Start North America 1400: nation building

Zhou Li'an said: "People in the world are only deceived by falsehoods, not betrayal of balance!"

"As for the army of judgment ending in the tower hole..."

"If we don't go, won't they come?"

Xue Nu pondered, thoughtful: "Master, you mean, the prince's mission? But they are 'negotiating for peace', but in fact they are making the falsehood continue to spread!"

Zhou Li'an asked again: "Then if you were in Kema City now, what would you do?"

Ok?
Xue Nu was stunned, and she suddenly realized that she had always viewed these things from the perspective of a bystander.

And the army of judgment is not a display.

Niushi and Zhou Weiguo are the leaders of the army. Seeing the arrival of the prince's mission and hearing the words of "seeking peace", they must take measures.

She took it into consideration, thought for a long time, and said, "With the character of the presiding judge, under the wrath, maybe they will never return!"

Zhou Li'an smiled and nodded: "Changshan and other battle group leaders will indeed be like this, so I made Niushi the deputy presiding judge, and Zhou Weiguo and Kuiz Titko as the chief and deputy supervisors!"

Xuenv continued: "I don't know about Queztiteko's character, but bullshit and Weiguo shouldn't act recklessly!"

"But if you just reprimand and warn them, it will be difficult to wake them up from their confusion!"

"Maybe some people in the mission will wake up and surrender to the balance, but there are only two or three people, and they can't control the situation!"

"Even if the eldest prince submits to Balance, once he returns to Tepanix Kingdom, if he shows a different will, he should be imprisoned by the old lord!"

After saying those words, Xue Nu became dazed again: "Master, I don't know how else to break the situation."

Zhou Li'an said: "Continue to think, we have already planted the fire of balance in the city-state alliance!"

In fact, for Ziboche, Poly Poma and others, Zhou Li'an also has.

The "Fire Spreader" they set up for Quiztitko is also considered to be an extremely rare balanced fire in the city-states.

However, Zhou Li'an didn't think they could cause any splashes.

The significance of the fire spreaders lies in the formation of the Kinkou sect, which is different from ordinary Kinkou people.

They are more fanatical in their faith.

If you want to set foot on the old land in the future, the fire passer can play the same role as an ascetic monk and experience in Eurasia.

This requires a certain scale of development and some special training from Zhou Li'an.

But now, the existence of the "Fire Spreader" is just the sprout of new consciousness, and its actual meaning and use are almost zero.

Therefore, Zhou Li'an has not told Xuenv about the existence of the "fire spreader" yet.

Even when that day came in Kema City and asked her to send down the precepts referring to the "fire bearer", Zhou Li'an didn't explain much.

So the reminder of "balanced fire" now has nothing to do with the fire sender.

But Xuenv knows that since I have something to say, the answer is not hidden deeply.

She frowned thoughtfully.

Zhou Li'an didn't bother, and waved his hands to create a "Ocean Monsoon Map" for study.

In the next month, he will supplement relevant knowledge to Zhou Yusheng. Of course, he can't show his timidity when he meets Zheng He, but he will pretend to be coercive.

In addition, Zhou Li'an has not yet made up his mind on whether to send a "God Envoy" to visit Daming.

If you really want to send someone to move there, you can learn the "Ocean Monsoon Map" in advance, which can be used as a practical proof and repaired and replaced. …

After 600 years, monsoons and ocean currents have changed to varying degrees. The global warming effect that is often talked about by later generations is not a joke.

The advancement of global industry will inevitably affect the ecology.

After about two hours.

Only then did Xuenv come back to her senses, a sudden joy bloomed on her face: "Master, I understand, it's that..."

……

South Valley.

It has been locked for 8 days.

And not just Tepanix country, all the cities in the valley listened to the order passed by Tezuzomok, calling on the people and the altar to worship the True God of Equilibrium and beg her for mercy and forgiveness.

at the same time.

Outside the cities, there are constant arrivals of people who have lived in the tower caves and returned.

Seeing that the gates of the city were locked and heavily guarded, they also felt nervous and panicked.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that they wanted to take their family and relatives to balance, which was a betrayal of the monarch of the city-state.

However, the guard didn't have any evil looks, it was just that someone specially asked them what they had seen and heard in Tadong City, recorded it, and asked his street, where the gate was, and who they were looking for.

Finally, two options are given-

Once you enter the city, you can't go out again.

Because they have bathed in the glory of the true God of balance, they should enter the sacrificial temple and perform praises and prayers every day until the true God forgives all peoples.

If you don't enter the city, you can wait outside the city. Someone will look for their family and relatives to inquire. If you want to migrate, you will go out of the city to meet.

No one knew the meaning behind it.

But when he heard that he was not allowed to leave after entering the city, he never mentioned the matter of entering the city and waited outside the city.

Soon, someone will meet with their family——

"Follow me to Kema City, it's the place where Balanced Glory is guided!"

"In the future, we will go to the Kingdom of God to see the glory of the true God, and we will no longer have to worry about poverty and hardship! Everyone will have food, clothing and joy."

