Chapter 467 The Rise of the Eldar
Shi Wuding estimated that it would be impossible to capture Lei Zhentang or Wang Daozhong before the enemy's troops surrounded them. It would be difficult to even kill them quickly.
He made a prompt decision and evacuated quickly. Before leaving, he stared at Wang Daozhong with his sharp and fierce eyes, almost wanting to bite off a piece of his flesh.
Zhao Changhe's face is like the wind, and it is Lao Wang who takes the blame. You can bite him if you like. It's none of my business, Zhao Changhe...
Lei Zhentang in front covered the wound where the sword energy was raging, and stepped forward with great pains: "Thank you, King..."
Before he could finish his words, "Wang Daozhong" struck out with another sword and stabbed it viciously into his other ribs: "Wang has obsessive-compulsive disorder. I'll help you make it more symmetrical. You're welcome."
While everyone in Heimiao was stunned, Wang Daozhong ran away from the other side of Shi Wuding.
The Black Miao soldiers rushed to the front: "Clan leader, which way are you chasing? Clan leader, Clan leader? Save the Clan leader quickly!"
Zhao Changhe wanted to kill Lei Zhentang, but he was worried that he didn't know how to avenge the book of troubled times. Will he avenge Wang Daozhong or Zhao Changhe? Ordinarily, Suzaku Xuanwu is the registered vest, and so is Snow Owl Yingshuang. If he gives a fake name, he might be listed on the list under a false name... But in Wang Daozhong, he is a real person who is already on the list. How can this be counted? If Zhao Changhe was really reported, everything would be ruined.
After hesitating for a while, he could only injure but not kill. Anyway, Lei Zhentang, who was seriously injured, might not be able to make a big splash...
That is to say, Lao Wang offended everyone to the core, and hoped that he would never enter the Miao territory in this life.
…………
The black seedlings wanted to rebel, but their leader was seriously injured before the victory was achieved. How they fought for power internally was unknown to outsiders.
What can be seen on the surface is that the resolution originally agreed upon by the five tribes to "evict but not kill" the Xia people will not be implemented honestly at least within the Heimiao's sphere of influence. Most of them will use the excuse of "resistance" There was a mass killing, but now the black seedlings were in chaos, and no one cared about this matter.
However, this matter has already begun to be implemented on a large scale. Including the Bai Yao and other tribes, Xia people in the area are being expelled. Whether they are business travelers or those who have been here for a long time, they will all be expelled. This is better. Many people who hate the Xia people are really going to kill them. Anyway, if the law does not punish everyone, will the five tribes jointly really cause trouble for us?
For a time, the people of Miao Xia were miserable, with many families broken up and people dead.
People in Xia have changed their local clothes, fled to places where familiar faces will be recognized, and changed their lives, but where can they go in a short while? Under the consensus of all races, no matter where you go if you are recognized, you will not survive!
Are you really leaving Miao territory? There are old people and young people, and the journey alone, which makes even strong men complain of hardship, can kill family members, young and old.
Just when there was nothing to do, some gossip quickly spread around the Erhai Lake through Li Si'an's caravan in Miao territory, and then spread from the surrounding areas to distant places:
Among the five joint clans, only the Spirit Clan speaks on the side of the Xia people, and is willing to accept the Blessing Xia people to defect to them, as long as you claim to be from the Spirit Clan in the past, abide by the rules of the Spirit Clan, and obey the management of the Holy Lady of the Spirit Clan. That's it. Nowadays, many Xia people live near Xizhou Town, forming a new village and town, which is named Taoyuan Town. As long as you go there, it is the Taoyuan of the Miao Xia people.
Hei Miao didn't have time to take care of this matter. Although the Bai and Yao people hated the Xia people, they didn't hate them that much. Seeing many Xia people being killed, they couldn't bear it, so they turned a blind eye and allowed Sisi to protect them.
Unknowingly, the Eldar tribe of several hundred people expanded explosively, turning into thousands, and then quickly exceeded 10,000. It was visually observed that there were still people trekking from other distant areas.
——The Miao territory is very large, big enough to become a quite large country, and the area around Dali and Erhai Lake is just a small core area. Although the overall population is sparse, the total number of people is not large, and the two adults among them are usually scattered in different places with almost no presence, but if they can be gathered together, they will actually be a bit overwhelming.
In fact, the slightly more sensitive clan leaders realized that this was a good opportunity to attract more power. However, because they missed the opportunity, the Xia people only recognized the Spirit clan, and no one dared to entrust their entire family to other clans. As a result, Pan Wan and others also wanted to absorb the Xia people, but with little success. They watched a large number of Xia people flee to Taoyuan, and even some Xia people within their own territory fled.
They obviously didn't bully him, but they couldn't keep him... Now that the initial expulsion had begun, the Xia people no longer trusted him.
Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and others looked at each other, all a little frightened by this situation. No one knows who will be the most powerful ethnic group in Miao territory when this storm passes... But now, they find that they are unable to contain such a torrent.
The trend is like a tide and is irreversible.
This trend was started by themselves. If they don't expel them, nothing will happen... This is because they have forced out a terrifying force.
