In Xixia, Xingqing Prefecture, in the mansion of a certain noble, a young girl of about 28 quietly walked out from the back door, crossed the cross street, came to the gate of a courtyard, looked around, and gently knocked on the door.
After doing all this, she looked around vigilantly, with a serious expression on her face and her body trembling slightly. She must be afraid of something.
After a moment, a deep voice came from inside the door and asked, "Who?"
"Yes...it's me. I brought the things we promised!"
Soon the door opened, and a man stuck his head out. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he grabbed the woman and brought her into the house.
There were two other people in the room, who looked like old servants.
The man who pulled him in stretched out his hand and asked, "Where's the stuff?"
The woman fished out a letter from her bosom and tried to hand it over, but then quickly took it back, holding it in front of her, and asked nervously, "Where's the money you promised to give me?"
The man curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and an old man next to him immediately handed him a stack of banknotes issued by the central bank.
The woman took the banknotes and counted them, then handed the letter in her hand to the man in front of her with satisfaction.
The man opened the envelope impatiently, checked the letter inside, and nodded to the woman, "Don't go back. Find a place to hide quickly. I'm afraid something big will happen next."
The woman nodded, looked at the man in front of her, and asked tentatively: "Can I follow you? Can I go to Da Qi to live with you?"
The man shook his head decisively and said, "It will be very difficult for us to go back. If you follow us, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the capital of Da Qi alive."
Seeing that the woman was a little disappointed, the other party spoke again: "You have to hide well. When this is over, I will find a way to get you to Da Qi."
After hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in the woman's eyes.
She nodded hurriedly and assured: "Don't worry, I will hide it well."
"Well, hurry up and leave. Things might get uneasy soon."
After saying this, the man turned around and wanted to call his companions to leave together, but at the moment he turned his head, a cold light appeared on the wall.
Before the man could even scream, the woman standing in front of him had an arrow piercing her chest.
The arrow carried powerful kinetic energy and nailed the woman to the ground.
There was still a smile of hope on her face, and just when she felt the excitement finally coming to her, she left this world.
"No, let's go!"
The man shouted angrily and jumped into the house.
Several dark shadows crossed the courtyard wall, fell into the yard, and rushed towards the man.
At this time, the old servant beside the man suddenly rushed towards the black shadows, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
The man showed no intention of stopping to help. He entered the house, opened a cabinet, and went inside, disappearing directly into it.
The two old servants were very powerful and managed to hold off the black shadows for a cup of tea before being killed by the people who arrived later.
When these people rushed into the house, they could not find the young man at all.
A few days later, a shocking news appeared in the local newspaper of Xixia.
In order to expand his pasture, a certain nobleman directly ordered the killing of more than 30 herdsmen!
There were also black and white photos in the newspaper, showing the bodies of herdsmen being dug out, and the scene was simply horrifying.
Yes, now that photography technology has emerged, every newspaper company has a cameraman.
For a moment, the entire Western Xia was excited.
Originally, the nobles had occupied a lot of grassland in order to expand sheep breeding during this period. Now this group of people even want to seize the people's shelter, and use such horrific means. It's simply insane!
As a result, riots broke out in various places in Western Xia, and these riots soon developed into an uprising.
Some professionally trained soldiers were active in the movement, teaching the people how to fight. The Western Xia army was quickly beaten back.
However, when the Xixia nobles came to their senses, they organized a fierce counterattack and directly dispersed the main force of the resistance.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining rebels broke up on the spot and disappeared right under the noses of the regular army.
Now all kinds of assassination and sabotage activities are happening one after another, and the whole Western Xia is in chaos.
At the same time, some people in the Liao and Jin regions followed suit and began to resist the ruling class.
For a while, the ruling classes in both regions were in a state of panic.
Da Qi is also deeply concerned about this, because chaos in the two places will directly affect Da Qi's business.
The two places also promised to resolve the problem as soon as possible and ensure that bilateral trade would not be affected.
However, just as the Western Xia, Liao, and Jin were planning to suppress the uprising with tougher and bloodier means, a protest broke out in the Great Qi.
The organizers of the anti-epidemic movement raised the banner of human rights, organized people to surround the Honglu Temple, and demanded that the envoys of Western Xia and Liao and Jin come forward to explain why they brutally massacred the people of the two countries.
For a moment, the envoys from Western Xia, Liao and Jin were all stunned. They had never encountered such a thing before.
What a joke! The untouchables of our country are rebelling. How we deal with them is our own business. Why are you getting involved?
The ruling class in your country hasn't said anything, so why are you ordinary people joining in the fun?
Their arrogant attitude and irresponsible remarks naturally did not satisfy the people who came to fight the epidemic, so a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.
This matter was brought to the court of Da Qi, where opinions were divided. Some felt that this was the internal affairs of the two countries and that they should not interfere. Others believed that since several countries were now closely communicating, this matter had a direct impact on Da Qi's business and must be addressed.
"If the people who have been cooperating with Da Qi are so unscrupulous, then all the money Da Qi earns is dirty money. We cannot take this kind of money. It will burn our hands if we take it." Prime Minister Wei Yong made such an evaluation, and then the relevant inquiries were sent to Xixia, Liao and Jin.
After receiving the letter of inquiry, the Xixia, Liao and Jin sides were stunned. Everyone hurriedly organized people to conduct research and analysis, and then came to a conclusion.
"Da Qi seems to be saying that if we can't handle this matter properly, they plan to cancel part of their business cooperation with us?"
"So how do we handle this properly?"
"They say they want us to give our citizens the right to march and demonstrate, but not to organize them, and to guarantee freedom of speech..."
