Chapter 118: Relatives (I)
The decoration in the room is also simple, the room is not large, in addition to some wooden furniture, there are some porcelain vases and other things. But those things fell into Yun Yi's eyes, and he gasped. If he guessed correctly, those exquisite porcelain vases are definitely something that has been preserved on the ancient earth to the present day, with thousands of years of history.
These antiquities are not even in Lin Jiaoyang's house.
I heard that there was a somewhat damaged ancient earth porcelain vase in the imperial palace of Chu and Tang, and Chu Tianyun regarded it as a treasure and rarely showed it to outsiders.
His gaze swept across the room, finally landing on the back of the man sitting at his desk.
Driving from behind, he doesn't seem to be very old. The man was holding a book and reading, and when he heard Yun Yi's footsteps coming in, he placed the book in his hand on the table, and then turned his head slightly.
It was a young man who would never be more than twenty-five years old on the surface, but from the vicissitudes of life in his eyes, Yun Yi could clearly guess that his real age was definitely much older than himself. Yun Yi looked at this person carefully, he was tall, his appearance was very handsome, his sword eyebrows were starry, his eyes were like stars, and he was a talent. What's even more amazing is his lofty temperament, which makes people ashamed of themselves.
While Yun Yi was looking at him, the man was also looking at Yun Yi.
After a moment, a smile appeared on his face and he said softly, "Just sit down." There's freshly brewed tea on the table, so you're welcome, just go back to your own home. ”
It was obviously a stranger that Yun Yi had never seen, but in front of him, it was as if he had seen his elders, with doting, kindness and affection in his voice, which made Yun Yi feel that this person was one of his relatives.
Seeing Yun Yi sit down generously, he picked up the purple sand teapot on the table and poured two cups of fragrant hot tea. The man also came to sit down next to Yun Yi, took the teacup he handed him, and took a sip gently. Curiously asked, "Don't you want to know who I am?" ”
Yun Yi smiled slightly: "I know you will tell me." ”
"Indeed, I will tell you." The man chuckled and said, "It's rare to see such a steady child as you......" As he spoke, he saw Yun Yi's gaze fall on the mark in the corner of a bronze shield hanging on the wall, and immediately let out a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, it seems that you have already guessed." ”
Yun Yi's face was full of surprise, and he turned his head to stare at the man: "Could it be ...... Your surname is Bai? ”
"That's right, you're very observant."
Yun Yihuo stood up, his hands trembled violently, and he raised his arm and pointed at him: "You...... You...... What have you been doing for more than ten years, why did you leave the empress behind after rescuing her, leaving her alone to endure a long period of loneliness. You have the power to help her, but you never showed up, and let her die in the war......"
When he closed his eyes, the scenes of the year reappeared in front of his eyes.
Queen...... Sauron ...... Zhao Xuanxin...... Those comrades-in-arms......
It's been more than four years, but in Yun Yi's heart, everything seems to have happened yesterday.
If at the beginning, this person from the "reincarnation" organization, even if he used a small part of his strength, he could have prevented this tragedy from happening. Even if he didn't want to help the Zhao Song Empire, he should have sent someone to pick up the empress and the others......
In that way, Zhao Xiyue will not lose her mother. Maybe now, she will be like an ordinary girl, in her mother's doting gaze, to have fun. And unlike now, let the heavy responsibility of recovering the country weigh on her and his shoulders, and live a tired life.
"It seems that you guessed wrong...... the man smiled bitterly and said, "I am not a white believer......"
"Huh?" Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked without thinking, "Then who are you?" ”
"I am his elder brother, my biological brother, and my name is Bai Kaicheng."
It turned out to be Zhao Xiyue's uncle...... Yun Yi grabbed his hair and couldn't help asking, "That Bai Kaixin...... I mean your brother, where did he go? Why hasn't it been there for so many years? ”
"He ......" Bai Kaicheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to tell you about this question." I can only tell you that it is not that he does not want to go, but that for some reason he cannot help the Empress. And for more than ten years, I have been in the North Universe, and I only came back the year before last. As soon as I came back, I went to Isseras and it turned out to be ......"
Bai Kaicheng sighed, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that my younger brother and sister to have passed away. ”
Yun Yi looked at him in a daze, and from his expression and tone, what he said should not be a lie.
What happened to Zhao Xiyue's father that would make him lose his freedom, and even his wife could not protect him?
"Later, after careful investigation, I finally found you and Xiyue." Bai Kaicheng's face showed a smile again, and he said, "But at that time, you were forced to leave the Chang'an Department and join the mercenaries. And I've been secretly protecting Xiyue, and I can't go back until you come back some time ago. ”
"It turns out that you have been protecting Xiyue...... Yun Yi stood up, bowed to him, and said sincerely: "Thank you for taking care of Xiyue." ”
Bai Kaicheng shook his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Anyway, Xiyue is also my niece. Seeing that she was in danger, how could I not come to my rescue? ”
After knowing Bai Kaicheng's identity, Yun Yi had countless doubts in his heart and wanted to ask him. What happened to Shioduk's father? The person sent to attack Xiyue was Prime Minister Qin Shou, and Qin Shou was from which organization? Who is Cai Hongzhang who came last time? Where is reincarnation? What kind of relationship is it with the Dragon Slayer?
