The Emperor Shun Zhishi

Chapter 46
After traveling all night, Shun and his party finally arrived at the source of Jishui.The terrain here is high and narrow, and there is a big snow mountain at the source of the river.It can be seen that the source of Jishui comes from the foot of the snow mountain, which is a small spring with the mouth of a bowl.Looking at the big snow mountain in front of him, even Little Xing Xing didn't know the name of this snow mountain. He suspected that he had arrived in Gansu or Qinghai province. The big snow mountain might be a peak of Qilian Mountain.

Seeing that the enemy did not come after him, Shun suggested that everyone take a rest.It's just that all the luggage they brought was gone, and they couldn't set up tents, and couldn't boil water and cook food. So hungry, Shun had to go hunting in the mountains, and Nvying and Ehuang gathered some wild fruits.

Two hours later, Shun shot a rabbit in the mountains.After some cleaning, everyone set up a fire, roasted the rabbit meat and ate it.

"Husband, what are we going to do in the future?"

Ehuang is a very assertive person, but now that she is a married woman, it is natural to ask her husband's opinion first.

"Eat a full stomach first, take a good rest, and then we will find out where the Gong Gong's territory is, hoping to get their help."

After eating the rabbit meat, everyone found a shady tree to rest for an afternoon, and finally recovered a little energy.There are still many problems to face: everyone has no dry food, and they have to go hunting to eat, but rabbits are not always available, the tent is lost, and the Huaxia Hydrographic Map is no longer there. Walk the land around the Yellow River Basin, but at present, it is basically impossible without supplies.

At present, there are only two roads in front of everyone: one is to return to Pingyang, and then return to Guirui from Pingyang.This water survey mission is considered a failure.Second, continue to investigate the water system, but first of all, you must replenish everyone's supplies, and you must find them in a short period of time. The only way is to find Gong Gong.

After some discussion among the people, Shun decided to look for the Gonggong family near the source of Jishui.However, one of the problems they faced was that the source of Jishui was so great, where was the Gonggong clan?

Ehuang believed that the Gonggong clan lived a semi-nomadic life in the northwest of China. As long as they found cattle and sheep, they could find the Gonggong clan.Following this idea, the four searched near the source of Jishui, and soon they saw a group of cattle and sheep on a large grassland, and saw a man wearing furs and holding a whip, grazing.

Shun stepped forward quickly: "Brother, do you dare to ask if this is within the territory of the Gonggong clan?"

The man looked at Shun and saw that he was not a local, so he was a little alert.

"Who are you? Do you have anything to do with Gong Gong's territory?"

Shun wanted to tell a lie, but he thought that he was here to ask for help, so he should tell the truth, how could he deceive him, and Gong Gong was also a minister under Emperor Yao, so he couldn't deceive him.Thinking of this, Shun quickly revealed his identity.

"Yao Chonghua, the lord of Guirui City, these two are Zhuojing Ehuang and Nvying. This little brother is Yu, the son of Gun, the emperor's water control minister. We originally went to investigate the Yellow River water system for water control, but we met some bad guys on the way. More than 20 of our guards were killed or wounded, and we lost a lot of luggage, so we came here specially to look for Gong Gong, hoping to get some supplies and borrow some manpower to defeat the enemy."

Hearing what Shun said, the man immediately greeted him with a smile, showing a very respectful look.

"It turns out that it is a distinguished guest, and it is a sin to be far away. I am a herdsman of the Gonggong clan. The Gonggong clan has lived on herding for generations. The territory is in the pasture on the east, three miles away from here. Our leader has already I heard that Guirui City mainly came to investigate the water system, but I didn't expect the journey to be so difficult, so it happened to come to our territory to rest and make plans."

The herdsman was very hospitable and gave each of Shun, Nvying, Ehuang, and Yu a horse to follow him.After walking for about an hour, Shun came to a large low and flat grassland. On the green hillside, there was a row of small yurts, like some white flowers growing on the green grassland. Under the reflection of the boundless blue sky, they looked alive. exuberant.

"It's so beautiful, the sky is so blue, the grass is so green, and the land is so vast that you can't see the edge."

Nvying and Ehuang grew up in the hinterland of China, that is, the Central Plains, and had never seen grasslands. Seeing the exotic scenery at this time, they immediately felt good.

