Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

chapter 223,

Shushan, guarded by Yu Yuan.

The third elder looked at Yu Chou's body, his eyes were full of resentment, and the surrounding Shilan clansmen and Yu Yuan's guards were filled with righteous indignation. The elders looked at Yu Chou's body with serious expressions. Yu Chou's body was entered by them It was found on the road to Mount Shu, and the body was discovered by Yu Changqing who rushed back and many Yu Yuan's guards who went down the mountain to look for it.

"We can't ignore Yu Qiu's death, but the first thing to do now is to find Xiao Yu and the others." The third elder said in a deep voice, looking at the clansmen whose eyes were full of resentment.

Hearing Xiao Yu's name, the resentment in everyone's eyes turned into worry. Once something happened to Xiao Yu, who is the saint of Yu Yuan, it would be a huge disaster for the whole Yu Yuan, especially now that the elder's body is getting old. Therefore, Xiao Yu, the Saintess of Yuyuan, became extremely important. If something happened to both the Great Elder and Saintess Yuyuan, the seal of Yuyuan guarded by their Shilan clan might be opened, and the entire Shilan clan would be destroyed as a result.

"The first thing to do right now is to find the three of Xiaoyu and ensure their safety. We have to report Yu Chou's death, but the safety of the three of Xiaoyu is more important. Are there any clues at the scene?" Looking at the clansmen around him, he said in a deep voice.

"I've checked, and the traces of fighting left at the scene are not Shushan's skills, but Yu Chou left them on his clothes." The third elder took out the pieces of clothes in his hand and put them in front of everyone.

The second elder spread out the clothes, and at the corner of the clothes, there was a word Qin crookedly written in blood. After seeing this word, everyone's first thought was Qin, the second elder said in a deep voice

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and it is not certain that someone deliberately framed it."

The second elder is unwilling to see the conflict between Shushan Yuyuan and the state of Qin. Like the first elder, he is a person who has seen the strength of the Qin army. As a child, he felt scared. If it was not necessary, he would not want to have a conflict with Qin Jun.

"What's the long-term plan? Shu County has long regarded us as enemies. All the tribes on Shu Mountain have connections with our Shilan tribe. It is impossible for them to take action against Elder Yu Qiu. Only the people of Shu County can take action. The Qin State It is not a day or two to get rid of us, especially after the special envoy of the King of Qin came to Shu County and threatened to send troops to Shushan, it is likely that they did it to destroy us." The fifth elder said angrily.

Looking at the innocent Fifth Elder, the Third Elder's eyes flashed brightly. He was the one who found Yu Chou's body. After learning that Yu Chou failed to assassinate Xiao Yu, he immediately asked someone to put Yu Chou's body in the On the way into the mountain, the surroundings were arranged in such a way that Yu Qiu was killed by the Qin army. Although Yu Qiu was not as important as Xiao Yu, it could still arouse the hatred of the Shilan people, enough for him to bring some of them down the mountain.

"There is no direct evidence that this incident was caused by Qin Jun." The second elder said.

"The clansman found this near Yu Qiu's body. It was a special bow and arrow made by the Qin army, and Yu Qiu's body also had arrow wounds." The third elder said, taking out the blood-stained feather arrow.

The third elder held up the feather arrow, and there was a lowercase Qin character at the end of the arrow. This was a mark left by the Qin army to prevent the outflow of military equipment. The bandits under the third elder had small-scale conflicts with the Shu County defenders. The feather arrow was left by Qin Jun.

At this time, the crowd suddenly became chattering, and some young people immediately shouted that Qin Jun should pay his debts in blood. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene became turbulent, the elder said immediately

"There is something wrong with this matter. I will send someone to investigate it. Everyone will go back and forbid going down the mountain."

The Great Elder was the most prestigious person in the Shilan tribe, everyone fell silent after his voice fell.

"I don't think so. Xiaoyu's life and death are unknown now, so we must send someone to search for it. If Xiaoyu meets a murderous hand because of delay, then it will be too late to regret." The third elder retorted.

The words of the third elder immediately attracted the support of some people. It is okay to let them put down their hatred for a while, but they cannot ignore Xiao Yu's life and death. Seeing the movements of the people around them, the third elder immediately continued:

"I think Xiao Yu should have been captured by the Qin army at the foot of the mountain, because Xiao Yu is our Saintess of Yu Yuan, who is extremely important to us. If there is such a hostage in our hands, we will definitely capture it without a fight."

"The Qin army's target is the Shu Mountain bandits, not our Yu Yuan clan." The second elder said.

"But Second Elder, don't forget that our Yu Yuan clan was also classified as bandits at the beginning, and our Yu Yuan clan was isolated from the world, occupying Shu Mountain, and refused to admit that we were the people of Qin State. Qin State has long regarded us as a thorn in the side. The bandits were suppressed this time, so who dares to say whether they will take the opportunity to attack us? Killing Yu Chou and kidnapping Xiao Yu this time has already shown their thoughts." The third elder said.

