Zhao Yi followed the girl surnamed Jing into Junshan City, it was the first month of the fifth year of the auspicious year of the Gale Dynasty, and the Lantern Festival of this year had just passed, and the streets and alleys in Junshan City still had the breath of the Lantern Festival.

Zhao Yi knew the true identity of the girl surnamed Jing and her name, and it was also on the day she arrived in Junshan City.

Many years later, Zhao Yi, whose identity and status have long been different, often said that the day he followed Jinglan into Junshan City was the beginning of a turning point in his life.

The girl's name is Jinglan, she is the young lady of Jingfu, and this Jingfu is one of the three surnames of Chudi, the head of the family Jinghu is the commander of the Shenfeng Army under the command of the King of Chu, and Jinghu's son Jing Song is the captain of the Shenfeng Army Scout Battalion. The Jing family is a typical military family, a high-ranking and powerful family in Chu.

On the day when Jinglan took Zhao Yi into Jingfu, it was when King Xuanyuan Yan of Chu came to Jingfu, this King of Chu was one of the four princes who led the troops into King Qin of Los Angeles that year.

Xuanyuan Yan's fief was in Jingzhou, and later he took the opportunity to occupy Jiaozhou in the south, and then south is the southern Xinjiang with 100,000 mountains, which is occupied by various barbarian tribes.

Moreover, the southern Xinjiang of the 100,000 mountains, that is a mysterious place, the world says that there are not only countless treasures hidden, but also a lot of strange people and strange people, according to legend, the witch god cult that made the people of the good and evil in China heard of it, is from the southern Xinjiang.

Taoism in Middle-earth is in decline, and now there is still a branch of Taoism incense left in Taiyi Mountain, which is also related to the invasion of Middle-earth by the Wushen Sect.

After the king of Chu returned to his fiefdom, he kept his eyes on it and devoted himself to management, based on Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, but let him run a county with a lot of weather.

But this king of Chu has been sad in recent years, and he has been extremely aggrieved, this is because of the lack of successors, the heirs have withered, and the only son was unfortunately killed in the war with the barbarian tribes in southern Xinjiang two years ago.

This is because Jingzhou occupied by the king of Chu belongs to the land of the four wars, the fief of the king of Dongyue in the northeast, the territory of the king of Langya in the southeast, the ambitious Rong state in the northwest, and the territory of the king of Chengdu in the upper reaches of the river in the west.

Moreover, in the south, there is also a southern frontier where barbarian tribes often make trouble.

The king of Chu, who has passed the age of sixties, has been worried and anxious all day long, seeing that his body is not as good as day by day, but he is in a hurry, but he is at a loss.

Just after the New Year, a secret report reached the hands of the old king of Chu, and the restless king of Dongyue was secretly planning to send a large army to besiege the city of Jiangling in Jiangxia County. Today, the old King of Chu came to Jingfu to discuss the countermeasures with Jinghu, the commander of the Shenfeng Army, and by the way, he also showed his favor to Jingfu.

When Jing Hu led the housekeeper of the mansion to send the king of Chu out of the gate of the Jing Mansion, he happened to meet Jing Lan who was returning to the mansion and Zhao Yi who was following her.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Jing Lan had no choice but to go forward to salute the old King of Chu, and the old King of Chu saw that it was the eldest lady Jing Lan who was known as the "talented woman of the soldiers" in the Jing family, and suddenly the old man was open, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Jing Lan, and a pair of old eyes that were already a little faint looked up and down, and his mouth was full of praise.

For the Jing family girl in front of her, not only Jing Fu herself, but also the old King Chu did not regard her as an ordinary lady.

How could a woman have made her eyebrows, and this girl of the Jing family is the woman of Chudi.

Jing Hu behind the old King Chu bowed his head slightly to Jing Lan, but he didn't pay attention to Zhao Yi who was standing on the side.

Zhao Yi looked at his own uncle coldly, the old Chu king, who is now in power in Chu, and his heart was a little touched, this old Chu king he had several faces, and when his father was alive, the relationship with the old Chu king was not bad, and when he met it at first glance today, Zhao Yi's heart suddenly gave birth to a lot of emotion.

While talking to Jinghu Jinglan's father and daughter, the old king of Chu casually glanced at Zhao Yi on the side, and suddenly he was shocked, and a pair of slightly dizzy eyes were also wide open, after looking at Zhao Yi a few times, the old king of Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked quietly on his face: "Niece Lan, who is this young man?"

Regarding the change in the expression of the old Chu King after seeing Zhao Yi, Jinghu Jinglan's father and daughter on the side all saw it in their eyes.

Jing Lan saw that the old King of Chu paid attention to Zhao Yi, and also took the initiative to ask, the surprise in her heart flashed, and she replied with a smile: "Back to the prince, this is a country boy that Lan'er met outside on this trip, his name is Zhao Yi, Lan'er saw that he was lonely and helpless, and he was also clever, so he took him back to the mansion and wanted to arrange an errand for him to make a living." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to Zhao Yi and said, "Zhao Yi, don't come over and kowtow to the prince." ”

Zhao Yi was also born as a prince, and he had also been an infantry captain in the army, so he was summoned like this, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to attack in front of everyone, so he had to pretend that nothing happened, and obediently walked to the old King Chu and knelt down to salute, and said in his heart: "Kneel down and salute your own uncle, it's nothing." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Yi walked in front of the King of Chu, knelt down and kowtowed, and then got up and left to stand aside, behaving calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, without showing a trace of nervousness and panic.

