Because even within Nanzhao, there are still many people who hate poison.
Take the owner of the merchant ship that Xie Ling and the others were on, for example.
He was talking loudly on the deck, looking very relieved.
“Our ancestors of the Nanzhao people were priests of the Zhou Dynasty. They were the messengers of the gods in the mortal world and had a noble status.
How can we associate with insects and shrimps? It is really degrading. Witchcraft was banned thousands of years ago. I think we Nanzhao people should unite to resist it…”
Other businessmen echoed.
"Yes! Because of this thing, when I go out to do business, people from other countries don't dare to deal with me, for fear that I will put a spell on them and confuse them..."
"We decent people are really suffering from this!"
…
Three days later.
The few of them finally arrived at the foot of Dazhou Mountain, rescued the people in an instant, and brought them back to Sinan.
Peace returned to Sinan and no one disappeared anymore.
But Nanzhao was different.
All branch altars were destroyed.
The high priest's right hand was crippled and he was unconscious.
The young emperor was still young and could only cry.
The high priest used to serve as the prime minister and was the backbone of the entire Nanzhao.
Now that he is in a coma, no one can make decisions for him. The whole court is shrouded in a dark cloud and is extremely bleak.
A few days passed like this.
Suddenly there was news from the border.
Sinan actually sent tens of thousands of soldiers to patrol the Dazhoushan border, looking like they were about to attack. The Nanzhao court was completely panicked.
There was a lot of noise in the White Jade Hall.
"I said at the beginning that this policy should not be adopted. The poison is punishable by anyone in the Seven Kingdoms, and the high priest is stubborn and willful..."
"The High Priest is still thinking about the humiliation we Nanzhao suffered fifty years ago, and wants Beijiang to return it."
Fifty years ago, the emperor in power in Beijiang was very warlike and had been attacking Nanzhao for nearly ten years, forcing the people to become homeless and separated from their wives and children.
Nanzhao was also forced to cede several cities, and it took nearly two or three decades of recuperation before it slowly recovered.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Nanzhao is a weak country with few soldiers. Apart from using poison, what other methods do they have for revenge?
At this time, the king on the dragon throne started crying again.
The ministers were busy handing out candies or shaking rattles, and were extremely busy.
"Go and apologize."
Right at this moment.
A young girl's voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
All the officials turned around and saw a young girl in a blue lotus dress standing gracefully in the light and shadow. The silver phoenix ornament on her forehead was blown up by the wind, making a rustling sound.
Blue lotus is a color that only the royal family can wear.
"Meet the Great Princess."
All the officials came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted.
The little king on the dragon throne suddenly ran down and rushed into the girl's arms with a crisp voice.
"Sister!"
Long Lingzhi's eyes were gentle, and she touched her brother's head before she said firmly: "Beijiang is now in a three-way confrontation. If Sinan attacks us hastily, we will definitely be attacked by the other two rebel factions.
They are just trying to scare us, trying to make us give in and give up our interests. Lord Wan, take your men as envoys and go to Sinan to take a look.
I heard that Sinan’s lord, Nanwei Wang Gu Wei, has a good reputation in Beijiang and is very upright, so he will definitely not embarrass you.”
