Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 187 Starting today, Beidi is the tenth state of Chu State

When Jiang Qingjian and Jiang Qingzhu came to Jiang Qingyu, the expressions on their faces were quite different.

"Second brother, third sister."

Jiang Qingyu clasped his fists at the two of them and saluted, with a humble demeanor, he didn't open his mouth to mock each other or boast about himself.

"I've seen the second son, the third miss."

On one side, Xiao Man was half a step behind, and also bowed to the two of them.

It seems that he still regards himself as the little maid of the Ziyan Courtyard.

With a warm smile on Jiang Qingjian's face, he clasped his fists and joked:
"Beidi is in today's situation, thanks to Miss Xiaoman!"

"If I had known today, I should have found a good wife like you. Then maybe I wouldn't have lost so badly."

"Fourth brother, you must not let Miss Xiaoman down!"

"Otherwise, even if you become the eldest son, you will help her teach you as a brother."

Xiaoman blushed and bowed her head in silence.

Jiang Qingyu smiled and nodded:
"With the support of my second brother, she will be the only one who will bully me from now on!"

"By the way, I heard that Erniang has been trying to find a marriage for the second brother in recent years, but the second brother has always refused because of state affairs."

"but……"

"After going back this time, I'm afraid that the second brother will not be able to escape?"

"..."

Hearing the word "marriage", a trace of unnaturalness appeared on Jiang Qingjian's face.

In the past, he had always been regarded by the outside world as the next King of Rejecting the North, so many dignitaries wished to send their most beloved daughter to marry him, even if it was just to be a concubine!
His mother Jiang Jing and grandfather Jiang Yu also selected a few suitable women from among them. Most of them were the jewels in the palm of hermit families, or the daughters of officials above the third rank in the court. .

But he rejected them all.

But right now, he is no longer destined to be the son of the eldest son, and most of the powerful and powerful people who like to follow others are secretly celebrating that they did not succeed in marrying their daughters to him, right?

Jiang Qingjian sighed softly:
"Fourth brother thinks, after today, how many women in the world will be willing to marry me?"

Jiang Qingyu was slightly taken aback, and then comforted:

"Second brother's words are wrong. You are the No. 11 Qilin son on the list of Chu's sons. You are the top choice in terms of talent, family background, and temperament. How can there be no women who like it?"

"If a woman turns from being happy to you because of a temporary failure, then..."

"What's the use of marrying this kind of woman who is only willing to share joys and sorrows?"

Jiang Qingjian smiled in relief.

"What you said makes sense."

"I was originally against the matter of marriage, but my mother is quite enthusiastic about it. After today, I feel relieved."

He paused and glanced around at the same time.

Seeing that the leaders of the eight major tribes of Beidi seemed to have made an agreement, they rode their horses towards the carriage at the same time.

"Don't mention me, the leaders have already arrived, and it's time to talk about business."

"Fourth brother, you are the future heir of the palace, you will make all the decisions today, and Qingzhu and I will only be spectators."

"Second brother!"

Jiang Qingzhu snorted softly, a look of reluctance flashed across his face, but he was powerless to refute.

Jiang Qingyu said modestly:

"Second brother doesn't have to be like this."

"I have little talent and learning, so I may not be able to do everything in the matter of arranging Beidi. If there are any deficiencies, please point them out in time, so as not to cause disaster."

Say it.

He took Xiaoman's hand and returned to his army.

At this time, the leaders of the eight major tribes of Beidi also got off their horses one after another, and walked to Jiang Qingyu on foot.

In addition to Wu Tuobu, Qiyan Wumu and Bao Luote who are already familiar to everyone, He Lianxiong, the leader of the Helian family, is a strong man with a strong back and waist, and a resolute young man with the same size is beside him. The two are looking at Jiang Qingyu , but his eyes turned more to Xiao Man who was on the side, with a bit of awe, gratitude, and a hint of pampering in his eyes.

Xiaoman waved his hand and smiled friendlyly at the two of them.

The leader of the Hude Clan is a seven-year-old girl, with big watery eyes that makes everyone feel a little scared, arousing pity, and is very cute.

Accompanying her was the hunched High Priest of Hu De, and the two of them followed closely behind He Lianxiong and his son, like servants.

The leaders of the remaining three tribes came alone.

The leader of the Baal clan, Balman, is a thin, decadent man. Ever since he learned the news of the fall of the old ancestor Bals, he has been depressed.

The new leader of the Tuoba Clan, High Priest Tuoba, was the complete opposite, with a faint smile on his face, as if Beidi had won the battle.

