211. Grandmother's past
"If you have bad luck and meet some people with ill intentions and bad quality, it will be even more chicken-and-egg beating. Because the rewards of the empire are only for the contestants, not the territory, which means that the rewards obtained in the contest are all the contestants. If the contestant is not a direct descendant of the territory, they will directly become independent and become an independent small territory when their ambitions appear. ”
I'll go, the otherworldly version of borrowing chickens and laying eggs. After understanding the rules of the Territory Competition, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh that the person who formulated this rule was a genius, and he directly used a law similar to the jungle to govern the country, making it clear that whoever has the biggest fist is justified. At the same time, he made a rule to bind the contestants to fight to the death under this system, while the royal family sat in the back and watched the various realms fight and weaken, while giving the commoners a shortcut to nobility. In a word, as long as the fist is big enough, then there will be everything, and if the fist is not big enough, it can only deserve to be unlucky.
Thinking of this, Li Jie understood why the Dragon Empire was so powerful, an empire was full of life-and-death competition at any time, and it was impossible to say that its national strength was not strong, but it was a miracle that an empire had maintained this state for many years and had not collapsed.
"General Li, I already know the situation of the Territory Competition, can you tell me who has bullied our Bird Mansion over the years, and no one has specially challenged our Bird Mansion?" After thinking for a while, Li Jie asked again.
"Young master, this matter is actually a continuation of an old thing, in fact, it is the ghost behind the old ghost of Huang Tian, the prime minister of the imperial capital, and some territories attached to the prime minister of Zuo are specially challenging our Bird Mansion every year in order to please him. As for the reason for this matter, because it involves Miss. It's not good for us to discuss too much, so let's ask in person when the young master sees Miss! At this time, Li Bing, who was standing aside, was relieved. He said suddenly.
Hearing Li Bing say this, Li Jie didn't ask any more. Instead, he kept the name Huang Tian in mind.
"Young master, you and the young grandmothers go back to the house to rest first, don't rush to the imperial capital, wait for the old slave to inform the young lady, and see how the young lady orders." At this time, Li Bing continued respectfully.
"That's okay, please let the old soldier know as soon as possible!" After listening to Li Bing's flowers, Li Jie did not continue to insist. So everyone followed Li Bing out of the secret room and came to an antique oriental courtyard. Under Li Bing's arrangement, everyone rested first.
As Li Bing transmitted the news of the arrival of Li Jie and others back to the imperial capital, the entire imperial capital Li family was boiling!
In the courtyard of the Li family outside the imperial capital, an elderly woman sat on a rocking chair in the garden, holding a very delicate medal with a fierce wolf's head engraved on it.
"Wolf warrior, wolf warrior, I'm also old, I don't know how you're doing now? The concubine wanted to see you. But the body of the concubine is really unbearable for the weight of spatial teleportation, and I don't know how our little wolf is, it should have been a cub earlier! The old lady muttered as she caressed the medal in her hand affectionately, the sun shining through the leaves on her body. The old woman slowly closed her eyes and took a nap.
"Miss, miss. Good news, the young master is back! "That's when it happened. An old man ran into the garden excitedly, shouting excitedly as he ran.
"Shhhh Xiao Luzi, you tap, tap, Miss is asleep! An old woman standing not far from the garden hurriedly put a finger to her mouth and shouted softly.
However, this shout had already alarmed the old woman who was napping in the garden, and she slowly opened her hazy eyes and said softly, "Aunt Yun, what happened just now?" So noisy? ”
Hearing the old woman's voice, the old lady standing outside the garden walked quickly to the old woman's side, bent down and whispered, "Miss, it's nothing, just now Xiao Luzi was shouting, saying that there is some good news!" ”
"Oh, what about the little Luzi man, let him come over." Hearing the old woman's words, the old woman said softly.
"Li Lu has seen Miss, disturbed Miss to rest, Li Lu deserves death!" Seeing the old woman's beckoning, the old man standing outside the garden hurriedly came to the old woman, with a look of remorse, and kept slapping his mouth.
"Li Lu, forget it, you've been following me for decades, and you're still seeing you like this, let's talk about it, what's the good news?" The old woman spoke slowly, her weak voice indicating that she was old.
"Miss, I just received news from Li Bing, who was in charge of territorial affairs in the Bird Mansion, that the little young master of the Barbarian Continent has come to the empire with three young ladies and is ready to pay your birthday to Miss!" Li Lu said excitedly.
"Savage Continent? Li Lu, did you hear me right? After listening to Li Lu's words, the old woman, whose face was a little pale, suddenly asked with a red face.
"Miss, the old slave heard it right, Li Bing also said that the little young master wanted to rush here to see you immediately when he heard that you were unwell. But Li Bing said that he was worried that the old master would have an opinion, so he asked the little young master to settle down in the Bird Mansion first, and wanted to hear the young lady's opinion! Hearing the woman's inquiry, Li Lu swore an oath.
