The old man sighed and continued: "My grandson, named Ximen Jun, was born in a prestigious family, his grandfather is also a relatively well-known figure in our place, and Xiaojun's father is my only son, our family lives here, it is a very happy thing, but ......"

Speaking of this, the old man paused a little, but after sorting out his emotions a little, he continued: "The comfortable life suddenly changed because Xiaojun's grandfather fell ill,"

"Suddenly fell ill?"

"That's right, usually Xiaojun's grandfather doesn't have any physical problems, I don't know if you know the Lu Dao cultivator? But his grandfather is a cultivator, but for no reason, all of a sudden, he is weak, collapsed on the bed, and has seen many doctors, but there is no cure.

At this moment, out of nowhere, a group of people appeared and rushed directly into our family, my only son tried his best to block them, but he still couldn't stop those people, those people were very strong, even my son couldn't stop them, the people in the family were controlled by the other party, they arrested Xiaojun's grandfather and father, and only drove me and my grandson out."

"Who are they? Why are they so rampant?"

"Who it is, I still don't know, after I left Xicheng, I wanted to go to Beicheng to find the duke to theorize, but when I went halfway, I was really hungry and cold, so I met you Lu"

Lan nodded, and the old man continued, "When I finally found Beicheng, but I found that the duke was no longer in Beicheng, and after hearing that the Beigong family temporarily took the position of the duke, in desperation, I wanted to find my old friends, but they were missing, there was no way, I could only come back, but these guards guarding the city saw me so down, even if I reported my identity, they didn't believe it, and now they treat me like a liar, so they don't let me enter the city"

"Why don't they let you in if you tell me who you are?"

"To be honest, I used to be a woman's house and never came forward, so there were very few people who saw me, maybe my current appearance is indeed a lot different from my original image, and it is understandable that they don't believe it. ”

"According to what you say, there are indeed many things that are not coincidental, and the Duke is indeed no longer in the North City at the beginning, because of some things."

After hearing this, the old man glanced at Lan Yi in surprise and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of Duke Dao?"

Lan Yi shook his head and said, "It's not clear where you are going, but when you arrived in Beicheng at that time, a lot of things did happen."

"Hehe, is this the witch's revenge?"

"Mikoto?"

"Hehe, this was many years ago"

"I know this, I'll say, I'll say"

The old man's grandson hurriedly said. This time, the old man did not stop him.

"I know that a long time ago, there was a small river above the west city, but at some point, this small river became a big river, and often many, many rivers would rush into the city, and every time the river rushed into the city, it would cause the death of livestock and people."

"Can the river still cause death?" Lan Yi looked at the old man in disbelief, and seeing that Lan Yi didn't believe it, Xiao Jun said a little anxiously: "Really, it's true,"

The old man took over and said, "Yes, the river does not know what to do, once it flows into the city, it will flow for days and nights, and the river will wash up countless houses, as long as people fall into the river, it will disappear in an instant, it is a witch who can tell fortunes in the city, she said, this is the anger of the river king, a punishment for the people here, the only way to rescue is to throw a boy and girl into the river every once in a while, which means a tribute to the river king, so that the river king will not be angry." ”

"And that kind of thing?"

"When Xiaojun's grandfather passed by here, he also heard about it, and he felt very ridiculous, and threw the witch directly into the river, but in order to prevent the river from flowing into the city, his grandfather dug many trenches at the source of the river, and rebuilt the city wall here, and the city wall you see now is built by his grandfather back then."

Lan Yi looked up, and the city wall in front of him was not only high, but also sturdy, far stronger than the buildings in the northern city.

Since his grandfather completed this, the river did not flow into the city, and the people here were very angry with his grandfather's actions, and detained him, but after what he did, there was indeed no previous problem, and the people looked at him differently, and the last had to leave him behind, saying that he was the benefactor of Xicheng, and he had nowhere to go at that time, and the last had to live here. ”

"It seems that Xiaojun's grandfather is also a person with some courage," Lan Yi said with admiration.

In this way, the love of the people and his hard work, finally gained something and became a famous person in Xicheng. But...... Ay. I didn't expect that."

"Old man, those unknown people, after taking away your family, didn't they make any demands?" Lan Yi asked.

"No, they now control our family, and the entire West City was controlled by them almost overnight"

"That's strange, could it be that they came to take the West City?"

"At the moment, it seems that this is possible?"

"Then why did you choose your family to capture Xicheng?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Xiaojun's grandfather should be the strongest person in Xicheng."

"What? You said that Xiaojun's grandfather is the strongest person in Xicheng? Could it be that you are one of the four major families in the Northern Kingdom?"

The old man nodded slightly, and Xiao Jun also stood up and puffed out his chest towards Lan Yi.

It would be forgivable to say that the soldiers guarding the city gate did not believe the identity of the old man, but after Lan Yi heard it, he looked at the very embarrassed old man in front of him, how he could associate her with a noble-born woman.

But Lan Yi was convinced of the person in front of him.

Looking at Lan Yi's somewhat surprised expression, the old man asked, "Do you not believe it?"

Lan Yi shook his head and said, "I believe"

"Why do you believe it?"

"By feeling"

"Huh, do you believe your feelings?"

"I believe in how I feel at the moment"

"Okay, whether you believe it or not, after knowing my identity, you also understand my situation, what can you do for me?"

Lan Yi thought for a while and said, "Is it true that after Xiaojun's grandfather fell, the Beigong family came to power?"

"Seems to be"
