Chapter XIII Tribal Council

Qian Xiaoxing lowered his head and walked into the room. After entering, the light was dark and he couldn't see clearly. After adapting for a while, he saw that the big house was a round thatched hut with a large pillar as support. Several people were sitting in the distance, and Xu Jie took them over.

Qian Xiaoxing walked closer and saw the woman sitting in the middle, but she covered her face with white cloth, only her bright eyes were exposed, her hair was braided into many small braids, spreading around. She was wearing a strap on her forehead, with patterns embroidered on it and decorated with gems. She was wearing a snow-white leather jacket, spreading her hands on the chair handle, sitting with her legs raised, and delicate black leather boots on her feet.

There was a girl next to the woman, wearing a blue dress, with a dignified and beautiful face, holding a long sword in both hands, pointing the tip of the sword to the ground, and standing there with her legs slightly spread out.

Xujie said to Qian Xiaoxing: "This is our patriarch Yi Hongyue, the patriarch, they are the people from Si Guo."

Yi Hongyue waved her hand and asked Xu Jie to retreat. A silver bell-like voice came from behind the mask: "Who are you from Si Guo? What's the matter with me?"

Si Yingying stepped forward and said, "Hello, Clan Chief Yi, I am Princess Si. This is General Lu Shengzhong, General Si, Chief of Staff Qian Xiaoxing, and entourage Xu Lingli. I need the help of the clan leader when I have something to do."

Then Si Yingying took out the jade pendant hanging on her body. The woman next to Yi Hongyue stepped forward and took the jade pendant and handed it over. Yi Hongyue took the jade pendant and looked carefully. Suddenly, a jade pendant was pulled out from her chest, which was also half-moon-shaped. The two were combined into one, which happened to be a pair. Moreover, Yi Hongyue's piece was engraved with a dragon and the phoenix pendant of her boss Yingying was a combination of dragon and phoenix.

Yi Hongyue confirmed that she was a member of the State of Si. Unexpectedly, these people were also important figures of the State of Si. She came over in such cold weather. There must be something important. She lowered her raised legs and signaled, saying, "Sit down and talk."

Although Qian Xiaoxing looked at Yi Hongyue with a blindfolded face, his eyes were pretty and flashing with inspiration. When he heard his voice, he was also a young woman. Generally speaking, his face was either very beautiful or ugly. Seeing that his every move showed elegant temperament, Qian Xiaoxing's heart speculated that he was very beautiful, and he just hoped that he was a stunning woman who could feast his eyes.

Everyone sat on the bench next to him. Si Yingying said, "Captain Yi must also understand that our Si State was invaded by Hu State five years ago. Three of four cities were lost, and even the Guodu Pass was lost."

Yi Hongyue nodded and replied, "I know this. After Guandu was occupied by Hu, Hu also bullied the people of my Yi mother clan. We also had revenge and could not avenge us."

When Si Yingying heard that since everyone had hatred for Hu, it seemed that the matter of borrowing soldiers would be successful in this case. So she said, "Hu State bullying our Si State, we have reached an unbearable point. We are secretly training 2,000 soldiers to retake Panlong Pass, but because the plan still requires the Yimu clan to give us 500 soldiers as support, so I come this time, I really want you to borrow soldiers from the patriarch."

"Five hundred, borrow soldiers?" Yi Hongyue thought for a while after hearing this, and asked, "You only have two thousand soldiers. Even if I lend you five hundred, this little force will not be able to defeat Panlong Pass."

After hearing this, Si Yingying nodded and replied: "According to ordinary methods, it is indeed impossible to attack. However, our chief of staff Qian Xiaoxing has a good plan to defeat the enemy. Please ask the chief of staff to explain to the clan leader."

Yi Hongyue turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Qian Xiaoxing. Seeing that this young and green man had become the chief of staff of Si Guo, he was also a little curious. Qian Xiaoxing stood up and said this plan. Yi Hongyue nodded after hearing this, and looked at Qian Xiaoxing with admiration and said, "I didn't expect that Si Guo has such a proficient strategy. This plan is indeed possible."

Qian Xiaoxing continued to explain: "Captain Yi, you know our plan too, so your 500 soldiers are also a key element. If not, our plan will not be carried out, so this time we took the liberty to come and borrow soldiers. I promise that your soldiers will not damage one."

"Well, even if the State of Si does not come to borrow troops, we will still take revenge against the State of Hu. I think this matter is feasible, but I still need to discuss with the elders of the clan and give you the result at that time." After that, he turned around and said to Xujie, "You take them to stay first."

Everyone turned around and wanted to leave, and Qian Xiaoxing suddenly said, "That, Clan Chief Yi, can this jade pendant be returned to us?"

After hearing this, Yi Hongyue burst into laughter, thinking that this person was afraid that I would not return him, and said, "This jade pendant should be from King Si, and I will naturally return it to you when the time comes."

