Chapter 314: Your Nobles
When Kao heard Xia Jiang say this, he knew that they hadn't been together for at least a while, thinking that Xia Jiang must be busy with her own business, but now she wanted to keep each other more and more, so she said: "Childe saved Ruyan's life, Ruyan has not expressed his gratitude, I wonder if I can give Ruyan a chance to thank?"
Xia Jiang had long known that the other party was reluctant to him, and listening to the other party's sincere invitation, it would be a little inappropriate for him to refuse again, so he said: "Okay, then Xia Jiang will leave tomorrow, but you don't have to be so polite Kao, you used to help me Xia Guo regardless of the consequences, and you were kind to my Xia country, what is my little effort this time." ”
Listening to Xia Jiang's promise, although it was only one day, Kao was also very happy, and immediately restored his former demeanor and began to send someone to arrange food for Xia Jiang.
The people of Xia Jiang stayed, but in their hearts they were secretly planning to recapture the Xia Kingdom from the Dugu Empire, and before that, all those kingdoms that had invaded other countries, he had to go to them one by one to investigate these countries clearly. Through these things, the ant group's storage zài was indirectly disseminated, so that all the high-ranking nobles knew that there was a mercenary group called "ant" in this world.
In the evening, Xia Jiang once again felt Kao's sincere hospitality to him, and at the same time, he also felt the admiration of the other party every time he saw him, coupled with her charm technique, Xia Jiang believed that a man would never be able to resist.
However, he resisted the urge to accept the other party, and still treated each other as a friend and did not cross the thunder pool. But Xia Jiang wasn't sure if he insisted on doing this to him if he was so indifferent to him, he would not change his mind.
The next day, Xia Jiang left quietly without saying goodbye to Kao, and he really didn't want to face the sadness of parting anymore, so it would be good for the other party to be completely conscious.
Leaving the country of flowers, Xia Jiang immediately came to the country of Xia.
Returning to this familiar homeland again, Xia Jiang's feelings were completely different, he was originally the prince of Xia, and now he is just a mercenary.
However, what Xia Jiang couldn't have imagined was that he thought that although the Xia Kingdom was controlled by the Dugu Empire, it was at least ruled by Xia Lei, and it was a whole, but at the moment, it was not the case at all, and the Xia Kingdom had already been torn apart, just like the Shi Kingdom that they had bought at the beginning.
"What the hell is going on? Xia Guo will disappear in this world history faster than I imagined...... Xia Jiang was saddened by the current situation of Xia Guo that he had discovered.
He suddenly thought of Cao Kuang in his mind, so he wanted to find out about him, but found that he had disappeared after the fall of the Xia Kingdom, so Xia Jiang had to look for other old ministers who had worked under him. But suddenly, he saw the incomparably familiar signboard, Wanbao Pavilion, and was instantly attracted.
He almost immediately came to Wanbao Pavilion to inquire, and when he learned that Hu Jin was still in the academy, he understood that he was the only one who could explain the ins and outs of Xia Guo these days.
In just ten minutes, Xia Jiang crossed the boundaries of a country, came to Yanqiu Academy, and found Hu Jin.
Hu Jin was also extremely surprised when he saw Xia Jiang, but it was followed by a sigh from the south.
"Xia Jiang, if I guessed correctly, you came to ask me about the current situation of Xia Kingdom, right?" Hu Jin immediately closed the door to invite junior seniors to visit Wèn. He is now the second highest ranking in the academy after the chief dean, almost equivalent to half of the dean, and some seniors and university deans will come to consult him every day.
"That's right, I want to know what happened to Xia Guo, how did it come to this point in such a short time!" Xia Jiang said lightly.
Then, Hu Jin immediately told Xia Jiang the information he had heard word for word, and only after a long time did he continue: "That's basically it, and I also found out about the people who assassinated Xia Lei, if that's right, the person at the head is your fourth brother, Xia Yan!"
Listening to this news, Xia Jiang compared it with his own guess, and was completely sure that Xia Lei was killed by Xia Yan. At the beginning, Xia Yan wanted to kill Xia Lei in public in order to let him inherit the throne, and after that, he escaped from prison and never heard from him again.
Next, after further sorting out the beginning and end of the current situation in the entire Xia Kingdom, the big stone in Xia Jiang's heart immediately fell, and he already knew what to do.
Hu Jin looked at Xia Jiang's plan to reorganize Xia Jiang, but boldly gave instructions: "I know that brother, you have become the concubine of the vulture kingdom, and now the vulture country has been occupied by the prince of Dugu, pretending to be the king, and now the two forces in the kingdom are secretly incompatible, in short, there is chaos, if the brother goes to quell the chaos, and then raise his arms and shout, there must be a group of people willing to follow, and then not only the Xia country, the vulture country may also be attached to the name of the brother!"
Hu Jin gave this advice, but also cautiously continued: "But I just built it like this, but my brother acted very carefully, now that Emperor Dugu has cultivated to be promoted to Spirit King, the entire empire has been turbulent, and many princes want to take the opportunity to make contributions!"
