The old man's house was in the innermost part of the village, and after he opened the courtyard door and let Rong Jing and Xue Rou into the house, he said, "Young master, you and Manager Xue will rest for a while, and the old slave will go and make a pot of tea."

Rong Jing snorted and didn't speak, Xue Rou smiled and said, "It's troublesome old man." ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "No trouble, no trouble, the little old man's name is Yiping, Manager Xue can directly call the name of the little old man, Manager Xue will rest with the prince for a while, and I will come when I go." ”

After Yi Ping finished speaking, he bowed to Rong Jing before retreating, and after he left, Xue Rou looked at the room with only two tables, chairs and beds, and even said that it was a little too simple, and squinted at Rong Jing and said, "Who are these people?" ”

Rong Jing leaned back on the chair a little lazily and said casually: "That's what you see, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have nothing to rely on and need to rely on this king." ”

Xue Rou looked at Rong Jing, and the corners of her mouth showed some amusement.

"When will His Royal Highness King Ling sympathize with others and generously use his own money to subsidize irrelevant people?"

Rong Jing said with a dark face when he heard this: "You are willing to take care of them when this king is not ......" Rong Jing frowned fiercely, and he didn't know what to think of and snorted lowly, although he didn't say the latter words, but it was enough for Xue Rou to know that he was not willing to care about the life and death of these people.

Xue Rou couldn't help frowning, Rong Jing has always been casual, with his temperament, if he really doesn't want to care, who can force him to make a move?

Xue Rou remembered that when those people saluted at the entrance of the village just now, they touched their foreheads with their hands, and their bodies were lying on the ground, and they couldn't help but move slightly in their hearts.

That kind of action is a bit like the unique etiquette of bowing to the royal family in some ancient tribes, she had seen it when she had been to some tribes in the extreme north pole when she was a merchant with Qin Xi before, this is only in the face of the most respected and highest status of the people will have, but she can be sure that there is absolutely no habit of practicing this kind of etiquette in Southern Chu, and these people look either disabled or sick, although the appearance is similar to that of the Southern Chu people, but the outline of the eye sockets and the bridge of the nose is deeper, and even the color of the eyes is not pure black when you look carefully, Does that mean that none of the people in this village are from Southern Chu?

Xue Rou suddenly remembered that when she asked Rong Jing before, he said that this village was called Jiangqi Village.

Jiang Qi......

Xue Rou's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly remembered why she felt that the word Jiang Qi was so familiar.

She remembered that more than 20 years ago, there was a small country called Jiang Qi on the border of Southern Chu, Jiang Qi was backed by the Yunlian Mountains, and most of the domestic people were not good at farming and mostly made a living by hunting, so Jiang Qi's soldiers were also particularly good at fighting and ferocious, but Jiang Qi people were eager for peace for hundreds of years, and they never took the initiative to provoke disputes in the territory of Jiang Qi for hundreds of years, and at that time, the first emperor of Southern Chu was lazy and violently punished, and the harem was even more promiscuous/chaotic, although Nan Chu and Jiang Qi lived next to each other, but the two countries have been at peace for a hundred years.

But suddenly one day, Princess Wencheng of Jiang Qi suddenly led her troops to attack Chu, and only took 100,000 troops to kill all the way to the Southern Chu Imperial City.

No one knows why Princess Wencheng suddenly attacked Chu, let alone why the people of Jiang Qi, who have always been peaceful, suddenly launched a war, but Sima Wencheng at that time shocked all countries, and even the grandfather of the prime minister and the first emperor of Zhou said that although Sima Wencheng was a daughter, she had a peerless handsome talent.

Even at that time, there was a joke that Sima Wencheng won the world.

At that time, everyone thought that Sima Wencheng could make Jiang Qi replace Southern Chu as one of the three major countries, who knew that at this time, Sima Wencheng suddenly disappeared, Jiang Qi's army, which had been killed outside the imperial city, rioted, and the Southern Chu army fought in the Southern Chu Imperial City, countless people died in the entire imperial city, blood stained the city walls, and the entire capital was full of corpses inside and outside, at this moment, everyone did not expect that the first emperor of Southern Chu would suddenly pass on to the Chu Emperor, who was still not powerful at that time, and the nameless Chu Emperor, and even gave power to the Chu Emperor to let him take over the power of the court.

At that time, no one knew what happened in the imperial city of Southern Chu, and no one knew how the Emperor of Chu was selected by the first emperor to become the new emperor, until the first emperor of Southern Chu died, all the insiders were either wiped out or kept silent, and then in the second year of the Chu Emperor's accession to the throne, Jiang Qi and Southern Chu broke out in a big war, and the Chu Emperor sent troops to attack Jiang Qi, not only killing all the people in the royal family of Jiang Qi, but also slaughtering the village and destroying the city to civilians, and not letting go of any Jiang Qi people.

That bloody killing made the world see the ruthlessness of the Chu Emperor, and also made Jiang Qi destroy the country since then, since then, Jiang Qi gradually disappeared in the eyes of the countries, and Southern Chu has been sparing no effort to hunt down the remnants of Jiang Qi who survived the war, until the word Jiang Qi can no longer be heard, and the killing slowly stops.

Xue Rou was still young at the time, and after hearing about Sima Wencheng, she had envied the woman who could gallop on the battlefield and kill the enemy, but the woman suddenly appeared, like a sudden rise and disappeared, since she disappeared before the war, no one knew where she went, and no one knew whether she was dead or alive, until Jiang Qi destroyed the country, no one saw her again.

Later, with the passage of time, Jiang Qiguo was gradually forgotten, and the peerless woman was also forgotten in the torrent of time with Jiang Qiguo.

This village is called Jiangqi Village, should it be ......

Xue Rou suddenly said with a strange expression: "The people in this village can't all be descendants of Jiang Qiguo, right?" ”

Rong Jing looked up at Xue Rou and raised her eyebrows and said, "You also know Jiang Qi?" ”

Xue Rou nodded, "When I was still in the Great Zhou, I once heard my grandfather talk about Jiang Qiguo, and I also read some secret reports, it is said that after Jiang Qi's Princess Wencheng led the army to conquer the Southern Chu Imperial City, everyone thought that Jiang Qi would replace Southern Chu as one of the three major countries, but then Princess Wencheng suddenly disappeared, Jiang Qi's army was in chaos, and the Chu Emperor ascended the throne and then destroyed Jiang Qi in the name of revenge. ”

Rong Jing's eyes were a little gloomy when he heard Xue Rou mention Princess Wencheng, and when he heard Xue Rou talk about Emperor Chu's accession to the throne and Jiang Qi was destroyed, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Revenge? Hehe......" Rong Jing's mouth overflowed with strange laughter, as if disdain and mockery.

Xue Rou was stunned, Rong Jing's appearance made her feel that what she knew was probably different from the facts, she opened her mouth and wanted to ask, but she didn't want the door to be pushed open from the outside, and a figure rushed in.

"Lord Wang, you are finally here, do you know how long we have been waiting for you, the people of the Dark Valley ......"

The words in the figure's mouth suddenly stopped, and then pointed at Xue Rou and said angrily: "Why are you here, who asked you to come over?!" (To be continued.) )
