Chapter 23 King Lu Tian



Lin was also speechless. She just saw someone selling small jewelry nearby and wanted to buy some for her daughter. Suddenly, she was hugged by the girl and asked to buy them.

Although she had money, their current situation was that they had no place to live and their daughter was still in exile. She really didn't want to cause any more trouble.

But seeing the young man and girl in front of her, who were good-looking, filial, and knew how to sell themselves to bury their father, crying with tears and snot, it was really a bit pitiful. She asked Ye Liang who was standing beside her.

"My husband, what do you say?"

Seeing that Lin had shown some signs of loosening up, Ji Hua continued his efforts.

"Please be so kind as to buy us out!"

Ye Xinran looked at the halberd-drawing-spear-chess game that entangled Ye Liang and Lin, which was a forced sale. If they didn't buy them, they wouldn't let them go.

Can this be accomplished...

For the first time, Ye Xinran began to doubt her decision.

They could not stay, so they could only follow the crowd out of the city. They walked at a moderate pace, and soon they could no longer see the farce.

After walking for about half an hour, they saw the carriage of Ye Liang and his wife following behind. This time, it was not Ye Liang who was driving the carriage, but Ji Hua and Qiang Qi.

The two of them did not feel gloomy at all about selling themselves to bury their father. Instead, they were very excited, as if "Dad" had come back to life!

Seeing this, Ye Xinran doubted her own judgment again. She had thought that her elder sister was a steady person! Now she found that both of them were thick-skinned.

When they arrived near Ye Xinran and the others, Ji Hua carefully slowed down the carriage.

The two of them nodded to Ye Xinran in a very subtle way.

Ye Xinran nodded. "Okay, the mission is accomplished!" Then he smiled at them.

The two saw Ye Xinran smiling. They knew that the master was satisfied. They also relaxed. They felt that the new master was really nice, kind and kind, unlike their prince who was cold and icy.

Qiangqi's eyes curved and he raised his eyebrows at Jianshu. He was very proud.

See, the first mission was completed successfully!

Jianshu pouted unhappily. He also wanted to sell himself to bury his father!

Ji Hua hit Qiang Qi on the forehead as if to warn him, and then he also smiled widely.

Ye Xinran couldn't even bear to watch.

Lin and Ye Liang drew aside the curtain and looked at Ye Xinran with worry in their eyes.

Ye Xinran shook her head at them, indicating that she was fine.

Finally, he urged Ji Hua with his eyes, asking them to go first. Ji Hua understood what he meant and drove away first.

We started late today, and it was already noon after walking for just over an hour. Dong Yishu was still injured, so he stopped by the roadside to rest and eat.

Ye Liang and his friends also rested here.

Originally, Ye Liang and his wife wanted to follow the exile team. But Ye Xinran refused. The main reason was that Ye Liang and his wife took a carriage, while they were prisoners and had to walk. This would create a big gap. No one would say anything for one or two days, but after three or four days, people would feel unbalanced and there would be trouble. They planned to take Ye Liang and his wife's carriage.

Ye Xinran didn't want Ye Liang and his wife to see them suffer too much, so it was better to keep a distance. After a while, when she was sure about what business to do, she planned to let Ye Liang and his wife go to Xibei Gu Aiguan first to buy land, buy a house, and do business. There was no need to waste time on the road.

Ye Liang introduced halberd painting and gun chess to Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran also treated it as their first meeting.

They talked for a while. Lin gave Ye Xinran a bundle, and Ye Xinran did not refuse. This would make Lin feel better.

Ye Xinran returned to Gu Yanming with the bag and pretended to take out a lot of food from the bag, but in fact she took it out from the space.

"Oh, there's also dried meat!" Gu Yanxin's eyes widened.

Ye Xinran liked her innocent character very much, so she simply handed the baggage directly to Gu Yanxin.

"It's all up to you! Divide it however you want!"

Gu Yan was happy that Ye Xinran trusted her. She took the bundle with open arms, which contained steamed buns, dried meat and eggs.

She distributed the food to several people according to their age, and only kept a small amount for herself.

Ye Xinran was relieved and gave her all she had. "You eat, I'll go to my mother's place for a meal!" Then he stood up and walked over.

Everyone knew that this was food for everyone to go out of the province. Most of the food recently was also obtained by the princess. They were grateful and convinced.

Ye Xinran walked up to Lin again and casually picked up a steamed bun to eat.

Ji Hua handed over a water bag.

Ye Xinran took it, drank a few sips, and then sat cross-legged to practice martial arts. Ji Hua watched carefully from the side, not letting anyone get close.

After staying for about an hour, the exile team set off again.

After walking and stopping for another two days, we arrived at Luli City.

Gu Yanxin asked the old prince curiously.

"Father, are all the people here surnamed Lu and Li?"

It was not the old prince's turn to speak at all, Jianshu rushed to Gu Yanxin and said.

"Fifth Miss, you should ask me about this kind of thing! I know it best!"

Gu Yanxin raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Why, is your last name Lu? Or Li?"

Daoqin laughs.

Jianshu touched his nose, feeling a little sad, "No, I, I don't even remember what my original last name was!"

"Then tell me why this place is called this name!" Ye Xinran kindly came to the rescue.

Jianshu nodded and returned to his usual playful smile.

"This city was originally a village, inhabited by two large families named Lu and Li. Later, the two families continued to grow in number, and one of them was the founding general Lu Ziyou, so it became the current size of a county town."

"Ha, I know! Lu Shanshan's great-grandfather!" Gu Yanxin blinked, "She and I have a very good relationship!"

Ye Xinran smiled and nodded.

Jian Shu continued, "Lü Ziyou followed our founding emperor to build the country and was eventually named the General Guarding the Nation. His most famous battle was killing the previous dynasty's King Xiaoxiao."

Several people came over and listened carefully. Jianshu became even more proud and described the story vividly.

"This King Xiaoyao is a devil who enjoys killing people. He only sleeps with virgins and eats children to supplement his body."

Ye Xinran frowned when she heard this.

Gu Yanxin also looked disgusted.

Gu Yanming's already stern expression became even colder.

"In the fiefdom of King Xiaoyao, all brides who wanted to get married would be sent to his mansion first, and he would send them back to her husband's house after enjoying them, to consummate the marriage with her husband. Many women committed suicide because they did not want to be humiliated, so he killed their families. He was still not satisfied, and searched for virgins everywhere. He also listened to the words of a Taoist priest who came from nowhere, saying that eating children's hearts could prolong life, strengthen yang and nourish the kidneys. The local people were in a miserable state. Because of this, many crimes were bred, and no one cared. Gradually, his fiefdom and the surrounding areas became a hell, and there was a tendency to slowly expand outward.

Lü Ziyou led the rebel army and attacked for three days and three nights. He finally cut off the head of King Xiaoyao and hung it at the city gate to comfort those who died tragically. He also became famous in one battle. The local people called him the King Lu who saved the suffering.

Everyone was silent.

"Then he really did a great job!"
