Chapter 686: Good Intentions But Nothing
Wujun, a county town in the west of Qihai Province, Wujun City is not too big, only able to accommodate 70,000 or 80,000 residents, early in the morning, the morning fog in the county town, people can not see things a few meters away, it has just rained a winter, the road is slippery and muddy, passers-by are in a hurry, the sound of trampling muddy water and the sound of "clanging" hammering iron in the distance is connected.
The harvest blacksmith shop, one of the few blacksmith shops in Wuxian, casts nothing more than some hoes, shovels, hunting knives and other agricultural tools, so the name of the blacksmith shop is named "Harvest", which means that farmers can harvest abundant grains and hunters can return with a full load.
In the blacksmith shop, an old blacksmith about sixty years old smoked a dry cigarette, one bite after another, the wrinkles on his face overlapped like earthworms, his deep eyes with helplessness and sighs, looking at the young man who was beating the iron tools not far in front of him, this young man was about twenty years old, in the winter he actually waved a heavy hammer with bare arms, each hammer was powerful, and the careful person could also see that his strong arms were surrounded by a layer of almost invisible flame luster, and at the same time a small fire fox martial spirit appeared on his shoulder, loomingγ
"Trace, has the hunting beast broadsword that the Liu family wants been beaten?" the old man asked loudly.
"It's almost ready, grandpa, just give me another stick of incense. β
"Hurry up, the people of the Liu family are going to set off early in the morning and need this knife. β
"Yes, Grandpa. β
At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the mist, and a group of people broke through the fog and slowly rode their horses, among them, at the forefront were two people wearing luxurious armor, a man and a woman, the man's eyes were calm, the woman's expression was soft, and they were wearing the emblem of the imperial purple flower on their shoulders, and it was a golden purple flower, and they knew that they were nobles at a glance.
"Excuse me, is this the blacksmith's house?" asked the female general softly.
The old man immediately stood up in a hurry, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "This ...... This lord, I am Blacksmith Zhang, what is the matter?"
The female general hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, I am from the Zetian Hall in Lanyan City, and my name is Su Yu." β
"Huh?"
Although the old man is in a remote Wuxian County, he still knows the names of the three kings, four princes and five marquis, and the middle-aged beauty in front of him is the legendary Xining Marquis Su Yu!
"Grass People...... The grass people see Lord Xininghou!" The old man hurriedly knelt again.
Su Yu smiled slightly: "Old man, you really don't need to salute, this one next to me is Qin Yan, the loyal king." β
"Qin ...... Qin Yan ......"
The old man was about to go into shock, this young man turned out to be the Qin family, and now there are not many people with the blood of the orthodox Qin family, this young man looks peaceful and has no arrogance, it is actually Qin Yan, one of the three kings!
"Trace, silly boy, what are you still standing for, why don't you hurry up and kneel down and salute His Royal Highness King Zhong!" the old man scolded loudly.
The young man who was called as a trace hurriedly wiped his hands and knelt down on his knees in the mud: "See His Royal Highness King Zhong, see Lord Xininghou!"
As soon as Qin Yan made a mistake, he had already helped Zhang Xi up in the air with his soft strength, and said, "You're welcome." β
The old man looked at the group of royal forest guards brought by Qin Yan and Su Yu, and couldn't help but feel a little timid in his heart, and asked, "Your Highness and the prince came to us?" I don't know what happened......
"Old man, you are terrible. Su Yu smiled gently: "We just want to know, Zhang Xi...... Who is his father?"
"Trace's father......" The resentment in the old man's eyes flashed away, and he said: "That negative person never came back after staying overnight at my house, but my poor daughter has been depressed since she gave birth to Trace, and died of illness three years ago. β
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Old man, that negative person, is it the Tang family?"
"This ......"
The old man hesitated.
"Don't be afraid, old man, we are in charge of everything, you just tell the truth. Su Yu reassured.
The old man nodded, unconcealed the disgust in his eyes, and said, "Later, I inquired and learned that that person is a person from the Seven Seas Tang Sect, that is, Tang Jin, the second son of Tang Lan, the king of the Seven Seas, hum...... He died of illness seventeen years ago, what a retribution!"
Qin Yan said: "Old man, are you really sure that person is Tang Jin?"
"It's true, he left a piece of jade for my daughter, and I took the jade to the servants of the Tang family to see, and it was the thing of the Tang family. β
"Where's the jade?"
"Ten years ago, during the rebellion in Lanyan City, the Boxers attacked Zetian Temple, and Seven Seas City wantonly recruited troops and donated taxes, and the jade was sold by me, otherwise the lives of our grandparents and grandchildren would be unsustainable. β
"I see, that's ......," Qin Yan groaned.
At this time, a trace of panic flashed in the old man's eyes, he took a few steps back, hugged his grandson's arm, and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhong, I heard...... I heard that the Tang family rebelled, Tang Lan cut himself, and the entire Seven Seas Tang Sect has fallen apart, you ...... He's still young, he doesn't know anything, he's just a little blacksmith......"