Under the leadership of the man, Shun and the others were taken into a large yurt, and met the leader of the Gonggong clan.The leader is an old man in his 60s. Like the man, he is wearing a fur coat and a felt hat.Seeing Shun, he showed a friendly expression and entertained them to eat and drink.Not long after, the yurt was already crowded with people, mostly children.They grew up by the Jishui River and have been dealing with cattle, sheep, and grasslands, and they have never seen people from the Central Plains of China.When I saw them for the first time, I was very curious. Some children even asked Nvying a lot of strange questions, such as: At what age do people in the Central Plains get married, and how tall are their houses?Are each of them literate?

Nvying smiled and answered the children one by one. Suddenly she saw a strange pattern on a child's arm. She quickly held the child's hand and asked:

"What's that painted on your arms?"

"Nine-headed bird."

"What is the nine-headed bird?"

"I heard from my grandfather that our ancestors were saved by the nine-headed bird, so the people of our tribe all have nine-headed bird patterns painted on their arms."

Nvying looked at the nine-headed bird pattern on the child's arm, and was suddenly startled, because she remembered that some of the masked men who chased and killed them along the way had nine-headed bird patterns on their arms.

Thinking of this, she was horrified, and hurriedly informed Shun of the situation, and Shun also felt that the situation was very critical.

"Don't say anything, it's not too late. Let's leave this place of right and wrong immediately. Yingmei, you go and find four horses. Let's go get some dry food, and then we will meet by the river bank."

Following Shun's instructions, Nvying secretly stole four horses from Gonggong's territory, and rushed to the Jishui River to wait for Shun, Ehuang and Yu.However, Nvying waited for a full three hours and did not see anyone. At this time, the sun had already set, and the stars in the sky were faintly visible.

Nvying realized that something might have happened to Shun, Ehuang and Yu.She wanted to go back to the camp to have a look. Fortunately, Nvying was thoughtful, so she didn't act immediately, but waited until it was completely dark, and then rode a horse into Gong Gong's camp.

Fortunately, the herdsmen in the northwest have no other life except grazing. The sun just went down, and almost everyone in the Gonggong camp was asleep.

Nvying sneaked out of a yurt that was still lit. She climbed up to the roof and looked down through the light from the room. It was incredible. She saw Gonggong sitting on the chair of the leader of the Gonggong clan. Drinking wine on the opposite side.There are three people lying behind him, namely Shun, Ehuang and Yu.Another member of the Gonggong tribe is sharpening a knife.There were no extra cattle and sheep in the yurt, and the sound of sharpening knives seemed to be about to kill someone.

Nvying felt that the situation was urgent and wanted to save people immediately, but she thought that although she was protected by the thousand-year-old true essence of the monster race, she was only one person after all, and those masked killers seemed to have witchcraft to restrain her spiritual power, so she acted rashly. He said that he couldn't save people, and even couldn't protect himself.

Thinking of this, she mobilized her spiritual power to make her body lighter and climbed directly on the yurt, listening to the conversation between Gong Gong and the leader.

"Emperor Yao is really confused. How can he dismiss me from the position of Baigong just because of his one-sided words? Just because I didn't do enough to protect Guirui, did he forget my past achievements?"

"Son, don't complain. The decision made by Emperor Yao is justified. You have been swayed by the anger in your heart now. I think so, these three people, we will find a chance to release them. Gun He is an ambitious man, as a father, I can see clearly, he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, why do you make trouble with him?"

"Father, you don't know that both Huaxia and Dongyi are farming peoples. They look down on us herding, saying that we are barbarians who eat wild rats. On the surface, our Gonggong clan is a member of the Huaxia tribal alliance. In Yao's eyes, our Gonggong clan is no different from barbarians like Xirong and Beidi. Now that Huaxia and Dongyi have formed an alliance, they will eventually establish a big alliance based on farming peoples. Basically, there is no difference from our Gonggong clan. It doesn't matter much. The reason why Emperor Yao wanted to win over our Gonggong clan was to let us guard the gate to the northwest for him and prevent Xi Rong from attacking the Central Plains. In Emperor Yao's eyes, our Gonggong clan is just a watchdog That’s all. If that’s the case, why do we have to sacrifice our lives for Emperor Yao? What’s more, I am an official in Pingyang. On the surface, it seems that Emperor Yao has favored our Gonggong family, but in fact he treats me as a hostage.”

