Liu Yu's expression changed and he asked in surprise: "The ability to predict the future? Is this really possible?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Whether you or I believe it or not, everyone in the grassland believes this. I have told you before that the nomadic barbarians in the grassland are bloodthirsty, murderous, and advocate violence. It seems that there are no laws in the world that can restrain them.
But they also have the other side of being superstitious about ghosts and gods and reverent their ancestors. Because they believe that their strength comes from the blessings of ghosts and gods and ancestors. Gradually, each tribe has its own gods and objects of worship.
Tribes often worship mountains and rivers, and powerful tribes often worship gods, whether it is the White Horse God of the Qiang people, the Kunlun God of the Huns, or the Immortal God worshiped by the Xianbei people."
Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: "Eternal Life?"
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, even you Han people also worship heaven and the Emperor of Heaven. We believe that after the death of our ancestors, their souls go to heaven and become emperors of heaven to protect future generations, so they are immortal and live forever. This is called
Changshengtian, Canglang, our Murong tribe also believed in this before taking over the Central Plains. It was not until after the establishment of Dayan that we began to use your Han Confucianism, the Mandate of Heaven and the Five Elements. Maybe our country perished because of the loss of
Maybe it’s because of ancient traditions and beliefs.”
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "So, there will be existences like witches, as the messengers of this immortal heaven in the world? We Han people are more familiar with this game, let alone heaven, he is a vicious and top-level bad guy,
Even after death, he may be treated as a god. Isn’t there a ready-made god Chiang Ziwen and Chiang Kai-shek in my hometown in Jingkou?”
Murong Lan smiled: "Actually, these are all used to deceive people. I have seen a lot of those things that pretend to be gods and ghosts. However, this He Lanmin may really have some abilities. I think she may also
He really has the ability to predict the future."
Liu Yu was surprised and said: "You don't really believe in any emperor, ghosts or gods."
Murong Lan said seriously: "She once gave me a prophecy, saying that the most important man in my life will appear in the south, and that I will marry an unparalleled hero in the future, help him complete his great deeds, and give birth to an heir for him, and then...
…”
At this point, she suddenly stopped, and Liu Yu seemed to be able to see her hot face behind the mask, and said with a smile: "Because she was right about our matter, so you believe her?"
Murong Lan sighed: "Let me tell you the truth, every time I go back to the north, I will go to the grassland to find her, and her predictions are successful almost every time. Not only for me, but also for others, such as her predictions
I have predicted that my eldest brother will definitely restore the country, and he also predicted that Liu Weichen would rise in the north, and predicted Liu Kuren's death. Therefore, I can't help but believe it. Not only me, but also Liu Xian and the people on the grassland believe this. The Dugu tribe has arrived.
Before every battle, she has to predict the outcome. If she says she will lose, she will not fight and will flee elsewhere."
Liu Yu wanted to deny this with a wave of his hand, but suddenly he remembered that he had met the big snake god several times. Even when he was in Chang'an, when he was bewitched by Princess Qinghe's illusion, he had a vague out-of-body experience. Maybe this
Are there really any heavenly emperors, ghosts and gods in this world who come to arrange one's own destiny?
Murong Lan watched Liu Yu stop talking and fell into deep thought, and smiled slightly: "Actually, He Lanmin's beauty is unparalleled in the grassland, but she claimed that only by maintaining her virginity can she have this prophecy ability. If she loses it,
It is no longer possible to predict the future. So although Liu Xian has long coveted her, he dare not touch her."
Liu Yu sneered: "I'm afraid this is a way for her to protect herself. Are you familiar with He Lanmin? Maybe we can use this to control Liu Xian and act according to our wishes."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Of course, He Lanmin and I have been friends for many years, and I have helped her a lot. When I came to the grassland this time, I planned to use He Lanmin to control Liu Xian. What do you think now?
Yes, do you want to help Tuoba Gui or get rid of him? I will listen to you."
Liu Yu did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. From a character point of view, Tuoba Gui was talented and ruthless, and could betray everyone. His promises were absolutely not trustworthy, but from a profit point of view,
, Liu Xian was very happy with his achievements, but he was ungrateful. If he helped him get rid of Tuoba Gui, the grassland would be torn apart and he would no longer be able to pose a threat to Murong Chui.
Although he had promised Murong Lan not to fight for power anymore, he would definitely retaliate against Murong Chui for the murder of tens of thousands of Wuqiaoze's colleagues and the failure of the Northern Expedition. A man with clear grudges would retaliate against Murong Chui for helping Tuoba Gui succeed.
Sparing himself a favor and leaving Tuoba Gui as his enemy would give the Jin State the opportunity to eliminate this northern tycoon. This would prevent the Han people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan from suffering the tragic fate of the Han people in Hebei. This is my responsibility as a Han.
Bottom line and conscience.
As for Tuoba Gui's ambition, that is for the future. Judging from the current situation in the grassland, it is unlikely that he can unify the country quickly. Even if he can restore the Dai Kingdom, it will take decades of fighting. In other words, he is unlikely to unify the country quickly.
If there is an opportunity to go into the Central Plains to burn, kill and loot, the threat is smaller than that of Murong Chui. It may be the right choice to choose the lesser of the two evils and help Tuoba Gui stand on his own.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we cannot let the evil wolf Liu Weichen control the grassland. The Xiongnu Tiefu is ferocious and easy to kill. Even on the grassland, everyone is famous for his bad looks, let alone
What will happen if these evil wolves enter the Central Plains? Liu Xian seems to be unable to stop Liu Weichen and Tuoba Kudu. Only Tuoba Gui can, so now we still have to help Tuoba Gui to stand on his own feet and repel Liu Weichen. Let’s see what happens next.
Let’s take it one step at a time.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Murong Lan's eyes, and she sighed softly: "I hope you won't regret this decision in the future. You are my husband, and I will listen to you."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Okay, then arrange for He Lanmin to meet with me. I want to ask her to predict and make Liu Xian believe that success will only happen if Tuoba Gui is released."
Murong Lan stood up and walked out of the tent: "Okay, I'll go find her now. Cang Lang, you go to the small forest five miles to the west, and I will take her there."
Before he finished speaking, an urgent gong sound suddenly sounded outside, and hundreds of voices shouted at the same time: "Jiliwan, where are you? Jiliwan, where are you?"
Liu Yu's expression changed: "What's going on?"
Murong Lan frowned and murmured: "Ji Liwan? Isn't that Liu Xian's only son?"
