Eight hundred and fortieth seven chapters are the king's tent
Threshing Valley is a common name for people to store grain and grass before winter to prepare for the winter. However, in the vast grassland and the northern region where barbarians are in power, it has another meaning.
From top to bottom in Beijin, all major barbarian tribes, whether ferocious or barbaric, except for the supreme barbarian saints, are all nobles. Next are the human barbarians who occupy one-third of the power in Beijin, and finally
It's human race.
Although the human race is claimed to be civilians, their actual status is not even that of a slave. Any barbarian can kill a human race at will. If this person belongs to a certain tribe, they only need to pay a small amount of money as compensation.
The Dacao Valley is a barbarian tribe at the bottom who kills humans or human slaves as food reserves during cold winters or disaster-prone seasons, even in normal times.
Some barbarians like human culture or are simply cruel in nature, and they will even select a certain part as a high-grade ingredient, specially used to enjoy or entertain guests, especially the organs of infants, virgins or high-level warriors.
The first two are fresh and tender, while the latter is full of vitality, which is a great tonic for demons and barbarians!
However, as large gatherings like the Eastern Song Dynasty took shape, every time the caravan passed along the way, although the Northern Jin Dynasty King's account clearly stipulated that they were not allowed to attack the caravan, some barbarians found another way and deliberately tortured the slaves along the way to anger the past.
Human race trades.
As long as someone can't stand it anymore, the barbarians will take advantage of the situation and invite a fight. According to the barbarian rules, the loser's life, death or property will be dealt with by the winner.
Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and through the smooth windows polished with crystal walls, he saw a group of about six or seven ferocious-looking barbarians or jackals, wearing half-body leather armor and holding various bone weapons, trampling on ten people wantonly.
Several human slaves in ragged clothes and withered bodies.
"Dajiang, be silent, don't disturb the prince's rest!"
Peng Chao's eyes widened and he shouted.
Yu Dajiang quickly confessed, while Nuonuo stepped aside.
In front of outsiders, Wu Ming is a caravan guard just like them, but no one will take him seriously. Even if Wu Ming doesn't care, they will stick to their duties. Five years of training have already integrated their respect for Wu Ming.
Down to the core.
"I remember that there was a brother in our family named Chen Lu. When you entered Beijin for the second time to do business, he failed to resist the provocation of the barbarians and was eventually killed here!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"The prince's photographic memory makes..."
"No need to put gold on my face!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, his eyes unwavering, indescribable indifference, "Saving your life for the dead is not worth it!"
"My lord, they..."
Yu Dajiang's expression changed and he explained hurriedly.
"The way you look at them!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
Everyone looked at him and immediately lowered their heads in silence. They had seen that dull look many times, and they all knew what it meant without Wu Ming's reminder.
"But if we don't do anything, are we still human?"
Yu Dajiang murmured dullly, seeming to have reached the hearts of everyone. They originally thought that Wu Ming, who was also young, would not just sit idly by and ignore such evil deeds, but it was different from what they imagined.
Peng Chao opened his mouth, but although he didn't speak, his expression betrayed him, and he obviously had the same idea.
"Then do you think that the saints, who are above the body and have heavenly hearts, and who are below to comfort all the people, don't know what's going on here?"
Wu Ming said calmly.
Everyone was shocked and looked frightened.
There is no better way to waste the holy will than this!
In this regard, not everyone is like Wu Ming, who does not take into account the word-of-mouth loyalty and righteousness scriptures such as "the shore of the land is not the king's land, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", and even abandons it like a worn-out shoe.
.
To a certain extent, they have accepted this concept since childhood, but subconsciously, the only monarch is not the royal family of Zhao and Song, but Wu Ming!
"The holy book says, don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because it is small. If you can save the people of the Beijin tribe from suffering, what a great kindness it will be?"
"Buddha said, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is a great good deed. Isn't it possible to become a Buddha immediately?"
"Don't take small sins lightly and think that there is no harm. Although the drop of water is small, it gradually fills up the big vessel. We all understand this truth. Why do the saints turn a deaf ear to it?"
"Are you smarter than all the saints, or are you too energetic and your brains showing off?"
Wu Ming's every sentence was like a bell, hammering into everyone's hearts. Cold sweat trickled down his face. By the end, his legs were like sieves of chaff, and there was no longer any doubt in his heart.
After all, he is still young and energetic, and cannot bear to see such dirty things in the world, so he is impulsive and filled with righteous indignation. But if you think about Wu Ming's words from his perspective, you will clearly understand that it is not that you don't want to do it, but that you can't do it!
As the saying goes, every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. Even though the saints are transcendent, aren’t there any difficulties?
This is for sure, otherwise the demon barbarians would not occupy the fertile land of China and bully the human race wantonly, becoming as powerful as the middle Tang Dynasty, nor would they allow neighboring countries to be invaded and occupied, while the human race compatriots suffered inhumane massacres and abuses and sat idly by!
"Don't rush to the front when your head is hot. Only by living can you have the last laugh!"
