Chapter Seventy-Three: Old Things
"Father and son. Dugu Yi answered Dugu Yan's question in a cold voice through the car wall.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan let go of Qin Qin, pushed the car door regardless of the fact that the carriage was still moving, and shouted incoherently at Dugu Yi's back: "You are my uncle's child, my cousin...... Dugu Yi?"
The carriage doesn't go fast, so it's easy to stop.
"I'm Duguyi. ”
As soon as Dugu Yi got to the car door and said his name, Dugu Yan ignored the injuries on his body, pounced on him, and hugged him tightly.
Dugu Yi was hugged by Dugu Yan, who claimed to be his 'cousin', and he didn't know how to deal with it, not to mention Situ Yunlong's lesson, all he could trust now was just one person, and he looked at Qin Qin who was still in the carriage for help.
"I don't think she lied to you. Qin Qin said lightly.
"But that's too ...... Coincidentally. Dugu Yi thought that the probability of meeting a seriously injured person on the side of the road was very high, but the probability of relatives was almost none; moreover, even if Dugu Yan was really his cousin, he couldn't accept the cousin who suddenly appeared after being an orphan for more than ten years.
Dugu Yi's indifferent voice calmed down Dugu Yan a lot, slowly let go of Dugu Yi, took a step back, carefully looked him from head to toe, and finally fixed his gaze on his blindfold.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
"Nothing. Dugu Yi replied coldly and said, "Since you said that you are my cousin, then you should know why my father Dugu Hong went to the Minghe Kingdom." ”
"I don't know. Dugu Yan immediately shook her head and said: "Eighteen years ago, when my uncle was expelled from the Dugu clan, I was only a four or five-year-old child, and since then his name has become a taboo in the clan, and I have only heard about him in my mother's words. ”
"Expelled from the family......" Dugu Yi looked at Qin Qin again, and was really said by her, not to mention him, even his father was not recognized by the Dugu clan, however, he was not born eighteen years ago, so it was not because of a curse.
"What was it about my father who was kicked out of the house?"
"Because ......" Dugu Yan stopped as soon as she opened her mouth and turned back into the carriage, it seemed difficult to say to Dugu Yi.
Dugu Yi naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity to inquire about his father's past, and followed Dugu Yan into the carriage. "What did my father do wrong?"
Dugu Yan shook her head and said, "In my mother's words: his only mistake was that he met the woman named Meng Yao. ”
"Meng Yao?"
Dugu Yan saw Dugu Yi's puzzled eyes, so she said again: "Haven't you heard this name? She may be your mother." ”
"My father never mentioned my mother, and I was three years old when he was killed, so I probably don't remember it. After Situ Yunlong's incident, Dugu Yi was no longer as confident in his memory as before.
"Uncle was killed twelve years ago, which means that you are only fifteen years old this year!" Dugu Yan saw Dugu Yi's martial rank, so there was a faint surprise in his eyes.
"How do you know when my father was killed?"
"One day twelve years ago, my mother quietly set up a spiritual seat in her house, and I happened to see it. After Dugu Yan finished saying this, she began to tell everything she knew about Dugu Hong.
The Dugu clan has never intermarried with foreign clans, but Dugu Hong broke this family rule, not only made a private agreement with Meng Yao for life, but also tried in vain to write her name into the family tree and stay in the clan to live, of course, this alone did not reach the point where it was necessary to be expelled from the house, at most it was to forcibly break up the pair of mandarin ducks.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations, it turned out that Meng Yao was not the daughter of an ordinary family, and few people knew her true identity, but the royal family behind her was also against this marriage, and also believed that Meng Yao was deceived by listening to Dugu Hong's rhetoric, and he must be punished. Dugu Hong and the two returned to the Dugu clan on the front foot, and the royal family caught up with the back foot.
