"When the Great Qi Dynasty was destroyed, among the Yuan family members who survived, only our Luosha's ancestor fled out of fear and left his homeland. For the rest of his life, he lived in regret. When he died, he left a will, hoping that future generations could help him find the descendants of the Yuan family who stayed in the Central Plains."
Ji Yun sighed and said, "Now, I have fulfilled the last wish of my ancestors."
"On the day of ancestor worship, I will tell him everything I have learned today in front of the ancestor's tablet."
I just wonder, if the spirit of my ancestor in heaven knew that after I became a deserter, the Yue Kingdom did not rule the Central Plains, but instead the descendants of Daqi occupied the territory again, would he regret traveling thousands of miles away from his homeland to settle in this strange place?
After all, if you look closely, the situation of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the desert was not very good at that time.
Because of the outrageous witchcraft prophecy, they had to live in hiding for quite a long time. At the worst time, there were only about 5,000 Rakshasa people left. Not to mention the people of one country, I'm afraid that even the larger cities in other countries have more people left than Rakshasa.
If witchcraft had not been banned and the Raksha Kingdom had not moved away from its old location and chosen a new place far away from other countries that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as its base, she might not have come. It is hard to say whether the Raksha Kingdom still exists today.
"Since the Queen knows that after the Great Revelation, the Central Plains will be overlord again, do you have any plans to lead the people of Rakshasa back to the Central Plains?" Wei Yunlan asked.
Although there are not many Rakshasa people, she dare not underestimate them.
With a population of less than 10,000 people, it was able to establish itself as a country and has always stood firm among more than 20 countries in the northwest. In addition to Ji Yun, this extraordinary woman, other people in Luosha must also have their own unique abilities.
If they want to return to Dayong, perhaps they can change the current situation in Dayong.
Ji Yun gave the answer without even thinking about it, "No."
"The Rakshasa Nation has been in the northwest desert for nearly 150 years. Although their appearance is somewhat different from that of people from other countries because they rarely intermarry with other countries, they have long since integrated into this place over the past 150 years."
She looked at Wei Yunlan and said seriously, "Central Plains is the hometown of Luosha Country, but it is not the hometown of the people of Luosha Country today. I will not take them away from their hometown that has finally settled down and get involved in more complicated disputes."
Ji Yun thought very clearly.
Wei Yunlan didn't know whether to feel regret or relief.
In fact, she still had many doubts in her heart and wanted to ask Ji Yun, but at this time the palace maid came in and whispered respectfully, "Queen, the guests are all seated, and the king is coming this way."
"Then let's prepare for the banquet. Let the king wait a moment. I will go with him." After explaining to the palace maid, Ji Yun turned to Wei Yunlan and said with a smile, "Miss Wei and I hit it off right away. If Miss Wei is not in a hurry to leave, I have something important to discuss with her after the banquet."
After a slight pause, she said with a hint of reminder: "Yes, there are some items I want to trade with Miss Wei."
Wei Yunlan had some guesses in his mind when he heard this.
It might be that Marquise Ji Xun and Queen Ji Yun talked about porcelain and silk. Silk and porcelain already existed during the Daqi period. Although they were not as gorgeous and exquisite as they are today, the ancestors of the Rakshasa Kingdom must have seen them.
The ancestors of Luosha Kingdom did not bring silk and porcelain to the northwest, but it is believed that some relevant records would be passed down. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ji Yun was interested in them.
The birthday gift she prepared for Ji Yun was also a piece of exquisite porcelain.
If Ji Yun wants to trade these items, that would be great. She can then put forward conditions and exchange them for a batch of grain seeds and more things that Dayong can use from the Qimeng Kingdom.
In this way, they would not have to search on their own in Qimeng like headless flies.
"Then I will wait until after the banquet, when the Queen sends someone to look for me."
Wei Yunlan nodded in agreement.
She was first led out of the palace by a palace maid and returned to the square where the birthday banquet was held. The square, which had been quite noisy before, was now much quieter. Most of the guests had already taken their seats, waiting for the arrival of the king and queen.
The palace maid beside Ji Yun led Wei Yunlan directly to the seat arranged for her by Ji Yun.
The location is unexpectedly forward.
In the first row next to the circular stage, next to her was Marquise Ji Xun. Even Hanzhe and Su Lie were sitting a little further back than her.
This meant that they did not treat her as a junior, but rather as a friend from another country who had come from afar. They treated her as an equal and gave her enough respect.
On each seat, there were silver cups and several stacks of snacks and fresh fruits that were served first.
Before the banquet started and the drinks were served, the waiters walked between the seats, adding sweet fruit juice or fragrant fruit tea to the guests' cups.
The guests did not leave their seats, and while waiting for the protagonist of today's banquet to arrive, they chatted quietly with the people around them.
Ji Xun, who was sitting on the right side of Wei Yunlan, smiled at Wei Yunlan in a friendly manner. Her eyes showed a look that was different from her usual calm and composed look. She asked curiously like a little girl, "Miss Wei, can you tell me what Da Qi looks like now?"
"The Central Plains is now called Dayong. The previous emperor was brave and expanded the territory of the original Daqi and Yue Kingdoms. Now Dayong is bordered by the sea in the east and south, and is separated from Xiliang by a deep forest in the west. The north is a thousand miles across the Yueheng Mountain. It is divided into more than 30 continents, each with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people."
Wei Yunlan introduced in a low voice.
Compared with the northwestern countries, Dayong, which is located in the southeast of this land, is like a behemoth.
It has a longer historical heritage, as well as more territory and population.
Before the banquet started, Ji Xun asked about the charm of Wei Yunlan's hometown. She sighed repeatedly when she heard Wei Yunlan describe his journey from the capital to the north, and then to the northwest, passing through different landforms such as mountains, plains, and deserts along the way.
"Dayong is a vast land, and many of the landforms Miss Wei mentioned have never been seen in our countries."
"Speaking of which, the population of our Luosha country is only the same as that of Dayong City. Even the Mosang country is only equivalent to a continent of Dayong at best!"
Ji Xun was extremely surprised when she heard this. Compared with the Rakshasa Kingdom, the territory and population of the Qimeng Kingdom were already very vast and numerous in her eyes.
But compared with the former Daqi and the current Dayong, it seems not good enough.
The pride that comes from blood arises spontaneously. When the Luosha Kingdom was persecuted the most, wizards had slandered them for their unknown origins. But it turns out that these Luosha people with black hair and black eyes are not born to be a symbol of bad luck.
Their ancestors and compatriots are far more powerful than these people can imagine!
