"Did you know that you have a great aunt?"

Jiang Lan didn't directly talk about the reason, but asked Ji Kao about something that seemed to have nothing to do with it.

Ji Kao nodded: "I haven't seen it, but I heard my mother say that there is a great aunt, who is my mother's eldest sister, who is in her thirties, but she has never married." ”

Jiang Lan sighed and said, "Your eldest aunt is really an amazing existence." ”

When she said this, her eyes were full of admiration, or admiration. This woman doesn't seem to be much older than her.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Everything you have encountered has to do with your great aunt. ”

Next, Jiang Lan told her what she had just experienced, and she directly found a cousin of Ji Kao and asked her about the inside story.

Unexpectedly, his cousin, without waiting for Jiang Lan to ask, told everything about everything.

Just a dozen years ago, the Youxin family, like their ancestors, relied on outstanding Xin women to make friends with various local countries in order to protect themselves.

This is the habit of the Xin family, a habit that has been there since the Xia Hou family. Their strength is not strong among the many Fang countries, but relying on this method, for hundreds of years, almost no Fang country has fought with them.

After Chengtang destroyed the summer, as the surname of Yu Wang, there was Xin's family, which has always been coveted by businessmen. In order to protect the temple and fiefdom, the kings of the Xin clan have practiced the technique of sending women to perfection.

Almost all the larger Fang countries have accepted women from the Xin family, either as slaves, or as maids, or as concubines, and of course, there are also a small number of wives. These wives are all women with a very high status among the Youxin clan.

This situation was not until more than ten years ago, when a person was born.

This person is Ji Kao's aunt, Ji Dianzheng.

The pawn, the judge, the righteous, the way of the grandeur.

Ji Kao's eldest aunt, her original name, was just the eldest daughter, just like Ji Kao's mother's name Ji Zhongnu, but after she succeeded in cultivation, she changed her name to Ji Dianzheng.

The one who is in charge of the way of grandeur.

Since it is necessary to be corrected, it is natural that there are unrighteous things that need to be corrected. And the unrighteous thing that Ji Dianzheng thinks is the thing that has Xin giving away a daughter.

When he was young, he saw his father and collected beautiful women from the Youxin clan to marry everyone. As a woman, she naturally hated it when she saw her kind of people crying and mourning like goods.

When she was a little older, she unintentionally got a totem guide, and in a flash, ten years of hard work allowed her to connect with the ancient law.

It's just that she has just received the Fa Xiang, and there is the Wu Zhu of the Xin family, and no one is her opponent.

Then, Ji Dianzheng changed his name and directly sent someone to pick up the nine Xin girls that his father had sent to the road directly, and told her father very bluntly that if she sent the Xin girls out again, she would not mind changing the monarch for the Xin clan.

This kind of unfilial behavior made Ji Zhongding furious, and he directly wanted to take down his daughter.

If you don't marry, it's up to her. Unexpectedly, she also wanted to influence the major events of the Xin family's marriage.

Ji Zhongding sent someone to get the eldest daughter, but in the end, he found that the Wu Zhu in the witch temple was not Ji Dianzheng's opponent alone.

Later, Ji Dianzheng was even more alone, carrying a knife into the Nine Great Fang Kingdoms, within one day, the defeated cultivators of the Nine Kingdoms, directly forced the monarch, let them all return to the Xin family, accept the matter of the Xin girl, and give up.

After Ji Dianzheng returned to Xin, the whole country was shocked, and it was unspeakable, and the matter of sending women away could only be stopped, and it had been nearly ten years in a flash.

"It turns out that my aunt is so powerful. ”

Ji Kao muttered to himself that his eldest aunt could be regarded as a pioneer of the feminist movement.

"One day with a sword, travel through the nine countries. Majestic and upright, when the floating white. ”

Ji Kao's heart was surging, and he looked around, but found that there was no wine in the quiet room, so he could only give up and sigh to himself.

In such an era, in fact, Ji Kao also has a lot of things that he can't get used to. However, his strength is limited, his identity is limited, and many things he knows but can't say, and he can't manage what he sees, and he can't do anything about it.

Now that he heard that his eldest aunt, a woman, could do this, how could he not be surprised or displeased?

Thinking about it again, besides my aunt, is there anyone else who is also doing the same thing.

Away from the world, different from everyone, alone. Although the thoughts and thoughts may not be the same, there must be more than one person on the road ahead.

Jiang Lan was so excited to see Ji Kao, her face was strange, how could it be similar to when she first heard about it. She is because of her own woman, and Ji Kao, what is it for?

Seeing Ji Kao's handsome appearance, Jiang Lan couldn't help but glance at him, and then shook her head, it shouldn't be.

"Just a few months ago, His Majesty Wu Yi summoned cultivators from all directions to either go to Qiyi or to the Dongyi battlefield. Your aunt is upright, and she goes to Dongyi. Therefore, your grandfather and two uncles set their minds to restore the old system. However, they are worried that when your eldest aunt returns, they will be blamed, and maybe the throne will really be handed down by that time. ”

"So, they are ready to choose from the nine daughters who have been rescued by your great aunt. When your aunt comes back, if she wants to find trouble, she will go to your trouble first. I heard that your aunt loved your mother since she was a child, and they wanted to see what the end result would be?"