There are so many questions, and there are a lot of questions at once.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Yi sorted out some of the things he knew in his mind and asked, "Bai ......"
Seeing Yun Yi's appearance, Bai Kaicheng smiled and said casually: "You can call me uncle, we are all our own people, we don't have to see outside." ”
Yun Yi was not pretentious, so he said, "Uncle Bai, do you know who attacked Xiyue some time ago? ”
This was the question he wanted to know the most, and it would be better if Qin Shou was not a member of the Dragon Slayer Society. If he is also a pawn of the Dragon Slayer Society secretly hiding in Chu Tang, if he and the Dragon Slayer Society have a conflict, not only himself and Xiyue, but even Lin Jiaoyang and Lin Moxue, as well as Bletegg, will be persecuted by Qin Shou. What's more, the purpose of the Dragon Slayer Society is to kill all the Han people, and Chu Tang is a country ruled by Han people.
If Chu Tang, the number one power in the Southern Universe, collapses, trillions of people will fall into the heat of the water, and it will definitely be a disaster that will sweep through the Southern Universe.
"Do you mean the people I met?" Bai Kaicheng shook his head and said: "I have also investigated these people, and I can only find out that they are all sent by the prime minister of Chu Tang, as for why the prime minister is not good for Xiyue, I have investigated this issue for a long time, and I have not found anything." ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Kaicheng didn't find anything, Yun Yi thought about it, and said: "Speaking of which, at the beginning of this matter, it was Qin Shou's people who discovered the necklace left by her father around Xiyue's neck, and the pattern on that necklace is your family's badge. And later, from the mouths of those kidnappers, they also talked about your reincarnation. It seems that they thought that Shigetsu was a reincarnation person, so they carried out that kidnapping. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Bai Kaicheng lowered his head and pondered, and said, "It shouldn't be." Aside from the Dragon Slayer, we don't have any enemies in Samsar...... Could it be that the prime minister is a member of the Dragon Slayer Society? ”
Hearing Bai Kaicheng say this, Yun Yi's heart gradually sank.
If there is no accident, Qin Shou should also be a member of the Dragon Slaying Society. It seems that after going back, the marshal must be asked to make plans early, and he must not wait for Qin Shou to finish arranging everything, and it will be too late.
"I'll have people investigate this matter when I go back. If this prime minister is really a spy who will be arranged in Chu Tang by slaying the dragon, hum hum ......"
Hearing this, Yun Yi put his mind at ease, nodded, and asked again, "That...... Uncle Bai, can I ask you something? ”
"Well, you say."
"Do you know Cai Hongzhang?"
"Cai Hongzhang?"
Bai Kaicheng looked at him in surprise: "How do you know this name?" ”
"I've seen him......" Yun Yi briefly recounted what happened at the Lehu Grand Theater last month. Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone about the little kite. After listening to Yun Yi's narration, Bai Kaicheng raised his eyebrows, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Cai Hongzhang, this guy, actually did such a thing. Hmph, he is not allowed to go out without permission, this alone can lock him up for ten years! ”
Ten years of confinement, the management of reincarnation is so strict? Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't speak, but he didn't expect Cai Hongzhang to go out without permission.
"What the hell is going on?"
Bai Kaicheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In the interior of reincarnation, in order to maintain the talent of martial arts, families generally intermarry with each other. As long as the martial arts cultivation of the man or the woman reaches the congenital level two or above before the age of sixty, they can choose a mate at will among the women of the appropriate age in several families. This kind of thing is unanimously approved by several major families, and no one who is chosen is allowed to violate it. ”
"So that's ......" Yun Yi suddenly realized: "However, Zhao Xiyue can't be regarded as a reincarnated person, right?" ”
"Well, what do you say about this question?" Bai Kaicheng's face showed embarrassment, and said: "Do you remember what happened when Zhao Xiyue first appeared on stage, as long as anyone who heard her singing at the scene had a greater chance of increasing their martial arts cultivation, especially above the innate level, and could even directly break through to the first level." ”
Yun Yi nodded, when he was still in school, Yun Yi was moved by Zhao Xiyue's singing voice and successfully advanced.
"That's where things go bad." Bai Kaicheng shook his head and said, "If she is just an ordinary girl, maybe nothing." But at that party, there were also people from various organizations present, and after getting the news, each organization was ready to move and wanted to get Xiyue away. At that time, Kaixin had no choice but to turn to various families to include Zhao Xiyue in reincarnation, and unanimously issued a notice strictly prohibiting anyone from doing anything to Zhao Xiyue......"
Yun Yi's face turned a little pale, if all the organizations really gathered in Chu Tang and attacked Zhao Xiyue. I'm afraid that even Lin Jiaoyang and Chu Dumping will not be able to protect Zhao Xiyue's safety.
"And that Cai Hongzhang, who is now less than sixty years old, already has a congenital third-level cultivation. According to the rules, he can choose women from other families as his partner at will, which is the cause of this incident......"
"Then ......" Yun Yi hurriedly asked, "Uncle Bai, do you have any way?" This time it's Cai Hongzhang, there must be other masters in reincarnation, if they all come, then what should Xiyue do? ”
