Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 194
Although just looking at the statistics, the invading enemy is only twice as many as the warriors in the tribe, the gap is not too great, and there is a stronghold wall as a backing.

However, the defensive power of the log camp around the tribe is definitely not as strong as the city wall. It is okay in a short time, but it will definitely be difficult to prevent the Minyue people from attacking for a long time.

And since Minyue brought all the black silk guards with him, the rest of the warriors must also be the elite soldiers carefully selected by the whole Minyue.

What worries Luo Tian the most is that it comes from within Dongou. Judging from today's situation, there must be someone in the Dongou tribe who is involved with the Minyue tribe, and this person is definitely in a high position.

As a result, Luo Tian really didn't have much confidence that he could resist the attack of the Minyue people on the premise that his internal worries had not been eliminated.

If you don't do something, Dongou will perish, so after learning that Ziying has the ability to save Dongou from peril, Luo Tian regards Ziying as a straw.

"You don't need to worry about Qin Jun, just leave it to me. When I am writing a letter tomorrow, you can send someone to Qin Jun's coach Wang Jian." Ziying said calmly, as if he had said a trivial matter generally.

Luo Tian was overjoyed by Ziying's answer. Originally, in his idea, Ziying had already known the predicament that the Dongou tribe was facing now, and would definitely open his mouth like a lion, and even asked the Dongou tribe to surrender to him in secret. It's all possible.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ziying agreed to his proposal without any conditions.Moreover, Wang Jianlai, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, didn't show much fear, which made Luo Tian's mind moved about Ziying's identity.

It is rumored that Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, should be at the same age. This young man's demeanor is definitely not like a fish in a pond. Could it be that his real identity is Wang Ben, a general of the Qin army.

It is only with this identity that he can rely on Wang Jian's status to not be afraid of Lord Chang'an, and he can predict that Wang Jian will send troops to rescue him immediately after reading his letter.

Wang Ben had led troops to attack Chu State a few years ago and captured more than ten cities in Chu State. As a nominal subsidiary of Chu State, Luo Tian had naturally heard of Wang Ben's reputation.

But seeing that Ziying didn't reveal his identity, Luo Tian just smiled understandingly at Ziying, without pointing out his guess.

After Yue people preconceived that Mr. Chang'an was an old man, Luo Tian's guess was naturally far from the truth.

"We must settle down first when fighting against the outside world. I wonder if there was anything unusual about the death of the former Lord Dongou?" After talking about the Qin army's rescue, Ziying brought up the sudden sudden death of Zou Ling's father.

Luo Tian is respected in the tribe, and also has the duty of practicing medicine for everyone in the tribe. He must be one of the people who knows the most detailed cause of the death of the former Dongou Lord.

When this topic was mentioned, Luo Tian fell silent, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, if Luo Tian admits his mistake, the first gentleman must have died of poisoning!"

Ziying slightly raised his head and looked at Luo Tian suspiciously, Luo Tian then continued: "Although I can barely recognize that the first gentleman died of poisoning, but I can't identify what kind of poison it is, and this time The onset of the poison was extremely swift and violent, and the Xianjun passed away without leaving much time to react.

Being able to poison the first king silently must be someone very close to the first king, but the princess is not in the tribe, and I can't confirm who is the murderer who poisoned the first king, rashly telling the truth will definitely cause chaos in the tribe.

Therefore, it is only said that the first emperor died suddenly, but now it seems that the person who murdered the first emperor must be the person who colluded with Minyue! "

Luo Tian slowly expressed his concerns.

After Luo Tian finished speaking, Ziying also began to ponder. Who is the murderer can determine a rough range as long as he deduces from the perspective of who benefits.

However, this is just speculation, neither Ziying nor Luo Tian has any evidence to prove it.

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Ziying thought of a pair of bronze masks with bloody mouths that were enshrined on the spirit tablets of the ancestors of Dongou when he first entered the hall, and he took it into consideration for a while.

Fu Er whispered to Luo Tian, ​​at first Luo Tian was still puzzled, but slowly Luo Tian's eyes became bigger and bigger, doubts turned into surprise.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Luo Tian gathered all the close branches of the royal family in the entire tribe, and the generals and generals of each army, to the square under the altar where he lived.

At dawn, all the dignified figures of the entire tribe had gathered under the altar, and there were hundreds of people at a glance.

"Great witch doctor, what is this for?" Zou Ling under the altar asked Ziying in a low voice.

"Just wait and see the good show later!" Ziying ignored Zouling's pouty little mouth, and replied with an inscrutable smile.

"If you don't talk, don't talk, I don't like to hear it!" Zou Ling said with her lips pouted.

After a while, I saw the great witch doctor Luo Tian wearing the sacrificial robe that he usually wears to worship the heavens and ancestors, walking down from the altar while muttering words.

Followed by two bare-chested Dongyue warriors, they jointly carried a huge bronze mask with a huge mouth open.

The mask is fixed on a complete stone wall. From a distance, the huge mouth of the mask seems to swallow everything.

Luo Tian walked down the altar in a spirited manner all the way, came to the front of the crowd, took out a cloak made of wolf skin and put it on the mask in front of everyone.

The Dongou people were also confused by the actions of the great witch doctor for a while.

Most of them recognized this wolf fur cloak. When the first king was around, he would usually wear this cloak when inspecting the tribe. This cloak was made from the fur of a wolf he personally fought when he was an adult.

And the bronze mask with its mouth open is probably remembered deeply by everyone who has entered the hall on the altar. Many people saw such a vicious image for the first time when they were young, and even dared not sleep for several days.

However, this artifact is a sacred object enshrined in the ancestral temple of the Yue Kingdom. It is said that it is a mask worn by the gods. Later, after the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, it was obtained by the Dongou Lord.

Therefore, it has been respectfully enshrined above all the spirit tablets of the ancestors.

These two irrelevant things were so solemnly invited out by the great witch doctor this time, and the Yue people who came here were a little puzzled, what was the great witch doctor's intention.

At this time, the great witch doctor was holding a bronze staff and a wooden stick tied with colorful ribbons in the other, and began to dance on his own.

As soon as Luo Tian started dancing, the Yue people in the audience hurriedly knelt and sat down.

What Luo Tian danced was the sacrificial dance used by the Dongou tribe to communicate with the gods and ancestors.

According to legend, when the great witch doctors of the past dynasties performed the sacrificial dance, if the Yue people who were lucky enough to see them could sincerely worship the gods, they would be blessed by the gods and ancestors, and their wishes might even come true. Those who disrespected the gods would be cursed.

This sacrificial dance is usually only performed when the whole tribe gathers to worship their ancestors every year. Although they don't understand why the great witch doctor suddenly performed the sacrificial dance, all the people still knelt down sincerely according to the tradition.

Even Zou Ling forced Ziying to kneel down. In this era, the power represented by gods is omnipresent. It can be said that most people are fanatics.

On the contrary, some people who are closest to the gods have doubts about the existence of gods, such as the spokesperson of the gods in the Dongou tribe, the great witch doctor Luo Tian.If it weren't for Ziying's blasphemous proposal, Luo Tian would never have agreed.