When Ji Kao heard this, he dared to love his grandfather and uncle, who were experimenting with himself.

"Now that you know the situation, what are you going to do? I heard that at the banquet, you refused on the grounds that it was dark and you could not see your face clearly, and tomorrow you will not be able to use this reason. ”

"In your opinion, what should I do?"

Ji Kao smiled and looked at the Ying sister surnamed Jiang, and it was rare to see that she was willing to say a few more words to herself.

"What's so difficult about this, just refuse. Of course, if you want a maid to be a servant, then I didn't say it. ”

Ji Kao sighed and said, "If you refuse, it will make my grandfather's face ugly, and if you don't refuse, it will not be like my aunt in the future." At this time, it's really a dilemma. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Jiang Lan sneered, as if she was laughing at Ji Kao's indecision and looking forward and backward.

Ji Kao glanced out of the quiet room, glanced in the direction where his maternal grandfather was, and said lightly: "I'm not going to do anything, Sister Ying, let's leave." ”

Jiang Lan was stunned: "Are you going to say goodbye without saying goodbye?"

Ji Kao said: "It's a matter of urgency, when I came here, I already left a book in the room." ”

Although he agrees more with what Ji Dianzheng did, Ji Zhongding is Ji Kao's maternal grandfather and his mother's father after all. Ji Kao didn't plan to look ugly with his grandfather in person when he didn't plan to do it tomorrow, so he could only leave at night, which could be regarded as a bit of affection.

"Let's go, then. ”

Although Jiang Lan had a lot of complaints about Ji Kao's evasion, she did not object to his decision.

"There is no hurry, let's go to the door and let everyone see it, lest the guards be blamed. ”

Seeing that Jiang Lan was about to pull herself up to the clouds, Ji Kao waved his hand to stop her, and then took her and went directly towards the main gate of the palace.

"Kao Gongzi, where are you going?"

Along the way, people kept asking about Ji Kao's intentions.

Ji Kao didn't make any answers, and the two of them ran quickly to the main gate with Jiang Lan.

"Hurry up, go and inform your lordship. ”

There was a clear-eyed person, who immediately reacted and ran to inform Ji Kao's maternal grandfather, Ji Zhongding.

And when Ji Kao arrived at the door, the armor guard at the door said that he would not let Ji Kao out.

Ji Kao was not in a hurry, smiled faintly, and looked into the palace.

Soon after, I saw Ji Zhongding surrounded by everyone and appeared in Ji Kao's field of vision, with his hair and clothes in a slightly disheveled bun, obviously just getting up from bed.

"Kao'er, why did you leave late at night without saying goodbye? It's my grandfather's place, is there any kind of hospitality?"

Ji Kao shook his head and smiled, bowed deeply to his grandfather from afar, and saluted.

After the ceremony, he said to Jiang Lan: "Sister Ying, let's go." ”

Then, Jiang Lan stretched out her hand to pull him, and the two of them were already above the clouds, and they were heading south.

Only the people of the Xin clan were left, watching their distant backs below.

Ji Zhongding's eyes were slightly regretful, looking at Ji Kao who was far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, here's a letter. ”

A sergeant came over with a few bamboo slips and handed them to Ji Zhongding.

"In the middle of the night, I heard about the battle on the river, and the sergeant was still in the period, so I couldn't sleep. Leave the book and say goodbye, and hope that my grandfather will forgive his sins. As for the matter of the daughter, Rong Kao carefully considered it, and when Yin Du returned, he would tell his grandfather. ”

Looking at the bamboo slips left by Ji Kao, Ji Zhongding's face was slightly gloomy, and then he suddenly smiled.

"Kao'er said that there is something urgent, and the matter of the maidservant, let my grandfather make a decision for him. That's fine, you hurry up and prepare, the nine women, none of them will be left behind, and all of them will be sent to Zhou Yuan. Tell Zhou Gong that this is the maid I gave to my grandson. ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Zhongding returned to his room, ordered someone to fetch a brazier, and burned Ji Kao's book.

······

From the clouds to the south, Ji Kao and Jiang Lan finally saw the war, or the end of the war.

The sacrificial soldiers who crossed the river to the north were already defeated at this time, and were defeated by the combined forces of the Rui clan, the Yi clan and the Xin clan.

The chief general of the sacrifice side was killed in battle after being encircled, and the sergeants, led by the lieutenant general, fought and retreated, wanting to return to the side of the river and return south by boat.

But when he arrived at the Fengling Ferry by the river, whether it was the sacrificial sergeant or the tripartite coalition army, as far as the eye could see, it was stormy waves.

The waves rose in the sky, and the sound of the waves was incessant, like the roar of a great river and the anger of the river.

In the stormy waves, there seem to be two people walking through it, as if walking on the ground, one holding a staff, a cloak spreading, one holding a sword, an ancient crown and big sleeves, and they are fighting endlessly.
