Chapter 397: Aaron's Past (Part II)
Aaron paused, glanced at Wang Yong, who was listening very carefully, and then continued: "After we left the city, we were about to find a village to spend the night, but before we could go far, we were caught by a group of soldiers who were chasing us. At that time, I didn't worry much about myself, thinking that it was a big deal to beat up those second lords, that is, to be locked up for a few days, and when they were angry, they would be fine, but I was very worried about my wife, and I didn't even dare to think about what would happen if she fell into the hands of those second lords. We were surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, and we couldn't run away, so I took out all the money I had and handed it to the squad leader, begging him to let us go, at least my wife and children. The captain took the money, but shook his head at me and said that if it was a normal thing, he would definitely let us go, because he was also very unaccustomed to what those nobles did, but today's matter was too big, and if he let us go, he would be unable to protect himself. I was still very surprised, wasn't it just to beat up a few second masters? How big of a deal could it be, but when the captain of the soldiers said a word to me, I was completely stupid. He told me that one of the five Second Lords I beat had died, and that his father was a baron, and that his relationship with the lord of the castle was very unusual. ”
Aaron smiled wryly and said self-deprecatingly: "A baron is nothing to me now, but at that time, the baron was already the biggest nobleman I have ever heard. I knew I was done, but I couldn't bother my wife, so I begged the captain to let them go, but the captain was embarrassed for a long time, and finally brought the whole of us back to Diego City. ”
Wang Yong asked curiously, "Do you hate that team leader?"
Aaron smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "There is nothing to hate, Yu Gong, he is acting on orders, he is private, there is nothing between us, and there is no need for him to involve himself for a stranger." Wang Yong nodded. Motioned for Aaron to continue.
Aaron continued: "After our family was taken to the City Lord's Mansion, we were put in a cell without even being interrogated, and I was already so distraught that I could only take this responsibility so that my wife and children could leave alive. But that night, the lord of the city sent someone to forcibly take my wife and children away from me, and when I woke up from being knocked unconscious because of my resistance, it was already noon the next day. I was screaming and screaming in my cell, yelling for my wife and children, but no one paid any attention to me. Thirsty and tired, I stopped yelling. Sitting in the corner of the cell didn't know what to do. Speaking of which, Aaron seemed to be back in the same place, with a sad and helpless face.
Wang Yong patted Aaron on the shoulder and comforted, "It's all over, how is your wife?" Aaron came back to his senses and looked back at Wang Yong suddenly.
Wang Yong was startled by Aaron's hideous expression and blood-red eyes, swallowed his saliva and said softly, "Relax." ”
Aaron came back to his senses, the expression on his face softened a lot, smiled apologetically at Wang Yong, and then said, "I stayed in the cell for a few days. No one brought me water or food, and just as I was dying of starvation, the team leader who had captured us came to me with my son Alva in his arms and told me I could leave. I hugged Alva tightly and asked about my wife's whereabouts. But the squad leader just didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed. In the end, I was driven out of the City Lord's Mansion by a large group of guards from the City Lord's Mansion, and I didn't leave Digo City unwillingly. I had no money, so I carried Alva on the street begging, trying to find out where my wife was. Someday. Alva was sick, and I carried him in the street begging, trying to beg for some money and take him to the priest, but when I came to the largest street in the city of Digo, I happened to meet a luxurious convoy, and I was driven by the soldiers who opened the road and waited for the convoy to pass, but for some reason, the convoy passed by me and survived, and then a guard came up to me and put a money bag into my arms. ”
Speaking of this, Aaron laughed to himself and said, "I thought that the owner of this convoy should have taken pity on me, and gave me some money to take Alva to heal, and I thought that there were good people among the nobles and rich merchants. The convoy left, and I was dumbfounded when I opened the money bag, because it was full of gold coins, at least a few hundred, which was definitely a lot of money for us low-class people. I didn't think much of it at the time, and hurriedly took Alva to the priest in the city and asked him to help treat Alva's illness. The priest had a good heart, and not only did he not collect money after releasing a few healing techniques for Alva, but he also told me that Alva might have the talent to cultivate Douqi, and asked me to cultivate it well, and let me go to the professional union to confirm again. I was very happy to hear the news, and hurriedly ran to the professional union to test Alva, but the person in charge of the test got the wrong object and gave me the test, and after the results came out, I learned that I also had the talent to cultivate Douqi, and passed it on to Alva. I was very happy at the time, and came to the castle lord's mansion with the test results of the professional union, thinking that with the potential of me and Alva, even the castle lord would look the other way, and let my wife Winchell go. ”
Aaron paused and said, "As I expected, the lord of the city received me and spoke in a very polite tone, but when I asked about my wife's whereabouts, the lord told me that my wife was taken away by the royal family member Grand Duke Kozmo from the imperial capital, and it was the luxury caravan that had just left. I was so disappointed that I didn't know why Winchell had left me. The lord of the city told me that I should have been put to death for the murder of a nobleman, and that my wife had allowed the Grand Duke of Kozmo to leave me for my sake. I sat weakly on the ground, holding Alva tightly, and I realized that the owner of the convoy had not taken pity on me to give me so many gold coins, and that Winchell in the convoy must have seen us and begged Grand Duke Kozmo to give me life-saving money. With that, Aaron was silent.