Qian Xiaoxing nodded and retreated. Everyone followed Xu Jie to a thatched hut. Xu Jie said, "You live here for the time being, don't walk around."

When Xu Jie left, the four of them started to discuss it. It seemed that Yi Hongyue was very supportive of the plunder of soldiers. Unexpectedly, things went so well, and they were all very happy.

Seeing that they were leaving, Yi Hongyue said to the woman beside her: "Biyao, go and invite the elders of the clan to come over and say I have something to discuss with you."

Bi Yao put down the sword in her hand and took the order and left. Soon after, the elders of the clan came one after another and sat down.

There are six elders in the Yi mother clan, all of whom are women, some of whom are in their forties, and two are almost sixty years old, each holding a staff representing power in their hands. Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Yi Hongyue spoke and said, "Elders, please come here, it's a matter of discussion."

One of the elderly elders in black replied, "Is it related to the four people from Si Guo? What's the matter with them?"

"Elder Yixi, you are right. They came here this time to ask me that Yi's mother tribe borrowed 500 soldiers." Yi Hongyue said bluntly.

"Borrowing troops? What's the purpose?" Elder Yixi continued to ask.

Yi Hongyue talked aside Qian Xiaoxing's plan and finally said: "I think this plan is fine, and the 500 soldiers of our tribe will not be damaged, so I think I can agree. I don't know what the elders mean?"

Another older elder, wearing a white robe named Lingying, thought for a while and said, "The Hu Kingdom has repeatedly bullied our tribe and killed more than a dozen of us. I support it if I have the opportunity to take revenge this time!"

The other elders did not answer, but just raised their eyes to Elder Yixi in black robe. It turned out that in Yi's mother tribe, there seemed to be calm on the surface, but there was a rush of undercurrents.

Yi Hongyue has just been in the position of the patriarch for more than a year. The reason why she was able to sit was because her mother was originally the patriarch. After unfortunately passing away, Yi Hongyue took the position of the patriarch for the patriarch.

However, some elders in the clan were very dissatisfied with Yi Hongyue's ability to be the leader of the clan, especially this elder Yi Xi. Seeing that Yi Hongyue is still young, he wanted to destroy Yi Hongyue and get to power. Among the six elders, namely Elder Lingying and another elder, are still on Yi Hongyue's side, while the other three elders follow the leader of Elder Yi Xi.

Elder Yixi thought about it. If he agreed to borrow troops this time and let Si Guo attack Panlong Pass successfully, it would be avenging Yi's mother clan. The matter was done beautifully, but Yi Hongyue would be supported and loved by the tribe members, and the status of the clan leader would be more stable. This matter would be very unfavorable to defeat her. So he thought for a while and said, "Elder Lingying, I don't think this matter well, and I don't support it."

Elder Lingying asked in dissatisfaction with the thought of Yiqing in his heart: "What's wrong, let's talk about it."

Elder Yixi stood up and said slowly: "First, our tribe sent five hundred troops, and there will be no soldiers in the tribe to protect us. If other tribes take the opportunity to attack our tribe, what should we do? Second, Si Guo said that one soldier of our tribe would not hurt, and this war would not be controlled by him. If it is not done well, there will be hundreds of casualties, how can we explain to the tribe members?"

After hearing this, Lingying was excited and stood up and said, "Barring the truth, there are more than a thousand young and strong men in our clan. Even if we go out for 500, the rest will be enough to protect our clan's safety. Moreover, we must avenge the revenge of Hu. Even if we damage some soldiers, it is worth it as long as we can take revenge."

"Hmph, Elder Lingying, this is just your personal idea. If you want to consider the whole clan, I firmly do not agree with borrowing troops." Elder Yixi said firmly in his tone.

"Yes, yes, we don't support it!" The three people from Elder Yixi's faction immediately expressed their opinions.

Sitting in the upper throne, Yi Hongyue couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the situation developing like this. Elder Yixi usually goes against him. This time, he thinks of such a good opportunity to take revenge, Yixi will think about the interests of the whole clan and no longer fight against him, but it seems that he is thinking too naive.

While thinking, Elder Lingying said excitedly: "Elder Yixi, don't think I don't know what you think. I will tell you, if you want to be the patriarch, unless I die."

Elder Yixi was exposed in person and suddenly became a little angry and said angrily: "I am a cow and a horse for Yi's mother tribe, but in the end, this little girl is the patriarch. How can I compare to her? The patriarch's position is someone who can live in it. What's wrong with me!"

Bi Yao, who was standing beside Yi Hongyue, heard Yi Xi calling the clan leader the little girl, immediately raised her sword and shouted angrily: "You must not be unreasonable to the clan leader!"

Yi Hongyue raised her hand to block Biyao. After all, Elder Yixi was highly respected and powerful in the clan Reed, and still couldn't afford to offend him now. He said to Biyao: "Let go!"