These Xia Jiang naturally knew about it for a long time, but he was also extremely grateful to Hu Jin for thinking about him so thoroughly, and thanked him immediately.
In addition to thanking him, Xia Jiang also took out some spiritual weapons he had refined and obtained from the storage ring and gave them to the other party, and then immediately left.
Xia Jiang naturally set off to return to the Xia Kingdom, originally the Xia Kingdom was scattered, and now that he killed the Seven Princes, there will be no one to manage it here, and this is the time for him to raise his arms.
However, he didn't want to do this for the time being, his current plan was to secretly promote the ant group, and for the Xia Kingdom, all he needed was that this land could stabilize and maintain a complete country.
When he returned to the palace, he found that it was deserted.
Walking through it, I didn't see a powerful person, but I came across a craggy old man who was cleaning here.
"Old man, it's a pity that I don't know how to be so deserted and such a good place?" Xia Jiang approached the old man and asked pretending to be a passerby.
The old man's ears were still sound, and when he heard someone asking, he was stunned, looked at Xia Jiang up and down, and said, "Little brother looks like a good cultivator, and he comes from here regularly, right?"
"Well, how?" Xia Jiang smiled slightly and nodded.
"Little brother doesn't know, this place was originally inhabited by the nobles of the Xia royal family, just because before and after the fall of the Xia royal family, it was attacked by the masters of the Dugu Empire, which made the blood of the Xia royal family almost cut off, and it was regarded as an ominous place by everyone, and now it is divided, and most of them are still worried that the Dugu Empire will send people to suppress and govern, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and this place is almost forgotten like this once glorious Xia Kingdom......"
It surprised Xia Jiang that this old man knew so much about the affairs of his Xia royal family, and there was a lot of desolation in his words, obviously regretting the fall of his Xia royal family.
"Old man, since this is an ominous place, but you are still doing something here, could it be that the people of the Dugu Empire have given you the benefit to clean up here?" Xia Jiang felt stupid when he asked this question, but he wanted to hear the old man's thoughts.
"Hmph, my old man respects you as a cultivator at your age, but you look down on the old man so much? If the Dugu Empire gives the old man benefits, the old man will never come over even if he dies!" The old man's temperament is quite stubborn, and he cares so much about his relationship with the Dugu Empire, but it seems that he is a red city for the Xia Kingdom.
However, listening to the old man's words, Xia Jiang was undoubtedly ashamed, but hurriedly apologized: "Don't blame the old man, the kid is just trying to ask that, how can he doubt you? But it's just that the old man is old, and you still have to stay in this barren land, do you want to spend the rest of your life again?"
While speaking, Xia Jiang secretly probed the other party and found that the old man's body was actually quite strong.
Next, under Xia Jiang's sincere conversation with the old man, it was for him to know a news that surprised him, it turned out that the reason why the old man cleaned here was because he was indeed grateful to his Xia royal family, and on the other hand, it was because he dreamed that his father had entrusted him with a dream and asked him to come to the palace to clean.
As soon as he woke up from the dream, the old man stubbornly said goodbye to his family and embarked on the road to the palace without hesitation. Speaking of which, there is naturally the dissuasion of his children and grandchildren, after all, it was still the most ominous period of the Xia royal family, and everyone avoided the Xia royal family and even the people surnamed Xia, but he was going to clean there, how could the clansmen not be afraid of being implicated, so he finally came to the palace almost in the scolding of the clansmen. Now, the old man is completely alone, and even if he returns to his hometown, the people will drive him away.
However, knowing this, Xia Jiang looked at the perseverance on the old man's face, and did not grieve at all for breaking with the family, but thought that one day his dream would come true, which would make the family prosperous and developed. This spirit of complete selfless dedication made Xia Jiang feel a kind of strength and a belief that none of their cultivators necessarily had.
"Old man, you might as well think about it now, in your hometown, your children and grandchildren are finally ......helping someone because of your persistence," deeply moved by the spirit of the old man, Xia Jiang also deserved to be a master in his father's dream, to complete the old man's dream.
Naturally, under the guidance of Xia Jiang's magic sound, the old man suddenly began to imagine that beautiful scene with great natural longing, and at this moment, the spirit of Xia Jiang invaded the old man's mind and began to have an in-depth understanding of the old man's hometown and the current situation of the entire family.
Soon, Xia Jiang learned from the old man's imagination, and even if he separated an incarnation, he went out. That's right, he was going to make the old man's entire family prosperous right now, and this matter was more important than anything else right now!
"Judging from all indications, that dream is likely to be entrusted by my father, but I don't know if my father knew that I would return here again, and I was unwilling to let the Xia royal family really disappear......?
At this point, Xia Jiang no longer concealed his identity, he opened his arms and said to the old man: "Old man, do you think the boy and I look like your nobleman?" As he spoke, with Xia Jiang as the center, the original barren environment of the entire palace began to change drastically, as if a curse had been purified, and began to restore its original appearance little by little.
