Chapter 583(2/2)

A Mo Zai said: "Some people who fled for refuge said that after the Qin people captured the Yue people, they took them to the inland and planted black sweet bamboos. Those sweet bamboos grow everywhere and produce red roots, which are sweeter than honey.

Sweet, Qin merchants used this red sweet root to trick greedy Yue people into going to the city, and then turned them into slaves!"

"Sweet bamboo? Red roots?"

Adagu couldn't imagine what it was.

"The elders said that it was watered with human blood, that's why it's so red."

Amozai pointed at Adagu's big toe with his bamboo spear again: "In order to prevent the Yue people from escaping, the Qin people also chopped off their left toes. This did not affect their work, but they could no longer run fast."

In just a few years, the Qin people captured tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Yue slaves from all over the south, including Changsha, Yuzhang, and Kuaiji!

Because he was afraid that if he agreed to the Qin people's request, all the tribesmen would become slaves, Amozi's father, the king of Gui, refused the request and drove the Qin people out.

I thought that their settlement was located deep in the mountains, blocked by water, and very safe. But then came the Qin army's invasion, saying that the Gui State was "rebellious". Under the leadership of several princes who surrendered to Qin,

Killed directly to their main settlement.

When talking about these things, Amozai's teeth were chattering. The battle was fierce, but the Yue people's bows and arrows could not penetrate the Qin people's thick scales, and the Qin people's weapons were as sharp as the fangs of a dragon.

It is sharp and can easily tear apart the bodies of Yue warriors.

Finally, the fire spread through the settlement, and Amozai's father left behind a small family, while Du Lao took the remaining tribesmen into the mountains and migrated south...

This is the story of the fall of Guibu.

Adagu was stunned, but at this moment, everyone walking out of the forest heard the deep sound of drums!

Ouyue, or Xiou, is actually just a tribal alliance. All the tribes established by the descendants who believe in the frog god call themselves Ou and are scattered over hundreds of miles. They have no cities, only settlements, and the largest settlement is also a place for worship.

The place where the ancestor spirits and frog gods live is this place called "Bandagu".

Dagu is rice and Ban is field. There is a huge settlement of thousands of people living in it. The outside is covered by mountains and dense forests, and its surroundings are opened up into vast rice fields. Women work in the fields and men are responsible for hunting.

After hearing the sound of the bronze drum, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the settlement. The bronze drum was a sacred instrument. Whenever it was sounded, it was either a sacrifice or a meeting to discuss important matters.

Translator Song also immediately called Adagu and the others, asking him, who was fast on his feet, to run back to the tribe to see what was going on.

Adagu was barefoot, but he was walking swiftly on the rice field path. Amozi followed closely behind him, and the crickets in the grass were frightened by them.

When the two of them approached the gate of Muzhai Village, they saw a shocking scene.

Jie Jun, who was responsible for guarding the village, had already led hundreds of people out, armed with wooden spears, bows and arrows, aiming at a group of uninvited guests.

It should be a caravan from the Qin people, but the difference from before is that this time, there are many more soldiers wearing armor in the caravan, and the leader is wearing black clothes with long sleeves, constantly wiping his forehead.

Khan's official son.

When the Qin officials glanced at the naked Yue people, there was a lot of contempt in their eyes, and they were still talking loudly in Qin language.

Every time he said something, the Yue man who looked like a translator on the side would translate for him: "The Changsha Shou Tu of the Great Qin Dynasty sent an official to see the Lord of Xiou!"

"It's the envoy of the Qin people!"

Just when he saw those people, Amozai's footsteps behind him stopped. Adagu could hear his angry voice mixed with fear, as if he was a deer that had just escaped from birth and saw a deer chasing him in the forest.

The reluctant wolf!
