Chapter 185 Attack in groups
Jiang Lige paused, and for a moment he felt that he shouldn't be here.
However, Manzhu had obviously seen her. She raised her fist to her shoulder, as if performing a Chi tribe salute, and said loudly, "Young Master."
When people heard this, they were excited for a moment, and then they all performed the same salute as Manzhu and shouted "Young Master".
Jiang Lige was forced to do something he was not prepared for. He waved to everyone awkwardly, walked over with small steps, stood with Manzhu, and whispered to her ear when no one was paying attention.
"What's going on? How are you going to act this out without me explaining it to you?"
Manzhu still had that sour face and said indifferently, "We've all been living in a stagnant state for so many years. We've finally waited for the young master. What do you think we should do?"
Facing those pairs of eyes full of hope, Jiang Lige lowered her eyes uncomfortably, but since she had accepted Aiguo's favor, she should take responsibility for her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lige nodded at Manzhu, "I understand."
Hearing that Jiang Lige had no intention of going back on his word, Manzhu breathed a sigh of relief calmly and said loudly, "Then please let the young master have a few words with everyone."
Jiang Lige thought for a moment, then calmly took a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone. She opened her red lips slightly and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.
"Everyone has suffered for so many years. I have come here at Aiguo's request to help you return to your homeland and restore the Chi people's former glory! But before that, I also hope that everyone can promise me one thing."
As Jiang Lige finished speaking, the hope of those who had lost it was rekindled, and everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Young Master, what's the matter?"
"Let's put aside our hatred for now."
"what!"
Almost in an instant, the anger of the Chi people was ignited and they attacked Jiang Lige one after another.
"Let go of hatred? How can we easily let go of the hatred of genocide? Could it be that our young master is an enemy impersonating him?"
"My identity is certainly not fake. If you all want to verify it, I will cooperate." Facing the insults, Jiang Lige's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he loudly asked, "How many years have you not left this place? Do you know what the world outside this bamboo forest is like? How much of the world is divided, and who is in charge?"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and someone quietly retorted, "We were harmed by those people and are now hiding here. Even if we didn't know anything about it, it's not our fault!"
"Of course, this isn't your fault," Jiang Lige said soothingly, explaining, "The world is now divided into three parts. Sheng Ling is the strongest, while Nan Chu and Po Xiao are equally matched. The Po Xiao people are brave and warlike, so Sheng Ling and Nan Chu have formed a friendly alliance to jointly resist the Po Xiao enemy. Although Po Xiao is weak now, it is definitely not something we, a mere thousand or so people, can defeat. How can we not avenge the genocide? I just want everyone to let it go for now. What we need to do is live our lives well, bide our time, reproduce, and wait for the right time to strike."
"When is the time right?"
Jiang Lige smiled and replied readily, "The conflict between Po Xiao and the two countries is on the verge of breaking out. One day, the two countries will join forces to remove Po Xiao, this thorn in their side. By then, we will have the advantage of time, place, and people, and it won't be too late to take action."
I have to say that Jiang Lige's words are well-reasoned and cannot be refuted.
Although the crowd was still silent, Jiang Lige also saw the first step to his success in it. He then smiled warmly and spoke again while the iron was hot.
"Everyone, I know that many of you have been taught to remember hatred since the moment you were born. But you must remember that your life is your own. What you must not forget during your time in the human world is always the dark side of this world, right? Aiguo went to great lengths to protect everyone back then, so that the Chi people could thrive and continue for generations, rather than letting everyone be driven by hatred, living in fear in the darkness, and not knowing what happiness is. Besides, I have always believed that the most powerful way to strike back at an enemy is not to fight to the death, but to live a better life than them."
Jiang Lige's words echoed in the bamboo forest, deeply touching everyone present.
Manzhu also stood up at the right time and agreed: "That's right, Young Master, you are right. We can't let this pain continue."
Manzhu has a certain say here. After listening to her, everyone began to understand and accept Jiang Lige's point of view after thinking for a moment.
After a flurry of discussion, someone finally spoke in a low voice: "Okay, we'll listen to the young master!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lige smiled and did not say anything else. Instead, he walked down the platform amid the crowd's approval and retired with his mission accomplished.
Manzhu whispered a few words about the clan's affairs to everyone before slowly walking to Jiang Lige's side, with a hint of relief and approval in her eyes.
"How do you know I don't want to encourage everyone to take revenge?"
"You are a smart person, why would you do something like hitting a rock with an egg?"
"You're not bad either." Manzhu actually laughed when she heard that. "You're worthy of being called Young Master."
Jiang Lige did not take credit for it. He walked back with Manzhu while talking in a low voice, "Ayiguo actually saved so many lives back then. It's really not easy."
Talking about this, Manzhu returned to her usual aloof demeanor.
"On the day the Chi tribe was exterminated, Aiguo divided his people into two groups. The older group followed Aiguo and lured the enemy to the Chi tribe's mausoleum. Using traps and formations, they imprisoned them forever within the tomb. He himself remained in the tomb forever, so everyone knew that the entire Chi tribe had been annihilated. The remaining group, consisting entirely of the young children of the tribe, followed me here. With the bamboo forest as a barrier, they were trapped in this small world and lived for a long time."
"No wonder they are so radical. They have been forced to endure the suffering of their parents since childhood, so how could they not have hatred in their hearts?" Jiang Lige sighed, then smiled and put his arm around Manzhu's shoulder, saying softly, "Manzhu, they will remember everything you have done for the people of the Chi tribe over the years."
Manzhu's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, and she paused slightly, "There are no Chi tribes anymore."
"Who said that?" Jiang Lige smiled brightly. "What is a country? What is a home? It's not those cold buildings, but living people. As long as there is one person who remembers the Chi Clan, it will exist forever."
Manzhu didn't respond, but she felt very relieved.
The girl's existence is like the sun shining in the sky, shining with the light of hope.
At this moment, Manzhu seemed to finally understand why Aiguo chose such a foreigner to give "Feng Lin".
At this moment, the guard's surprised voice was heard from the bamboo house not far away.
"Priest Manzhu, the person on the bed is awake!"
