"Yan'er, I know that Beijiang Qi State has great power, so how can I dare to use the prince to help me take revenge? Moreover, when the two countries fight, more people like my parents will die."
Xia Jingyan in his arms sobbed and nodded.
"Yan'er, you have also seen everyone in the village. Except for the elderly and children, there are also those who are missing arms or legs. They are all common people or family members of common people who participated in the war led by my parents. After the war, they all defected to my family.
, so he recognized me, the only survivor of the Zhou family, as the young owner of the village to repay the kindness of my parents. Now that they are like this, as the young owner of the village, I just want to lead them to live a peaceful life.
, I won’t ask for it anymore.”
Zhou Ranzhuo sighed.
"There were some literate people in the village, so I studied with them. Those who had some skills, I practiced martial arts with them. But I couldn't learn martial arts from the people in the village, so I studied on my own. Now I am somewhat successful. I went to the prince and worked for the village.
I can get a little bit of protection from you, and I can also get some extra silver to support the village, and that's enough."
Xia Jingyan looked up at Zhou Ranzhuo, who forced himself to smile at her.
"I can ask Brother Wang to take them into the capital to live there." Xia Jingyan whispered.
Zhou Ranzhuo shook his head.
"No need, they are used to living in this place and can't leave." Zhou Ranzhuo said, and Xia Jingyan had to give up his method.
"By the way, there is also Gu Yun."
Zhou Ranzhuo breathed a long sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed when he said it.
"Gu Yun and I also learned that we are related to our ancestors. We had never met each other when we were young. It was only two years ago that Gu's family fell into decline, so Uncle Gu taught him to come to me and let him make a living with me. I thought about our ancestral ties.
, and I was longing for family affection, so I recognized my cousin, so I said he was my cousin, and I was thinking too much about the past, so I told you that my nine clans were wiped out, and I forgot about Gu Yun."
Zhou Ranzhuo smiled lightly, and seeing him smile, Xia Jingyan also smiled.
Zhou Ranzhuo is the person in the world who can affect her thoughts the most.
"This mountain is close to the Yi River, and it is true that the Yi River was once the residence of the Zhou royal family. But Yan'er, my relationship with the Zhou royal family is really only close to each other, with the same surname of Zhou. How can I, who was born unlucky, be with me?
The royal family has connections.”
Zhou Ranzhuo smiled helplessly.
"I admit that I was indeed a survivor of the former Zhou Dynasty in Nanjiang, but I really don't deserve to be a prince or emperor."
Xia Jingyan also smiled and took a breath.
"Now, do you trust me?" Zhou Ranzhuo lifted Xia Jingyan's chin with his hand and asked her to look at him, "You still ask me why, you are so wronged to me..."
Xia Jingyan stood up on tiptoes and kissed Zhou Ranzhuo's red lips.
"Are you still aggrieved?" Xia Jingyan's face was as red as drunkenness.
The breeze ruffled their hair, the sun poured down on the earth, and everything looked peaceful and peaceful.
Zhou Ranzhuo frowned and thought for a while, and then came up with an unreasonable and bad idea.
"I'm sorry. If you give me something, I can feel better." Zhou Ranzhuo held Xia Jingyan's hand, acting coquettishly.
In this way, Xia Jingyan innocently stepped into Zhou Ranzuobu's "trap".
"What object? If I can, I will find it for you."
After hearing this, Zhou Ranzhuo smiled and leaned over to Xia Jingyan's ear to speak. After hearing clearly, Xia Jingyan realized that he was full of evil!
"Give me the medicine you gave me in the morning..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Jingyan immediately let go of Zhou Ranzhuo's hand. His face turned red and hot, and he stood there at a loss. After a long time, he lightly slapped Zhou Ranzhuo and said shyly: "
What can I say, annoying..."
"Hey, it was obviously Yan'er who gave me the drink, but why do I hate him? Yan'er is unreasonable!" Zhou Ranzhuo still walked around Xia Jingyan reluctantly, liking to see Xia Jingyan's shy look.
Xia Jingyan didn't know what to say and had no choice but to hide.
The two of them were arguing when Gu Yun suddenly said something from behind them:
"Cousin, princess, let's have a meal."
Looking back, Gu Yun was smiling and waving not far away.
Being able to laugh out loud must have made him feel much better, and Zhou Ranzhuo was also happy for Gu Yun.
