Light Dance Jiajing

Without the great wizard, Meng'er and his companions had nothing to do. Meng'er was a restless person, and they could not help but want to look around in such a primitive and paradise-like place, so they took Zaihou to play everywhere. They quickly became familiar with the Miao people in the village. Miao women were very hardworking, and when they were not busy in farming, they would sit under the eaves and embroider. Meng'er thought it was no wonder that their clothes were embroidered with different patterns. Meng'er was not very good at embroidery, but these women were willing to teach her. However, Meng'er became impatient after learning to embroider for half a day, and someone laughed at her: Why can't you learn needlework like our little princess?

The little princess is the youngest daughter of the current Miao king. Her name is Peng Yu. She is thirteen years old this year, the same age as Meng'er. As the youngest child of the Miao king, she has been spoiled since she was a child. She has never learned needlework or embroidery, but only likes to wield swords and guns. Everyone in the village treats Peng Yu as a boy. As they were talking, they heard a string of silver bell-like laughter. The woman who was embroidering raised her head and smiled, "She is here just as we were talking."

Meng'er looked in the direction of the voice and saw two figures gradually approaching. The girl on the left must be the little princess Peng Yu, but she had no time to look at her. Her eyes were fixed on the man on the right who was looking intimate with Peng Yu. It was Zai Ji who was haunting her and trying to kill her several times. Meng'er stared blankly and couldn't tell what she felt at this moment, as if she was struck by lightning.

When people saw the little princess, they quickly stopped what they were doing and stood up to show their respect. Peng Yu walked past these women. It was obvious that she was used to her status. She just tilted her head and chatted with the man next to her. The man said something that made Peng Yu laugh again. When passing by Meng'er, Zai Ji suddenly raised his eyes and smiled. It was a seemingly ordinary smile, but Meng'er suddenly felt the temperature drop sharply and her whole body became cold.

The saying "the one who comes is not well-placed to do good" is very appropriate here. It goes without saying why Zai Ji also came here. It must be to stop Zaihou from detoxifying. Mei'er clenched her fists unconsciously. She had only one thought in her mind: for Zaihou, it doesn't matter if I kill you. This is not the first time that Mei'er has wanted to kill him. She has never wanted to die alone so much before.

Meng'er also got the confirmed news from the Third Protector. The Third Protector frowned, he had met Zaiji and the Sixth Protector. They were all smart people and knew each other's purpose without saying anything. It was all for their own interests. The Sixth Protector's interests were tied to Zaiji, but the Third Protector was now tied to Zaihou's boat. If Zaihou's poison was solved, it would be a fatal blow to Zaihou, and the leader's balance might tilt towards Zaihou. What's more, there was Meng'er, a very shrewd future daughter-in-law. The meeting between the Third Protector and the Sixth Protector was very harmonious. After exchanging a few words, they turned around. At this moment, the coldness appeared on their faces, and they all wished to kill the other party immediately.

The three guardians moved Meng'er and her brother to their own residence to prevent any accidents, and sent experts around them to protect them. Meng'er was not in the mood to go out and play anymore. She heard some rumors about Zai Ji from the Miao people. The general idea was that this young man from the Han family named Bo Yi (Zai Ji's pseudonym) captured Peng Yu's heart right from the start. The proud little princess obeyed Bo Yi's words. Some people said that Bo Yi was waiting for the Miao King to come back to propose marriage. Meng'er was even more worried. What a Zai Ji, he would do anything to achieve his goal. That Peng Yu looked ordinary, even if she looked like a fairy, how could Zai Ji marry her? In order to prevent Zai Hou from detoxifying, he set his sights on the Miao King's daughter. But this way, Zai Ji's chances of winning are greater. Alas, now she can only wait for the Miao King and the great wizard to come back.

In a state of anxiety, Meng'er finally waited for the return of the Miao King and the Great Wizard. The two were in a hurry, and with them came the chiefs of several subordinate villages, whom the Miao people called cave masters. As soon as they arrived, several more cave masters came over. More than a dozen people held a meeting behind closed doors for two days. Meng'er thought that something big might have happened, and it turned out to be a big thing. After a few years of peace, the court was going to open up the border again. It had sent generals to set up a large number of settlements and forts in Qiandong, Guiyang, Anshun and other places. The next step would inevitably be to force many Miao people to relocate. In recent years, the Han population in the Central Plains has increased. In order to resolve the contradiction between population and land, they have continuously invaded the Miao territory, and the Miao people have no place to retreat or defend. Many Miao people have been forced step by step into the high-altitude and cold areas in the southwestern mountains. If the court drives them away again, they are afraid that the few remaining fields will not be able to be defended.

Within a few days, everyone in the village knew about this, and they were all outraged. Even though there had been no major wars in the past few years, the number of Miao people had increased, but in total there were only a few tens of thousands of people. Every time the imperial court launched an expedition, although both sides suffered losses, there were many Han people, and the casualties of tens of thousands were just a small number. But it was different for the Miao people. The imperial blockade had long since deprived them of supplies, and large-scale casualties would shake their foundation. But if they sat there and waited to die, would the Han people continue to drive them away? For a while, the village was filled with pre-war tension and hatred towards the Han people, and even the eyes they looked at Meng'er and the others were hostile. The young and middle-aged people spontaneously organized militia, and the previous leisurely and peaceful atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Zaiji walked slowly to Meng'er's side and said, "Look how busy these Miao people are. They are about to go to war. They can't even care about your brother's life or death."

Mei'er took a half step back to distance herself from him. She pursed her lips. Zaiji always had such a harmless face, as if he was used to expressing himself this way. His face was stiff and he smiled but his heart was not. Even his tone was rarely up and down, but his words were extremely vicious. Mei'er thought it would be better to ignore this lunatic. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly saw two people coming up behind him. They were the two traitors, Ajin and Alai. Mei'er simply ignored the two guys and turned away. However, the anger in her eyes revealed her emotions. Zaiji looked back at the Ajin brothers and smiled, "It seems that you can irritate her more than me."
