Chapter 168: Seniors' Grievances
Shui Manyi was already a lot more sober at this time, and when he heard that Dugu Qiongtian knew so much about their Shui family, Shui Manyi put away his appearance, and his voice became solemn, "Who are you?" ”
"My name is Dugu Qiongtian, Long Xuantian's apprentice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (шщш.щ novel network debut)"
The first name didn't make Shui Manyi realize who he was facing, but when Long Xuantian's name fell into Shui Manyi's ears, the young man's eyes widened.
"You're the apprentice of the bad guy who ruined our family?" The watery eyes were red, and he stared at Dugu Qiongtian angrily.
Dugu Qiongtian gently rubbed his temples, "Shui Gongzi, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to ask you to help us go to sea." Maybe you won't believe what I'm saying now, but there is also a secret to what happened a hundred years ago, and my master once mentioned it once when he took me to Longyuan City. ”
Shui Manyi shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand, and sat down on the table with his knees crossed, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here, listen, I can hear everything you say." ”
"A hundred years ago, your grandfather Shui Cangjian monopolized all the fish oil business in Longyuan City, because at that time, only your sailing skills and the waterways you discovered could safely reach the Garo Abyss, catch the sailfish there, and obtain very valuable sailfish oil."
Shui Manyi nodded, indicating that all of what Dugu Qiongtian said was correct.
"Relying on the fish oil business, the Shui family has accumulated a very impressive fortune. However, wealth did not satisfy your grandfather's **, he quickly organized a group of mercenaries and began to loot everywhere, looting a large number of surrounding counties and even the main city. It was rumored that Shui Cangjian planned to claim the throne in Longyuan City, but at that time, the royal family of Rosai Kingdom was preparing to deal with the attack of the beast tide in the Sunset Forest, so they had no time to take care of the affairs of Longyuan City. ”
The expression on Shui Manyi's face stiffened a little, "I've never heard of these things. ”
Dugu Qiongtian showed a relaxed look, it seemed that Shui Manyi was not the kind of unreasonable person, so he asked Ziyan to pour Shui Manyi a cup of tea and continued:
"The name Shui Cangjian became a nightmare for hundreds of people around Longyuan City at that time, I don't know how many happy and happy families were broken up by Shui Cangjian, men were pulled into the mercenary group to become mercenaries, and women were forced to wash and cook for the mercenary group, becoming machines for endless labor. And the children, the older ones were trained to become new mercenaries, and many of the younger ones were killed. ”
Dugu Qiongtian paused for a moment, calmed down his heavy mood and continued: "However, at this time, the royal family of the Rossai Kingdom has not yet recovered from the impact of the beast tide, and the only Holy Judge, Master Kusong, has also died in the hands of Mo Feng, and he really has no ability to deal with the affairs of Longyuan City. ”
"Later, after my master Long Xuantian learned about what happened here, he couldn't bear to watch the people suffer again, so he broke into the army and killed your grandfather. That's how it happened. ”
Shui Man's head lowered, "I never knew that my grandfather was such a character, but there have always been people pointing fingers at me behind my back, saying that I am a bad person, that I am a child of a murderer......"
"No, you're not a bad person, the sins committed by your grandfather have been washed away with his own blood, and you don't know about it at all, let alone participate in it, so you're all innocent."
Shui Manyi was silent for a long time, then raised his head to look at Dugu Qiongtian's eyes, and said slowly, "Thank you, thank you for these things you told me today, many of the troubles and knots that have been bothering me all at once, and now I have thought about it clearly." ”
Dugu Qiongtian breathed a sigh of relief, "Shui Gongzi, can you help us go to sea to the Jialuo Abyss?" ”
Shui Manyi shook his head, "I'd love to help you, but I can't help it." After the death of Grandpa Tai, our Shui family suffered a lot of disasters, and those enemies who were offended by us before came to the door to take revenge. My grandfather also died in the fight, and my father survived at a young age, and then our family fell into the middle of the road and never went to sea again. So in my lifetime, I haven't even been on a boat. ”
