Adoption brings disaster

The school here is not far from Miaojiang, and I was anxious. The escort company had prepared horses on the official road, and Qingyu and I took the shortest path on the small road using our lightness skills.

After traveling day and night like this, they were really exhausted. They just took a rest in the carriage on a small section of the official road for a while, and then continued to travel like crazy. Finally, they arrived at the Miao border on the third day.

At the gate of the border post station, Ada had already prepared three good horses waiting for us.

I looked at Ah Da with some surprise and asked, "Why are you here when you're not in the capital with His Royal Highness Prince Yong?"

After saying that, I looked at his clothes and it seemed that he had been here for more than a day or two.

"The world of martial arts is dangerous. His Highness Prince Yong asked me to follow him and serve as a bodyguard." Ah Da helped me onto the horse and said.

I originally didn't want to bring Ah Da with me, but when I thought about it, although Ah Da's martial arts and lightness skills were only second-rate, he had actually been on the battlefield and killed people, so he could still be of great use when necessary.

I know in my heart that no matter how much I shout and scream, no matter how murderous I am, when it comes to really killing someone, I still can't do it. Some things still require killing to stop killing.

I thought to myself, if A-Da had always been by my side, when my junior sister slandered me before, A-Da would have killed her without hesitation, so how could all these things happen later? Thinking of this, I didn't say anything more and just agreed to let A-Da follow me.

The three of us didn't say a word along the way, just rode our horses and hurried on. After half a day, we arrived at the last post station. After resting for a night, we walked on the rugged mountain road for another half a day and finally arrived at the Miao village where the Gu King was.

Standing outside the Miao village, I could hear laughter and joyful chatter from inside. This festive atmosphere made me feel a lot more relaxed.

He showed a rare smile in the past few days and said, "Is there any celebration in the Miao village? It sounds very interesting." After that, he walked in.

"Your Highness, the village is celebrating the Beggar Woman's Festival these past two days." Ah Da hurried over to my side and whispered, "Your Highness, the customs in the Miao area are different from ours. You should pay more attention."

"I know, I know. When in Rome, do as the Romans do." I said nonchalantly and continued walking forward. "We are now children of the Jianghu. Don't keep calling me Your Highness. Just call me Qianqiu. I really think it's against etiquette. You can follow the escort and call me boss, or Qingyu and call me principal, but you can't call me Your Highness."

"Your Highness." Seeing that I didn't take it seriously, Ada came over nervously and said.

Seeing Ah Da disobeying, I was also a little annoyed, so I said with a stern face: "If you call your highness again, go back by yourself. I don't need someone who doesn't obey me."

Seeing that I was getting angry, Ah Da was helpless and could only shout, "Boss, everything else is fine, after all, our palace still has some face, but you absolutely cannot accept the embroidered bouquet."

"I came here to ask the Gu King to save Qianqiu. Why would I go to receive the embroidered ball?" I said unhappily. "Do you want to stay in the village and be a son-in-law?"

"Your Highness, ah, no." Ah Da said happily when he saw me say this, "It's good that the boss understands, it's good that he understands."

After entering the village, the three of us wandered around the Miao village for half an incense stick of time, but didn't meet anyone.

It turned out that the Miao people were all attending the celebration in the center of the village. As I got closer, I was even more infected by the joyous atmosphere. The Gu King lived in the innermost part of the village and could only be reached through the theater in the center. It was a good opportunity for me to take a look.

When I got closer, I saw about twenty little girls standing on the stage, all of them dressed in gorgeous clothes and with jewelry all over their heads and necks.

There was a girl who stood the tallest, was dressed the most gorgeously, and had a laughter as sweet as a silver bell. Just listening to her made people happy and they wanted to marry her home.

The place was filled with young men, all of them full of energy and smiling, waiting for the girl above to throw the bouquet.

Among them, one young man was the most eye-catching. You could tell he was a handsome guy just by looking at his profile.

Looking at the bulging muscles in his arms and his confident and assertive demeanor while talking and laughing, it all shows that he is an expert at his job.

Moreover, his status in the village must be quite high. There were several young men around him, talking and laughing, and he only responded with a word from time to time. It was obvious that he had the air of a leader.

