After another year of fighting, the rebel army swept through all the reactionary tribes and finally unified the grasslands in 437 of the Great Lunar Calendar.
(Age depends on the work)
But who will rule the grassland?
Now that the grasslands have been unified, the Great Anjiwa Empire must be rebuilt in accordance with the rules, an Ange should be elected as the ruler, and a coronation ceremony should be held. Nalan, as a descendant of Hanasher, should succeed to the throne. But Buge's prestige is not inferior to him.
, if he launches a military coup, Nalan will have almost no power to fight back.
For this reason, he went to the great elders with uneasiness, sighed, and then expressed his concerns.
"Brother An, don't worry. I have found a way to resolve this disaster." A great elder stood up and shouted loudly.
"What can we do?" Nalan looked sideways at the great elder.
"You can place the captured foreign cannon in a place where he often hangs out. When he appears, as long as the cannon is fired, he will be blown up into ashes!" The elder clapped his hands excitedly. He couldn't wait to kill Bug.
Nalan's heart trembled. After all, he had some feelings for Anda, and it was difficult for him to do this anyway. He had no choice but to shake his head: "Wait until I test him, and then it won't be too late to make a decision."
Just when he was about to go out of his tent to look for Bug, the guard rushed in and reported: "The Leader of the Bug Alliance wants to see you!"
The great elders looked back and forth and murmured. Nalan broke into a cold sweat and had to sit back and wait for Buge to enter the account.
I saw Bug wearing ordinary linen clothes, tiptoeing into the big tent and saying: "Meet the leader!"
"We are Anda, why should we be so respectful?" Nalan stepped forward to help him up, and carefully looked at his clothes worn by ordinary civilians, and his worries were relieved by two or three points.
Nalan greeted Hu Shi, Buge arranged his clothes and sat down safely. The elders kept giving Nalan looks. Nalan cleared his throat and said: "All the land on the grassland belongs to the rebel army, which fulfills the last wish of my father."
, and now it is time to change the Yuan Dynasty and build the country to realize the dream of the rejuvenation of our Anjiwa people."
"I came here just to talk about this matter. It is time to choose a good and auspicious day to hold the Bigan ceremony." Buge answered with his hands clasped in fists. (Bigan: Anjiwa language, meaning God's will)
Nalan was silent. He stared at Bug in front of him worriedly, wondering what he wanted to say.
"The grassland can only have one ruler. Because of this, I plan to go back to the countryside and live with my brother and wife. These are my general seal and alliance leader seal." Buge took out two stones carved from his arms.
The big seal was placed steadily on the ground.
Nalan was greatly shocked. He did not expect that Buge had no ambition at all. When he became famous, he actually wanted to go to the countryside and return home. However, he doubted Anda so much that his conscience ached.
"That's it, I hope Brother An will allow it!" Buge behaved like a courtier, which made Nalan extremely uncomfortable. Seeing his good friend Anda, who had lived and died together, kneeling in front of him, he didn't know what to do.
"Get out of here! Let me think twice." Nalan covered his face with one hand and made a gesture telling him to leave with the other hand. Boog understood and slowly exited the tent, shooting through the gap.
There was a ray of sunshine, but it was quickly blocked by the curtain.
No matter how excited the great elders were, they even danced happily with triumphant expressions.
"Pass my decree!" Nalan growled calmly: "Promote Heshevir Buge as the chief of the Zabibi tribe. His jurisdiction will remain unchanged, and his family will be rewarded!"
When the great elders heard this, they seemed to be petrified and stayed motionless. The little civil servant on the side silently wrote on the parchment and handed it to Nalan. He bit his thumb and pressed it hard on the parchment.
He took his bloody fingerprints and passed them on.
"What does Brother An mean by doing this?" A great elder took the lead and asked.
"Rewards for meritorious ministers..."
"Zabibibu is
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In the Hesheville family's territory, doing this is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and will pose a great threat to your rule!"
"Shut up!" Nalan roared angrily: "As a great elder, not only do you not offer good governance advice, but you are petty and try to bully others everywhere. I really don't know what the use of raising you is!"
The elders were too frightened to say anything. Everyone looked around in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
"I hope you'll think twice..."
"I have made up my mind, no more words!" Nalan shook his sleeves angrily and left the tent angrily, leaving only a group of great elders sitting there awkwardly.
After receiving the news of the reward, Buge smiled lightly: "I just want to be an ordinary person, and I don't want to be a chief anymore."
Yi'an Gaowa said with a smile: "This is a reward from Ange of the Great Anjiwa Empire. My husband should accept it. It has only been a long time since the grassland was unified. Management must be difficult. My husband wants to evade. Isn't this a manifestation of irresponsibility?"
?"
Blue also advised: "The Zabibi tribe can only be governed by people from the Hesheville family, otherwise there will be chaos. I think Ange made this decision just with this in mind. You must not refuse."
"Even so, my existence will more or less have an impact on his rule..." Bug naturally realized this. He had never wanted to compete with Nalan for hegemony over the grassland. He decided to go out because he was afraid of being suspected.
, but fortunately he was not suspected - at least that's what he thought.
Some people walked in one after another from the interior of the tent: Yuqi, Chongyang, Han Yanei, Qingmeng also changed into Hanfu. He was ready to return to the Haibo Empire. Five years had passed, and the domestic situation was still not at all good.
To understand, I can only inquire about it from businessmen in the past.
"What news did you get from the businessman?" Bug asked politely.
