Chapter 317 Without me, why would you come to Motie!
There are few warriors among the people, and it is difficult to see young people. There are only some ordinary people who are nearly forty years old or even over forty years old who have not been able to become warriors, and may never become warriors.
However, although the remaining ordinary people are ordinary, it cannot hinder their anger at this time. And their anger only lies in two points.
First, they hate the fact that Daqian Kingdom and Yuelun Principality assassinated His Majesty and started the war. They hate it because the large-scale conscription has forced their relatives and children to embark on the battlefield, and they may never return.
Secondly, they hate themselves because of their incompetence, because they are too useless to become warriors and cannot replace their relatives and heirs. From now on, they hate them!
But these two kinds of hatred, no matter which one they are, are enough to make them hate the figure on Xingtai to the bone, wishing to eat his flesh, drink his blood, twitch his tendons, crush his bones and raise ashes.
There were two people on the execution platform, a man and a woman. The man's hair was slightly white, and his square face had wrinkles, but his eyes that should have been very bright were full of despair. This man was the envoy of the Yuelun Principality. Yan Cheng. And the other woman is naturally Xia Qianjie.
According to Shenwu Continent's evaluation of the strength of countries, from high to low, they are empires, dynasties, kingdoms, and principalities.
Since the Yuelun Principality is a principality, it is far from being comparable to Motie and Daqian in terms of its vast territory, economy, and even force. And because the Yuelun Principality borders the Motie Kingdom, from a certain point of view, In some respects, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Yuelun Principality is a subordinate state of the Motie Kingdom.
"Yan Cheng led the delegation to pay tribute to the Motie Kingdom. I'm afraid he himself didn't expect that he would fall into an unreasonable disaster, right?" Xia Qianjie looked at Yan Cheng and thought silently in her heart.
At this time, Xia Qianjie was unintentionally in a very embarrassed state, with blood marks all over her body from being whipped. Through the tattered prison clothes and the stains from being smashed by rotten vegetables, one could clearly see that her delicate skin was torn apart.
This look seems to be not only embarrassing, but also a bit pitiful. But there is no pitiful look in her expression, there is only a calm and arrogant look, stubborn and unyielding. Because she is a hard-working person, a hard-working person Glory will not allow her to surrender!
The beheading officer Yelu Qilue sat at a high place and said righteously: "The Daqian envoy and the Yuelun Principality envoy conspired to assassinate His Majesty, causing His Majesty to be seriously injured. This is an unforgivable crime and should be executed according to the law."
"Behind such insidious means, there must be a greater evil intention of the Daqian Kingdom. They must want to take advantage of the chaos in our kingdom after assassinating His Majesty, and then take the opportunity to send troops to invade our Motie Kingdom! However, our Motie Kingdom is in good hands. How can the rivers and mountains be allowed to be interfered with by others! Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to strike first. Therefore, General Yelu, who is guarding Tianliang County, has already announced to the emperor that he will take the initiative to send troops to attack Yumen Pass and attack Daqian!"
Yeluqilue's sonorous and powerful words immediately ignited the anger in the hearts of the people. For a moment, the shouts of indignation suddenly flooded the entire execution ground.
"Conquer Daqian! Defeat the Daqian Kingdom!"
"Kill Daqian Kingdom and Yuelun Principality Shichen!"
Yeluqi slightly listened to these voices of support and these angry cries, with a cold smile on his lips. He glanced at the hourglass next to him and knew that there was still a little time until three quarters to noon, so he looked at the execution platform The two of them said: "You guys, do you have anything else to say?"
Yan Cheng's body trembled slightly, his face showed pain and despair, but he never said a word.
Xia Qianjie snorted softly, silently recalling what happened during this period. Xia Qianjie's arrogant and stubborn expression slowly turned into a kind of disdain. She came with a delegation this time and presented some gifts. In addition to In addition to the condolences expressed by the Motie Kingdom, the main reason is naturally to seek some help from the Motie King in order to suppress the anti-royal forces that are ready to move in the Daqian King's city.
But she did not expect that she would be arrested by the masters of the Motie Kingdom without even seeing His Majesty the King in person. She would be charged with conspiring with the Yuelun Principality to assassinate His Majesty the King and be imprisoned in a prison.
Subsequently, in this name, the Motie Kingdom sent its troops southward, intending to attack Yumen Pass and attack the Daqian Kingdom! Since the beginning of autumn, in order to calm public opinion, several members of the Daqian mission have been beheaded to vent their anger.
"My Daqian Kingdom harbors evil intentions?"
"Want to conquer Daqian? A hundred years ago, your Motie royal family was defeated, and the great rivers and mountains were occupied by King Jie. When you were struggling painfully under King Jie's terrifying methods, why didn't you have the courage and backbone now? Thirty years ago, the remnants of King Jie When chaos breaks out again, when Motie Kingdom is in chaos, why don’t you go attack Daqian!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Yelu Qilue, the soldiers who were maintaining order, and the people all changed. To be more precise, when they heard the word "King Jie", their faces changed. An extremely frightened look.
Because those two words represent the cruel history of the Motie Kingdom being shrouded in darkness and dominated by fear.
