Xishan Miao Village is the gathering place for Hua Miao Shangshui Cave. The Miao Village is close to the mountain and the river, with rows of stilted buildings. They meander up according to the mountain. Looking from a distance, they look like scales covering the body of a giant dragon. extraordinary.
Qining and Eve gradually approached Xishan and saw it from a distance. They cheered secretly in their hearts and thought about the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world. They only saw the unique buildings of the Miao village. There must be many talented people hidden in them. They should not be underestimated. At this time, it was already It's dusk, and the mountains and rivers seem to have been washed after the rain. They are full of greenery and surrounded by giant dragons, which is magnificent and unique.
There are six villages of Hua Miao in Shui Cave on Xishan Mountain. Although the six villages all belong to Sheung Shui Cave, they live in six villages in Xishan respectively. The villages maintain contact with each other. If something happens, they can get together quickly. However, On weekdays, everyone is doing their own thing, and the journey to the two farthest villages to meet takes a whole day.
The Miao Village where the Damiao King is located is surrounded by Wuzhaigou and is located in the hinterland of Xishan.
Arriving at the ground of Xishan, Qining quickly felt that there were more Miao people, but it was rare to see a Han family.
Although the two of them were wearing Miao clothes, Eve's appearance was top-notch among the Miao people, and Qining's appearance was handsome. Such a pair of handsome men and beauties were still eye-catching when walking on the road.
On the way, Eve inquired about the location of the main village of Shangshui Cave. Before dark, she finally arrived at the foot of a mountain. She looked up and saw that the stilted building was looming in the forest.
Suddenly, a voice was heard shouting: "Who is it?" As he spoke, several Miao people emerged from the woods, all holding scimitars in their hands.
Eve made a Miao salute and said: "We want to meet the Miao King, please report."
"The Miao King has an order that no one can enter the stronghold easily." One person said solemnly: "No one in the stronghold can leave the stronghold easily, and outsiders are naturally not allowed to enter the stronghold."
Qi Ning frowned and said: "We are all Miao people, so we are outsiders and insiders."
"That's hard to say." In the dim sky, the other party only saw Qining wearing Miao clothes, but his appearance was not very clear, "There are many evil scum among the seventy-two holes of the Miao family, black and white. There is a difference, some Miao people are not only outsiders, they may also be enemies."
Qining was about to speak, but Eve had already raised her hand to stop. She went forward and took something and sent it over. Qining vaguely saw what seemed to be a necklace. What it looked like, she really couldn’t see clearly. She just heard De Yifu said: "Take this thing and report it to King Damiao. If King Damiao doesn't see you, we will leave immediately."
Several people on the other side looked at each other, and one of them said: "You guys wait here." He told his companions: "Keep an eye on them." They immediately went to the village to report.
The remaining few people stood guard with knives, staring at Qi Ning and Qi Ning, as if they regarded Qi Ning and Qi Ning as prisoners.
Eve walked up to Eve and said softly: "Sister Eve, they just said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the village, and people from their own village are not allowed to come out. What does this mean? Do all Miao villages have such rules?"
Eve shook her head and said, "This should be an order from King Damiao. I don't know why."
The main village in Shangshuidong has the largest number of people. The mountains are covered with Miao family hanging towers. It takes a while to go up the mountain to report, but it doesn't take a while to come down. After waiting for half an hour, there is still no one coming down, but the sky is getting darker.
Qining stretched his body, but he was thinking in his heart that the Shangshuidong Village is located in the hinterland of Xishan Mountain. The mountains are steep and the terrain is steep. It is not easy to get close to it. If he is not wearing Miao clothes, , and with an authentic Miao girl like Eve beside her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to come here at all.
At this time, he finally understood why Eve had asked him to change his clothes so early.
When crossing the river before, the old man of the Miao family kindly reminded him to be careful. Although he did not say it clearly, Qining had already realized that the Miao village on the Xishan side was obviously hostile to the Han family, but this kind of The hostility doesn't seem to have always existed, it seems to have only started at the end of last year.
