May is the season of spring plowing, and the earth is sprouting with life. To the east of the Holy Mountain is desolation and fighting, while on the west side of the Holy Mountain is lushness and tranquility. Hundreds of thousands of Mexican farmers are busy in the fields, sowing hope for the year.
Thousands of alliance militiamen carried food on their backs and struggled to transport supplies to the north and south to supply the army.
Looking along the grain transport team, you can see the starting point of the north-south grain road, which is the magnificent capital city in the lake! Hundreds of canoes are constantly busy, transporting grain and military supplies to the shore, and under the supervision of samurai
Get off and hand it over to the transport militiamen.
Lake Texcoco is glowing with light, like a floor-to-ceiling silver mirror, shining on the prosperity of the world. At the end of the lake, the big market in the North City has been strictly controlled! All grain, copper and obsidian have been confiscated by the alliance.
No leakage is allowed during the Eastern Expedition!
Although the Battle of the Eastern Expedition seemed to be devastating, it was actually a battle that truly overturned the nation. At this time, only four thousand royal warriors were stationed in the capital city of Nuoda, focusing on guarding the palace and temple area in the center.
"You must believe in my god Huitzilopochtli! He is supreme and omnipotent! May he protect the kingdom, everything goes well in the Eastern Expedition, and the old enemies of the alliance are destroyed!"
Entering the palace area, the devout prayers of women could be heard from the mansions of nobles everywhere, accompanied by burning rosin and sacred smoke. In this Eastern Expedition, every noble house in the capital sent warriors, and even father and son participated in the war at the same time.
It can be said that it is a big success in the country!
"Praise the Lord God! God bless the alliance! The priests have been doing divination for days, and the battle on the front line is going well!"
A dozen low-level priests held wooden boards high and ran out of the temple area. Their faces were full of joy, and they kept announcing the good news of good fortune in divination, soothing the hearts of the nobles and common people.
In the temple area, in front of a gorgeous and vast house, two priests in rich costumes are waiting patiently. One of them is older, with gray eyebrows and hair, and the other is younger, with very handsome features.
It was already afternoon. According to the alliance's practice, the distinguished priests and elders had already gone home to rest and were no longer busy. However, the two waited for a long time before a low-level priest walked out of the house and responded with a cold expression.
"Priests from Cholula! Dear gods, the priests and elders of Ugel don't have time. You can go back!"
"Ah?! Why don't you have time?"
The young priest raised his brows and wanted to move forward to argue. He was the son of an elder priest, and he had never received such a cold reception in the holy city of Cholula.
"boom!"
Several temple warriors who were guarding the palace of the priests and elders all pulled out their war sticks. Their expressions were cold and they pointed their war sticks at an angle, intending to come forward.
"Weiqi, come back! Wait, don't do anything!"
The elder priest Kuio frowned, and quickly stretched out his hand to drag the young priest Weiqi back. Then, he reached into his arms, fumbled for a while, took out a small turquoise, and approached with skillful steps, quickly
A flash.
"This priest..."
"Give them all to me..."
The low-level priest Sipili raised his brows, and before he spoke, his hands felt warm and smooth. He glanced down, immediately stopped talking, and put away the high-grade turquoise calmly.
"O Lord God! These priests from Cholula are really rich!..."
"Ahem, this priest."
The priests and elders of Kuio suppressed the irritability in their hearts and asked with a smile.
"Priest Elder Ugel, why are you so busy recently? An old friend from the holy city of Cholula came to visit three times, but you couldn't spare any time?..."
"this..."
Priest Sipili was hesitant, or maybe he was just pretending to be hesitant.
"cough."
The priests and elders of Kuio did not hesitate and took another look in their hands.
"Why!"
Priest Sipili remained calm, with a smile on his face.
"Dear Elder Cholula, you don't know something. Elder Wugel has been extremely busy recently! Although he is at home now, he has no energy to meet you."
"Um..."
Hearing this, the priests and elders of Kuio frowned. He reached into his arms again and asked in a low voice.
"I wonder what Elder Wugel is busy with?"
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Priest Sipili's expression immediately became serious. His face became stiff, as if it was caught by the door panel. He waved his hand again and gave direct instructions to the warriors.
"Drive them away with the edgeless side of your war stick!"
