The battle ended after a quarter of an hour. The final result was that five members of the Jinyi Guards were injured and five of the enemy soldiers survived. The enemy was destroyed before Li Chongyi even reached the mountainside.
Jaw-dropping!
How come you only have this little fighting power?
Li Mu couldn't believe his eyes. Before he could sigh for a while, he suddenly ran up the hillside and shouted loudly: "Who is Soga Ezo? Who is it? Is he dead?"
When Li Mu shouted, he used Chinese. Japanese nobles were proud to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. So don't worry, Soga Ezo won't understand.
"It's me, don't kill me -" Soga Ezo said in a trembling voice. He was already mentally torn. This round of volleys of arrows were like raindrops. There was no place to hide. He had already caught one.
His men acted as backs, but the crossbow arrows still penetrated the backs and penetrated half of his body. Although it did not kill him, the tearing pain caused by the barbs of the arrows still made him miserable.
However, it is better to die than to live. Although he can live, he still doesn't want to die.
Li Mu walked up to Soga Ezo and took a look at him. His eyes were sunken and he looked like he had a weak kidney. Judging from his age, he was about forty. He didn't look like a capable person. But he could indeed control the Japanese country.
The candidate for the emperor, the powerful Soga Ezo, was chosen because Li Mu saw the birthmark on his neck.
What Ribei said, there is a red birthmark on Soga Ezo's neck, this cannot be faked.
"Okay, it's you." Li Mu waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei killed the remaining four people. Soga Ezo's eyes were about to burst, and he cried out: "Why do you want to kill them?"
"Why?" Li Mu sneered: "Didn't you see how many of my brothers were injured? If you hurt my brothers, let's forget it? If you don't kill them, why don't you keep them?"
Soga Ezo's teeth are almost broken. If you hurt a few of you, you will kill someone to vent your anger. What should I say here? Almost all the people I brought here died, and you only injured a few. Is this fair?"
"Hit me if you don't accept it?" Li Mu waved his hand impatiently, and two guards came over and picked up Soga Ezo. They didn't care whether it hurt or not, and directly pulled out the barbed arrow, drawing blood.
It burst out, bringing out a piece of flesh and blood. Soga Ezo screamed and fainted from the pain.
Kinyiwei tore off the clothes on the dead body and simply bandaged Soga Ezo. Then, he carried him to the old miner.
When the old miner saw Soga Ezo, he was so frightened that he lost his soul. He collapsed on the ground, looked up at Li Mu, and stammered, unable to say a word.
"Do you know what to do?"
The old miner was stunned for a moment, then a look of determination appeared on his face. He wiped away his snot and tears and shouted: "Ha Yi!"
After that, he pulled out a dagger from somewhere on his body and stabbed himself in the heart.
Li Chongyi reached out and grabbed his arm. The dagger stopped an inch away from his heart, and he could no longer move forward even a little bit.
Li Mu was furious and said, "Did I ask you to stab yourself to death?"
The old miner was stunned, and then he seemed to understand, and stabbed Soga Ezo in the heart with the dagger. Li Mu was really impatient. Why are there so many self-righteous people in the world?
He raised his foot and kicked the old miner, kicking aside the dagger in his hand: "I asked you to lead the way, and work as you lead!"
The old miner understood this sentence, he sighed, and trotted ahead to lead the way, not daring to be any more thoughtful.
Li Mu left ten people to dispose of the body, and the remaining people continued to move forward. No matter when Soga Ezo wakes up, the mine will still have to be found. At the same time, Li Mu also sent two people back to the camp to take a look at the camp.
Although the possibility of something happening is very small, what if something happens? If something happens, he will have to become the emperor of Japan. This joke is not funny.
After walking for another hour, they finally arrived at the mine the old miner was talking about. Li Mu looked around and was a little confused. He couldn't tell what kind of mine was in the mine. Just when he was at his wits' end, the snake spirit in his mind suddenly shouted
called him.
Li Mu yawned and asked Li Chongyi to arrange for the Jinyi guards to set up the tent. He huddled into the sleeping bag he had sewn and took a nap, but his consciousness entered the system space and met the snake spirit.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me when nothing happens? What is the urgent matter that you can't talk about when you go to bed at night?"
"I'm trying to help you, but I have to wait until you have time? Are you being unreasonable or not?" Snake Spirit snorted. Its current form is that of a cardamom girl. There is a delicate and delicate air in every gesture.
Which templates are mixed to create the model.
Fortunately, Li Mu's five wives are all beautiful and beautiful, so they are not confused.
"Is there any skill in the system that can help?"
"Isn't this it?" Snake Spirit reached out and grabbed a scroll, threw it to Li Mu, and like a magic trick, made two candied fruits. Li Mu finally knew who she was imitating. Wasn't this imitating Li Zhien?
"Stop imitating my woman, or I'll beat you up," Li Mu threatened angrily. He glanced at the skill book, was stunned for a moment, and then patted himself on the head.
Why are you so stupid? The basic skill is this. The initial skill of mining skill, which can be learned with only five coins of silver, is prospecting. Isn’t it just right?
Li Mu ignored Snake Spirit, quickly learned the skill, and then exited the system space.
Seeing that he was awake, Li Chongyi took the barbecue from the campfire and handed it to Li Mu to signal him to eat.
