The provincial governor issued a series of orders, saying that the military and police could enter, but as long as the Miao people abided by the law, they were not allowed to interfere in any matters that occurred in Miao customs.
The provincial governor and Elder Ji from Yanjing were also awakened by the deafening drumbeats.
At this moment, they stood at the entrance of the courtyard of Mu Achen's new house on the mountaintop, gazing into the distance.
Night was falling, and torches were everywhere, gathering towards Que Dong Village.
"Your Excellency, such a scene would be unbelievable if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!" Elder Ji exclaimed earnestly.
The provincial governor nodded slightly, “The records in the history books are just cold words, but the Miao people’s 108 war drums have not been sounded for more than two hundred years!”

The provincial governor stayed behind for two reasons, firstly because he was worried that the Miao family's current formation might encounter unexpected problems.
Secondly, he also wanted to meet Mu Achen from the Black Miao branch.
Such a young boy has alarmed the high-ranking officials in Yanjing!