There were many uncles, aunts, and grandpas standing around, singing some folk songs that I couldn't understand along with the musicians' tunes. Although the folk songs were loud and clear and not worthy of being performed in a high-class hall, the echo in the mountains was also hard to resist for elegant songs.

I don't really like listening to songs, and after listening to a few sentences I didn't understand, so I lost interest. In addition, the Qianxi matter needed to be finalized quickly, so I continued to move forward under the leadership of Ada.

"Brother Qianqiu." A girl on the stage saw me and shouted excitedly.

I turned around and saw a hydrangea flying towards me. I subconsciously caught it and hugged the woman who threw herself on me.

"Brother Qianqiu, you are finally here." The sunlight magnified the woman's smile countless times, and it dazzled me so much that I could only stare at her.

"It's really beautiful." I looked at it with joy in my heart and said it as if possessed by some unknown force.

"Brother Qianqiu looks better." The woman got off me, took my hand and said happily.

The glare of the sun was gone from the woman's face, and I could finally get a good look at her. Her features bore a striking resemblance to the Gu King's granddaughter, and since she looked so familiar to me, I naturally knew who she was. I smiled and said, "Duoduo, long time no see."

"Brother Qianqiu, long time no see." Duoduo shook my arm and said, "Brother Qianqiu, let's go, let's go back." After that, she pulled me forward.

"Boss." Ada's tone was full of fear and despair.

"Boss." Qingyu's tone was also full of anger.

Listening to their voices, I remembered what Ada said when we entered the village, that we must not accept the bouquet.

I looked at the girls on the stage around me. They were all smiling brightly and asking Duoduo to treat them to candy.

The young men under the stage looked at me angrily, especially the prominent young man.

As for the people on both sides, some were curious, some were unwilling, and some were even happy.

I awkwardly stuffed the hydrangea into Duoduo's arms and tentatively asked, "I just arrived in the village and don't know your rules. Are outsiders not allowed to receive this hydrangea? Is it too late for me to return it to you now?"

"What can't be accepted? I can accept it." As he said this, he stuffed the hydrangea back into my hand. "If you return it to me in front of so many people, I will die. Brother Qianqiu, are you really so cruel?"

Duoduo's playful words put my mind at ease. Although the Miao village is weak now, I have nothing to be afraid of. But now I am asking the Gu King to do something, so I still have to consider his face.

I let Duoduo pull me forward, listening to the chattering sounds from Duoduo's mouth and responding from time to time. It felt quite comfortable.

"You outsider, how dare you accept the bouquet from our Saint?" A group of young men blocked our way and cursed us viciously, "The Saint can only marry the son of our Miao King. You outsider, quickly bring the bouquet over, or you'll get a beating for nothing."

It has been many years since I have heard such overbearing words. I was not annoyed for a moment, but just looked at the people in front of me with interest, and then turned my head to look at Duoduo beside me.

Duoduo saw me looking at him and thought I was worried about her. She also looked at the men in front of her and sneered, "How come I haven't heard of this rule in the village?"

After saying that, Duoduo put her hands on her hips and took a step forward, saying, "I'm telling you, in Tangshan, the rule in the village is that whoever accepts the embroidered ball gets to marry. Do you still want to snatch it away openly?"

"Your Highness, we are now asking the Gu King to heal Qianxi, so it would be better not to offend the Miao King's son." Ah Da said, "Otherwise, we should return the hydrangea to them."

It boosts others' ambitions while destroying your own prestige. After hearing what Ada said, I was very annoyed. I glared at Ada fiercely, thinking to myself, why is he so cowardly now?

"What Ada said makes sense. They are numerous and powerful. Principal, we'd better stay away from them for the time being." Qingyu also advised.

I rolled my eyes at Qingyu, thinking to myself, I remember that the God of Death was a man who didn't care about his life, so how come the apprentice he brought up was so weak and afraid of this and that.

The group of people in front of them were very proud after hearing what Ada and Qingyu said.

A man said, "That's right, don't be alive to catch the bouquet, but you won't be alive to marry the bride."

Another one also said: "Look at his stick-like body, how can he compare to our Shan Ge? I'm afraid he will die of exhaustion in bed on the first night. Sister Duoduo, listen to my advice, Shan Ge is still the best, this outsider is unreliable."

………………

The more they spoke, the dirtier their words became. Although Duoduo was a tough girl, she still couldn't win against them.

