let the logistics team inherit the house."
"Those bastards from the logistics team! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Captain Jiu has set his sights on that valuable house, but they all pretend they can't see it. They are still praising Captain Jiu for his righteousness and for the families of the sacrificed team members.
You take good care of me!" Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "If my father hadn't insisted on letting me stay in the logistics team, I would have wanted to leave this dirty team!"
Yue said nothing, his face gloomy.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Your father is right, you must stay in the logistics team. Whether it is to ensure Xun Nai's food situation or to keep track of the logistics team's material trends, you need to have someone in the logistics team.
"
"When you become an important figure in the logistics team in the future, you may be able to change the current situation."
"I understand." Qiu took a deep breath: "My father also told me this, I will not disappoint your expectations!"
While the two were discussing, the old woman suddenly stood up and ran excitedly towards a patrol member passing by the city gate.
"History, history! You are back! My son!"
Seeing this, Qiu sighed helplessly, rushed over and stopped the old woman.
Seeing the old man gradually calming down under Qiu's comfort, Yue hesitated in place for a while, but in the end he still did not dare to step forward and face the mother who had sacrificed his friend.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Yue looked up to the sky and sighed.
"History, I'm sorry for you! I'm late!"
That night, Yue had no sleep all night.
The next day, Yue began to wander around the city, using his abilities to inquire about the changes that had taken place in the tribe in recent years as quickly as possible, and became familiar with this homeland that felt a little strange to him.
Not only that, Yue also sneaked into the patrol team and inquired about some information about the patrol team, especially the history of the family.
Finally, he went to Qiu's father and got a secret message from him.
Han Qing's younger brother, Han Ya, once told him that there was something fishy about the death of Qing Qing!
In order to know the truth about his brother's death, Han Ya has been secretly investigating, but he died not long after.
Qiu's father never told anyone else about this matter, because he was afraid that he would become the next Han Ya.
If Yue hadn't come up with Han Qing's autographed letter this time, he would have kept it secret until he brought this secret into the quicksand.
After knowing this, Yue couldn't calm down for a long time.
While Yue was conducting the investigation, Chu Ci and Luo Jiuyou also started their next plan.
During this period of time, the development of the temple has gradually stabilized, and the sand people in Lie City have also recovered due to the water source. They no longer have to be restricted by the high water prices in Centenary City and can enjoy the moisture of the water source again.
The entire city has returned to its previous life, and everything looks the same as it did before the water source dried up.
No, it's still a little different.
Compared with before, there is an additional temple in the city, and the sand people of the Lie tribe also have an additional belief.
Every day before drinking water, the sand people will perform a short prayer to express their gratitude to the Earth God for the source of life.
The intensity of this belief reached its peak when the first priest appeared in the Earth Temple.
When a temple employee prayed to the statue of the god, he was recognized by the statue, received the knowledge given by the gods, and became a priest.
When the priest performed the magic, the sand people, who had never seen magic before, were extremely shocked.
The most important thing is that this priest also gained knowledge of the rain praying ceremony!
Through the altar ceremony, you pray to the statue, and as long as your faith is strong enough, the Earth God will send rain.
After receiving the rain prayer ceremony, the priest immediately mobilized the power of the entire temple to perform the rain prayer ceremony.
The result is obvious. With the devout prayers of all the temple personnel, it really rained again in Liecheng!
Although the amount of rainfall is not much, it is not comparable to the heavy rain when the gods come to the world, but it is enough to make the sand people in Lie City excited and excited.
There is one thing that makes them wonder, why can the god they believe in be the god of the earth, but can make it rain?
who cares!
Doesn’t this just show that the Earth God they believe in has great supernatural powers!
In this atmosphere, there is no one in Liecheng today who does not believe in the Earth God, and the entire city is like a huge temple.
The development speed of Liecheng believers exceeded Chu Ci's expectations. Normally, in a desert land like the Spitting Fire Desert, without Chu Ci's intervention, it would take more than a month from the establishment of the temple to the appearance of the priest.
As a result, it didn't take long for someone to obtain magical knowledge from the idol, which is enough to show that this person's faith and understanding are strong.
What surprised Chu Ci even more was that the first priest was none other than Hanu, whom he was familiar with.
Thanks to Hanu, the Earth Temple developed rapidly again and met the conditions for the second phase of Chuci's plan.
The second phase of Chu Ci's plan is to use the Lie tribe people's worship of him to spread the faith of the Earth Temple to other cities in the desert!
As long as the water sources of other urban tribes return to normal, the war sweeping the entire desert can be eradicated from the source.
As for how to spread faith and make other cities believe in the existence of gods and believe in earth gods, Liecheng is a good example.
The water source has recovered, but are you still afraid that they don’t believe in God?
The appearance of the priests of the Earth Temple will also allow people in other cities and tribes to see the miracle of rain from the gods, thus making them more confident in the existence of the gods.
When Chu Ci and Luo Jiuyou discussed this matter with the senior officials of Liecheng, they got unanimous consent.
In their view, spreading the faith of Lord Earth God is what believers like them should do. It is best to spread the glory of Lord Earth God throughout the desert.
Moreover, all the senior officials in Liecheng still have a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
Liecheng has the first Earth Temple in the desert, and it is a land favored by the gods. If the faith of the Earth God is spread by them, wouldn't Liecheng become the source of faith?
When the number of temples in the desert developed later, the Nalie City Temple became the boss of all temples and the holy place that all Earth God believers yearned for.
At that time, they can truly change its name to Lie Holy City.
