"Brother Lu, Bishui City is ahead of us. Do we want to enter the city... Huh? Why are there so many Miao people guarding the city gate?"
Galloping all the way, Lu Hanjiang and his party arrived at the Miao border as quickly as possible. Outside Bishui City, Gongsun Cheng saw many Miao people holding weapons at the city gate, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Although Bishui City is the gateway to Miao land, this place is still under the rule of the imperial court. At this moment, it is actually guarded by the Miao people, which is strange enough in itself.
"The situation here is special, please don't doubt me, dear brother, let's go into the city."
There was no surprise on Lu Hanjiang's face. The Xiangyun Company had already paid off. They needed to fully control the city to prevent people who suddenly went crazy from escaping. In addition, the identity of Jin Yiwei could not be exposed, so some Miao people were recruited for city defense work.
Deploy.
These Miao people are also elites of various ethnic groups. There happened to be riots everywhere in the Miao land. Many Miao people simply moved to Bishui City temporarily. Xiangyun Company could make the best use of their resources.
As Lu Hanjiang approached, the Miao people stepped forward to stop him. One of them looked at him seriously and said, "Your Excellency...are you the leader of the Beggar Clan? Please stop. There is a guard order and no outsiders are allowed in."
When the man saw the dog-beating stick on Lu Hanjiang's waist, he immediately stopped him with a serious expression. Judging from the lines on his clothes, he knew that this Miao was a member of the Lingyue tribe.
The Beggar Clan and the Lingyue Clan had a long-standing grudge. Yan Fengyun had been fighting each other for several months in Miao Di. It could be said that the enemies on both sides were extremely jealous when they met.
Although later after Lu Shiqi came to power, he slowly repaired the relationship with Miao Jiang. The first thing he did was to admit all the blame, and then put all the blame on the dead Yan Fengyun.
In this way, although the Miao people have grievances, the Beggar Clan has a good attitude towards admitting their mistakes. In addition, Yan Fengyun, the core of the conflict, is also dead. Death is like a lamp going out, and past grievances will disappear with the wind.
But whether everyone recognizes this principle or not is another matter.
At least for the Miao people of the Lingyue tribe, the beggar gang is still an unwelcome guest.
The matter was urgent, so Lu Hanjiang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and directly showed Xiangyun Company's token: "I was invited by Xiangyun Company to come here."
At this moment, people from Xiangyun Trading Company also arrived, all of them from Jinyiwei. They immediately stepped forward to welcome Lu Hanjiang and his entourage into the city.
Gongsun Cheng and others were obviously extremely surprised. They never expected that Lu Shiqi would have such a relationship with the Xiangyun Trading Company in Miaodi. It seems that the power of this beggar gang is much more complicated than it appears.
Of course, these can only temporarily fool these young people. In the eyes of Lao Jianghu, it is naturally full of loopholes, such as the great elder Miao Jiang.
"Master Lu, it's been a long time..."
We haven't seen him for a long time, and the great elder of Miao Jiang looks a little older than before. Perhaps the chaos in Miao land these days has made her a little unable to cope with it.
The First Elder looked at Lu Hanjiang with a complicated face and said, "Lu Eleven, Lu Seventeen...I really don't understand which one is your true identity. I heard that the newly appointed Jin Yiwei Zhenfu
, also named Lu."
"The name is just a code name. If the Great Elder wants to, you can call me whatever you want."
Lu Hanjiang said calmly and honestly: "To be fair to the elder, I have some connections with Mr. Lu. He and I are both from the Lu family. Does this make sense to the elder?"
"I understand," the elder sighed softly and said, "I will not interfere with the affairs of the Jin Yiwei and the court, but how did you become the leader of the Beggar Clan?"
Lu Hanjiang stood with his hands behind his hands and pretended to be profound: "Old Gang Leader Liang is a person who understands the general situation. I explained the interests and risks to him. For the future of the Beggar Gang, he chose to take a gamble on me."
