Chapter 250: Confess
"I didn't expect that the whim would be such an unexpected result, I have been in the ancestral land for more than two months, and now it is close to the middle of February, and when I have to return to Lanling Kingdom, it will be at least March. Now that the crisis in the country of Tasha has been resolved, do you plan to let the people stay with you in such a desolate place as your ancestral land? Why don't you come with us to Lanling Kingdom? Anyway, the kingdom of Tasha has already fallen, and there is no need to stay in this place. The chaos of the past is in the past, and the rest are ordinary people, all they want is an ordinary life, no matter where they go, as long as you are there, they should not object. Hua Shangxue looked at the smiling faces and couldn't help but say so, even she was surprised that she would make such a suggestion at this time.
Jiang Yunxian was not angry, but sighed lightly.
"Cher, I know what you're thinking. You're right, the country of Tarsha has indeed fallen, and these people are really asking for a simple life, as long as there is a peaceful and safe life. It's just that more than 30,000 people don't say they can go anywhere. What's more, the country of Tarsha is not as bad as you think, at least, it also has some eye-watering mineral resources, which are enough to feed these people, even if it is more than ten times more. Sometimes, the attachment to the homeland is inseparable, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people if they are willing to leave the country of Tasha? As long as I can convince them, it doesn't make a difference to me where I go. The reason why I stayed was only because of them, and there was a Yu'er. β
Hua Shangxue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was grabbed by Yu Miyao's wrist. Shaking his head, he motioned for her not to continue.
In the end, Hua Shangxue still listened to Yu Mixuan's meaning, and did not continue the question, but she was still a little unconvinced.
What's so good about living in the desert? If there was a better place to go, no one would refuse.
In order to prove his idea and refute Jiang Yunxian's decision, Hua Shangxue asked a few people to come over for questioning on the same day.
"If I were to find a better place for you, would you be willing to leave your ancestral land, the fallen kingdom of Tarsha, and live in another country?"
The ten people who were found, you look at me, and I look at you after a glance. Obviously, I didn't know that Hua Shangxue would suddenly ask such a question.
"Your Highness. The good places you mentioned may be really good, but we were born in this desert, and even if the country of Tarsha no longer exists, we are still the people of the country of Tarsa. He didn't want to leave his homeland. Thank you very much Your Highness for taking care of me these days. To you and your friends. We are deeply grateful. As for leaving, where there is a king, there is a kingdom, and perhaps there are too few people today. But as long as we work hard to have children, I believe that in another ten or twenty years, there will be more and more people, and even it will take decades to restore the original size of the Tarsa country. Although there were many disputes in the previous Tarsar Kingdom, after what happened, we all believe that the future Tarsha Kingdom is a wonderful country, and we ask for our forgiveness to decline the kindness of Your Highness. We will not leave, nor can we leave this land. Because we belong here, we own this land, even if this land is very barren and most of the territory is buried by yellow sand, it still can't change our identity as a citizen of Tasha country. Thank you for your understanding. β
"Please forgive Your Highness." The echo sounded, and the rest of the people bowed to Hua Shangxue with the young man who spoke, and then bowed to her on their knees, looking at her if they would take the initiative to get up for a while, but looked at her with burning eyes, clearly asking her to personally open their mouth to forgive their obsession.
And so it was.
Although I expected it, when I really faced the result, I felt an indescribable loss.
"Get up, I see what you mean. You don't have to mind that, I'm just giving you an analogy, and I didn't ask you to leave. However, this place of the ancestral land can no longer stay, after all, the environment is not good. The original Sunsky City has been destroyed, and there is no need to go back, find an oasis, start building a tribe, and then build the city when there are more people, and one day, Sunsky City will reappear. β
"What Your Highness said is very true, and I believe that day will come." The ten of them replied with a smile, and they said the same thing in unison.
After the people faded, the flowers on the snow will also figure it out.
Just as Jiang Yunxian would not force her to do anything, Hua Shangxue did not intend to interfere with Jiang Yunxian's decision.
On the morning of the second day, after Hua Shangxue accompanied Jiang Yunxian to eat breakfast, she said: "Dad, you said that you were going to take me to see my mother and sister, I wonder if you can still meet them now?" β
"Absolutely. If in the past, if you wanted to see them, you had to go to a fixed place, but since I received these 30,000 people, the tablets and bones of their mother and daughter, I have collected and burned them into ashes, and we have stayed here together, and I will take you to meet them. Jiang Yun replied idly, as if expecting Hua Shangxue to leave, he didn't ask, but just answered according to her words.
