There was no need for Luo Jinyan and Zeng Wei to come to the door. People from the Qiu Ci Department came to the door in person early the next morning.
The young patriarch of the Qiu Ci tribe is a young man in his twenties. He has dark skin unique to southern Xinjiang people, but he is tall and erect.
Unlike the clansmen following him, the young clan leader seemed very peaceful and did not glare at Luo Jinyan because he caught his own sister.
Luo Jinyan naturally knew that this young patriarch was said to have traveled to the Central Plains when he was young. Not only could he speak the Central Plains dialect, but he also had a good understanding of the rules, etiquette and culture of the Central Plains.
"Lord Luo." When he saw Luo Jinyan, he held his hands in greeting and said, "My little sister is ignorant and has offended Lord Luo and Lord Zeng. Please forgive her this time for the sake of her losing her father at a young age."
Luo Jinyan had no intention of embarrassing the girl, otherwise he would have killed her yesterday.
That girl was obviously being taken advantage of, and Luo Jinyan had no reason to completely sever the relationship between Da Sheng and Qiu Ci because of a brainless girl.
But that was the plan, but what Luo Jinyan said was not polite, "Your sister broke into the palace of a court official at night with the intention of assassinating her. Does the young patriarch think it is just rude?"
As soon as these words came out, the clan members following Qiu Cishao couldn't hold it any longer.
As for the death of the clan leader, every piece of evidence points to Zeng Wei.
The young patriarch was under great pressure to deal with him, but now the Dasheng people have this attitude. How can this make them feel comfortable?
One of the young men stood up and said angrily: "So what if the eldest lady broke into the Xuanwei Envoy's Mansion? Our clan leader died so miserably, it has something to do with the man named Zeng! If the eldest lady was not eager for revenge, why would she come here?
?”
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly: "Zeng Wei is an official of the imperial court, and Southern Xinjiang is a territory of Dasheng. You didn't even find out what happened, so you broke into the Xuanwei Envoy's Mansion at night and assassinated the official of the imperial court. What? You want to rebel?"
After hearing this, everyone became even more excited.
Several Qiu Ci clan members had angry looks on their faces. If the young clan leader hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed up to argue with Luo Jinyan.
The young patriarch gave a helpless smile and asked everyone to shut up in a deep voice.
Then he turned around and bowed to Luo Jinyan, saying: "Master Luo, this matter is my fault. Please consider her youth and ignorance and be lenient. If there is any punishment, I am willing to punish her."
bear."
"Young clan leader!" several clan members exclaimed in unison.
Seeing this, Luo Jinyan's expression softened a bit.
He looked at the young man in front of him and said: "Young Patriarch, it is Luo who is making things difficult for you. This is the Xuan Comfort Envoy's Mansion, and Mr. Zeng is the Xuan Comfort Envoy appointed by the imperial court. His life and death are not only his own business, but also his own.
It is related to the majesty of the imperial court."
"I understand." The young patriarch said.
It was precisely because he understood that he firmly defended Zeng Wei. Otherwise, with his status and current situation, how could he defend a person suspected of killing his father?
The young patriarch has traveled to the Central Plains for many years, and he understands the Central Plains and the Dasheng court better than the average Southern Xinjiang person. Although Dasheng has had no time to take care of Southern Xinjiang due to wars and frequent throne changes in recent years. But he also knows that as long as the court can relax
After a while, Southern Xinjiang has no ability to fight against it.
This has been the case for thousands of years. When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, Southern Xinjiang surrendered to the imperial court. Once the Central Plains dynasty weakened, Southern Xinjiang intended to establish itself as a king and then go through the next reincarnation.
For the dignitaries in southern Xinjiang who are involved in the situation, they may be completing what they consider to be a grand hegemony. But for ordinary people in southern Xinjiang, it is just a recurring disaster.
The young patriarch is not optimistic about the independence of southern Xinjiang.
From ancient times to the present, the control of the Central Plains Dynasty over southern Xinjiang has become stronger in modern times. The rejection of the Central Plains people by the people of southern Xinjiang has become weaker. As long as this continues, maybe in another hundred or two hundred years, southern Xinjiang will be completely integrated into the Central Plains Dynasty.
.
This is not a bad thing for ordinary people in southern Xinjiang, but it is not good news for the powerful clan leaders in southern Xinjiang.
And this is also an irreversible trend.
Even if the Dasheng Dynasty falls, there will be the next Central Plains Dynasty to continue to complete this matter.
In this case, why did you take the initiative to provoke a war with the Central Plains?
At least in the past hundred years, the imperial court refused to accept and took the initiative to change the pattern of southern Xinjiang.
But if the various tribes in southern Xinjiang want to commit suicide, that may not be the case.
The young patriarch's thoughts are difficult to understand by everyone in southern Xinjiang, including his own clan.
In their opinion, his idea was too cowardly and lost the blood of a southern Xinjiang man.
In response to this, the young patriarch could only smile helplessly.
