At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Gao Bufan didn't deny it, but repeated calmly: "Let your men put down their bows and arrows."

Sun Meng hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand and said, "All put down your bows and arrows, and step back."

The archers of Tang Jun lowered their hands after hearing the sound, and slowly retreated a certain distance.Gao Bufan also let go of Sun Meng, and said with a smile: "That's right, those who know affairs are heroes, and Captain Sun is worthy of being a hero among heroes."

A look of shame flashed across Sun Meng's face. The reason why he chose to compromise was not because he was afraid of death, but because Gao Bufan's identity was too frightening. Tang and Gao Qi signed a peace treaty some time ago, currently Li Tang is keeping a low profile and can't conflict with Gao Qi for the time being.

The county Wei Yueshao was also very shocked at this time, the young man dressed as a scribe in front of him turned out to be the famous King Gao Changqing of Qi, tsk tsk, he is quite courageous, as the lord of a country, he sneaked into Bashu alone, isn't he afraid of giving his life to him? confessed?

At this time, Gao Bufan said calmly: "Go back and tell Li Xiaogong not to meddle in the affairs of the Miao people, and not to play any tricks, this is his advice, go!"

Sun Meng's complexion fluctuated, and finally he cupped his hands and said: "I will bring the words to you." After speaking, he turned around disheveledly and waved his hands: "Withdraw!"

Seeing this, Yue Shao, the county captain, didn't dare fart, and immediately turned around and left. At this moment, Meng Shu, who was itching to death, shouted: "County Yue, save me! Help me!"

"Who are you?" Yue Shao asked in amazement, obviously he couldn't recognize him for a while, because Meng Shu had already scratched his face so bloody that it was beyond recognition.

"Lieutenant Yue County, I'm Meng Shu, please help me, it's so itchy—I'm itching to death!" Meng Shu howled in pain.

County Captain Yue's face changed slightly, he turned his head and left without saying a word.Seeing such a scene, Meng Zi knew what was going on no matter how stupid he was, and shouted sharply: "Surnamed Yue, stop for me, did you instigate Meng Shu to poison my father, and then took the opportunity to provoke Hei Miao and Bai? The fighting between the seedlings, you come here to clean up the mess in a hypocritical manner, and act as a fake good person to buy people's hearts?"

"Nonsense, I don't know Mengshu at all." Yue Shao said so, but he left quickly, obviously guilty.

Meng Shu was already itching to death, seeing that Captain Yue didn't care about his own life, he immediately went all out, and said loudly: "Meng Zi, it was indeed Yue Shao who ordered me to do it, and he gave me the poisonous powder. Said that as long as the chieftain is poisoned to death and a war between the two Miao people is provoked, he will come forward to clean up the mess, and then let me be the great chieftain of all the Miao people."

As soon as this remark came out, both Hei Miao and Bai Miao were angry, and someone shouted: "Kill the dog officer, kill the dog officer!"

In an instant, the crowd was raging, and those Miao people held up hatchets and dung forks, and gnashed their teeth to surround them. Yue Xianwei was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he ran away with his feet, but his feet slipped and fell into the paddy field, turning into a drowned chicken. Those clerks hurried forward to help him up and fled, even his shoes ran away, so embarrassing that people laughed.

Sun Meng was obviously also worried that the Miao people would take the opportunity to kill them, so he immediately ordered the formation to be on full alert. After the swords, shields and hands were broken, the archers followed to cover, and slowly retreated to the foot of Maofeng Mountain.

Mengzi's face was gloomy, and he was eager to try, but Gao Bufan put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Let them go, the Tang army is brave and good at fighting, and the equipment is not comparable to that of your Miao people. It's just asking for trouble by rushing up at this time."

Hearing this, Meng Zi nodded unwillingly. If he was in the jungle, he would not pay attention to the hundreds of Tang troops, but in the open area, the Miao soldiers under him were really no match for the Tang troops.

Seeing the officers and soldiers receding, Miao Ronggui couldn't help looking at Gao Bufan with a little more awe. He had only heard of Gao Bufan's reputation before, but now he saw the mighty Tang Jun retreating in front of Gao Bufan with his own eyes. Now that he has realized how majestic this son is, and Gao Bufan's unfathomable skills and clever means have also left a deep impression on him, this son actually managed to find out the black seedlings in three rounds. The inner ghost successfully resolved the conflict between the black seedlings and the white seedlings, cleanly and without delay.

Tsk tsk, with this extraordinary courage, tyrannical skill, and superhuman wisdom, it's no wonder that this son can be undefeated, defeat all opponents, and dominate the Central Plains.From this point of view, it is only a matter of time before this son wipes out the group of lords and dominates the world!

Thinking of this, Miao Ronggui couldn't help but make up his mind!

At this time, the ground suddenly shook slightly, as if there was faint thunder coming from a distance, everyone couldn't help being shocked, thinking that another earth dragon had turned over again, but at this time there was a wave of turbulent waves upstream, and the water head was less It is said to be one or two meters high, and at the turn of the river, it directly splashed more than ten meters of turbid waves. Wherever it passed, stones were moved and forests were destroyed, and bamboo trees along the banks of the river were broken one after another, making bursts of crackling waves. bang.