The incident happened suddenly. The elder priest of Kuio was still stunned on the spot, and he was hit by a war stick. His old face was throbbing with pain, and he could hardly breathe. This time, it was the turn of the priest Weiqi to be in a hurry and drag the elder away.
Come out. When they left the door, the temple warriors guarding the house stopped chasing them away.
Both of them were hit hard several times, wincing in pain while looking at each other.
"Elder Kuio, what did you just say? Why did that low-level priest suddenly turn his back?"
Young Weiqi was a little puzzled. He looked at Sipili who was walking away in a hurry. He walked into the courtyard and disappeared in two steps, as if there was wind under his feet.
"I just asked what Elder Wugel is doing."
Elder Kuio gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He thought carefully for a long time, but still couldn't figure out where he had violated a taboo.
"Elder Kuio, the other party is unwilling to meet. So what should we do? We have been preparing for so long..."
Weiqi lowered his voice again, a little anxious. The two of them had been planning for a long time, and with extremely precious artifacts, they prepared words to attract people's hearts, but they couldn't even see the person's face, so they couldn't put in the effort at all!
"...Now, all the important towns in the north and south of the Tlaxcala people have fallen...The holy city of Cholula can't afford to delay it! Otherwise, we go find the high priest?"
"Huh? Weezy, you idiot!"
Elder Kuio's eyes widened, he raised his hand and hit Weiqi on the face, knocking him unconscious.
"We can't go to the high priest even if we do nothing! That's asking for death! But we have to..."
"...Yes, I was stupid!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Weiqi pursed his lips and bowed his head respectfully to admit his mistake.
"...Then, what should we do now?"
"what to do..."
Elder Kuio gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and finally made a decision.
"Since Ugel's path is dead, for now, only the last person is left!"
"Ah? There is another person."
Weiqi was a little surprised.
"Elder Quaio, who is he?"
"Haha, who is he?"
Elder Kuio chuckled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice.
"A person who also looks at divine power and wants divine power!..."
In the mansion of the priests and elders, Sipili lowered his head and walked forward in silence. Along the way were precious flowers, fragrant mahogany, and sidewalks paved with bricks and stones. The houses on both sides of the road were filled with exquisite stone and jade carvings.
There are also shining gold and silverwares, which is simply unspeakably rich.
Sipili's expression remained unchanged, he had long been accustomed to these things. No matter how gorgeous, prosperous, and attractive it was, it was the wealth of a big man and had nothing to do with him, a little man.
Soon, the little man came to the big man, stood with his head bowed respectfully, and waited with a smile on his face.
"Hey! These days are really suffering!..."
The slightly fat Ugel was lying on a cotton blanket, opening the priest's robe, with a frown on his face.
Two beautiful girls were fanning him slowly with large palm leaves. On the red wooden board on his left side were placed exquisite desserts and dried fruits, and in the jade furnace on his right side, expensive candles were burning.
After a while, Wugel took a long breath, took a relaxing breath of the divine smoke, and asked casually.
"Have you sent away the two people who came from Cholula?"
"Dear priests and elders, they all left wisely."
Sipili saluted respectfully. He quietly touched the turquoise in his sleeve, his expression unchanged.
"Well, just leave, just leave! It's already this time, how can I care about Cholula's life or death!"
Wugel stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of dried fruit, threw it into his mouth, and tasted it, but it was sour and bitter.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Sipili's brows twitched and he quickly lowered his head. As soon as he looked at the expressions of the priests and elders, he knew that he was about to get angry.
Sure enough. After a while, Ugel became furious, pointed at the fruit residue on the ground, and cursed angrily.
"You sour and bitter fruit dregs, you don't have any taste at all. Let's see who the fool comes to eat you!...Huh?"
Wugel was cursing when he suddenly stopped talking. His face suddenly showed joy again, and he couldn't help but squat down, pick up the pulp in his hand, and stroke it.
"No, no! I blamed you wrongly! The pomace is good, the pomace is good! No one eats the pomace, and there is still time to study! ...Haha!"
Hearing these words, Sipili's eyelids jumped and he wished he could block his ears and become a real deaf person. At this moment, he was extremely pious and prayed loudly in his heart.
"... Blazing sunshine, may you leave as soon as possible! Immortal sunset, please don't delay any longer!... Lord God bless you!"
