Chapter 176 Because I owe you
Dragon Flame Valley is a small closed society that is basically self-sufficient. Although it is extremely scarce in materials, it can still meet the most basic needs.
This is a group of people who can endure hardships extremely.
Even under such adverse conditions, they are still working hard to improve their living conditions.
The Yuan people's attitude towards them is that they just need to live, and they can only let them live above the minimum.
And this is just based on respect for Princess Changle.
Otherwise, why would the Yuan people tolerate a group of past enemies living in their territory but be unwilling to be loyal to them?
If one day, Princess Changle is no longer around, I am afraid there will be problems with the survival of these people.
Ordinary people in the valley may not know much about this, but the leadership in the valley may also be aware of this problem.
So after Gao Qunshu, people in the valley walked out one after another.
Including the Dragon Flame Army who fought for the Yuan people in the West Sea.
While walking along the way, the state of the entire Dragon Flame Valley gave Li Dachui the feeling that they were working hard to build an impregnable defensive fortress.
This is preparing for the worst.
Once one day Yuan Ren really falls out, then fighting will become the final choice.
Make yourself stronger and become a copper pea that cannot be chewed or smashed by the opponent, so that you can survive in the end.
Don't put your hopes entirely on others,
use your own efforts to fight for the qualification to live,
Li Dachui appreciates this attitude very much.
No matter what the final result is, being able to see these problems and work hard to solve them already speaks volumes about the abilities of these people in the valley.
The place where we are standing now should be the core of Dragon Flame Valley.
On a gentle slope, there are rows of houses on top of each other. The road has twists and turns, rising from the bottom of the valley to the mountainside. Above the head, there are cliffs. The most amazing thing is where Li Dachui is now. In this row of houses, what is overhead is not the blue sky and white clouds, but a protruding cliff.
This row house, even without a roof, will not be exposed to the sun.
All the buildings here are made of stone.
Dragon Flame Valley is extremely rich in stone resources, but there is very little wood.
The clay dug out from under the river bed and the ubiquitous stones became the raw materials for building houses.
The stone house is covered with felt made of thatch and mud, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is fireproof.
The houses are all built very high, but the windows are very small.
In Li Dachui's view, these are just small fortresses.
A group of people who are extremely insecure, even in their usual comfortable lives, take their defensive posture to the extreme.
"I'll take you home!" Li Dachui got straight to the point and didn't mince words at all.
Cui Hu glanced at Wangshan and others in the room, and said slowly: "We are in the Dragon Flame Valley, and the news is blocked. We are not clear about the situation in the outside world. Although Qun Shu came out of the valley, he has been thinking of ways to persuade him. We work for Tie Le, so we have never believed the news he brought. Moreover, we are also very surprised, how could Li Duhu enter the Yuan Kingdom with such arrogance? "
Li Dachui? He nodded and said: "I entered the Yuan Kingdom in the name of a disciple of Changchun Valley, and the reason why I got here is because I reached a deal with Tie Le. This deal is simple to say. Tie Le wants to seize the Yuan Kingdom. To obtain the state reserve position, I need to defeat Linghuye and control the entire area outside the Pass. But now both of us are in a weak position relative to our opponents, so the alliance has become a profitable one for both parties. Choice."
"The Beiting Protectorate has been split into two, Anton and Anxi Protectorate?" Cui Hu said with emotion.
“Linghuye has bad intentions and wants to follow the example of Li’s father Yong!” Li Dachui laughed and said: “In order to balance the forces outside the pass, the imperial court restricted Linghuye so that he could not advance into the pass. We took advantage of the situation and Let's start and take over half of the control outside the pass. Of course, this is not our end. What we want is to take over Ling Huye's place."
"Li Duhu, we are the rebels of the imperial court!" Cui Hu said meaningfully: "And it is not an ordinary rebellion. The imperial court has only one way to deal with people like us, and that is to kill them wherever they meet. There is no law, no trial, and no reason to explain. ! ”
Li Dachui spread his hands: "Cui Canjun, Mr. Li was a leader of horse bandits running rampant outside the customs half a year ago. I have no loyalty to the Qin court. To put it bluntly, after I replace Linghuye, I will also take a look inside the pass. If Chang'an is on the verge of collapse that day, I will naturally give it a try. "Then what is the difference between you and Ling Huye?" Wangshan couldn't help but ask.
"The difference is huge!" Li Dachui said: "Linghuye is looking at that position with purpose and wants to compete in the world, but as for me, I want to fix the situation outside the pass first. , On the basis of ensuring that the Yuan people cannot invade the outside of the pass, they will pay a little attention to the inside of the pass. If there is a chance, they will reach out, and if there is no chance, they will count the ball!"
