"Has everyone seen the Tang army at the mountain gate?"
"That's too much!"
"For many years, the Han people have been oppressing us Miao people. The territory of the Miao people has been reduced again and again. Less than half of the original Sanjiang land is now alive. As the leader of the Snake Spirit Cult, I feel deeply ashamed. I feel deeply sorry for the ancestors of all generations.
People! But the imperial court is powerful and the Miao territory is weak. For the livelihood of the people, we have to devote ourselves to survival!"
When the Miao people in Shibawu, Jiuxiang heard this, they all had tears in their eyes. Since the unification of the Central Plains in the Sui Dynasty, hasn't the life of the Miao people been like this? It turns out that the leader is not unaware, he is bearing the burden of humiliation.
!
Dugujiu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He couldn't help but be impressed by his acting skills. He was really getting better and better.
"Gou Quan was trying to save his life, which is more tragic than this. But I never expected that the despicable and shameless Tang people would produce a monster like Li Mu. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was stupid and appointed such sycophants. Exorbitant taxes and levies were piled up one after another. Now we Miao people,
As long as you leave the village, you have to pay money - euphemistically called tolls! Is this still a living thing?!"
"Can we still survive in days like this?!"
"Can't! Can't! Can't!"
Everyone shouted loudly, no matter they were Bai Miao or Wumiao, they all shared the same hatred at this moment.
Li Mu threw Cui Yuzheng's body on the ground, pulled his hair, and made him kneel straight: "The man kneeling on the ground is Luoyang Marquis Li Mu who came up with countless exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes to make our Miao family live a difficult life. What he said this time
When I came to Miao Territory, I was under the emperor's order. I wanted to take advantage of Ruosuojie and Jiuxiang Shibawu to catch us all in one fell swoop. By then, the imperial court would be able to completely assimilate Miao Territory.
If this treacherous plot succeeds, there will no longer be any Miao family, and they will all become Han families!"
Li Mu raised his arms and shouted: "Can we Miao people accept this kind of thing?!"
"Can't! Can't! Can't!"
Just when everyone was united, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "The leader atones... You are also a Han!"
"Han!" Li Mu laughed loudly: "What a Han! Although I am a Han, I am the leader of the Miao territory chosen by the Snake Spirit. From the moment I became the leader of the Snake Spirit, who dares to say that I am not a Miao?
"Since you doubt me, that's good!" Li Mu stretched out his hand, and Dugu Jiu handed him a scimitar that he found from the man in brown clothes. Li Mu unsheathed the sword, raised it with his hand, and Cui Yuzheng's head fell to the ground.
.
The scene fell silent.
"I have killed the Luoyang Marquis of the imperial court. Now, do you trust me?"
When the two speakers, Bai and Wu, saw this, their hearts trembled. They were not young people who had been fooled by Li Mu. They could still distinguish the pros and cons clearly. They knew who Li Mu was, and they had just been caught by the leader.
Li Mu was secretly happy. Because if they got 'Li Mu' in their hands, they could use 'Li Mu' as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the court. With 'Li Mu''s status in the heart of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even if they could not obtain benefits, they would definitely
can resolve this crisis.
But now, the leader's sword fell from his hand, and Li Mu's head fell to the ground. Things were about to become completely uncontrollable. Li Mu was now an undisputed important minister in the imperial court. He died in Miao territory, at the hands of the leader of Snake Spirit.
, no matter how you say this, it is an act of declaring war, which is tantamount to rebellion!
Even if it was just for the sake of Tian Khan's face, the imperial court would definitely send troops. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks last year and made good relations with the Western Turks. There are no equal enemies in the four borders. This year, most areas of the Central Plains have good weather and food supplies.
The harvest was good, and there was no shortage of food and grass when the war started. Although the Miao Territory had a good harvest this year, how much surplus could there be from the harvest in the mountain terraces? Compared with the imperial court, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Compared with the millions of troops of the Tang Dynasty, the Miao people, who totaled only 4 to 50 million in total, were using an egg to hit a rock and a mantis to use its arms as a chariot!
The leader’s move is simply seeking death!
But at this time, the people around them were already ignited by Li Mu's words. If they said what was in their hearts, the people around them would swallow them up without Li Mu saying anything. The two looked at each other, two people who had never dealt with each other for half their lives.
The old man has rarely reached a tacit understanding at this time.
The two of them kept silent and started shouting along with the crowd.
"I killed this beast today to tell the people of the Tang Dynasty that the Miao people must not be bullied and the Miao people must not be humiliated! The traitor Li Mu will not let us live, and we will never let him live easy. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is stupid and incompetent, so we will let him rise
Improve your memory!"
"Today, Miao rebelled!"
All the young people were so excited that they all shouted hysterically: "It's against the law! It's against the law——"
Li Mu nodded happily and said: "Good men of the Miao village! Disperse first, go back to your respective places, and eat well. When daybreak, follow the leader of the sect to retreat from the enemy!"
"Follow the leader to the death!"
Li Mu winked at Dugujiu, who took Cui Yuzheng's head, dragged his arm with the other hand, and dragged him away. The other secret guards also dragged one by one to clean up the body in the small courtyard.
Clean.
Soon, he found a secluded place. The secret guards worked together, quickly dug a big pit and threw the bodies in. Li Mu unscrewed a fire twister, and the sparks were reddish. Li Mu still put the fire twister on Cui Yuzheng's body.
