The hardest thing to crush is the tenacity of a person's heart, especially the one who has had great ambitions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Yuelun squatted on the ground and cried, Chen Jian knew that this time the dust had really settled, and he was on the right team, although it was only neutral, but neutrality was the greatest support for the side with huge advantages.

At least for now, Xia Cheng has not interfered with the internal politics and prestige of the rest of the cities.

The old leader continued to show his mercy, because there was no evidence that the fire was indeed set by the moon wheel, so according to the law of the city, the moon wheel was exiled from the city within ten days, and never to return.

He could take his slaves and property from the land, and he was saddled with a crime that would never be cleared away, and he could never return to the city.

It doesn't matter who set the fire, because people are happy to believe that the murderer they hope is the real murderer of the fire.

Expulsion from the city is only a dead end, and what can the so-called property carry in the age when there is no money? And for a man who aspires to be a leader, prestige and power are the greatest treasures, but he has nothing.

As Chen Jian expected, the Moon Falcon, who had been silent and only killed with a word when the Moon Wheel counterattacked, became the new priest of Yueyi, and took charge of the rights after the Moon Wheel left, because of this merit he received a lot of slaves and land, and everyone agreed.

The green buttocks are dead, the moon wheel has ten days to leave the city, and the two largest family forces in the small circle except for the leader clan are completely finished, but the power vacuum is quickly replenished by the moon falcon who stands out.

The good reputation of the day has reached its peak when he pushed the leader, and this time the feats are even more convincing to everyone, and also make everyone feel at ease with his divination.

The old chief, on the grounds that he was old and sick, learned from the practice of the most powerful tribe on both sides of the river many years ago, and let the moon falcon be slaughtered...... This official position, which is customary in the name of a person, is in charge of helping the chief to share in some things.

The death of the green buttocks and the defeat of the moon wheel, all these old leaders did not take action in person, and even forgave the death of the moon wheel but expelled it, which is even more convincing. In the past two months, the top three families of the city lost their land and reputation in a few days, and completely faded out of the center of power.

This is the surface that Jian Chen saw, at least he felt that he understood, from the beginning of the layout to the current result, the winner has always been in control, and the two people who are most likely to become the next leader have died, so that the leader of Xian can not shirk from now on.

But what is the purpose of this? At first, Chen Jian thought that the leader of Yueyi wanted secular power to defeat the priest's divine power, but in the end, he supported a new priest; Another possibility is that the old leader wanted to break up the two most powerful families and let them kill each other, but the result was not to immediately collect all the power, but still to give a lot of power to the other.

Until the last minute, no leader will use the power of his countrymen to get them involved in politics, and they will try to avoid it, because no one can be sure that this double-edged sword will always be in their hands.

From this point of view, the contradictions before Yueyi have accumulated deeply. The defeat of the moon and the blue buttocks, and the redistribution of land and slaves, put an end to this internal contradiction that had accumulated for twenty years, and this cycle, if artificially controlled, was indeed a way to alleviate the contradictions.

"Could it be that the old man of Yueyi is just trying to ease the conflict? This method is okay now, and it will not be possible for one person to control it for hundreds of years. Even if a person's strength remains the same, the entire interest class will grow stronger and stronger, and if you want to redivide it in this way, there is only one way to break it and start over. Those who want not to break the internal system will inevitably get a reputation as a tyrant and a faint monarch in the history books...... It's still a small city. ”

He used the only credible excuse he could think of to convince his doubts, and the matter of Yueyi was full of suspicions, but fortunately he was only a bystander.

Because of his correct position as a bystander, three days after this incident, Chen Jian received the greatest courtesy from Yueyi, and a grand banquet was waiting for him.

And before the formal banquet, a small banquet also began in the chief's room, with only a few participants.

Yuemei was overjoyed by her father's recovery, and followed behind her father, quietly looking forward to Jian Chen's arrival, at least this time she could have the heart to ask why the fire was extinguished, and the many strange things she had heard about Xia Cheng.

"The best...... It's best not to talk about the forest and the corpses. Tell me how nice it is to have some white flowers in the Cinnacle Forest......"

In anticipation, Jian Chen came, and as she wished, he did not say anything dark, but constantly praised all kinds of Yueyi, and from time to time he would sing a few ballads of Xia Cheng, and he seemed a little drunk with the slightly cloudy corn wine, and there was some repetition and incoherence when he spoke.

In fact, Jian Chen was very sober, Xia Cheng had mastered a very good steaming technique in order to extract colchicine, and the concentration of wine head was very high at the beginning, and this sweet koji wine in Yueyi couldn't get him drunk at all.

Xia Cheng has made wine from sprouted wheat from the beginning, and now he has learned the techniques of the rest of the cities, and he has learned how to convert starch into sugar from koji without the starch to maltose when it is sprouted, and many technological advances are either learned secretly or pretended to be inadvertently asked.

Many things are just a layer of superficiality, Chen Jian understands the principle but does not know the specific technology, others may not hear anything, but he can hear the key technology he wants to know.

