Chapter 291 Like a trapped beast
It was because of the popularity of Nanyang Jingdu, which was why Dayue became greedy and took down the original friendly countries and made it a small county under his own.
The Nanyun Kingdom was not big, but it was just a small country living in a corner. However, when Dayue really wanted to seize the "fat meat" he wanted from Nanyun, it still took a lot of effort to make it happen. The price was much greater than what Emperor Chengzhen thought at the beginning.
Amobi was unable to ate Cangcheng for a long time and Dayue, but because Dayue was strong and powerful. However, compared to Amobi, the Nanyang people who were far inferior to them were able to fight hard, could also resist the conquest of Dayue for several years.
Ye Kui once thought about this issue that he could fight against the greater with the weak and fight against the strong with the weak, but he could still last for several years. It can be seen that there must be something different about the Nanyun Kingdom.
In history, there was no country like Dayue or Nanyue, so Ye Kui had no way to know anything about Nanyue that Dayue people knew. However, she still thought of the difference. The geographical location of Nanyue Kingdom was too special.
Ye Kui thought that the southern Xinjiang among the people of Dayue was completely different from the southern Xinjiang she knew later.
But when she really saw the map, she found that although there were differences, they were not big.
When it comes to southern Xinjiang, her first reaction is the word witchcraft.
The Nanzhao Kingdom in history must have similarities with the Nanzhao Kingdom in this world. Witch doctors, insects, and totems...
"Totem!" Ye Kui took a deep breath. There was a point that she had forgotten for a long time. At this time, she suddenly appeared. She had never thought about it anywhere else, but now it was like a combination of pieces, which seemed to be connected into a clear line.
Qin Sang heard her scream, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Madam, what are you talking about?"
Ye Kui inhaled in a low voice and asked, "What totem does Nanyun Kingdom have?"
"No..." Qin Sang shook his head, looking a little confused.
Ye Kui was also a little surprised when she heard this and said anxiously: "There is no totem? So what kind of gods or beasts are there to worship?"
Qin Sang still shook his head, but after a pause, she suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment and said, "Madam, I remember. Although I was still young when I left, I vaguely remembered that we once heard my father say that we worship the evil-repelling beast! However, my family has been poor since childhood, and I have never seen my father worship him, so I never knew what the evil-repelling beast looked like."
Evil--
As if a thunder fell in his ears, Ye Kui half opened her mouth and reached out to cover her flat belly.
How could she forget...
That thing looks like a ward off evil spirits...
Vicious Evils are also known as Pixiu. According to legend, it is a ferocious auspicious beast. Ye Kui has never figured out how the word "Fei" and "Rui" are placed together. Shouldn't auspicious beasts be kind and amiable? But Pixiu is such a ferocious beast.
In ancient Chinese myths and legends, evil spirits have a dragon head, a horse's body, and a unicorn's feet, and gray-white hair. It looks like a lion. It has no wings, but can fly. It has long horns on its head, which is hideous and terrifying. It is exposed, but it is a auspicious beast.
At this moment, Ye Kui finally remembered the tattoo on Pei Changge's back.
When he was young, he was playing in the water in spring. Pei Changge's clothes on his back were soaked by Chunxi, and a picture was faintly reflected on his head.
She was puzzled for a long time before she finally saw the picture clearly after marriage.
It looks like a beast.
Pei Changge had such a strange beast tattooed on his back.
The patterns were very fine, the feathers and claws, and even the texture on the corners were very clear. The black-colored lines made of unknown things were densely covered with spider webs, covering his jade-like smooth back, lifelike, as if the next moment, it would open its mouth and rush out of his skin.
Looking under the light, it was full of weirdness and evil spirit.
It is hideous and sensational.
She asked Pei Changge curiously, but he smiled and made excuse him. Now she finally remembered that thing is to ward off evil spirits!
It is a divine beast worshipped by the people of Nanyang, to ward off evil spirits!
But why is such a thing tattooed on the young general of Dayue? No, that thing obviously took root on his back when he was very young!
How could there be no secrets in this?
Ye Kui tried hard to breathe smoothly, and forced himself to calm down and sent Qin Sang out.
She needs to do it carefully and then...
Of course, it would not be normal for the autumn year to rush to the old capital of Nanyang at this time. There must be a very important reason for him to rush over at this time. But what is the reason? How important and secret is that he can't even tell her, his wife, so he would ride his horse without leaving a word alone?
He must have noticed something...
Ye Kui took out the paper and pen, dipped it in ink and started writing down the keywords on the paper.
