Chapter 189 Covenant
The last sentence made the fire of ambition in Miao Yue's eyes burn brighter and brighter. But she was not a fool, and it was impossible for her to believe other people's lies easily.
But it doesn't matter. Jiang Wan has mastered the eloquence skills passed down from generation to generation in the Xu family.
"Miao Yue, you've managed to stay married at this age. I really have to admire your tenacity. You know what you want, and I know it too.
Don't think that what you insist on is wrong. In fact, you are not wrong at all! You have the determination and the ability. You are much better than your eldest brother. You are more suitable to be the clan leader.
Your father is old now, and he no longer has great ambitions. He is probably very happy that he can still lead his people to survive like this.
But are you willing to live like this?
Do you really want to continue to make your people live in fear and suffer every moment?"
"I don't want to!"
Miao Yue retorted subconsciously, her eyes full of unwilling anger and helplessness.
“But what can I do?
Just like you said, my people are weak and can be bullied by everyone! Even if I try my best to resist, I can only think of using myself to pay off the debt.
I don't even have the courage to break up with others!"
There was a tremor in her voice.
"Jiang Wan, you're really smart. I admit that I was moved by what you said, but I really have no choice.
Although my clan isn't as patriarchal as Dayu, we do have far fewer true female clan leaders than male ones. You can see that I'm more formidable than my eldest brother, both in terms of fighting and intelligence. But because I'm a woman, I'm completely dominated by him!
I don’t accept it, but I still have no choice.”
"How could there not be? You couldn't do it before because you didn't meet me. If you had met me earlier, you would have been the young patriarch long ago."
Jiang Wan's smile was bright and charming.
"Listen to me, beautiful sister, just like I suggested just now, our cooperation will be a win-win situation.
You must find a way to convince your father and the tribe to produce the Baibao Pill. You provide the master, I will provide the apprentice; you provide the food, I will provide the medicinal materials; you provide the Baibao Pill, I will provide the trade route.
I am sure that with just this method, we can definitely change the current situation of your tribe!
When the time comes, you will have money and food. Are you still worried that you can't win the position of young patriarch? Once you ascend to the position of young patriarch, how far will you be from the position of patriarch?
Miao Yue, do you dare to give it a try?
You are such an outstanding talent, why are you buried in this dark night? You should be standing on a high place, leading your people to a better life! "
The essence of toxic chicken soup is that even though you clearly suspect that the other party is bragging, you will always be subconsciously confused by the flattery.
The ancient young lady, who had never seen or eaten anything proper, fell into the trap hesitantly and in a daze.
"Can I?"
"Of course! If someone as outstanding as you can't do it, then how can your elder brother, that reckless man, do it?
Think about it carefully. It's already difficult for a small tribe like yours to survive in the cracks between the three kingdoms. With your eldest brother's intelligence, can he handle it if he becomes the tribe leader?
"Will one day, if you're not careful, you'll take your entire clan, young and old, to their deaths? Don't you know what's happening to your own brother? Think about whether what I said makes sense."
"Yes! You're right!"
Miao Yue, who was already feeling very nervous, hit it off with Jiang Wan, who had ulterior motives, and was finally successfully persuaded by the other party.
"Can you be the master of His Royal Highness Prince Qi?"
"It's a must."
"If I join forces with you, can you really guarantee that you will continue to protect our safety in the future?"
"You and I have become partners, which means we are bound together by a bond of interest. Even if I don't want to help you anymore, my people will still find a way to sell herbs to you. They can't agree not to help you!"
Perhaps it was the overly confident look on Jiang Wan's face that finally forced Miao Yue to close her eyes. After a long moment, she reached out her hand, trembling slightly, and opened her eyes.
"Gods above, you and I have made a covenant today. Jiang Wan, if you dare to deceive me, then even as a ghost, I, Miao Yue, will haunt you and make you suffer in perpetuity!"
Jiang Wan also extended his hand.
"Gods above, you and I have signed a covenant today. Cooperation is a win-win situation, with shared benefits. As long as you don't break this oath, I will definitely abide by it. If you break this oath, I will never have peace in my life."
"make a deal!"
Both sides high-fived three times.
Everything is settled.
Early the next morning, Li Chengxiu and his men counted the things they had exchanged from Lao Miao, said goodbye politely, and prepared to return home.
On the other side, his wife was inseparable from a group of young girls.
"Princess, when will you come to play again?"
"Next time I have the chance, I will definitely come. I already told Miao Yue about it yesterday. If you don't believe me, just ask her."
"You must remember to come. I have decided to learn the whip technique well in the future. Next time you come, I will learn a few moves from you."
"good."
"Alright, alright, go do whatever you need to do. I want to have a few more words with Princess Qi."
After pushing the others aside, Miao Yue looked at Jiang Wan with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a beautiful handkerchief and handed it to him.
"Yesterday I saw your hands were dirty and I made one for you overnight. Take it. You can wipe your sweat and hands on the way."
The other person looked sincere, and Jiang Wan twitched his lips.
"I am a woman, but I like men."
"What's the meaning?"
Miao Yue frowned in confusion. Jiang Wan took a step back and looked at her speechlessly.
"Although I'm new here, I've heard Li Chengxiu talk about some of the rules here. Can you just give handkerchiefs away casually? Look carefully, I'm a woman too!"
Having her thoughts exposed, Miao Yue blinked a few times in embarrassment and disappointment.
"Don't think too much about it. I don't mean any harm. I just saw that your handkerchief was dirty yesterday, so I wanted you to have something to wipe your sweaty hands on while walking. It's really okay if you take it. It's just an ordinary thing. I didn't embroider my name on it."
"Then my wife doesn't want it either!"
Li Chengxiu just strolled over and saw that Miao Laowu, that bastard, was trying to steal his girlfriend. He was instantly furious! If his wife hadn't explained everything clearly last night, he would have wanted to deal with Miao Laowu yesterday!
He reached out and pulled his wife onto the horse, and the couple rode together intimately. This petty man still scorned Miao Yue and threw a contemptuous look at her before turning around and waving to the Miao leader.
"Lao Miao, I'm leaving now. Next time you need help, just let me know. We're old friends, so we can discuss anything!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince of Qi! I respectfully send you off, Prince of Qi and Princess Qi! And all the nobles, have a safe journey!"
"Okay, see you later."
Li Chengxiu tightened the reins and whipped the horse.
"drive!"
