I'm dead in all worlds

Chapter 48
At noon the next day, the sun was high overhead.

Today, all the princes and kings of the Eighteenth Route gathered on the gate tower of the city. Under the watchful eyes of the people and soldiers in the city, one after another cut their fingers with a knife and dripped their own blood into the vessel in front of them.

After all the princes were dripped with blood, they picked up the cups together, took a cup of blood wine and stood in front of the city gate, and swear loudly together: "For the people of Li, for the people of the world, we and the eighteen princes make an oath here today. .First, do not massacre the city in the future. Second, even if the walls are cleared, the livelihood of the people will not be destroyed. Third, the soldiers will not be killed. Fourth, if there are foreign invaders, let go of personal grievances and jointly resist the crusade against foreign tribes. , This oath will be obeyed by future generations, the world can learn from it, and all people will see it. If anyone violates today’s oath in the future, they will attack together, and everyone will be punished."

After finishing speaking, all the princes drank the blood wine in the cup in one gulp, then burned incense and bowed to the eastern sky together.

"Princes from all walks of life." Wang Han said to the eighteen princes after taking the bloodthirsty oath together: "Today's oath, I hope you will always remember it in your heart, and pass it on to future generations. The future. After taking the oath today, I will leave Sishuiguan and find good land to grow grain. From now on, the world’s affairs will be decided by the people of the world. Things that have nothing to do with the oath, and things that have nothing to do with the life and death of the nation, I will I will not interfere, and I hope you will do it yourself in the future. After a year, I will send someone to inform you of new grains and teach you how to plant them."

"Dingshan Hou Dayi." Hearing this, the princes nodded in satisfaction and said, they all understood what Wang Han meant.As long as there is no violation of the oath or major events related to the survival of the nation in the future, Wang Han will not intervene, nor will he participate in the grievances between them, that is to say, Wang Han will live in seclusion and hardly care about world affairs.For them, although they lost hope of winning over Wang Han, they lost a most powerful and terrifying enemy. Although this result was not the best for them, it was the fairest.

At the gate of Sishui Pass, after taking a bloodthirsty oath, Wang Han was about to leave Sishui Pass, and all the princes came out to see him off.

After leaving the city gate, Wang Han said to the princes who saw him off: "Everyone, please go back. I will leave today. I don't know when I will see you again. I hope you all take care of yourself."

"Take care, Marquis Dingshan." The princes said to Wang Han after hearing the words.

Cao Cao asked Wang Han, "Lord Wang, let's go and say goodbye. I don't know how to find Master Wang again."

Hearing this, Wang Han looked at Cao Cao and said, "I don't know where I will be in the future after we leave today. If there is a destiny, we will naturally meet again."

Cao Cao heard the words and said: "In the future, if there is something that needs me Cao Cao, Mr. Wang, please feel free to speak up. As long as I Cao Cao can do it, I will never say anything."

"Then I will thank you in advance." Wang Han said to Cao Cao, and then he said to the other princes: "All princes, leave."

After finishing speaking, Wang Han turned over and rode on the white rhinoceros, and left with Zhang Shan, Li Si, the old man and his granddaughter.

------------------

In March of the first year of Chuping (AD 190), five people came from an unknown mountain village. One was a young man about 20 years old, dressed luxuriously, and riding a white mighty strange beast. The burly martial arts practitioners were all wearing a good pair of battle armor, a plainly dressed old man and a [-]-year-old girl.

Wang Han looked at the small village with only a few dozen households in front of him and said: "This is a good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Although there is no prosperity in the world, it is a rare and quiet place."

After the five of Wang Han entered the village, the villagers saw Wang Han riding a mighty white-armored beast, and saw that Zhang Shan and Li Si were tall, burly and majestic, wearing armor and carrying weapons. I had to hide in the house, shut the doors and windows tightly, and dared not come out.He only dared to hide behind the doors and windows, quietly watching Wang Han and his party through the gaps.

Seeing the villagers hiding in the house, Wang Han told Zhang Shan: "Let's just settle down here, Zhang Shan, go and show that we have no malicious intentions, and then ask, what is the name of this village and is there any free time in the village?" If you have a house and land, you can buy it with a lot of money, good or bad, remember, don’t speak ill of each other.”

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this, Zhang Shan immediately responded, got off his horse and walked to the house of a nearby villager.He knocked on the door politely and said: "Hello, we are not yellow scarf soldiers or stragglers, and we have no malicious intentions here. My master wants to settle here, and would like to ask if there is any vacant house and land. We It can be bought for a lot of money.”

"This..." Hearing this, the villagers in the house hesitated, and said: "There are no more houses in the village, and there is no uncultivated land. You should find another place."

Hearing that Zhang Shan knew that the villagers were worried that he and others were not good people, he said, "Where do the talkers (talkers: people who make decisions) live in your village?"

"Our village, our village." Hearing the words, the villagers stammered and said, "There is no one in our village, so you should go."

Hearing this, Zhang Shan had no choice but to return to Wang Han and said, "My lord, the villagers here don't seem to welcome us very much. They only say that there are no extra houses in the village, and there is no uncultivated land, and there is nothing to say. people."

"The speaker has come." Wang Han said, dismounting the white rhinoceros.An old man was walking towards Wang Han and the others.

The old man came to Wang Han and respectfully saluted Wang Han and asked: "Several officials, I wonder why these officials came to the small village?"

"We are not officials, and we have no malicious intentions here, and we will not cause you any trouble." Wang Han said to the old man: "This place is beautiful, and we want to settle down here. I wonder if there are still people in the village?" Empty houses and uncultivated land, for better or for worse, I would pay dearly for them."

"This official, there are no vacant houses or farmland in the village, but there is a little labor left." The old man still didn't believe Wang Han, and said: "If the official wants to settle here, he has to do it himself. Build a house, open up wasteland and cultivate land by yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Han raised his head and glanced around the village, pointed to a forest not far from the edge of the village and said to the old man, "Can I build a house there?"

Hearing the words, the old man looked at it, thought for a while, and said, "Yes."

"That's good." Wang Han nodded, stopped talking, and walked over there leading the white rhinoceros.It's the same wherever you go in this troubled world. The villagers don't trust themselves now, and they don't mean to talk too much. When the time comes, they will naturally be able to get along.
