Dan Du Gu said in a deep voice: "Langcha Du Lu, our Miao family and Han family have always lived in harmony for so many years. Do you know what the consequences will be if we call together soldiers and horses from all caves?"
Langchatulu asked, "Do you know what the consequences will be if we remain indifferent and turn a blind eye to the situation in Black Rock Cave?" He took a step forward and said, "Our mission in Shangshui Cave is When the Miao family was in danger, they stood up. Now we all know that Heiyan Cave was wronged, but we just sat back and did nothing. Isn’t it depressing for the Miao family’s Seventy-Two Dongs?"
"Yes, King Damiao, Heiyandong Eve has told us the truth of the matter. This is obviously a trap set by the government for Heiyandong. They are so insidious, do we have to wait until Heiyandong is killed before we respond?" A Miao man said indignantly: "We immediately sent people to summon soldiers and horses from all caves to rescue Heiyan Cave."
"King of Miao, Langchatulu is right. If we don't respond, Wei Shutong will definitely think that our Miao family is easy to bully." Another person followed closely: "Only when soldiers and horses appear, Wei Shutong will listen. Let's talk, and when the time comes we let Bayali bring out Bai Tangling, so that Wei Shutong will have no excuse."
Another person said loudly: "Wei Shutong set up a frame-up. We can also take Bai Tangling to the capital to see the emperor and let the emperor make the decision for us."
Someone on the side sneered: "Wei Shutong is the emperor's minister. How could Wei Shutong dare to do this without the emperor's permission? Are we not throwing ourselves into a trap by bringing Bai Tangling to the capital?"
Everyone started talking, but Qining looked at King Miao and remained silent.
At this time, he could see that Langchatulu and Dandugu had obviously different opinions. Although Langchatulu was shorter than Dandugu, he had a more fiery and impulsive temper. He wanted to summon soldiers from various caves of the Miao family. Ma, holding troops and horses to negotiate with Wei Shutong, but Dandu Gu was obviously much more cautious and did not agree to send troops easily.
Most of the dozen or so Miao people present seemed to agree with Langchatulu's opinion.
However, Qi Ning knew very well that the opinions of these people did not count, and the only one who had to make the final decision was the King of Miao.
Of course Qining knew what would happen if Shangshui Cave summoned all the caves of the Miao family.
Who framed Heiyan Cave is not the most important thing at the moment. What is important is that if everything Eve said is true, then of course there is a sinister trap set behind it.
The real culprit behind the scenes obviously hopes that the Miao people will be in chaos. The Miao King ordered to send troops, which is probably what the other party expected.
What Langchatulu said is not wrong. It is impossible for a mere black cave to form a deep hatred with anyone. The officers and soldiers of Xichuan are at the foot of the mountain, and the black cave is facing disaster. Who would want to see a mere black cave suffer? Disaster? Behind this, I'm afraid they really want to use the Black Rock Cave as bait to lure the Miao Family's 72nd Cave into taking action.
If the real culprit behind the scenes is Wei Shutong, Qining feels that the possibility is really unlikely.
Wei Shutong is the governor of Xichuan. If he governs Xichuan well, he will naturally gain the attention of the court. Needless to say, he will be promoted to a higher position in the future. However, once the Miao family in Xichuan rebels, it will not be of any benefit to Wei Shutong, and may even result in it. And being dismissed from office may also put your life in danger.
When you reach Wei Shutong's position, your words and deeds will certainly not be done casually. You will definitely think deeply about it, and you will definitely weigh the benefits and losses in every decision.
In Qining's view, provoking chaos in the Miao family did not seem to be of any benefit to Wei Shutong.
It's just that Wei Shutong's current reaction is very abnormal and intriguing. If this matter has nothing to do with him, judging from his current actions, it doesn't seem like it.
As the Marquis of Da Chu, Qi Ning still knew to some extent the core affairs of the court.
What the young emperor is most worried about is the unrest in Xichuan. He only hopes that Xichuan can be peaceful and stable. This is also the national interest of Dachu. It is impossible for the ministers in the court not to know this truth.
Therefore, it was impossible for the imperial court to allow Wei Shutong to take action against Miao Dong.
But Qining knew that if the Miao family really caused trouble in Xichuan, the court would certainly not sit idly by and do nothing, and would definitely make every effort to quell the chaos. This was certainly not a good thing for the Miao family's Seventy-Two Holes.
He looked at King Damiao, just wanting to see how King Damiao would make a decision.