Cangcheng, blockade news, leaving in autumn, Nanfeng, ward off evil spirits, secret... After writing these words, Ye Kui held a pen and twisted it and rewritten the words "Yong'an Hou couple, their mother's relics". Intuition told her that all this was related.
When he was fighting in Nanyun, the person who led the troops was Pei Changge's father, Yong'an Hou Pei Fei, and the other person was Ye Kui's grandfather, Xiao Sheng.
After counting on his fingers, Pei Changge and his brothers were born the following year after they won Nanyang's triumphant return.
There seems to be no problem with this, but now I think about it, there is a mystery everywhere. In addition, Ye Kui's grandfather's final fate, Nan Yun's affairs were even more strange. The tattoo on Pei Changge's back would not have been the tattooed by the Nan Yun who had been fighting for so many years, and the relationship was revealed, so he tattooed the magical beast of Nan Yun on his young son's back to ward off evil spirits?
This is simply nonsense!
The ink on the tip of the pen was heavy, and it dripped onto the paper with a "click".
Ye Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and wrote the three words Pei Changning in the ink mark.
The eighth old man Pei Changning is Pei Changge's twin brother. Pei Changge has an evil-proof tattoo on his back. Will he have it on his body?
But she had no way of knowing this question. She couldn't hurry over and ask Pei Changning or Luo's words, right? She wasn't crazy yet! If she really ran over and asked like this, wouldn't it be a big joke all the time?
But this question seems very important.
Ye Kui lowered her eyes and painted Pei Changning's name with two strokes.
It's not that there is no way, but it's not the time to ask. Before the matter is clearly defined, it will only alert the snake. Even if she doesn't know what the snake is and is hiding where she is, she has to be careful.
Pei Changning cannot see things, so he must need people to serve him in close proximity. Unlike Pei Changge, people who serve him must be indispensable. So just ask the person who serves him, it is not difficult to know.
But she has to solve the problem first.
At the beginning, the Great Vietnamese army was in a hurry, but it was difficult for the dense forests of Nanfeng Kingdom, and there were many miasma, poisonous snakes and insects, which delayed for a long time.
However, in the end, when the soldiers and generals of Dayue returned to the court, everyone knew that the emperor of Nanyang led many concubines and children to commit suicide in the Nanyang Palace, with blood flowing into a river, and there was no living person.
Many people have not figured out how Nanyang lost in the end.
The forest was there, and the poisonous snakes and insects were everywhere. The Dayue army fought very hard. The defense lines were one by one, as if they could not rush to the center of Nanyang. But in the end, the Dayue army easily entered the territory of Nanyang like locals.
The poisonous insects and miasma suddenly seemed to have failed.
People say that it was because there were people who turned against each other in the Nanyang Kingdom.
Because of a traitor, a country was overthrown.
Ye Kui wrote down a huge word "名".
That battle seemed to have some problems.
However, nearly twenty years have passed, and it is indeed a bit too long. Now I want to solve the problem from scratch, and the difficulties in it are immeasurable. Ye Kui even had the urge to find her grandmother Lin and ask.
Lin might have heard some clues from her grandfather back then, but Lin in Chang'an Lane did not welcome her, and she would not ask any results even if she went there.
Ye Kui threw the pen in her hand in annoyance and cursed: "Bastard!"
This feeling of powerlessness is like trying to make people die, like a thick cocoon that traps people in it, constantly tightening and tightening until the things inside suffocate.
Ye Kui felt that she was about to suffocate. She made up her mind and wanted to go to find Yong'an Hou to ask directly. But before she could walk out of the room, Qin Sang rushed over and said, "Madam, there is news in Cangcheng!"
"Where did you get the news?" Ye Kui grabbed her arm and asked anxiously.
Qin Sang's face was full of anxiousness, and there was no excitement after finally getting the news. Ye Kui vaguely noticed something was wrong, so he took the lead in asking the source of the news. The meanings obtained from the mouse and the group of people were completely different.
However, when Qin Sang was asked this, his face became more and more ugly, and he also had a faint crying voice in his voice, "Madam, Governor Cangcheng was killed!"
Ye Kui was shocked when she heard this, hurriedly pulled Qin Sang inside, closed the door and asked, "Amobi's people have already attacked Cangcheng?"
In a blink of an eye, she suddenly realized that Qin Sang did not tell her where the news came from, so she asked again urgently: "Did the news come from the palace?"
Qin Sang nodded in a hurry.
"Governor Cangcheng was killed by people sent by Da Yue!"