"I won't eat it, you can eat it." Li Mu grabbed a handful of beef jerky and said, "I can just chew this." He glanced at the unconscious Soga Ezo and said, "Two of you are coming with me. Keep an eye on him."
, don’t let him die, this man is still useful.”
Li Chongyi nodded and ordered his subordinates: "Come two people, follow my eldest brother and protect my eldest brother."
Li Mu glanced at the old miner who was hiding in the corner and shivered, and called him too. The old miner thought Li Mu was going to kill him, so he cried and begged for mercy. After being whipped by Li Mu, he became obedient and followed his fate as if accepting his fate.
behind him.
Li Mu activated the prospecting skill, and what he saw in his field of vision changed.
Everything is shining, some are strong and some are weak. As Li Mu's thoughts move, the light disappears and turns into some light spots, which are connected into a patch of light.
He looked at the ground, as if his sight could penetrate the surface. He saw a silvery ore belt that was winding forward. The silvery light was like substance, piercing his eyes and causing tears to fall. It fell on the old miner's eyes.
Here, these are undoubtedly crocodile tears.
Looks like I'm going to die today!
Li Mu sneered and said, "Are you asking me this? In all likelihood, the war was started by you Tubo people. This is a fact!"
"This is what I hate most about Tubo." Gemu sighed and said, "Master, you should know that although Tubo has a vast territory, there are not many places where food can be grown. There are cattle and sheep, but there are no good pastures or products.
It is barren. On the entire plateau, there is no powerful tribe like the Tang Dynasty to unify the plateau, so each place is independent."
"Because pasture and cultivated land are limited, everyone has to fight in order to compete for land, pasture, and water sources. If you win the war, you can get pasture, cultivated land, and slaves. If you lose the war, you can also kill some people and reduce the food supply of your tribe.
Consumption——"
At this point, Gemu couldn't talk anymore. He was silent for a while before continuing: "I can understand all of this, but what I can't understand is that sometimes, it's not about fighting for pasture or farmland, or just simply
In order to reduce the population, they also fight wars!"
Gemu gritted his teeth and said: "When I was seven years old, I heard my father and several uncles discussing whether they should find an excuse to fight a war and clean up the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe. With the elders
Nine times out of ten, the wars of the Tang Dynasty had this purpose, because they knew that the Tang Dynasty did not bother to occupy Tubo. It did not matter whether they won or lost the war, but as long as they fought, they could reduce the population and cope with the pressure of winter.
It’s too small. This is why most of the wars between Tang Dynasty and Tubo took place in autumn!”
Gemu shed tears and said: "They don't regard people as human beings at all! In their eyes, people are worse than a cow or a sheep! I don't like this, and I don't want to be such a person!"
"When I came to the Tang Dynasty, I learned a lot. I learned what etiquette is, what law is, what righteousness is, and what filial piety is. I think living in such a country, Tubo, is really too cruel."
Li Mu stared at Gemu blankly. Before, he had always thought that Gemu was the kind of brash man with muscles in his head who would do things straightforwardly without thinking too much. But looking at his words and deeds today, he seemed to be someone who hid his bitterness.
In his heart, he is a person with a bit of forbearance. His thoughts coincide with Li Mu. Li Mu hates slavery very much. Although under the feudal system, the human rights of the people are not greatly protected, at least the people still have
There is no choice but the people under the slavery system are no longer human beings at all.
The reason why humans are human is that they are different from livestock. Anyone who becomes a livestock himself or treats humans as livestock should not exist in this world.
Gemu's idea is already an improvement compared to his father and uncles. This is the progress from slavery to feudalism, which is also a big leap in human history.
What Li Mu needs to do now is to encourage him and give him confidence. If he can help him complete this matter, it can also bring peace to the border of Datang for decades.
The idea of settling things once and for all has never occurred to Li Mu, because it is impossible. The general trend of the world is that if it unites for a long time, it must divide and unite for a long time. Maybe one day when Li Shimin is here, one day when Li Mu is here, one day when Gemu is here, Tubo and Da
Tang can maintain peace, but when the creators of the contract are gone, the so-called peace will eventually be broken.
But that's the way it is, you can't stop doing it just because it will fail one day. Peace is very valuable even if it is short-lived.
Li Mu stood up, pulled Gemu up, and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only for those who are willing. Now your identity is your greatest support. I will help you succeed to the throne, do you dare to try to change your country?"
Transform it into something you like!”
"I……"
"I'm just asking you, do you dare?"
"Dare!" Gemu didn't hesitate anymore. Suddenly, he seemed to understand what it was like to be a man, and he seemed to understand what the direction he should work towards!
Ikkyu, who was watching this scene from the side, stopped sweeping. He stood for a while, as if he had remembered something, and his eyes were filled with confusion. After a while, he resumed sweeping the floor and continued sweeping.
In the evening, after working hard all day, the two of them could finally take a rest. Li Mu asked someone to bring a table of meals, and the three masters and apprentices ate together. Li Mu rested all day and had no consumption, so his appetite was naturally not enough.
Go, and the two of them wolfed down the food. They were both old and healthy. How could they not be hungry after working for a day?
After finishing the meal, it was already evening. Li Mu watched the two of them clear away the leftovers, and then called them over.
Li Mu turned his back to the setting sun, and the afterglow enveloped him, as if a god descended from heaven. He seemed to understand more and more what he should strive for!
