Chapter 311: The Blood of the Red Serpent
Although she has been a human being in two lives, Shen Tong seems to understand the affairs of men and women, but despite this, she also roughly understands what happened back then.
In the eyes of the Thirteen Taibao and even the entire Later Jin Dynasty, Tu Shaoling is the supreme emperor.
This time, Tu Shaoling's "will" was to make sure that the woman was pregnant and sent back to the south, and for the sake of insurance, he would send another clan girl to Yulin, so that the little emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty would be happy.
But they made a bad move and underestimated the little emperor.
After many years on the run, the little emperor has grown up, he sees the territory that once belonged to his ancestors, and he also sees the people who live and work in peace and contentment away from the war.
What's more, he breathed the air of freedom.
History has opened a new chapter, and the page belonging to the Great Jin has passed.
The Great Jin Dynasty has reached his generation, and it can be over.
He doesn't want to have children, let alone a subversive child.
Fathers will not agree, neither will the fathers and fathers.
So he did something that no one could have imagined.
With the help of faithful servants, he ruined himself.
Cut off limbs, disfigured face, and make yourself inhumane!
From then on, he was a wasted man, he could neither be an emperor nor have children, he was still alive, but he was dead.
The fat powder merchants in Xi'an came to Yulin to buy goods, but they were cheated out of their money, and they didn't even have the money to go back.
When he was desperate, he received a sum of silver from the sky, and in return, the merchant took in Master Lan, who he "encountered" on the road.
But Tu Shaoling did not give up completely, after Master Lan arrived in Xi'an, it didn't take long for there to be an extra pen and ink shop in Xi'an, and the owner of the pen and ink shop was named Gao Zihe, Gao Zihe married a wife and had children in Xi'an, and took root, no one knew that this little boss who was not amazing was actually sent to monitor Master Lan.
For more than ten years, Master Lan never walked out of Baihui Hall again, and Gao Zihe also did not walk in, they were separated by a door, knowing each other's existence, until one day, Xinyu walked into Baihui Hall.
With just a glance, Master Lan's heart sank.
The little girl had a face that resembled the woman's, and the old servant soon inquired about her age......
"Tu Shaoling will not let that woman stay in the world, if Miss Xinyu was born to her, it should be my daughter. Alas, what iniquity! ”
Master Lan's head slammed into the kang table, thumping.
Shen Tong hurriedly walked over, grabbed his shoulders and dragged him aside, and said, "Don't do stupid things again!" ”
There was majesty in the childish voice, and Master Lan finally quieted down: "Miss Shen, thank you for letting me live for a few more years." ”
Shen Tong smiled and said: "Master Lan, you are the master in my shop, because of you, Baihuitang can have a prosperous business and be famous far and wide, I am your owner, you take my salary, if you want to thank me, then make more good goods, let me earn more silver." ”
There is no Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty in the world, and now he is just a master in a small fat powder shop.
He lives here because he's a master here, and not for any other reason.
Master Lan's heart suddenly settled down, he looked at the candle on the table, and two lines of tears dripped down unconsciously.
"By the way, Master Lan, the four major tribes of the Yi people only serve the descendants of the king of Duyun County, and you were far away in Yulin at the time, even if you have an heir, how can the four tribes believe that this child is your descendant? Besides, Tu Shaoling can just hold a child and say that it is yours, so why bother to let you leave an heir? "This is the question that Shen Tong just thought of, at that time, Tu Shaoling had already established the Dead Soldier Battalion, and he was playing a big game of chess, but this big game of chess would not work without the four major tribes, he could be like a Qingdao man, holding a child from nowhere, and insisting that this is the grandson of the king of Duyun County, how can those Yi people know?
With Tu Shaoling's scheming, he wouldn't have thought of this way.
"Miss Shen may not know yet, although the Later Jin Dynasty court said to the outside world that my biological mother was a high-grade side concubine in the palace, but in fact this is not the case. At that time, in order to envelop the four major tribes, my father accepted a number of Yi women as concubines, and my biological mother was a Yi woman. ”
When Master Lan said this, Shen Tong still didn't understand, and she asked, "Could it be that there are any marks on your bodies?" ”
"Miss Shen is smart, and that's true. My biological mother is the daughter of the great wizard of the Sanae Department, which owns five Dansha Mountains, and the people of the clan make a living from sand mining. ”
Speaking of this, Master Lan raised his bare wrist and said, "Miss Shen, do you know why I cut off my feet and hands?" ”
Shen Tong's brows moved slightly, and he asked, "Could it be that this mark is on the hands and feet?" ”
"Yes, it's a pity that both of my feet and hands have been cut off, so I can't show Miss Shen it. My maternal grandfather was a great wizard worshipped by the four major tribes, and I am a person with the blood of a great wizard, and a person with the blood of a great wizard, as long as I smear cinnabar on the palms of my hands and feet, after a while, wipe off the cinnabar, and a winding red line will appear on my palms or soles of my feet, like a red snake, this is the blood of the red snake. The four major tribes share the same roots, and they share the same ancestor. Legend has it that they are all descendants of the Red Snake, which is not only their gods, but also their ancestors, and the four major tribes have respected the Red Snake for generations, but only the blood of the Great Wizard has the blood of the Red Snake. After the birth of a child who is related to the previous great wizards, he will have to verify the bloodline in front of the elders of the clan. As long as they have the blood of the red snake, they have a transcendent status in the clan, they are the nobles of the four major tribes, they can be wizards, and they can also become the leaders of each tribe. On the contrary, even if he is the son of the Great Wizard, once he does not have the blood of the Red Snake, he is not a nobleman, let alone inherit the position of the Great Wizard. ”
"The more Red Serpent blood you have, the higher your status in the clan. My mother had red snakes on both hands and feet, and my father welcomed her into the palace as a princess, and although she was not knighted by the emperor, the four tribes honored my mother as their princess. ”
Shen Tong was stunned, there are so many strange things in the world, there is such a thing.
She asked, "Then your brother has also been verified?" ”
Master Lan nodded: "We are twin brothers of the same mother, and even the blood of the Red Snake is the same. Mine is on the left hand and left foot, while my brother only has the right hand and right foot. ”
Shen Tong completely understood, even if Tu Shaoling took a child back from the outside, once it was verified that the child did not have the blood of the red snake, the four major tribes would never admit it, and although Master Lan's children may not all have the blood of the red snake, there is still a chance to win, if there is no one, it can be reborn, and there will always be a child who has the blood of the red snake. Therefore, after that woman, Tu Shaoling wanted to send other women over, not because he was worried that the child he gave birth to was not a prince, but because he was afraid that the child would not have the blood of the red snake on his body.
