The first step that Hua Yunfei and the others learned from Ye Xiaotian's strategy against County Magistrate Meng was division. Therefore, they drove the disciples out of the school in the name of the Eight Elders.
They had already seen a hundred feet of soft red, how could they stand the green water and green mountains? This was not an outing, but a place where they would have to live for years, especially when they were a group of energetic children.
These children were either the sons of a banner leader, the sons of a cave leader, or the children of a respected elder in a tribe. Their hope of living in the prosperous world was forcibly strangled, and they did not have enough respect for the Divine Hall. One could imagine the heavy resentment in their hearts.
In response to the Venerable's call to choose children from their own families to go out of the mountains to study, the big families in the mountains naturally chose the children that they valued the most and doted on the most. One could imagine the influence these children had on their fathers and elders.
One could imagine the great influence they would have if so many children were released back into the mountains. Most importantly, they could directly influence those in the ruling class.
When the Eight Elders ordered the mountain people to return, they did not forget them, but deliberately avoided them. This was because the Elders also knew how attractive the outside world was to these children who grew up in the mountain village. They hoped to wait until the Venerable returned to the mountains and everything stabilized before calling these children back.
However, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi acted ahead of time. They did something that the Elders thought was right at the wrong time. It was still wrong, but it was brought forward by a period of time, and the meaning it produced was completely different.
When Ye Xiaotian's news was sent to Tongren, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi had already taken a step ahead of time. The two sides coincided. The hundreds of children and the hundreds of fire seeds had already been scattered by Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi to the Innumerable Mountains in advance.
…
Gedore had been having a hard time recently. He was the one who contacted the other big tribes that were close to him to come out of the mountains. After the leaders of the other big tribes went to Gedore's new village, they also accepted the Venerable's call. Many preparations had been made for the relocation, but now it was all for naught. How could they not complain?
And the people of Gedore's village were even more dissatisfied. This continuous relocation was very damaging. After returning to the mountains, they found that the low grass huts that they were used to living in were now so simple and difficult.
When they picked up their hunting bows, took off their shoes, and continued to hunt in the mountains half-naked in order to save clothes, they thought that they could exchange their game with the people in the villages and towns at the foot of the mountains at any time in the past, but now they had to wait until the monthly market day before they could make the long journey out of the mountains. When they thought that the fertile fields that they had worked so hard on and planted their seeds and sprouted green seedlings were now abandoned or owned by others, these hunters, who had a sense of the land, were in so much pain that they could not eat or sleep.
All these complaints and complaints were all on Gedore's shoulders. Even if some people did not dare to complain to his face, their expressions and expressions were like heavy bricks, gradually piling up into a mountain on Gedore's shoulders.
In addition, in his home, although Duo Ni was very sensible and did not show any words or expressions in front of him, he could still hear faint sobbing coming from the next room in the dead of night.
If that was all, he could comfort himself by saying that he did not hesitate to carry out the order of the Divine Hall. But the Divine Hall stabbed his already fragile heart with a knife.
The Divine Hall told him that a new place had been designated for him, and he had to move there with his tribe within seven days. The Divine Hall also appointed two disciples of the Gedore tribe to be the tribe's wizards.
Originally, as one of the seven guardian tribes closest to the Divine Hall, they were directly under the jurisdiction of the Divine Hall and did not need to have wizards stationed in the village. Now they appointed two wizards to be stationed in the village for him and used the divine right to restrict his ruling power. This was not only a sign of distrust, but also a sign of the degradation of the status of the Gedore tribe.
Gedore was confused. For the first time, he had doubts about carrying out the order of the Divine Hall, "Is it really the will of the Poison God that is opposed by all the people in the tribe? Am I doing the right thing? "
…
In the garden of the Divine Hall, Ye Xiaotian, Su Xuntian and Li Qiuchi were walking slowly. The Divine Hall was undoubtedly a miraculous building, magnificent and beautiful. But Ye Xiaotian thought it was more suitable for sightseeing. If one were to live in it, the spacious hall and the huge bedroom with only a single bed that was thirty feet high and fifteen feet wide would only give one an oppressive and cold feeling.
Only the garden on the roof of the palace still had a bit of liveliness, making him feel that he was not a walking corpse. Therefore, he spent most of the day here. Here, the guards and servants did not need to wait on him at all times, and this was also the place that made him feel most at ease.