After being taught a lesson, Wu Ming closed his eyes and rested his mind. Although his face was calm, his heart was turbulent. He kept asking himself, "Should I take up the responsibility as a human being?"
In terms of strength, he was just starting out and barely had the power to protect himself. He was taking care of a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and he was already trying his best to deal with the tigers and wolves from all sides who could easily kill him.
In terms of power, needless to say, except for pulling the tiger's skin from time to time and borrowing the power of a few powerful people to make people fearful, there is almost no power to draw on!
Even though Lu Jiuyuan had arranged his carriage and horses to escort him, looking at the situation over the years, if he had not been hiding in Shigu Academy under the care of the Master Fan, the news that his holy path had been cut off would have been revealed long ago.
People have seen through it.
When it comes to talent, Wu Ming thinks he can't lose to anyone. Even if a heavenly demon is born and at the same level, he dares to fight openly and openly. However, talent and potential need time to grow, and what he lacks most is time.
In terms of status, apart from being a king in name only in the Song Dynasty, he was actually worthless. Otherwise, he would not have been bullied to such an extent. Even the holy temples would strip him of his military honors time and time again.
Once at Youxia Ridge, once at Qianlongyuan, and twice for military merit, they all made excuses and withheld the rewards.
And this trip to Qianlongyuan was the excuse that the cause of death of a member of the royal family of the Zhongtang Dynasty was unknown, and he was a suspect!
The other names on the list have long since entered a leap in strength with the help of the rewards given by the Holy Temples. Only he, while still running to save his life, must seize every opportunity to improve his cultivation.
"Am I being too selfish?"
Wu Mingnen asked himself, subconsciously speaking in the sea of consciousness.
"Well, this is true, but I can't blame you. As the old saying goes, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. It's not your junior's turn to worry about things like running a country!"
Ku Ye hesitated for a moment, which was considered to be comforting, but he was muttering in his heart. He was really afraid of Wu Ming's surprise. This kid was usually heartless and selfish, so why did he become compassionate now?
"hehe!"
Wu Ming suddenly smiled and looked at the miserable situation outside the window, which had become blurry. His eyes were cold and he said, "Although the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs and all living beings are equal, I am still a human being and I have to do something!
"
The endless blue waves undulate with the wind, just like waves thousands of miles away. For many caravans who trade on the border between the two countries all year round, it is just a small episode and has no impact at all.
After all, they had seen too much, and maybe they were numb, or maybe it was nothing to do with them, but they basically turned a blind eye. Even if someone in the boat clamored to teach the barbarians a lesson, everyone just laughed it off, and no one was seen getting off the boat in the end.
This kind of behavior is either done by newcomers, or they are connected with the barbarians, deliberately luring people who don't know the truth to disembark and fight with the barbarians!
The merchant ship is huge, but its speed is not slow. It is also guarded by grassy barbarian soldiers who are docile and kind to humans. They are said to be guards, but in fact they are also surveillance to prevent anyone from leaving. Anyway, they are all under strict surveillance.
After walking for six days, we finally arrived at the first transfer station, which was Qingma City under the control of Maman. As one of the largest groups of barbarians, although Maman's strength is not
Top-notch, but it has a lot of influence among the grass barbarians.
After entering the city, the leaders of each caravan have already come forward to conduct transactions with people from the various Caoman tribes who have business dealings with each other.
Wu Ming's team was no exception. Xu Tuo led the team, under the supervision of a grass barbarian soldier, and followed a grass barbarian into a place in the city where humans and barbarians lived together.
No one noticed that when Xu Tuo led people to trade goods, Wu Ming disappeared for a while. Although he appeared soon, he had already changed.
The person he exchanged identities with was just a handyman guard among the subordinates of a family in the city. He usually behaved in a low-key manner and was not conspicuous. Almost no one noticed his departure.
No one even noticed that another person in Chang Shu's team led by him had exchanged identities with him. After two twists and turns, Wu Ming had quietly entered Chang Shu's team.
After some tossing, more than half of the caravan continued on its journey, going deep into the territory of the grassland barbarians. The remaining teams either ended their transactions, or were going to trade with distant tribes, and were unable to go deep.
About five days later, when they arrived at the second transfer station, Wu Ming followed the same method and replaced a dead man's secret that Jia Zhengjing had planted many years ago.
Chang Shu and others did not go further and went to the tribes where they had transactions according to the original plan. Wu Ming, as a guard, followed the family of barbarian nobles through Fujing Tianmen to the deepest part of the grassland, the center of barbarian power——
Dutianwang's account!
The reason why this family of barbarian nobles went to Dutianwang's tent at this time was naturally because a grand gathering of all barbarians was about to begin. Wu Ming only waited for about two days as an outdoor person before setting off without any danger.
Being able to do it so skillfully is naturally attributed to the fact that Wu Ming and Jia Zhengjing are both people who pay great attention to intelligence, and they can be said to be meticulous and pervasive!
As the center of barbarian power, Dutianwangzhang is where the Jiaoman Imperial Court is located. It is close to the territories of several emperors and barbarians, especially Hanyue Lake, the Holy Land of Foxman.
