Chapter 378: Undercurrents among the Tribes
"Chief, Young Chief..." At this time, the old man walked in and said to the two people who were snuggling together.
Hearing this, Luo Yunxian looked over and saw that it was the Great Elder. She stood up from her grandmother's arms, bowed to him and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are here..."
"Brother, please sit down now that you are here. What can I do for you?!" Chief Wangshu looked at the newcomer and nodded in greeting.
The Great Elder heard this and nodded.
"Yes, there was something wrong. One third of the tribe members who came here were killed, another third were rescued by our people, and some of them escaped on their own."
"I'm worried that those tribesmen who were not killed might be attacked by them. I have sent people to protect them."
"Also, more than half of the leaders of the tribes have quietly come here! I wonder when the chief will go to meet them?"
Hearing this, Chief Wangshu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over after everyone has arrived. Also, does Dingfang have any reaction?"
Hearing this, the great elder Luo Donghe frowned and said with a complicated look: "Recently, Ding Fang has been very close to people from Feng Nanfang..."
Upon hearing this, Wangshu clan leader's eyes flashed with anger, and an invisible might burst out from his body.
"It seems that I have been too indulgent towards him. Since he wants to go down a dark path, let him go down that dark path..."
Luo Yunxian, who was standing by, saw that her grandmother was angry, so she quickly stepped forward and shook her hand.
Chief Wangshu felt the concern of his granddaughter, looked over, and gently stroked her head.
"Xian'er, I can't meet those people for now. Find a time and ask your uncle Donghe to take you to meet them. Since you are the leader of this matter, I will leave it to you. Don't worry, just go ahead and do it. Grandma will support you behind the scenes."
"Yes, grandma, Xian'er understands..." Luo Yunxian nodded with red eyes.
On the other side, Jiang Fan, Qing Yucheng and three others came to the residence arranged by the Wangshu tribe. It was a row of wooden houses with three floors in total.
At this time, many people from various tribes who came to participate in the son-in-law selection had already settled in the wooden house. Because there were so many people, most of them lived in four people in one room. Men and women were separated!
Qing Lingxiu was arranged to stay in the wooden house where the female guests were, which was only a dozen feet away from the wooden house where the male guests were, separated by a wooden wall.
There were quite a few men and women from each of the small tribes that came this time, and the number of people from a medium-sized tribe even reached over 50.
Some small tribes had about 20 people coming, but there were almost no people like the Qinghe tribe, which had only four people.
Moreover, most of the people from those tribes were young boys and girls before Young Master Wangshu chose a son-in-law.
Each tribe will also take advantage of this grand event to allow young men and women in their tribe to marry freely, and a fire sacrifice ceremony will be held for this purpose.
This is the tradition of the Nanyue people. In every large-scale son-in-law selection conference, in addition to the parties involved, people from other tribes can also participate in a large-scale son-in-law selection.
As long as the young men and women from different tribes like each other, there is a chance for them to marry each other. Of course, such a marriage requires both parties to like each other and cannot be forced.
At this time in the wooden house where the female guests were, Qing Lingxiu and Zhong Ling were assigned to a room, and there were two girls from another tribe in the same room.
The two girls were pretty in appearance. Although not peerless in the world, they were definitely very beautiful.
Of course, compared with Zhong Ling and Qing Lingxiu who share the same room, it is still far worse.
Seeing how beautiful Zhong Ling and Qing Lingxiu were, the two girls couldn't help but feel close to them. They came over to Qing Lingxiu and Zhong Ling to chat with them.
Zhong Ling has a cold personality and can only chat with Jiang Fan or people close to her.
He had a cold look on his face most of the time. Even when talking to Qing Lingxiu, he could not say a few words. At most, he would reply with a few words, being very frugal with his words.
Qing Lingxiu didn't care about this. She had already figured out Zhong Ling's character along the way.
When the two of them just arrived at the female guest's residence, she was still trying to find out the relationship between Zhong Ling and Jiang Fan on the way.
She did not get a specific promise, but she vaguely heard that Zhong Ling was Jiang Fan's bodyguard.
Thinking that Jiang Fan was the King of Qin and would bring a female guard and a maid, she didn't care. The little girl didn't know what she was thinking about and her face turned red with embarrassment.
Now, the other two girls in the room came up to talk to her, and most of the time she was communicating with the other two girls.
As for Jiang Fan's group, since there were exactly four of them, the four of them were arranged in one room.
Knowing Jiang Fan's identity, Qing Yucheng and his two uncles were very respectful to Jiang Fan, which Jiang Fan was a little uncomfortable with, but he did not correct them too much.
He chatted with the three people in a familiar manner about some things about the various tribes in South Vietnam, and he got a lot of information from them.
Regarding the information he got, Jiang Fan always felt that he seemed to have missed something. There was something strange about the son-in-law selection meeting of Young Master Wangshu.
I heard that she had just returned to the Wangshu tribe not long ago. Even if she wanted to take over the position of clan leader, she had to find a son-in-law. However, the Wangshu clan did not want to interfere in worldly affairs, so they should not recruit a son-in-law in such a high-profile manner.
After all, this is a very sensitive time. The Wangshu tribe has alarmed almost all the tribes in South Vietnam during this sensitive period. There must be ulterior motives.
But his specific intentions are hard to guess for the time being.
However, Jiang Fan heard that many people from various tribes were killed by the Fengnan tribe, and the Wangshu tribe rescued many people.
In a sense, it is impossible for the Wangshu tribe to unite with the Fengnan tribe, and the two sides should even be in an opposing position.
So what is the relationship between them? What is Wangshu's plan? !
Jiang Fan couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only wait and see how things developed. Or, he would slowly find out what the Wangshu tribe was planning.
He first needs to find out the Wangshu tribe’s plan before making a plan.
Not long after Jiang Fan and his companions moved into the arranged residence, Feng Daishan came to the residence of the Little Saint King Fengnan.
Compared with the living environment of those small tribes, visitors from the seven major tribes like the Little Saint King were all arranged to live in separate residences with their own doors and courtyards.
Although the houses here are smaller than the row of houses of the small tribe, they are more than enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people.
People from medium-sized tribes like Feng Daishan are not qualified to live in such a place. Only people from the other seven major tribes are qualified to live there.
At this time, Feng Daishan had just been led to the room where the Little Saint King was, and he saw more than a dozen people standing inside. Each of them was a young patriarch of a medium-sized tribe.
In addition, he also saw Luo Dingfang, the son of the Wangshu tribe’s patriarch.
