Chapter 715: A Meticulous Inspection

The guards sent by Baifeng arrived. They had been very relaxed along the way, but when they reached the Matou of the Xuanyuan Tribe, they felt the atmosphere was not quite right. The people of the Xuanyuan Tribe, who had previously been quite warm toward them, now looked at them with cold eyes. They were even extremely meticulous in their questioning: how many people, what were they here for, and did they have Baifeng's official approval?

Originally, this process was very symbolic, something they had learned from Huaxia, but now it was being carried out in great detail, which gave Yanggou an ominous feeling.

They were not even allowed to carry any Weapon when they went ashore; they had to leave them on the Boat. They had to wait until Xuanyuan knew and gave them approval before they could carry weapons within the Xuanyuan Tribe.

In the Huaxia team, there was one person who had a relatively good relationship with the Soldier at the Matou because they often chatted in the past, and he would give those people some food or small items, eventually being able to call each other brothers.

During the inspection, he saw his good friend from the Xuanyuan Tribe, so after exchanging glances, they slowly leaned in toward each other.

"What is going on this time? Why has it suddenly become so formal? Did some trouble happen?"

The people of the Xuanyuan Tribe who were asked did not actually have much resentment in their hearts. He knew that most of the people from Huaxia were very friendly, like this friend of his, but he felt that this matter was handled a bit too much, yet it was indeed based on reason and evidence. After all, the one who was beaten was a Prince of Huaxia, and his status was there. The ones who mainly had resentment were the companions of those who were killed and punished. They were the main force of this Matou, the largest in number, and also relatively united. To stabilize the emotions of these people, they, as Soldier, had to be serious; now, those people were watching them straight-on.

"Sigh, this matter is hard to say. It's just that, because of a misunderstanding, your people and the people at our Matou had a conflict. No one expected that your Prince was also among them. They had a fight, but your people were few, and as a result, even your Prince was beaten."

"What!"

The person from the Xuanyuan Tribe panicked and hurriedly covered his friend's mouth, but this action still attracted the attention of some people, which made him feel a bit panicked. If he were targeted by the people at the Matou because of this, his future days would not be easy.

"Hey, keep your voice down. Your Prince is fine, just superficial wounds. Two of your people had their bones broken, and some had their teeth knocked out. But, but, our Tribal Chief, in order to appease your Prince, killed the person who led the beating. The rest were also beaten very badly and are still lying in the Grass, unable to get up; they might even die.

It is because of this that they now have opinions about you people of Huaxia. To avoid trouble, or perhaps just wanting to find trouble for you, that is why they are being so serious. Sigh, the cause of this matter is just too strange.

Also, you people of Huaxia even went on strike to cheer for your Prince, which forced our Tribal Chief to kill people. Actually, most people are fine; it is just here at the Matou. You had better be careful in the future. If there is a problem, try to communicate first, or find someone to mediate. Definitely do not start fighting without talking it through.

Last time they did not use weapons, but next time, who knows. Anyway, they will die if they beat you, and if they beat you to death, it is also death. They do not care; they have no sense of the big picture, regardless of whether killing you will affect the relationship between our two tribes."

After the person from the Xuanyuan Tribe finished speaking, he patted his friend's arm and immediately distanced himself. It was only because their relationship was truly deep; otherwise, he could have completely pretended not to see him and would not have brought this unnecessary trouble upon himself.

Having gathered the information, the people of Huaxia were not happy because the matter was troublesome. Their Prince had been beaten, but the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe had been killed. The relationship between the two sides, which had been very friendly, now had problems. How were they going to report back on this?

Although Yanggou was suspicious, he still cooperated meticulously to complete the inspection. Even in Huaxia, if a Soldier followed orders to inspect him, he would have to cooperate seriously, let alone being on someone else's territory.

The inspection ended, and everything was fine, so they were allowed to pass. However, there were no weapons and no carts; they could only walk into the city. There was no reason given, and they did not even explain why the ox carts were being held under such a pretext.

Changle was suffering abnormally in the room. Not to mention that the food here was not delicious, even if it were, he would have no mood to eat. He did not know why, even though he had clearly said there was no need to punish those people excessively, it still led to them losing their lives.

Regarding his own tribesmen, he had also said that he was fine, yet they still used their own actions to force Xuanyuan. Was what he said not clear enough, or in their eyes, was his face that important?

In the whole incident, no one felt they were wrong, and it was indeed hard to say who was wrong, but the fact that the relationship between the two sides began to deteriorate was also true.

Out of politeness and at Xuanyuan's request, Limu invited Changle to go out and tour the Xuanyuan Tribe. Changle refused. Now, he did not want to step out of this Phylum at all. He felt very uncomfortable walking around the Xuanyuan Tribe, but when he thought about returning to Huaxia, he did not know how to face his father. It was because of his own willfulness and his lack of ability that he failed to handle this matter well.

Xuanyuan was disturbed again, and he felt a bit irritable. However, when he heard that it was an envoy from Huaxia, he had to go out to deal with it. Although Changle was okay, he had not shown enough maturity in the process of handling the whole matter. He hoped that the Huaxia envoy he met this time would be a person of true talent and would not do these things that made him feel embarrassed again.

On the way, the Soldier told Yanggou everything he had found out. Hearing that the Prince had been beaten, all the guards were very angry. However, what Yanggou cared about more was the cause of the whole thing: why exactly was the Prince beaten? Was it a misunderstanding, or did Changle himself do something wrong? Only then could he make corresponding remedial measures.

However, when the Soldier was inquiring, because he was too anxious, he did not get the full story of the whole matter, so Yanggou could not come up with a good plan now and could only wait until he saw Xuanyuan.

The letter Baifeng wrote to Xuanyuan was still there, and the gifts for Xuanyuan were also brought. This time, it was not a reckless act like Changle's, but a very formal diplomatic activity.

Xuanyuan had also called Cangjie over in advance because this time the envoy had brought him a letter. In order to ensure that the message was conveyed without error, he needed one of his own people who could recognize Huaxia characters to read the letter.
