Ji Hao walked into the political hall and stood there for a while. Everyone in the hall was making a lot of noise, and no one looked at him.
After looking around for a while, Ji Hao walked along the wall of the hall to the back corner and patted the shoulder of Si Bo Yao Meng, who was sitting under a large pillar and taking a nap against the pillar.
Yao Meng suddenly woke up and grabbed the wave-breaking ax lying next to him.
Seeing that it was Ji Hao, Yao Meng exhaled and lowered his voice to say hello: "Brother Ji Hao, it's you! I was shocked. I thought I was attacked by a water monster while camping in the wild. "
Yao Meng patted the ground beside him, and Ji Hao simply sat down next to him. Yao Meng gasped, grinned and moved his neck, twisting his joints so much that they crackled: "I just had a nightmare... A large group of crocodile demons rushed up in overwhelming numbers. I dreamed that my thighs were chewed off by them. Yes, I happened to be slapped by you."
Ji Hao looked at Yao Meng's tired face and said solemnly: "Your tribe?"
Yao Meng pointed to the outside of the main hall and said dryly: "The city of Surabaya has been destroyed, and my Surabaya territory can't stop the flood at all, so I took all the clan members to Puban to avoid the disaster."
Putting down the wave-breaking ax, Yao Meng rubbed his hands vigorously and looked at Ji Hao with a little embarrassment: "Hey, this, brother Ji Hao..."
Ji Hao frowned and touched Yao Meng's shoulder with his shoulder: "If you have anything to say, just say it. We are friends who have played with each other for a long time. What's the point of being embarrassed?"
Yao Meng laughed a few times, looked around, and lowered his voice again: "Well, brother, I'll just say it straight. Hey, well, the flood came too fast. Brother, I and my clan members just ran for their lives. We couldn't run away." I was in a hurry and couldn't bring out much rations. See if you can allocate some food and grass to me, brother?"
Yao Meng swallowed and looked at Ji Hao with a red face: "It doesn't matter to us adults, it doesn't matter if we don't eat for three to five days... Besides, we have thick skin and thick flesh, and we can survive even if we chew on tree trunks... But the children in the tribe can’t bear it, even if it’s rice soup, we have to get some to moisten their stomachs every day.”
Ji Hao looked at Yao Meng in shock: "Your clan is out of food? Isn't there no food distributed in Puban?"
Yao Meng spread his hands and looked at Ji Hao helplessly with a hint of desolation: "We have been without food for five days. Emperor Shun actually issued an order to open the granary to distribute food, but not much food was distributed every day, and... I, the Surabaya leader, only A small territory, hey, the food that fell into my hands..."
Ji Hao's face darkened: "Someone is deducting food? At this time? Does Emperor Shun know?"
Yao Meng shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice with drooped eyelids: "It's not a deduction, in fact, Emperor Shun didn't have much food in his hands. The floods were too fierce and too severe. He dragged his family to Pusang Who can have food in his hands when he is fleeing from disaster?”
Tilting his head, Yao Meng curled his lips at the group of richly dressed and stern old men standing at the front, put his mouth close to Ji Hao's ears, and said cautiously: "Those wealthy people have food in their hands, such as Tokazu There are tens of thousands of large granaries in the country's Tokabo, and the underground has been hollowed out, and mountains of grain, grass and meat have been hoarded. But... I emptied my money bag and couldn't buy a grain of rice from them! "
Ji Hao glanced at those people and said in a low voice: "Well, I have a palace in Puban, which is a large garden. The last time we established the Ten Thousand Dragons Sealing Water Formation, we joined forces to conquer it. Those uncles of the water demon, if they also bring their clansmen to Pusaka, you can invite them to live in my palace together."
Ji Hao patted Yao Meng's knee hard and said in a deep voice: "It just so happens that I don't have enough troops on my territory. Yesterday, two small tribes made trouble to grab food. My brothers went over and just happened to help me suppress the formation. I am also here Don’t worry.”
Yao Meng exhaled heavily, grabbed Ji Hao's shoulders and shook him, with a faint glimmer of water in his eyes: "Brother Ji Hao, stop talking nonsense, you saved our lives. …”
Yao Meng smacked his lips and said dryly: "It's not that I'm having a hard time. The few uncles who worked with us that time didn't have a large territory. They were also severely harmed by the water monster. They couldn't stop the flood. I took my clan members and fled to Pusaka... I will go and greet them right away!"
Ji Hao nodded, took out a few bronze tokens of the Yaoshan territory from his sleeves and handed them to Yao Meng.
With these tokens, as long as Yao Meng and several other Bohou tribesmen arrive at Ji Hao's palace, there will naturally be stewards from the Yaoshan leader responsible for settling them.
Yao Meng took the token and went there happily, while Ji Hao frowned and took out a jade talisman. After using his spiritual consciousness to carve a message inside, he crushed the jade talisman into pieces. He ordered Yaoshan City to allocate more food. With so many people from Yao Meng and other uncles, the food in his palace would obviously not last for a few days.
Deep in the hall, Emperor Shun's voice rumbled: "The matter of water control is related to the life and death of the human race..."
Emperor Shun's words were interrupted rudely. A tall, thin, white-haired old man with a sharp aura exuding from his body, who was hard to look at like a sharp sword, walked out of the crowd. He shouted sternly: "It's about water control. , it is related to the life and death of the human race, so we cannot let Si Wen Ming, a mere junior, interfere! Si Xi just made a big mistake, and Si Wen Ming will inevitably make the same mistake again!"
The old man's voice was high and hard, like two pieces of pig iron colliding hard, and a very sharp aura filled the hall, making everyone feel tight in their chests and feel as if needles were pricking their whole bodies.
Ji Hao looked at the old man in shock. This old guy's aura was actually more powerful than that of Si Xi, who had proved the sorcerer god that day. Moreover, his aura was stable, mature and sophisticated, which was not comparable to that of Si Xi, who had just made a breakthrough that day. .
"The matter of water control should be considered in the long term, and good people from the human race should be selected to take charge of this matter." Another tall and strong old man with a strong breath, like a ball of fire, walked out of the crowd. He looked directly at Emperor Shun without fear and said Rumblingly said: "This matter is related to the life and death of our human race, so, Emperor Shun, this matter cannot be decided by you alone!"
The hall was quiet, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
There were actually people who confronted Emperor Shun directly and did not respect Emperor Shun's authority at all. Many high-level human beings in the hall were waiting quietly with different thoughts, waiting for Emperor Shun's decision, or in other words, waiting for something they expected. Or again in their unexpected results.
Di Shun looked at the two men with a gloomy expression.
"Gongsun Jian, Sui Renyan... what is your so-called human race's virtuous standard?"
Emperor Shun stood up slowly and looked at the two of them coldly: "We haven't seen each other for many years, but you two suddenly showed up today. What do you want?"
Behind Emperor Shun, a dozen terrifying auras suddenly rose into the sky, like a dozen strange dragons, instantly shattering the huge auras of Gongsun Sword and Suirenyan.
Twelve hazy and erratic figures, wearing high crowns and robes, surrounded by a faint smoke, and whose faces could not be seen appeared out of thin air from behind Emperor Shun. They just stood there quietly, and the aura released by their combined efforts made Gongsun Jian and Suiren Yan retreat continuously.
