Chapter 334 Emergencies
A sudden rainstorm blocked Meixiang and her group's return journey.
Since the tribe was built on the mountain, many of the rooms were built halfway up the mountain, half-hole-style, or cave-style. The sudden onslaught of this torrential rain soaked many houses.
Fortunately, there are more rocks on this side of the mountain, so no large-scale mudslides occurred, otherwise it would really be a disaster. However, some houses are completely uninhabitable, and the construction work, which could have been delayed a little longer, was urgently put on the agenda.
The corresponding thing is the war compensation with Haoyue. As the defeated party, ceding land and paying compensation is a common operation. The elders and others had already discussed it and put forward the rules. However, the sudden arrival of this natural disaster broke all their plans and made the tribe, which was not very wealthy, even worse.
Three days later, when the rain stopped and the weather cleared up, the clan leaders temporarily settled their people and gathered again in the courtyard of the third elder to discuss.
"I know that as the people of the Lion Clan who started the war, it is the most shameless thing to say." The Lion Clan leader's injured leg has not yet fully healed, and this time he was carried by his tribesmen.
"But I really have no choice. My fellow tribesmen have to survive." As he spoke, the lion chief's eyes became red.
The Lion Tribe accounted for one third of the compensation drawn up a few days ago.
A heavy rain hit the lion tribe the hardest because they lived in a low-lying area. The resettlement of disaster victims and post-disaster reconstruction both require money, so the compensation that almost emptied the lion tribe's assets could no longer be paid.
The productivity of the tribe was not high to begin with, and coupled with the low birth rate in recent years, the population has dropped sharply year by year. All tribes are tightening their belts. They can hardly protect themselves from this rain disaster, let alone lend a helping hand.
"Great Elder, you are most familiar with the Saint, why don't you go and ask her for advice?" The Rat Chief's right arm was still bandaged around his neck, and the abrasions on his face made it even more difficult for him to speak.
"Yes, yes."
"Great Elder, please take the trouble to give it a try."
Under everyone's expectant eyes, the great elder who was entrusted with the important task had no choice but to sit opposite Meixiang again.
Meixiang had an idea of what he was here for this time. She had discussed this issue with Mr. Dou and Situ Yidong before, and figured out how to keep the tribe alive while allowing Haoyue to save face.
Looking at the red-faced old man opposite her, who had no children and had dedicated his entire life to the tribe, Meixiang didn't have the heart to embarrass him any further. After Xiaosan served tea, she spoke first to break the deadlock.
"I have some idea of the reason why the Great Elder came here this time. As for this war, Haoyue has a close relationship with it, so I can't make much decision. But my brother Situ Shi and I will do our best for the tribe. We sent the letter yesterday night, and explained in detail the difficulties the tribe is facing now."
Hearing this, the Great Elder, who was originally in low spirits, suddenly raised his head, and the grayness in his eyes was instantly replaced by surprise. He really didn't expect Meixiang to take the initiative, and he didn't expect that Situ Yidong would be able to speak for the tribe regardless of past grudges.
He stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them, his eyes filled with tears, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Saint, thank you, Master Situ, for your generosity. All the tribesmen are grateful."
Xiao San came out from behind Mei Xiang and helped him sit down again. Mei Xiang looked at him and continued, "Although we two have interceded for you, this incident was caused by you, and Haoyue also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Compensation cannot be taken out for the time being, but attitude must be shown, otherwise the Emperor of Haoyue will not be able to explain to the people of Haoyue. What do you think?"
"Of course. I will call them together for the discussion tomorrow morning and will show my utmost sincerity. As long as Haoyue can give us some time to calm down, we will pay the full compensation." After hearing Meixiang's words, the Great Elder felt relieved. He answered with confidence, and he almost patted his chest.
"Tomorrow is perfect. I have good news to announce while everyone is here." Meixiang smiled mysteriously, and the colorful plum blossom between her eyebrows was so dazzling that people dared not look directly at her.
Bright moon, Liu's house, in the main hall of the north courtyard.
The letter sent back by Meixiang and Situ Yidong was passed through the hands of the beautiful woman, Situ Yixu, Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng and Sun Yu, then resealed and sent to the capital as quickly as possible.
Now they have completely regarded Sun Yu as one of their own.
"I never thought that Sister Xiang'er would have such an adventure. A saint girl with ten tribes." Chu Zeming recalled the contents of Meixiang's letter and couldn't help but sigh. As the future head of the family in charge of Haoyue Divination, he had carefully read all the classics of the tribe. He remembered that one of the books introduced this Saint Girl Temple in detail, which was quite mysterious.
"How do you say this?"
"I don't know the details, but according to the records it's very mysterious. Well, in some aspects, its ability is no less than the Chu family's divination. But Sister Xiang'er must be very distressed, hahaha..."
Facing Situ Yixu's puzzled look, Chu Zeming whispered to him about Meixiang's "lofty ideal" in detail, which made General Situ laugh repeatedly, and at the same time, he had another plan in mind.
Seeing that Situ Yixu understood what he meant, Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen exchanged glances silently. You have to find time and opportunity to dig at the corners. Who knows, maybe you can dig through them one day.
Everything depends on human effort! Even if it doesn't work, at least we should annoy Situ Yidong, humph!
Thanks to the caravans traveling between Liuzhou Prefecture and the capital, the first thing the other prefectures did after they had enough money was to follow Liuzhou Prefecture's example and organize their people to build roads together.
In just two days, the letter from the tribe that passed through Liu's mansion was placed on the table of the inconspicuous old house in the capital.
The war, which lasted for more than a year, came suddenly and ended even more quickly. No one expected that in the end the enemy would be completely defeated and surrender without a fight.
This was the first handwritten letter from Meixiang that they received since the war broke out.
In order to avoid worrying them, the letter only contained information about safety and a request for some vegetable seeds. Therefore, the previous few letters were finally collected by the beautiful woman herself and not sent back to the capital.
"Open it quickly and see what girl Xiang wrote?" Seeing that the signature on the envelope was in Meixiang's handwriting, the old master Situ hurriedly urged Wang Huang to open it and take a look.
They had already received Situ Yixu's letter and learned that not only had they won the battle, but they had also captured the three enemy commanders alive. They didn't know any more details, so they were all very curious.
