The demon general looked at the envoy and said, "Thirty thousand miles of Mobei belong to us. You have to come up with some blood food to worship us every year."
What blood food is is self-evident.
That is countless human race people.
The messenger spoke tremblingly, "How many people do you need?"
The demon general stared at the messenger and sneered, "You have to ask that kid how many people he can give it to."
The envoy did not speak for a while. In fact, the court had discussed this condition once before coming. They knew what the demon clan needed, so at that time, the courtiers had already decided to agree to the demon clan.
Of course, the young emperor was always opposed to it at first.
But he is young after all, and he cannot endure for long in the face of reasons such as righteousness and the inheritance of his ancestors.
Besides, maybe from the bottom of his heart, he was even inclined to agree, but as an emperor, he couldn't say anything about many things.
The envoy said, "Then let me go back and discuss it with Your Majesty, and I will give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."
The demon general didn't speak, just waved his hand, then reached out to pick up the human skin on the ground, covered the messenger's body, and laughed.
The messenger smelled the pungent smell of blood and trembled all over, but he didn't dare to do anything and just retreated.
He was walking like this with a human skin on his head, and his whole body was extremely nervous. Compared with the unpleasant smell of blood, what actually made him more uncomfortable was that he was not treated as a human at all.
But in today's world, probably no one can say that they are human anymore.
They eat blood, they are pigs, dogs, and grass.
Chen Chao watched the envoy leave the tent with the human skin on his back and the demon clan's military camp without saying a word.
Lu Ji said, "He is also very pitiful."
Chen Chao said nothing and just walked towards the south.
He felt sad just looking at this place. It was hard to describe the sadness, and it made people feel extremely sad, because he could only look at it, and there was nothing he could do except look at it. Only those who have experienced it can understand this kind of pain.
…
…
The envoy returned to the new imperial capital, and the imperial court quickly held a court meeting. The courtiers finally let go of their worries. Since the demon clan said they could talk, it was the best thing.
As for how much it costs, it actually doesn't matter.
At least now the country is saved, and so are their lives.
Those who sacrificed have nothing to do with them, and their relatives and friends can still live well in this world.
So they are destined to have nothing to do
The law and people feel the same way.
At this court meeting, the discussion was never about whether something could be done, but how much should be done.
Finally, after the courtiers argued, the matter was settled.
The envoy knelt on the ground, looked at the young emperor and said, "Your Majesty, can you replace me with someone else for this mission?"
He knew that his infamy could no longer be washed away, and he could accept such a thing, but it was difficult for him to accept the humiliation he suffered from the demon clan.
The young emperor looked at him with no emotion in his eyes, "Since I have already been there once, I am familiar with Aiqing. Obviously, there is no one else more suitable than Aiqing."
The courtiers also spoke one after another and began to persuade. Their idea was very simple, that is, if the person in front of them didn't go, then someone among them would have to go.
Obviously, no one wants to do such a thing, and no one wants to leave such a reputation for themselves in the annals of history.
To be a scholar, you still need to have character.
Somewhat ridiculous.
Therefore, with the unanimous will of the courtiers and His Majesty the Emperor, the envoy set off again and headed north again.
But in a certain county in the south, the news was already known, so a parade led by scholars took place there.
The leading scholars surrounded the local government and shouted loudly that they could not cede the thirty thousand miles of Mobei to the demon clan.
Of course, they don't know much, because the fact that their compatriots are sent to the demon clan as blood and food every year is the biggest secret of the imperial court, and no one dares to tell outsiders.
In the government office, the local parents waved their hands indifferently, let the government officials out, and dispersed the group of scholars, but they still refused to leave, so they were beaten with sticks by the government officials, and people kept wailing on the street.
But these wailing sounds are actually insignificant compared to the wailing sounds of the people in the north.
Lu Ji said, "These scholars still have some character."
Chen Chao still didn't speak.
Lu Ji looked at Chen Chao. Now, he no longer knew what the young man in front of him was thinking. He seemed to be getting more and more silent, and he had a special feeling.
Chen Chao turned around and left.
Lu Ji chased after him and said, "No one wants what happened in those years to happen, but no one can do anything about it."
Chen Chaokan
Xiang Lu Ji said, "If the monks outside Fang take action, many people will die less."
