At the end of the Sui Dynasty

The next morning, the flood had basically receded, and the river had returned to its previous water level, but it was still very turbid, and it would take several days before it became clear again.The bamboo forest in front of the Miao village was severely damaged. The bamboos were rickety, and the original path could not be found. Moreover, the ground was full of mud after the flood, making it difficult to walk.

The worst thing is to count the rice in the field. The originally yellow and clear harvest scene is gone, replaced by a dilapidated swamp, the rice stalks are all down, submerged in the muddy mud and dead branches and leaves. The ears of rice are still standing tenaciously, and you can't even tell that this place was once a rice field.

The loss was heavy, Aqing brother and sister couldn't help crying, and Meng Zi felt heavy when he saw this. Baimiao's paddy fields were damaged by floods like this, and the downstream Heimiao's paddy fields must not be much better.

Thinking of this, Meng Zi was even more eager to return home. After saying goodbye to Gao Bufan and Miao Ronggui politely, he immediately left the Baimiao village with nearly a thousand black Miao people, stepping on the muddy water all over the ground, stepping deep Shallow foot to the downstream direction of the river.

As the saying goes: bear with the calm for a while, take a step back and broaden the sea and the sky.A considerable part of the hatred in the world is caused by the tit-for-tat and refusal to give an inch at the beginning of the conflict.The enmity between black seedlings and white seedlings is like this. In the beginning, there was a dispute because they crossed the border while fishing in the river. , and eventually became an inseparable feud.If one party had given in rationally during this process, perhaps it would not have led to such a bad result.

Yesterday, the Baimiao people allowed the Black Miao people to enter the stockade to avoid the flood, provided them with food, and allowed them to spend the night in the stockade. This act of repaying their hatred with kindness naturally touched some of the Black Miao people. The hatred towards the Baimiao people dissipated a lot, and they even took the initiative to say hello to the Baimiao people when they left.

Three days later, Gao Bufan finally met Meng Ge, the chieftain of the Black Miao. He personally came outside the Bai Miao Village to ask for an interview. He also asked his tribe to send [-] loads of rice and two cattle as compensation to Bai Miao.

In this way, the atmosphere between the two parties became more harmonious, so Miao Ronggui took advantage of the opportunity to invite Meng Ge to the village as a guest, and Gao Bufan, as the peacemaker of the meeting, naturally had to be in the middle to accompany him.

Meng Ge is about 40 years old, and his body is covered with scars. Although he has a strong body, he still looks very weak at the moment, but it is not surprising. This person is already considered strong, and it is normal to be weak after only a few days of detoxification.

With the support of his son Mengzi, Brother Meng first bowed deeply to Gao Bufan, and said gratefully: "Thank you His Highness Qi Wang for saving my son's life under the tiger's mouth, and also thank His Highness Qi Wang for helping to find out the inside of Heimiao. Meng Shu, a spy of the Han Dynasty, stopped a serious bloody conflict in time, His Royal Highness Qi Wang is not only the benefactor of our father and son, but also the savior of all the Hemiao people downstream!"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Meng Dang's words are serious. I have the audacity to be a peacemaker. I hope that Hei Miao and Bai Miao can shake hands and make peace. From now on, we can turn hostility into friendship and live in peace with each other. I don't know what Meng Dang's plan is?"…

Meng Ge sighed lightly and said: "In Linjiang County, the grievances between the black Miao and the white Miao have lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the conflicts have continued every year, which has brought great losses and troubles to both clans. Brother Arong and I have long intended to resolve it, but there is a deep grievance among the tribe, and it is too difficult to convince everyone, but the great flood three days ago brought an opportunity, and with the face of His Royal Highness King Qi, It is a good time for the two families to resolve their century-old grievances, so I absolutely agree."

Gao Bufan said happily: "So that's the case, that would be great, I don't know what the clan elders in the black seedlings mean?"

Meng Ge nodded and said: "They also agreed, but the dispute between the black seedlings and the white seedlings was caused by the river. In order to prevent conflicts from happening again, I think it is necessary for the two parties to agree on the boundaries of the rivers and what should be done in case of conflicts." How to solve."

Miao Ronggui heard the words and said solemnly: "I also mean the same."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Since the two heads of the family agree, it will be easy to deal with. Later, Hei Miao and Bai Miao each consulted with respected people in the clan to delineate the boundaries of the river and discuss how to use the river water in a standardized manner. When a dispute arises, the solution should be written down in black and white at the end, and signed by both parties, how about this king entrusting you to be a notary?"

Miao Ronggui and Meng Ge said happily: "With King Qi as a notary, it's naturally very desirable."

