When he asked this question, everyone couldn't help but look at him.
Zhao Xin felt a little strange, because the Qingyun Cave described by the old soldier in the post station last night did not seem like a sect.
According to the old soldier, not only Qingyun Cave, but also none of the so-called "caves", "tribes" and "forts" of the natives had the so-called saint lady.
Among the three, the so-called cave is probably equivalent to the primitive matriarchal tribe.
Those in power are usually women, and there is no normal family structure within the society. Instead, they practice visiting marriage.
No surname either.
But before, Qian Kong said that there was a saint lady, and that saint lady was actually called Yun Panpan. This is a very Qin-style name, and Yun feels like a surname.
The difference between "clan" and "bao" is not that big. Both are patriarchal societies, but bao and clan are different. Usually, a "clan" is an ethnic group, while a "bao" is a family with a surname separated from these clans.
Some of them, after growing stronger, gradually became more independent from their original ethnic groups.
Just like the Hang family of Hangjiabao, they are actually also a Muyi clan, but now that they are powerful, they are no longer so receptive to the top leaders of the Muyi clan.
So when he heard about the saint, he felt very strange and asked subconsciously.
But the way everyone looked at him was as if he had asked some strange question.
Zhao Xin couldn't help but frown slightly, "Why, is the question Zhao asked strange?"
"Oh no."
Qian Kong smiled slightly and said, "We all just thought that Zhao Jun already knew it, but it's not surprising that Zhao Jun asked this question.
In fact, there was no saint in Qingyun Cave.
The reason why we now have such a saintly woman is because of the current King of Qi."
Zhao Xin was slightly stunned when he heard this. He probably understood something in his heart and also understood why the old soldier didn't say anything at the post station last night.
It was probably because this saint lady was the tool used by the King of Qi to control Qingyun Cave. Or perhaps in the old soldier's time, there was no such saint lady in Qingyun Cave.
Perhaps the old soldier didn't take this so-called saint seriously, so he didn't mention it.
"If that's the case, then what's so strange about this Saint appearing at the Crown Prince's banquet?"
Zhao Xin frowned again and asked.
A puppet and tool supported by the King of Qi. Now that the prince has come to Dahuang City and is holding a banquet, how can she not attend?
After hearing what he said, Qian Kong smiled strangely again and said, "Mr. Zhao probably still has some misunderstandings about Her Highness the Saint. Her Highness the Saint is not as simple as Mr. Zhao thinks."
"Oh, but why is it not simple?"
Zhao Xin asked with some surprise.
"This Saint Lady is indeed extraordinary."
This time it was not Qian Kong who spoke up, but the loudmouthed prince Zhao Wan.
This person seemed to be very interested in talking about beautiful women. With a twinkle in his eyes, he said, "I'm not here to say anything bad about my uncle, the Prince of Qi, but I'm afraid that my uncle, the Prince of Qi, is not that fond of this saint girl right now."
Then this person once again displayed his outspoken nature and narrated the whole story from beginning to end.
Only then did Zhao Xin know.
Yun Panpan, the Holy Maiden of Qingyun Cave, is called a Holy Maiden, but she is actually almost thirty years old.
It was nearly ten years ago that she was nominated as a saint by the King of Qi.
At the beginning, I was indeed a tool.
But a few years later, this Saint Lady not only took direct control of Qingyun Cave with her superb skills, but also led Qingyun Cave to become the leader of the three forces among the natives.
And his reputation among all the natives was unparalleled.
Because this saint has now completely stood on the side of the natives.
For the King of Qi, it was not just a matter of being out of his control. Even the entire indigenous force was beginning to slip out of his control.
It has become increasingly difficult for the King of Qi to draw strength from the natives recently.
It is said that the King of Qi tried to kill this saint several times, but failed every time.
In the end, King Qi was forced to support the Muyi Clan and Hangjiabao in order to compete with Qingyun Cave.
However, although the other two forces had the support of King Qi, they were still suppressed by Qingyun Cave in recent years and could hardly rise up.
Even on the surface, they had to welcome this saint together.
The more Zhao Xin listened, the more surprised he became.
No wonder everyone had meaningful expressions when talking about this saint.
However, Zhao Wan said that the King of Qi was deeply regretful at this time.
If everything is really as everyone says, then the King of Qi is probably not just regretting it now.
I'm afraid they're regretting it so much.
But this kind of thing is not uncommon.
This kind of spokesperson-style control tactic, which ultimately backfires, is common in the history of this world, the Chinese world, and the history of ancient and modern China and the world.
Even in the 21st century, certain superpowers often make mistakes.
However, Zhao Xin did not care about the King of Qi's current mood.
What he cared about was that everyone's words gave him a clue, or a point of entry.
After Zhao Wan finished speaking, he looked at Qian Kong and said, "Mr. Qian, you've been talking for a long time, but other than helping Mr. Zhao resolve his doubts, it seems to have nothing to do with what we are discussing."
Qian Kong chuckled and said modestly, "Whether it's related or not depends on your judgment. I'm just providing this information to stimulate discussion.
Now it’s your turn.”
Zhao Wan frowned slightly upon hearing this, then grinned and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll also provide some information. My information is also very simple.
Just when we came here, we received a message that someone sent a letter to Lang Qianhu of the Crown Prince's headquarters. The letter said that he had discovered that our emperor's favorite minister, the eunuch Cao Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the East Factory, appeared in Dahuang City.
What do you think, everyone? Is this information of mine more useful than Mr. Qian's Saint Lady?"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of Nan Luoying and others beside Zhao Xin couldn't help but change slightly.
But Zhao Xin was not moved at all.
On the other side, Qian Kong and others also looked moved.
"The eunuch who is in charge of the East Factory, does that mean the Emperor wants to get involved too?"
Someone frowned.
Zhao Xin chuckled and said, "What's so strange about this? To be honest, I'm here on behalf of the current emperor."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone, including Nan Luoying and others beside him, changed.
They never expected that Zhao Xin would actually say it directly.
Zhao Xin, however, glanced at the crowd nonchalantly and said, "Emperor Yu's treasure, is there anyone more qualified to possess it than the Son of Heaven?"
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
Even Jiang Gonglan couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhao Wan smiled faintly, "So, how can we cooperate?"
Others couldn't help but show a hint of hostility.
After all, except for Jiang Gonglan, most of the parties present were rebel kings.