"Are you the horse bandit Li Dachui? Huang Yi, a meritorious military officer, couldn't help but ask.
"Exactly, the one with a prominent reputation in the horse bandit world!" Li Dachui smiled and said: "The one who was able to discuss deals with Ling Huye earlier."
"If I didn't have such strength, I wouldn't have been able to become an important minister of the imperial court outside the customs in one leap!" Cui Hu said with emotion: "Killing people and setting fire to gold belts, building bridges and paving roads without corpses!"
"Cui Hu Joining the army, I am not that kind of person. If you interact with me more in the future, you will understand what kind of person I am!" Li Dachui defended: "I dare not say that I am a righteous man who robs the rich and helps the poor, but as a person and doing things, I never feel guilty!"
Cui Hugong handed over his hand and said, "Li Duhu is overly concerned. To be honest, I am still a little confused about Duhu's proposal. , because I really can’t figure out why Li Duhu is so concerned about taking us back! We are only less than 20,000 people. Although we have made some gains in what the Duhu wants to do, it is absolutely nothing. The meaning of the decision, and I can guess that if Tiele and the others agree to let us go, the Protector must pay a high price. No matter what it is, I feel that we are definitely not worth the price. I feel uneasy, Protector. To you, 20,000 people are just a number. To us, these are our dearest relatives and friends."
Li Dachui nodded, stood up and looked. He glanced at everyone in the room, then looked at Gao Qunshu on the side, and then said: "As far as the public is concerned, as the Deputy Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, I absolutely do not want any of my colleagues to be trapped in the enemy's country and have no family." And can't go back. And to be honest, the strength of Longyan Valley is very important to our Anxi Protectorate."
Taking a deep breath, Li Dachui continued: "Personally, this is me. I owe you!”
Except for Gao Qunshu, everyone in the room looked at Li Dachui in confusion.
"Li Duhu owes us? Where do we start talking about this?" Cui Hu said doubtfully: "Before receiving the news from Qun Shu, we knew very little about Li Duhu."
"My father, Li Anze, and my mother, He Qingqiu!" Li Dachui said every word.
With a bang, Wangshan broke the chair under his butt and fell to the ground. For a person of the seventh grade of Xuanyuan, this was a direct loss of control of the true energy in his body. .
But Zhao Kui, Zhu Zhong, and Huang Yi all jumped up and looked at Li Dachui with wide eyes. The only one who could calm down a little was Cui Hu. He looked at Li Dachui with trembling lips, slowly raised his hand, pointed at Li Dachui, and said: "Li Duhu, you can't make such a joke!"
Li Dachui looked at Cui Hu and the others and said slowly: "Due to the incident involving your parents, you had to flee your home. Countless relatives and friends were implicated. You were trapped in this open-air prison for decades. Li If you don't know, that's fine. Now that you know, no matter what the price, we have to ask everyone to go home."
"Although the Crown Princess was pregnant with Liujia, I heard that she did not give birth in the end. , but died together with the Crown Princess!" Cui Hu trembled.
"If I hadn't said this, how could I have survived to this day!" Li Dachui stretched out his hand, and a star flower appeared on the tip of his finger, then split into two, two became four, and four became eight. "If I were not their descendant, Princess Changle would not have arranged for me to come to see you and promise to let me take you away."
Phoenix Lihuo burned brightly.
There is no doubt in everyone’s mind.
Cui Hu raised his head to the sky, tears streaming down his face.
Wangshan strode out, standing on the round dam and roaring to the sky.
Zhao Kui, Huang Yi and Zhu Zhong covered their faces and burst into tears.
Twenty-five years!
When they fled, the youngest Huang Yi was also eighteen years old.
Compared to the younger generation in Dragon Flame Valley, they can be regarded as the direct victims of this incident.
Most of their parents died in this coup.
Now, the descendants of the prince they once loyal to suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Do we still have hope of revenge?" Cui Hu wiped away his tears and asked in a low voice.
There was no hope of revenge against him, and they were unwilling to succumb to Beiyuan and use the power of foreigners to take revenge. Because even if they succeed, deep down in their hearts, they won't be half happy.
But it's different now.
Li Anze and He Qingqiu have descendants!
“Of course there is hope!” Li Dachui affirmed: “At least, I can take away a knife like Linghuye first. As for the enemies behind the scenes, they have to take their time. Everyone, I can’t I promise you that one day I will go to Chang'an and defeat all the enemies. Kill them all. Because for me, making everyone live better and more comfortable, and making everyone's descendants better, is more important than revenge. Of course, if I have the chance, I will not hesitate at all. ”