But there are also people who are not allowed to meet with their family members, only to hear a message from the sergeant: "Your father, your mother does not want to come!"

"why?"

"They say they don't want to leave their homeland!"

"Hutu, isn't that happy country better than the life they are living now?"

The sergeant snorted coldly, his expression changed.

The man quickly changed his words: "My lord, please help me pass the message one more time. As long as they meet me and listen to the joy of balance, they will definitely leave with me."

The sergeant said: "One person only has one chance to send a message, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people come back every day, how can we take care of them?"

"Your family and relatives already know your message. If they change their minds, they can leave the city at any time! You can wait here, or turn around and return!"

"If you want to enter the city, you must know that anyone who enters the city will not be allowed to leave. This is the king's order of the lord of the valley, Tezuo Mok! All city-state monarchs follow it!"

Azkapochalco, the capital of Tepanix.

at dusk.

The bonfire was lit early on the sacrificial high platform in the city, and the flame would burn all night.

This is the landmark building of the most powerful country in this valley, and it is talked about by merchants and residents.

But now, the big city has been blocked for several days, but it has become a place that annoys the people.

Because, the people in the city have to go to worship every day, and then they can do everything for their livelihood.

If it's just kneeling down and praising, it only takes a moment, but the whole city gathers and forms a long queue. The waiting process is tiresome. …

However, in order to pray for salvation, people still go spontaneously.

However, people's hearts are impetuous, and they are increasingly resistant to the so-called "balance".

Even at this time, the noise of crowds gathering from under the sacrificial high platform can still be vaguely heard from all over the city.

Fang urban area.

Polipoma and Oyer are back on both feet.

The servants had already prepared meals, and when the three of them sat down, the rest of them retreated of their own accord.

The servants who stayed in the house were all Polipoma's confidantes, so they were not worried about Ziboche's existence being leaked out.

Besides, they didn't know Qiboche's previous identity.

He is only treated as the honored guest of the master, and Qiboche treats these servants very friendly.

One is because of his status as a fellow servant, and the other is that he has a heart for balance, and when their plans are successful, he will also take these servants to Kema and submit to our Lord Balance.

During the dinner, none of the three spoke in a hurry.

Polypomar and Oyer have been inquiring for news these days, buying noble servants, bodyguards, butlers, and even some seemingly unimportant and low-ranking officials with treasures and goods.

After running around for a day, the two of them were so tired that they looked a little out of shape, and they both started to gobble up.

Qiboche couldn't bear to interrupt.

It wasn't until the two picked up the wine glasses one after another that Ziboche raised them together. After drinking a glass of tequila liqueur, he asked, "Polipoma, is there any news?"

Polly Poma showed a smile: "Basically mastered!"

Qiboche sat up straight excitedly, and listened to Polypoma's words: "All the city-states are raising treasures, even the treasure room of the second prince is said to have been opened, and a rare gold-cast sun wheel was taken out. It is said that the It was left by their ancestors, the Teotihuacan people."

"Five days later, when the tributes from various countries arrive, the mission will set off."

"In addition, it is rumored in the court and among the nobles that if the eldest prince seeks peace and returns, the old lord will be passed on to him!"

After hearing this, Oyer exclaimed: "The eldest prince is already sixty years old, and he has been out of favor for a long time, but now he regains the possibility of inheriting the throne?"

Polypomar laughed: "It's just a possibility, and it's an extremely unlikely possibility!"

"Brother, what you said is wrong!" Oyer retorted, "You and I know the doctrine of balance, so we know that he will return without success, but how do nobles know the result?"

"I'm afraid the second and third princes have been unable to sleep all night these days?"

On the side, Qi Boche said: "Then you underestimate these two people!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"For them, the stability of the kingdom is the primary issue! If the authority of the royal family is not there, there is no such thing as a throne."

"So what if the eldest prince is appointed to the throne? The two are in charge of property management and military power respectively. When the time is right, they can seize the throne at any time."

"Besides, you only know that the eldest prince is old, how long can you live? The longevity of the old lord is an odd number!"

"Now that their elder brothers have secured the kingdom for them, it's too late for them to be happy, so why can't they fall asleep?"

"On the other hand... if the eldest prince returns without success, the two of you won't have to worry about his threat."

Oyer thought about it.

Then I heard Polypoma say: "Just as my lord expected, the entire city is now discussing the envoy's mission, and the praises of the sacrifices to the high platform in the past two days are much more devout and fanatical than before." …

"All the people are looking forward to the result of seeking peace, but if the final result fails, the people will panic even more and violate the balance."

As he said, it was all expected.

Although Qi Boche was resentful, there was nothing he could do.

He shook his head slightly and said: "Let him use that conspiracy, if he is not redeemed, he will only leave a legacy for his descendants, and by that time Balance will also turn his back on them!"

"As for the departure in five days..."

Ziboche looked at Oyer, "Time is running out. If the plan cannot be carried out through the mission, it will be more difficult. How is your progress?"

Oyer laughed: "Brother has found out the news, how can I be weak?"

"I dealt with several palace guards and found out accurate information!"