After all, for people who have had such an experience, the best thing to do is to come out. Being entangled in pain for the rest of your life is not a good thing after all.
Afterwards, Zhou Ranzhuo took Xia Jingyan's hand and led her into the hall to eat with everyone.
There are not so many rules in the village anymore. Xia Jingyan no longer has to worry about so many etiquettes. He can drink with the people at the same table, look at the sumptuous meals on the table, and look at the simple and sincere smiling faces of the people. Xia Jingyan feels sincere.
She was happy and felt that this was really the most comfortable banquet she had ever had in her life, much better than those royal banquets filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas.
After a meal, it was already evening. Xia Jingyan looked at the fading brightness outside the house, and then he remembered that he was far away from home and had not told his brother, and he became uneasy.
"Ranzuo, it's been several days. I didn't tell Brother Wang about this trip. Brother Wang would be worried." Xia Jingyan tugged at Zhou Ranzuo's sleeve.
If Xia Jingsheng heard these words, he would probably be moved to tears: You stinky girl! It’s been five days! Now you remember that you still have a brother!
Xia Jingyan was so nervous, but Zhou Ranzhuo looked relaxed and showed no signs of worry. He even took Xia Jingyan out for a walk.
"Don't worry, I told the prince." Zhou Ranzhuo glanced at Xia Jingyan with a smile, "I also said, please don't worry, the prince, I will take good care of you."
At this moment, Xia Jingyan felt a little calmer.
"Just say it, otherwise Brother Wang will be anxious now." Xia Jingyan breathed a long sigh of relief and continued to hold Zhou Ranzhuo's hand and walk with him in the mountains.
Xia Jingyan never would have thought that Zhou Ranzhuo would leave a note in front of the courtyard door and write something that almost made Xia Jingchen faint.
At night, when bugs come out, there are fireflies flying in the sky, and there are cicadas in the grass, calling endlessly.
Zhou Ranzhuo seems to have another shortcoming. When he is free, he will think randomly and come up with random ideas. At this moment, he thought that Xia Jingyan is afraid of bugs. Bugs other than fireflies made Xia Jingyan want to fly as soon as he saw them.
, and now there are many bugs in the grass...
"Yan'er, what sound do you hear in the grass?" Zhou Ranzhuo pretended to be surprised and approached the grass, and even invited Xia Jingyan to come with him.
"Cicadas are calling, what else is there?" Xia Jingyan fell into the "trap" again.
While Xia Jingyan was listening carefully and not paying attention to other things, Zhou Ranzhuo had a wicked smile on his face, quickly pinched a cicada in the grass, and quickly stuffed it into Xia Jingyan's hand.
Xia Jingyan felt his palms beating, so he lowered his head and glanced, murmuring: "What..."
Soon, there was a scream like a killing pig.
Xia Jingyan screamed and shook off the cicadas in her hands. She almost wanted to peel off a layer of skin from her hands. When she looked back at her beloved Zhou Ranzhuo, he almost burst out laughing.
"Zhou Ranzhuo!" A furious Xia Jingyan chased after Zhou Ranzhuo.
The village echoed with the laughter of the two of them, and it took a while before it became quiet.
Another day, Xia Jingyan had been away from home for too long and couldn't stay any longer. He fed the horses and had breakfast before preparing to return to Dongjiang. Everyone in the village came to see him off, and everyone had a smile on their face until Zhou Zhou.
Ran Zhuo helped Xia Jingyan onto the carriage first, and everyone's smiles disappeared instantly. In an instant, the atmosphere outside the carriage became depressing.
Zhou Ranzhuo turned back for the last time, glanced at everyone with a solemn expression, turned around and got on the carriage, Gu Yun was riding on the horse, and like Zhou Ranzhuo, he glanced at the "common people" in the village with a meaningful look in his eyes. After that, he rode the horse
Ride away.
What village people? What common people?
They are all the surviving soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom invited by Gu Yun!
How much they hate it, yet they have to smile at the people they hate so much!
At that time, how many people died under the sword of the Xia king, but they were all dug out of the dead.
They can tolerate it now, but they will definitely take revenge in the future.
Do the Xia family still remember that the Yihe River was bloody for three years?
It was another mighty journey, and the car was full of laughter and laughter. After three days, including fast horses, we finally arrived in front of Prince Xia's Mansion.
Now that we're home, it's time for Xia Jingyan to explain to his brothers...
