At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 730 The Mountain Ghost Tells Me

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo followed Ah Qing to the river, and they saw that the nearly 20 meters wide river had disappeared yesterday, almost stopped flowing, revealing a large area of ​​silt, reefs and gravel at the bottom of the river, leaving only the river channel sunken There is also gurgling water on one side.

Hundreds of Miao people stood by the river, whispering to each other, or looking terrified, and some even knelt down on the ground and kowtowed devoutly, not knowing whether they were worshiping the river god or the mountain ghost.

The chief of Baimiao, Miao Ronggui, and the Miao girl's concubine were discussing something with some clan elders headed by the second uncle. The second uncle kept poking the ground with his cane, appearing agitated.

Auntie was in a dilemma, and suddenly caught a glimpse of her elder brother bringing Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo, her expression changed slightly, my God, brother, what are you doing, didn't you ask you to take him to another place to avoid it?Why did you bring people here? Isn't this asking for trouble?
As soon as Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of all the Miao people. Hundreds of eyes stared at them. Even the Miao people who were kneeling and worshiping the God of Mountain Ghosts and Rivers all stood up and looked sideways. , looking bad.

Second Uncle and those clan elders didn't have good eyesight, until Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo came close to realize that they all looked like fighting cocks.As the saying goes, people are old, fine, ghosts and old spirits. These clan elders all know that A Qing has gone to report the news, but they just pretend not to know and continue to argue with A concubine here, so that A Qing can have time to take people away, avoid confrontation, and let Everyone has a good face, but Ah Qing, a melon, not only didn't take these Han people away, but brought them here!
The second uncle was so angry that his beard was shaking, he poked his stick and said, "Xiaoqing, if you still dare to bring the Han people here, you won't be afraid that the river god will be angry and won't let the water come again? We have a whole village, and there are ten miles and eight villages." The people of your family depend on this river for their lives, do you want to kill us all?"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd became furious, and the surrounding Miao people gathered around, surrounded Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo, and shouted: "Han people leave our village! Han people leave our village!"

Miao Ronggui sighed secretly. He originally wanted to report to a few stubborn elders, but Gao Bufan ran away to seek guilt. Now that he has committed a lot of grievances, even if he is a chieftain, he cannot disobey the majority of the clansmen. wish.

Gao Bufan couldn't understand what the Miao people around him were shouting, but even if he understood, he wouldn't take it seriously, but Yang Qingruo's face was covered with frost. If it wasn't for worrying about ruining her husband, she would have drawn her sword in her hand .

"Master Gao, I'm sorry, for your safety, it's not suitable to stay here now, please forgive me!" Miao Ronggui cupped his hands at Gao Bufan.

Ah Qing said anxiously: "Father, don't listen to Second Uncle's nonsense. Brother Gao said that the river was cut off because the earth dragon turned over, and a mountain collapsed upstream, blocking the river."

When the second uncle heard this, he was angry, and he poked the ground with his crutches and said: "Stinky boy, second uncle, I am almost 80 years old, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and walked through more bridges than you There is still a long way to go, how old are you, what do you know? My second uncle, I have already warned you brothers and sisters, don’t bring the Han people back to the village, but you just don’t listen, look, if you don’t listen to the old man’s words, you will suffer in front of your eyes Well, now that the God of the River is angry, it is only proper to expel these Han Chinese, otherwise a greater disaster will befall us Miao people."

Ah Qing rolled his eyes and was about to argue, but was stopped by his father Miao Ronggui's stern eyes.

"Drive the Han people away, drive the Han people away!" The Miao people around shouted angrily, and some even wanted to move forward.

Miao Ronggui had no choice but to bite the bullet and said solemnly: "You two Gao Gongzi, please leave immediately, otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety."

Gao Bufan frowned imperceptibly, Yang Qingruo finally couldn't help it, and said coldly: "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost, big brother, let's go, let these ignorant idiots fend for themselves."

The faces of Miao Ronggui and Auntie could not help but change slightly, the difference is that the former is still showing anger, if Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo have saved their children, this white Miao chief might have a fit on the spot.

Gao Bufan sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Okay, I will take my leave, I am really sorry for causing trouble to Mr. Miao."

Miao Ronggui's expression slowed down, and he cupped his hands in return and said: "Young Master Gao, go slowly, I won't send you off soon!"

Gao Bufan was about to leave in front of Ah Qing, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother Gao, don't leave, tell them clearly."

Miao Ronggui's expression darkened and he said, "Ah Qing, why are you making trouble at this time, go aside."

"Wait a minute!" A voice sounded suddenly, and the Miao people who were present followed the prestige, and instantly became extremely respectful, bowed their heads and silently backed away, making way for the road.

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo raised their eyes and saw a witch with disheveled hair and a goat skull mask slowly coming down from the height. She was dressed in a pitch-black robe with bones wrapped around her neck, hands, waist, and ankles. She made a lot of noise when she walked, and when she came, it seemed that the surrounding air was a few degrees colder.

Miao Ronggui hurried forward to salute, even the stinky second uncle bowed his head in fear and respect, and other ordinary Miao people even knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing such a scene, Gao Bufan finally believed that the status of wizards in the hearts of Miao people was indeed very respected.

At this time, Ah Qing hurriedly introduced to Gao Bufan: "Brother Gao, this is our Baimiao wizard."

