Chapter 1066: Cannot Be Said

Chai, having slightly recovered his reason, widened his eyes: "You say, the Suiren Clan has joined our Huaxia, how on earth did that happen? How does this sound so impossible? You couldn't be lying to me, could you?"

Zisheng blocked Chai's shoulder, lowered his head, and whispered: "I'm not lying to you. Actually, this matter was indeed very sudden and very absurd. It was that Baoxi, the Suiren Tribal Chief, you know him, right? He suddenly came to Huaxia, saying he came to take a look. I don't know what he wanted to see, but he just came anyway. I didn't see it at the time, but I heard them say..."

"... how Baoxi was angered to the point of vomiting blood and almost died in our Huaxia. Fortunately, he was rescued in time. It even alarmed the Royal Capital, and the King personally took action to treat him. It is said that because of this, the King even scolded the physician, saying his skills were not good enough."

"And then, after Baoxi was cured, he suddenly changed. He insisted on joining our Huaxia. The King kept saying no, no, but Baoxi just wouldn't have it; he just had to join Huaxia. In the end, there was no other way, so the King had to agree."

"And now, they have given Baoxi the position of a City Lord without any power, and it seems they are also going to give him a very impressive title of nobility, higher in status than us Marquises."

"Then, they sent some grain to the Suiren Clan, and Baoxi had them send over a lot of people. We almost couldn't handle it."

"Also, also, let me tell you, those people—guess where those people who just came from the Suiren Clan are being settled now?"

Chai felt his waist hurting from being bent over like that for so long, but he really wanted to hear Zisheng talk about these things, so he could only hold his waist and continue to ask: "Tell me in detail, where were they settled?"

"They were sent to our Noble fiefs!"

"What!" Chai shouted in shock again, which made Changle and the others look over involuntarily. Everyone was watching; the way Chai and Zisheng were acting was just sneaky, and they didn't know what they were whispering about. Changle looked a bit displeased, but he didn't call out to them.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down. What are you doing, being so jumpy? Just listen to me tell you slowly."

Chai tried his best to steady his emotions: "Come, come, you speak, you speak."

"Our fiefs, aren't they all sitting empty? And in Huaxia City and Lema City, the fiefs are in very good locations, so close to our city, right? So the King thought about letting those newcomers live on our fiefs. It seems there are about thirty thousand people, and there will be more in the future. This is just the beginning."

Chai pulled Zisheng's arm and asked with some dissatisfaction: "But, these are our fiefs! Why should we let others live there and let others farm them? Although I am only a Viscount and that fief is pitifully small, it still belongs to me. When the King granted it, didn't he promise? Now, now how can it be like this?"

"Don't be anxious. This isn't a bad thing. Let me tell you, everyone with a fief is hoping to have those people live on their own land. Everyone is fighting for it, but unfortunately, they can't get them. I tell you, only the fiefs of Zhu and Yishang were arranged. Think about those two; what kind of relationship do they have with the King? Good things will definitely be thought of for them first, right?"

"Of course, you as a Viscount don't need to worry too much. Even I, a Marquis, am not that anxious—well, it's not that I'm not anxious, it's that my being anxious is useless. No one cares about me. I spend my days drifting on the Dahe; how long can I be on land?"

"These grand meetings, let me tell you, I haven't even been to them. I just hear them talk about it, sigh."

"I don't even know what the situation is now. Those few Marquises seem to have made quite a scene; they all went to find the King to cause trouble. I didn't dare, and besides, there's no need, is there? I believe the King won't forget me, he definitely won't. I'll see when the time comes. You don't need to panic either; it will definitely affect us first before it affects you."

"It's just that this news of the Suiren Clan joining Huaxia is a bit too shocking and too intense, so I'm telling you about it. I think it's best if you don't talk nonsense lately; keep your mouth shut tight."

"You have many people here, and many mouths. When you talk among yourselves, it's possible for those from the Xuanyuan Tribe to hear it. So I think you shouldn't tell anyone. Just know it yourself. Anyway, you are withdrawing this year, and by then everyone will know."

Chai immediately lifted his head, straightened his waist, and glared fiercely at Zisheng: "Then why did you tell me! I, I know this now and can't tell others; aren't you going to drive me crazy?"

"What were you thinking?"

Zisheng stroked his beard: "Aiya, if I don't speak it out, I feel uncomfortable too. I can't tell the Prince, so I can only tell you. You must keep your mouth tight. If the news leaks out and the Xuanyuan Tribe finds out, this will definitely be an extremely huge accident. It will definitely cause a serious impact on the relationship between our two tribes, so you must, must hold it in, otherwise you will be a great sinner."

Chai looked at Zisheng angrily for a few seconds, then turned and left in a huff, no longer paying attention to Zisheng. Although this news was truly very impactful and he really wanted to hear it, the fact that he couldn't tell anyone at the end was the most hateful part.

Changle had been watching the two of them for a while and noticed that they were chatting heatedly, and now it had turned into this, so he curiously called out: "General Zisheng, come here for a moment. What did you tell him? Can you tell me?"

Zisheng was originally going to tell Changle, but he had just received news that shocked him just as much, so he had forgotten. Now that the Prince had taken the initiative to ask, he definitely had to explain it seriously.

"Changle Prince, you, why don't you step over here? I feel this might be, relatively secret, and shouldn't be heard by too many people."

Changle blocked Ayuduo and said: "This is my woman. She will stay in Huaxia. There is nothing she cannot hear, right?"

But Zisheng was still hesitant: "Prince, this is indeed, a bit too confidential. Perhaps after arriving in Huaxia, these things still cannot be revealed. I don't quite understand the King's policy, but let me put it this way: the shock and importance of this news is the same as you marrying a wife who is a Jiuli Princess; perhaps it is even more important."

Changle looked at Zisheng suspiciously, then had no choice but to let go of Ayuduo, move away from Bingzhu and the others, and pull Zisheng to an empty, deserted spot to talk.

"Alright, now tell me."

Zisheng still guarded against the surroundings, felt the environment was safe, and then said: "Prince, the Suiren Clan has joined Huaxia. Now the entire Suiren Clan is ours."

"What!!!" Changle also exclaimed. Now he knew why Chai had been shouting like that just a moment ago.

"When did this happen? Why so sudden? Was there a war?"

Zisheng shook his head: "No war, but it was indeed very sudden. It has already been negotiated, and some of their tribesmen have already moved over. Prince, is this matter important enough?"

"Now in Huaxia, there are too many things going on. I estimate the King's head is spinning. Now with your matter, it's even more troublesome. You going to Huaxia, I estimate you'll have your hands full. Huaxia is a mess right now."

"Because this matter needs to be kept from the Xuanyuan Tribe—well, perhaps the Jiuli also need to be guarded against—we cannot let them know, which is why I called you over."

Changle patted Zisheng's arm: "I understand, I understand. Alright, I won't tell them. Let's see when we get to Huaxia. This is just too absurd."
