Chapter 409: First Visit to Miao Territory
Miaojiang is surrounded by a thick layer of miasma, which is highly poisonous. Ordinary people dare not enter Miaojiang at will.
Two carriages slowly drove into the miasma. The first carriage was driven by Wutong and Yinxing, with Su Chenyu and Baiyu Yanqing sitting inside; the carriage behind was driven by Zhuyi, with Xuanling, Ciyu, and Li Mucheng sitting inside.
After much deliberation, Su Chenyu decided to continue the two-pronged strategy. Li Muyuan and Tan Yanxi would continue to go to the capital with the envoys. With Nanny Xu taking care of them, there shouldn't be any trouble.
After all, the envoy had returned safely from his mission to Western Xia, especially having brought Jian Yuan with him, so it was impossible for Emperor Jing of Wei to make trouble for this.
The only possible variable is Lian Yuzhao, but Tan Yanxi was sent by Emperor Jing of Wei himself, with his explanation and the letter with Feng Xuanming's private seal. Emperor Jing of Wei didn't want to believe it, and could only believe that Lian Yuzhao had an accident while hunting.
As for Su Chenyu, he will come directly to Miaojiang. When the time comes, he only needs to say that they came to Miaojiang because of the Xixia medicine man, and Emperor Wei Jingdi will not say much.
After all, the matter of the medicine man has spread now, and they would be delighted if someone is willing to be the pioneer to investigate in Miaojiang.
"Fortunately, we have the antidote, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to get through the poisonous miasma outside." Ginkgo sighed. They had specially sprinkled a layer of insect repellent powder on the outer wall of the carriage. They had seen quite a few poisonous insects along the way.
The further we walked in, the fewer poisonous insects there were around. We guessed that we were near a residential area.
Su Chenyu thought that there seemed to be no guards since entering Miaojiang, which seemed a little unusual.
"In the past, the guards around Miaojiang were all from the three major villages, but recently there have been some unpleasantness among the three major villages, and for a while all the guards went to guard their own villages."
Before coming here, Bai Yanqing naturally checked the situation in Miaojiang.
The three great wizards of Miaojiang were respectively stationed in three major villages, namely Baiyun Village, Jushi Village, and Qianqi Village.
Among them, the chief witch of Baiyun Village is proficient in using Gu to save people, which is the main pharmacology; the chief witch of Jushi Village is good at using Gu to kill people, and has the most means of raising Gu; the chief witch of Qianqi Village can trace the past and see the future, and his wise eyes can see the world.
Su Chenyu guessed that the young man pretending to be Nan Sheng whom she met last time should be from Qianqi Village. Those eyes that could turn into golden pupils were the eyes that could see through the world.
The peace between the three great witches meant the harmonious coexistence among the three villages. However, in recent days, for some unknown reason, the relationship between the three villages suddenly became tense, and the peace that had always existed was broken.
"We should go look for people from Baiyun Village this time. We don't have a map of Miaojiang now, and I don't know if Fang Yi is right." Su Chenyu was a little worried. Everyone who had set foot in Miaojiang before was dead. Even if they wanted to find a guide, they wouldn't be able to find one.
After entering the Miao territory, Su Chenyu and others wandered around for two days without seeing a single living person.
Seeing that everyone was somewhat discouraged, Su Chenyu thought of the bone flute that Nan Sheng had given her before. To be honest, now was not the time to force it, Su Chenyu didn't want to use it, but if it continued like this, she didn't know when it would end.
Just when Su Chenyu was about to blow the bone flute, Bai Yanqing heard a noise coming from the front. He held Su Chenyu's hand and ordered, "Stop the car."
After the carriage stopped, Bai Yanqing helped Su Chenyu get off the carriage: "You guys wait here, Chenyu and I will go to the front to see what happened."
