This era was quite primitive and the coup model was also very crude.
It is enough for Xia Chujian to just crush him with brute force.
…
After the sailboat set sail, Xia Chujian gave the coordinates given to her by Qi Lu to a personal soldier who could drive the boat.
She casually asked, "Can you read a nautical chart?"
The man replied politely, "Yes, my Lord."
This person has a bright face and a woman's beauty.
Xia Chujian glanced at him, walked to the bow of the boat, and looked at the vast ocean.
At this moment, she heard someone talking behind her.
The voice was neither deliberately lowered nor raised, it was just the voice of an ordinary person speaking.
One person said, "Zong Shangzhu, when did you learn to read sea charts?"
Then the voice of the personal soldier who had been driving the boat came out: "I learned this from the High Priest."
"Quan Tongxin, don't you also see it?"
The man named Quan Tongxin said, "I can read it. My father specializes in landform surveying, so it's not surprising that he can read nautical charts."
"Your mother..."
Zong Shangzhu said, "Although my mother is not good at surveying the terrain, she is good at making various mechanisms. Many things in the Lord's palace were made by my mother."
Xia Chujian listened silently, then turned to look at the two people and asked casually, "Who gave you your surnames?"
She knew that the people here did not have surnames ten years ago, only names as marks.
Zong Shangzhu said: "Our surname was just given to us by the Lord."
Xia Chujian's expression froze slightly. "...Are you from the Guxin tribe? Who is the leader of that tribe to you?"
That man was the minister with the surname Zong whom Xia Chujian had just killed in the hall.
Zong Shangzhu said: "He is my uncle."
Xia Chujian became even more alert: "I killed your uncle, do you want to avenge your uncle?"
Zong Shangzhu opened his eyes wide, his black and white pupils looking like an innocent little deer.
He said in surprise: "Why should I avenge my second uncle? He displeased the king, so he deserves to die!"
Xia Chujian looked at him suspiciously: "Really? You actually disregarded your second uncle's life just to please me?"
Zong Shangzhu blushed, knelt on one leg, and said firmly: "...My father is my second uncle's eldest brother. My second uncle killed my father and took my mother away, so he became the leader of the Guxin tribe."
"The King killed my second uncle to avenge my father's murder! I, Zong Shangzhu, will always be loyal to the King!"
Xia Chujian looked at Quan Tongxin: "What about you? Who is that Quan minister just now to you?"
The man just now was quite sensible and didn't say anything, so Xia Chujian didn't touch him.
Quan Tongxin hurriedly said, "That's my father. Don't worry, my father's life was saved by you, my Lord."
"Everyone in our Juling tribe will always be loyal to the Lord!"
Xia Chujian was silent for a moment and thought, could these two be the ancestors of the Quan family and the Zong family?
