Rushing to Xiao Yiner's side, a group of people didn't know what to say and were trembling non-stop. The older Khitan noble simply knelt down and cried: "You are finally here! We are here day and night. We are just waiting for you to come We want you to come and save us"
With someone taking the lead, the sound of crying immediately filled the whole place. The cries of men, women, old and young were mixed together, making people cry.
Xiao Yin'er gritted her silver teeth, trembling her delicate body, but moved forward steadily, and said loudly: "Get upUncle, get upAunt Eighteen, get up tooEveryone, get up I, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, am sorry for everyone, but I am here now, and I want to take you to live a happy life and leave this painful life forever Stop crying Stop crying"
The cold and beautiful young woman is also a woman with a strong mind. She cried so hard last night, but now she is not crying at all. Although the tears can't stop flowing, she doesn't look like crying at all, but is giving her best effort. Comfort others.
Unknowingly, she had walked to the center of the crowd, accompanied by me and Cha Zhalie, and a group of leaders who were gradually following her, all of whom were leaders of this camp.
People's enthusiasm has not dissipated, and they are looking at her with almost expectant eyes, which makes the cold and beautiful young woman still feel heavy in her heart.
I was still smart and made gestures to my friends in the distance. They nodded one by one, took down the heavy cowhide bag from their horse, and took out the barbecue wrapped in leather, which smelled delicious. It immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially younger children and mothers.
"Come, come, this is what my young lady has prepared for you What, who is my young lady? Isn't that the one standing over there? Is she the queen? That was a thing in the past, Now she is married to my young master Come, come come and eat, everyone children, don't grab it"
"Our young master is very kind to the young lady. She is definitely not like that old witch in your Khitan court. She is a wolf-hearted thing! No. As soon as our young master heard that you were suffering, he and the young lady came here"
After a brief exchange, Xiao Yiner nodded to them, and a group of people on the periphery began to pick up the still warm barbecue to eat, first passing it to children, then to the elderly and women, and finally to A man in his prime.
Among the thousand horses, we specially packed about 50,000 kilograms of meat, which we had the people of the Barrow tribe roast all night long. Divided into the hands of these four to five thousand people, it is more than enough.
We ate hot meat. Even with a little warm "Drunk Immortal Brew", everyone's mood was completely calmed down. A group of leaders also gathered around us, listening to Xiao Yin'er's explanation of the purpose of his visit.
There are two leaders of the exile group. The first is an old man in his fifties named Yelu Changfeng. This man is Xiao Yiner's uncle, but he not only taught two first-class powerful officials, but he is also the little emperor. teacher, so even Xiao Yujin didn¡¯t dare to kill him. He could only be exiled, but he was also criticized by a prince stationed at the border, which shows Yelu Changfeng's high prestige.
The other one was called Xiao Congrong, who was a military general and had very good moral character and ability. Because his younger brother's concubine was a maid in Xiao Yiner's house, he suffered the disaster. Exiled here.
Under the care of the two of them, although thousands of people lived in depression, they did not collapse until Xiao Yin'er arrived. It can be said to be a great contribution.
Therefore, Xiao Yin'er always spoke about migration with an inquiring attitude.
After all, the journey to Ezo Island is far away, and you have to leave your hometown. You may never be able to return to the Liao Kingdom for the rest of your life. This cold and beautiful young woman can't help but worry.
Unexpectedly, after the two asked me in detail about Ezo Island¡¯s situation, population, composition, etc., they nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
"Although Daliao is our homeland, I still have to find a place for everyone to live peacefully. This Xiao Yun is going against the trend. If she knows that we are still alive, she will definitely do it worse. We can't let her give her a second thought. It¡¯s the second harm.¡± Yelu Changfeng explained.
"With your presence, Empress, the territory of Ezo Island is so large that there is still room for us. In addition, Young Master Yinxing's business is very large, so everyone's life will definitely become better in the future, and even Without the instability of intrigues, this kind of life is what those of us who have suffered disaster like." Xiao Congrong's explanation is this.
Of course, what they say does not completely count. The most important thing is the opinion of the majority of people.
But what¡¯s the problem with this?
Compared to the current situationBoredom and despair, not to mention that the Ezo Island we said is a hundred times better than here, just the barbecue they can eat and the thousands of ox carts coming one after another make them feel that Ezo Island is a hundred times better than here. The spirit of the island was so great that everyone unanimously agreed to continue following the empress to go to Ezo Island!
Although it has been roughly decided, in practice, there is still a lot to do.
The process of relocating a population, especially relocating a group of weak people to cross mountains and ridges or even across oceans, is by no means simple.
In fact, in the Barrow tribe alone, the Khitan people practiced cultivation for half a month, and then the warriors of the Barrow tribe carried the weak old people and children across the Zongduan Mountains on bamboo poles and chairs. Arrive at Sobu Grassland.
Then they spent ten days recuperating on the Sobu grassland, and then drifted slowly on the sea for another ten days. Finally, on June 17, they arrived at Liuyin Harbor and moved into the new home we prepared for them.
To this end, we have made a lot of efforts. We have sprinkled 200,000 jins of first-class refined salt, 80,000 jins of Yi tea, 50,000 jins of spices, and 10,000 jins of "Zuixian Brewing" and "Zuixian Brewing" on the Barrow tribe. "Hero's blood" Some of it was brought by us, and some of it was taken by their warriors on the Sob grassland after escorting them back.
" In comparison, the most that the Barrow tribe paid was some beef and mutton, and some energy. It can be said to be a super bumper harvest, which made Elder Jia Ba and Cheli smile from ear to ear.
In addition, this transaction also went very smoothly. As expected, according to what Zhebaizhan said, the people in the Zongduan Mountains had been waiting for half a year to finally get better goods than last year. That kind of explosive enthusiasm, It was simply astonishing - all the treasures and accessible things at home were all moved to our boat without a frown.
