The two sisters looked at each other, and each saw her own blurry image in the other's tearful pupils.
From that day on, Hongque accompanied Mu Sang to sleep and eat, and the two were inseparable.
It was on the fourth day that their brother Wazhen arrived with lightning speed and arrested Dora and her two brothers who had spread rumors, and summoned the tribesmen to gather in Lingyin Square to execute them.
This was the first meeting of the new king since he ascended the throne.
Members of the tribe came from all directions, talking a lot, but they all tacitly lowered their voices.
King Wazhen stood on the high platform in the square, with a tall stature and sharp eyes, scanning the faces of his tribesmen.
Beside him were several officials and priests, holding scepters and with solemn expressions.
Behind him, the elite royal guards holding spears and shields stood straight and majestically.
As a low drum beat sounded, the crowd gradually quieted down and all eyes were focused on the platform.
King Wazhen stood with his hands behind his back, watching the sunset covering most of the sky. After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice deep and powerful, piercing the sky, "My fellow tribesmen, does anyone know how Lingyin Square came about?"
The tribesmen looked at each other, wondering why the new king asked such a question. More importantly, the origin of Lingyin Square has always been a taboo that the Vina tribe cannot mention.
Only the royal family and priests could read the records in the ancient books, so many tribesmen were unaware of it. They didn't even know that the "Lingyin" in Lingyin Square was actually a person's name.
But today, King Wazhen decided to reveal the truth.
One of the old priests walked out from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. The origin of Lingyin Square should not be publicized."
King Wazhen glanced at him coldly, "Are you the king, or am I the king? Why is our Vinaya tribe so scattered today? Why don't we have a sense of gratitude? Why do we develop the habit of gloating over other people's misfortunes? It's because the royal family dares not face up to history. Today, I want to break this taboo and let my people know that it is not easy to live a peaceful and stable life now."
Next, King Wazhen personally recounted this tragic history that the royal family dared not face.
That year, the Lion King tribe and the Vina tribe were fighting for control of the water source. This was the cause.
The Vina tribe did not win the fight, and now it is very difficult for them to get water.
During the struggle, the Lion King tribe found that the Vina tribe was very weak and easy to bully. From then on, they started to stir up trouble every now and then, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
Especially the women in the tribe, once they were captured, their fate was so tragic that it is impossible to describe in detail.
Later, the Lion King tribe became more aggressive and attacked again for other reasons. The Vina tribe was defeated step by step and was forced to the Changying Mountain.
The situation was extremely critical at that time and the Vina tribe was in danger of extinction.
The warriors rushed down the mountain to fight with them. After being captured alive, some of them were shot to death by the king of the Lion King Tribe as living targets; some were skinned alive, with wooden sticks piercing their bodies, roasted over fire, and eaten until only bones were left.
The flames shot up into the sky, and the smell of sizzling meat drifted in the air. At that time, their wives, children, and parents were all watching from the mountain, their hearts aching.
The tribesmen cried as they ran. The women and children who ran slowly were captured and subjected to humiliation and torture.
Because Prince Wazhen described the details too carefully, there was a commotion in the audience. Just thinking about the scene was terrifying, and everyone's face turned pale and they sighed.
King Wazhen's eyes remained unchanged, he just stared at the audience coldly and continued, "At the critical moment of life and death, a woman named Lingyin stepped forward..."
