Chapter 1427: Meeting
The Alava Tribe gave her a sense of familiarity.
Qiao Mu had only found the name of this tribe familiar when she saw a red figure leading a dozen people with a distinctive tribal air into the main hall.
This red-clothed young lady was around 18 years old, and she was dressed sharply in a crimson riding outfit paired with black riding boots. Her hair was tied up, showing a pet.i.te face that was fair like the moon.
There was a tiny but extremely familiar dimple in her left cheek.
Qiao Mu’s eyes bulged, and she shot up from her seat almost uncontrollably.
The crown prince was startled and looked up at his wifey who had suddenly stood up.
While at this time, the red-clothed young lady had seemingly also noticed this person who had abruptly stood up. Upon registering that stoic face of Qiao Mu’s, her eyes instantly turned round.
However, before she could stride up to meet up with Qiao Mu, a burly man with stubble suddenly stepped out from the Akedo Tribe and laughed boorishly with a contemptuous expression. “Haha, the little rats from the Alava Tribe actually have the courage to come out from their tiny caves and travel into the borders of Northern Mo. How have you been hiding during this journey?”
The people from the Akedo Tribe broke into uproarious laughter. They completely did not care if they were attracting the attention of other guests as they belittled the red-clothed young lady from the Alava Tribe on the spot.
The red-clothed young lady untied her treasured sword from her waist and struck it toward the burly man’s chest. She then shoved him backward with it and stated frostily, “Today is the major birthday of Northern Mo’s royal queen dowager, so this young lady will not be stooping to your level. Scram.”
The burly man with stubble from the Akedo Tribe immediately jumped up and hurled his fist furiously at the red-clothed young lady.
His action incurred the dissatisfaction of many Northern Mo officials. Each of them was looking coldly at him with suppressed anger, but because he was a guest and the king and queen dowager had yet to say anything, they naturally could not be the first to step out and make unwarranted charges.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, crack!* A wily green vine shot out from who knows where and whipped fiercely at the burly man’s big fist.
“Ow!” A b.l.o.o.d.y welt appeared on the burly man’s fist from this strike, and he roared uncontrollably.
Among everyone present, the invited sects and patriarchs from the patrician families all couldn’t resist twitching their mouths.
It was coming, it was coming, it was coming again!
This unlucky man just had to behave so rampantly in front of the young crown prince consort. You got served!
Although most of the people did not know who had made the move, they all secretly felt pleased.
This person from the Akedo Tribe actually acted in spite of appearances and attacked another one of the Northern Mo’s guests during the queen dowager’s birthday feast. They indeed needed to be taught ceremony and protocol.
“Who, who attacked me, who?” That burly man with the stubble turned around furiously as he scanned back and forth through the main hall.
Everyone glowered at him with stern expressions.
Even the queen dowager, who was constantly smiling, had also turned austere at this time as her furious gaze settled on the burly man.
The king smacked the table and hollered furiously, “Who are you? How can you be so discourteous.”
The burly man with the stubble was still respectful and fearful of the king of Northern Mo. He quickly put his hand horizontally across his chest when he heard this and saluted deferentially to the king. “Honorable King of Northern Mo, this humble one is a chiliarch of the Akedo Tribe, Kason.”
“This humble one has come with our young chief to congratulate Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Northern Mo and present gifts for her birthday!”
