Chapter 542 -260: Breakup of the Cauldron – Part 2

About the specifics of the Yi People over there, one can find out comprehensive information directly from the Five Poisons Sect and Lan Zhaoyun.

And the reality did not go against Lu Yuan’s expectations.

“Your Majesty, indeed our Miao Tribe has many marriages with the southwestern Yi People. Even at the border between the two tribes, there are many tribes that have become indistinguishable as Miao or Yi.

Some of these tribes have even established their own countries and become small states under the reign of Da Changhe Country.

Most of these tribal states are allies of our tribe.”

After receiving Lu Yuan’s message, Lan Zhaoyun hurriedly came to Baling City, then was summoned hastily to answer questions.

Fortunately, he had prepared for the questions on his way here and confidently said, “I dare not say too much. However, if Your Majesty wants to find out the truth about Da Changhe Country and its geography, it would not be difficult for our Sect.”

I only need to go back and organize it a little, then I can present the maps and documents. When the army sets out, we can also send guides to show the way.

Even recruiting some Yi people to join our ranks, our Sect can help, making them submit to the Royal Teacher and contribute troops and supplies.”

Lan Zhaoyun said this with great confidence.

And he was indeed confident.

Thanks to the many years of intermarriage between the Miao People and the Yi People, the Five Poisons Sect actually had considerable influence on Da Changhe Country.

I dare not say too much, but helping Lu Yuan recruit tens of thousands of Yi people, and finding some guides who are familiar with the local geography, would not be difficult at all.

Seeing his father-in-law so confident, Lu Yuan could not help but smile and said joyfully, “If that’s the case, I’ll leave this matter to you. At the beginning of next year, Great Chu will send troops to Da Changhe Country. When the army moves, the route, direction, and enemy situation will all rely on you.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhaoyun did not hesitate to respond, “Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take care of this matter.”

As Lu Yuan and Lan Cai’er had two sons in succession, and two heirs of Great Chu were born, the bond between the Five Poisons Sect and Chu State deepened.

At this time, Lu Yuan was still in power, and Lan Zhaoyun did not dare to harbor any small thoughts.

But he had already placed all his hopes on his two grandsons.

If one of them could inherit the Great Chu in the future, the new king with half of the Miao People’s bloodline would surely take care of his maternal tribe for the sake of his mother, wouldn’t he?

At that time, the rise of the Miao People, and even being relied on by the new king and active in the Chu State government, would no longer be a dream.

Especially recently, Lan Cai’er revealed to her father that Lu Yuan intended to train his eldest son to become an Inborn Grandmaster, which strengthened Lan Zhaoyun’s belief.

To train his legitimate eldest son to become an Inborn Grandmaster – isn’t this treatment reserved for a crown prince?

And now, as a grandfather, he needed to help Lu Yuan, his future king, accumulate more achievements, in order to earn more merits for the future crown prince’s enthronement.

Although Lu Yuan currently only has Lan Cai’er as his woman, considering his Inborn Grandmaster lifespan, there’s still another hundred years or so left, and there are too many variables.

If he were to favor other women and father more princes, who knows if there would be disputes over the succession?

It is possible.

And by then, whether his own grandson will win the position of crown prince or not will depend on his own merits and his maternal Miao tribe.

Therefore, no matter what, Lan Zhaoyun, as a grandfather, had to earn more merits and a solid foundation for his grandsons’ future.

Our Sect Leader Lan had already realized this long ago.

…

The court was busy, the army was busy, and even the Jianghu under the jurisdiction of the Five Poisons Sect was busy at this time.

Everyone inside and outside the court was bustling.

On the contrary, after making various decisions and arrangements, Lu Yuan did not have to manage specific affairs, leaving him with free time.

Fortunately, he was a highly self-disciplined person.

Though having plenty of free time, he mostly spent it on cultivation, and occasionally when he felt tired, he would enjoy some quality time with Lan Cai’er, indulging in matrimonial bliss.

These days were fulfilling and comfortable.

Until an unwelcome guest arrived.

In the Royal Palace, Lu Yuan looked at the invitation brought by the Inner Attendant with the familiar name, and the written ceremony of ten million silver tales, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and sighed softly.

“What is meant to come, will eventually come. I’ve been hiding for so long, it’s already nice to let me prepare for so long.”

Lu Yuan shook his head, then laughed, “But I can still get another ten million silver tales right before the end, it’s like being given a pillow just as I’m getting sleepy. Dan Ding Path knows that I am currently short of Su Country’s assistance, so they are eagerly sending so much money, really solving my urgent needs.”

Just in time, to rake in this last sum and raise enough military funds.

In addition, clarify our attitude with them.

I want to see, what will be the reaction of Dan Ding Path?”

With his strength gradually improving now, at this moment, Lu Yuan no longer had the same fear of Dan Ding Path as he did in the past.

If he were to face them now, it might bring him a lot of pressure.

But it absolutely couldn’t be said that he has no power to fight back at all.

Protecting himself and Great Chu should not be a big problem.

The only variable would be whether suddenly turning against Dan Ding Path at this critical moment of the invasion of Da Changhe Country would make the attack impossible.

But if it really comes to that point.

Then, for the sake of his own life and safety, and for prudence, giving up the attack on Da Changhe Country would be acceptable to Lu Yuan.
