Chapter 103 The Immortal Firebird Disrupted the Jiuli Clan

to leave

In the impression of host Lin Feng, according to historical records, Yao Li was a man of the Spring and Autumn Period, a subordinate of King Helu of Wu.

He was born thin and small, only about five feet long, with a tight waist, and he was ugly in description, and he had the courage of thousands of people.

Who would have thought.

In the era when the Second Emperor ruled the tribe, Yaoli was a woman.

She is also the wife of the military god Chiyou.

As the voice shouted, a tall woman walked out of the building, more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing linen clothes, straw sandals, some jade ornaments on her body, and dark skin. She looked like an ancient tribal woman.

"Leave, look who's coming!" Chi You said.

"Son of Shennong..."

The woman rushed to worship, and as soon as the voice came out, other women and children who were working also shouted and cheered.

Lin Feng said with emotion, "Emperor Yan, you haven't been in a high position for a long time, but the title of co-lord of the world is well-known, and people from all tribes still respect you."

Emperor Yan smiled wryly, "Young man, do you really think it's my name?"

"Isn't it?"

Emperor Yan said, "In the tribe, no idlers are supported. Do you think that a person from another tribe can be treated so favorably?"

Lin Feng looked around and said in confusion, "But big guy, they are all respecting you and worshiping you, and they still regard you as the emperor of the tribe!"

Emperor Yan smiled and said:

"For many years, I have been running around looking for medicinal herbs that can cure diseases and save lives. Whenever I pass by tribes, I will enter them to treat some patients with diseases or impart the latest knowledge of medicinal herbs."

"The masters of the world are not obtained by force, but I have brought them hope."

"For example, the Jiuli people, before Chi You became the chief, I brought them high-yield grain seeds, smelting technology, jade crafts, etc."

"Chi You is not afraid of the sky or the earth. Why does he respect me? It's because I have shown great kindness to his people."

……

Hearing this, Lin Feng asked even more curiously, "Senior Chi You, if Emperor Yan returns to the throne, will this world be peaceful?"

Unspoken.

Shennong Yandi returned to the position of the co-lord of the world and ruled all the tribes, and the battle of Zhuolu will not begin.

"will not!"

"Jiuli and Xuanyuan must have a battle."

"In the battle of Zhuolu, whoever becomes the king will win better and more fertile land."

"When it comes to land resources that are life and death, the emperor orders, but no one obeys."

Chi You's words were very serious, Emperor Yan was not angry, he obviously acquiesced to this statement, people can't live, who will listen to your orders?
Even if you are the king of heaven, I will treat you as a fart.

"Back then I used my merits and virtues to serve thousands of people, but now Xuanyuan and Chiyou want to seize the position of emperor by force."

Emperor Yan shook his head with regret.

"If I remember correctly, the Shennong clan, when you were first elected as the chief, had few people and weak power, and occupied only a mere handful of land."

"Later, you launched more than [-] tribal battles and swept away hundreds of small tribes around you, so your power has only grown stronger again and again!"

"In order to make other ethnic groups surrender and become your loyal subordinates, you still threaten with healing herbs. If you don't obey, there will be no good medicine."

"There are also smelting, building, firing and other technologies that you spread. Every time, you can get back huge benefits."

Chi You's voice was very low, but Emperor Yan's face still twitched, and his face turned black.

"Chi You, don't talk nonsense."

Emperor Yan couldn't bear to be dismantled by them.

Lin Feng was holding back a smile.

It seems that no one is perfect in this world, even sages have their own selfish side.

"Many years ago, you brought a new technique of fire control, using flint to collide with each other to produce sparks to ignite."

"At that time, I sent a lot of ironware to the Shennong tribe for free."

"As well as the hot tea crafts that you presented later, I, Chi You, also presented a lot of beef and mutton food."

"Emperor Yan, I Chi You said something, you won't blame it?"

Chi You complained quite a bit, that every "benefit" that the Jiuli people get is not obtained out of thin air, but a corresponding price must be paid.