"There is no need to panic for the time being." Pan Wan said to the worried Dao Qingfeng: "With so many people, they all need to eat, and the Spirit Clan must find a way to keep them safe and sound."
The Miao Territory is not as good as the Central Plains. Although there is fertile farmland, the current development is not enough. The mountains and forests are poisonous and miasma is everywhere, and there are mostly pastures in the plains. It is not the farming season now, and it is too late to open up wasteland. Most of the Xia people here are engaged in business, and there are also craftsmen and martial arts schools. Generally speaking, they are basically unable to supply food output. It is impossible to support so many people.
When Lei Ao from Hei Miao heard the news, he also sneered: "The little girl knows nothing. She only has a pretty face... and feet... anyway, she has no brains. I'll just wait and see how her so-called Taoyuan becomes a mess. Backfire on itself.”
However, what is surprising is that it is already May and the population of Taoyuan has increased, but there is no chaos at all.
On the contrary, Sisi also had a lot of extra money and began to organize manpower to start reclaiming wasteland. It is estimated that next year it will be truly self-sufficient.
Even after having Xia craftsmen, they began to build their own weapons and armor.
The various tribes were stunned and sent people to investigate one after another. The information they got was even more baffling: Sisi really took out countless grains, as if they were conjured.
The food was not given away for free. People in Xia basically had money on hand, so they could just buy it at the normal market price. Inexplicably, Sisi became rich and the place was extremely stable.
Where does this food come from?
Of course, it is the grain that Sisi brought from the back of Guling Secret Realm. Guling Secret Realm refused to release it in full, but there has been no objection to doing some trade. The output of a single secret realm is obviously not rich enough, and it is a normal idea to do transactions with foreign countries. . The weather in the secret realm is smooth, and there are never any natural disasters to speak of. Although the food reserves cannot be considered too much, it is still possible to use some of them for trade, just in time to tide over this urgent need.
At the same time, Li Si'an's caravan also returned. Jingxiang had already resumed production, food was no longer in short supply, and Jingnan also had routes leading here. The next round trip coincides with the autumn harvest, and I can tell that there will be a large amount of grain coming back next time.
When the land reclamation is completed, it won't take long to completely enter the positive cycle.
When the news came out, there were other chain reactions.
Sisi had said before that she could win over not only Xia people, but also many people who didn't know how to count themselves as clansmen. After hearing that this place was stable, there were so many people who took the initiative to seek naturalization. As long as these people were trained well, they could really I regard myself as a member of the Spirit Race...
Although there may be some spies... in short, it is obvious to the naked eye that this force is going to become a truly powerful force...
Sisi was very busy these days and had no time to talk to Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe basically didn't interfere in these matters. He was not good at internal affairs, so his intervention was useless.
He was focused on another thing: where had Shi Wuding been after his falling out with Lei Zhentang, and what were he planning?
On the surface, the damage these swordsmen can cause is far less than Lei Zhentang, but Zhao Changhe does not dare to underestimate the sixth person on the list.
He didn't think that the Shiwu Dingju Sect moved to the Miao territory simply to cooperate with the Black Miao... how could they cooperate so hard. Even if they are afraid of being recognized because of practicing the Sword Slave method, it does not necessarily require a group to move. As long as the people who practice the Sword Slave method are separated and a small number of people come to Miao territory, it will be fine.
The reason why Ju Sect is here must have other motives. The merger with Hei Miao is just one of the ways to achieve multiple goals with one stone, so if they fall out, it won't have much impact.
In previous contacts, we did not see a large number of Jianlu disciples, which shows that they have already taken root here. What are they doing?
Taking advantage of the surge in power of the Spirit Clan and the availability of more masters, Zhao Changhe organized a group of Xia warriors to explore the whereabouts of the "White Swordsman".
As Sisi gradually stabilized her internal affairs, Zhao Changhe also received news about Shi Wuding.
"Thinking about protecting the law, people who escaped from Lijiang a few days ago said that they saw a large number of swordsmen in white on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."
Zhao Changhe, who was practicing swordsmanship with Yue Hongling, put away his sword. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Changhe said: "There must be a plan. If we don't figure this out, the destructive power may not be inferior to the Heimiao rebellion." ”
Yue Hongling said: "But we are not Shi Wuding's opponent... What are your ideas? It seems unrealistic to ask Sisi to raise troops and go to the snowy mountains?"
"It's not realistic, but you still have to rely on thinking."
"...Is this why you came to Sisi's door a few days ago during your busy schedule?"
Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "I'm looking for her on business..."
"What's up?"
"She did something sorry to a certain senior before. Although the senior generously forgave her, she had no face to reply. This time she saved so many Xia people. Although the senior may not care about this kind of thing, it is her Giving a gift is a good way to admit her mistake. I suggest she send an envoy to admit her mistake to her seniors and ask her seniors to help her a little. "
Yue Hongling glanced at him sideways for a long time: "You have many secrets that I don't even know..."
"Where are you talking? In fact, senior has come here quietly. He was having a lot of fun drinking in the town recently."
"Which senior? There are not many people who can beat the times..."
"But I feel that Shi Wuding is going to be unlucky...especially since he is doing things in hiding, and he seems to have a treasure. This senior is particularly interested in this kind of thing."