"It's like this. I didn't expect that Mr. Liang's stubborn donkey-like temper would be influenced by you. It's really surprising..."
The Great Elder did not doubt this. After all, Liang Benlang's image of strong martial arts was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one would have thought that Jin Yiwei and Lu Hanjiang could occupy the magpie's nest silently...except the prince.
The exception is the concubine.
Having said that, this is also the matter of other families, and the great elder does not take it seriously.
Since she has made up her mind to cooperate with the Xiaoyao Sect, she will naturally stand on Jin Yiwei's side.
The First Elder just lamented how time flies, and the worries about old friends and past events were quickly left behind. The most important thing at the moment was Miao Jiang.
"The Miao land is in chaos, and we need to ask adults to help." The elder solemnly requested Lu Hanjiang.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. This is exactly why I am here."
Lu Hanjiang held up a hand and asked in a deep voice: "The letters come and go, but I can't understand anything. I came here in a hurry. I still don't know what is going on here. Please tell me directly, Great Elder."
"well."
The great elder sighed quietly, tapped the ground with his crutch, and said regretfully: "Everything was caused by greed. Ignorant fanatics like us are trying to be smart, and this has led to today's tragedy."
Lu Hanjiang frowned: "How do you say this?"
The great elder sighed and explained everything in detail: "Everything must start from the Valley of Farewell. After the death of Baiduweng, that valley became empty. Because it is not far from my clan, some members of the clan
People want to capture this valley so that it can be used to grow medicinal materials and protect Gu insects in the future."
Lu Hanjiang listened and said in confusion: "Farewell Valley is located in a mountain with inconvenient transportation. It is useless for the court to bring it. Besides, the court has already made it clear that the Miao people can make decisions on the land of Miao land. I don't know why this is such a small matter.
of."
"If it's just a valley, that's no big deal, but the problem is, that valley is really special."
The First Elder sighed in annoyance again, looked at Lu Hanjiang and said, "Young Master Lu probably doesn't know that the Hundred Poison Man is actually an expert in formations besides using poison."
"Oh? Is this happening?" Lu Hanjiang was not very surprised by this. After all, after knowing that Baiduweng was also from the Xiaoyao sect, he was not surprised at how many abilities this old man had.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Having said this, the Great Elder lowered his eyes, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and said rather amusingly: "Everyone in the world thinks that Hundred Poison is best at using poison.
, but that’s not the case, what I’m best at is actually formations.”
It is also emotional to say that in the eyes of the world, from the strange doctor who cures diseases and saves people to the murderer, Hundreds of Poisons, his abilities are all reflected in his medical skills and poisonous skills. Whether he is a friend or an enemy, everyone thinks
This is his ability to settle down and make a living.
But in fact, the medical skills and poisonous ways are just a small path that Baiduweng has nothing to do in his spare time. His real special skill is actually the formation. Even if he is not unprecedented, he is close to the unprecedented level.
"So, he is indeed a powerful person." Lu Hanjiang clicked his tongue and shook his head.
The Great Elder slowly recalled: "Speaking of which, the name of the Dead Farewell Valley was given by Bai Duo Weng. Decades ago, the valley was filled with miasma, and ordinary people could not even get close. It was he who opened up the valley.
We established a passage into the valley and used formations to control the miasma from leaking out. Only then did this valley truly appear in the eyes of the world."
Speaking of this, the great elder was silent for a while, and then said: "It is said that the people in the past planted trees for the people to enjoy the shade, and Bai Du Weng has no connection with my Lingyue clan. Maybe the people in our clan are too greedy and never thought of it.
, the formation set up by Hundred Poisonous Old Man actually failed."
"The Great Elder said so. Could it be that the commotion in Miao Land this time was caused by the leakage of miasma in the valley? How come the formation is so...wait a minute, what formation is it?"
When Lu Hanjiang said this, he suddenly paused. His heart skipped a beat. Long-standing memories came to his mind, and an inaccurate guess emerged in his mind.