There is no free lunch in the world, even in ancient times.

Emperor Yan was not happy, and said:
"Chi You, most of the ferocious beasts controlled by the warriors of your tribe were discovered by me, Shennong, and I told you the location of the ferocious beasts. I have never received any benefit from these jungle information, have I?"

Chi You retorted again, "Where is the beast? In the end, it's not a warrior of my Jiuli tribe who fights with his life?"

Emperor Yan confronted each other, "Where's the blue-faced dragon with fangs? If I hadn't told you how to subdue it, you would have succeeded?"

The muscles on Chi You's face twitched, and he said extremely speechlessly:
"It was your "smart" method that killed more than twenty of my bravest clansmen. In the end, if I hadn't insisted on my own way and rushed down alone, how many people would have died!"

Emperor Yan, "..."

Lin Feng, "..."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

In the end, Emperor Yan flicked his sleeves and said with a straight face, "If you want to leave, is there anyone in the clan suffering from illness?"

Yao Li hurriedly said, "Son of Shennong, please!"

Looking at Emperor Yan who left in despair, Chi You was still complaining, "This former emperor of the tribe is so unreliable. One year he said that a certain medicinal herb can double the strength of a person after taking it. As a result, It made some of my warriors go crazy, and at night, when ghosts screamed, they would hit their heads against rocks..."

"Doctors" in ancient times, how reliable do you want?
Emperor Yan went to see a doctor.

Chi You took Lin Feng around the residence of the Jiuli people to learn about the ancient people's livelihood here.

Finally arrived at the "Iron Smelting Area"!
Don't look at the "steel" equipment on Chi You's body, it's very bluffing and mighty, and the smelting area of ​​the Jiuli tribe is extremely simple.

Not even a small workshop!
Working in the open air.

Those ores were brought back piece by piece from nowhere, and there was no mold. The boiling molten iron was poured directly into the soil, and the earth was used to cool it down. It looked like a child playing house.

"Young man, how did your later generations forge iron?" Chi You asked.

"Steel Plant."

"What factory?"

"A complete iron and steel plant includes mining, mineral processing, sintering, pelletizing, coking, raw materials, blast furnace, pretreatment, converter, refining, continuous casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, oxygen production, power, power distribution, transportation, water Processing and other processes, there are more than 1 types of equipment, and there can be nearly [-] equipment models alone."

"Forget it, it's too complicated and difficult to understand, and I'm confused, but this era is very different from your later life."

"Senior, the principle is the same, it's just that the scale is different."

"No, the ancient mines you mentioned, every area is guarded by strong people."

……

Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly became interested and asked, "Is there a powerful beast guarding the mine?"

The voice just fell.

Outside the clan area, there was a commotion suddenly, followed by a group of people shouting hysterically.

"The Immortal Firebird..."

"Everyone exit the building..."

"Take refuge by the water..."

Dozens of warriors ran barefoot and yelled frantically. In an instant, the members of the Jiuli tribe fled quickly, all running towards the water.

Looking into the distance.

A mass of burning flames came across the sky, burning and burning, and countless flames fell and floated down.

That half of the sky was like a rain of fire.

Where the fire passed, the dry grass was scorching. Fortunately, the plain had just rained recently, so the fire could not be completely burned.

Only the buildings where the Jiuli people lived suffered.

The old mud-brick houses, still covered with thatch roofs, are barely under construction.

Chi You stood there, motionless, as if he expected that the burning creature would kill nearby.

"Young people, these are the fierce beasts that guard the mines. They use the mines as their home, build their nests, and nurture their offspring."

"This undead firebird is the king of beasts, invincible in the world."

"Even if it's me, Chi You, it's hard to suppress."

Chi You's expression was incomparably dignified, even when facing Xuanyuan Huangdi, he had never been so entangled.

Lin Feng kept staring into the distance, trying to see clearly what that entanglement was.