Jinghu watched Zhao Yi's every move in his eyes, as the master of an army, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, he still has some energy in his eyes, and the young man in front of him is definitely not as simple as his daughter said, a lonely and helpless country boy.

The old king of Chu silently recited Zhao Yi's name a few times, and affirmed his guess even more in his heart, although after many years, the appearance and expression of the young man in front of him have also changed a little, but in the end, he is a blood relative, and he had many contacts with that person back then, and his memory is still fresh.

The old Chu King nodded slightly at Zhao Yi, did not move, but just said casually: "My Chu State is the time to employ people, and this young man came at the right time." ”

Jing Hu didn't know what the old King Chu was thinking, and after listening to the words of the old King Chu, he thought that he was appreciating the young man in front of him, and at the same time, he was also praising his daughter's insight and knowledge, so he echoed on the side: "What the prince said is that this also shows what the people of my Chu country want." ”

The old king of Chu laughed, and after glancing at Zhao Yi meaningfully, he waved his hand at Jinghu, and then got into the car parked on the side of the road, and left Jingfu surrounded by several palace attendants and a team of palace guards.

Jing Hu watched King Chu's car disappear at the east end of the street, and then he turned around and looked at his daughter carefully, and turned the perseverance and majesty on his face into love.

Jinglan changed her usual steady and calm demeanor, reached out to hold her father's arm like a little daughter, and lied affectionately, Zhao Yi's eyes rolled when she saw it, this girl really made him incomprehensible.

Jing Hu smiled and said a few words to comfort his daughter, but he didn't mention anything else, he patted his daughter's shoulder, looked up at Zhao Yi, the expression on his face changed instantly, his eyes were calm, and his edge was hidden.

Zhao Yi saw that Jinghu was looking at him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was similar to that when he first saw Jinglan.

Jing Hu bowed slightly, and then instructed the old butler standing on the side: "Binggong, settle this Zhao Yi brother for me." ”

"Yes, sir. The old butler replied.

Zhao Yi thanked Jing Hu for saluting, and then saluted Jing Lan again, before following the old butler called Bing Gong into Jing Mansion through the side door.

Zhao Yi didn't know if the old King of Chu recognized him, but for him, it didn't matter, he was no longer the delicate prince who was kept in captivity in King Zhao's mansion back then, and he was no longer the king of the overlord who was divided by King Xuanyuan Li of Zhao after being usurped, he is now Zhao Yi, a teenager whose parents died, who has experienced wandering, experienced battlefield battles, and survived on his own.

The reason why Zhao Yi followed Jinglan to Jingzhou this time was for two reasons, one is because the old king of Chu was the only brother of the vassal king who had a good relationship with his father during his lifetime, although the king of Qin also participated in the battle against the old king of Chu, but according to the information that Zhao Yi learned later, the army led by the old king of Chu did not enter Los Angeles, and did not participate in the massacre in the city. Moreover, in the whole process of King Qin, the army of King Chu only symbolically came into contact with the army of King Zhao a few times, which can be seen that the old King of Chu did not forget his brotherhood with his father, and the move of leading the army into Beijing King Qin may have been forced by the situation and forced to do it.

Now Zhao Yi has nowhere to go, and it just so happened that Jinglan asked him to come to Jingzhou with her, which was a reminder to Zhao Yi.

The second reason why Zhao Yi came to Jingzhou is more direct and more important, from the first time she met Jinglan, she was chased and killed by the horse bandits in White Horse City, and later Zhao Yi followed Jinglan and encountered several forces to intercept and kill them, in addition to some mysterious Jianghu forces, even Rong Guo also joined in.

This had to make Zhao Yi curious, an upright cardamom girl, even if she was the eldest lady of the Jingfu Mansion in Chudi, but such an identity could not attract the pursuit of all forces, right? The only explanation is that this girl has secrets or things that those people want.

Zhao Yi felt that the girl did not look like a bad person who committed a heinous crime, and at the same time was moved by the girl's attitude towards him, and secondly, he also wanted to find out what secrets were hidden in the girl's body, so despite being treated by the girl's eyes and even hostility, Zhao Yi also followed the girl all the way to this Junshan City.

Met the old King of Chu at the gate of Jingfu, but it was an accident, Zhao Yi didn't expect to meet the old King of Chu there, originally he also planned to go to the Chu King's Mansion in private to find out the true attitude of this uncle, this time he took a look, but it saved him a lot of trouble.

It's nothing more than a few situations, if the old king of Chu recognizes him, I believe that he will take action next, either to recognize him, or to secretly get rid of him to prevent future troubles.

If the old king of Chu did not recognize him, it means that his own uncle was not impressed by him, and he had already forgotten his nephew, who should have died in that war.

If this is the case, Zhao Yi let go of a matter of concern, since even the old King of Chu, who had crossed paths with him many times, could no longer recognize him, then he didn't have to worry about the other three princes who entered King Qin in Beijing back then, and those three had never even met him.

In the following days, Jingfu was quite polite to Zhao Yi, and did not treat him as a subordinate who came to Jingfu to seek errands, entertained him with good wine and food every day, and did not restrict his freedom, let him go out, and the old housekeeper Bing Gong would come to Zhao Yi every day to greet Zhao Yi.

It's just that since that day, Zhao Yi has never seen Jing Lan again, and Jing Hu, the head of the Jing family, has never seen him again.