On the corpse, the clothes stained with tung oil were caught on fire by sparks. Huge flames rose into the sky, emitting the unique smell of burnt proteins.
Li Mu squatted by the pit, watching the flames burning, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to light a cigarette.
When he faced Cui Yuzheng just now, he had been forced into a desperate situation with no solution. No matter what he did, it seemed wrong. But he died so suddenly. A thought suddenly popped up in Li Mu's head,
Could it be that God takes care of every time traveler to some extent? I can be regarded as enjoying the halo of the protagonist?
As an opponent, Li Mu knew that he should not have any sympathy for Cui Yuzheng. But when he really died, Li Mu suddenly felt that Cui Yuzheng was also a pitiful person. From beginning to end, he could not live a single day in his life.
In a normal life, you get nothing you want.
Li Mu still remembered the way Cui Yuzheng ran out when he heard that Wang Ou was about to give birth. He could see that Cui Yuzheng had affection for Wang Ou and cared about the child very much.
What a shame, what a shame!
Sadly, that’s the end of it.
The enemy is the enemy, and the opponent is the opponent. Li Mu is not a holy mother, and he still has good thoughts towards the enemy. He is just discussing the matter and expressing a little sentiment.
"When the fire is out, cover the hole."
Once the feelings are over, it has passed.
…
Back in the small courtyard, the secret guards sent by Dugujiu brought the secret letter sent by Tang Jian. The direction of things was completely different from what was promised. Tang Jian was a little confused now and didn't know what to do next.
.
Li Mu actually didn't know what to do. He had just pretended to be Cui Yuzheng, and his most basic idea was just to retreat first from the Miao people blocking the door. He really didn't think about how to clean up the mess.
Don't say that he is a fake Snake Spirit Leader. Even if he is the real Snake Spirit Leader, he will not choose to rebel as he said. There is no possibility at all, unless he really doesn't want to live anymore.
Who would think so hard?
Moreover, Wang Ou has deep feelings for Miao Jiang. She is unconscious now, how can Li Mu bear to put her in a treacherous situation?
Li Mu thought for a while, wrote a few lines of words, and handed them to Dugujiu, asking him to send someone to deliver them to Tang Jian.
The words of rebellion have been shouted out. For now, let's finish the drama.
…
Li Mu guarded Wang Ou until Chenshi, but she still didn't wake up. The baby had already woken up from hunger. Fortunately, Wang Ou was prepared. He was afraid that he would not have enough milk for the first pregnancy, so he had already prepared a dozen wet nurses on Sheling Mountain.
.They do not live in the small courtyard, and what happened last night did not affect them in any way. After the Miao people surrounding the small courtyard dispersed, Li Mu asked Zhenyu to call people over and feed the child milk.
"Sorry to trouble you." Li Mu handed Wang Ou to Zhen Yu and walked out of the house with a tired look on his face. He made an appointment with the Miao people from Jiuxiang Shibawu to fight off the enemy together at dawn, and now is the time.
.
"Brother, I think it is better for us to work together inside and outside. I have observed that the Miao people in Shibawu, Jiuxiang, also have leaders. If we control these leaders, the others will be scattered and there is nothing to worry about."
"I know," Li Mu said while applying make-up on his face: "Of course it is easy to defeat these Miao people, but does it solve the problem? You kill all the leaders, Jiuxiang Shibawu is still there,
Hundreds of thousands of Miao people are still there. They will soon elect a new leader, and they still will not accept the imperial court. On the contrary, they will form a deadly feud with the imperial court because of this incident. By that time, the Miao people will
Things are even more difficult to handle.”
"Brother, I don't understand." Dugujiu didn't need to hide anything in front of Li Mu: "There are only a few Miao people, and they are about the same as the population of Luoyang City. How can we, the Tang Dynasty, be afraid of it?
Can we defeat them? I don’t believe it. Do they really dare to rebel?”
Li Mu had already finished putting on makeup, sorted out the leader's clothes, and said to Dugu Jiu: "Love is not accumulated in a day or two, and the same is true of hatred. Today, the gap between Miao and Han is so big that freezing three feet did not last in a day.
If this problem is not resolved, the preparedness and suspicion between the two sides will never stop. Cui Yuzheng is the person who sits back and watches the situation develop indifferently. He has the responsibility, but it is not decisive. It is him who really made the situation what it is now.
Good brother. It just so happens that both sides need a punching bag and a step to step down from. Now is the time to find this step."
Dugujiu had heard about Cui Yuyan and said, "That kid must have run away a long time ago. The Miao territory is so big. Where can I find him? Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Don't worry, he can't escape anywhere."
Dugujiu didn't understand: "Brother has been prepared?" After a pause, he asked again: "Besides us, did eldest brother bring anyone else here?"
"Of course I didn't bring it with me," Li Mu said with a smile, "Don't guess, it's Pang Da. After the beast tide passed yesterday, Pang Da went to look for Cui Yuyan. Don't worry, it won't be lost."
What Li Mu said was not a lie. Yesterday he used the skill King of Beasts. Panda's experience value increased steadily, and his level had exceeded level 20. It happened that he could learn new pet skills again, and Li Mu just thought of it.
To track Cui Yuyan, Panda learned a "tracking" skill. With this skill, it is impossible for Panda to lose him as long as he is within a certain distance.
It carries a signpost stone with it, and Li Mu can find him wherever he goes.
When the brothers came out of the small courtyard, the Miao people from Shibawu in Jiuxiang were already waiting. (Refreshed at 0:00)
