The Black Rock Cave elected Eve as the new cave master, which surprised Qi Ning.

There are six villages in the Black Rock Cave, men, women and children add up to thousands of people, in Qi Ning's view, as the master of a cave, it is natural to take on the mission of the rise and fall of a cave, Bayali passed away, and it is imperative to elect a new cave owner, but the choice of the cave master is of course to be carefully considered.

Eve's age is still young, and although she is quite popular in the clan, it seems that there is still a gap between the qualifications and prestige required by the cave master.

Qi Ning didn't think that Eve would become the new cave master, and while he was stunned, he quickly realized the strangeness of it.

For the Black Rock Cave, in the current situation, the condition for selecting the cave owner may not necessarily rely on seniority and prestige, otherwise the other village owners are above Eve in terms of seniority and prestige, and it will not be Eve's turn to succeed the cave owner anyway.

But there is one thing that Eve is far superior to everyone else, and that is the relationship with the Jinyi family.

Everyone is not blind, of course, they can see the intimacy between Eve and Qi Ning, even if they don't know that the two have made a private decision for life, but the intimacy between the two is obvious to all.

Heiyan Cave is in the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, belonging to a special force, because of the merit of assisting the old marquis of Jinyi to pacify Xichuan, but he violated the order of the king of Miao, so he became an outlier in the seventy-two caves, and was regarded as the eagle dog of the imperial court by the Miao family.

In this situation, the Black Rock Cave can only rely on the Jinyi family.

Maintaining a relationship with the imperial court is of course an extremely important thing for the Black Rock Cave, Eve has a close relationship with the Jinyi Waiting Lord, if Eve inherits the position of the master of the Black Rock Cave, it will naturally make the Black Rock Cave tightly connected with the Jinyi Qi family.

"Since it's what they all mean, it naturally makes sense." Qi Ning said softly: "It's just that you succeed the cave master, and there will be a lot more things in the future, and you will be a lot tired." ”

Eve said: "I know why they chose this way, but it's just .....! After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "But because they know that I am very close to you, they know that the Black Rock Cave depends on the Jinyi Qi family, so they ......." With a wry smile, he said: "Originally, I was not suitable for this position, but if I refused, they would be uneasy in their hearts, I thought about it, the most important thing at the moment is to let everyone settle down, I will serve as the cave master for the time being, and then let them choose others when the time is about right." ”

Qi Ning hummed softly, stared at Eve, and said softly, "No matter what difficulties there are, you have to tell me." ”

"I ..... Got it. Eve nodded slightly, and then worried: "You will go to Cangxi tomorrow, but ...... There's still a big mess here, and I was going to go with you, but I couldn't go away for a while as the successor cave master. ”

Qi Ning smiled: "You don't have to worry too much, you also know that the current friendship between Da Miao Wang Dandugu and me is not bad, and this trip is with Uncle Xiang, Uncle Xiang is good at martial arts, even if we really want to move, it is not difficult for us to retreat." ”

Eve frowned and said, "I'm just worried, if the Miao family's great witch is really Jizang, then ...... Will the court punish her? ”

"The state has its own laws." Qi Ning Zhengse said: "According to the clues we have now, Dizang has been involved in many incidents that have harmed Great Chu, if she is really Dizang, she will naturally have to give an explanation to the imperial court." ”

Eve sighed: "The Great Witch has a high status in the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, even if it is really Jizang, it is not easy for the imperial court to punish her. The Miao family will not watch the Miao family witch be punished, anyone in the seventy-two caves of the Miao family who violates the law of the country can be punished, but the Miao family will not let her accept any punishment from the imperial court. ”

Qi Ning's expression was solemn and thoughtful.

"I'm worried that once there is a stalemate, it is very likely to cause a conflict between the 72nd cave of the Miao family and the imperial court." Eve said softly: "Little brother, when you arrive in Cangxi, you must think twice, and you must not be impulsive in everything. The Miao family is not belligerent, but if they really want to be fierce, they are not afraid of things. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said: "The Li family has been powerful in Xichuan for many years, and they have been tyrannical to the Miao family, and many of the Miao family members are dissatisfied with the Han family because of this, even now, there are many people who want to get rid of the control of the imperial court, but most of the Miao family members are willing to live peacefully under the control of the imperial court, but once they find an opportunity, there will definitely be people with ill intentions who will take advantage of the opportunity." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, there will always be black sheep, but don't worry, I will be careful in everything, and I will never let anyone provoke a conflict between the Miao family's seventy-two caves and the imperial court." ”

Qi Ning, of course, knew that once the Xichuan turmoil would have huge consequences.

The imperial court was ready to send troops north, and in such a situation, any unrest in the country would affect the northward movement of the empire.

The seventy-two caves of the Miao family are an extremely important force in Xichuan, and the actions of this force can completely affect the entire Xichuan, if the turmoil in the seventy-two caves is caused by Jizang, the plan of the imperial court to go north can only be interrupted immediately, and it can only focus on the side of Xichuan.

