Chapter 317 Intelligence of Eight Years Old
Qiang people.
Saint's Tower.
"Saintess, the tribe's Eagle Eye reported that some people want to break into the snow mountain. They are already at the north entrance, a total of thirteen people." A Yin reported.
Lian Qiao leaned back on the fur chair and asked, "Do you know the identity of this visitor?"
"I don't know, but I suspect they are enemies, not friends. Su Jiuni and Bai Yu arrived shortly before those people followed. They must be in the same group."
Qiaobai's fingertips stroked the wound on her neck, and a dark light flashed in Lianqiao's eyes. "In that case, let's keep them all here!"
She stood up and gave the order, "Order Hawkeye to lead fifty of his men to bury those uninvited visitors in the snowy mountains! After nightfall, capture one hundred of our tribesmen, but be careful to avoid being seen. I'm reactivating the Hundred Killing Formation! If you mess with me again, I'll kill you!"
Ah Yin didn't dare to say anything more and quickly responded, "Yes, I will definitely take care of it!"
"Go, call the woodcutter."
Qiao Nu was the man who tested Tian Bao with the sound of the flute that night.
After entering the blockhouse, he knelt in the open space of the hall and waited for orders.
"Qiao Nu, you were assigned to me by the prince. Your skills are among the best in the Qiang tribe. You've been loyal to me all these years. I trust you more than I trust Ah Yin, because we're both devoted to the prince." Lian Qiao slowly approached Qiao Nu, raised his chin with her index finger, and glared down at him. "Now that Su Jiuni has come to the Qiang tribe, we should work together to take her down. Right now, I have a very important task for you to do. It might cost you your life. Are you willing?"
The woodcutter didn't dare to look sideways, "I will do as the Saint commands."
"Okay, hehe!" Lian Qiao withdrew her fingers with satisfaction. After explaining the matter and sending away the woodcutter, she left the first-floor hall and returned to the bedroom upstairs.
The saint's bedroom is luxurious, and all she uses are the best and most exquisite in the clan.
There are vases in the east and mirrors in the west, with jade and silver hanging from the walls. Against the wall stands a large carved wooden cabinet filled with gorgeous skirts and colorful clothes.
Lian Qiao sat down in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the person in the mirror, and lifted the veil with her fingertips, revealing the face hidden behind it.
The woman has a very beautiful face with rosy cheeks and a face as bright as clouds.
She raised her hand and stroked her fair cheek, her eyes filled with affection, and for a moment she was as tender as water.
"Liu Lang, after we capture Su Jiuni, it will be a great achievement. You should come and see me, right?"
…
The Baima tribe has been as lively these days as if it were New Year's Day.
Those who go out hunting every day never return empty-handed.
Those who were recovering from injuries before were eager to return to the team before their injuries were healed, and they were happy to go out with them every day to satisfy their cravings.
"Sister Tianbao, Uncle Luma said we're going to the snow-capped mountains to the west this afternoon. There are also prey to hunt there." After lunch, Lu Bing'er shyly rubbed against Tianbao. She encouraged herself several times before she dared to speak, "Sister, can you take Bing'er with you?"
The nanny has been busy researching ways to remove the poison recently, and we can only see her during meal times.
The first floor became the territory of the three young men.
Tian Bao was lying on the only bamboo lounge chair in the room, his eyes half open and half closed. He turned his head to look at the pink and white face beside him, raised his hand and pinched it, "Are you not afraid of me now?"
The little girl smiled brightly, her eyes curved, "Don't be afraid!"
She has become familiar with Sister Tianbao these days!
Whenever she talks, her sister will reply to her, and she will always answer the questions she asks. How nice!
Lu Bing'er felt secretly delighted in her heart. She seemed to know the secret of her sister Tianbao. Although her sister didn't like to laugh, she was not fierce at all and was a good person!
The little girl's smile was like a cat stealing some fish, very cute.
Tian Bao curled the corners of his lips and closed his eyes, "Go if you want to."
The little girl squatting beside her jumped up with joy, picked up her skirt and ran upstairs, "I'll go tell Mammy that my sister is taking Bing'er out to play!"
Bai Yu sat by the stove with an expressionless face.
"Tianbao, don't you think the people we meet are weird? Why do all the young people like to hang out with you? Xiao Maisui is like this, and so is Lu Bing'er—"
The girl's voice was faint, "You were just like them when you were little."
“…”Yes, when he was a kid he liked to get beaten up.
Bai Yu pointed at his nose again, "We came here together, and she only sticks to you and not me. I'm such a grown-up sitting here like I don't exist. Is that normal? Young Master, this face is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Next time, find someone who sticks to you?"
“…”
Bai Yu was roasting fire seriously.
If I continue talking about this, I'll get pissed off.
Tianbao has never been able to chat since he was a child!
After a few days, the tribe could not find a single wild animal in the snowfield within a radius of ten miles.
The hunters were very excited. If they couldn't find anything here, they would go to another place to hunt. In the afternoon, everyone called Tianbao and Bai Yu and set off towards the snow-capped mountains in the west.
Lu Bing'er specially changed into clothes that were convenient for hunting. She stuck to Tianbao with bright eyes, like a child who had just grown up and was ready to see the world.
When the few of them set off, Nanny Lu leaned against the window upstairs and watched them go. Her gaze fell on her little granddaughter's back, and a smile of relief filled her eyes.
The hunters in the tribe were also surprised that Bing'er came along, but no one showed any surprise on their faces so as not to make Bing'er sensitive.
As the little girl clung to the young woman, Lu Ma and Bai Yu walked side by side. Looking at the little girl in front of them jumping on her toes with joy, a smile spread across her face. "I didn't expect Bing'er to be so close to Tianbao. Aunt Lu must be very pleased."
Bai Yu's eyebrows twitched, and he lowered his voice, "Bing'er looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she's more innocent than the average child of her age."
"She just turned fifteen years old last year. Sigh," Luma sighed softly. "If nothing unexpected had happened, Bing'er would have been the current Saint of the Qiang Tribe. She was incredibly clever as a child, extremely gifted in witchcraft, and instantly mastered it. Lian Qiao, in order to retain her position as Saint, schemed to have Bing'er killed. She was only eight years old at the time. Ever since then, she's always had the personality of an eight-year-old. As she's grown older, her intelligence has remained forever frozen in time."
"Is there a time limit for the reign of your Qiang Saintess?"
"No, the clan will choose the next successor after a saint becomes a saint until she dies of old age. Lian Qiao lost her qualification to continue to be a saint because she broke the love vow, so the clan elders discussed and decided to let Bing'er succeed her. Lian Qiao was cruel and ruthless, and she directly harmed Bing'er."
"Lian Qiao plotted to murder the next Saint, and was not punished?"
"Hmph, she joined forces with outside experts to put pressure on the elders, and after that, none of the elders dared to speak out against her. The experts who protected Lian Qiao were also given to her by outsiders. That shameless guy—" Ruma was angry, but he finally shut up and said nothing more.
These ugly things in the tribe should not be mentioned to outsiders, and he has already said too much.
Seeing this, Bai Yu wisely stopped asking any more questions.
"Sister, why are you so good at hunting? Bing'er also wants to be as good as you!"
The little girl's voice and words beside her were full of sweetness and innocence. Tian Bao lowered his eyes to look at her, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her head, very gently, "I'll teach you."