After waiting for a while, Wang Yong asked, "Then what?"
Aaron sighed and said: "I really want to catch up with Grand Duke Kozmo's convoy to get my wife back, but I also know very well, not to mention that I was not a Dou Qi cultivator at that time, even if I was a junior warrior or an intermediate warrior, Grand Duke Kozmo, as a member of the royal family, would not care, so I thought about it for a long time, and then decided to raise Alva as an adult, and I myself had to fight for greater rights, and then go and take back my wife." After that, I used most of the gold coins to buy the cultivation method of Dou Qi, and then returned to the village to practice day and night, and finally advanced to the rank of junior warrior after three years. Then, I entrusted Alva to the villagers, and then changed my name to Aaron and went to join the army on the border with the Lawson Empire, because I knew that military merit was the fastest way for someone like me who had no background to rely on to enter the army. I fought on the border for five years, and after accumulating a certain amount of military merits, I retired from the army and came to West Asia City to become a city lord. ”
Wang Yong thought about what Aaron said, but he didn't know what Aaron was going to say, and he couldn't hear what the point of what he said was and what it had to do with joining the seaside.
Aaron smiled at Wang Yong and said, "I originally wanted to use my status as the lord of the city to go to the Grand Duke of Kozmo to find someone to be a dignitary, but when I really came into contact with the nobility and the sinister career of the nobles, I realized that if I want to take back my wife, I must offend or even confront the Grand Duke of Kozmo or the entire royal family, because my purpose has violated their dignity." So I didn't rush to the Grand Duke of Kozmo, but continued to accumulate strength, waiting for the day when the empire changes dramatically, I can fish in troubled waters and save my wife. ”
Wang Yong asked puzzledly: "Your wife Winchell is still with Grand Duke Kozmo?
Aaron nodded and said, "Yes, Winchel is still in the Grand Duke's Mansion in Kozmo. I got in touch with her two years ago and she is looking forward to getting back to us soon. ”
Wang Yong muttered in a low voice, "It seems that the Grand Duke of Kozmo is very infatuated with your wife." ”
Seeing Aaron's displeasure, Wang Yong hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I also want you to be reunited as a family." ”
Aaron sighed and said, "Don't you know the temperament of those nobles? Let me tell you, Winchell told me in a letter that after she returned to the imperial capital with Grand Duke Kozmo, she had a fine life for the first few months, but after half a year, Kozmo had lost his freshness with Winchel, so he demoted her to a subordinate, and worked until late at night every day. Winchell told me that if it hadn't been for Kozmo's threat that if she dared to kill herself or run away, then someone would have killed me and Alva, so Winchell lived in pain. ”
The more Wang Yong listened, the more confused he became, and asked puzzledly: "Since your wife Winchel has been demoted to a subordinate, then as your identity as the lord of a city and a junior warrior, he should not refuse to go to Grand Duke Kozmo to ask for a subordinate, right?"
Aaron shook his head and said, "I have just said that this is an issue related to the face of their nobility, not to mention that Kozmo is a member of the royal family, and the royal family pays more attention to these." Even if they don't like or want things, once they come to them, even if they let them rot, destroy, or die, they won't be transferred to others. ”
Wang Yong thinks about it, those nobles are not all the same, after the beauties they fancy are tired of playing, they will be put aside, and they will not be transferred to others, unless that person is more powerful than him, he will definitely not let other people get involved in half of it, it is the so-called possessiveness.
After a long silence, Wang Yong said to Aaron, "Do you want me to help you save your wife?"
Aaron nodded unabashedly and said, "Yes, this is just one of them. (To be continued......)
