readx;?? That night, the two of them went into the village to rest under the arrangement of the Xishan Miao people, but the two were not arranged in a room, but two floors up and down a watchtower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Nature.2

The hospitality of the Miao people is also very warm, although Qi Ning is not suitable for the eating habits of the Miao family, but it can be regarded as full of food and drink.

Early the next morning, after the prepared breakfast, someone came over to invite Qi Ning and Eve to meet the King of Da Miao, Eve was in the Miao Village of Sheung Shui Cave last night, and only hoped that the sky would light up earlier, and he didn't sleep well at all, so he was summoned by King Da Miao, and immediately went to see King Da Miao with Qi Ning.

Last night on the mountain at night, Qi Ning didn't think, at this time look around, the breeze is gentle, the wooden building is like countless stars scattered on the mountain, and the road on the mountain is quite wide, enough to ride a horse and gallop, some places even build a wooden bridge to connect, there is a valley in the mountain, there is a lake, clear to the bottom, like a mirror, the mountains and forests are reflected in it, the lake and the mountains, the scenery is beautiful and abnormal.

In front of a big village, I saw more than 10 people waiting in front of the village, the first person was a pair of trousers, with a big belt around his waist, dressed very plainly, and his appearance looked quite thick, his flesh was like iron, although his figure was not tall, but he was very strong.

Today is when Eve wants to see King Da Miao, so Qi Ning just followed Eve and fell half of his body.

Knowing Eve's true identity, Qi Ning naturally attached more importance to the meeting between Eve's and the Great Miao King, and if he could take this opportunity to learn the truth about the Black Rock Cave incident, it would be really unwanted.

When Nadun Hou Miao Han saw Eve coming, he took a few steps forward and saluted: "I am Lang Chadulu, the eldest son of King Miao, and you are the sister of Ivory, the lord of the Black Rock Cave, Bayali?" ”

Eve returned the salute: "I am Eve, I ask to see King Da Miao." ”

Qi Ning glanced at Lang Chadulu a few times, although Lang Chadulu and Dandu Gu are brothers, but the two look quite different, compared to the majesty and arrogance of Dandu Gu, Lang Chadulu looks more calm, and the etiquette is more thoughtful.

Suddenly, a burst of music sounded, Qi Ning looked up, only to see in front of Dazhai, more than a dozen Miao family young people wearing Miao family short coats played the reed sheng, the voice was melodious and cheerful, full of joy to welcome the guests, Qi Ning knew that the reed sheng is the Miao family's favorite musical instrument, where there are Miao people, there are reed sheng, almost every young man in the Miao people will play the reed sheng, and when the time comes, you can court your beloved girl.

It's just that Qi Ning sighed secretly in his heart, this reed sheng tune is cheerful, but Eve's mood must not be cheerful.

Qi Ning didn't know, this is the Miao family's etiquette to welcome distinguished guests, although there is a big Miao King in Shangshui Cave, but the Miao family seventy-two caves have equal status, Eve is the sister of the owner of the Black Rock Cave, representing the Black Rock Cave, this time the first time I came to the Sheung Shui Cave, the reed sheng music, but also to express respect for the Black Rock Cave.

Lang Cha Dulu led the way in front, leading the two to Dazhai past, to the door, but a Miao man stretched out his hand to stop, Qi Ning frowned slightly, Lang Cha Dulu had already smiled and said: "In Dazhai, there is no blade, this is the rule set by the King of Da Miao." ”

Eve didn't say much, handed over the dagger on his body, Qi Ning hesitated, and finally took out the cold blade and handed it over, Lang Chadulu saw the cold blade and said: "The knife is not out of the sheath, it has a cold air, it is a good knife." ”

Qi Ning just smiled faintly, thinking that this cold blade was very special, it was neither a dagger, but it was definitely not a knife, but it was really a good thing.

Lang Chadulu saw that the two handed over their weapons, so he led the two into the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Qi Ning felt that it was very empty, facing the front, there was an old man, white, with layers of wrinkles on his face, with an indescribable old and haggard, seeing the two of them coming in, nodding slightly and smiling.

