Chapter 1082: Having Been to the Jiuli

Huaxia has pigeons that can deliver letters, and they also have writing that can pass on messages. The Xuanyuan Tribe is the same; the Xuanyuan Tribe has its own writing. They say they don't have pigeons, but do they really not?

Could it not be that they planted someone in the Jiuli to keep an eye on them, and when they set out this time, they used such a method to send their news to the Xuanyuan Tribe and Huaxia, and in the end, the two tribes targeted Ayuduo and set such a Trap to deceive her?

But then again, why? Ayuduo is actually not that important to the Jiuli. She is just a woman. Although she is a Miao healer, and a capable one at that, the Jiuli has many Miao healers; they are not in short supply. Why on earth is this?

Ayuduo asked in shock, "How do you know? Outsiders don't know about my father's Iron-eating Beast!"

Baifeng also hadn't expected that Chiyou actually kept a panda. In his view, it seemed he could keep one too. If he were lucky, he could go into the Qinling Mountains and catch a few to raise; they were so cute.

Judging by distance and location, if they continued a bit further south and entered the Qinling Mountains, it would be very likely they would encounter giant pandas. Because by the twenty-first century, the distribution range of pandas was across three provinces, not just one place. Before that, the area of the pandas' habitat was even broader, so even the Jiuli could have a chance to encounter an Iron-eating Beast.

Baifeng was not particularly certain of his specific location now, but looking at it currently, he should still be in the Huanghe basin. Not far to the south, he would be able to reach the Changjiang basin. There was also the Bailong, where pandas lived.

Baifeng now felt he could really tell his hunters about it. If they could encounter a small panda, they could absolutely catch one to raise themselves. It was so cute, and he could hold and pet it every day; it would be much better than spending money to squeeze in and watch at a zoo.

Regarding Ayuduo's confusion, Baifeng did not explain clearly, because he had no way to explain it.

"I know many interesting things in the world. It just so happens that the Iron-eating Beast your father keeps is particularly fun and looks very cute. I myself have wanted to keep one, but I just don't have your father's luck."

"However, I still don't know how you and Changle met. This is a bit too coincidental, isn't it?"

"I thought Changle could find a woman from Huaxia, or he could find a woman from the Xuanyuan Tribe, or even from the Suiren Clan or the Shennong Clan; after all, we do have some contact."

"But the Jiuli—so many of us in Huaxia don't even know such a place exists. It's so far away, yet Changle was actually able to meet you, and you were able to be with Changle. Hehe, I really didn't expect this."

Ayuduo had already heard the subtext in Baifeng's words, but she was unable to explain it. It really was a bit too coincidental, but Baifeng also hadn't explained how he knew her father kept an Iron-eating Beast.

Bingzhu and the others were a bit agitated, but this was Huaxia's territory, so they couldn't easily act out. They could only glare at Baifeng. Shouldn't such a coincidence be something they, the Jiuli, needed to ask about?

Changle protected his wife and stood out, saying, "Father, this matter is indeed quite coincidental, but the whole thing is not problematic. The Jiuli was trading with the Xuanyuan Tribe normally. When the time came, I chose the direction, distance, and time for that trip to forage in the mountains and forests, so everything is fine."

"Besides, at the beginning, we almost came to blows, but in the end, we were quite lucky to reach an agreement."

"As for Ayuduo, Father, she is a Miao healer. I think you should know this. It is precisely because of Ayuduo's status that we were able to talk, and I also discovered that her knowledge is not fake at all."

"Miao healer?" Baifeng suddenly became interested. Now that he heard Changle's explanation, the whole thing seemed to have no problems; it was just a pure coincidence. There are too many coincidences in life; you have to admit it and accept it. Baifeng was also trying to accept this kind of coincidence.

"Arrange seats for them to sit down. They are guests; we cannot let guests stand. Serve tea!"

At Baifeng's command, someone immediately brought chairs for Bingzhu and the others, letting them sit down, and then immediately brought tables and cups. For a moment, because the change was so great, they were still a bit unaccustomed to it.

Changle and Ayuduo remained standing. Changle felt a bit anxious now, a bit like a primary school student who had made a mistake, but he still had to protect his beloved woman.

Baifeng had no intention of tormenting the two of them; he simply treated Ayuduo as his own junior and asked questions as usual.

"You are a Miao healer, and I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We can be considered to have something in common—well, let's call it ideas. I once studied a little bit of Miao medicine. You prefer to use fresh Grass to treat illnesses rather than the dried kind, right? And, don't you have to summon or sacrifice to a certain god to do it?"

Ayuduo was shocked, and Changle was also shocked. Changle knew his father might have heard of people like Miao healers, but he didn't expect him to understand so much. Moreover, he said he had studied Miao medicine, which meant he had once been to a place like the Jiuli?

Ayuduo thought the same. The first thing she asked was, "Have you been to the Jiuli? Or the Sanmiao Tribe?"

Baifeng remained vague: "I don't know if it counts as having been there, but the time is different. Well, just assume I have been there. But now, I don't know much about the Jiuli; I only know a little bit. If you are a Miao healer, then everything can be explained."

"Changle likes you and wants to marry you; I have absolutely no problem with that. Then, is there any problem on your father's side? Do you need me to send an envoy to make a trip?"

After hearing Baifeng finish, Bingzhu felt that there seemed to be no problem between the two tribes now. Baifeng must have been to the Jiuli before, so everything could be explained. As for the envoy, Bingzhu also said loudly to Baifeng, "King of Huaxia, I can make the decision regarding Ayuduo becoming Changle's woman. I am her brother, and Changle's status is very good; my father will definitely be very happy."

"As for the envoy, if you want to send one, we can go to the Jiuli together. If you think it is too far, we can also convey your meaning to my father."

Baifeng nodded at the group. Looking at them now, they were all young people, while he was already an old man. Oh, there was one who looked quite old; perhaps he was about the same age as himself.