"No, the flood is coming, hurry back to the village!" Ah Qing yelled.

The people of Bai Miao hurriedly ran to the high place of the stockade. For a while, Meng Zi was still hesitating, but Gao Bufan had already shouted: "At this time, don't distinguish between white and black seedlings. Survival is the most important thing. Hurry up!" Enter the stockade."

Meng Zi suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly called out loudly: "The flood is coming, everyone hurry to the top of the stockade to take shelter!" After speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the gate of the stockade, and other Hei Miao tribesmen also hurriedly fled into the Miao stockade.

The Baimiao people were naturally unhappy and tried to stop them, but they were stopped by the chief Miao Ronggui.

The flood came quickly and destroyed the bamboo forest in front of the Miao Village in the blink of an eye. Under the majestic impact, some bamboos were even uprooted. Everyone even saw huge stones being pushed forward by the flood. The end is extremely scary.

Hei Miao came to attack Bai Miao this time, mobilized thousands of people, and most of them fled to the hillside where the Miao village is located. gone.

The worst ones were those Tang soldiers, who were evacuating among the paddy fields, when the flood came suddenly, without even a chance to run, they were washed up in pieces in an instant, and only dozens of people escaped. Retrieve a life from a high place.

After the majestic and violent head of water, the flood seems to be "gentle", but the water level is still rising sharply, submerging the lower bamboo buildings, and everyone can only retreat to a higher place.

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo stood at the highest point in the village, behind the witch Miao Yingxiu's bamboo building, looking down from here condescendingly, they could see everything around them, but saw that the continuous rice fields below had been completely submerged , became a swamp country, countless sundries, and the corpses of various animals floating on the water and rolling down...

Gao Bufan couldn't help sighing secretly, how insignificant human beings are in front of nature, Yang Qingruo said in a low voice: "That Tang army is finished!"

But Meng Zi said happily: "It's what it deserves, it's best to drown the dog official Yue Shao, this flood came well."

But Miao Ronggui sighed and said: "The rice will be harvested soon, but now it is completely destroyed, and the tribe will be hungry in the second half of the year."

Meng Zi couldn't laugh when he heard the words, the settlement of Heimiao was in the downstream, there were more people, more paddy fields, and the loss was naturally greater.

Gao Bufan comforted: "The flood came quickly, and it must go quickly. When the flood recedes, we will rush to harvest it immediately to minimize the loss as much as possible."

Meng Zi said helplessly: "That's the only way to go."

At this time, there was a sound of "de" from behind, and the witch Miao Yingxiu, who was wearing a bone string all over her body, came out, and everyone in Baimiao saluted, even Mengzi was no exception, which shows the status of wizards in the hearts of Miao people It was indeed very high. Even though there was a grudge between the black seedlings and the white seedlings, they still respected each other's wizards.

The witch looked at the mighty flood below the hillside, and said in a deep voice: "The mountain ghost's prophecy has indeed come true, but the arrival of King Qi not only resolved one catastrophe for our village, but resolved two catastrophes."

is not that right?The first catastrophe was the sudden flood from the upper reaches, and the second was the large-scale invasion of the Hei Miao people. If King Qi hadn't taken action to resolve it, I'm afraid that many people in the village would die in the end!

Thinking of this, all the Miao people gave Gao Bufan a grateful look, including those clan elders including the second uncle.

At this time, the witch said again: "The mountain ghost entrusted me with a dream last night. The century-old grievances between the white and black seedlings should be resolved. Both the white seedlings and the black seedlings are part of the Miao people and have a common cause." Our ancestors should not let the hatred continue, let the hatred and disasters stop in our generation, what do the chieftains and the elders think?"

Miao Ronggui sighed and said: "It's time to end, the descendants of our Miao people should not kill each other again."

The second uncle and other clan elders remained silent, and the witch said indifferently: "Don't you want to believe what the mountain ghost says?"

The clan elders immediately softened when they heard the words, and the old stubborn second uncle said in a sly way: "Of course we believe in mountain ghosts, but even if we Bai Miao agree to resolve it, the Hei Miao may not be willing."

Witch Wang and Gao Bufan said: "The mountain ghost said that the appearance of King Qi was to resolve the century-old grievances between Hei Miao and Bai Miao. Since the mountain ghost said so, I think King Qi must be able to do it."

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he smiled and said: "As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If the grudge between the black and white miao can be resolved, and the two races can avoid killing each other, it will undoubtedly be a supreme merit. This king is obliged to do so."

The witch nodded and said, "Thank you King Qi."

"I leave everything to His Royal Highness King Qi." Miao Ronggui saluted solemnly.

Gao Bufan accepted the gift calmly, and turned to face the pensive Mengzi, and said: "Mengzi, you heard it too, this king wants to be a peacemaker to resolve the grievances between you black seedlings and white seedlings, you can discuss it with your father after you go back. For a moment, if the two clans are willing to turn their hostility into friendship from now on, this king will make an appointment for your father and Miao Dangjia to sit down and have a talk."

Meng Zi nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Father."
