Although many people gathered in Yangzhumie City in southern Xinjiang at this time, it was cold and solemn.
Not only did they show great vigilance to the outside world, but internally... the Bai Miao high-level officials were also caught in a dispute!
The chief of the Bai Miao tribe, A Man, had rejected the suggestion of the five elders in front of him to "accept the conditions for peace talks with Baiyue" for the third time...
The chief of the Bai Miao tribe, also known as the "King of the South Barbarians", after the death of the old King of the South Barbarians more than ten years ago, because the children were still young, it was his wife who took over the position of "King of the South Barbarians"!
At this time, women had a higher status in the Miao tribe, and this was even more so in the Bai Miao tribe. Not only the chief, but also the nine elders were mostly women and old women, so it was not surprising that a woman was the King of the South Barbarians
. "Chief! If this continues, the Bai Miao lineage will die! Are we going to fight to the death of our tribe for a little girl?" The fourth elder, who was the most impatient, said immediately.
"Shut up! Ling'er is already our queen and high priest. Fourth Elder, if you speak rudely again, don't blame me for being ruthless! The same goes for all the elders. I should have said before that this matter does not need to be discussed again... And if there is a fourth time, no matter if there are more people, I will directly deal with you according to the clan rules!"
Although she is a woman, she is a strong-willed person who can curb the Black Miao tribe supported by the Moon Worship Cult for a long time.
Ah Man looks about 30 years old. At this time, her pretty eyes are narrowed. Several old women in front of her are also worried, and the fourth elder who spoke before dare not speak again.
Among the five elders who agreed to abolish Zhao Ling'er, the smartest Ninth Elder said: "I believe that the reason why the clan leader strongly opposes surrendering to the Black Miao is not for his own power..."
"Humph, that's natural!"
"But what the clan leader is doing now can't be said to be completely for the White Miao tribe, right?" The Ninth Elder looks like an old woman in her 50s.
"Have you forgotten the kindness and contributions of the high priest to the Bai Miao people? Do you want to let Bai Yue slander us?" Ah Man said angrily.
The high priest she was talking about was Ling Er's mother Lin Qing Er.
"Listen carefully... In the Bai Miao people, we only want warriors who died in battle, not cowards who betrayed their benefactors! Anyone who wants to shame the Bai Miao people and the high priest... should test his neck to see if it is as strong as a scimitar!" Ah Man's eyes were full of murderous light.
Seeing the furious look of the Nanman King, one could not help but believe that if the Ninth Elder dared to say "yes", she would immediately have someone take him down and chop him off.
"Ahem... The clan leader just wants to protect the reputation of the Witch Queen. In fact, there is no need to sacrifice our Bai Miao clan." The Ninth Elder changed his words.
Without waiting for the Southern Barbarian King to speak, the Ninth Elder continued, "The Moon Worship Sect probably doesn't want our Miao clan to have constant internal friction. Wasn't it all fine before? Why did the Moon Worship Sect suddenly start to slander the Witch Queen crazily? It's not because of the Witch Queen herself, but because the Witch Queen and the Witch King's daughter are back!
Otherwise, after all, the Witch Queen is dead, and the past cannot be retrieved... As long as we put Zhao Linger under house arrest in exchange, I think the Moon Worship Sect is willing to stop mentioning the Witch Queen as before. Even if the clan leader agrees, I am willing to go to Taihe City in person to lobby and ask the Moon Worship Sect leader to restore the reputation of the Witch Queen..."
Seeing that the clan leader's face was ugly, the Ninth Elder had to add, "Of course, the princess will only be under house arrest. After she becomes famous, she can be sent out of Southern Xinjiang like she did ten years ago. Then..." "
Shut up!"
"Clan leader..."
"If you say anything more, Elder Nine, don't blame me for my clan leader's 'blood-sucking poison' for not recognizing people!" The Nanman King said, his eyes were blood red.
The Ninth Elder naturally knew that this was a sign that the clan leader was going to release his own blood-sucking poison,
so he immediately stopped talking. But at this moment, the Second Elder, who looked to be in his 80s, rushed to bow down and said, "Please think twice
, clan leader..." The Nanman King was also better to the Second Elder: "Second Elder is confused! Do you also think that with Baiyue's ambition, he will let the White Miao tribe go as long as they surrender? Even if he will not kill them all in order to preserve the overall strength of the Miao tribe, the Black Miao has not only allowed soldiers to become bandits once or twice!"