On the left and right, there were still more than a dozen people sitting, and Dandu Gu, who was still wearing bandages, sat near the white old man on the right, and when he saw the two of Eve coming in, he just glanced at it, and his face was expressionless.

Qi Ning followed Eve's side, looking at the old man from a distance, thinking that this old man should be the Great Miao King with incomparable prestige in the seventy-two caves of the Miao family.

The Great Miao King looked older than the ancient tree, but when the old man showed a smile, it made people feel extremely kind, and that kind of smile even made people feel peaceful.

Eve stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply, and said, "Heiyan Cave Eve pays a visit to King Da Miao, and may the witch god bless King Da Miao in good health." ”

Qi Ning also saw the etiquette of the Miao people at this time, and followed Eve to give a deep salute.

King Da Miao nodded slightly, his voice was slightly hoarse and old, but his mid-qi was not weak, and he said with a smile: "Child, I also wish you peace and success." ”

This village is very spacious, accommodating fifty or sixty people is not even a problem, only more than ten people are in it, it is spacious, although the voice of King Miao is old, but every word is very clear, everyone present can hear it clearly, Qi Ning thought that this old man is really old and strong, and he should be more than seventy years old.

Although the years have taken away the youth of King Da Miao and left vicissitudes, they have also left extraordinary wisdom.

"Sit down and talk." King Da Miao raised his hand to signal.

Eve sat down cross-legged on the floor, Qi Ning also sat down according to the gourd painting scoop, the eyes of everyone around fell on Eve, Qi Ning quietly glanced at the corner of his eye, knowing that these people were all important people in Shangshui Cave.

King Miao knew Eve well, and of course he knew what Eve was going to say today, obviously in the eyes of King Miao, this meeting was unusual and a very important meeting, so all the important people in Sheung Shui Dong gathered here, and his two sons were also present.

At this time, Lang Chadulu had already sat down in the lower left seat of the Great Miao King, sitting opposite Dandu Bone.

"King Miao, I'm .......!" As soon as Eve spoke, King Da Miao waved his hand and looked at Dandu Gu, who respected his father very much, nodded, looked at Eve, and said: "Heiyanling was blocked by officers and soldiers, after we knew about this matter, King Da Miao sent me to the Thorn Shi Mansion to ask Wei Thorn Shi about the reason, I saw Wei Thorn Shi, stayed in the Thorn Shi Mansion for a long time, and only returned yesterday." ”

Qi Ning and Eve's only then realized that Dandu Gu appeared in the ferry wooden building yesterday, but he had just returned and happened to meet him.

"Wei Tingshi told me the reason, and asked for a witness." Dandu Gu looked serious and said slowly: "Danba County ordered Bai Tangling to lead five yacha to the Black Rock Cave to collect taxes, and there was a dispute with you, and the blades intersected, and you killed Bai Tangling and the five yacha under him. But before Bai Tangling entered the mountain, he left a back hand and left two people at the bottom of the mountain, they did not wait for Bai Tangling to come back, but waited until you sent someone to kill them together, and one of them escaped death. After a pause, he continued: "Killing the court officials is equivalent to rebellion, Wei Tingshi summoned Bayali to the Assassin's Mansion to explain the matter, Bayali disobeyed, so Wei Tingshi sent officers and soldiers to blockade Heiyan Ridge. ”

Dandu Gu's voice was low and eloquent, and although Eve looked angry, she didn't interrupt Dandu Gu's speech.

After Dandu Gu finished speaking, King Da Miao looked at Eve and said with a smile: "Child, what Dandu Gu said is all news from the Thorn Shi Mansion, I want to hear from you." ”

Qi Ning was wondering in his heart at this time, whether it was because of the Dandu bones that Xichuan Assassin sent troops to surround Heiyanling, and surrounded but did not fight.

Dandu Gu claimed to have been in the Thorn Mansion for some time, and he must have done something else just for this kind of news.