Qin Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and Su Yu next to him said with a cautious expression: "Old man, the Seven Seas Tang Gate did not rebel, His Royal Highness Tang Lan, the King of the Seven Seas, fought a bloody battle against the Boxer rebels in Bailing City, and finally died in the country, we came to find the bloodline of the Tang family this time, just to rebuild the Seven Seas Tang Gate, this Tang trace has a fire fox martial spirit, and there is no doubt that the Tang family is the Tang family." β
The old man was stunned: "Lord Junhou, do you want to take away the traces, he ...... He's the only one you can rely on......"
Su Yu sneered: "Don't worry, old man, I have discussed with His Royal Highness King Zhong, and I plan to let Tang Trace inherit the former title of Tang Lan, the King of the Seven Seas, and canonize him as the Duke of Zhenbei, if Tang Trace is the Duke of Zhenbei, you are his grandfather, and naturally you will go back to Seven Seas City together to enjoy Qingfu!"
"This ......" The old man didn't react for a while, he didn't even know what the Duke of Zhenbei meant, a duke, which meant that Tang Qi would become the master of the entire Seven Seas City, fighting against Yi Fan and governing the huge Seven Seas Province.
"So ......"
The old man was stunned for a while, hurriedly patted Tang Qi's shoulder, and said, "What are you waiting for, silly boy, why don't you hurry up and clean up and follow His Highness......"
"No need to clean up. β
Qin Yan smiled slightly: "Old man, Seven Seas City has everything, don't worry, you can just get into our carriage directly, and you will be able to reach Seven Seas City in three days." β
"Thank you, Your Highness......"
Qin Yan took a deep look at Tang Trace and said, "Tang Trace, do you know your identity now?"
Tang Qi lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Qin Yan's eyes and said, "Your Highness, I know." The villain is Tang Jin's illegitimate son and the only bloodline of the Tang family. β
"No, you're wrong. β
Qin Yan's eyes were a little disappointed, and he said: "Your real identity is Tang Xiaoxi's cousin, if it weren't for Tang Xiaoxi, the Tang family would have been wiped out six years ago, and you wouldn't be spared!"
As he spoke, Qin Yan took out an edict from his arms and threw it to him, saying, "Look clearly, this is the edict that canonized you as the Duke of Zhenbei, and the handwritten letter of the empress Qin Yin six years ago." β
"His Royal Highness Qin Yin?" Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, since he knew his identity, he had been constantly understanding the top of the empire, and naturally knew the stakes of Qin Yin's handwriting, so could it be that Qin Yin already knew about his existence six years ago?
"Let's go......"
Qin Yan seemed to be a little tired, his sword eyebrows tightened and he pulled the reins and turned around, leaving side by side with Su Yu, while Tang Yan and his grandfather got into the carriage of Zetian Palace.
......
In the mist, Wujun became more and more peaceful, only the sound of horses' hooves and swords colliding with armor, Qin Yan and Su Yu walked in front of the crowd and entered the fog outside the city.
"Ah Yan. β
Su Yu frowned lightly and said, "Xiao Yin's hard work at the beginning, will the world know about it?"
"I don't know if the world can understand it, but I do. β
Qin Yan clenched his fists, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and said: "Tang Lan and Tang Lu colluded with the demon clan and gathered 300,000 troops with the intention of taking advantage of the situation to enter and occupy Lanyan City, this crime is enough for them to die 10,000 times, but my cousin did not use swords and soldiers, and did not kill Tang Lan with poisonous wine, just because I didn't want the Tang family to bear a charge of treason that will never be recovered, my cousin was grateful to Tang Xiaoxi for his kindness, but in the end, ...... In the end, it ended up like this......"
"Do you blame Xiaoxi?" asked Su Yu.
Qin Yan's eyes were deep: "Xiaoxi has paid so much for the empire, and she is so affectionate, who can blame her?"
Su Yu said: "Yes, no one is wrong, who is wrong? Is it the world that is wrong?"
Qin Yan smiled bitterly: "What is wrong is the choice between trade-offs, the lord of Xi County can only choose one person between his cousin and Tang Lan, Tang Lan rebelled, intending to make a big move, and the soldiers were in trouble, my cousin had no choice, if Tang Lan was spared, millions of innocent people would die in the world, she could only exchange Tang Lan's life for the lives of millions of people, Xiaoxi had no choice, she was a member of the Tang family, everything she could do for her cousin had already been done, but it was just ...... It's just that I don't understand why she has to kill her cousin, Xiaoxi doesn't understand the Tang family's antipathy. β
"Maybe there are other reasons...... Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "All right and wrong cause and effect will come to light one day, Xiaoxi has protected Lanyan City many times, it is Xiaoyin's sisterhood, Xiaoyin has taken great pains to do so much, and she also doesn't want to live up to the world and Xiaoxi, this is the only way she can choose, as long as there is still this friendship between the two of them, it will one day open to the clouds." β
"I hope so. β
Qin Yan held the reins, suddenly shivered, pulled the fluffy cloak, and said: "This year's winter is really not ordinary cold, it seems that it is another cold winter, and the documents of various states and counties should also be issued, and they must be ordered to supervise the opening of warehouses once every half a month." β
"Well, got it, I'll do it myself. β
"Thank you, Aunt Yu. β
Qin Yan sighed in the palm of his hand, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's cold, I don't know what happened to the eldest brother and King Xin......
