Chapter 154: Telling the Truth
。
The city of Dablis should be called Anping City in the name of the Wasi people.
The city is not very large, but it is much more prosperous than the provincial capital Luohe.
The prosperity here is not because of the large population, but because it is the largest trading market in the province of Zemin, where there are many merchants, and a kilometre-long commercial street is the heart of the city.
The Zou family's shop is located in the center of this street.
Although it is said to be a shop, strictly speaking, the shops of the Zou family cover almost most of the section of the central street.
What's more, one-third of the city's territory belongs to the Zou family.
In fact, this is not surprising, because the rise of this city, in fact, is the history of the rise of the Zou family, when the ancestors of the Zou family chose this place to start building a commercial area, hundreds of years have passed, with the development of the Zou family, there is a famous shopping mall of the Blue Flag Empire.
It was already the second day that Zou Jingcheng's caravan came to Zou's house, which showed that Anping City was still some distance from the provincial capital.
"Mu Jiuxian's nephew, this river is the Luo River, although it is not a big river like the Blue River, but it is indeed a river that flows into the sea alone, and the reason why the ancestors chose this place as a stronghold. It is because of this river that runs through the real Zemin Plain. ”
Standing on top of a tall tower in the Zou family's compound, Zou Jingcheng pointed to the turbulent river flowing outside the tall city wall and explained to Mu Jiu.
"Uncle Zou, but all the world's homes are built far away from the city wall, so that in the event of a war, they will not be the first to be attacked, why should the Zou family build their residence directly under the city wall?"
The Zou family's compound is actually under the North City Tower in Anping City, and the tower where Mu Jiu and his family are located is only a few hundred meters away from the city wall, so Mu Jiu has such a question.
"Hehe, Mu Jiuxian's nephew, in fact, this is not surprising, one is that there are too many houses of our Zou family, you see, the houses in a radius of several square kilometers behind this belong to our Zou family strictly speaking."
Hearing Mu Jiu's words, Zou Jingcheng pointed to the craggy green tile behind him with a little pride.
"Also, nephew Mu Jiuxian, this Anping City was actually originally established by the ancestors of our Zou family, in fact, until now, the city defense of this city is still the responsibility of our Zou family, so the main house of the Zou family is set up under the city wall to facilitate the command and dispatch of the city defense."
"So that's the case, no wonder Uncle Zou said that all the Zou family's nursing homes can be used by U.S. soldiers, and that's why."
Looking at the fluttering banner of the Zou family on the city tower, Mu Jiu remembered what Zou Jingcheng had said before, and then he suddenly realized.
"Mu Jiuxian's nephew, since you have established a relationship with Xiaoqin, I won't call you your virtuous nephew anymore, although I have a son, but Xiaoqin I have treated her like a man since she was a child, so her personality is less Shujing than ordinary women, and you have to take care of Mu Jiu more."
Women in this era regard tranquility as beauty, so at this time, Zou Jingcheng said to Mu Jiu with some worry.
"Uncle Zou, don't worry, I'm actually a soldier, and I was a poor boy from a peasant family before I joined the army, and I only like the character of Sister Xiaoqin even more, where do you want to be treated."
Zou Jingcheng's worries are superfluous, the reason why Mu Jiu accepted Zou Suqin's love token is that he does not have high requirements for marriage, and the other is that Zou Suqin's strong words made him sincerely moved, so Zou Suqin's character is the main reason why Mu Jiu accepts it, where will he dislike it at this time.
"Well, that's good, by the way, since you agreed, then why do you still call me Uncle Zou!"
Hearing Mu Jiu's explanation, Zou Jingcheng was really relieved, but he suddenly pretended to be angry and said.
"Uh, Zou...... The father-in-law is on top, and he is worshiped by the son-in-law. ”
Although Mu Jiu was a little dull emotionally, he didn't understand what to do at this time, so he quickly took a step back and bowed to Zou Jingcheng.
"Hahaha, okay, virtuous son-in-law, please get up, I will take you to worship the ancestors of my Zou family, from now on you are a member of my Zou family, and my Zou family will go all out for your affairs."
Mu Jiu didn't know at all that his worship would help him in the future, at this time he was just thinking about how to change his plan next, after all, the previous plan to ask Marquis Sean for help could be said to have been canceled, although he had the system, but there was no one, and no matter how many weapons he had, it would not be decisive for expelling the Ji Yan Empire.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law still hasn't explained anything to my father-in-law, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me."
Since Zou Jingcheng has regarded himself as a son-in-law, Mu Jiu can no longer hide his true identity, so before Zou Jingcheng takes him to meet the elders in the family, Mu Jiu decides to tell Zou Jingcheng about Yicha.
"Oh, the virtuous son-in-law has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Zou Jingcheng, who was about to get up and go downstairs, also stood still when he heard Mu Jiu say this, and looked at Mu Jiu suspiciously.
"Father-in-law, have you ever heard of the rebellion on the plains of Worford?"
Before he could say his identity, Mu Jiu still asked tentatively.
"Of course I've heard that information is the most important thing for us businessmen, so how could I not know such a big thing as happened in the empire, not to mention that the old guy Oprah is still my old friend, so the old man was also very worried about this matter, but it's a pity that the old guy is gone, it's really a pity."
Speaking of this matter, Zou Jingcheng's face immediately showed a sense of suffocation, and that look was absolutely from the heart.
"Ah, that's great, it seems that I have nothing to worry about, father-in-law, in fact, General Opral is fine, the news that he was killed by the Empire is just a fabrication of Imperial public opinion, we just turned to the Ikan Plateau after the failure of the uprising, and later went to the Republic of Takilia through the secret path......"
Seeing that Zou Jingcheng did not have any aversion to the affairs of the revolutionary army, but had a sympathetic attitude, whether it was because Zou Jingcheng and Major General Oprah were old acquaintances, it was always a good thing for him to say his identity.
"What, son-in-law, you said that old thing in Oprah is not dead, wait, you said that the riot was you...... Could it be that you are also a member of the revolutionary army, what is the matter with that old Sean's son, how can he be with you. ”
What Mu Jiu said made Zou Jingcheng not react for a while, and he was even more puzzled about the identity of Lieutenant Sean, so after listening to Mu Jiu's words, he immediately asked a few questions.
"Father-in-law, I was indeed an ordinary soldier in the Imperial Army before, and I accidentally joined the Revolutionary Army after the Battle of the Worford Plains, as for Lieutenant Sean, he is indeed the son of Marquis Sean, as for why I also joined the Revolutionary Army, I don't know very well, maybe it was because of faith."
Since Zou Jingcheng didn't dislike the revolutionary army, Mu Jiu told his identity, as for Sean, although Mu Jiu could roughly guess the reason why Lieutenant Sean joined the revolutionary army at this time, but because it contained some hidden secrets of Lieutenant Sean, Mu Jiu could only be vague.