Immediately, the two leaders, Hei Miao and Bai Miao, made an appointment to discuss further in detail tomorrow.

Three days later, Hei Miao and Bai Miao finally settled the negotiation, demarcated the boundary of the river, and made an agreement in three chapters. The notary Gao Bufan personally wrote the document, and then signed by the three parties in triplicate. Hei Miao and Bai Miao each took one copy. The notary Gao Bufan also kept a copy.

In this way, the centuries-old grievances between the black Miao and the white Miao were completely resolved, and the people of the two races were very happy. After all, no one wanted to bleed themselves or their family members in endless conflicts, or even lose their lives.

Coincidentally, the day after the settlement agreement was signed between Hei Miao and Bai Miao is the Miao people's Autumn Festival, which is an important festival for Miao people to celebrate the harvest.Under the discussion of the heads of the two families, the Heimiao and Baimiao jointly held a "friendship" event to celebrate the Autumn Festival together. As a result, for nearly a hundred years, young men and women of Heimiao and Baimiao in Linjiang County For the first time, they danced and danced hand in hand, as the so-called opposite sex attracts, a lot of sparks naturally sparked during it.

Miao girls were enthusiastic and bold, and there was an endless stream of people who came to invite Yang Qingruo to dance, but "he" ruthlessly rejected them all. Of course, there were many Miao girls who invited Gao Bufan to dance, but under Yang Qingruo's calm gaze, someone immediately He justly rejected these enthusiastic young ladies.

Seeing that they couldn't invite Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo, the Miao girls had to retreat and invite Gao Bufan's personal soldiers Gao Dahe and Gao Zhun, and even Xu Shi, whose head was still wrapped in bandages, received the invitation.

By the way, Xu Shi is quite a coquettish kid. Although his head is wrapped like a San, he jumps with a good look, and from time to time he will show a difficult movement, such as moving his head to the left and back, or standing alone. The feet spun independently, which attracted screams from the audience, and of course, Miao Nu's glances were also harvested wave after wave. …

Gao Bufan was also a little stunned, and murmured: "I have such talents under my king, Niu Bi, Qing Ruo, why don't you come on stage and do a sword dance, and kill Xu Shi's limelight, so that this kid won't turn his tail up." God!"

Yang Qing laughed softly: "I want to go by myself, don't you know that... hip-hop dance?"

Thinking of the "rolling all over the floor" performed by Gao Bufan in private, Yang Qingruo couldn't help covering her small mouth and laughing out loud, instantly revealing her femininity.

Gao Bufan secretly sweats, who has never been young. In his previous high school, in order to be cool in front of his favorite female classmate, he taught himself half a bucket of street dance, which is "rolling all over the floor" in Yang Qingruo's eyes!
"Hey, forget it, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to appreciate such an advanced dance." Gao Bufan coughed lightly, and said righteously.

Yang Qingruo laughed so hard that she almost shed tears when she heard the words. At this moment, a Miao girl came to her, looking at her with red eyes.

Yang Qingruo was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face faded instantly, and immediately changed from the peerless Gongsun family back to the "ruthless brother" Gao Xiaofan.

At this moment, the Miao girl walking in front of Yang Qingruo is none other than Auntie. It can be seen that Auntie has been well-dressed and looks more and more fresh. Like a slim lotus, she is full of youth and beauty, but her eyes are red, and her expression is quite strange, like shame and anger, joy and sadness.

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that the Dongchuang incident happened, and sure enough, Auntie gritted her teeth and asked, "Gao Xiaofan, are you a woman?"

Yang Qingruo nodded helplessly and said: "My name is not Gao Xiaofan, Yang Qingruo is my real name."

"Yang Qingruo!" Auntie said a few words silently, then turned and ran away with her face covered.

Aqing, this kid didn't know where to rush over, and shouted at Yang Qingruo angrily: "Gao Xiaofan, you dare to pretend to be a man to deceive my sister's feelings, please forgive me!" After speaking, he punched him.

Gao Bufan couldn't help crying and laughing, stretched out his hand to hold Ah Qing's fist, pulled him aside and whispered a few words, and then the kid left happily, looking quite happy.

Yang Qingruo couldn't help asking curiously: "Gao Lang, what did you say to this idiot?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "I told him that there are many talented people under my king's command, and there are a lot of people who are capable of writing and military. A wishful gentleman, um, he has a good career record, this guy has too high vision, he still refuses to get married, and his old father Xu Gai is so worried, this king is sympathetic to his subordinates, and decided to help him Bundle."

Yang Qingruo couldn't help laughing, and reminded: "Gao Lang, don't mess with the mandarin ducks."

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, when the time comes, I'll take Auntie back, and I'm sure those guys will fight for it."
