Chapter three hundred and forty-eight, the ruler is to give happiness to his own nation.
"You should be careful. [Fast updates, refreshing website pages, few advertisements, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, so I must review it."
Yuhan whispered that Qi Xing had already stood in front of Xing Meng, and the light of thunder and fire was jumping in his hands. In his eyes, although the other party was his own tribe, if he dared to attack Xing Meng, he would never show mercy.
A man who looks in his thirties walked out. Xingmeng once said that the Butian clan's lifespan is much longer than that of humans. He looks in his thirties, and his actual age has already exceeded 1,000.
"Princess Star Dream."
He was wearing a black-bottomed robe, holding a white banner in his hand. After seeing the star gate, he held the straight pole of the white banner in both hands and knelt on the ground.
"The Nantian lineage, Guo Huai, the patriarch of the Buliu tribe, pays homage to the princess."
Although he was very powerful, he seemed to be very respectful to Xingmeng. Xingmeng nodded and said, "It turns out that he is a compatriot of the Buliu tribe, please get up."
She stretched out her hands and wanted to step forward to help Guo Huai up, but after taking a step, she heard the other party say loudly: "Princess, please stop!"
Everyone was shocked when the shout was shouted. Xingmeng stopped and looked at the man named Guo Huai in front of him in surprise. Qi Xing stepped forward and scolded, "You are so brave. You dare to speak to the princess like this!"
Guo Huai lowered his head and said with a steady expression: "I know the purpose of the princess coming to the Nine Heavens to see us. She came here with so many outsiders, and there were only two purposes. One is to hope that we will leave with you and follow you into your secret realm. ($>>>'s little 'say' the second is to come to the statue of His Majesty the First Emperor. You want to hand over the statue of His Majesty the First Emperor to these outsiders, right?"
"Bastard! You are so brave. What does Your Highness the Princess do? Are you qualified to ask?"
Qi Xing was furious, and the lightning and lightning in his hand burst out at the same time, as if he was about to punish the man in front of him, but Xing Meng said, "Qi Xing, wait a moment."
Guo Huai held the white banner tightly and said, "Our Buliu tribe guards the statue of His Majesty the First Emperor for generations, and has never dared to neglect it. The statue of the First Emperor represents the spirit of our entire Butian clan, the Nantian lineage. It must not be handed over to outsiders, and my tribe will never leave you. This is our home, our hometown where we have lived for thousands of years. We will die here even if we die."
I stood behind. Xingmeng just said right. This is someone else's housework, and we don't need to interfere. However, the situation in front of us is very troublesome. Sometimes, for a person in power, it is much easier to deal with a treacherous minister who is arrogant than a loyal minister who is unreasonable. The former can be killed with one knife, and if you handle the latter improperly, you will be criticized as a loyal and righteous man who is willing to be loyal.
"What if I asked you to hand over my father's statue as the royal princess of the Nantian lineage?"
This is an absolute order, commanding the other party as a royal identity.
Guo Huai, who was holding the white banner tightly, said, "You may have never seen this white banner before." Low Jiangli was rubbish.
Xingmeng was stunned and looked over in surprise. There were no patterns on the white banner. It was very pure white and looked particularly clean. [Almost all books I want to read are, which are much more stable than ordinary websites and are updated faster. There are no advertisements for the full text.
"This white banner was handed over to our clan after the statue of the gods was completed by the First Emperor. There are thirteen branches of tribes, including our Buliu clan, who are responsible for guarding the statue of His Majesty. Each tribe has such a white banner, which is in the hands of the clan leader of each clan and has been passed down from generation to generation. The great disaster that year, the Butian Continent was broken, and our Nantian lineage was almost completely withered. The other twelve branches were almost destroyed. But we are still alive and have been defending. Now only one of us is still guarding the statue of God. This white banner symbolizes an immunity, and when the royal family asks to hand over the statue of His Majesty, you can get exemptions. Seeing this white banner, only His Majesty can order us to hand over the statue of God. Apart from this, we can disobey any person's orders. Therefore, even if you give the orders of the royal family to us, we will not obey!"
