Chapter 204 Elder Yang
"Yes, that's it!" Zhong Cheng patted his hands and looked extremely excited. If Zhong Cheng's expectation is good, the secret road in the mouth of Tamuli is likely to be the road to the heaven and the earth of the giant whale in the ancient sea. For Zhong Cheng, this is definitely an exciting thing. He has been here for more than a month. Although he has encountered many things, Zhong Cheng has always had only one purpose, that is, to find the Drian tribe. Just now, Zhong Cheng thought that this was a clue interruption and his previous efforts were abandoned. But in a blink of an eye, everything changed, and Zhong Cheng's eyes emitted a light of hope again.
Seeing that Zhong Cheng was so excited, Tamuli nodded and smiled, "Seeing you like this, I guess what you are looking for is this secret. Although I don't know where this channel will lead to, since my father told me, I think this channel will definitely take my people to a safe place. However, this channel looks gloomy, and it's better to be escorted by a talented person.
"So, did you let me go with you?" Zhong Cheng stared at Tamuri's eyes, as if to see through each other, and suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you very much! City lord!"
Tamuli was stunned and then shook his head and said, "This is right. You are not from our British people. There is really no reason to be affected by this war. Besides, you have to do what you have to do, don't you?"
Zhong Cheng took a deep breath, bowed solemnly to Tamuri again, and said sincerely, "Thank you!" And this time, Tamuli didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Now it seems that the owner of this city is actually not bad, maintaining the simple and kind folk customs of the Intes. However, when he first saw the other party, Zhong Cheng thought that he was an unthinkable person, but now it seems that Zhong Cheng is just thinking too much.
Zhong Cheng doesn't think that the city owner did all this to deceive him. The reason is simple. If the city owner really wants to use Zhong Cheng, it is impossible for the elderly and children to follow Zhong Cheng. If he really has other plans, Zhong Cheng can only sigh that he is cruel.
Because the elderly and children are anxious about the whole journey, Zhong Cheng's waiting time this time is much longer than before. Fortunately, the soldiers of the summons were not fools and mobilized others to help when they gathered everyone, so the old man and children finally came to the cemetery one after another.
After arriving at the cemetery, these people first glanced at Zhong Cheng next to the city owner with strange eyes, and then went forward to salute the city owner. The city owner was very kind, smiled at them one by one, and let them rest here for a while. Obviously, most of these summoned old people were puzzled, but they had great trust in their patriarchs, so they didn't ask much and waited obediently.
In this way, one after another came. Suddenly, a white-haired old man in a moon-white robe came in the door of the cemetery. The old man held a dragon crutch in his left hand and a delicate large box in his right hand. The box is made of agarwood and looks extremely gorgeous. The box is also surrounded by some characters that Zhong Cheng doesn't know, as well as some strange patterns.
It is not difficult to see from the old man's dress and momentum that he is by no different from those ordinary old people.
After seeing the old man, Tamuli quickly rushed forward and arched his hand and said, " Elder Yang! You are here!"
Elder Nayang nodded slightly to Tamuli without saluting. He asked urgently, "Lord, what's the matter with you to let the old man chase the moon bow with his soul?" If you don't put the soul chasing the moon bow back in its original position, this sacrifice ceremony will be a failure!" With that, Elder Yang pounded the crutch in his hand a few times to express his anxiety.
Tamuli was very clear about the seriousness of the situation, so he did not say any polite words, but said directly: " Judging from the intensity of the enemy's siege, before the soul chasing the moon bow completes the ceremony of worship, I'm afraid that the enemy's army has broken through the gate. So there is no point in continuing the ceremony now!"
Elder Yang snorted dissatisfiedly and said angrily, "How do you know it's meaningless if you don't try? If the gate of the city guarded by my army, maybe the ceremony of sacrificing the sky would have been completed before the Jiang army broke the city?
Tauli shook his head firmly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Impossible!" Then, he didn't wait for Elder Yang to refute and explained first: "The original commander of the enemy was the prime minister of Jiang, so we had enough time to worship. Because the old prime minister is an old man, he will not let the soldiers forcibly attack the city and cause a lot of casualties unless he has to. But now, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army has become the general of Jiang. I know very well that his military ability is quite strong, and his determination is often much stronger than others when fighting. So I dare to conclude that he will lead his army to break through the gate of my Tamu City by tomorrow at the latest! Moreover, it is said that the general of Jiang is a strong god who has reached the level of the god king. If we fight with him, we can't win!"
Elder Yang's throat is blocked, and I guess what's easy to say. However, the experienced Elder Yang immediately stabilized his position and asked, "According to the city owner, that is to say, we just sit and wait for the enemy to break the city and do nothing?"
Tamuli shook his head and said, "No! What should be done must be done! Look!" He raised his hand, pointed to the elderly and children around him, and said to Elder Yang, "Among these people, the old man is the hero of the past of our British, and the children are the hope of our British. We must not let them die on the battlefield like this, right?"
Elder Yang nodded. Although he didn't say a word, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
When Tamuli saw Elder Yang nodding, he turned to the exquisite wooden box in Tamuli's hand and said, "This soul chasing moon bow is the most precious treasure from my ancestors. Even after the enemy broke through the city, it can't be handed over to the enemy. Is that right?"
"That's natural." Elder Yang did not deny it, but nodded in agreement.
Bang!
Tamli slapped his palms and said, "This is over!" The old man and children, as well as the treasures left by the ancestors must be fine! As for us who are in our prime, we are bound to deal with the people of Jiang until we die! I believe that all the people guarding the city are the same as I do. Moreover, if you want to escape, we have to buy time!"
"Wait, why don't I understand what you're saying? Lord, what on earth do you want to say? Elder Yang looked at Tamuli doubtfully and asked.
"What, Elder Yang, don't you know that there is a secret way to escape here?" Tamuli waited for Elder Yang in surprise, "No! It's impossible that my father didn't tell you!"
Hearing this, Elder Yang couldn't help blushing and defending, "Maybe it's because your father was too busy some time ago, so he forgot!"
"Is that so?" Tamuli wondered for a while, and then nodded, "Uh-huh! That's what it should be! In a word, Elder Yang, there is a secret road that leads to a safe place. I hope you can leave Tamu City with your soul chasing the moon bow..."
"No!" Elder Yang didn't wait for the city owner to speak and immediately rejected, "I am the only elder in Tamu City now. How can I leave like this! Never do it!"
Seeing Elder Yang's reaction, Tamuli first smiled happily, then shook his head resolutely and said, "No! Elder Yang, you must go! First, only among us know all the steps of the sacrificial ceremony, so you are never allowed to die until you have a successor! Second, you are nearly 70 years old, an old hero belonging to our Anglo, so you should leave with everyone!"
"But..."
"I have made up my mind! I order you in the name of the city lord that you must go!"
Before Elder Yang raised an objection, Tamuli had taken the lead and said decisively. After all, the city owner is the owner of the city, and the majesty he exudes when he is serious is absolutely not comparable to ordinary people. Even high-level figures like Elder Yang had to compromise, nodded and stood aside under the serious look of Tamuli.
Then, more and more old people and children gathered in the cemetery, until the end, the soldier who was called to order rushed in, bowed to the city owner, and gasped, "Go back to the city lord! The old people and children in the city have gathered now!"