The words of the third elder immediately attracted the approval and discussion of many people. Most of them were clansmen who were dissatisfied with Qin State. In their opinion, Shu County should belong to them, but now it is occupied by Qin State. Now they live in seclusion in the mountains. They gave up their life at the foot of the mountain. All this was caused by the destruction of the state of Shu by Qin, so they also wanted to return to the foot of the mountain.

"Instead of believing that the Qin army has no idea about us, it is better to make all preparations. If the Qin army really wants to besieged by a large army, we will not rush to fight." The third elder said.

Getting these people to follow him to attack Chengdu is not something that can be done right away. His goal has never been to get the whole Yu Yuan to join him, but to let him take out those who have taken refuge in him in a reasonable way. It was too high, so high that as long as he said a word, no one would dare to leave.

"I think the third elder is right. We have to avenge Yu Qiu's revenge. We can investigate first, but we have to deal with the threat of the Qin army." The fifth elder said through gritted teeth.

For a moment, the whole crowd agreed to the proposal of the third elder. Seeing the turbulent crowd and the presence of the third elder, the first elder could only close his eyes helplessly, nodded and said

"Let the third elder be responsible for this matter. You take someone to the mountain to arrange it, and at the same time investigate the cause of Yu Qiu's death. If it was really the Qin army's doing, you must make him pay the price!"

Seeing that the First Elder let go of himself, the Third Elder no longer hesitated and immediately announced the order, pointing out that many people began to let him take people to Shushan to set up defenses, and he led some people to start investigating the cause of Yu Qiu's death. The Shilan tribe got busy again, and the Great Elder looked helplessly at the Shilan tribe who suddenly lost half of their number.

The second elder looked at the appearance of the first elder and said in a low voice
"Brother, what did the Sima family tell you?"

He saw the movement last night, the three-legged golden crow reappeared, and the second elder immediately thought of the record in Yu Yuan's classics. At that time, he was going to keep up with the first elder, but after thinking about it, he didn't.

"Second brother, let me ask you something, what do you think is the future of the Shilan clan?" the Great Elder asked.

"The guards of Yu Yuan have the mission of protecting Yu Yuan, but the Shilan people do not. These people are trapped in the Shu Mountains. No matter what the conditions are, they are not as good as the mountains. If it wasn't for the grain seeds and farming tools given to us by the Qin State, we are now I'm afraid I'm still worrying about survival." The second elder said with a sigh.

"So you want to let some of the clansmen go down the mountain?" the Great Elder asked.

"No, Qin will annex the world sooner or later. At that time, it will not make any sense for the Shilan people to be trapped in Mount Shu. If we don't recognize ourselves as Qin people, will it have any influence on Qin? On the contrary, our clansmen, looking at The life at the bottom of the mountain can only be envied, it is not necessary to let them go down the mountain, accepting the identity of the Qin people, accepting the help of the Qin country, maybe it is better for us." The second elder said lightly
"The future I deduced is different from yours. I saw a bloody massacre, and I also saw a brand new Shilan clan and Yu Yuan guards. You are the Great Elder, and the future of the Shilan clan is in your hands." .”

After speaking, the Second Elder got up and left the Fusang Sacred Tree. The First Elder was a little lost. The Second Elder's divination ability was stronger than him, and the affairs he deduced had never been wrong. Looking at the clan land of the Shilan Clan, the First Elder felt the last thing in his heart. The worry was gone, the opportunity was fleeting, Ziyou gave him seven days, these seven days were not for him to think, but for him to make all preparations.

Soon a middle-aged man came under the Fusang sacred tree.

"How many people are left in the clan?" the Great Elder asked.

"People close to the third elder have all left, and one-third of Yu Yuan's guards have also left. I followed the road secretly. Under the leadership of the third elder, they did not go to defend, but went to the left. There are also many other tribes in the house, and there are more than 5000 people." The middle-aged man said.

"I see, you go down and get the topographic map of Mount Shu and the road map to the stockade, and tell the people in the clan to stay behind closed doors these days and not to leave the clan without authorization," said the elder.

"Yes." The middle-aged man left.

At the same time, the Chen family,
Chen Shu looked at the letter sent from the mountain, which urged him to suppress the bandits. Three days ago, the patrolling soldiers accidentally captured two Shushan bandits. It is said that the results of torture have been obtained now, but the entire Shu County is still It looked like there were still rumors about the bandit suppression. In order to force Ziyou and Qu Yi to suppress the bandits, Chen Shu secretly sent people to fan the flames constantly, trying to increase the public opinion and make the bandit suppression a certainty.

But no matter how big the public opinion in the city is, there is always some news about the mobilization of the army. Qu Yi didn't say anything about the specifics of the bandit suppression, as if the people's suppression of the bandits was fabricated out of thin air. Ziyou didn't say anything clearly Wanting to suppress bandits was just understood by them as wanting to suppress bandits, but now Chen Shu had no choice but to make this bandit suppression come true.

"Patriarch, Magistrate Qu is here to invite you." The steward walked into the room and said.

"Mr. Qu invited me? What's the matter?" Chen Shu asked.

"I don't know, but Governor Qu not only invited the head of the family, but also invited many big families and chambers of commerce in the city. It is said that they are discussing the matter of suppressing bandits." The steward said.