Lu Ji said, "They are thinking about immortality and the great road. Of course, they cannot appear here, and they are destined not to do anything."
Chen Chao said, "I know."
Lu Ji said, "They are like this generation after generation. You probably won't have any hope in the future."
Chen Chao said nothing.
Will it be the same?
Probably not the same.
Because at this time, there is no Zhu Xia, no Yun Jian Yue, and no Yu Xiyi.
Of course, the most important thing is that at this time, Chen Chao didn't even exist.
But now there is.
Chen Chao said, "Go and see other things."
Lu Ji asked, "What else do you want to see?"
Chen Chao said, "Look at those people who really have a backbone."
…
…
Da Jin Dynasty will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame, although many times people know that it was never their intention to be like this, but they were just helpless.
But sometimes, being powerless is a mistake.
The peace talks were finally concluded. Dajin ceded 30,000 miles of Mobei and exchanged the blood and flesh of countless comrades every year for peace. However, he lost the support of the people. The young emperor also lost his ambition. He began to drink every day.
He was so sensual and lascivious that he finally died in the imperial palace at the age of thirty.
The new emperor also had no ambitions, and was even more stupid. For a while, the world was in chaos again.
Rebellions broke out all over the country, war broke out everywhere, and the Jin Dynasty finally reached the brink of collapse.
A new dynasty was established in the ruins of Dajin, but facing the monster clan in the north, they were also at a loss to do anything. They did not tear up the shameful contract and maintained it.
The life of the common people was also very miserable, and the world was also lifeless. Everyone seemed to be a zombie.
A long time passed like this.
The land is filled with smoke again.
Somewhere in the south, a young man joined the rebel army because he did not have enough to eat. Within a few years, he became the leader.
After that, his power continued to expand. Later, with the help of some nobles, he finally overthrew that dynasty and established his capital in that huge and powerful city.
The young man's name was Chen Lin, and the dynasty he established was called Daliang.
This young man later had a more resounding name in the world, called Daliang
Emperor Taizu Gao.
When he became the master of the world, he faced a very difficult problem immediately.
That is the contract signed between the previous dynasty and the demon clan. Do you want to abide by it?
At that time, a large number of courtiers poured into the imperial city. In the meeting hall, the young man, wearing a brand new imperial robe, looked at the courtiers present and asked, "What do you think?"
A minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, the new dynasty has just been established, and all kinds of wastes are rising. It will definitely not be a good thing for us to go to war with the demon clan at this moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to do this at this moment. If Your Majesty is determined to tear up the agreement, then the country may soon be overturned."
The courtiers all spoke one after another to persuade the young man not to act out of anger.
But the young man shook his head and said, "I don't think this is the truth. We can't live like this. If we live like this, then there will be no difference between Daliang and the previous dynasty. What we do is meaningless."
After saying this, Chen Lin waved his hand and said, "It is my decree that from now on, you will no longer offer blood food to the demon clan, form a border army, and always be on guard against the demon clan going south!"
The young emperor's determination made it impossible for anyone to say anything.
But everyone knows that if the demon clan still plans to go south at this time, then they will definitely not be able to defeat it. Could someone on this throne be just a passerby?
But it seems that due to luck, there was civil strife between the human race and the demon race this time, so they had no intention to care about the human race's affairs, so they gave Daliang a lot of time.
So Daliang built the Great Wall.
From then on, he began to resist the demon tribe from going south.
Lu Ji sighed, "Good luck, otherwise it would have been very troublesome."
Chen Chao looked at the high-spirited young man and said, "Maybe some people are destined to be lucky."
That young man is his ancestor, the blood of the Chen family, starting from him and continuing to the current Chen Dynasty.
Lu Ji said, "You seem to have an aura that others don't have."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Perhaps this is the reason why God chose the surname Chen in this world."
Lu Ji didn't know what to say.
Chen Chao saluted Lu Ji and said, "Senior's tea is delicious."
Lu Ji shook his head and said, "I just feel very bitter."
Chen Chao let out a breath of turbid air, "It's all bittersweet."
Then the young man stretched slightly in the hall in front of him.
The sky above the main hall was already filled with wind and clouds.