Gao Bufan clasped his fists as a salute and said, "I have met the noble wizard Your Excellency in Gao Shiji."

Miao Yingxiu glanced at Gao Bufan calmly, and said coldly: "Your Excellency is really called Gao Shiji, not Gao Changqing?"

Both Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo changed slightly, the latter subconsciously wanted to touch her bosom, Gao Bufan quickly and casually grabbed her hand.

Although Gao Bufan didn't know why Miao Yingxiu suddenly revealed his real name, he believed that the latter would definitely not want his life, because when Yang Qingruo was about to touch the container containing the mother's Gu in his bosom, he clearly caught it from Miao Yingxiu's eyes. A little bit of fear.

"How did you know?" Gao Bufan pretended to be panicked and asked back
Miao Yingxiu said coldly: "There is no one in the world, and there is nothing that can hide from the mountain ghost. I asked the mountain ghost specifically last night. Your name is not Gao Shiji, but Gao Changqing, Qi Wang Gao Changqing!"

As soon as these words came out, Miao Ronggui and Ah Qing brothers and sisters were all shocked, while the other Miao people showed awe, but the object of awe was not the king of Qi, but their great wizards who were able to communicate with mountain ghosts .

Gao Bufan already understood Miao Yingxiu's plan at this time, so he cooperated in fear: "The mountain ghost? Did the mountain ghost really tell you?"

Miao Yingxiu said indifferently: "You only need to answer yes or no!"

Gao Bufan's complexion fluctuated, then he cupped his hands and said respectfully: "There are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, that's right, this king is Gao Changqing."

Miao Ronggui and Auntie's father and daughter looked at Gao Bufan in shock. Although they had long guessed that Gao Bufan was not an unknown person, they did not expect that this son was actually the great lord who dominates the Central Plains—Qi Wang Gao Changqing.

Ah Qing was dazed for a long time before he stammered: "Gao... Brother Gao, are you really the lord of the Qi Kingdom, Gao Bufan, Gao Changqing?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "It's all fake, Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, this king didn't hide it on purpose, it's really that this king's identity cannot be revealed at will!"

"Understood, understood!" Ah Qing nodded fiercely, his heart was full of excitement, oh my god, brother Gao turned out to be the famous King of Qi, Gao Changqing, and it was like a dream that he could call such a person brothers and sisters.

Miao Ronggui cupped his hands and said with a serious expression: "Your Excellency is the King of Qi, Gao Changqing, like thunder, disrespect and disrespect!"

A concubine glanced at Yang Qingruo in a daze, since Gao Shiji is Qi Wang Gao Changqing, then who is this Gao Xiaofan?
The second uncle's old eyes squinted at Gao Bufan, and asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency is the famous King of Qi, what is the purpose of coming to our Miao Village?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "I want to teach my second uncle to know that my king came here without any malice."

The second uncle snorted slightly and said, "But when King Qi came, the river that nourished us Miao people for hundreds of years stopped flowing. How can this be explained?"

Gao Bufan said with a light smile: "Because God sent me to save you!"

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "This river is the mother river on which our Miao people live. The fields on both banks and the water we drink all come from this river. The source of our life was destroyed, King Qi only brought disaster to us, how dare you say he saved us?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "Second uncle, you are wrong, even if this king does not come, the river will still stop flowing, and it is because of this king that you can be saved from suffering. Come, I'm afraid that many people present will lose their lives."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the Miao people present who knew Chinese could not help but change drastically, and the second uncle was even more surprised, and asked in a deep voice: "What does King Qi mean?"

Gao Bufan said to A Qing: "Xiao Qing, tell everyone what I told you earlier."

A Qing quickly repeated what Gao Bufan said before in Miao language, and the Miao people present were skeptical after listening to it. If it was true what A Qing said, then this king of Qi, Gao Changqing, really saved everyone. Life.

Right now is the season when the rice is ripe, and everyone will start harvesting in the next few days. At that time, everyone is busy in the fields, and the upstream flood suddenly rushes in, causing absolutely heavy casualties.

Gao Bufan said indifferently: "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Your Majesty the Wizard, since Your Excellency the Wizard can communicate with the spirit mountain ghost, the Lord Mountain Ghost must have already told him about it."

As soon as these words came out, the second uncle and the others all looked at the witch Miao Yingxiu in unison.Miao Yingxiu glanced at Gao Bufan with complicated eyes, thinking, this guy is really cunning, he immediately knew that he was going to hit the snake with a stick, and said calmly: "This witch invited the mountain ghost last night, and the mountain ghost not only told me Regarding the matter of the king, he also mentioned that there will be a catastrophe coming to our Miao land in the near future, but King Qi will help us Miao people to resolve it. Now it seems that the disaster Mr. Shangui mentioned should refer to this matter. "

The Miao people were all in awe of the wizard. Since the wizard said so, they naturally believed it, so the eyes they looked at Gao Bufan changed and became much more kind.

Gao Bufan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, hey, it really was a blessing in disguise, he accidentally reported the witch Miao Yingxiu last night, and now with her cooperation, he easily fooled these Miao people.

Although Yang Qingruo has long been accustomed to Gao Bufan's omnipotence, this time he couldn't help but secretly lamented the bad guy's good luck, but this just proved that this man really has great luck, no matter what he does, he is as if divinely assisted.
