Even the people in the government office, and even Yun Kai and his group, --
Looking at the dense crowds of Miao people on both sides of the riverbank, it would be a lie to say they weren't worried, given that they didn't know what was going on.
But when the time actually arrived, the scene before my eyes was enough to send chills down my spine.
The Blue Miao branch, comprising men, women, young and old, numbering over 30,000.
At this moment, the thousands of people here are all strong Miao people and grass ghosts.
"Tan County, this—"
"What are you trying to do! Hasn't Prince Mu already returned?"
"Yes, even if there are some internal conflicts within Lanmiao, it shouldn't warrant a mass brawl involving thousands of people."
The first reaction of the people from the county government was that there was going to be a fight within the Lanmiao clan.
Yun Kai glanced at the dozen or so men he had brought. Although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, he was thinking to himself—
If they really start fighting, forget about trying to break it up; you'd better stay far away.
Otherwise, the Miao people would surely turn them into rice cakes.
Tanxian tried calling Achen, but there was no signal.
They sent someone to inform Ah Chen, but the Miao people ignored them, let alone let them get in.
Fortunately, at that moment, Lan Miao, Zhao Akang's wife, Shen Weixun, passed by from the side, and Yun Kai hurriedly called out to her.
"Director Shen, --"
Shen Weixun is now the deputy director of a department in the county government, promoted by County Magistrate Tan.
Even Yun Kai, upon seeing him, had to address him as "Director".
Who could blame Shen Weixun for finding her man, Zhao Akang, one of the eight notorious wolves of the Miao people?
Moreover, Zhao Akang was a confidant of the future Miao King.
Shen Weixun, who had been stopped, greeted them politely, and after listening to Yun Kai and Tan County's words, he said:
“County Chief Tan, Lan Miao isn’t fighting. It seems like they’re discussing something. I don’t know what they’re discussing. How about this, I’ll go over and ask them right away?”
"Go quickly and tell Ah Chen that I'm here and he can come to me if he needs anything."
"Please wait a moment, Magistrate Tan, I'll be right there—"
Ten minutes later, Zhao Akang arrived and invited County Tan over.
However, they couldn't get close to where Achen and the others were, because Achen was making arrangements for the chief of the Blue Miao village, Shengtang Jiangya, Yang Ayao, and the others.
"Zhao Akang, what exactly are Achen and the others discussing over here?"
Tan County was not so afraid of A Kang, one of the Eight Jackals, after all, he was just a jackal, not A Chen.
But A-Kang said, "Please forgive us, County Magistrate Tan. The Miao people have not done anything illegal. It was just some internal discussion. So please forgive us."
"A-Kang--"
Shen Weixun was worried that her man would offend County Tan, so she quietly tugged at him.
"That jackal A-Kang has quite a temper!" Tan Xian looked at Zhao A-Kang, his words implying that he was somewhat displeased.
Just then, someone shouted from the riverbank: "Zhao Akang, what do you have to talk to the county officials about? Hurry up and come over to assign tasks."
"They're here!"
Ah Kang ran away.
Tan Xian glanced at Shen Weixun beside him and asked, "Did the couple have a fight?"
"I'm sorry, County Chief Tan, Zhao Akang—"
"No need to explain, Zhao Akang is right." Tan County waved his hand.
Not long after--
The Miao people in the surrounding area got busy in an orderly manner, and it was at this time that Achen arrived.
As soon as Tan Xian saw him, he rushed over.
"Young master, over here—"
Ah Chen squatted down by the ditch to the side and washed his hands clean before standing up and saying, "Tan County, don't worry! The Miao people are just making some precautionary arrangements."
"This way, please!"
On the other side of the riverbank.
Looking at the sea of Miao people, Tan Xian said to Achen, "Achen, no matter what arrangements are made, the commotion on the Miao side is too great."
“It won’t be good if it’s not big, Tan County, it’s unavoidable.”
"What exactly happened? I heard you've been traveling around to various Miao villages these past few days. Can you tell me? Perhaps the county government can help!"
“County Magistrate Tan, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but even if I did, you wouldn’t believe me. However—”
Ah Chen glanced at Yun Kai and the others behind Tan Xian and said, "In the coming months, my Miao family will be bringing in all sorts of supplies from outside, and we'll even be active in various counties in eastern Guizhou—"
"If you have time, please give a heads-up to the other counties for me. Otherwise, if the Miao army goes there and the local county government makes a mess of things, it won't be good if something unexpected happens."
Upon hearing this, Tan Xian's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't heard of anyone causing trouble for the Miao family!
But Miao Jun's move was, after all, a major event.
So he quickly asked, "What supplies are being brought in?"
"Please wait a moment, County Magistrate Tan--"
Ah Chen waved to Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao beside him, then took the list from their hands and said to Tan County:
"Currently, we need to purchase 300 tons of rice, which is 600,000 jin."
"What? Three hundred tons of rice, Ah Chen, what are you trying to do?" Tan County was shocked.
Six hundred thousand catties of rice is no small amount.
But Ah Chen smiled and said, "County Chief Tan, don't get excited! Write this down; you'll have to pay Sheng Tang back this money later."
"No! Ah Chen, what are you talking about?"
"Tan County will know by June next year!"
Ah Chen said, "The initial purchase includes 300 tons of rice and 300 pigs and 300 cattle."
"Some vegetables, which can be bought from the locals."
"However, waterproof bags should be prepared."
"Most importantly, we need all kinds of disinfectants, such as alcohol and lime. We need as much as we can, and we can only have more, not less."
"In addition, there are various medicines, masks, water shoes, raincoats, flashlights and other emergency tools."
