We need to wait.
Qiao Lian'er then asked, "When you go to the Kui Niu Kingdom, how different do the people there look from those in the Da Ze Kingdom?"
Boss Qiao recalled: "They are exposed to the sun all year round, so they are darker-skinned. They also have bigger eyes, thicker lips, and lower noses."
Do all the neighboring countries to the south look like this?
"Is it pretty much correct? Lian'er, why are you asking this?"
Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
She wanted someone with blonde hair and blue eyes, someone with very prominent foreign features, so that it would be immediately obvious that they were a foreigner, thus reducing the hassle of investigation.
Have you ever seen a foreigner with blond hair, green or blue eyes, and a very high nose?
Both of them were trying hard to think.
"Are you talking about the Hu people?" Qiao Laosan suddenly asked.
"Yes, they are Hu people."
Qiao Lian'er never expected that this dynasty, which did not exist in history, would also use the term "Hu people".
"I saw them once, ten years ago. They passed through Qingshui Town, speaking in a language I couldn't understand. It was quite a struggle to make them realize that they were on their way to the capital."
"I've heard that there are quite a few non-Hu people in the capital, and they can even hold official positions in the court, with relatively high status."
This is a bit tricky, Qiao Lian'er thought with a headache.
She needs a Hu person, and a trustworthy Hu person to cooperate with her and form a tacit understanding of mutual interests. That Hu person also needs to have some power to protect both sides, mediate with all parties, and resolve the predicament.
Is she going to the capital? It's too risky for a young girl like her to go on such a journey; this idea won't work.
So, is there anyone I can ask for help? And who can help me with this?
Da Yong returned around noon.
He didn't look well.
Although General Chu granted the three brothers special permission not to go to the camp every day, out of a sense of responsibility, they would train soldiers, build liaison, and establish authority at the camp unless there were special matters at home.
They ate lunch at the camp and didn't return home until evening.
So when she saw Da Yong return home with a sullen face at noon, Old Lady Qiao asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so down? Did Song Laosan give you a hard time at the camp?"
“He didn’t directly make things difficult for me.” Da Yong’s eyes turned cold. “When he went to General Guan, he asked General Guan to tell him that last time, when Supervisor Qu was almost killed by the rebellious villagers, it was our three brothers who saved Supervisor Qu and gained some goodwill from the people. Song Laosan said that since our three brothers can handle the relationship with the people well, we should go and collect taxes.”
"Isn't this making us enemies? I'm afraid the people's resentment will be transferred to us."
"What? You're being sent to collect taxes? Even General Chu doesn't do this anymore. He doesn't want to cause trouble for the people. Why are you being sent? This Song Laosan is doing this on purpose. He's a heartless person!" Old Mrs. Qiao was furious.
Everyone knows that Song Laosan has incurred the wrath of the people and is frequently retaliated against. She certainly doesn't want such a thing to happen to her three grandsons.
The Qiao family was furious and started cursing.
But General Guan had already given the order, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out the collection, becoming the sinner.
Qiao Lian'er considered it carefully for a moment: "Everyone, don't rush. This is another opportunity for the Qiao family."