Wearing a clean sacrificial robe, the old man who lived for 120 years is hale and hearty, with sharp legs and feet, and looks like he is 80 or [-] years old.

It's just that he was born blind in one eye, and the other eye has strange purple pupils, so no matter what expression on his face, he is a bit creepy.

The last person is the leader of the Hill family.

But what was surprising was that the person who came was not the "bull head" Xier Xia, but his nephew Xier Kun.

"The pair of uncles and nephews actually reconciled. It seems that what happened back then was really caused by High Priest Hill!"

Jiang Qingyu, who had already learned some inside information from judge Cui Hua, gave Xier Kun a friendly smile and clapped her hands at the same time.

next moment.

Duoji, Yu An and all the Anbei Army retreated to the sides in unison, making way for a wide path among the crowd.

Everyone looked at the reputation, and saw that this road was hundreds of feet long and ten feet wide, with heavily armed cavalry guards on both sides, and a long table and a dozen wooden chairs were placed in the center.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, a dozen bowls, a jug of wine, and a map that covers most of the table.

Obviously, this is the place Jiang Qingyu prepared for everyone to negotiate.

"Everyone, please."

Jiang Qingyu took Xiaoman's hand, walked in first, and stopped after reaching the seat of the chief seat.

Liu Jie followed closely behind and came to the first seat on the left.

Under Jiang Qingyu's signal, Jiang Qingjian and Jiang Qingzhu walked in the first and second positions on his right.

When people from the Eight Great Tribes saw this scene, many of them showed hesitation on their faces.

But when Utuobu, Qiyan Wumu and others walked in, the rest of them also hurried in one by one, and found their own positions in order according to the strength ranking of their respective tribes.

but……

Since Jiang Qingyu didn't sit down, no one dared to sit down rashly, but they all cast their eyes on him.

Jiang Qingyu raised her head slightly and glanced around.

As far as the eyes could see, every Anbei army held their heads high, their armors were bright, their spears were shiny, and their faces were filled with confident and proud smiles.

The people of the eight major tribes have different expressions.

Some are lonely, some are tragic, some are helpless, and some are determined...

When they saw Helian's little princess and Jiang Qingyu standing together intimately just now, they knew that Beidi was destined to change today!

Of course, everyone knew that even if Helianshi chose to fight Hudeshi and Jiang Qingyu to the death, nothing would change.

Ever since they learned the news of the fall of Bals and Tuobayan, they have already made psychological preparations to submit to Chu, and even...

Some people surrendered to outsiders years or even decades ago!

"I brought everyone together today to talk about a few things."

"First thing..."

Jiang Qingyu looked at the people of the major tribes with a scrutiny, and said coldly:

"Now that Tuobayan and Barth have fallen, the war between Beidi and Chu for so many years should come to an end."

"You are the principals of the eight major tribes of Beidi, and you have always held the authority of the entire Beidi in the past. Today, on behalf of the Jubei Palace and Chu, I ask you a question——"

"Beidi, are you willing to surrender?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to be the first to say yes, for fear that they would be nailed to the pillar of shame in Beidi's history!
Even the seven-year-old girl was too sensible to say a word.

After a while.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Wu Tuobu's face flashed a flash of determination, but just when he was about to be the first to speak out, Jiang Qingyu's voice sounded in his ear again:
"Those who wish to surrender, just sit down."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tuobu immediately pulled away the stool, bent down and sat down.

Immediately afterwards, He Lianxiong and his son, Qiyan Wumu, Bao Luote, Xier Kun, and Balman also took their seats one by one.

The high priest of the Hude family also pulled the timid little girl to sit on the chair together.

Finally, there is High Priest Tuoba.

At this moment, the High Priest Tuoba looked a bit like an old man over 100 years old, his movements were stiff and slow, and his expression was extremely difficult. When he was seated, he "accidentally" tripped over the stool with his foot, and even fell down with himself. On the ground!
"Old and useless!"

High Priest Tuoba gave everyone an apologetic smile, then tremblingly got up from the ground, straightened the chair with both hands, but "accidentally" turned it over!
But he persisted until the stool fell down three times and he helped it up three more times before finally sitting on it firmly.

Someone noticed that after Jiang Qingyu opened his mouth, this person was obviously the first to bend down, but he was the last one to sit down.

It seems to have been calculated!

Jiang Qingyu could naturally see that the old man who personally killed Tuobaqi was not as weak as he looked, most of the actions just now were intentional.

But he didn't care.

Just watch it all patiently and write it down silently.

"very good."

Seeing that all the people from Beidi had sat down, Jiang Qingyu had a smile on her face and announced:

"So……"

"From today, Beidi is the tenth state of Chu State."
