CHAPTER 61-70

61. Put Down the Riot

Translator: Flying Lines

To help Mu Xiyue come up with a solution as soon as possible, Yanzi asked around in the palace, for some intel abut the tribe. After all, you couldn't fight someone unless you knew him well.

Soon, she managed to get all the news people in the palace knew.

Here was the story. Dissatisfied with the rule of Miao King, the head of the tribe wanted to claim their independence. He, therefore, led his tribe to stand up to the government! At the very beginning, they only strived for independence. As time passed by, they were getting a bit much. They put up riots every now and then. The harassment had become too much to tolerate when the head of the tribe wanted to be the king of Miao Region! Miao King, without doubt, disagreed. Contradiction remained between them when small wars broke out from time to time. The wars brought common people only disaster.

It put Miao King in bewilderment. He had officials and counsellors while none of them helped.

Frequent riots started very long ago, and lasted for a long time. No solution had ever been found yet.

People in town had been suffering.

Yanzi told Mu Xiyue everything she got to know.

"Wow, Yanzi, you're amazing," said Mu Xiyue, "You get so much information in such a short time."

The information was very useful to Mu Xiyue.

"I asked almost everyone I met. Hope it can help you," replied Yanzi. This was all she could do, and Mu Xiyue had to take care of the rest. It would be very hard, as far as Yanzi thought, to put down a civil strife. They were mere women, who weren't powerful enough.

Mu Xiyue thought carefully about it. In the 21st century, all in all, she loved reading books such as The Art of War and Thirty-Six Stratagems. She tried to recall the books. Having analyzed what was happening in Miao Region, Mu Xiyue wrote down a paragraph from The Art of War.

Use a spy who will show the enemy some intel, true or false. The enemy will judge the intel and make plans according to it. Then give the enemy some tangible benefits as the bait and he will come for them, so that we can take the enemy under control. Try to control the enemy in this way, and meanwhile stay in battle array.

Looking at what she had written down satisfactorily, Mu Xiyue said to Yanzi proudly, "Yanzi, look! I've come up with a plan.'

Yanzi read it and failed to understand anything.

"What is it?" asked she with total confusion, "I understand nothing."

"This is part of The Art of War," said Mu Xiyue, "I think of it, combining the reality and many other facts. Go get Miao King here."

She couldn't wait to tell Miao King about it so that she would leave earlier and got the solution to parasitic poison.

"Go get your king here," Yanzi said to the guard at the door, "My Lady has found out a way to put down the riots."

"Your Majesty, I've got something to tell you," said the guard, arriving at Miao King's hall.

"What is it?"

"Her Highness said she found out the way to put down the riots," reported the guard, "And she asked to see you."

"What? Okay, okay. I'm going to see her right away," replied Miao King happily. Finally, there was some good news.