If King Damiao is really preparing to send troops, he must step forward to prevent this from happening, even if he reveals his identity, it doesn't matter.
Langchatulu is impulsive, but in many things, impulsiveness alone cannot solve the problem. On the contrary, it will be counterproductive and make things irreversible.
During this trip to Xishan, Qining unexpectedly figured out the truth about the Black Rock Cave. Now that he knows the truth of the matter, how to deal with it next is not too difficult.
Seeing that the Damiao King did not speak, everyone's voices became quiet, and everyone obviously knew that it was the Damiao King who had to make the final decision.
When everyone calmed down, King Damiao slowly said: "When I was young, I was walking on the road and saw a woman running down the road with a package in her hand, followed by three or four men with sticks in their hands. Mu was chasing her, so I stepped forward and stopped the men, hoping to help the woman stop the robber."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, wondering why the Damiao King suddenly became interested in telling this story of bravery for justice.
"Because of my obstruction, that woman ran away very quickly." King Damiao said with an old tone and deep eyes, "I thought I saved a woman, but when those people explained it clearly, I realized that that woman had stolen They've got their packages and they're chasing the thieves."
Everyone was startled.
At first everyone thought it was a few robbers chasing the woman, but they didn't expect the woman to be a thief.
"Langchatulu, do you understand what I mean?" King Miao looked at Langchatulu, "Don't be too anxious about anything. It's easy to do something wrong if you are impetuous. Whether Governor Wei is involved in this matter, you Without evidence, you cannot make easy guesses, as this will make you make wrong judgments and then make irreparable mistakes."
Eve said: "King Damiao, the officers and soldiers will attack Heiyan Ridge at any time. If King Damiao doesn't...!"
"Son, Governor Wei must have his own ideas, otherwise he would not have waited until now to attack the stronghold." King Damiao said: "I know you are worried, but if it is not a necessity, it is a matter of life and death for the Miao Family's 72nd Cave. Meeting each other is never the wisest choice."
"King Damiao, what should I do?" Eve's eyes were slightly red, "No one can save Black Rock Cave except you."
"I'm old and it's difficult to walk down Xishan." The Miao King looked very calm and said with a smile: "But I will let Dandu Gu take the Miao King's order to see Wei Governor again and tell him face to face that Bai Tangling is not here. If you are not dead, then Dandu Bones will enter your Black Rock Cave. You will send people to escort Bai Tangling out of Black Rock Ridge and meet Governor Wei in public. Bai Tangling can tell Governor Wei the truth in public. Under the witness of many people, your Black Rock Cave The grievances can be washed away.”
"But... but Wei Shutong will meet us?" Eve asked worriedly.
King Damiao smiled and said: "This is Dandu Gu's mission. Not only will he persuade Governor Wei to meet you, but he will also arrange the place for the meeting. I will arrange for witnesses to be at the scene to explain the misunderstanding."
Qi Ning felt relieved, thinking that the Damiao King was the Damiao King, and this arrangement was the most appropriate.
In this way, even if Wei Shutong was the one who arranged the trap, but under the witness of many people, Bai Tangling walked out of Heiyan Ridge alive and told the truth, then the grievances in Heiyan Cave can naturally be washed away, and Wei Shutong can only Can order troops to retreat.
"Eve obeys the order of King Damiao!" Eve saluted respectfully, "I will return to Black Rock Ridge immediately and report to my brother."
King Damiao shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry, I will write two letters, one to give the Dandu bone to Governor Wei, and one for you to take back and give to Bayeli. I am old, and it will take time to write two letters." , you stay here for one day and set out together early tomorrow morning."
Eve said anxiously: "But...!"
"You don't have to worry. Black Rock Ridge is blocked. If you rush back now, you may not be able to get in outside Black Rock Ridge." King Damiao said: "After Dandu Gu meets Governor Wei, Governor Wei will naturally let you go." Enter the stronghold, and then you can give the letter to Bayali."
Eve was still going to speak, but the Miao King had already said: "Langcha Dulu, take Eve and the others to the village to rest first." He may have had a will of steel in the past, but he is now old and in his twilight years, unable to even stand up It was all a bit difficult, so he seemed a little tired at this time.
Eve stood up and bowed respectfully, and Qining also stood up and bowed deeply.
If everything goes as arranged by King Damiao and the Black Cave incident is successfully put to rest, it will certainly be the best outcome for Qing Ning.
