Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 299 The New Young Master of the Chi Clan

Wearing a black robe with wide sleeves, he stood alone, untainted by the world's vanity under the brilliant fireworks. He was like the black bamboo on the holy mountain, lonely, but always upright and dignified.

"It's been three years, and Your Highness still hasn't let go of that person."

Ye Jiayun hid behind the stone pillar, her heart trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but murmur softly.

But no matter how soft her voice was, Ning Yunxiao, a martial artist with extremely sharp hearing, immediately detected her presence.

"Who?" he asked warily.

"Your Highness, it's me, Yun'er."

Ye Jiayun bit her lip, suppressed her emotions, responded obediently, and walked forward slowly with a gentle smile on her face.

Jiang Lige had been gone for three years, and some opportunists had sent many women with similar appearances to Ning Yunxiao. Some of them even looked very similar after being dressed up, but Ye Jiayun had never seen a woman like him around Ning Yunxiao.

He is so clear-headed that no matter how similar they are, he can tell them apart immediately.

No matter how similar those people are, they are not the person he treasures in his heart.

If there is anyone who can still stand by Ning Yunxiao occasionally, it is Ye Jiayun.

Of course, Ye Jiayun knew in her heart that the only reason Ning Yunxiao could still treat her with a good attitude was because her grandfather was Ye Huaizhang.

Ning Yunxiao is a person who respects teachers the most. Ye Huaizhang is the prince's tutor. Even for the sake of his grandfather, Ning Yunxiao will not make things difficult for her.

As Ye Jiayun expected, after hearing her answer, Ning Yunxiao's eyes calmed down slightly and asked lightly.

"Miss Ye, what brings you here?"

Ye Jiayun smiled, stepped forward and bowed slowly, "Yun'er is here to deliver a letter to His Highness on behalf of my grandfather."

Ye Huaizhang has become a general of the Prince's faction in recent years. Whether it was Ning Yunxiao's implementation of reforms, revision of laws, or helping the poor, Ye Huaizhang made a great contribution. Therefore, Ning Yunxiao now relies more and more on Ye Huaizhang.

Because of this reliance, the things Ye Huaizhang is now handling are becoming more and more important. For some important matters, Ye Huaizhang handed the task of delivering messages to Ye Jiayun.

On the one hand, Ye Huaizhang did not trust others and was afraid that the news would leak out; on the other hand, Ye Huaizhang might also have the intention of bringing Ning Yunxiao and Ye Jiayun together.

Although there are many noble ladies in the capital, only a handful of them can meet Mr. Ye's standards in virtue, talent and appearance. Therefore, it would be better for him to know his granddaughter well, and besides...

Ye Huaizhang knew very well what Ye Jiayun felt for Ning Yunxiao.

After all, she is the child he raised. Since she has this intention and it is harmless, Ye Huaizhang is happy to see it happen.

After all, the position of Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace cannot remain vacant forever.

Ye Jiayun probably knew what Ye Huaizhang was thinking, but Ning Yunxiao didn't know and spoke frankly.

"Message?"

"That's right." Ye Jiayun nodded and told the truth, "It's news from the Chi tribe."

Ning Yunxiao was subconsciously stunned when he suddenly heard these two words. After the war, Ning Yunxiao had not heard the name of the Chi tribe for a long time.

After Jiang Lige left, Manzhu retired, and all matters of the Chi tribe were handed over to the current high priest Dunzhu.

Dunzhu's methods are not as soft as Manzhu's. Compared with Manzhu's "revenge", Dunzhu wants to "restore the country" more.

Now that Zuoyou Poxiao has been destroyed and the Three Kingdoms period has become a thing of the past, why can't the Chi clan have a piece of land in this world?

Ning Yunxiao was not unaware of Dunzhu's ambition, but when he completely annihilated Poxiao that year, Ning Yunxiao also borrowed the power of the Chi clan.

So he just turned a blind eye and watched the internal strife of the Chi tribe for the past few years without making a fuss. Now that there is news from the Chi tribe, he is afraid that the internal strife has been resolved.

Thinking of this, Ning Yunxiao slowly asked, "Chi Clan, what's the news?"

"It's the new young prince of the Chi tribe who has succeeded to the throne. He said he has drafted a memorial and is heading to the capital to pay a visit to the emperor. His purpose is unknown."

"The new young master? Who?"

"She's said to be Manzhu's apprentice, named Luosang. She's incredibly mysterious, and no one has ever seen her true face. Two years ago, Donzhu advocated for the restoration of the nation, and the two factions within the Chi tribe were locked in a fierce conflict. This new young master represented Manzhu back then. Initially, everyone thought she was just the old priest's beloved disciple, someone with connections, and kept a distance. But who would have thought she was such a capable person? In two years, she not only quelled the Chi tribe's internal strife, but has now become the new young master. Even Donzhu, who controlled the Chi tribe for so many years, is helpless. She's truly remarkable."

Ye Jiayun frowned with some worry when she said this. "I'm afraid this person is very scheming. Who knows what kind of waves he will stir up when he comes to Beijing this time."

"Luosang." Ning Yunxiao repeated the name silently, and said indifferently, "It's okay. If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers. If the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Judging from the name alone, Luosang means auspiciousness and happiness in the Chi tribe culture, and expresses the wish for a better life.

But Ning Yunxiao didn't think that the person who could make Dunzhu bow down to him would be a kind person who wholeheartedly prays for good things. But it didn't matter, it all depended on what their purpose was in coming to Beijing this time.

After all, Jiang Lige was once the young master of the Chi tribe. As long as it was not excessive, Ning Yunxiao was willing to protect the Chi tribe for her.

But if the ambitions of the Chi tribe have really threatened the current peace, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Ye Jiayun didn't know that the balance in Ning Yunxiao's heart had already tilted, and just responded with a smile.

"Yes, with His Highness here, we are all relieved."

Ning Yunxiao nodded without saying anything.

……

The news that the Chi tribe had entered the capital spread throughout the court the next day.

Consistent with the information Ning Yunxiao had obtained, the memorial only stated that he would visit Beijing, but did not specify the purpose. This made Emperor Shengwu a little unsure.

However, Sheng Ling is a big country, and no matter what the other party's purpose is, it must demonstrate the style of a big country.

In other words, if the Chi people wanted to enter the capital, he not only had to allow them to do so, but he also had to welcome them with full etiquette.

Emperor Shengwu thought about it and threw this hot potato to Ning Yunxiao, ordering him to lead the Ministry of Rites to welcome the envoys of the Chi tribe into the capital.

Ning Yunxiao is the prince, and no one is more suitable to do this than him.

Ning Yunxiao also understood, so he had no objection and accepted the matter calmly. Then he led a group of ministers from the Ministry of Rites to start working.

From the ceremonial guard to welcome the envoys, to the inns for accommodation, to the details of the banquet, Ning Yunxiao personally reviewed them one by one to ensure that nothing was missed.

With Ning Yunxiao personally in charge, all matters were quickly sorted out and prepared in an orderly manner.

Just when everything was nearing completion, another secret letter, urgently sent over 800 miles, was delivered to Ning Yunxiao, still concerning the Chi clan.

Ning Yunxiao was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of War at that time and had no time to think about the Chi tribe, so he handed the letter to Gu Fan.

"After reading it, tell me about it."

"Yes." Gu Fan agreed honestly. He unfolded the letter and read it. Before he could report, he got angry. "Is this new young master of the Chi tribe going to rebel?"
