Chapter 116 Battle for Qiluo
At the border between Land of Wind and Black Crystal City, Qiluo smiled and said before getting on the carriage: "Meiyi, our border is indeed not as heavily guarded as it used to be. Thank you for taking care of us these days."
Meiyi said: "You're welcome."
Qiluo hesitated to speak, jumped into the carriage with brisk steps, opened the curtain, and waved vigorously towards Meiyi. As soon as the curtain fell, her tears fell down like broken beads, "Mom,
I still can’t do it.”
Yiwen Jielin said distressedly: "I'll tell Meiyi, okay?"
"No!" Qiluo shouted in horror, "Let's go, mom, let's go, please!"
The ruts measure the distance home.
At dusk, Qiluo and Yiwen Jielin finally returned to the Lord's Mansion of Wind Land after three years of absence, and their mood finally improved a little.
When the subordinate lords of the great lord Qiluo saw Qiluo, their eyes widened and they did not recognize her for a moment. When they heard the great lord shouting her name excitedly, they were all stunned.
The little girl who was sent to Hualing as a hostage is actually still alive and has become a stunningly beautiful woman.
Just when those lords were thinking wildly, someone suddenly thought: This little girl is back, isn't she the only candidate to take over as the great lord?
For the current plan, the only way is to get her or get rid of her and gain profit from the chaos.
Qiluo felt very uncomfortable when she saw the malicious looks in the eyes of those lords. She picked up her bag and hurried back to the room.
When she was very young, instigated by outside elves, a war broke out in the Land of Wind for the position of lord. Her uncle insisted on challenging her father's position as lord, and a war broke out in the Land of Wind that lasted for several years.
She grew up in a military camp during her childhood, and saw a lot of blood. She did not return to the lord's mansion in the Wind Land until she was twelve years old. After only two years of peaceful life, she was sent to the Wind Land as a hostage.
I thought it would be a pleasant thing to come back, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't be happy.
In the evening, the lords of the eighteen counties under the Land of Wind attended the dinner hosted by the Great Lord Qiyan to welcome the return of his wife and daughter.
After a few rounds of pushing cups and changing cups, the lord of Little Rock City, Tedo, blushed and narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I haven't seen you for three years, and the eldest lady has grown into such a beautiful woman. I wonder if she is getting married?"
Qi Ren looked at Qi Luo and nodded at her, hoping that she would tell her that she already had someone she liked and was willing to spend the rest of her life with him.
Unexpectedly, Qiluo said bluntly: "Not yet."
Qiyi and Yiwen Jielin both looked at Qiluo in surprise, unable to believe their ears.
Yiwen Jielin looked at Qiluo's firm eyes and felt despair in her heart - she knew that Qiluo had already made up her mind.
Qiluo's character is the same as Meiyi's, she is also very stubborn, and once she makes up her mind, she cannot change it.
Kahn, the lord of Broken Leaf City, said: "If I remember correctly, the eldest lady will be eighteen years old this New Year. The issue of marriage should no longer be avoided. As the future lord of the Land of Wind, it is important to find a powerful lord.
Only through marriage between families can the transfer of power be successfully completed and tragedies avoided from happening again."
Yi Wenjielin was furious after hearing this. How could she not hear the implication of Kahn's words - it was because Qiji married the daughter of a declining nobleman and had no support from the woman's family that the counter-rebellion lasted for so long.
However, she couldn't get angry, so she had to say tactfully: "Marriage also depends on whether the two parties have similar temperaments, otherwise being together will only bring greater disaster to the consular district..."
No one paid any attention to her words, and everyone pretended not to hear.
Being a strong-willed person, she felt her chest feel tight. She didn't expect that she would be so respected in Sombra City, but when she returned to her territory, she would be so angry facing her compatriots who were also her subordinates.
The two brothers Baker and Beihuo, the lords of Shunfeng City and Headwind City, glanced at Qiluo from time to time, and their saliva almost flowed out. As expected of someone who had received an education at the Elf College, there was nothing tacky about the women in the mansion.
Baker shouted: "Lord Kahn is right! The only ones who are worthy of Miss Qiluo are the lords of our eighteen counties. First lord, Miss, you can rest assured that no matter who of us marries Miss Qiluo, he will
Let her be the official wife and I won’t let her suffer!”
Yi Wenjielin couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the cup in her hand, and said angrily: "Baker, shut your mouth! You don't even look at yourself, you actually want to marry my daughter! Don't even think about it!
"
Baker stared at the graceful and hot-tempered lord's wife with red eyes, and said with a smile: "Madam, what do you mean by looking at yourself? Although I am ugly, I am still quite gentle.
If I have that honor, I will definitely treat the eldest lady well."
Yiwen Jielin was so angry that her chest hurt. She pointed at Qiluo and said loudly: "Qiluo, how long are you going to be willful?"
When the great lord Qiluo saw that his wife was angry, he quickly advised her: "Madam, calm down the anger and listen to Qiluo's thoughts first, okay?"
Yiwen Jielin gave Qiluo a big slap in the face and said bitterly: "If Qiluo marries any of these people, I will kill Qiluo first, then you, and then commit suicide!"
"
The banquet hall suddenly burst into laughter, suppressing Yiwen Jielin's feeble roar.
"Mom, stop messing around!" Qiluo stood up and said calmly, "What the lords said makes sense. The Land of Wind can no longer withstand any turmoil. As the daughter of the great lord and the future great lord, I
Lord, you must take the lead. However, I only want the strongest man."
The eighteen lords started to boo and hit the table of the banquet hall with their wooden beer glasses, causing the beer to flow all over the floor.
Qiluo looked at their big yellow teeth, messy beards and drunken eyes, and felt sick. But she still insisted, "Since the lords of the eighteen counties are here, I won't waste your time. Let's compete.
It’s scheduled to be held tomorrow.”
A lord hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, Miss, you have to explain the content of the competition. If there is any frivolous content, I will not agree. We are all lords who lead troops to fight!"
Qiluo said: "No, it's just a martial arts competition. According to the rules of the Land of Wind, there will be a two-two battle first, and the two who win at the end will have a collective attack with 200 guards. The winner will be my husband. Within three months,
Let’s have a wedding!”
All the lords cheered, banging plates, slapping the table or singing obscene songs.
Qiluo added: "I only have one condition for him, which is to safeguard the interests of Black Crystal City at all times. If it goes against the interests of our consular district, I have the right to annul the engagement at any time."
All the lords agreed wholeheartedly, thinking: What do you, an inexperienced little girl, know? As long as I get you, give you some medicine, and make you comfortable, even if you don't give your all to me! Then the Land of Wind will be
It's mine, of course I have to maintain it.
Yiwen Jielin pointed at Qiluo with trembling hands, and she was so angry that she lay on the table and cried.
Just when Qiji wanted to persuade Qiluo, Qiluo left his seat, turned around, and said coldly: "My decision cannot be changed, otherwise how can I win the trust of the people of the Wind Land in the future?"