Dandu bone represents the king of the Great Miao, but the king of the Great Miao represents the seventy-two caves of the Xichuan Miao people, no matter what decision Wei Shutong makes, he still has to weigh the weight of the king of the great Miao.

If Dandu Gu persuaded Wei Shutong not to move troops easily, Wei Shutong might really have to think about it.

Eve sat cross-legged, her beautiful figure straightened, and said, "King Miao, the government has always said that the Black Rock Cave evades taxes, but this is not true. There are many rare medicinal materials in the Black Rock Ridge, and there are also many rare beasts, since they are all in the Black Rock Ridge, they belong to the Black Rock Cave. ”

King Da Miao bowed slightly, and his expression was peaceful.

"Li Yuan, the prince of Shu, will take a lot of people to Heiyanling to hunt every autumn." Eve said slowly: "There are hundreds of people each time, and each hunt takes several days, and during these few days, these people's food, drink, and Lazar are all provided by our Black Rock Cave. ”

When Qi Ning heard the words "Prince of Shu", he immediately frowned.

When he was in the capital, he had a conflict with Li Yuan, the prince of Shu, and knew that the prince of Shu was arrogant and arrogant, even in the capital, it was also flying and domineering, if this person took people to Heiyan Ridge to hunt, the life of Heiyan Cave must be very difficult.

"Li Yuan doesn't need our Miao family's things, we have to send people to the city to purchase ingredients for food and drink, and hire a chef from the Han family to cook for them." Eve's pretty face was cold: "And every time they shoot many beasts in the Black Rock Ridge, they also order us to send people to collect rare medicinal materials and bring them back, and each time it costs more than we should pay taxes." Li Yuan promised us that all the expenses could be used as taxes, but every year the government still sent people to collect taxes. ”

Qi Ning was really a little suspicious before, thinking that the Black Rock Cave was really because of the relationship with the Jinyi Hou Mansion, using the Jinyi Hou Mansion as a backer, deliberately resisting the endowment, at this time Eve explained the reason, and then understood that the Black Rock Cave was greatly wronged.

Lang Chadulu was already indignant and said loudly: "King Miao, Li Yuan is doing nonsense, I know .......very well that he goes to Heiyan Ridge to hunt every year!" ”

King Da Miao frowned, his face was slightly gloomy, and said, "Lang Cha Dulu, you don't have to speak in a hurry, there is no harm in listening to others first." ”

Lang Chadulu was obviously very jealous of the Great Miao King, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

"Child, in that case, Bai Xian Ling will go to you, you can make it clear to him, and you can even go to Wei Tingshi." King Da Miao looked at Eve and said slowly, "Why did you want to conflict with the officials and even kill them? Bayali was not a reckless person, so why would he lose his mind and do such a thing because of anger? ”

"King Miao, that's not the case at all." Eve's fists clenched, "We didn't kill the official at all, Bai Xian Ling personally went to the Black Rock Cave, Brother warmly received him, and explained the reason to him, Bai County Ling did not blame Brother Ai, and said that Li Yuan's matter can be asked to let Brother Tell the whole story of the matter clearly, and he will take it back to Wei Tingshi." ”

"Heiyan Cave Eve, in front of the Great Miao King, there is no half a lie." A Miao man who was over fifty years old said in a deep voice: "Bai County's order took people into Heiyanling and never returned, is this fake?" ”

Eve shook her head and said: "It's true, but Bai County Ling and his officials did not leave Heiyan Ridge, because Bai County Ling's officials all died in Heiyan Ridge." ”

"So, you still killed the officials of the court?" The Miao man sneered: "King Miao has always said that you want to live in peace with the Han family, and you must not provoke trouble, you Heiyanling killed officials and rebelled, and now you want to ask King Miao for help, do you want the Miao family to be involved?" ”

Eve shook her head and said, "The official is dead, but it wasn't killed by us in the Black Rock Cave, and they say that we killed Bai Xian Ling, that's completely a frame-up, because...... Bai Xian Ling is not dead at all! ”