In the case that both families strongly opposed, Dugu Hong and Meng Yao could only elope if they did not want to separate, but they were noticed by the people of the two clans before they left, and in a hurry, Dugu Hong killed one person first, and there was no possibility of recovering this sword as soon as it came out. That night, the number of dead and wounded of both tribes had already exceeded 100. In the end, a pair of lovers successfully escaped, but the enmity between the Dugu clan and the royal family could not be resolved. Later, the two clans clashed several times because of this incident, and each time more than 100 people were killed or injured before they stopped.
"That's all I know. ”
"Hmm. Dugu Yi nodded slightly. After listening to Dugu Yan's story, I contacted Situ Yunlong because he went to the Minghe Kingdom to perform a certain mission to become the city lord, and this task may be to track down Dugu Hong's whereabouts, and it was completed. Dugu Yi can now conclude that the person who killed his father is from the royal family.
"If you want revenge, I can help you, just the royal family, and make it disappear overnight. Qin Qin, who had been quiet, opened his mouth and said something that frightened Duguyan to jump up.
"No need. It wouldn't make sense if it wasn't for me doing it myself. Dugu Yi smiled and refused.
Qin Qin smiled faintly and said no more, judging from the expression on her face, she was also very satisfied with Dugu Yi's choice.
"Why do I think that the Dude royal family is not worth mentioning in your eyes?" Dugu Yan looked around at the pair of young girls left and right.
"Your delusion. Dugu Yi dropped this sentence and got up to leave the carriage, and said to Qin Qin before closing the door: "I won't be able to catch up with Liuyuan City today." ”
"I didn't rush you. ”
"I didn't rush it, but in the evening you're going to complain again. ”
"Less nonsense. Qin Qin pretended to be unhappy and said, "If you have time to be verbose here, it is better to drive away." ”
"Good, good. ”
The carriage moved again, and the relationship between the three people in the carriage became closer, at least Duguyan thought so.
"Why is it just the two of you?" This question has been pressed on his mind since he opened the car door, but Dugu Yan has only had a chance to ask it now.
"Why can't it be just the two of us?" Qin Qin asked rhetorically.
Dugu Yan was stunned, and also noticed that Qin Qin's tone was very different from a few seconds ago, but in order to continue the topic, she still spoke: "I look like you are also from a famous family, at least there should be a maid to escort you or something." ”
"What about you?" Qin Qin turned the question to Dugu Yan. "I see you're nervous about what's in the package, if it's so important, why only bring an entourage, and it's not a strong person?"
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you again. Dugu Yan completely forgot about the previous topic and Qin Qin's attitude, and as she spoke, she took out a square white jade box from the package, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know what is inside?"
Qin Qin looked away with interest, looking like he didn't want to talk.
"This is the Yuan Core of the Sixth-Order Yuan Beast!" Dugu Yan finally spoke, and opened the box. It was a pure white crystal the size of a baby's fist, and the white light emitted instantly wrapped the carriage, and the thick yuan power also gushed out like a tide.
"Those who hunted you down for this kind of thing?"
The Yuan Core, which was regarded as a treasure, was so underestimated, Dugu Yan said with dissatisfaction: "What kind of thing? The little girl really doesn't know the goods, and if she uses it well, it's not impossible to use it to create a Martial Ancestor! Even if you sell it, it can be worth two or three hundred thousand gold coins!"
"You better put it away first, I don't want to be robbed for this. "The truth that money can't be revealed, Qin Qin now understands it. Although she doesn't value this nucleus, its value is indeed as Dugu Yan said.
"Someone has already been found. Dugu Yi's helpless voice sounded with a bit of pleasure. In the past six days, there has been no trace of the Qin family's children, and there is no place to vent the anger in his stomach, and he has not yet made a move with others after becoming a fourth-level martial artist, so now it is time to see how much stronger he has become.
Duguyan pushed open the door and saw eight people blocking the middle of the road, four holding knives, four holding swords, different clothes, the same face was covered with black scarves, which made people know that they were robbers at a glance.
After watching the circle of eight people, Dugu Yan couldn't help shouting: "Do you dare not be so coincidental?"