He immediately thought that the governor of Xichuan had sent troops to besiege Heiyan Ridge at the end of last year. Could it be that because of this incident, the Miao people became hostile to the Han family
If this is true, it is obviously not good news. What the young emperor is most worried about is that the Black Rock Cave incident has caused hostility in the seventy-two caves of the Miao family. Now the Shangshui Cave where the Miao King came from has become hostile, and other villages have also become hostile. Just don't want to know.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind me: "You are not walking slowly."
Qi Ning suddenly turned around and saw a man coming from behind. He was tall and bulging with muscles. In the dim sky, he looked like a cheetah moving towards him. However, this man was covered with bandages and seemed to be injured. Qi Ning saw that The person's face looked surprised: "Is it you? Are you... Dandu Gu?"
The person who suddenly appeared turned out to be Dandu Gu.
Eve was also very surprised, but when she saw the Miao people coming forward, Judu saluted and said, "Dandu Gu, you are back."
Qining's eyes twitched, and Dandu Gu said: "I am Dandu Gu, and King Damiao is my father."
Qining and Eve were both shocked. Eve frowned, thoughtfully, as if thinking of something, and asked: "Are you... are you Dan Abao, the second son of King Damiao?"
"Ah Bao is just a nickname they call." Dandu Gu said with a smile: "My name is Dandu Gu, but many people only know Dan Abao, but not Dandu Gu."
Eve looked slightly embarrassed and said: "I have heard of Dan Abao's name a long time ago, but... they all said that you are a first-class warrior in Cangxi. Seeing you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation."
"It's not worthy of the name." Dandu Gu shook his head and said, "If you hadn't saved me today, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back. How can I be called a warrior?" Although he said this, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be thinking about it today. I was almost killed for thinking about it.
Qi Ning smiled and said: "A warrior does not necessarily mean one has to be highly skilled in martial arts. Dandu Gu, you stepped forward today, outnumbered and outnumbered, knowing the danger but not hesitating. Not everyone can possess this courage. And if Fighting alone, you may not be defeated by anyone in the group today."
Dandu Gu smiled and said, "You are giving me face by saying this." He looked at a Miao man and asked, "Have you reported it to the Miao King?"
The Miao man said: "I've already gone, but I haven't come down yet."
"No need to wait any longer." Dan Dugu said, "You two follow me into the village."
Eve immediately showed a hint of joy and said: "Thank you Dandu Gu."
"You don't need to thank me." Dan Dugu said: "Since you are here, other people like the Miao King may not see you, but they will always see you. But I don't know if you can convince the Miao King."
Eve was startled and asked: "Do you know who I am?"
"If I'm not wrong, you should be Bayeli's sister." Dandu said: "After the death of the old cave master of Black Rock Cave, the calm-tempered Bayeli took over the position of the master of Black Rock Cave. They have a son and a daughter. The son is Bayali and the daughter is Eve. They are eleven years apart." He smiled: "Eve from the Black Cave is Bayali's right-hand man and a hero among women. I think I must have guessed correctly, right?"
Qi Ning's face changed slightly at this time, and his heart trembled. He looked at Eve. He really didn't expect that the world was so small. The first Miao woman he met when he entered Xichuan was suddenly the owner of the Black Rock Cave. younger sister.
The main purpose of coming here this time was to investigate the Black Cave incident, but he unknowingly accompanied Eve in the Black Cave for several days.
Eve said: "Dandu Bone is indeed a Dandu Bone. It really has good eyesight."
"It's not that I have good eyesight." Dandu Gu sighed: "Shangshui Cave has already received news about the Black Rock Cave. You are anxious to cross the river to see the Damiao King. At this time, you are most anxious to see him. People who come to Damiao King can only be from Heiyan Cave, and your age is not difficult to guess here." After a pause, he said: "It's just that I didn't expect that Heiyan Ridge was surrounded by water, and you could still do it. Escaped the siege and came to Khe Sanh."