He himself cannot deny these accusations, maybe he is really too cowardly.
If he is a bloody young clan leader, he should, regardless of success or failure, try his best to lead the clan like the ancestors of Southern Xinjiang before, first conquer the entire Southern Xinjiang, and then lead the Southern Xinjiang warriors across the border to plunder more fertile land.
.
But, he can't do it.
Looking at those ancient records, he didn't have any soul-stirring heroic spirit at all.
All I saw was a sense of helplessness, as if trapped in an endless reincarnation.
Luo Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young patriarch. Although he knew a lot about Southern Xinjiang, he was not in Southern Xinjiang after all. This was the first time he met the young patriarch.
Luo Jinyan could clearly feel that this young patriarch was different from most people in southern Xinjiang.
"Young patriarch, please sit down and talk." After pondering for a moment, Luo Jinyan said in a deep voice.
The young clan leader signaled the clan members to step back. Under the unwilling looks of several people, he walked over to Luo Jinyan and sat down.
Luo Jinyan said: "Young patriarch, does he know why your sister suddenly came to assassinate Mr. Zeng?"
The young patriarch said helplessly: "My little sister is young and has listened to some... slanderous words."
"I'm afraid it's not just some slander, right?" Luo Jinyan put down his tea cup and said, "Some of those who followed the young patriarch just now are credible."
The young patriarch didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he raised his head and took a deep look at Luo Jinyan and said, "Master Luo has a good eye, but the current situation of the patriarch is really not good. In addition to being here because of my little sister, I also have some things I want to tell Master Zeng.
.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zeng Wei nodded towards him, and the young patriarch naturally understood what Zeng Wei meant.
Now Luo Jinyan is in charge of everything in the Xuanwei Embassy.
"The current situation in the clan actually has little to do with me protecting Mr. Zeng." The young clan leader said: "After my father passed away, the clan became very uneasy. Several elders who were originally very peaceful suddenly got into trouble and demanded to be killed immediately.
Mr. Zeng, avenge your father."
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and he said that it had nothing to do with Zeng Wei?
The young patriarch shook his head and said: "I originally thought they were just trying to avenge my father, but in the past two days I have seen clearly that they are not trying to find my father's murderer and bring him to justice. Instead, they want to... kill the imperial court in a big way.
The propaganda envoy stationed in southern Xinjiang used the excuse of my passive attitude and unwillingness to avenge my father to seize control of the Qiu Ci tribe."
If they just want to seize power, he might be able to bear it, but these people obviously don't just want the power of Qiu Cibu.
"Nowadays, the people in the clan are very excited, and the young people are so excited that they can't listen to any explanation at all."
The young patriarch sighed: "I chose to believe Mr. Zeng at the beginning, just because I saw that the situation was not right at that time. If I didn't come forward to suppress it, the people from Qiu Ci's tribe would really rush into the Xuanwei Ambassador's Mansion and kill people."
By then, the situation will be truly irreversible.
He came forward to defend Zeng Wei, and at least he could delay it for a few days, even if Zeng Wei managed to leave southern Xinjiang first.
However, he did not expect that Zeng Wei did not leave Southern Xinjiang, but Luo Jinyan came instead.
Luo Jinyan also understood what he meant, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Young Patriarch for your righteousness."
The young patriarch shook his head and said: "I can't talk about justice, I just... don't want southern Xinjiang to fall into the flames of war."
Luo Jinyan was thoughtful and said slowly: "But now, it is obvious that someone wants to drag Southern Xinjiang into the war." However, Southern Xinjiang is still in disarray. The troops and horses hidden in Southern Xinjiang by the Luan Yi Division in the past two years were also completely destroyed by the imperial court.
If we win, the tribes in southern Xinjiang will never be able to pose a threat to Da Sheng if they cannot work together as one.
In the past two years, Marquis Lingchuan wiped out the remnants of Luanyi Division in southern Xinjiang. Marquis Lingchuan's abilities and methods also made the people of Southern Xinjiang quite fearful.
Similarly, there are many tribes in southern Xinjiang who are secretly colluding with Luan Yisi. Marquis Lingchuan is not unaware of this, but he just wants to stabilize the situation in southern Xinjiang and avoid getting into trouble.
"Since my little sister has offended your lord, why should she be taught a lesson?" The young patriarch said, "I'm just asking you, Lord Luo, to spare her life."
The implication is that he is not forcing Luo Jinyan to let his sister go.
Luo Jinyan said: "Young patriarch, don't worry, as long as your sister doesn't do anything wrong in the future, the imperial court will ensure her safety."
The young patriarch was startled and looked at Luo Jinyan in surprise.
"Thank you, sir."
Luo Jinyan said: "Since the situation in the Qiu Ci clan is out of control, I wonder if the young clan leader would like to listen to my suggestions?"
While Luo Jinyan was talking to the young patriarch, in another splendidly decorated mansion in Zhaoyun City, several people were sitting in the room discussing matters. The room was a little dark, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
"Young patriarch went to see Luo Jinyan, will something happen?" One of the men with a short beard asked worriedly.
