Chapter 325: Within the Lu Kingdom
After finishing the business, Jinghong specially prepared a table of food and wine to reward himself and Yun Qi for today's hard work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, the ones they ate were full of aura, which was completely different from the ones that Jinghong gave to the villagers outside.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, the villagers resumed their normal life from sunrise to sunset, and Qinghui went to his parents next door to explain his whereabouts.
As soon as Qinghui's relatives heard that he was going to do something for the "divine envoy", not only did the two old men immediately respond with honor, but even Qinghui's brother and sister-in-law, younger siblings, nephews and nieces were all proud.
In their opinion, it is really an honor to be able to saddle the horse for the benefactor.
In particular, this benefactor is also a noble oracle.
After Qinghui's parents, brother and sister-in-law, told Qinghui about the precautions for going out and the need to serve the "divine envoys" well, they reluctantly put Qinghui back into his own yard to accompany the "divine envoys".
Jing Hong and Yun Qi were very grateful for their enthusiasm and sincerity, in order to prevent Qinghui from patronizing this village with rebellious soldiers or gangsters, the two first thought carefully, and then used earth, mountain stones and other materials to build a simple but strong city wall around the village, and finally set up a set of medium-sized defensive magic circles in the ancestral hall in the center of the village as the last barrier against the enemy.
As for the low-grade spirit stones that replenished the energy of the magic circle and the method of opening the magic circle, Jing Hong explained the secret to Qinghui's old father and eldest brother.
With these two things, coupled with the underground escape passage dug by the villagers themselves and the knives, guns, axes, longbows and arrows they picked up from the battlefield, Qinghui finally no longer has to worry about his family and fellow villagers being killed by soldiers and bandits.
On the fifth day in a blink of an eye, early in the morning, Jing Hong, Yun Qi and Qinghui left this small village at the junction of Qi and Lu under the reluctant gaze of the villagers.
For ordinary people like Qinghui, it is not an easy task to cross the border line with a tense atmosphere and constant confrontations, but because of the presence of Jing Hong and Yun Qi, two immortal cultivators whose strength has surpassed the cognitive scope of normal people in the Aojia Continent, the three of them finally crossed the border in an extremely relaxed and freehand attitude, and then they also unknowingly entered the first major city near the border of the Lu country.
The three of them found the most popular teahouse in the family and sat down, and Jing Hong first ordered a pot of good tea and a lot of snacks to fill Qinghui's stomach, and then used his spiritual sense to collect the news he wanted with Yun Qi.
The reason why they appeared here was because when they crossed the border, they happened to hear the soldiers of the Lu State gossiping about a poignant story.
The protagonists of the story are none other than the lord of the city and the lady of the lord.
According to the soldiers, the wife of the lord of the castle was the only daughter of the late old lord and his wife, and since there was no son in the family, the old lord promised his beautiful and capable only daughter to the only son left by his sister and brother-in-law, who died young, that is, the current lord of the castle.
The current city lord is raised by the old city lord, although he is average, but he is better than knowing the roots, the old city lord will marry his daughter to him, on the one hand, he is counting on his nephew to help his baby daughter set up a household after a hundred years with his wife and his wife, on the other hand, it is also to give himself a relatively better future for his nephew who has no parents to take care of, family wealth, and at the same time is not literate, and he is not martial.
However, the old city lord's hard work failed to bring him the results he expected.
When the old city lord and his wife were alive, the current city lord loved his elegant and beautiful wife very much, and although he was in the environment of a group of wives and concubines, he was always the only one with his cousin.
In addition, the two have never blushed in the past 13 years, and they have also given birth to three sons and two daughters together, so it is obvious that the relationship between the husband and wife is extremely harmonious.
The old city lord was completely relieved, and the authority in his hands gradually shifted to the hands of the current city lord.
In the seventeenth year of the marriage of the current lord and his cousin, the current lord finally replaced the old lord and became the rightful owner of the city.
In the autumn of that year, the old city lord's wife and the old city lord died violently one after another, and the current city lord's wife lost her parents and became ill.
In the second half of the following year, the twin daughters of the current lord of the castle married off to other cities.
In the third year, the eldest son and second son of the current city lord disappeared at the same time, and the current city lord's wife's condition worsened again, but the current city lord accepted two noble concubines one after another.
In the spring of the fourth year, the two noble concubines who had only entered the door for less than half a year gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the youngest son, who was only twelve years old at the current city lord's wife, was almost poisoned in the front yard of the city lord's mansion.
If it weren't for the whim of the city lord's wife that day, who had to go to see her son in the scorching sun at noon, her poor little son would undoubtedly die at the hands of the concubine who gave birth to a son.
Although the noble concubine who was stolen and captured was finally beaten to death by the loyal old servant beside the city lord's wife, her youngest son also became a perennial bedridden medicine jar because of his severe physical loss.
Of course, what made her most upset was that when she was anxious and worried about her son's body, her husband took two concubines and four maidservants.
She finally survived another four years and married a daughter-in-law to her sick and weak youngest son, but her husband suddenly seized the power of her to run the family and "invited" her, her son and daughter-in-law to a manor outside the city to "recuperate".
Time flies and two years have passed, and the little daughter-in-law of the current city lord's wife has not been able to give birth to her grandchildren, while the concubines and concubines of the current city lord have jumped out of the bellies of different women one after another.
The city lord's wife, her parents, and children had long been thrown out of the sky by the current city lord.
The tablets of the old city lord's wife and the ancestors of the old city lord in the ancestral hall of the city lord's mansion have all been cleared, and now all the people enshrined there are the parents and ancestors of the current city lord.
The two daughters born to the city lord's wife went home to the province and were blocked outside the palace gate by their father's concubine and insulted, and the city lord's wife searched for many years to find her eldest son and second son, only to find that the two children had become disabled.
And what she couldn't stand the most was that the real culprit behind the assassination of these two children turned out to be the current city lord, that is, the biological father of these two children.
Their retinue had already died to protect them, and they themselves had suffered because they were too young and the world was too chaotic.