After getting the promise, Hua Shangxue asked September to prepare some sacrifices on his behalf, not big fish and big meat, but there were also fish, flesh, fruit and wine, carrying a basket, following Jiang Yunxian to see the graves of her godmother and godsister.
I thought it would be far away, but I didn't expect that it was next to the underground lake, a stone that was already there was smoothed and engraved with a name, and a small earthen bag that was slightly raised but only half a meter in diameter was the place where the mother and daughter were buried together.
"Of all the ancestral lands, this is the best view. Originally, their mother and daughter were supposed to be moved into the ancestral imperial tomb, but their mother and daughter did not like the royal constraints, but liked the free environment, I think this place is good, if I die, I also hope to be buried here, buried here with them, look, I left my place in the spare place of this stone, just a name. Jiang Yunxian smiled softly, and the gentleness between his eyebrows was a look rarely seen.
"Mother, sister is above, I am the daughter of Hua Shangxue, my father recognized, and now I have come to meet the two, please forgive me. In the future, Daddy will be honored by Cher, and my mother and sister will also ask the spirit of heaven to bless Daddy from illness and pain, spend a hundred years in peace, and Xue'er will kowtow to you. Hua Shangxue said and kowtowed to the grave three times.
"Mother, sister is above, I am Yu Miyao, you can call me Xiaoqi, Xiaoxue's fiancΓ©, mother's son-in-law, sister's brother-in-law, come to visit the two of you today, and please bless the two of us to be able to grow old, full of children and grandchildren, Xiao Qi kowtowed to the two." I don't know when Yu Mi Xuan, who came with her, knelt down beside Hua Shangxue, said something almost similar, and bowed as the Jiang family's aunt.
Jiang Yunxian stood aside, looking at the backs of the two, and couldn't help but show a look of relief.
Although he lost his wife and children, he had a goddaughter who was no different from his own daughter, and this daughter also found an excellent husband, and he, a father who was not qualified, was somewhat relieved.
Incense was placed for his wife and daughter, tribute was placed, and after standing in front of the grave for a long time, the group also went back.
Back in front of the stone house, Xuan Lan sat there for a long time, and after everyone was seated, Hua Shangxue said: "Dad, it's over, Xiao Qi and I are also going back to Lanling Kingdom." Wu Qi and the others will stay and help you for the time being, and July will be in charge of your contact with us. If you need anything, you can send a message through July, and let someone send it after it is prepared in Lanling Kingdom. I think the ancestral land can be used as a place of refuge, but it is not suitable for long-term residence. Now that the Lanling Kingdom and the Qiongyue Kingdom have signed a peace treaty, you don't have to worry about being threatened by the two countries, you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind, and restore the Tarsa Kingdom. Although it is not known how long this peace will last, at least fifty years will not be war, and these fifty years will be enough time to recover. The minerals and gems of Tarsa can also be sold through Xiao Qi's men in exchange for the supplies you need. Because you're your own person, you don't have to worry about being deceived. β
Jiang Yunxian's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Yu Mi and said, "Boy, when are you going to marry my Xue'er?" I can tell you, flat wife, concubine or something, you don't want my family Xue'er to marry you. β
"My father-in-law laughed, how could I give Xiaoxue that status, it was disrespectful to her and an insult to me. I, Yu Mi Ying, am also a person with status, and I will never let Xue'er be humiliated like this. β
"Really? Okay, let me ask you, does Cher know your identity? β
Yu Miyao's expression stiffened slightly, shook her head and said, "The son-in-law hasn't told her yet." It's not that I deliberately hide it, it's just that this identity has some troubles that need to be solved before, and I don't want Xiaoxue to know until it is properly resolved. If things don't go as I want, I can't say that I will give up that identity, and even if I say it at that time, it will still be a problem in the end, and it is better to wait until there is a definite result, and then tell it. β
"And you have the results now?"
"Hmm."
"Tell me, what is your true identity? I'll see if you're honest enough. β
"Yes." Yu Miying nodded, and turned to look at Hua Shangxue, "Xiaoxue, I have never been honest with you about something. Actually, there's one thing I'm hiding from you. Do you remember what I said, I once passed on? β
"Well, you did."
"Actually, the Yu family I succeeded to is the Yue Wang Yu family, and I am the heir to the throne just last year."
Hua Shangxue's mouth opened slightly, "You mean to say that you are a prince, and you are a prince like Yun Jinze?" Just one is King Xuan and a King Yue? β
"Do you blame me for hiding from you?" Yu Miying couldn't help but look at Hua Shangxue a little nervously, afraid that she would blame him for concealment. (To be continued......)
