Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Crane Army (1st Update)
CHAPTER XXVIII
When Mei Zhengjing said that Mei Zheng made a living by killing people, Mei Jiu didn't believe it very much, after all, those were too far away from her original life, but now she believes a little.
Elder Zhi realized that his emotional out-of-control had frightened Mei Jiu, so he let go of his hand, "You are not Fourteen Niang. β
The girl in front of her was not the Fourteen Niang she saw that day, and Elder Zhi definitely did not doubt her insight, but her appearance was exactly the same as that day......
"Who are you?" Elder Zhi sat down and stared at Mei Jiu with fierce eyes.
Mei Jiu lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and plucked up the courage to say, "I am Mei Shi Niang." β
"Hand out." Elder Zhi said.
Mei Jiu stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Elder Zhi glanced at it a few times, stretched out his hand and tried her fingers, and his tone softened a little, "The strength is too exhausted, it fell when I hurt Mei Da at noon, don't do it hard in the future." β
Mei Jiu was stunned, Elder Zhi knew that "she" had injured someone at noon, but she didn't blame her at all, but cared about her body?
"Let's go back and rest today, and come back to me in three days." Elder Zhi tasted his own tea and ignored her.
Mei Jiu bowed, and then quickly left.
Elder Zhi looked at her slightly hasty back, and his eyebrows furrowed again. He put down his teacup heavily, "Someone." β
A ghost-faced woman in black fell silently from the beam.
He said, "Follow Fourteen Niang every step of the way." β
The woman in black left as if she had never appeared.
β¦β¦
Mei Jiu came out of Yongzhiju and asked Yaoye to take her straight to Mei Yanran's residence.
Mui's home is in a place full of houses, but most of the owners of these houses have died, making them extremely desolate.
The huge yard is quiet, there is no one, but the flower beds are neatly maintained and not deserted.
There is a jujube tree in front of the flower hall, the fruit on the tree is full of low hanging, the window can be seen in the semi-covering, there is an embroidery frame by the window, Mei Yanran is lying in front of the embroidery frame to do embroidery work.
She heard footsteps, glanced out, and saw that it was Mei Jiu, so she put down her needle and thread and came out, "Mother is going to Yuweiju, so you are here." β
"Mother." Mei Jiu's eyes turned red and threw herself into her arms.
"Elder Zhi scared you?" Mei Yanran gently stroked her back.
"How does my mother know about Lu Dao?" Mei Jiu asked in a muffled voice.
Mei Yanran said, "Several elders have strange tempers, but Elder Zhi is usually quite kind, but when it comes to serious matters, he is too serious. β
Is it just an Elder? Mei Jiu felt that the whole family was strange, from the old lady to the maidservant, which one was the same as the people outside?
Mei Jiu let go of her, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and said solemnly, "Mother, I have something I want to ask you." β
Mei Yanran rarely saw her daughter so serious, so she glanced at Yaoye, "Go down." β
"Yes." Haruka bowed and retreated.
Mei Yanran glanced at the jujube tree and led Mei Jiu to the study farthest from here.
As soon as he entered the house, Mei Jiu asked, "Mother, is our family really doing murder for a living?" β
Mei Yanran paused, turned around to look at her, her eyes were full of surprise and hatred, "Who told you about this?" β
Mei Jiuru fell into the ice cellar, and said, "Uncle." β
Mei Yanran sat down slowly, and was silent for a while before she spoke, "Sit down, this matter is a long story." β
Umekugi sat down stunned.
Mei Yanran looked at her daughter like this, and her heart ached, "It's my mother who is not good, and I deliberately raised you to be a timid and cowardly woman." β
She sighed, "You look good, some talents do not understand martial arts, you have a weak temperament, you don't know anything about Mei's affairs, you meet Mei's standards for marrying a daughter, even if you come back, you can find a big family to marry in the future and live a peaceful life like other women." β
"They arrested you because they wanted to use you to threaten me to come back and continue to serve my family. The most reassuring thing in my life is you, you still have two years to say goodbye, as long as you continue to be as weak as now, I can marry you out of Lu peacefully. Even if my mother can't see the light of day in the future, she feels that this life is worth it. Mei Yanran clung to the handrail, and ice cracks appeared on the sturdy Nanmu in an instant, "Who would have thought that you would shoot two martial artists with a bow and arrow, and make them want to cultivate you." β
This incident was not done by Mei Jiu, but after listening to her mother's words, she was still full of guilt.
Mei Yanran got up, as if reminiscing about the past, slowly walked to the window and looked at the jujube tree from afar, suddenly raised her hand, the cold light flashed on the tip of her fingers, and the crown of the jujube tree over there was windless and automatic, and it was quiet after a few squirts.
Mei Jiu's mind was chaotic, and he didn't notice Mei Yanran's movements.
"Now that you know, I'll just make it clear to you." Mei Yanran returned to her seat, and the armrest she had just held was lightly touched by her sleeve and fell to the ground. She was surprised when she saw Mei Jiu, so she said, "It's in disrepair." β
Kusunoki! It is used as a coffin and buried in the ground for hundreds of years without decaying! But Mei Jiu has never doubted his mother's words, and he didn't think to doubt it at all.
An Jiu was very interested in Mei Yanran's hand, and she had never been exposed to this kind of kung fu.
"After the seventh year of Emperor Gong of Zhou, the Yellow Bridge Incident on the fourth day of the first month, the emperor's Zen position, Taizu Huangpao, the fifth day of the first month, changed the country name "Song", changed the year name "Jianlong". From the mutiny to the establishment of the Great Song Kingdom, it took only four days, without encountering any resistance, and the dynasty was changed bloodlessly. Mei Yanran suddenly talked about political affairs.
This is a very famous coup d'Γ©tat in history, and even people like Yasu, who know little about Chinese history, have heard of it.
"Actually, a lot of people died in that coup." Mei Yanran threw out a shocking news.
Mei Jiu was attracted by what she said, and forgot about her fear for a while.
"Taizu secretly established a shadow army, and within four days, eliminated all the leaders who opposed the forces." Mei Yanran then said, "The Golden Alliance, Taizu died mysteriously, and Taizong took his place because Taizong controlled this shadow force. So this sharp sword, which once helped Taizu clear the obstacles and win the world smoothly, killed him in turn. Therefore, every subsequent generation of emperors paid special attention to this shadow. β
Such a secret is not even recorded in the wild history. When Mei Jiu read the history books, he also felt that the Golden Kui Alliance seemed to be not simple, but he didn't expect that it was like this behind it.
Mei Yanran said, "This shadow army is called the Crane Control Army......
The Crane Army played a pivotal role in the coup, and the emperor naturally controlled it very tightly, so it can be said that once it is involved, unless the entire family dies out and there is not even a trace of blood left, then don't think about withdrawing from it.
"So......" Mei Jiu had a hard time believing the idea in his heart, but it was very likely to be true, "Mei's descendants did not die young, but entered the control of the Crane Army?"