Langchatulu came over and raised his hand to ask the two of them to go out. Eve took a few steps and looked back. King Damiao just smiled and nodded, raising his hand slightly to indicate to Eve not to worry too much. That gentle smile made Yifu Fu felt somewhat at peace.
Although the main village of Sheung Shuidong was large, it was difficult for the two of them to move around, so the next half day was very boring.
Qi Ning was secretly glad that Bai Tangling escaped death, otherwise Heiyandong would not be able to clear up the injustice even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He kept wondering in his heart who the real culprit who framed Heiyandong would be.
Eve wanted to leave early, but King Damiao was right. If she went back at this time, she might not be able to enter the Black Rock Ridge.
It was not easy for her to escape from Black Rock Ridge that day. After that time, the blockade would of course become even tighter, and it would be even more difficult to return to Black Rock Ridge at this time.
But now that King Damiao has made arrangements, this gives Eve some confidence.
The letter of the Miao King represents the attitude of the Miao Family's Seventy-Two Caves. Although Eve doesn't know what the Damiao King will write in the letter, one thing is certain. Even the governor of Xichuan will read the letter of the Miao King. Then I have to weigh it carefully.
After dinner, the letter from the Miao King was still not delivered, but a tall and thin Miao man came outside the house and said respectfully: "The Miao King invites you!"
Eve hurriedly left the house, and Qi Ning also followed. The Miao man said: "The Miao King invites you two to go. I have something to explain to you."
Qining asked curiously: "You called me too?"
"Yes." The Miao man said respectfully: "The Miao King said that he has something to tell you, so you two will go together." Thinking of something, he asked: "The Miao King will summon you in his room, so don't bring weapons with you. , the weapons can stay here, no one dares to touch your things."
Eve knew that when Damiao King summoned him, he should give the letter to her, so it was a bit strange to ignore why Qining was summoned.
When they entered the Shangshui Cave Dazhai before, they were not allowed to bring weapons into the house. The two of them also knew the rules for meeting the temple king, so they left the dagger and cold blade in the house.
It doesn't matter whether you have weapons or not. You are in a water cave on the mountain stream. If you want to deal with the two of you in the water cave, even if you have a magic weapon with you, it will be of no use.
The thin Miao man led the two of them to the mountainside. The sky had already darkened, and the lights of countless stilted buildings were like stars.
After walking for a while, we followed a wooden suspension bridge to the end. There was a bamboo and wooden stilt building in front of us. It didn't look like anything special. The thin Miao man said respectfully: "The Miao King is waiting, I'll wait here." you."
Eve nodded and thanked, and then the two of them walked down to the stilted building. There was no one around, and this stilted building was a single building here, and the surroundings were quiet. It seemed that the Miao King was old and did not like the excitement.
The clothes went upstairs, the door was slightly open, and the lights were on in the room. Eve said respectfully: "Eve of Black Rock Cave, please see the King of Miao."
There was silence in the room, and there was no sound. Eve turned back and glanced at Qining. Qining said softly: "The Miao King is old and may not have heard it. Please call two more times."
Eve nodded and called twice more, but there was still no movement in the room.
Qi Ning felt strange in his heart. Eve's voice was not too soft. He met the Damiao King today. Although he was old, his hearing seemed to be good. It was quiet around here. If the Damiao King was in the house, there was no way he could not hear it.
Eve also frowned, turned around and whispered softly: "There doesn't seem to be anyone inside."
Qi Ning, however, had already turned back and looked at the wooden bridge he had just passed. He saw that the thin Miao man by the bridge had disappeared. His heart trembled as he realized something and whispered: "Let's get out of here quickly. "
Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard a voice saying: "Hey, why are you here? Do you want to see the Miao King?" In the midst of the voice, four or five people suddenly appeared from the side. The first one was tall and sturdy, and it was Lang. Chaturu.
Eve was startled when she saw Langchatulu and a few people suddenly appear like ghosts. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she still said: "The Damiao King summoned us two to come. We haven't gone in yet. It seems that the Damiao King is not here." In the house.”
Langchatulu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, King Miao will be in the house at this time every day. It has never changed in the past ten years." He walked upstairs and said, "I'll go in and have a look." He didn't knock either. He reached out and pushed the door open. The door was not closed tightly, so he pushed it open easily. Langchatulu strode in and said loudly: "Dad, Eve is outside, saying that you summoned me...!" Suddenly I heard A shrill cry: "Dad... Dad, you... what's wrong with you, come, come, come quickly, King Damiao has been assassinated!"
