After the autumn harvest, the grain was put into storage, and the village chief of Shuhui Village received a notice to go to Chaolin City to enroll in school, and at the same time watched the deposit Yao enter the city and hand it over to Youji.
When the two of them left Hot Water Village, many residents of Chaolin City had already taken a carriage and horse, helping the old and the young to the village, ready to enjoy the warmth brought by the hot springs.
Thinking that the king would also come here to enjoy the hot springs, they felt that the work of the past two years had not been in vain, and they were happy in their hearts.
Walk briskly along the road lined with poles, lined with newly built villages and fields.
When I walked to the edge of Gou Lake, the original hunting passage became a field.
In the fields after the autumn harvest, you can even see small herds of migrating wild elephants.
The nearby peasants avoided the fellows and only let the counters count the elephants.
After a few years of cessation of hunting, some of these migratory mammoths slowly appeared.
According to the Kingdom's wildlife protection regulations, active hunting of elephants with less than 20 elephants is prohibited.
Although the public did not understand the significance of this wildlife protection regulation, they still complied with the king's requirements.
Therefore, these small-scale elephant herds are now less afraid of people, and they are roaming around the territory of China.
The two followed a small group of elephants to the north gate of Chaolin City, but were told that the prisoners could only enter the city through the west gate, and the two did not know what it was about, but they could only run to the west while it was dark, and finally rushed outside the west gate before dark.
At this time, the remnant sun was like blood, and there were few pedestrians outside the West Gate.
As the two ran towards the west gate, they were almost shocked by the tragic scene outside the west gate.
Outside the west gate, a cement avenue dozens of meters wide is paved, and the avenue is divided into elephants, horses, and sidewalks.
On both sides of the outermost sidewalk, the figures described as terrifying, with severed limbs, were scattered on both sides.
Under the setting sun, these figures were red with severed limbs, and their bodies were as good as new, as if they had just been moved down from the execution ground.
"Killed so many more," the village chief cried out in horror.
Jin Yao suppressed the panic in his heart, and looked carefully, but found that these were not real people, but stone carvings or terracotta figurines.
He looked at a stone tablet not far away, which read: 444 Prisoner Execution Statue.
Jin Yao raised his eyes to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw some terracotta figurines similar to those in the legend.
For example, in the group portrait, there is a loose face lying on the ground in fear, and the head of a terracotta figurine next to him flew out, and the naked lower body had something like yellow mud sprinkled and fell to the ground, which was obviously a roar.
In addition, there are some terracotta figurines that are not in a tragic state at the time of death, but in an embarrassing state before death, which are also carved out slightly clumsily.
Jin Yao helped the village chief and said: "They are all figurines, presumably to warn us, and they may have been made by the Propaganda Department." ” "Frightened" The village chief was shocked.
If he really killed so many more, he would want to go back to Hot Water Village directly.
It's not safe in the city.
The village chief thought so, and suddenly there was a sound of running and shouting from behind the figurines, as if the terracotta figurines had been resurrected, and the village chief was scared again.
When he raised his head, he saw that it was not the terracotta figurines that moved, but that there were people running in the field behind the terracotta figurines, and there were people chasing after them.
Fortunately, the terracotta figurines were separated by low walls in front and back, and there were gaps at intervals for people to pass through, so they did not rush directly into these displays.
"Victory, victory" shouted similar syllables from the mouths of the fleeing men in front of them, and rushed to the city gate with their lives.
It's just that when he rushed to the bottom of the tower, as if he was afraid of the tower, he rushed to the wall on the side, but was blocked by the moat, and was finally knocked down by the people behind.
Several gate guards asked with bows and knives.
The pursuer tied up the escapee and explained, "This is the wild man we caught in the west, and I wanted to register in the city and bring him back as a slave, but I accidentally let him break the rope and escape." ” The Kingdom's policy of encouraging the capture of Wildlings has not changed, and after the capture of Wildlings, they are exempted from the cost of hiring slaves for the first three years after registration, and if the slaves are handed over to the Kingdom, they can receive a gratuity for capture.
"There are villages in the west of here, where there are wild people, you don't have to catch the wrong person, the House of Elders will punish you, and you may become slaves yourself."
The guards at the gates dutifully said.
Several of the pursuers were young and strong, and they twisted the captured person to face the crowd: "You see, where is this kind of person with such a face, where do we have in Huaxia Moreover, he can't speak our words, and he sneaked into the vicinity of our village before being caught, maybe he is still a thief." ” After the man's face was twisted, everyone saw that the man's ears were thin and his eyes were turned out, which was very different from the Chinese people.
Several of the gate guards questioned him in different languages, and one even spoke in steppe language, only to be able to mumble words like "victory, victory."
Seeing this, the city gate guard waved his hand and prepared to ignore it, pulling the village chief to look at the lively Jin Yao and said, "Could he be asking Baron Shenglin to expand the department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, maybe they know each other."
It's just that if he lurks in our village, maybe he will still be a spy, and this can be handed over to the police or intelligence department to find out. ” Jin Yao noticed that when he said Shengscale, the person's gaze did change, and the "victory" in his mouth became more like "Shengscale", and became louder and louder.
Jin Yao's reminder, several city gate guards and the young man who caught the man paid attention to it.
"Does he have a companion?"
asked the gate guard.
"And seven or eight people."