Xingmeng looked at the white banner floating in front of her, remembering when she was a child, when the First Emperor was still like a father, and would hold her and sit on her lap. She saw some tribe leaders walking in with pure white banners in their hands. The First Emperor would smile and say to her: "These people are tribal leaders who protect the last lifeline of the Butian clan's Nantian lineage, and they are respectable heroes!"
Xingmeng looked at Guo Huai in front of him. He did not attack himself or defeat him, but he was still full of hostility. He did not hand over the statue of the gods, did not follow her, and insisted on the final order of the First Emperor, like a group of the last beasts guarding the forest.
"What if I had to take the statue?"
Xingmeng's attitude became tougher.
"If that's the case, I think we'll take the necessary measures."
At this moment, Guo Huai raised his hand, and the people who followed him took off their coats, revealing the two swords inserted behind them. While pulling out the two swords, Qi Xing took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Do you want to rebel?"
"Of course we will not hurt His Royal Highness, but we will not let you take the statue of God away when you are alive, so we can only cut off our own life. After we die, the statue of God is powerless to protect, and we will not be considered as insulting our mission!"
While speaking, everyone put their swords on their necks. Xingmeng, Qixing, and all of us were shocked and forced to death. This kind of thing happened in TV series in the past, but now it really happened in front of me, but it made me feel a headache.
"you!"
Xingmeng looked at Guo Huai in surprise. The other party slowly stood up, pulled out the dagger from his waist and pointed it on his neck, and said coldly: "Your Highness, don't blame me for being too determined. When you betrayed Your Majesty the First Emperor and disappeared during the decisive battle, I would no longer obey you. Don't appear in front of me with your hypocritical appearance. I will not be fooled. Now I have to bring outsiders to take away His Majesty the First Emperor's statue. I hope you still remember your identity. After all, you are a princess from our Nantian lineage. Your Majesty the First Emperor is still your father!"
"What do you know! Back then, it was because of the First Emperor..."
Qi Xing couldn't help telling the truth about that year, but saw Xing Meng raise his hand to stop Qi Xing, then walked to Guo Huai, reached out to grab the white banner in front of him, and whispered: "You are willing to force me to give up on me by death. You said, once I step in, you will commit suicide, and want to use blood to stop my progress."
She raised her head and saw many ethnic groups looking out from inside the door. Most of them were wearing very worn clothes and living conditions were very poor. The whole village looked more like a refugee camp.
"People in the world always think that women cannot do anything. Wu Zetian has appeared in the world, and later generations will call her the name of a foolish monarch. They will also laugh at her for changing the country's name to the Great Zhou Dynasty and returning power to Li Longji. And the Butian clan is now the head of the family and I am the leader. I will not watch my people live in such a bad place. Whether it is the obstacles of outsiders or the so-called dissuasion of you, stubborn self-people, in my opinion, anyone who wants to destroy the happiness of my tribe's people is an enemy. Since it is an enemy, what does your life and death have to do with me?"
Guo Huai's pupils suddenly magnified, especially when he heard the last sentence, he showed a shocked expression.
"I only know one thing, they long for happiness, and you are still imposing it on them with your own creed." Xing Meng's face was cold and his momentum was very strong, instantly suppressing Guo Huai, who was still aggressive just now.
"Let's turn around and see what kind of life your people live? When my father was in power, he only knew that he had launched a war, which created a seemingly invincible dynasty but was destroyed in one go. Now I am the one in power. I want to create a place for my people to recuperate and have a peaceful life. If you even want to stop this, then you will die!"
While speaking, she pushed Guo Huai away and walked towards the village with big strides. Guo Huai was about to speak, but Qi Xing kicked him on the body, grabbed his collar and said, "Don't go too far. Let your people be buried with him for a damn First Emperor. Is this what you want? Tell you, it was because of..."
