Chapter 1799 - 1401: Setting Out for the Tashi Tribe!

The maid Ling Dang spoke arrogantly, as in her heart, her lady is lofty and omnipotent, with a strong possibility of becoming the woman of the Chief of the Tashi Tribe in the future!

The first female tribe leader in Northern Mongolian history!

What a great honor is this?

To serve by her lady’s side is the privilege of all the people of Northern Mongolia, even for those who aren’t Northern Mongolian, it’s indeed a blessing from the heavens!

Though Ling Dang’s words seemed presumptuous, Landuoer was amused immediately, "Haha...Ling Dang, even though your lady possesses extraordinary wisdom, comparable to any man, having those two handsome men serve her — even if she becomes our tribe leader — she isn’t qualified!"

Although she did not reveal Gu Changsheng’s identity, having spoken to such an extent, how could Landuoer possibly be clueless in her heart?

The men who accompany Gu Changsheng, in this world, are well-known and there’s only that one!

Zhou Mu, the Undefeated War God of Great Zhou!

Landuoer, being the Princess of the Tashi Tribe, while she hadn’t truly crossed paths with Zhou Mu, she was deeply familiar with his legendary tales!

And aside from Zhou Mu, the other man who could equally match Zhou Mu — a man with unparalleled arrogance found nowhere else in the world — aside from Shi Wujue, the Master of Linyuan City, Landuoer could think of no one else!

This is why, despite her suspicions, Landuoer chose to probe using her own methods throughout and refrained from asking about their identities or names...

Sometimes, feigning ignorance with understanding is actually a form of happiness!

Especially under the current circumstances in Northern Mongolia, having ties with the Southern Emperor Changsheng is not a blessing for the Tashi Tribe!

With this thought, Landuoer sighed; such dazzling men, were destined to be beyond the reach of her, Landuoer. Even if she were outstanding enough to match any man in the world, that man would never be Crown Prince Zhou Mu of Great Zhou, nor the Master of Linyuan City, Shi Wujue!

Men like them, naturally, could only be matched by the most unique woman in the world, and that woman could be Gu Changsheng? Otherwise, how could such men like them both be enchanted by her?

Even though the world knows that Zhou Mu, the Undefeated War God of Great Zhou, is the fiancé of Southern Emperor Changsheng, Landuoer sees clearly that the gaze of Shi Wujue, the Master of Linyuan City, towards Gu Changsheng, is evidently different!

Which maiden doesn’t harbor sentiments? It’s just unexpected that her own admiration, which had barely begun, would end so prematurely!

"Ling Dang, there are things you must remember!" Thoughtful for a moment, Landuoer felt compelled to remind her not-so-clever maid.

"Yes, my lady, tell me." Seeing her lady so serious, Ling Dang moved closer to the window and replied softly.

"From now on, do not mention the dealings with those two men. Ultimately, we are not of their caliber, and desiring such men by our side, we are not qualified!" Landuoer’s gaze dimmed slightly as she spoke.

"My lady!" Ling Dang protested immediately upon hearing this, "My lady, you have noble status, are beautiful, skilled in martial arts — how can you belittle yourself this way?"

"This is not belittling myself, Ling Dang; these are the facts! Those two men, especially that woman, are not ones we can provoke! Listen to me, do not stir trouble with them anymore, or else, if you truly anger them, even I won’t be able to protect you!" Upon hearing this, Landuoer’s face grew even more solemn. Then, she poured out a medicinal pill from the small porcelain vial left by Gu Changsheng and stuffed it in her mouth, handing over the remainder to Ling Dang, "Take the medicine, then distribute the rest!"

"Understood..." Ling Dang responded somewhat reluctantly, grumbling as she poured a pill from the vial, "I don’t even know if this is really an antidote, and my lady, you’ve just taken it..."

"No more nonsense!" Landuoer glared.

"Yes!" Ling Dang fell silent immediately.

Seeing her like that, Landuoer couldn’t help but shake her head again, waving her hand at her, "Alright, you may leave, and once the road dries, we’ll return to the Tashi Tribe!"

"My lady, are we really taking them back?" Ling Dang asked immediately upon hearing this, "Didn’t you say the Clan Leader would surely dislike them?"

"Indeed...Father King surely wouldn’t want to see them, but...alas...go down, let me think before making a decision..." Unwilling to say more, Landuoer waved her hand wearily.

The continuous rain for three days meant that even after it stopped, the road wouldn’t dry overnight.

Not until another two days passed did the road become much drier, and early in the morning, after taking the antidote for the Bowel Cleansing Powder, Landuoer’s health improved significantly as she stepped out of her guest room!

Today was the day they set out to return to the Tashi Tribe, having stayed in the Kelie Tribe for so long, it’s indeed time to head back!

