Chapter 280: A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake
Ji Yunshu also followed her gaze and didn't expect that the chief of the Yuxi tribe lived in such a small house.
Qiyun seemed to see through her confusion and explained, "This is where my mother grew up. After she passed away, my father brought me here. He said this is home."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but admire him: "Your father is such a good man."
Qiyun smiled and said, "Actually, what Kesang said is right. We Miao people are committed to one person for life and will never abandon him/her. There are many men like my father here. It's nothing unusual."
Ji Yunshu said enviously, "Your place is really nice."
The dream of being with someone for the rest of their life that many people pursue is actually within reach here.
Seeing her like this, Qiyun joked, "Forget about others, but you already have Zhao Shen, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Ji Yunshu looked up and saw green mountains hidden in the veil-like mist in the distance, and a long stream flowing behind the house.
Being together with your loved one in such a beautiful place makes your trip to this world worthwhile.
She said sadly, "You don't understand."
Qiyun was too lazy to pay attention to her. She walked to the door and knocked. The person inside said something. Qiyun pushed the door open and led them in.
Inside was a man in his thirties. He looked very similar to Qiyun, but his facial features were more rigid.
This is naturally Qiyun's father, Zhebie, the patriarch of the Yuxi tribe, the largest tribe in Miao territory.
Seeing them, the other party stood up and said, "So you are our distinguished guests. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person."
He actually spoke fluent Daxia language.
Compared to Qiyun and Kesan who spoke the Daxia language with obvious accents, the Yuxi tribe leader spoke fluently and naturally, without any accent at all.
Ji Yunshu quickly said, "Thank you, Patriarch. We are the ones who disturbed you."
This man has a calm temperament, which makes people feel that he is just like Qiyun said, without any ambition and just wants to live a stable life.
Zhebie said: "Qiyun caused you trouble in the capital before. Now you are good friends. You came to our village, so we should treat you well."
Qiyun jumped in front of him and said coquettishly, "Father, I've said thank you many times, you don't have to say it again. They escaped from the Hongtu tribe. I think Kesang has been bewitched. He actually disregarded the safety of all of us Miao people and wanted to kill the Changxing Marquis and his wife."
Zhebie smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these. If you have nothing to do, you can take your friends to have fun in the village."
Qiyun complained, "You always treat me like a child."
Zhebie said to Ji Yunshu embarrassedly, "I've spoiled this girl. Madam Lao, please bear with her."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Qiyun is cheerful, lively and cute. I like her very much."
Her words clearly resonated with Zhebie. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "You must be tired after all the traveling. Just rest up in the village. I'll take care of the Hongtu tribe."
Ji Yunshu hurriedly thanked him.
Zhebie immediately ordered someone to clean up the house for Ji Yunshu and the others.
Qiyun probably thought that they had escaped overnight and needed a good rest, so she didn't come to disturb them.
After returning to the room, Ji Yunshu had breakfast before lying down on the bed.
This was a very wide bamboo bed, more than enough for three people to lie on it, so Ji Yunshu asked Bai Ling and Yin Ye to sleep with her.
If it were in the past, the two would definitely not agree to sleep in the same bed with Ji Yunshu, but after living together in the open air for these days, they got used to it.
Besides, Ji Yunshu is not at all spoiled, and does not care about these trivial matters. He is a very easy-going master.
The three of them lay down on the bed side by side, and Yin Ye asked, "Is this tribe leader really friendly to us? The number of people guarding outside is no less than before in the Hongtu tribe."
Ji Yunshu said, "It's hard to tell whether he's friendly or not, but those people should really be there to protect us. No matter what she's thinking, she definitely wouldn't dare let me die on his territory."
Actually, Ji Yunshu did something dishonest. She came to Yu Xi's tribe with the intention of having them protect her.
Kesan must have known about her escape, and Lin Huixue must have known about it too.
If Yu Xi's tribe wants to protect her from Lin Huixue, they may have to pay some price.
She believed that Zhebie must be aware of this matter, but he still accepted her arrival and automatically sent people to protect her.
Ji Yunshu couldn't tell for a moment whether this man really had no ambition and only wanted to protect his own people.
If he really thought so, Ji Yunshu would be able to help him.
Bai Ling said, "Master, taking advantage of his desire to protect his people and setting him up against Lin Huixue is certainly a good idea, but what if he's no match for Lin Huixue?"
Behind Lin Huixue is Prince Yong. Prince Yong has made countless plans behind the scenes over the years and has become very powerful. Even the emperor, knowing that he is planning a rebellion, can only take his time.
How could Zhebie, a Miao tribe leader, fight against Lin Huixue who came from Prince Yong's Mansion?
Ji Yunshu said, "A powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake. For Zhebie to become the clan leader, he must have some extraordinary qualities. Didn't Lin Huixue say the time isn't ripe yet? Whatever that time is, while he can't attack Daxia, he won't disrupt the balance between the three major tribes. Otherwise, Miaojiang wouldn't be in its current state long ago."
Bai Ling also remembered clearly what Lin Huixue had said to Kesang. She couldn't help but ask, "What opportunity is he waiting for?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I don't know either, but this must be very important. It is related to the success or failure of Lin Huixue's entire plan. Our first priority is to find out the truth about this matter first."
"But we are now in the Yuxi tribe, and the people here may not be who they appear to be. If we alert them, the master may be in danger."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "That's easy. Didn't the clan leader ask Qiyun to take us out for fun? Let's have some fun. Since Lin Huixue has chosen to establish a presence in Southern Xinjiang, there must be something here that's not available elsewhere. Let's investigate."
Seeing that she was very thoughtful, wanting to understand Lin Huixue's plan while ensuring her own safety, Yin Ye smiled and said, "I can't figure out these things, but if the master has anything you need me to do, I'll do it for you."
To be honest, when she first followed Ji Yunshu, she thought that she would have to stay in the inner palace for the rest of her life. The biggest thing for her was to watch the women in the backyard compete with each other for beauty and then decline together.
Who knew it would be a completely different experience.
Her master really runs around more than any other man, and does big things.
She was very proud.
The three of them were indeed tired after tossing and turning all night and fell asleep quickly.
I didn't wake up until the afternoon.
When Ji Yunshu opened his eyes, he heard Qiyun complaining, "You can sleep so well. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ji Yunshu felt thirsty from his sleep, so he stood up and walked to the table. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it before asking, "What are you waiting for me for?"
