Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Past Past
In order to welcome the visit of Li Ang, the youngest observer envoy of the Guangchen Republic, Zheng Jingren specially prepared a grand welcome banquet on the celebration floor in Gyeongbokgung Palace, because the venue was located in the palace and the time of the event was also very sensitive, so the people who could be invited to come were all the top people of Correa, and the female companions brought were also their wives or sisters, and there were no courtesans and other idle people.

Li Ang could see that this banquet was not so much a welcome banquet as a group warming meeting, and he himself was surrounded by a group of people who felt the chill in the middle of the fire. Every smile and nod of his own would have given these dignitaries in Correa a look of reassurance, and if he hadn't just tested it on the ship, he would have mistakenly thought that he had developed some new skill.
As the protagonist of tonight, Li Ang has been going around, holding a wine glass and holding his female companion Jessica to greet and greet constantly, more like a master than Zheng Jingren, the master, and when he finally rested, a girl with a thin and innocent appearance came and took Jessica's hand affectionately, "Sister Wang, it seems that I want to say congratulations to you." ”
"Are you even going to make fun of me?" Jessica and Leon were only at the stage of mutual affection, but the reason why they showed a love affair at the banquet, no, you and I came as if they would go to get the certificate in minutes, in order to create a message of "this observation makes the lord his own", so as to add some confidence to the fluctuating Correa aristocracy.
"Where am I making fun of this, it's too late to envy." Lin Yun'er blinked her eyes and threw an ambiguous look at Jessica that everyone could understand, even if it was just the first time they met, she had to admit that Li Ang was an extremely attractive man, even if she knew that he was a romantic seed, she couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
Jessica glanced at Lin Yun'er with disgust, and then introduced the girl who called her "Sister Wang" to Li Ang, "This is my sister Lin Yun'er, very beautiful, right?" ”
Li Ang looked at Lin Yun'er seriously, thin but not weak, delicate but not glamorous, a pair of fawn eyes revealed an indescribable sense of innocence, if you look at it from a man's standpoint, this woman is undoubtedly the best. However, it is not accurate to use the word beautiful to describe Lin Yun'er, because there are some other things on her body, if Jessica is the ultimate in beauty, then she highlights more of a kind of "purity".
"Of course it's pretty, but you say it's your sister too?" Leon smiled and touched the cup with Lin Yun'er, then turned to look at Jessica.
"yes, isn't it?" Jessica asked rhetorically.
Li Ang nodded unconsciously, although Lin Yun'er and Jessica don't look too similar, but she and Krystal have a six or seven points similar, and ICA has six or seven points similar, so he is not surprised to say that these two people are sisters, but this Lin Yun'er's name has some problems, and it is not the same series as TAL when I hear it, "Why is your family's surname Zheng and your sister's surname Lin?" ”
"It's a long story, so I'll tell you a story." Lin Yun'er took the initiative to take over the conversation.
Although Jessica said that Lin Yuna was his own sister, in fact the two were cousins, and Lin Yuna's father was Zheng Jingren's deceased eldest brother, the former Grand Duke of Correa, Zheng Jingyi.
Thirty years ago, Zheng Jingren left the Chiyan Arena with the help of Li Ge and returned to Correa, because he was obsessed with martial arts and had no intention of taking power, and he was not interested in managing the country, so his return did not cause much shock, Zheng Jingyi and others were sincerely happy after looking back at him, and the family lived in harmony.
In the past three years, Correa has been thriving, and all aspects have developed extremely rapidly, but the Correa people are happy while the Sanyi people can't sit still, and a harmonious, stable and peaceful Correa is not in their interests, so they launched an assassination against Zheng Jingyi, throwing Correa back into chaos.
Sanyi and Nosk were not on the same level, and the Norskers had carelessly failed, but the assassination they had orchestrated twenty-nine years earlier succeeded in one fell swoop, successfully assassinating Zheng Jingyi, the then Grand Duke of Correa, on his way back to the palace. In order to eradicate the grass and create chaos, the Sangyi people did not kill Zheng Jingren as well, but paid a considerable price to remove Zheng Jingyi's two sons, and then forged a false impression that Zheng Jingren murdered his brother for the position of the Grand Duke.
Because of the Sanyi people's poisonous plan Correa has been chaotic for several years, although Zheng Jingren at that time was a brother and succeeded to the throne, he was embarrassed by some old ministers in Zheng Jingyi's era, and he himself only cared about the breakthrough in martial arts and had no intention of managing the country, so this grand duke did even more carelessly, if it weren't for his wise Grand Duchess Li Shujing who has been helping by the side, Correa's situation is afraid that it has already collapsed, and it will be civil strife if it doesn't last for a few years.