Landuoer was leaving, and the Clan Leader of the Kelie Tribe personally came to the inn to see her off, prepared with generous gifts, an apology for Landuoer’s illness in the Kelie Tribe. Landuoer smiled and graciously accepted. For these small tribes that depend on the Tashi Tribe for survival, ruling with both grace and power is essential — Landuoer, being educated by the Chief of the Tashi tribe in the manner of an heir since childhood, naturally understood this well.

The Clan Leader of the Kelie Tribe escorted Landuoer and her group to the outskirts of the Kelie Tribe before stopping. On arrival, Landuoer had only a dozen injured soldiers with her, but upon departure, including those who came to meet her from the Tashi Tribe and those sent from the Kelie Tribe to escort her, the group expanded once again to over a hundred!

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue, along with Duo Shu and Yuan Bao, totaling five people, slowly rocked over in a carriage, witnessing this team of over a hundred...

Gu Changsheng was quite speechless about this...

Well, this was indeed...

A night battle with wolves in Evil Wolf Valley, where the hundreds of guards by Landuoer’s side died almost completely, and yet, after just a few days, the entourage escorting Landuoer had returned to its previous grandeur...

"Truly a woman of exquisite worth..."

Even Gu Changsheng had to admire Landuoer’s grandiose style!

The Princess of the Tashi Tribe, an heir to the position of Chief, truly was under quite the spotlight...

"Mistress, mistress, they’re over there, they haven’t left yet! Mistress, I told you, since the young girl discovered our whereabouts, we should have swiftly dealt with it! Now it’s just great, we didn’t settle it at the inn, and now there are so many guards by her side again, blocking our path, I’m afraid it’s too late to make a move now..."

The driver Yuan Bao, upon seeing the mighty entourage of Landuoer, spoke with a displeased expression.

"She is Borjigin Nian’s aunt!" In the carriage, Gu Changsheng gave Yuan Bao a sidelong glance, speaking reluctantly.

Actually, she wanted to make a move against Landuoer even more than Yuan Bao did, didn’t she?

Landuoer had schemed against her, Gu Changsheng, that was certain, and even guessed her identity...

But ultimately, she was the blood relative of her close friend. Even if Gu Changsheng really wanted to beat Landuoer to vent her own frustration, she was hesitant due to the connection with Borjigin Nian...

"What should we do? They’re blocking our way! If that girl insists on not letting us reach the Tashi Tribe, wouldn’t this trip be in vain?" Yuan Bao, upon hearing this, immediately widened his eyes. Yuan Bao knew well the grudges between the Tashi Tribe and Borjigin Nian’s Father King. They couldn’t just give up halfway, could they?

This certainly wasn’t in line with the conduct of their own mistress!

"What to do? Just let it be!" Reclining in the carriage, Gu Changsheng coldly snorted and urged Yuan Bao, "Drive the horse past, if Landuoer is smart, she should know how to choose. If she chooses incorrectly, I don’t mind letting her understand what choices a smart person should make!"

Nonviolent resistance?

Although Gu Changsheng wasn’t an extremely violent person, she really didn’t mind nonviolent resistance at all!

The journey to the Tashi Tribe was definitely not something to abandon halfway. Ta You was someone Gu Changsheng must meet, and the second Cold Iron Key was something she had to obtain!

Had it not been for considering the Tashi Tribe as Borjigin Nian’s matrilineal tribe, Gu Changsheng would have long gone recklessly on her way, without needing to be so restrained!

Hmph!

"Yes, yes, mistress is right!" Yuan Bao replied upon hearing, agreeing promptly.

"Those who understand times are wise; if she’s not wise, I’ll have to teach her how to be!" The carriage shook again, and Gu Changsheng spoke idly.

But before they closed in on Landuoer’s group, Yuan Bao suddenly pulled the reins, halting the horse with a face full of uncertainty, "Mistress, someone is coming from over there!"

"Who?" asked Gu Changsheng from the carriage.

"The girl beside that young lady, the one called Ling Dang..." Yuan Bao looked intently, frowning slightly.

This girl, she’s sharp-tongued, and Yuan Bao really didn’t like her at all, didn’t she?

"Oh..." Gu Changsheng initially thought it was Landuoer coming. She was quite interested in the young girl who at such a young age was able to scheme against her. But upon hearing it was the little maid, Gu Changsheng immediately lost interest!

"Mistress, do you think that maid is here to pick a fight?" Yuan Bao recalled how that maid often looked for trouble, feeling a twinge of sympathy. Compared to dealing with little maids, Yuan Bao much preferred interacting with Little Eunuchs. As his lord said, when it comes to women, they’re always trouble, except for his mistress!

Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes immediately upon hearing this!

Looking for trouble?

Landuoer, being in charge, wasn’t foolish at all!

Having guessed her identity and then sending her maid to pick a fight? This scenario was something only their own Yuan Bao, the absent-minded Xiao Er Que, would think of.

While Yuan Bao was worrying, Ling Dang had already ridden up close...
