Mu Xingri's hands were tied behind his back and he was thrown into the firewood shed of the rural school.
There were several subordinates with him.
At dawn, Mu Xingri woke up with a heavy head and realized his situation.
"I'm a thief, this doctor from Xinyi doesn't want to live anymore!"
Mu Xingri's face was full of anger, and his teeth were almost broken by him.
Hu Moliu twisted his body, crawled over, and whispered: "Xiao Wang, be careful, don't be heard by those Xinyi people."
"My brother's army is at the foot of the mountain. If they dare to do anything to me, my brother will massacre Xinyi!"
Mu Xingri's elder brother Mu Luotian is the "king" of Yiluozhirong, so Mu Xingri is also called the "little king".
"This Xin You rushed into the king's camp the day before yesterday. I thought he was just thinking about women. I didn't expect that he would dare to attack us today. It seems like he is really a fool."
"As a senior official in the city, he does not consider his own people, but is greedy for beauty. With such ministers, the Emperor of Zhou will not be able to sit on the throne for long."
The Yiluo Rong were located in the hinterland of the Zhou Kingdom and had deep cultural exchanges with the Central Plains. Some of their ministers were even nobles within the Kingdom.
Therefore, their thinking of doing things is similar to that of Zhou people.
"That's true. I heard that after the prince went south, the emperor was still hiding in Diquan City and did not dare to return to the royal city."
"Hey...it's all Jin's fault!" Mu Xingri sighed: "If they hadn't intervened, Wang Zichao would have defeated Wang Zijai."
The Iroh Rong have a close relationship with the prince who fled south.
They are one of the important allies of the Prince Dynasty. If the Prince Dynasty had not failed, today's Yiluo Zhirong might have emerged from the mountains and forests and become real princes.
"If we can really occupy the Qingshui River, we Yiluo people will no longer have to run around like this, and we can farm as safely as the Zhou people."
The Qingshui River is the river channel where Xinyi and Puyi are located. It was formed by the impact of the Qingshui River.
The soil here is fertile and the land is flat, making it very suitable for planting.
The Yiluo people live in the mountains in the south and have coveted this area for a long time.
Mu Xingri said: "Don't worry, the king is not an ordinary person. When he was born, my father asked an internal historian of the royal family to divine for him. He said that when the king was born, Taibai violated the Sui star, which meant that he had a destiny.
People can lead us Yiluozhirong to the Central Plains!"
"Yes! As long as the king is here, we Yiluo people will definitely be able to walk out of that forest!"
"Shhh... someone seems to be coming outside."
One person said.
Mu Xingri shouted: "You're here just in time! Hurry up and ask that bastard Xin You to bring me food! I'm starving to death!"
The footsteps outside stopped when they reached the door.
"Inside, stop shouting! Our doctor said that we will only give you one meal a day, so as not to waste our food in Xinyi! Just wait!"
"What!? Xin isn't afraid that we soldiers will come and kill him?"
Mu Xingri shouted and almost stood up.
"Afraid of you? I won't arrest you if I'm afraid of you! Our..."
"Shut up!"
Another mature voice yelled: "Don't talk to Rong people!"
"Okay, uncle."
The younger man quickly restrained himself and guarded the door with his uncle.
"Aren't you afraid of us?"
Mu Xingri looked at Hu Moliu next to him: "What does that kid mean when he says he's not afraid of us?"
"Xiao Wang, could it be that they asked for reinforcements?"
"No way! We have blocked all the roads going down the mountain, and the smoke can't be ignited. How can they deliver the message?"
"Could it be the smoke that was lit after the beacon tower was taken away from us?"
"That's stupid. In that case, my eldest brother would kill you right away."
…
Several people talked for a long time and felt that things were different from what they thought.
"Hu Moliu, the voice of the man outside sounds familiar. Do you recognize him?"
"It seems that Xinnan, the feathered man from Xinyi, came to our mountains to collect the feathers of birds and beasts."
Hu Moliu said.
The so-called feather people are those who collect the feathers of birds and animals and use them as tribute.
On weekdays when there were no disasters, Rong people and Zhou people actually still had some contact with each other.
Just like between countries, there is even a custom of intermarriage in some places.
Mu Xingri winked at him, and Hu Moliu twisted his body and came to the door.
"It's from outside, brother Xin Nan?"
"Huh? It's me. Are you...Rongren Hu Moliu?"
"Yes! My brother and I have fished in the upper reaches of Qingshui River together!"
Hu Moliu had a flattering smile on his face.
"Hey, you are alive. I thought Kong Si killed you."
Xin Nan laughed a few times.
The young man said: "Uncle, didn't you say you can't talk to Rong people?"
"You can't, of course I can, just chatting for a few words." Xin Nan didn't care.
"Is that really Kong Si? Is this guy a human or a ghost?" Hu Moliu said.
"A ghost-like person, or a human-like ghost, if it weren't for our gentleman's order, you would have been chopped into pieces by that guy."
Hu Moliu couldn't help but shiver.
This is the truth.
"By the way, do you still have the fox skins at home? I'd like to find a few before winter comes."
"Well, there are still two red fox skins, but the white ones are gone."
…
"Ahem."
Mu Xingri coughed a few times and reminded Hu Moliu not to chat.
"By the way, brother. Are you, the doctor in this city, crazy? Do you want to start a war with us?"
"Haha, you guys are just here to trick me."
Xin Nan smiled and said, "What a pity, I won't tell you."
"You... brother. Anyway, I'm locked up by you again. It's just a way to relieve my boredom. Are you, the doctor in Yi, crazy?"
"Hey, Doctor Yi is not crazy, but very smart!"
"Smart? Could it be that...he found a way to call reinforcements?"
"That's..."
After Xin Nan finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth.
"Uncle! Why did you tell the doctor that he called for reinforcements? Now we are in big trouble!"
The young man said in a panic.
"It's okay, it's okay, they can't escape." Xin Nan laughed a few times: "Hu Mo Liu is an acquaintance of mine, he won't tell anyone, right?"
"Of course, of course... But brother, since you said it, I would like to know how you called reinforcements?"
"I don't know what it is called. It seems that the Yi doctor has cast some witchcraft. As you know, we descendants of the Xin family have been historians of the royal family for generations. We also served as great historians for a time and were named 'Chang Gong'."
', The clan has lived in the palace for a long time, and has a lot of ancient books. Maybe there are some strange methods."
Xin Nan explained to the door.
After hearing this, Hu Moliu nodded.
People in the Spring and Autumn Period still believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.
"How many reinforcements did you call?"
"A thousand people from Puyi and a thousand people from Ganlu have arrived at Xinyi." Xin Nan said: "If you ask me, you will be finished this time..."
Two thousand people!
Hu Moliu was so frightened that he fell over.
At the same time, he saw Mu Xingri's pale face.
Unexpectedly, Xin called for reinforcements again!
"Also, our gentleman is extremely smart. He plans to light a beacon fire this afternoon and pretend to ask for reinforcements. Just to attract your army..."
Xinnan continued.
"Nonsense! We guarded all the intersections, how did your reinforcements come here?!"
"Hey, all intersections? Xiao Wang, whose surname is Mu, can you guard the cliff in the south? There is a secret passage built by us in Xinyi, which you can climb up..."
"Impossible, impossible..."
Mu Xingri couldn't believe his ears: "I have to tell my big brother this news!" This chapter has been completed!
