Chapter 1230: Still Blaming Me?

"Leader Huangpin! Slow down, slow down, I have something to discuss with you!"

Huangpin looked up abruptly and discovered that it was actually Liuye and the others, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He recalled the situation, tapped his fingers repeatedly, and asked suspiciously, "Eh? Didn't you all go to Huaxia? How come you've returned?"

Liuye and the others hurriedly walked to Huangpin's side, their attitudes becoming quite humble; after all, Huangpin's status was much higher than theirs, and this was something that required respect.

"Leader Huangpin, it's not that we don't have a reason, we just came back. It's about matters in Huaxia, and of course, also matters that Leader Chengqie arranged for us."

Huangpin looked behind them. In the distance, there was a large group, which at a glance was clearly from Huaxia. However, perhaps because Liuye and the others were there, no tribesmen had stopped them yet.

"Matters in Huaxia? What matters? And what are they here for?"

Liuye did not state it clearly, but instead said, "They are here to deliver grain. Leader Huangpin, why don't you first find a place, find an open space to arrange for them to settle down and set up camp? We will go find the Tribal Chief and tell the Tribal Chief about what we have come to do this time."

Huangpin sighed. He had no way to refuse, and since the people from Huaxia were here to deliver grain, he had even less of a way to refuse, even though his impression of Huaxia was not good. Having escaped death several times in Huaxia back then, he had long ago conceived the idea of never setting foot on Huaxia soil again.

"You go ahead. The Tribal Chief is in that courtyard; that is where the Tribal Chief lives now."

Liuye had already guessed this, so after bowing and nodding to Huangpin, he hurriedly left, leaving two people behind to help the Huaxia people set up camp. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place, and it would be troublesome if any problems arose.

Huangpin was also very swift; he immediately arranged for two people to take the Huaxia group to an open space to set up camp and even sent them a lot of firewood. However, he himself did not want to see the Huaxia people at all, so he did not go over and went off to do his own work.

Liuye and the others entered the courtyard and discovered that there were Huaxia people working inside. An Artisan saw someone enter, did not look closely, and just said casually, "This is your Tribal Chief's courtyard. If you want to look, look from the outside; don't come in!"

Liuye hurriedly explained, "We are here to find the Tribal Chief. We just returned from Huaxia and have something to discuss with the Tribal Chief."

Upon hearing that they had returned from Huaxia, the Artisan's attitude immediately improved a lot: "Oh, so you've returned from Huaxia? Then come in. Your Tribal Chief is in that room, busy. You can knock on the door and ask yourselves."

"Eh, alright, thank you, you go ahead with your work."

Having been in Huaxia for so long, Liuye and the others had also learned basic etiquette and manners. A few words made the Artisan feel the difference between Liuye and the ordinary people of the Suiren Tribe.

Liuye knocked on the door lightly, and Baoxi called out for them to enter. The few leaders then entered the room one by one. The house was quite large, and there was absolutely no problem with all of them standing there. Moreover, this room was clearly a living room, even more spacious.

Liuye and the others were also surprised to discover that their Tribal Chief was actually holding a brush and practicing calligraphy on paper. This was what they had least expected. Sitting next to him was a person who looked like a teacher from Huaxia; he must have been giving Baoxi private tutoring—a special treatment for the Tribal Chief indeed.

Baoxi looked up and discovered it was actually Liuye and the others, and he was also a bit surprised: "You, how did you all return? Didn't I tell you to stay in Huaxia?"

Liuye rubbed his hands nervously: "That, Tribal Chief, we returned because we have a mission."

Baoxi put down the brush and pointed to the chairs nearby, which were all brand new and had not been sat on by anyone yet: "Come, sit down and talk."

Liuye and the others sat down looking slightly nervous. Baoxi was also observing them to see if they had learned some of the ways of Huaxia. Now it seemed they were indeed different.

"How is it? Is Huaxia doing alright? Did they drag you off to be Slaves?"

The faces of the few turned red immediately: "Tribal Chief, no, we, we are doing quite well in Huaxia. Thank you, Tribal Chief, for giving us this opportunity to let us be the first to go to Huaxia."

Baoxi leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily: "Hahahahahaha! It's normal that you didn't believe me, but I am not someone who would send my own tribesmen to Huaxia to be Slaves. I sent you there only because I knew the benefits of Huaxia.

It is normal that you didn't understand me. Now that you have gone to Huaxia, you naturally understand.

Sending you to Huaxia was also because of your relationship with Chengqie. I was afraid Chengqie would act recklessly, and you all are also restless, so sending you away was for the best. It just so happens that with you helping Chengqie, I am also at ease.

By the way, how is Chengqie doing now? Did he not come back with you this time?"

"Tribal Chief, Leader Chengqie is studying at school and cannot take such a long leave, so we came by ourselves. Leader Chengqie is doing very well, and this time he also had us bring something, saying it was to be handed to you."

Having said that, Liuye hurriedly took out the gift list that Chengqie had someone write and handed it to Baoxi, which also contained a short letter from Chengqie.

Baoxi took it and first looked at it himself, but he didn't recognize many characters, so he could only hand it back to his teacher and have him read it.

"City Lord, this is a list, a gift for Changle Prince's wedding."

The Huaxia official was greatly shocked. Ignoring the content of the letter, he hurriedly asked in surprise, "Changle Prince is married? When did this happen?"

Liuye stammered, unable to say for sure, because when the wedding took place, they were still in training. They had only heard the news, but they couldn't leave the military camp and were only given a day off to rest, so they didn't know the specific details.

"This, we aren't sure either. We were still in training at that time and couldn't get out, but I remember it must have been a few dozen days ago, right?"

Baoxi was a bit confused: "No, what is a wedding? Is it some big event?"

The official hurriedly explained, "A wedding is a type of sacrificial ceremony. It is when a man finds a woman, and then they must perform a sacrifice to inform Heaven and the parents of both the man and the woman to confirm the relationship between the two. In Huaxia, a woman can only have one man, so it is relatively formal."

With this explanation, Baoxi understood. He clapped his hands: "Oh my, such a big event, and we actually didn't know! We missed it!"

The official only cared about whose daughter Changle had married and asked about several Noble women to see if it was one of them, but Liuye and the others just shook their heads, saying they didn't know, which made everyone feel restless because they were so curious that such a big event had been missed.
