"Who is eavesdropping outside?" Li Zhi sternly pointed at the door. With a wave of his hand, the door opened inwards, revealing a slender figure.
She changed her clothes, and at first glance, no one immediately recognized her identity.
But when Li Jin saw her looming face under the dim light, his heavy heart suddenly jumped with excitement. He couldn't help but take a step forward.
Jin Yunlan opened her mouth to express her intention: "I'm here to negotiate peace with you." She acted very humbly.
As soon as her voice came out, everyone saw through her face, and the already solemn atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Li's clear and beautiful voice was as graceful as the cry of an oriole, which was very beautiful.
Jin Yunlan was also very worried. If Li Zhi and the others refused to negotiate with her, not only would the mediation goal not be achieved, but her life might have to be lost. But no matter what, she had to give it a try.
"I can help you." She replied.
"Oh, you help us?" Li Zhi sneered contemptuously, as if he didn't trust her "blushing" at all.
"I can agree to your request of two hundred stones of food a year." She took a step forward and walked completely into the house. Li Zhi quickly closed the door and blocked her way out.
Li Jin sounded a little excited. Unlike Li Zhi, he was unwilling to fight. Although Li Zhi was indeed strong, one person could defeat a thousand, but he was outnumbered. How could the Li family, who had been in decline until now, compete with Jinyun, which had been prospering for thousands of years, once a war started?
In all likelihood, Li's death will come. If he had enough food to survive, he would rather spend this short but poor life in ignorance with his daughter Qiangwei.
Therefore, when others were doubtful and did not respond, he was the first to contact her: "Then what do you want?"
Seeing that this matter was promising, Jin Yunlan hurriedly said: "Let me go down the mountain. I promise not to leak this matter and will send you food."
When the four people heard this, they looked at each other with expressions of surprise.
This woman has ulterior motives and is a member of the Jinyun tribe. If they agree to her request, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
Therefore, her proposal was immediately rejected by Li Zhi, "We don't believe you. Once you return to Luo City, you will most likely forget about the promise you made at this moment, and lead your tribe to come back and attack us?"
They let people go and lost the opportunity. Didn't they just shoot themselves in the foot?
Jin Yunlan understood their concerns. If she were herself, considering many circumstances, she would never agree to this deal easily. She raised three fingers and solemnly said: "I can swear to God! If I break my promise, I will be thundered by heaven."
If you chop it, you won’t die a good death!”
Li Zhi still didn't believe it and said sarcastically: "Who said before that I would never bow to the dirty Li family, and would never become a stumbling block for Jinyun to clean up the Li family. Less than three days later, they changed their mind.
What a shame? They are indeed cunning and insidious Jinyun people. In order to survive, they are even willing to swear poisonous oaths in front of their enemies."
These words sounded really harsh, and Jin Yunlan also felt extremely uncomfortable. His chest, which was originally calm, suddenly felt tight.
In this short period of less than three days, she experienced hardships that she had never experienced in more than ten years.
Hard food to swallow.
The unheard of thirty years limit.
From the elders of the Li family to the ignorant and childish, their every word and deed reveals their hatred for Jinyun.
But she was born in Jinyun and lived in Luo City for seventeen years. She had never heard a word about this matter. Now she experienced it personally. Although she did not say she believed it, she was already full of doubts in her heart.
She confessed sincerely: "Whether you believe it or not, I still want to make it clear that before coming here, I had never heard Jinyun's remarks about abusing Li in Luo City. When we first met, I spoke fiercely because of
...Because of the education I have received over the years. In my perception, and in the perception of most people in Luo City, the Li family is not a kind person, and is even tyrannical and unscrupulous, and extremely cruel."
When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but sneered: "The perpetrators naturally have to cover up their crimes. But it is rare to attribute all mistakes to the victims. Jinyun really has a way."
Jin Yunlan ignored his sarcasm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I'm still not completely sure whether Jin Yun really persecuted the Li family. I won't convict my clan just because of your words, but I will never accuse my family because of my own identity.
For the sake of the Jinyun tribe, please tolerate our tribe’s bad behavior. I will give you an explanation after I find out.”
Li Tang's tone was quite gentle, without any attack, just genuine doubts: "As the daughter of the leader of the Jinyun clan, will she not know what's going on?"
Jin Yunlan smiled bitterly: "I'm famous for being unconventional in Luo City. I haven't joined the clan association at the age of seventeen, and I haven't interfered in clan affairs, so I don't know the truth."
Everyone saw that her attitude was sincere and she didn't look like she was just being stupid, so their expressions softened a little. Li Tang asked again: "What if you find out that Jinyun has indeed committed an unforgivable sin against us? How will you deal with it?"
Jin Yunlan's eyes were as bright as a torch and she replied firmly: "At that time, I will walk the entire winding mountain road and kowtow to you to apologize!"
Everyone's deep gazes seemed to penetrate through her skin and into her mind.
Jin Yunlan did not escape their penetrating gaze and faced them head on without any dodge.
They said they wanted to think about it and drove her back.