After discussions between the two parties, Liecheng decided to open up some water resources to trade with other cities first, and use the transaction method to let other cities know that Liecheng's water source has been restored. Later, through mutual communication and other methods, other cities can believe in the power of the gods.
exist, believe in earth gods, and build temples.
The discussion on the plan to spread the faith went smoothly, except for one thing that Liecheng's senior officials disagreed with.
That is to spread the faith of the Earth God to Guchong and Yaseong.
Gucheng is because the hatred between the two sides is too great, and Yacheng is because they attacked Liecheng's resource points not long ago, causing them heavy casualties, so both cities were blacklisted by Liecheng.
Not waiting for an opportunity to take revenge was already the result of their restraint.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic for them to put down their hatred, trade with these two cities, and spread their faith.
After testing it several times, Chu Ci realized that it couldn't be done and could only regretfully give up the idea.
After returning to his place of stay, Luo Jiuyou sighed.
"The war problems in other cities should be solved, but what about Gucheng and Liecheng? Can we just watch them fight again?"
If the water source problem in Gucheng is not solved, the war between the two cities will still break out. It is just a matter of time.
In fact, the way to solve this problem is also very simple, that is, Chu Ci sends an oracle.
With Liecheng's current level of faith in him, even if the people of Lie tribe were unwilling, they would still follow his instructions, but Chu Ci didn't like that.
He will not force believers to do things they don't like, and this will also affect the believers' faith in him.
"That's not necessarily the case." Chu Ci smiled slightly and looked up in the direction of Gucheng: "I have other methods."
"Calculating the time, it's almost time."
Gucheng.
Since he was on vacation, Yue had plenty of time, but he was not idle.
During the day, I wandered around the city to learn about the current situation of the tribe, and at night I went to some secret places to find out some secret information.
This life lasted for several days, until the captain sent someone to summon him.
When he came to the captain's room again, Yue felt some changes in his mentality.
Tai, the commander-in-chief, still had that gentle smile like the spring breeze blowing on his face. He invited Yue to sit down at the tea table and made tea for him personally.
"Yue, how have you been these past few days?"
"Thank you, Captain, for your concern. Yue has had a great time these days. It's rare to have such a relaxing day." Yue said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"That's good. In fact, I really want to let you live a relaxed life for a few more days, but the conditions don't allow it!" Tai sighed deliberately: "I won't hide it from you. Our supply situation is very critical now. If you don't want to
solution, then we are likely to lose this war."
"Captain, we can pray to the gods..."
"Don't mention this matter again!" Tai put down the tea cup with a displeased look on his face: "Do you really believe that the gods will help us? If he wanted to help us, he would have helped us long ago, and our tribe would not have fallen to this point.
"
"What's more, what kind of existence are the gods? Why would they care about a mere fierce city? What is there about them that the gods can value?"
"Don't forget that when the temple is built and the gods don't come, we will suffer a big loss."
"Of course, I'm not saying that your information is wrong. It's just that the construction of the temple is cumbersome and wastes money and people. With the current situation of our tribe, it is difficult to bear such losses."
"As for what you said about Liecheng's water supply being restored, I believe it, but they may have used some method to forge the existence of gods and deceive you."
I have seen things about gods with my own eyes, how can they be false?!
Besides, if the Lie tribe could make rain, why would they have fought with us for so long?
Yue wanted to refute the captain's words, but when he saw the captain's gloomy eyes, he suddenly felt enlightened.
It’s not that the captain doesn’t believe in the existence of gods, it’s that he doesn’t want gods to appear in Gucheng!
He doesn't want anyone to be above him, even if that person is a god!
Yue was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand."
"As long as you understand." A smile appeared on Tai's face, and he picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yue: "This is the end of the matter for the gods, and you don't need to tell others about this, lest ignorant sand people listen to the slander and disrupt our military morale.
"
"Back to business, I asked you to come here this time to solve the material problem of our tribe."
"You also know that our tribe does not have much water reserves now, and we must increase our water reserves."
"But it hasn't been long since the last transaction with Baisui City. Nowadays, the resources of the tribe cannot be exchanged for much water and supplies, especially those bastards in Baisui City who are just raising prices. They can raise the price a lot every time they go there. We need to reduce the price."
Number of transactions with them.”
"If the deal doesn't work, we can only find other ways. You said that Liecheng's water source has been restored. Isn't this a God-given opportunity? As long as Liecheng is captured, their water source will belong to us!"
"So I am preparing to launch another war, and the target is Liecheng!"
"Now?" Yue was stunned.
If we attack Liecheng now, isn't that asking for death?
You must know that they are currently short of supplies, and if they attack Liecheng, they will need to travel hundreds of miles, which is a huge challenge for both supplies and soldiers.
By the time they arrived at Liecheng, there were not many supplies left, and the soldiers were in poor condition due to the long journey. However, Liecheng had enough supplies and was waiting for work. Who should take the lead?
"That's right, now." Tai smiled slightly and said confidently: "Do you think now is not a good time to start a war?"
"Wrong! Now is the perfect time!"
"Don't look at the Lie tribe's water supply recovery and think that they are now abundant in supplies and invincible. But I want to tell you, this kind of time is exactly when they are most careless."
"The people of Lie tribe must be very happy to have recovered the exhausted water source. They never thought that someone would attack them at this time."
"Furthermore, according to your information, the Lie tribe has withdrawn all the outside manpower in order to build the temple. Now is the time when their defenses are at their weakest. Without the outside soldiers to warn and convey the news, they are a group of blind men. Even if we are
They don’t know when someone comes outside their city.”
"Taking this opportunity, we can pull up dozens of fire crystal cannons and bombard them from outside their city into Liecheng. We can catch them off guard!"