The pottery of Yueyi is very special, this is what Chen Jian pays special attention to, and the person who fired this pottery is also a sage of Yueyi, maybe it was just an accident at first, but now it has formed a basic and perfect technique.

The pottery of Yueyi already has a primitive glaze, and it is not yet porcelain, but it has the prototype of porcelain, and at least half a foot has stepped into the era of porcelain, which is regarded as the primary product of primitive porcelain.

In the history of previous lives, wherever there were human activities, wherever civilization developed on its own, even in the Americas, which had been isolated from the world for a long time, there were pottery unearthed.

However, the leap from pottery to porcelain, which was unique in the entire previous life, and monopolized the key technology for thousands of years, the seemingly simple principle is difficult to do.

Chen Jian pretended to be drunk and praised a few words about the pottery of Yueyi, and praised the glaze of Yueyi pottery as smooth as the skin of a girl in Yueyi, which is a very novel metaphor, Yuemei giggled, and secretly looked at the comparison between her exposed arm and the pottery placed in the room.

However, the leader of Yueyi did not answer, but said to his daughter: "Mei, if Ji Xia hadn't appeared that day, I am afraid you would have been burned to death." Go and thank him. ”

Yuemei raised the turbid wine glass, and quietly looked at her reflection by the light to see if there was anything unbeautiful, and slightly hid her fingers behind the pottery, and some complained that the person who burned this pottery cup had a glaze on the outside that was more delicate and beautiful than her fingers. Otherwise, why did Ji Xia keep staring at those pottery?

"Ji Xia, thank you. Please drink this cup. ”

Jian Chen came back to his senses, smiled, drank the glass of thanks, and wanted to lead the conversation to the pottery, but the old leader suddenly sighed.

Chen Jian knew that it would be a bit embarrassing to ask about pottery again at this time, so he had to hold back, pretending to be extremely concerned and asking, "Why is the leader lamenting?" But what's the trouble? ”

"I was going to go to Sucheng, but now that there are so many things going on in the city, I can't leave for the time being. I've heard about Xia Cheng, although the moon wheel has done a lot of things that disappoint me, but it's done right in this matter, Xia Cheng is qualified to become an oath kin, because Ji Xia not only defeated the Xirong people and the grassland tribe, but also shared the thunder and lightning power under his control with various clans, even if such a city does not have an oath, it is closer than some tribes that have sworn an oath. ”

When Chen Jianchu heard that the leader couldn't go, he thought that this was to refuse, but when he heard the latter words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The leader has just recovered from a serious illness, so he can't go that far, and Yueyi really can't leave the leader."

"Yes, I wanted the Moon Falcon to go in my place, but I'm too old to have a priest in the city, so he can't go. Alas, I originally wanted to personally recommend Xia Cheng to join the alliance in Sucheng, but ...... People are always no match for the elderly. ”

Jian Chen squeezed out a smile, and the old leader continued: "I will let people go, and I will definitely propose Xia Cheng's entry into the alliance at that time." But there are some things I want to say to Ji Xia. ”

"Please."

"Ji Xia regards the kinship city as a brother, but the rest of the cities may not be a brother in Xia Cheng. In the past 20 years, the grand occasion of the original oath seems to be still in front of us, but now there are only sixty-four of the seventy-one relatives who swore the oath, and how many of the clans that disappeared were wiped out by the barbarians? How many clans and barbarians have come very close, and even sworn with the barbarians to attack their relatives back then? ”

"Those weapons that control the amount of thunder and electricity in Xia City are better not to be shared with all clans, this is my advice as an elder."

Jian Chen was stunned for a moment, he never expected this person to say such a thing, he didn't understand his true purpose, anyway, he didn't believe that this person could selflessly think about Xia Cheng.

Evidently these words were only the beginning, for the old chief raised his glass and moistened his throat, ready to speak at length to reveal his true purpose, or the purpose of which he could not see for the time being.

Just as Jian Chen was listening and was about to see what the old guy was going to say, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then several people rushed in and shouted, "Chief! Chieftain! The moon wheel is crazy! He and his people rioted! ”

Jian Chen found that the old leader's wine glass was very stable, and it didn't seem to tremble at all, and his heart was reassured, it seemed that this matter was also under control, it was nothing more than forcing Yuelun to find his own death.

But then the messenger's words made the old leader's hand shake suddenly.

"Moon Wheel doesn't know how to do it, and burns down Moon Falcon's house! The Moon Falcon is trapped inside! ”

"What!?"

The old leader got up and left with a strange scream, and Jian Chen also hurriedly followed, a fire had already ignited in the distance, and the people around Yuelun in the smoke had already died cleanly, this was a certain death.

But Yuelun was not dead, he was neatly dressed, wearing jade at his waist, wearing silk, his hair was pulled up, and he was holding a longbow, as if he was waiting for something.

When he saw the old leader appear, he smiled at the old leader, did not cry or howl, as if he was going to a banquet, and slowly walked into the burning sea of fire, the center of which was the house of the moon falcon.

In the sound of Bi Bo's thatch burning, there was a very faint word, like a farewell.

"You ruined my present, I ruined your future." (To be continued.) )
