The following day.
When the royal court began to wake up each morning, there was really no one coming over except the tribal chiefs who came in to report some of the things that had happened in the tribe yesterday, and the office in charge of the foreign business side.
The chief frowned: “What’s going on? Weren’t the foreign businessmen very happy yesterday? Why is there no movement today?”
The head of the inner court was covered in cold sweat.
“In reply to the king’s words, we have already gone there this morning to ask, that second young master of the God family has said that their brother and sister have vomited their hearts and souls for our wai, and in the end they have to be scolded, they can’t afford to serve, they don’t care, they want to talk business, tell us to go ourselves!”
“……”
The hall was in uproar!
However, one had to admit that it was really overbearing and tugging, perfectly in line with Mo Bao’s style.
If you dare to bully his sister, there is no way!
The chief’s face turned ugly on the spot, and he turned his head and looked at his son who was sitting in the seat below him.
“Rog, what the hell is going on here? Why did you get into a conflict with that little girl yesterday for no reason at all? You can’t make a mistake on such a big matter even if you don’t like it any more.”
The anger was so strong that everyone in the hall dared not squeak.
But the teenager, however, was still sitting there expressionless.
“She instigated Nige to steal a chicken, and that can’t even be said?”
“Nige? So it’s that little wretch again, men, tie her up, throw her on the slab and give her twenty strokes of the board to make amends to that brother and sister!”
The chief, when he heard that the cause of the incident was his own little daughter, was so angry that he immediately ordered that child to be beaten twenty times, not even thinking about the fact that she was only a seven year old child.
The young man’s eyes immediately shot towards him.
He stared at him, and his eyes, which were instantly filled with scarlet, were like those of an enraged beast, and all that rolled out was a terrifying killing aura that destroyed the heavens and the earth.
“You try.”
“……”
The chieftain was silenced.
And those chiefs in the hall, moreover, after drawing a cold breath backwards, they stared at this teenager, feeling a creepiness from their bones that was even more terrifying than his father’s.
For, this teenager was not the one they had casually executed five years ago.
He had turned into a little wolf cub.
And a very fierce one at that, knowing that when they had rescued him, they had been on the verge of killing everyone in that forest, if they hadn’t run out of strength at the end.
He would not have fallen into their hands.
The chief also had an old face that rose to red.
“Then what do you think we should do? Those foreign businessmen, and we don’t understand them, before you advised me that if the tribe wanted to get out of this backward situation, they had to open their doors and cooperate with those people, so now that their brother and sister are not helping us, and we have no experience in dealing with those foreign businessmen, what do you think we should do?”
“……”
The teenager’s two beams of cold, biting eyes finally retracted.
“I will go to them, and this matter, will be handled by myself, but you listen to me carefully, you will not touch a hair of Nige’s head, or I will not let you go.”
He threw down another nonchalant sentence.
Then, standing up from the king’s chair, he took his entourage and went out of the hall.
The chief behind him was so angry that his face was full of iron fists!
“How dare he threaten me? Does he have enough to live for?”
“King, calm down, calm down, Xilang is also worried about his sister, it’s understandable, as long as he can take care of this matter, then it will be a meritorious redemption.”
When the head of the inner court saw this, he hurriedly came forward again to advise.
Atonement!
They really thought that this was the imperial system of the ancient feudal period, where a father was always saying the word “death”.
Even his own children are like this.
And these people, who treat themselves as subjects, can even say words like “redeeming merit for sin”.
What an irony!
—
The tribal office.
Ruo Ruo did not go this morning, actually because she overslept.
She did come back yesterday angry and sad, and then her brother took her to town and then the two siblings found a nice meal at a farmhouse there.
Ruo Ruo also drank a little of the local sweet wine.
Then she got drunk and slept until now.
“Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo?”
“Hmm?”
She was lying in bed, dazed, when she heard someone calling her, and only then did she open her sleepy eyes and look at the person who had come to wake her up.
“What’s wrong?”
“The sun is shining and you’re still not up? The chief’s son has come to the door and is waiting downstairs.”
The person who came to call her was none other than the staff here in the provincial capital. At this moment, after seeing that she had finally woken up, she said in a hurry.
Ruoruo: “……”
Wait a minute, who is the chief’s son again?
She had just woken up from her sleep, and she, who always had a long reflex arc, hadn’t reacted yet.
Until, as if in her ears, she heard the sound of talking downstairs again.
“Excuse me, little chief, our little girl Ruo Ruo is not up yet, I have sent someone to call, you wait a little longer.”
“Is she still here?”
“Yes, she ran out to dinner with her brother last night, and when she came back, she said she had drunk too much sweet wine at someone else’s house, and was carried back by her brother, so she slept until now.”
The man downstairs explained with embarra*sment.