King Jie is not a member of the royal family, but a terrifying existence who overthrew the Motie Kingdom a hundred years ago and established himself as king. At that time, almost all of the Motie Kingdom fell. King Jie had a violent temper, and every time he captured a city, he would definitely burn it to death. Looting, that is, massacre of a city, is also a common thing.
He never cares about public opinion, let alone the so-called justice or evil. He seems to be born to kill and fight. And the Motie Chu family, which represents justice, is pitifully forced to live in the most remote place in the world. The entire generation of Liangjun lives on.
However, King Jie's ambition would not stop there, so he continued to lead his cavalry south to attack Tianliang County.
At that time, the Daqian Kingdom, which was in its period of prosperity, may have been out of pity for the Motie Kingdom, or it may have been worried that King Jie would continue to move south to threaten Yumen Pass after he captured Tianliang County.
Therefore, Yi Tianxing, the legendary strongman of the Daqian Kingdom, personally led his army northward and successfully helped the Motie royal family repel King Jie's cavalry.
No, it is not too accurate to say this, because Yi Tianxing was still very young at that time, and his cultivation had not reached the Nirvana realm, so he could not be called a legendary powerhouse. In fact, he was not a legendary powerhouse in that battle. He paid an extremely heavy price, but it was precisely because that battle was tragic enough and the situation he faced was dangerous enough. That's why he realized the Nine Blood Killing Styles and other marksmanship skills that were almost directed at the way of heaven, which paved the way for him to break through to the Nirvana realm in the future. A very solid foundation was laid.
After that, King Jie seemed to have realized the horror of the Daqian Kingdom, so he did not dare to go south again for a long time. This also gave the Motie royal family a chance to breathe and began to launch a series of restoration plans.
And in those plans, there are more or less the shadows of the Daqian Kingdom, such as the most famous and far-reaching assassination of King Jie, although it was Mo Tieguo who finally entered the palace and successfully assassinated King Jie. The great swordsman Zhao Gongming. But everyone knows that the person who saw off Zhao Gongming at the bank of Yishui Lake was actually Yi Tianxing, a strong man from the Daqian Kingdom!
Zhao Gongming had one man and one sword, drank wine and sang, fought his way out of Yishui City alone, and then entered the palace and took the life of King Jie?
It has to be said that this can only be a kind of obscenity, a legend and conjecture that exaggerates the facts. If Zhao Gongming is really that strong, then why did he not kill King Jie before and had to wait until Motie was almost destroyed? Just kill?
Obviously, Zhao Gongming may be very strong, but he is definitely not as strong as the legend. And the so-called carving a bloody path is not just his blood, but the blood of many people, including even the blood of Da Gan people. Blood...
"Why didn't you attack Daqian a hundred years ago?" After listening to Xia Qianjie's words, the original anger in the people's hearts slowly subsided...because they knew exactly why.
Because at that time, the Daqian Kingdom was very powerful, while the Motie Kingdom was very weak! Because the Daqian Kingdom was their benefactor, and in order to survive and avoid being destroyed, they could only rely on the Gan people!
It is even bluntly said that without the original Daqian Kingdom, there would be no Motie Kingdom at this time!
"Why didn't the Motie Kingdom conquer Daqian thirty years ago?" The reason is also very simple, because after the death of King Jie, the Motie Kingdom spent twenty years to cleanse the remnants one by one and regain the mountains and rivers, and it took nearly fifty years to gradually recover the mountains and rivers. Restore your strength and restore the splendor of a kingdom.
But thirty years ago, the remnants of King Jie who had been dormant for nearly seventy years actually started to cause rebellion again, and they were so violent that they should not be underestimated.
But fortunately, in the past seventy years, the Motie Kingdom has established a good relationship with the powerful Daqian Kingdom, and they have clung to this thigh that they must cling to. They don’t want to let their seventy years of hard work build it up His home was destroyed again, so he sent envoys to seek Daqian's help again.
At that time, the Daqian Kingdom was in its most prosperous era, because Yi Tianxing's cultivation at that time had reached the state of Nirvana, and the several divine generals he had personally trained were even more outstanding. The power of its country was so strong that It once aroused the favor of several surrounding countries, and even favored a transcendent power like Guiyuan Sect.
Daqian was indeed very powerful at that time, so when the Motie Kingdom asked them for help, the king of Daqian just waved his sleeves, and ten famous Daqian generals who had reached the true martial realm went to the desert. The Iron Kingdom easily captured and killed the thief leader, causing the rebellion to end without any problem...
The people slowly became silent thinking about these incomparably true histories that were recorded in the annals of history, and about the many stories that were widely circulated among the people, and were even written into poems and novels.
Silence, the entire law field was completely immersed in silence. And in the silence, only Xia Qianjie's voice, although weak, was still sonorous and powerful, sounded in the cold wind.
"We, the Daqian Kingdom, conspired with the Yuelun Principality to assassinate your King? And want to create civil strife and take the opportunity to annex your Motie Kingdom?" Ten years ago, the ground you stepped on was already owned by me, Da Gan!"