In the eighth year of Zheng Jingyi's death, that is, twenty years ago, Correa's political, economic and cultural culture regressed very much because of Zheng Jingren's inaction, and the nobles and nobles gradually gave birth to a heart of disobedience. But what the Sanyi people didn't expect was that the Guangchen Republic, which has always liked to put on a high posture and never interfered in the disputes of neighboring countries, actually supported Correa in the most direct way unusually, and brazenly sent troops to block the Sanyi fleet.
When Sangyi's Kuanren Emperor was seventeen years old, he ascended the throne at the age of twenty and succeeded to the throne, pro-Wanji, formed a group of ministers, and ruled with great precision, and had a reputation for excellence in Sangyi, but after being praised too much, future generations would always inflate themselves, and he actually felt that the battle line of the Guangchen Republic was too long, and he would not intend to fight with Sangyi sincerely while facing the pressure of the Radiant Federation, so with the powerful navy they have developed over the years, they can at least resist a wave of offensives, and then they only need to eat Correa first, and then they can stabilize the situation by going out with a little benefit afterwards.
How beautiful the ideal is, how cruel the reality is, the development of the war after that slapped the Kuanren Emperor hard, just the fleet of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, which he had painstakingly operated for more than 20 years, knocked out the Sanyi Navy, those warships purchased from the Brilliant Federation and the non-commissioned officers sent to the Glory Alliance for further study were originally his confidence, but in front of the Guangchen Navy, he was like a chicken and a dog, and he was simply vulnerable.
Li Pan personally led the expedition, leading the fleet of the Shangdu Protectorate and his Jian'an Metropolitan Governor's Mansion all the way to attack the city, and in half a month, he eliminated Kuanren's main force and pressed the battle line into the inland sea of Sangyi. After the bombing of the fortress, Kanhito had to give up his unrealistic illusions, issue a declaration of surrender, and sign a series of humiliating covenants with the castle.
Afterwards, Correa's nobles learned that Zheng Jingren had already stood on Guangchen's warship and had established a fairly reliable friendship with the Andong Protectorate early in the morning, so they put away their careful thoughts and expressed their support to the Grand Duke as if they were fine. Zheng Jingren, who witnessed a series of changes, finally woke up, understood the truth that learning martial arts cannot save the country, and began a 20-year road of development.
Lin Yun'er is just one of the many tragedies between Correa and Sang Yi, but her identity is more special, the night Zheng Jingyi was killed, her two brothers were also assassinated one after another, and her mother noticed that something was wrong and begged Lin Yongrong, the chief of the palace guard at the time, to take her out of the palace and leave. It is a felony for the guards on duty to leave the palace without authorization, not to mention leaving with the young daughter of the Grand Duke, and if they are caught, they are likely to raid the family, but Lin Yongrong still did it without hesitation, and it was his decisiveness that saved Zheng Jingyi's only bloodline.
Shortly after Lin Yun'er was taken away, her mother was also killed by assassins in Changdeok Palace, Lin Yongrong protected her all the way to break through, and was seriously injured in the process of escaping by the Sangyi people, and lost her life soon after, Lin Yun'er, who learned the truth when she grew up, insisted on changing her surname to Lin, in order not to forget the kindness of the year.
"Later, I thought a lot of times, maybe I was the legendary Heavenly Evil Lone Star Destiny." Although he said it with a smile on his face, he couldn't hide the sadness in it.
Lin Yun'er's appearance is very pitiful, especially the pair of deer eyes are extremely lethal after being fogged, but Li Ang saw hatred in her eyes, but the strange thing is that this hatred is not for the Sangyi people, but for Jessica. This emotion is just a flash, but Li Ang's perception is so keen, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, looking at the beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but want to shake his head, he originally thought it would be a bloody "Huanzhu Gege", but after watching the beginning, he found that it was the female version of "The Prince's Revenge".
What puzzled Li Ang was that Zheng Jingyi's death had obviously been proven to be indeed a conspiracy of the Sangyi people, not Zheng Jingren's intention to usurp the throne and kill his brother, it stands to reason that even if Lin Yun'er has an opinion on Zheng Jingren, it is at most a kind of anger rather than hatred, and there is no reason to hate Jessica's head, so where does this hatred come from?
"It's time to come back to your senses, you're still staring when everyone is gone, beware of eyeballs falling out." After Lin Yun'er left with the cup in a curling manner, Jessica stepped on Li Ang angrily, her little daughter was full of posture, but she didn't feel it, "Is it so good-looking?" ”
"No, just wondering why your sister doesn't have an ass." Leon explained.
"Poof! Don't let her hear it. Jessica couldn't help laughing, because the relationship was too expensive, she almost didn't break the zipper of some tight dresses, Lin Yun'er was too thin, so everything was mediocre, after Li Ang finished speaking, Jessica herself couldn't help but stare at it for a while, "Speaking of sister, aren't you Xiao Crystal's teacher, I can't see you instructing her in swordsmanship, since you have accepted the apprentice, you should teach it seriously." ”
"Teach her more, have you ever seen me practice swords on my own?" Leon asked rhetorically.
