Chapter 281 No News Is the Best News
Qiyun said dissatisfiedly: "How dare you ask? Do you know how much trouble you have brought to our tribe?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her and asked without changing his expression, "What happened?"
Qiyun said in frustration, "You must have known, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me. Not long after you arrived, someone from the Hongtu tribe came to my father to ask for someone else. You didn't see how arrogant that person was. The Hongtu tribe has grown in strength over the years, and they've become less and less concerned about my father."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised by this. It was her first time in southern Xinjiang and she was unfamiliar with the place. The only person she knew was Qiyun, so Lin Huixue could guess where she would go without any hesitation.
"What did your father say?"
Qiyun said, "Of course he said you didn't come. Anyway, the people from the Hongtu tribe can't come to search the village."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "Are the people from the Hongtu tribe so easy to deal with?"
Qiyun said, "Of course they're not that easy to get rid of. My father said there must be spies in the village. You'd better stay in the house for the time being and don't run around."
Ji Yunshu nodded to indicate that he understood.
Qiyun held her chin in her hand and asked in confusion, "Why don't you just stay in the capital? Why did you have to run all the way to Southern Xinjiang? If something happens, will it implicate us?"
Ji Yunshu glared at her: "Why didn't you say anything when I was helping you? Now you think you despise me?"
"I'm just worried about you. The people coming from the Hongtu tribe are the clan leader's men. Judging from their attitude, they are determined to find you."
Ji Yunshu's eyes turned and he said, "You said before that you met Lin Huixue outside. Do you know what his relationship is with the Hongtu tribe?"
Qiyun paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, I've seen him at Kesan's place before. He seems to be very familiar with Kesan's father."
"I see. You said the Hongtu tribe has grown in strength over the years. Do you know what they've done?"
Among the three tribes that were originally equally powerful, one of them suddenly gained a huge increase in strength, which should have attracted the attention of the other two tribes.
Qiyun's face looked a little grim as she said, "My father didn't let me know about these things. He said that if I married Kesan, the relationship between the two tribes might ease. But now, Kesan is completely focused on Ning Huanyi. He won't marry me."
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised. Chief Zan Ning seemed to be a very wise man.
How could a person like him believe that a marriage could resolve the conflict between the two tribes?
If the two ethnic groups have the same ideas, the best outcome of the marriage is the union of the two ethnic groups, but disagreements will arise sooner or later for the right to speak.
If the Hongtu tribe is ambitious and wants to restore its country, but the Yuxi tribe only wants to live a peaceful life, the conflict between the two tribes will be irreconcilable.
No matter which kind of marriage, it cannot solve the problem, not to mention that Kesan is not willing to marry Qiyun at all.
Given how much Zan Ning loves his daughter, how could he let Qiyun marry Kesang even though he knew that Kesang already had someone in his heart?
Ji Yunshu had a hunch that something was wrong, but she didn't know much about southern Xinjiang, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what these people were planning.
Instead, Qiyun asked her curiously, "You've been in Southern Xinjiang for such a long time, and there's been no news about your husband. Aren't you worried about him?"
"What's the point of me worrying? Do you know anything about him?"
Qiyun said, "He's much more powerful than you. People only know that he went to southern Xinjiang, but no one knows where he went. The people from the Hongtu tribe are also looking for him everywhere."
No news is the best news.
Ji Yunshu even suspected that Zhao Shen might not have entered Southern Xinjiang at all.
Otherwise, with the Hongtu tribe's control over southern Xinjiang, it would be difficult to avoid their eyes.
"I thought you knew something. Your Yuxi tribe is, after all, descendants of the royal family. How did you get suppressed like this by the Hongtu tribe?"
Qiyun was dissatisfied and said, "What do you know? The Hongtu tribe's Gu techniques have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, and they have developed many new Gu poisons. Even my father can't detoxify them, so he has to be suppressed by them."
"A new poison?"
Ji Yunshu's eyes narrowed when she heard this. She had always wondered what was so special about Southern Xinjiang that allowed Lin Huixue to run his business here for so many years.
There are only a few people in the Hongtu tribe, yet they dare to dream of restoring their country.
Qiyun's words enlightened her.
Isn’t it just a poison?
"What kind of poison have you ever seen?"
Qiyun nodded. "Someone in our village had a conflict with the Hongtu tribe before. The other side suddenly became very powerful. Even after being injured, they were still able to fight without being affected. My father said it was the effect of the poison."
Ji Yunshu felt heavy in his heart, secretly guessing that it might be something like a stimulant.
If soldiers in the army used something like this, it would indeed greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.
But even so, can Hongtu, a tribe of more than 50,000 people alone, be confident of defeating the Daxia army guarding the southern border and successfully restore the country?
But Lin Huixue said that the time has not come yet. What time is he waiting for?
While thinking about this, Ji Yunshu said, "That's quite impressive. Since your father knows how powerful the other party's poison is, hasn't he thought of a countermeasure?"
Qiyun said, "Of course I have thought about it. My father and the elders have studied it for a long time, but they still can't figure out how they did it, so now we can only avoid their edge."
While the two were talking, someone outside called Qiyun. She quickly stood up and walked out, while reminding Ji Yunshu: "People from the Hongtu tribe may be watching this place, so don't run around."
"I know."
When Ji Yunshu responded, Qiyun had already run out.
She sat there thinking about the conversation without moving.
Bai Ling boiled some water and poured her a cup, saying, "It's not safe here. It's better for you to drink freshly boiled water, Master."
Ji Yunshu knew she was worried about the Gu worm, so he asked with a smile, "Why are you so alert? Have you noticed anything unusual here?"
Bai Ling shook his head. "That's not the case, but while it makes sense, we can't go out. How is that any different from being under house arrest?"
Ji Yunshu also had this feeling. At first, the clan leader asked Qiyun to take her to play in the village, but he changed his mind after she had a nap.
If Zhebie couldn't even protect one person in his own village, then they would have lost the qualifications to compete with the Hongtu tribe.
Yin Ye also said, "Miss Qiyun's words are very strange. She seems to be deliberately letting us know about the situation of the Hongtu tribe. It sounds like the Yuxi tribe wants to use Daxia to suppress the Hongtu tribe, but this doesn't make sense."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "Of course this is irrational. No matter how the two tribes fight, it is the Miao people's own business. They would never want Daxia to interfere."
But the reality is that the Hongtu tribe accepted the instructions of Lin Huixue, a Daxia man. Just look at Kesan's performance in front of Lin Huixue and you will know that he is treated with courtesy in the Hongtu tribe. Even the young patriarch can only be scolded in front of him.
Qiyun had previously escaped from southern Xinjiang and ran directly to the capital, also hoping to use Daxia to achieve her own goals.
Although Ji Yunshu still hasn't figured out what she wants to do.
But in fact, she also contributed to bringing herself and Zhao Shen here.
I just don't know whether she did it intentionally or not.