Li Qiuchi said, "Yunfei and Old Mao finally learned to be smart this time. Before Dongweng gave the order, they repatriated all the students of the Civil School and Martial Arts Meet. I heard that when these children returned to the mountain, they complained to the elders in their families. At first, the elders didn't care about it, but after a long time, they all thought it was a good thing to let the children go out and gain experience. Now the elders have a headache about it. "
Mao Wenzhi said, "It's the same in Gedore's tribe. I think that old man Gedore can't stand it anymore. Really, why does he listen to the Divine Hall so much? Brother, you are his son-in-law. How can you help an outsider? He deserves it. "
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "These may not have any effect now, but they will have great power in the future. If we don't give in and take the initiative to do something, then they will have time to react! "
Li Qiuchi's eyes flashed slightly. He said, "Milord, are you talking about … pardoning the prisoners in Golden Sand Valley?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "That's right! They didn't offend the Divine Hall at the same time, so they were easily dealt with. If we let them go now, the Eight Great Elders will definitely be unable to attend to one thing and lose sight of another. Moreover, these people didn't have the approval and support of the Venerable back then. If they have my support now, in addition to their original strength, hehe … "
Li Qiuchi frowned and said, "But what reason do we have to pardon them? Once they get out, they may cause trouble for the eight elders, but without a sufficient reason, they can't be pardoned at all. The elders are not willing to let Dongweng come into contact with the believers, and the decrees are not out of the Divine Hall. What can we do? "
Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but frown. He sighed and said, "Yes, it's hard to find an opportunity now. I originally wanted to use the opportunity of the tribes offering concubines to get in touch with their leaders, but the elders took care of it all. I didn't have a chance to talk to them at all. "
Li Qiuchi said, "Has Dongweng thought of any idea?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Not yet."
The three walked in silence for a while. Ye Xiaotian said, "Other than when the Venerable ascends to the throne, the leaders of the tribes will come and be personally received by the Venerable. There aren't many other opportunities. Even if it's my birthday, sigh … the people of the Gu God Sect don't pay much attention to birthdays."
Li Qiuchi thought for a while and said, "If an emperor wants to come out of the palace to meet his subjects, it will usually be during a war or a grand festival, such as when offering sacrifices to the heavens or praying to the gods. As the Venerable, does he have such an opportunity?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "Little, very little! Maybe it's only once in a few years. Unless there's a miracle, one that all the tribes know about and the elders can't hide, then I'll have the chance to gather the leaders of the tribes and a large number of believers. Then I'll announce the oracle in front of everyone and the elders can't stop it. "
"Miracle … Miracle …"
Li Qiuchi was distressed. He smiled bitterly, "If Dongweng knew this would happen, he would've subdued Priest Chang Feng from the Seven Mysteries Temple. If he's here, he can help Dongweng create a miracle."
Ye Xiaotian was moved. He rubbed his chin and said, "Hmm … should we inform Yunfei and the others to find the whereabouts of that swindler? As long as we pay him enough benefits, I believe he'll come. "
At this time, the rumbling of thunder came from the Lightning God Forbidden Area in the distance. Su Xuntian couldn't help saying, "This Lightning God Forbidden Area is really strange. There's actually thunder every day. If the heavens help and suddenly stop the thunder, then Milord can take the opportunity to announce that it's a miracle."
Ye Xiaotian didn't pay attention to his words. He just shook his head lightly and continued to think if he could find Priest Chang Feng and ask him to help "perform a magic trick". Hearing Su Xuntian's words, Li Qiuchi's eyes lit up. He said, "Stop the thunder? Maybe it really can be done! "
Ye Xiaotian looked at him in astonishment. He said, "Sir Li, you're not joking, are you? I've seen that thunder with my own eyes. The mountains in the Lightning God Forbidden Area were struck by lightning and scorched earth everywhere. Under the divine might of the heavenly thunder, it's simply not something that can be stopped by human strength."
Li Qiuchi said, "Milord has always been knowledgeable. Don't you know that although the heavenly thunder can't be completely controlled by human strength, as long as the method is appropriate, it can be changed many times?"
Ye Xiaotian's "knowledgeable" was learned from those prison officials. This kind of knowledge was unorthodox to those scholars who became officials and were disdainful of it. Only Yang Lin was an anomaly who liked to learn.
Ye Xiaotian immediately said, "Please explain in detail, Mister!"
Li Qiuchi stood still and opened the folding fan in his hand with a "hua", revealing the golden signboard of "Yelang's Number One Fine". He said proudly, "Thinking back, when this student just made his debut, I took over a bizarre murder case. It was precisely because I solved this case that this student's reputation rose and became famous in Qianzhong. Hahaha …"
Su Xuntian unhappily interrupted his laughter and said, "Don't show off your old sesame seeds. Quickly tell me, how do you want the Lightning God to withdraw?"
