famous eldest daughter

Chapter 189 Memory
Fortunately, there were not many books about Miao territory in the study. I opened them one by one, and the more I read, the more shocked I became.

The Miao people have worshiped ghosts and gods since ancient times, and the surrounding tribes have unprecedented fear and worship of the Wu tribe. In their minds, the Wu tribe is comparable to the gods of heaven and earth, sent by God to rule, govern and punish them.

The people's admiration for the Wu Clan also makes them arrogant and proud, and they regard human life as nothing.

In order to show the nobility and distinctiveness of the Wu tribe, the Wu tribe created a totem with complicated patterns, called the pattern of heaven and earth. Only the Wu tribe can possess such carvings.

It's just that the witch clan is also divided into three, six, and nine grades, and clansmen of different levels use different totems. The box Gu Yuqing found was carved with patterns, as Xiao Yu said, exclusive to the highest rank of the witch clan. ruler.

The records of the Wu Clan in the book only stop at the previous dynasty. In this dynasty, no records about the Wu Clan can be found.

The things recorded in the Miao border are just local customs and interesting anecdotes, with no other differences.

It must be related to the battle that completely destroyed the Wu clan.

After all, the leaders were captured alive, and the mysterious secrets about the Wu Clan were revealed to the world. The Wu Clan was like a colorful and luxurious bubble that was suddenly popped with a needle and ceased to exist.

In this world, there is no such thing as so-called witchcraft and spells. The so-called witchcraft is nothing more than the poisoning skills passed down by the witch tribe for hundreds of years.

Using poison to kill people and using poison to treat people is exactly the same as what Xiao Yu said.

There is a record about the women of the Wu tribe in the book. In order to keep the blood of the Wu tribe pure and noble and the heirs prosperous, the women of the Wu tribe must never go out or get married. Every woman of the Wu tribe, starting from the age of 13, must be willing to do so throughout her life. Serve countless wizard men until they are no longer able to have children.

When such handwriting fell into his eyes, Gu Yuqing felt that his limbs were all broken, and he was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

This is what they think of women!Is it specially used to give birth to children?
In shock, Gu Yuqing's fingers pinched the page and she couldn't help but pull out a corner.

However, not all women have to suffer such cruel torture, the leader is an exception.

The leader has his own wife and concubines. The girls born from the concubines have no privileges like ordinary women. The girls born from the wives are called saints and cannot be touched by men throughout their lives. They are born It is to be the incarnation of the gods of heaven and earth who accept the worship of all people.

It is said in the book that another difference between the saint and others is that the handkerchief she uses cannot be embroidered with other patterns, and can only be embroidered with the totems of her clan to show her nobility.

You can only embroider totem handkerchiefs!

handkerchief!

Gu Yuqing's heart shrank, and she suddenly remembered the Miao woman that Nanny Huang talked about last night. According to Nanny Huang, every handkerchief she used was embroidered with totem patterns, without exception.

day!
For a moment, as if there was blood flowing in his body, Gu Yuqing stared at the writing on the book, feeling out of breath.

The Miao woman appeared in Kyoto in the same year that the Wu clan was destroyed, and the handkerchief she used was so special, how could Gu Yuqing not be frightened and suspicious.

Gu Yuqing's thin body was indulging in the large pear wood double-armchair in the study, her eyes were slightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and she was constantly combing through all the bits and pieces related to Prince Duan's Mansion, trying to sort out these bits and pieces that seemed completely inconsistent. The things on the sides are completely put together.

At this time, Xiao Yu, who had returned to the mansion, was lying on the bed with a strange and confused posture because of a thick layer of ointment on his back, listening to Ming Lu's detailed report.

The topic continued with the unfinished paragraph from last night.

"...Your Highness, my servant went to South Vietnam this time. Although I did not get back any evidence of Prince Duan's correspondence with South Vietnam, the people over there in South Vietnam said that your Highness should wait for a few days. The South Vietnamese envoy is about to go to Hajj. At that time, If His Highness looks for another opportunity, the South Vietnamese envoy will definitely contact Prince Duan secretly when he comes."

"On the day when the slave left South Vietnam, the South Vietnamese envoy also happened to set off. Also coming with him this time was the South Vietnamese prince Chu Tiande."

Is he coming too?

Xiao Yu rested his chin on his fist and lay there, his brows furrowed.

The Emperor of Nanyue had many heirs, but Chu Tiange was the most promising prince to ascend the throne. Nanyue actually sent him in person for this visit, which shows that it was not an ordinary pilgrimage.

Over the years, South Vietnam has been ready to take action, but this time, it is not good-hearted again.

"Is he coming too?" Xiao Yu said after thinking for a moment.

Ming Lu knew that Xiao Yu was referring to the hidden line they had planted in South Vietnam, so he shook his head and said, "He is not among the people meeting this time. Furthermore, he cannot leave South Vietnam."

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this. After a few flashes of light and death, he finally said nothing. When he spoke again after a moment, he changed the topic, "Have you ever heard of Miaojiang?"

The topic suddenly changed, and Ming Lu didn't react for a while. He stared at Xiao Yu's handsome face and was stunned for a long time. Then he thought about it with an "Ah", "Your Highness doesn't remember. I was the slave of your Highness." He was saved from the hands of the Miao people."

Without mentioning it clearly, Xiao Yu really forgot about this incident.

This was all more than ten years ago.

At this time, the memory had been covered in dust for so long that when I suddenly opened it, I was greeted by flying dust.

When Xiao Yu rescued Ming Lu, Xiao Yu was only a five-year-old child, and Ming Lu was only ten years old.

That day, he had just finished learning martial arts from the Marquis of Chinan Mansion. He was wearing ordinary clothes and leading a group of boys to have fun on Gulou Street. At a glance, he saw a dark and thin child being locked up like a monkey. In the iron cage, from time to time someone used a barbed iron rod to pass through the gaps in the iron cage to poke his arms and legs, which had little flesh.

Every time he was poked, the onlookers around him cheered. The person who poked him spoke in Beijing dialect that was not very standard, biting his tongue and said: "There are not many boys who are so exciting. How about that uncle?" With this bite, you might as well buy it back for your own enjoyment, give it to someone else, or invite your friends to enjoy it together. I guarantee that this fiery boy will satisfy all the gentlemen."

Following his words, a disgusting commotion broke out in the crowd. He bared his golden yellow teeth and said with a greedy smile: "The price is fair, first come first served!" As he said this, he used Barbed iron rods to poke the caged children.

Xiao Yu just stood there and stared, stunned.

He had never seen eyes like these.

It was clear that he had been abused and humiliated in every possible way, but his black and white eyes were as bright as a candle, but in these candle-like eyes burned an unyielding hatred.

His hands and feet were tightly tied with iron chains, and his lean body had what Mr. Gu called muscles.

Inexplicably, Xiao Yu's heart palpitated.