At this moment, two more people came in after reporting, one old and one young. The old one looked like an old woman who was older than the Second Elder, and the woman was Gai Luojiao who escorted Ling'er back.
"Saint Aunt, why are you here?" The Nanman King was very respectful to the old woman, and he stood up to greet her when he saw her.
This is the second generation Saint Aunt after "Puppet Granny", and also the descendant of Puppet Granny. Now she is the nominal elder of the Bai Miao tribe...
However, Saint Aunt has never admitted her identity as the elder, so others have always called her "Saint Aunt".
"My mission has always been to protect the Saint and her descendants. I failed to save the Saint back then, and now someone wants to touch Ling'er, so I naturally have to come and see!"
The Saint Aunt, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and rarely loses her temper, suddenly became strong. Several elders who advocated "abandoning the car to save the general" were embarrassed and frightened...
Puppet Granny is the guardian and housekeeper of Nuwa's descendants from generation to generation. Although the previous generation of Puppet Granny died of poisoning, causing a lot of her inheritance to be lost, the Saint Aunt is still the number one master of the Bai Miao tribe!
Finally, it was the Ninth Elder who mustered up the courage and asked, "Saint, there is something I don't understand! Saint, how do you think we should fight against the Black Miao tribe now? Not to mention that our White Miao tribe is a little weak now, you have to know that the Moon Worshiper himself has not personally taken action! If he takes action personally, who in the White Miao tribe can stop him?"
Baiyue is now the best master in Southern Xinjiang, and Saint is no match for him.
As for the other "Nangong Daxian" who can be compared with him in the rumors, although he often appears in Southern Xinjiang, he is not a Miao after all, and he can't be found to help now...
Saint was speechless for a while.
"Since Saint also knows that he can't win, do you want our White Miao tribe to be buried with the Witch Queen's daughter? I think even if the Witch Queen is alive, she will never agree to it!" The Ninth Elder said righteously.
However, after a long silence, the Saint Aunt said, "More than ten years ago, I failed to protect the Witch Queen. Since Princess Ling'er came back, I have decided that whoever wants to hurt her must step over my body! As for the Bai Miao people... The Saint Maiden asked me to be the Saint Aunt of the Bai Miao people. Now I don't want to be one anymore. I will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Bai Miao people..." The
Saint Aunt's tone was not tough, but it seemed very firm...
But at this moment, the King of the Southern Barbarians interrupted, "Wait! What does the Saint Aunt mean? Are you looking down on the Bai Miao people? Princess... Her Majesty the Queen has ascended the throne. Anyone who dares to criticize the Queen is guilty of treason. If the Ninth Elder is dissatisfied, he can leave Yangzhumie City now and surrender to Baiyue himself!"
Gai Luojiao also said, "Yes, the Bai Miao soldiers are not afraid of dying in battle!"
"Hmph! This is the meeting of the elders. General Gai Luojiao has exceeded his authority!" The second elder interrupted.
"I dare not disturb the meeting of the elders... But I have led the warriors of the White Miao tribe to pledge allegiance to Ling'er, no, to Her Majesty the Queen. Now I am just informing the elders!" Gai Luojiao said.
As the first general of the White Miao, although Gai Luojiao has little experience, she is also enough to represent the army of the White Miao tribe because of her prestige in the army!
"How dare you! Who gave it to you..." The second elder said angrily.
"I gave it to you! I have already said that in Dali City, Ling'er will be the new queen of the Miao people! As the commander of the Dali City Army, why can't Gai Luojiao be loyal to her?" said the King of the Southern Barbarians. Before Ling'er
ascended the throne, the King of the Southern Barbarians had already announced that Yangzhumie City would be renamed "Dali City".
"You, you... In the future, when the Moon Worship Sect and the Black Miao soldiers join forces, who can stop them?" The ninth elder held on to this matter, which was indeed a serious matter.
At this time, someone spread the rumor that two people from the Central Plains, one of whom claimed to be Zhao Linger's master, had entered the palace to see the queen...