Eve's expression was extremely cold and she said: "Since Dandu Gu knows my origin, of course he also knows my purpose."
"You don't have to tell me." Dandu Gu shook his head and said, "You can tell the Damiao King when you meet him." He looked at Qining and said, "You are from the Han family. If you were not with Eve, We can’t come here. Most of the Miao family’s seventy-two caves have heard the news about the siege of Heiyan Ridge, and many people are very dissatisfied.”
Eve's eyebrows were slightly raised, and Dandu Gu seemed to know that she was going to speak, so he shook his head and said, "I said, you don't have to tell me. And you should understand the truth. Although the Damiao King is from the Huamiao Shangshui Cave, he He is the Miao King of the entire Miao Family’s 72-holes. Ordinary people can be dissatisfied and have their own emotions, but the decisions the Miao King has to make can only be based on the interests of the entire Miao Family’s 72-holes.”
Now that Qi Ning knew Eve's identity, he naturally knew Eve's purpose of coming to Xishan.
Heiyan Ridge was besieged, water was blocked, and the six villages in Heiyan Cave were facing annihilation. Eve was not afraid of the hardships and went through all kinds of hardships to come to Xishan to see the Dammiao King. There was only one reason, and that was to ask for help from the Dammiao King.
There are seventy-two caves in the Miao family, and only the Miao King has the qualifications to summon people from each cave.
At this time, he finally understood why Eve was poisoned by the old erhu monster that night, and why she didn't hesitate much and just kissed her skin to detoxify her body.
Eve is responsible for the life and death of thousands of people in the Six Villages of Heiyan Cave. Compared with the lives and deaths of thousands of compatriots, Eve will certainly not sacrifice her life to preserve her chastity. She is the hope sent by Heiyan Cave. Once she dies Halfway up the road, the hope of Black Rock Cave seemed to be dashed.
But there was something in Dandu Gu's words, and Eve naturally heard a hint of mystery and frowned.
At this moment, the Miao man who had gone up the mountain to report had hurried over. When he saw Dandu Gu, he saluted. Dandu Gu had already asked, "Does the Miao King have any instructions?"
"The Miao King said it was already getting late, so he asked the two guests to rest for the night and meet again tomorrow morning." The Miao man said respectfully.
Eve showed an anxious look and was about to speak when Qining had already held her arm and said softly: "Haste makes waste. Since King Miao has this arrangement, we just follow King Miao's orders."
Dandu Gu looked at Qining with a hint of admiration and asked: "Little brother, you saved my life, but I don't know your name yet."
Qining thought to himself that it had not been long since he inherited the title, and he was afraid that no one would know his name in the Miao village. However, he also thought that he was not sure what the Miao King was thinking now. What if he reported his name? It happened that someone knew that Qining was Jin Yihou, which would inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion. It was hard to judge what the Damiao King's attitude towards Jin Yihou was. He could only smile and said: "My name is Lin Qi!"
"Lin Qi?" Dandu Gu smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter whether your name is Lin Qi or not. I just want to remind you that you must not tell a lie in front of King Damiao, otherwise it will be bad for everyone." He ordered: "Take the two guests to stay first, and serve them well. Don't neglect them." Then he smiled at Eve and said: "You guys have a rest for the night. King Damiao will summon you tomorrow morning, and I will see you there."
After that, he didn't say another word and went straight up the mountain.
Eve turned her head and glared at Qining, and sneered: "Isn't your name Qi Wuming? Now you have become Lin Qi again? When you meet King Damiao, let me see what your name can be."
Qi Ning sighed and said: "I never thought that you would be the sister of the Black Rock Cave Master, and Dandugu is the son of the Damiao King. Now I finally understand what it means to have no coincidence in writing."
"What a coincidence?" Eve frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "It's nothing. Let's go to the stronghold to rest quickly. By the way, we can think about how to deal with the Miao King tomorrow."