Hearing Li Lu's affirmative tone, the old woman's tone became even better, and she suddenly said, "Aunt Yun, make arrangements, let's go back to the Bird Mansion immediately!" ”
"No, Feng'er, your body is so haggard, not suitable for long journeys, if you are worried about their safety, this king will send the Dragon Knights to meet them!" At this moment, an old man's voice appeared in the sky of the garden, and just as the words fell, an old man appeared in front of everyone.
"Meet the Blue Dragon King!" After seeing the figure of the old man, Li Lu and Yun Gu hurriedly saluted and said.
The old man waved his hand to signal that the two of them didn't need to be polite, walked quickly to the old woman, squatted down and took the old woman's hand and said: "Feng'er, don't worry, after so many years, my father's anger has long since disappeared, and your body is really not suitable for jolting, my brother promises you that I will bring them to you unharmed." Looking at the old woman in front of him, the old man's face was full of distress. Decades passed, and he could not tell from the face of the old woman in front of him that this person was once his high-spirited and eccentric little sister. Every time he came to the other courtyard, he regretted why he had followed his father's orders to forcibly bring his little sister back from the barbarian continent, but the people brought it back, but his heart remained, and he hadn't seen the smiling face of his little sister for decades.
Looking at the old man in front of her, the old woman suddenly smiled and said softly, "Brother, can I still trust you anymore?" ”
Hearing the old woman's inquiry, the old man was embarrassed for a moment, and suddenly said categorically: "Feng'er, my brother promises in the name of the dragon god that he will definitely bring them to you unscathed, and you can rest here with peace of mind." With that, the old man walked away quickly.
"Young Master, Miss once obtained the Order of Space Mage at the age of sixteen, and was known as the Star of Imperial Magic,......。 Back then, the old man agreed to the marriage proposal of the Huang family and married the young lady to the eldest young master of the Huang family, but the eldest young master of the Huang family was a gentleman, who did not learn and did not know his skills, and his reputation was known to the entire empire. The young lady, who has the reputation of the flower of the empire, is very opposed to this marriage and vows not to marry. But the old man insisted on marrying the young lady into the Huang family, so the young lady ran back to the Bird Mansion in a fit of anger, and prepared to stay away from the Dragon Continent with a self-made non-directional teleportation scroll, and came to the Barbarian Continent in this way. In a chance encounter, I met my uncle, that is, your grandfather, young master, the lord of the wolf warrior domain at that time...... "At this time, Li Jie was listening to Li Fu talk about the past in the Bird Mansion.
After listening to Li Fu's words, Li Jie realized that his grandmother was once a popular figure, and her drama-like life could write a book. But he heard some news from Li Fu's mouth that was different from what he remembered, and he hurriedly asked: "Fu Lao, I heard my father say before that my grandfather was killed by people from the rhinoceros tribe, how did he become sick and die again?" ”
"Young master, if it wasn't for saving my uncle back then, how could Miss take the initiative to contact the Li family. With such a vast area, how could they possibly know that the young lady had gone to the Savage Continent? But less than a year after my uncle was rescued by the Green Dragon King, he missed Miss too much, and his old injuries recurred and he died of depression. At that time, my uncle's injury was too serious, and his life was hanging by a thread, and the Qinglong King, in order to avenge the rhinoceros tribe's sin of hurting the young lady, directly washed the entire rhinoceros tribe in blood, and overnight, the rhinoceros tribe was exterminated. The news that his uncle was killed by the rhinoceros tribe was just for the sake of being famous, and what the lord knew was told to him by the old slave, the purpose was to inspire his hatred for the barbarians, if it weren't for them, how could the young lady be taken back to the Dragon Continent alone. Hearing Li Jie's inquiry, Li Fu said with a sad face but with a strong hatred.
After listening to Li Fu's explanation, Li Jie sighed and said: "Fu Lao, this is all God's will, now that the barbarians are already the people of the Han Dynasty, you don't have to worry about it, if you want to blame, you can only blame the unkindness of heaven and earth, and make people suffer." Fu Lao, when you see your grandmother, you must not tell the bad news that your grandfather and father are dead, I am afraid that my grandmother and her old man will not be able to bear it when they find out. ”
"Young master, what should I do if the young lady asks about it?" Hearing Li Jie's advice, Li Fu asked in a low voice.
"You just said that my grandfather was unwell, and my father took care of him in the territory, so I specially asked me to wait and come over to pay her birthday!" Hearing Li Fu's inquiry, Li Jie thought for a while and said.
"Okay, young master, the old slave remembers!" Hearing Li Jie's words, Li Fu hurriedly said.
At the same time, Li Jie also explained this matter to the third daughter and the accompanying people, so that they must not say anything.
At this time, the Qinglong King returned to the Imperial Capital Li Mansion and immediately ordered the order to convene the Dragon Knights, and as his order was issued, the entire Dragon Knights gathered at a high speed, and its huge momentum made the entire Imperial Capital pay attention to this side. And the old man who cultivated in the mansion was also alarmed. (To be continued......)