There was a brief silence in the yurt, and Nvying speculated that the old Gonggong seemed to be persuaded by Gonggong.

"Then, what does this have to do with the Lord Guirui? I heard that he is the Ziwei star who came down to earth. Wouldn't it be against the law of heaven for you to kill him?"

"What is the way of heaven is the deceitful words of Emperor Yao. I don't believe in any way of heaven. I didn't want to kill him at first, but Gun Feige sent me a letter asking me to kill Chonghua and Emperor Yao's daughter. As for this child Well, he is Gun's son, we can keep it."

"This is what I don't understand about being a father. Gun is an ambitious man. If he wants to kill Chonghua, what does it have to do with you? What benefits does he give you? You want to help him kill someone?"

"The son knows who Gun is, and the son is not for him to use for nothing. Today, the most important reason for the alliance between Emperor Yao and Dongyi is the construction of Guirui. If Guirui becomes prosperous and prosperous, then China and Dongyi will Dongyi felt that the alliance was beneficial. Now it seems that the alliance is indeed beneficial to Huaxia and Dongyi, but it is not good for our Gonggong clan, Gun's Chong clan, and Sanmiao, these tribes on the edge of China. That's why San Miao wanted to attack Guirui in order to destroy the alliance between Huaxia and Yi. Although Gun is from Huaxia, he is an ambitious man. He wants to use force to unify the world and become the co-lord of the world. Now that Emperor Yao is old, And after Huaxia and Dongyi form an alliance, Emperor Yao’s successor must be Guirui City Lord Yao Chonghua. Killing Yao Chonghua will destroy the alliance between Huaxia and Dongyi. Yi will become weak. At that time, Sanmiao will definitely take the opportunity to attack China, and Gun will also make waves in Yushan, so that our Gonggong clan will have the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains and become the co-lord of the world. Since the old ancestors were defeated and left Buzhou Mountain, It has been more than 100 years, now is the time to rise up. Father, son did this not for himself, but for our entire Gonggong clan!"

The yurt fell silent again, and Nvying heard a hoarse sigh.

"Hey, I'm afraid that if you fail in your career, you will end up decapitated. Child, don't underestimate Emperor Yao!"

"Father, you are worrying too much. Emperor Yao is old and stupid, so there is nothing to worry about. Our biggest enemy is actually Yao Chonghua. Now he and his concubine are in our hands, it is God's help!"

"If you killed him and Emperor Yao's daughter, how would you explain to Emperor Yao? After all, they died in our Gonggong territory."

"It's not easy. After we killed them, we asked people to carry their bodies and throw them into the territory of Xirong. Anyway, this is the border area between Huaxia and Xirong. We told Emperor Yao that they were investigating the Jishui water system. , was killed by Xirong barbarians. Emperor Yao has no reason not to believe it, once the hatred between the Central Plains and Xirong is provoked, it will be a great thing."

"Since this is the case, you should keep doing it. If you want to kill and kill together, you have to release together. After you catch Nvying, kill all three of them. If you can't catch Nvying, don't kill them. Otherwise, the emperor Yao knows the truth, with the population of our Gonggong clan, we can't stop Emperor Yao's army."

"A son obeys his father's instruction."

Listening to the conversation between Gong Gong and his father, Nvying couldn't help feeling chills in her heart.Fortunately, I came to eavesdrop, otherwise I would never have guessed that Gonggong, an ambitious man, was hiding beside my father.Fortunately, the last sentence of the leader of the Gonggong clan meant that if Gonggong hadn't caught her, Shun and Ehuang would be safe for the time being.

Thinking of this, Nvying felt relieved, and she planned to save people later in the night.She jumped down from the yurt and rested for another two hours on the hillside far from the camp.It was already ten minutes past midnight, and Nvying sneaked into the camp again.

Nvying sneaked into the leader's yurt, where the lights were on.There are four people standing guard at the door.Now Nvying became anxious, because although Nvying had the thousand-year-old spiritual power that Qingluan injected into her body, Nvying did not know martial arts.Relying on spiritual power, it is not difficult to defeat these four guards, but the difficulty lies in knocking them down, making them lose their combat effectiveness, and at the same time not alarming the Gonggong clan.

She racked her brains and finally came up with a solution - seduction!