I stared at them with a sinister look in my eyes. The poisonous anaconda waved its hand and a large stone slab next to it broke into several pieces.

Seeing my extraordinary strength, several people were shocked and quickly retreated, leaving Tang Shan in front.

I looked at the dumbstruck people in front of me and sneered, "If you think I'm weak, you can fight me. One on one or all at once, I can handle it."

Just when Tang Shan didn't know what to do, someone suddenly said in a kind tone, "Shan'er, he is the Gu King's friend and a distinguished guest of the village. Don't be rude to him. Get out of the way."

A man walked out of the crowd, who looked very similar to Tangshan. When everyone saw him, they respectfully called him "King Miao".

Seeing the visitor was polite, I naturally responded politely, clasped my fists and said, "I was invited by Duoduo to stay in the village for a while. I absolutely have no intention of provoking the village. I hope King Miao will forgive me if I was disrespectful.

King Miao looked at me and said nothing. He just took his son and left.

"Ada, you don't need to come with me. Go find a good stone and give it to them as compensation." I looked at Qingyu and Ada and said, "Qingyu doesn't need to come with me either. Go see if there's anyone in the village who needs help and help them."

Although A Da Qingyu was reluctant to leave, it was my order and he had no choice but to obey.

There are not many people in the Miao village, but the village is very large, and the Gu King lives in a remote place. It took a long time to walk to where the Gu King lives. Duoduo knocked on the door, and the Gu King inside allowed her to open the door and take me in.

I looked at the dilapidated gate and said worriedly, "If we encounter thieves or wild animals, this door would be worse than nothing. I'd better have someone repair it."

"Hahahahaha." Duoduo laughed, "Not everyone can enter this room. It's because I'm the Gu King's granddaughter, and I need grandma's permission to enter. Even if others get permission, the little treasure in this room will ask him to leave something for them."

I looked at the spotless house, feeling a chill, and said, "Where is the little treasure in this house? Why don't I see it?"

"You can't see Gu with your naked eyes, for example, here."

After Duoduo finished speaking, she touched me, scaring me so much that my whole body started to itch. Seeing me scratching, she laughed and said, "Qianqiu, you are so funny. The Gu in your body is what I use to protect you. It won't bite you at all."

I know they won't bite me, but that doesn't stop me from feeling uncomfortable.

I adjusted my mindset, sat up straight, and said, "Senior Gu Wang, I came here this time not only because of Duoduo's invitation from earlier years, but also because I have a favor to ask of you. I have a friend."

I was interrupted by the Gu King before I could finish my words, "I have already made a rule not to save Han people. Don't think that just because you deceived Duoduo and have the prince backing you up, I am afraid of you."

"I have also heard about the grievances between you and the prince. If I were not really desperate, I would not come to bother you. I hope that you will save my friend for the sake of saving a life being better than building a seven-story pagoda." After saying that, I kowtowed to the bottom.

"If you say you won't save me, then go away."

After she finished speaking, a strange noise came from inside the house, scaring Duoduo so much that her face turned pale. She wanted to pull me out, but she couldn't, so she could only shout, "Grandma, don't do it! He took my hydrangea."

The room fell silent. The Gu King looked at Duoduo and asked, "What did you say?"

"Grandma, Brother Qianqiu accepted my embroidered bouquet. If he dies, I will have to remain a widow."

I could clearly feel the Gu King's breath fluctuating greatly, but I didn't dare to speak. It was like I was going to meet my mother-in-law. Whether I said anything or not, it would be wrong. I could only accept it.

"If you are willing to marry Duoduo, I will help you once and save your friend." The Gu King said in a compromising manner.

Duoduo is beautiful and has inherited all the witchcraft skills from the King of Gu. Moreover, the women in the village are all very virtuous and hardworking. Even if Qianxi had not happened, marrying Duoduo would be a great thing.

Without even thinking, I said, "Please rest assured, Gu King. I will definitely treat Duoduo well for the rest of my life."

"You go back first. I'll prepare some things to save him," the Gu King said. "Duoduo, stay here. Since he accepted your embroidered ball, you two shouldn't see each other for the next few days. Be careful not to anger the Gu God."

Since I was going to marry Duoduo, I also had a lot of things to do, so I simply stood up, bowed and left.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