"Each warlord just wants to be content with the status quo. Their strength may be a little more stable, but the territory is still the same as it was five years ago. It's just that there is a warlord in the south of the Yangtze River, Han Jin, nicknamed "Python", who is reforming and becoming stronger, which will be a stumbling block on my road to unification in the future.
.”
Qing Meng rationally analyzed: "The reason why Han Jin has not made any moves in the past five years is because a balance has been formed in the country. Those warlords are not enterprising and respect the nominal Taiwei Emperor to stabilize their interests. If anyone
To break their balance, they will inevitably unite to deal with it. Han Jin is worried about this, so he does not dare to act rashly."
"If this continues like this, will we spend hundreds of years peacefully like this?" Bug asked.
"Otherwise, without me, once these warlord leaders die, the most powerful Hanjin family will definitely attack other warlords like a python. It will be difficult for their descendants to reach a consensus and they will eventually be defeated one by one."
"In this case, if you return to China, wouldn't it be great to adopt this strategy and defeat these small warlords one by one?"
"You are still too naive. If I don't expect it, once I go back, I will definitely break their balance, and they will form an alliance-like group to collectively besiege me."
"Then what should we do? If we become the enemy of the whole world, wouldn't we be close to destruction?"
Qingmeng chuckled and didn't care about this: "Are you an enemy of the world? It seems very interesting."
"Buger! Let's go quickly, the cool breeze is suitable for us to move now!" Yi'an Gaowa shouted while sitting on the carriage, waving her hands.
All the Hesheville retainers walked out of the tent one after another and jumped on the carriage. Qing Meng reluctantly said: "Why can't we stay longer?"
"You are the one. Go back to your country. But we don't know when we will see each other again..."
Qingmeng looked around and asked doubtfully: "Why didn't that guy Nalan come?"
"He is about to ascend the throne and become Ange. As the ruler of the grassland, it is always inconvenient to see off a little chief like me!" Bug smiled bitterly. He naturally hoped that Nalan would come to see him off.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Qingmeng bent down to edit, and hugged his right hand with his left hand in a fist-cup salute to see him off, but Buge laughed loudly: "The etiquette of you southerners is so strange. You have to do the prairie salute on the grassland!"
"How do you perform a prairie ceremony?" Qing Meng was confused for a moment and turned to look at the old man.
The old man put his right hand on his chest, bowed, and then said in a very long tone: "May the God of Immortality bless you!"
"Bless..." Buge repeated the same gesture in return, as if as long as he said these words, no matter what hardships he encountered, they would not be able to find them.
As the coachman shouted and the sound of the whip was heard, the carriage moved slowly and ran towards the west. Qingmeng watched the carriage go further and further away, leaving only a trace of the wheels on the green grass.
This should have been a perfect ending, but Chang Shengtian decided to play a fatal joke on him.
Not long after leaving Luochuan, the sky gradually became dark. Yi'an Gaowa leaned on Bug's shoulder and said with some self-blame: "Did I do something wrong at the beginning?"
"No...Gaowa, you did the right thing at the time. If not, we might not be alive now. Don't blame yourself too much..." Bug gently stroked Yi'an Gaowa's hair, gently
It's enviable.
"Did you know? I love stroking your hair the most. It's soft, smooth and beautiful, just like you..."
"I hate it, are you still a child?" Yi'an Gaowa shyly pushed him and turned her back.
A shocking cry echoed in the sky, and the eagle circled above their heads, flexed its talons slightly, and then ran off into the distance again.
"Gaowa, you said I won't fight anymore, what else can I do?" Bug asked with a smile.
"Of course it is to govern the people and let us Anjiwa people truly live a happy life."
Yes, if everything goes smoothly, Bug may really devote his whole life to making the people live a happy life.
As the night progressed, they lit torches. It seemed that there was no small tribe nearby, so they had to walk in the night. Yu Qi looked at the hills to the east and said silently: "There are a few torches there, aren't there people there?"
"This is great, catch up with them quickly and have a rest for the night!" Bug ordered the groom to run towards the torch. As he walked, the groom noticed something was wrong, because the closer he got, the more and more torches he got.
It's like a normal tribe, but more like an army.
"Bang!" Following the earth-shattering sound of a cannon, before anyone could react, an explosion blew up the carriage. The horse was scorched on the spot. In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and everyone on the hilltop cheered loudly:
"Blow up these wild wolves like Bug, go back and collect the reward from Brother Nalan'ang!"
Bug was not dead. He pushed away the wooden cart that blocked him alone. If it hadn't been for the wooden cart, he would have been dead. Following the firelight, he searched and searched like crazy.
Others were not so lucky: Chongyang, Yuqi, and Han Ya Nei were killed by the explosion, and their blood was like fuel, burned by the flames.
He touched Yi'an Gaowa's burnt hand, and the hateful dead horse was pressing on her. Bug used all his strength to lift the horse away, and saw that Blue was slightly burned, but safe and sound.
But Yi'an Gaowa died...
Bug couldn't believe what he was seeing. Looking at Yi'an Gaowa's face that was burnt black, his whole body twitched and his limbs were trembling restlessly. He collapsed next to Yi'an Gaowa's body and started wailing in collapse.
.
His eyes full of resentment looked toward the east. He could not see the road in the distance clearly. His vision was covered by flames. His last rational heart was burned by the flames of revenge and ceased to exist.
He murmured to himself in an almost desperate tone:
