Chapter 549: 262: Envoy from the Wuman – Part 3



However, it was the identity of the visit at this time that made Lu Yuan take it more seriously. After pondering for a moment, he asked, “What you said makes some sense. Well, let’s leave the past behind.

You previously submitted a letter claiming to be a messenger of Wuman Country.

If I remember correctly, Wuman Country is one of the Southwest Yi countries, and it is now at war with Da Changhe Country.

So, you and your brothers, there has been no news for years, have you escaped to the southwestern Yi lands?”

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Lu Yuan led the surprise attack on Xichuan and then marched all the way to fight until reaching the outskirts of Yuzhong Fu City, where he fought Li Xiong.

However, after several big battles, Li Xiong abandoned his troops and fled, leaving tens of thousands of troops behind, and his whereabouts were unknown. Li Shou also fled at that time.

At that time, Lu Yuan only thought that he had escaped somewhere with Li Xiong and hidden his identity.

Now it seems that he didn’t escape far, as Wuman Country is just south of Xichuan County.

But he was right about hiding in a remote corner.

With the isolation of the southwestern countries, Li Xiong didn’t need to worry about being pursued once he fled there.

But Li Xiong, a former emperor of Xi Shu and once a hegemon of a prefecture, was not a person who would be content with his fate.

Moreover, an Inborn Grandmaster would not be content either.

‘Could it be that the person who became an Inborn Grandmaster in Wuman Country’s rebellion is Li Xiong? Is Li Xiong the mastermind behind this Wuman Country rebellion?’

Lu Yuan’s heart stirred with shock and awe.

Everything matched up perfectly.

Li Xiong fled and ended up in Wuman Country.

Then, using some unknown means, he incited the country to rebel against Da Changhe Country, ultimately causing this rebellion that has lasted for several years.

Now that the other party has come to him, what are they planning to do?

Could it be that they discovered his small moves on the border and suspected that Chu State was planning to invade Da Changhe Country, so they immediately sent a messenger to inquire?

A multitude of thoughts emerged in Lu Yuan’s mind for a moment.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Li Shou sat up from below and said, “Answering Your Majesty, my brothers and I indeed went to the southwestern Yi, becoming guest ministers of Wuman Country.”

“Became a Guest Minister?”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but sneer when he heard this identity, “Li Xiong, after all, was once an emperor and a grandmaster. How is it that now, having fled to the barbaric southwestern lands, he has become low-spirited and is willing to become someone else’s subject?”

Li Shou’s face turned somewhat awkward when he heard the ridicule, but he still said, “In a foreign land, as a group of displaced people, finding a place to settle down is already fortunate enough, so how could we dare to be greedy for more?”

“Is that so——” Lu Yuan drew out his voice, then sneered, “But how come I heard that Wuman Country started a rebellion against its original ruler, Da Changhe Country, from four years ago?

If I’m not mistaken, in that period, Li Xiong escaped from Xichuan and entered the southwestern Yi lands, right?

How coincidental that the moment you brothers entered Wuman Country, this originally submissive little Yi country began a rebellion?”

Li Shou’s face became even more awkward.

Indeed, how did they just arrive in Wuman Country and the rebellion suddenly happen there?

Of course, it’s because they intentionally stirred up trouble in Wuman Country, right?

But can he say that?

It’s really not something that can be easily said, nor should it be.

So, Li Shou could only change the subject and say, “Since Your Majesty said that, it seems that you are already aware that Wuman Country is now at war with Da Changhe Country.

This ongoing war has been going on for three years, and both countries are exhausted.

Originally, it didn’t seem impossible to endure.

After all, our country is exhausted, and so is Da Changhe Country.

But just last month, the Great Witch Sacrifice, which had always maintained a neutral stance in Da Changhe Country, suddenly announced its support for Da Changhe Country and personally participated in the war…”

Li Shou began to narrate slowly.

As it turns out, in the three major southwestern Yi countries, two systems of secular and sacrificial have always been in place.

The secular, needless to say, refers to the royal families of the three major Yi countries. They are in charge of the secular imperial power and rule the people of the country.

But outside of the secular world, there’s also the sacrificial system represented by the Great Witch Sacrifice.

In the southwest Yi region, the people there are divided into different ethnic groups.

And following different ethnic groups, according to blood lineage, cultural customs, and other differences, they can be roughly divided into three branches.

One is the Chilih tribe represented by Da Changhe Country, one is the Pan You tribe represented by Dali Country, and one is the Wu Yu tribe represented by Nanzhao Country.

These three tribal veins, each worship and believe in the three great gods represented by their own tribal names, and regard them as their bloodline origin. And those who are specifically responsible for the worship of these great gods are the sacrificial system represented by the Great Witch Sacrifice.

Thus, in the three countries, there are three separate sacrificial systems.

These Great Witch Sacrifices, who are responsible for sacrifices, are not only the faith leaders of the three tribes, but the divine palace also has Inborn inheritance so that they are not lacking in martial power.

It is with these that the sacrificial and royal systems form the two systems of secular and belief among the three tribes.

But according to the original convention, secular affairs are separate from the affairs of faith.

Without a great crisis involving the faith and the survival of the ethnic bloodline, the Great Witch Sacrifice of the divine palace would not interfere with secular matters, but would stay in the divine palace to serve the gods.

It’s precisely because of this.

When the rebellion happened in Wuman Country, the Great Witch Sacrifice of the divine palace did not intervene.

After all, in their eyes, the changes in secular power are just normal occurrences.

As long as those who ultimately rule this land and the people of Yi here are still the descendants of the Great Chilih God, that’s all that matters.

Whether this kingdom is called Da Changhe Country or Wuman Country, there is no difference in the eyes of the Great Witch Sacrifice.

And if Chilih’s descendants are ruled by a stronger person who can lead them towards greater prosperity, then, on the contrary, it’s a good thing.

Then let them fight for it.

Let Wuman Country and Da Changhe Country decide the victor and let the winner become the king of all Chilih people.

Well, this is the original attitude of the Great Witch Sacrifice.

It’s fair, reasonable, and flawless.

But since Li Shou is here, it must mean that something went wrong somewhere in this logical system, causing the Great Witch Sacrifice of the divine palace to step down from their lofty faith and begin to intervene in secular affairs.
