I Have a Mythical Tree

One month before the death of the sun, Taicheng is always very quiet in the morning, because many people have nothing to do at this time.

Except for the workers who routinely repair river embankments and city walls; the officials and petty officials who work all year round; and the army who practice daily, almost everyone else lives at home. After all, the third maturity period is over. However, most of the Taicang people engaged in agriculture no longer need to worry about planting, harvesting, and storing food.

The usually sparsely populated city gate is extremely lively today, because last night the first marching army returned to Tai Cang to report that the king's war against the dove and dog had come to an end, and the Yinwei set off to return to the country.

Considering how dangerous it is to march at night, all of them are temporarily stationed in the outskirts of the South Forbidden Forest, and can return to Taicheng early the next morning.

Wang Ting put up the announcement overnight, and it was passed on by word of mouth by the Taicang people who got up early, and there was a grand occasion in front of the city gate.

Many people gathered in groups on the empty streets on both sides of the city gate, whispering about the content of the announcement.

"Many Taicang people don't agree with the lord's personal conquest of Jiugou this time. After all, Jiugou Kingdom has been stronger than me, Taicang for a long time. It is a bit too capricious for the lord to make a rash decision. "An old man with white beard and hair in a white robe spoke.

On the old man's chest is a wooden badge, roughly the size of a thumb, with a plane tree pattern on it, which looks special and solemn.

This wooden badge was issued by the royal court, and it was only issued to old people over a hundred years old. The old man with this badge was called Biwu old man in Tai Cang.

Cultivators tend to live longer than ordinary people, but in Taicang, there are still very few people who can cultivate. In addition, those who can cultivate in Taicang need to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, which creates an embarrassing situation that there are few monks among the long-lived people.

All long-lived people have a very high status in Taicang, and those who are over a hundred years old do not need to salute when they see the king.

On the contrary, the lord of the country needs to visit the long-lived old people regularly every year to show respect.

Because in the boundless wilderness, not only a strong body is needed to live a hundred years old, but also luck far beyond ordinary people.

The old man in white robe spoke, and the young man beside him quickly agreed.

"What the patriarch said is that the lord of the country has unique insights in many things and has contributed a lot to me, but after all, he is a little young and it is too easy to overdo it."

"The dove dog and the crocodile horn are fighting. We just need to watch from the sidelines and let them fight with each other. There is no need to use Tai Cang Erlang's life as a bet and intervene."

"It's okay for the lord to attack Jiugou, but he only brought two thousand people with him! I don't know what he thought!"

"What's more ruthless are those high officials in the royal court! The king is young and has no sense of proportion. Many of them have beards as long as Grandpa Biwu in the clan, but they let the king mess around!"

The scene became a little strange, it suddenly turned into a criticism meeting to criticize Ji Xiahu's reckless behavior, and it became more and more fierce, even the ministers of the royal court became the targets of criticism.

"But it is clearly stated in the notice that Tai Cang has won a great victory, and the Tai Cang Silver Guards have seized a lot of spoils, and there are five big burdens."

While everyone was talking, a timid voice suddenly came from the corner, and many people turned around only to find an extremely beautiful young girl standing in the corner behind them, leading a lamb with stag horns.

This young girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is slim and graceful, with a perfect head and eyebrows. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a superior figure.

The people who were being refuted heard a young voice interjecting, and originally wanted to curse a few words, but seeing such a young girl, they immediately dismissed such ideas.

An old man looked kindly and asked the girl, "little girl, which family do you belong to? There are many people here, be careful and wait for the crowd to hurt you."

This young girl is Jing Yu. She heard that Ji Xia was personally recruiting doves and dogs, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night in just two days. She was woken up by the neighbors on Nanqing Street early this morning.

It was said that the king led the army back, and the confused girl who always loved to sleep in was unwilling to even sleep in, so she took the reluctant Huaishuang and ran to the city gate.

Later, while waiting, the girl was very unconvinced when she heard that many people were complaining about the king, so she timidly spoke this scene.

"Little girl, you don't understand important national affairs. Although the notice says that I have won the victory, it doesn't say how to win. If only one or two hundred of the two thousand Tai Cang sons died, how could it be good? "

"What we are worried about is this. Of course we are happy to win the battle and rob the treasures, but if these treasures are bought by my Tai Cangerlang's life, then no matter how precious these treasures are, it is a loss-making business."

Jing Yu opened a pair of bright eyes. She heard everyone patiently explaining to her, and she also felt the truth in her heart, but on the other hand, she felt that she should support the decision of the king.

So she spoke for the lord again: "But war is inevitable. If you just worry about the dead, wouldn't Tai Cang be bullied by other countries forever?"

The hundred-year-old old man Biwu actually had a smile on his old face, and explained: "What the little girl said is also reasonable, but this time is different from the past. In the past, Taicang's family was threatened by foreign enemies. Naturally, we must It is worthwhile to die willingly and pay the price of young people's death."

"Young people will die, and those of us who are old and frail, we old people will not rely on the old to make a living, even if we don't have much strength, we still have to hit those enemies with a stick, punch those enemies, and let them know that I am Taicang has nothing but blood!"

"But this time the situation is special. The king took the lives of his people as a bet to participate in a game that had nothing to do with us. Although he won and looted some treasures, it must be very difficult to win. This family will suffer the pain of losing their children."

There was deep worry in the eyes of this Biwu old man: "With all these things, do you still think it is right to go to war?"

Jing Yu on the side heard that such an old man was always worried about Tai Cang and always thinking about the people of Tai Cang. Why did you speak for the king?

"Of course it's worth it."

Suddenly there was a lot of commotion in the crowd, several figures walked forward in the crowd, and the crowd spontaneously gave way for the three of them to walk.

When the three of them came, there were people kneeling down and saluting constantly, shouting: "Great wind protects you, the lord is safe."

It was only then that Jing Yu saw that the three people coming were the Lord Taicang, General Ji, and an extraordinary young man in green robes.

Ji Xia first entered the city with the first step of Tai Cang Yinwei, just in time to meet the discussion of the crowd, he walked slowly in front of the old man, saluted with a long bow, with a sincere smile on his face, and asked: "Old man Biwu, is your body still in good health?" ?”