In this way, the state of Chu will miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only will it not be possible to defeat the Eastern Qi, but also the plan to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the northwest will also be in vain.

Therefore, Qi Ning knows that he has a great responsibility, not only to find out the hidden treasure, but also not to cause turmoil in Xichuan because of this matter.

Because of this, Qi Ning did not insist on negotiating with the Miao family in person, but was replaced by Xiang Baiying to go up the mountain.

Although it was a reunion after a long absence, Qi Ning was in good faith this night, and he didn't make love with Eve, after all, the Black Rock Cave suffered a catastrophe, and the dead people had just been sacrificed, in this case, no matter how much he couldn't bear it, he had to persevere.

Early the next morning, Eve personally sent Qi Ning down the mountain.

In addition to Xiang Baiying and Qi Ning, Qi Feng also brought four guards with him, and Duan Canghai led his black scale cavalry to be stationed at the foot of the mountain, which was also to prevent the treasure boy from running to the Black Rock Cave again to do evil.

Cangxi is in the southeast of Heiyanling, Qi Ning has his own shock, and he picked a fast horse from the team as Xiang Baiying's mount, and a group of seven people went straight to Cangxi Miao Village.

On the way, there was more than one day, and on this day I had seen the stream and mountain from afar.

Cangxi Shangshui Cave is also divided into six villages, five villages ring arch the village of the king of Miao, Qi Ning knows that the village is in the Xishan mansion, it is the late autumn season, the mountain is like a giant dragon creeping on the vast land, spreading boundlessly, quite imposing.

There was a layer of misty clouds and mist over the entire Xishan Mountain, and he vaguely saw a peak rising to the sky in the mountain, standing among the mountains, Qi Ning knew that it was the Sun and Moon Peak.

Sun Moon Peak is the highest peak in the entire Xi Mountain, and it is also the place where the Miao family witch is located, in the misty clouds, you can vaguely see the outline, Qi Ning knows that if you want to get close to the Sun Moon Peak, it is not easy, you need to pass through layers of mountains, through many Miao family villages, to reach the foot of Sun Moon Peak.

The Miao family is a god-like existence in the minds of the Miao family, and the Sun and Moon Peak is only more than ten miles away from the village where the Miao King is located.

There are naturally only a handful of people in the world who can see the Miao family's great witch, even if the Miao family, if they want to meet the Miao family's great witch, they must also go through the permission of the great Miao king.

It's just that this time Qi Ning and the others want to see the Miao family, but they can't let too many people know.

On the way, he had already discussed with Xiang Baiying, and when he entered the territory of Cangxi, he took advantage of the night to sneak into Xishan quietly, after all, he knew where Sun Moon Peak was, determined the direction, and avoided hearing and approaching Sun Moon Peak It was not too difficult for Qi Ning and the others.

After entering Cangxi, several people had already changed into Miao family clothes, and the horses were stored early.

Cangxi is the sphere of influence of the Miao family, it is rare to see the Han family here, even if you do, most of them are businessmen who do business here, the Miao family is not good at doing business, most of the villages are self-sufficient, but the Han merchants bring rich goods, many Miao families are also willing to do business with these businessmen, for the Miao family, no matter what business to do, integrity is the first, so the businessmen who can survive here can be regarded as keeping integrity, because the business has been done for a long time, The Miao family has a strong recognition of these businessmen, and if there is a stranger in this area, it is easy to attract the attention of the Miao family.

Qi Ning knew that near this Cangxi, the Miao family had many ears and eyes, after all, it was the location of the Great Miao King and the Miao Family, and the security was naturally much stricter than that of other Miao villages.

Xiang Baiying went south and north, and he was originally a Shu person, so he naturally knew how to better avoid the ears and eyes of the Miao family in this area, and led everyone into the mountain, and because he wanted to avoid the ears and eyes, he could only pass through some extremely remote and difficult places.

Needless to say, Xiang Baiying and Qi Ning's martial arts, Qi Feng and the others are also elite guards, there is no lack of physical strength, and it is not a problem to climb mountains and mountains, but although the Sun and Moon Peak can see the outline in the distance, but if they really want to pass through the streams and mountains to get close to the past, they have become extremely far away, and at dawn, Wu Zi saw that the Sun and Moon Peak was between the clouds and mist, and there was still a considerable distance.

Everyone ate dry food, rested, and walked more carefully during the day.

Until it was dark, it was finally at the foot of the Sun Moon Peak, and the Miao family's ears and eyes were avoided along the way.

The solitary peak of the Sun and Moon Peak is independent, the wind blows the trees, and there is a lake not far from the mountain, which reflects the Sun and Moon Peak in the lake.

Qi Ning came here for the second time, knowing that the Sun Moon Peak is not like Xishan, and the other peaks have roads, and the other peaks have villages, and people come and go, so naturally there are roads feasible, and there are few people on the Sun Moon Peak, and there is only an extremely rugged path leading up the mountain.

An autumn moon rises in the east, and the entire stream and mountain are bathed in moonlight.