"Heirs of the royal family also need to worship the true God every day and leave the court!"

"I also bribed the waiter of the sacrificial temple, so that in the morning of the next day, I can take over the business of supplying the sacrificial offerings and freely enter and leave the sacrificial hall!"

"This supply is an evaluation, and only after passing the evaluation can we continue to supply!"

"And I know that the waiter has already colluded with the head of the temple. The two often accept goods and deceive merchants to participate in the supply evaluation. But in fact, none of them passed. The supply quota is originally held by their family members!"

"Therefore...my lord, brother, this is the only chance. If you miss this time, if you try to bribe again, it will inevitably lead to suspicion."

Hearing this, Ziboche and Polypoma looked at each other, both excited.

"The sacrificial hall where Mengdaya will go, have you found out clearly?"

"Of course!"

"Then act the next day! I want to meet that princess!" Qi Boche excitedly said.

And Polipoma was suspicious again: "My lord, you must think carefully, if you are exposed at this time, you will be in danger! We don't even know what kind of character the princess is!"

"Time is too tight now, and it is really impossible to find out the princess's information."

Qi Boche said: "The princess can save Keya, at least her character is not bad. In order to rescue Keya and his father and brothers, even if the princess doesn't want to help, at least she won't harm me!"

Oyer said again: "My lord, it's not that I curse you and sing against you; you know the character of those nobles better than the two of us."

"Maybe that princess only sees Keya as a plaything, and she can't bear to kill him until she loses interest!"

"Otherwise, the majestic princess is Te Zuo Moke's favorite direct grandson, how could she really fall in love with a servant?"

After these words came out, the dinner became dull again.

Oyer's dejected words were not without reason.

Who knows what happened to the princess and Keya?If it's just for fun in captivity, it's not impossible!

But other than that, Ziboche has no better way.

Only be fearless and give it a go.

"This is my mission. If there is an accident, you two will escape from the big city according to the original plan!"

Talk to here.

All three of them took a deep breath, and their expressions turned serious——

"Action the day after tomorrow, tomorrow is the final preparation time!"

"I will go to investigate the situation of the secret road out of the city again!"

"In addition, we need to confirm the situation of Lawa, father and son. If something happens, we don't have to put ourselves in danger." …

The next day.

The two set off again early in the morning to inquire about news from all parties.

In the courtyard, Qiboche was alone in the room, with the door closed, sometimes praising, and sometimes talking excitedly.

In fact, it was to practice his prepared words.

He is used to seeing the big nobles, but it can be seen that the royal family has never seen it.

And recalling Tu Ge's description of the royal family at the beginning, it was mostly cloudy and moody.

If there is no true god coming, they are the most noble existence in this world, and all living beings are nothing in their eyes.

Therefore, in addition to the worry of failure, there is also a little anxiety.

He can only recite the balance over and over again, so that the holy name of the true God will give him spiritual strength.

In the afternoon, the two returned, and the three made a complete simulation exercise for tomorrow's plan.

Another day, before dawn.

The three of them dressed in full costumes and set off with seven or eight servants carrying tribute.

Go all the way to the high platform of the sacrificial temple.

The flame on the high platform had just been extinguished, and from a distance, there was a trail of blue smoke.

At this time, many people in the city had woken up and went to the temple one after another, hoping to find a good place to worship the true God.

According to the plan, the three of them met with the attendant of the sacrificial temple, checked the tribute, and then followed the attendant up the dense and steep stairs.

The high platform of the sacrificial temple is about 35 meters long and is the largest building in the city.

Civilians have no right to climb the steps.

Walking with them, those who went up to the Temple of the Steps together were all nobles in the city with luxurious clothes, gems embedded in their belts, and beautiful feathers on their temples.

"Brother, that woman has a big house on her head!

Oyer was distracted and interrupted, exclaiming.

Ziboche and Polypoma didn't dare to look back, they only glanced out of the corner of their eyes, and then said in a low voice, "Why is there a big mansion over there?"

Oyer said: "23 feather coins, a total of 23, are inserted in her hair, all of which are colorful!
It is enough to buy a big house in the city. Isn't this a big house on the head? "

"..." The two were speechless.

It was only after a while that Qi Boche said: "Stop joking! The steps are steep and the higher the height, the more dizzy I feel!"

At this time, the crowd was halfway there, which was enough to overlook the entire city.

The waiter who was walking in the front was actually panting, "You can take a rest! But don't block the way of the distinguished guests, go, go and sit on the side of the stairs!"

The group of people was able to breathe.

On this high place again, I saw the nobles kneeling down to worship the people, chatting and laughing with the people on the steps, and worshiping the temple.

Can't help but make a comparison——

"Someone has a mansion over his head..."

"If someone cuts off his own head, he may not be able to get a full meal for his family!"

"It's a sin, an unjust sin!"

Ziboche was whispering.

And the whispers of the wind on the high platform of the stairs...

Only Polypomar and Oyer, who were on his left and right, heard it, and they gave birth to the same profound expression as him, seemingly hesitant, but also insight into the truth——

"May the eternal flame of balance dispel all the darkness!
"