"Bring them all together and take them to the police station.
We'll find a way to inform Baron Victor to make sure.

If they do sneak in, you'll have a great deal to do, don't worry. ” Jin Yao saw that the matter had been taken seriously, so he didn't care about it anymore, asked the village chief to symbolically tie his hands, and then went into the city after making a report.
He didn't hear about this so-called Zongmu Man for the rest of the year, until much later.
Because then, his fate took another major turn or was back on track, leaving him with no time to be distracted.
After walking out of the city gate, the city is already lit up by thousands of lights, as if there are two worlds separated by a wall.
Jin Yao walked along West Street to the Elders' Courtyard, which had already left work, but the doorman was obviously prepared, gave him a piece of paper, and directly transferred him to the Military Courtyard where the lights were still on.
In the past two years, the scale of hydroelectric power has expanded a lot, and electric lights have been used in the three major courtyards.
Shortly after the report, Jin Yao was untied and taken to Stonebeak's office.
The 100-square-meter office with a stone beak is more like a utility room, which is cluttered with books, models of various carriages, horses and boats, sand tables, globes, and so on.
His desk was not the hardwood executive desk that was commonly preferred by the kingdom's higher-ups, but a narrow boat table.
Jin Yao also noticed that the items on the table were basically fixed as if they were on a ship.
When Jin Yao arrived, an orderly brought dinner to Stone Beak.
Dinner was just bean sprouts, fish, a bowl of moldy rice and a glass of water.
"Come and eat, why don't you eat together?"
Stonebeak beckoned for the orderly to come in with another meal.
The food brought is also the same.
Could it be that the kingdom has fallen into some crisis and is already sleepy to such an extent Jin Yao looked at these meals comparable to those of labor prisoners, and couldn't stop guessing in his heart.
He thought it was unlikely, and wondered if it might be Stonebeak finding a reason to humiliate him.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that the stone beak was already holding his bowl and eating.
The stone beak didn't eat sweetly, and even frowned a little, but it ate very seriously.
Yes, it's serious, Jin Yao can be sure of that.
It's as if every drop of rice in the bowl is precious.
"How are you doing in Hot Water Village?"
Stonebeak began to greet casually as he ate.
The relationship between the two was not harmonious before, and this kind of conversation can be regarded as easing the atmosphere.
Jin Yao picked up something that he could say, and said it in a relaxed tone as much as possible, and at the same time began to eat to the rhythm of the stone beak.
Shi Beak continued: "Li Yihuo, I read the record of the conversation they had with you.
I'd like to ask you what you think of the kingdom's honorable system."
Stone Beak stopped eating when he asked this question, and also looked at Jin Yao seriously.
When Shi Beak had the most contact with Jin Yao in Hong'an Camp before, although Shi Beak was a count, he was only a thousand-commander, and according to the later military ranks, he was still one level lower than Jin Yao at that time.
Because now the chief of staff is a third-grade, at least at the level of a major general can be held.
Shi Beak seemed to be asking about the noble system, but what he actually meant was obviously asking Jin Yao's opinion of him.
Because now he is already a marquis, and Jin Yao, the baron, was deprived after he was sealed.
In terms of titles, the status of the two is very different.
Jin Yao may have eaten a bad rice and felt bitter, but he still said with a calm face: "The king's use of the lord system is conducive to the stability within the kingdom, and it can also show that he has rewarded meritorious officials.
Every title in the kingdom was earned by the great lords with their military exploits.
I was ignorant and didn't see this clearly, so I inevitably had some contempt in my attitude, and I hope you don't get too surprised. ” This is what Jin Yao really thinks after reflecting on it in the past two years.
Even if someone like Stone Beak won a prominent title at a young age because of "Dragon Merit", this is actually the result of Stone Beak's desperate efforts to follow Lin Ji.
When the kingdom was not established, he followed the forest trails to the sea or hunted, and there were a few people who were able to do it "If you can figure this out, I think your deprived title will be able to come back in a few years, and it may even be higher than the original."
I'm collecting people here, and if you don't have any other ideas, you'll be following me for the next few years, what do you think of your sentence in Hot Water Village, which has been reduced to three and a half years, and you will serve by my side for a year and a half.
I've already said hello to the House of Elders about this.
After a year and a half, the time is almost up, and I will give you a suitable position, even my deputy, based on your performance during this time. ” "What are we going to do" Jin Yao trembled slightly, and since he entered this room, he had begun to have some guesses.
When Stone Beak habitually encouraged or fooled him like this, he finally realized that maybe he was going to participate in a grand event that was no smaller than the conquest of the Ten Tribes.
And if he does it well, what Stone Beak said will probably come true.
Stone Beak smiled and gestured to everything around him, "Guess what?"
Jin Yao pointed at the globe with his chopsticks, and was so excited that he could barely speak.

"That's right, I'm looking for someone to travel the world, and my first stop might be the Americas, or even South America," said Stonebeak.
This will be our first time in those places, and our descendants will remember our names forever.
Haha, the king also said that it is better to wait a few more years for this, because there are indeed many difficulties now.
Do you know that after the vermilion monkey built the big ship, he couldn't get enough tung oil to oil the ship?
So, we have to figure it out ourselves.
Would you like to join?"
"I do, I do."
Jin Yao was finally inexplicably excited, and nodded tremblingly