She recalled their relaxed expressions at the end, thinking that this matter was very promising, and her heart became much brighter. If this was feasible, maybe she could postpone the war between the two clans. But then she thought about it, if she returned to Luo City and found out the truth
, knowing that Jinyun really killed the Li family, how should she face the two clans?
On Li's side, the situation changed because of the meeting with her. Li Jin believed that Jin Yunlan's words were reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant, and had high credibility. If she could keep her promise, she would give her two yuan a year.
With a hundred shi of food, they would not have to go through war and could live a peaceful life.
So he strongly agreed.
But Li Zhi was still cautious. Would the woman he stabbed really be as impartial as she said?
Li Li also had some inclination towards Li Jin, but she couldn't express it conveniently, so she asked Li Tang, "Li Tang, what do you think?"
Li Tang is the second eldest among the three people after Li Jin. Although he is not very old, he is not as bloody as his younger brother Li Zhi, and he is gentler.
He looked at his younger brother and said: "Xiao Zhi, you have extraordinary strength, I have no doubt about it. Although the others are not as talented as you, they all have their own skills. Even the seven-year-old Qiangwei is also very talented. Although we are small in number,
, but one can equal ten. If a war begins, they may not be defeated quickly, but the result will be defeat. If defeated, the Li clan will be completely extinct. Jinyun will never be merciful, and I am afraid that he will not even let go of the newborn. This pair
It is indeed unfair to the children. Originally, it was because the matter had reached this point and we had no choice, so we decided to risk our lives. Now that Jin Yunlan has proposed this condition, it is exactly what we have not yet accomplished. If we can reduce her risk after going down the mountain,
Even at the lowest level, it’s not impossible.”
"How can we reduce the risk so that she has no chance to tell her tribesmen what she experienced during her three days in Kongshan, and make sure that she keeps her promise?" Li Jin asked.
Li Tang replied: "People's hearts are unpredictable. We can't rest assured based on her words alone. We can only use other methods. For example, use Li Li's taboo technique. Once a person with this technique intentionally mentions taboo things or
If she says something taboo, she will immediately lose consciousness and be unable to open her mouth."
"This is a good idea." Li Jin exclaimed.
However, Li Li still frowned: "This is a good idea. But I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on the art of concealment. If she breaks the contract after coming down from the mountain, then we will suffer a dumb loss. We can't, just rush into her house and make her keep her promise."
"Use Rose Pill." Li Zhi suddenly said this.
Since he intended to make suggestions together, he also acquiesced to their unanimous suggestions.
Li Tang smiled widely: "This is a good idea! Although rose pill is not poisonous, after eating it, you will have unbearable abdominal pain. You must take koudan to relieve the pain. And once rose pill is taken, the medicinal properties will not be easily dissipated.
, will relapse every twenty-eight days. Unless she is an indestructible body, she will never be able to bear the power of the Moon Pill, so she will not dare to break her promise."
Everyone came up with countermeasures, and the smiles on their faces couldn't help but grow.
Jin Yunlan, who was lying on the haystack and recuperating, did not think too much. It should be said that her physical condition did not allow her to have the energy to think too much. She was stabbed through the waist for no reason, which hurt her vitality, and soon she died.
Falling into a tired slumber.
It's just that the arrival of the leader of the Li family did not give her too much peaceful time.
Li Li woke her up softly.
The sound of footsteps and the imposing momentum will also force Perfection to wake up.
Li Li told Jinyun Lanming about their decision.
Jin Yunlan did not hesitate for a long time, quickly reacted and expressed understanding of their decisions and measures.
On the other hand, Wanwanman had no idea what was going on, and just kept looking at her young lady's face with doubtful eyes.
Li Li came to Jin Yunlan's eyes and formed a seal of taboo. She spread her fingers and pushed it into Jin Yunlan's brain, and finally tapped her throat three times.
Jin Yunlan was very cooperative and showed no sign of disobedience from beginning to end. On the contrary, Wanwanwan showed great reluctance when faced with Li Li's approach.
Li Li smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt, it's just a technique that allows you to keep a secret." After that, she formed another seal and performed the technique.
Li Zhi took the white porcelain bottle containing the Rose Pill from Li Tang's hand, poured out a pill from it, stretched it out to Jin Yunlan's eyes, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Eat it."
Jin Yunlan pinched the rose pill from his palm. The lavender pill was in the shape of a rose flower. The carving was exquisite and lifelike, so the entrance was not so resisting.
She swallowed it decisively without any intention of playing tricks.
Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, then poked her forehead again, and said: "This is the heart-sensing seal. If you contact me later, you can trigger this seal, and I will feel something." After speaking, he took it with him
The three of them turned around and left.
"Li Zhi, when can we leave?" Jin Yunlan asked from behind.
Li Zhi's progress suddenly stopped, he turned his head and glanced at her coldly, his tone still as cold as ice: "Any time. But please remember your promise."
Jin Yunlan smiled bitterly: "I dare not." This chapter has been completed!