Another person disagreed and said: "What can happen? The young patriarch wants to hook up with the Central Plains people, but we are not forcing him. Sooner or later, he will have to give up the position of the patriarch. I say that the old patriarch should not have chosen it in the first place.
He becomes the young patriarch!"
The two people next to him also agreed in unison, "Yes, the old patriarch is partial to him and insists on making him the young patriarch. But he doesn't even look at what he has learned from the people of the Central Plains? Without any backbone or blood, we Qiu
I don’t know why Ci was secretly laughed at by Furukawa and the people from the Hongshan tribe.
For a tribe, if the future leader is not tough enough, it is a very shameful thing in itself.
"You can't say that." The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat finally spoke up and said in a deep voice: "Luo Jinyan is different from Zeng Wei. Once he intervenes, things will probably not be easy to handle."
"What's the difference? Isn't he just an official from the Central Plains? I heard that Luo Jinyan has a pretty face. I don't know how many days he can live in a place like southern Xinjiang."
The middle-aged man glanced at the speaker, and a scornful dark light flashed across his eyes, and he said: "The pretty boy you are talking about was once a young marshal of the Dasheng Dingguo Army. He was also a general with great military exploits, and now he still has something in his hands.
He holds the military power of Huaining and Ningzhou."
Hearing this, the man also stopped talking, and the room became quiet.
After a while, someone finally said impatiently: "Then what should we do? Is this the end of it? Regardless of whether the old patriarch was harmed by Zeng or not, now the whole world knows about it. If we just let it go,
How do the various tribes and tribesmen in southern Xinjiang view us?"
"Who said we should forget it?" the middle-aged man raised his eyes and asked.
Everyone looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said: "Since the young patriarch is not willing to lead us to avenge the patriarch, then let's find someone who is willing. Then we will go directly to Luo Jinyan. If he still protects Zeng Wei, don't blame us.
You're welcome! We have given the court some face, but our men from the Qiu Ci Department cannot be looked down upon."
Everyone exchanged a few looks with each other, and after a while someone said: "The young patriarch is weak in character and is really not suitable for the position of patriarch. Let's go back and ask the elder to hold a clan meeting to discuss this."
Nowadays, the young patriarch's reputation in the clan is not high, so it is not difficult for them to achieve their goals.
If it weren't for the oppression of the elders, they might have driven the young patriarch from his position long ago.
The middle-aged man listened to everyone's discussion and lowered his eyes to hide the pride and joy in his eyes.
Outside the door, a gray shadow passed by silently, without alerting the guards outside the door at all.
"Your Majesty, Princess." Qu Tiange opened the door and walked in from the outside. Two years have not changed Qu Tiange's appearance at all, but his eyebrows have become a little more determined and sharp.
Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were sitting in the study drinking tea. When Qu Tiange came in, he immediately greeted him: "Master Qu is back? Come sit down and have a cup of tea."
While talking, Luo Junyao had already poured tea for Qu Tiange.
"The climate in southern Xinjiang is really terrible. Fortunately, I brought a lot of herbal tea prepared by Qin Yao'er when I went out."
Xie Yan said: "If you bring Qin Yao'er with you, you can make fresh herbal tea with her."
Luo Junyao smiled at him and said, "Yao'er is not willing to go out with us, do you blame me?"
Qin Yao'er refused to go out with them, wasn't it because she was afraid of Xie Yan?
But Luo Junyao was not worried. She felt that she would still see Qin Yaoer before long.
Qin Yao'er couldn't sit still. She got bored staying in Shangyong and would definitely run outside.
After Qu Tiange sat down and took a few sips of tea, Xie Yan asked: "How is the situation?"
Qu Tiange said: "The Guhe Tribe is standing still, the new leader of the Hongshan Tribe is a puppet, and Setu seems to be still waiting for news from Lord Luo. Over at the Qiu Ci Tribe... several elders of the tribe and the old patriarch's brothers are planning to deprive the young patriarch of the tribe.
power, another clan leader will be elected."
Luo Junyao said: "It seems that the situation is not as urgent as we thought."
Xie Yan lowered his eyes and said: "Those people couldn't figure out Jin Yan's trump card, so they didn't dare to move for a while, and they couldn't survive for a few days. In addition, even if Zeng Wei caused public outrage, if the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang didn't have an agreed leader,
It's just a piece of loose sand that can't stir up any waves."
Luo Jun shook his chin and said, "So, we don't show up now, and my eldest brother is also delaying to deal with it, is it because we are waiting for the person behind the scenes to show up?"
Xie Yan nodded and said softly: "Let's go to Qiu Ci Department and have a look."
"Why don't you go and tell eldest brother first?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan said: "I hope these things can be dealt with. It is better for us to watch in the dark than in the light."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, since everyone is in southern Xinjiang, they will see each other eventually, and there is no rush.
