Chapter 695: Yuecheng Yueshi
Ten days later, Moon City.
Early in the morning, as soon as the city gate opened, four people handed in four documents for entering the city.
This group of people were Tang Li and others.
"Are you from Yunfeng City?" The city guard looked at their documents, checked them, and when he saw that there was no problem, he let them in.
Seeing that the city guards did not make things difficult for them, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that City Lord Yun had blocked the news quite well, and Wu Ku had not yet passed the news that Wu Li was still alive to Wu Jie.
Four people entered the city.
"Go to Yue's house." Wangyou said.
The saint lives in the temple, and is definitely surrounded by Wu Jie's people, so it is not easy to see the saint.
They need the Yue family's help.
Wangyou is from the Yue family, and the Yue family is the only one he can rely on.
Tangli nodded.
Along the way, she heard Wangyou talk a lot about the Wu clan. The child recorded in the holy book who was marked with the fire lotus by the Moon God was the ancestor of the Yue clan.
It is said that the god felt that the child had a special affinity with him, so he gave the child the surname Yue.
The Yue clan passed down from generation to generation and became the largest clan of the Wu clan. If the Yue clan is an old-established clan, then the Yao clan is the newcomer.
About three hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Yao family was a jade miner in the forest. He rescued a lost saint and became acquainted with her.
The Yao family rose from this point on.
After three hundred years of development, it became a large family as famous as the Yuezhi.
A group of people rode on horses on the streets of Yuecheng.
Sanbao couldn't help but look around, with curiosity in his big eyes.
Tangli was also curious. This was Yuecheng. Yuecheng was equivalent to the capital of the Wu clan and was the most prosperous place in a country.
The buildings in Yuecheng all have red walls and black tiles, and totems are painted on the railings, adding a lot of exotic style.
The people got up very early, and the streets were already crowded with people in bright and fancy clothes. In contrast, Tangli and the others were wearing rather plain clothes.
The language spoken by the Wu people is similar to the language outside. Apart from the language, they also have some similarities with the outside world, such as architectural style and some living habits.
Tangli heard from Wangyou that about a hundred years ago, a foreigner strayed into the Wu tribe. He was a healer and cured an epidemic. The Wu tribe ostracized outsiders, but this one was an exception. The chief witch even claimed that this one was sent by the gods to save the Wu people. This one was a close friend of the chief witch and was deeply respected by the people.
The language of the Wu tribe is complex and has no written form. It was this person who gave the language and written form to the people of the Wu tribe.
The contents of the holy book were originally passed down orally and later recorded in writing.
"The Great Witch is coming!"
Someone shouted, and the people on the street quickly parted to both sides, making way in the middle, and then knelt down respectfully.
Tang Li looked towards the street in the distance and saw a high sedan chair pulled by deer slowly coming. The roof was dark red, with curtains on both sides, and a person was sitting in it.
The man was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but he looked majestic and untouchable.
Tangli just took a quick glance and then pulled Sanbao to kneel down.
Wangyou and Du Ye also knelt down.
The four of them blended in among the crowd of people and were not conspicuous.
Wangyou clenched his hands into fists tightly. The glance just now reminded him of his master lying in a pool of blood!
It was this man who killed the master, the saint, his parents, and countless members of the Yue family!
He tried his best to suppress his hatred, and his handsome face was slightly distorted.
Until a small hand patted his arm, gently and soothingly.
Wangyou became strangely calmer, and the surging hatred within him also subsided a lot. He looked at Sanbao and smiled.
After Wu Jie's chariot passed by, the people stood up and continued doing their original work.
"Wangyou, we will definitely avenge your master." Sanbao leaned close to Wangyou's ear and whispered.
Wangyou's ears turned slightly red. He didn't dare look at Sanbao and nodded: "Yeah."
A group of people came to Yue's house.
Wu Jie came to power, the Yao family rose, and the Yue clan fell.
This is something everyone knows.
However, Tangli did not expect that the Yue clan would be defeated to this extent.
The plaque on the Yue family's door was faded, and the door was tightly closed. Only a doorman was guarding the door, looking lazy.
Wangyou looked at the gate of the Yue family and fell into memories.
He was sent to live with his master when he was very young. He didn't spend much time in the Yue family and was occasionally taken back by his parents.
In my memory, the Yue family was very lively, with guests often visiting, but very few of them were able to receive an audience with the Yue family.
In ten years, everything has changed.
Tang Li saw that he was moved by the scene and patted his shoulder gently.
Wangyou took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I'm fine."
Wangyou walked over and came to the front of the doorman.
The doorman was surprised to see someone coming to the door: "Who are you looking for? Did you come to the wrong door?"
The Yue family was labeled a criminal clan, and those families that were originally on good terms with the Yue family kept their distance. There were basically no guests in the past few decades, so the doorman asked such a question.
"I came from Yunfeng City. The city lord asked me to deliver a gift to the head of the Yue family." Wangyou said.
The current head of the Yue family is Wangyou’s grandmother, Yue Lao Taijun.
In Wangyou's memory, the old lady was a stern, unsmiling, short old lady. Wangyou was a little afraid of her when she was a child.
The sacred text records that the child who was marked with the Fire Lotus by the Moon God was a girl. Therefore, all the heads of the Yue family are women.
The head of the Yue family was originally Wangyou's aunt, but she also died in the turmoil ten years ago.
The young men in the Yue family were either injured or died, and Lady Yue had to take on the responsibility of carrying the family.
Over the past ten years, it was Yue Lao Taijun who carried the crumbling Yue family...
"You're from Yunfeng City," the doorman said. He had an impression of the City Lord of Yunfeng City. He was one of the few guests of the Yue family in the past ten years. "But the old lady is not at home. Should I take you inside to wait?"
"Thank you very much." Wangyou said.
Wangyou and the other three were brought into the Yue family.
The interior of the Yue family was equally dilapidated, with many things falling into disrepair. The railings had lost their color, the bluestone pavement was missing a piece, and where there used to be a stream, it had dried up and was overgrown with weeds...
Wangyou couldn't help but look around, and many childhood memories came to mind. His brows couldn't help but frown. Seeing the once prosperous Yue family fall into such ruin, he felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"Dear guests, we've arrived. This is the living room. Please wait here." After giving the instructions, the doorman turned and left.
Four people were sitting in the living room.
Along the way, Tang Li didn't see many servants. He thought that there were only a few servants left in the Yue family, so it was normal that no one entertained them.
Sanbao is a restless person, always looking around with his head stretched out.
"Mom, can I take a walk?" Sanbao asked.
"Madam, I will take the master there." Wangyou said.
Wangyou is a member of the Yue family, so Tangli naturally has nothing to worry about and nodded.
The two children left the living room.
The Yue family is very big, and if Wangyou hadn’t led him, Sanbao felt that he would have gotten lost.
When they came to a yard, they saw that the door was locked tightly and mournful crying sounds came from inside.
"Shen Lang, where are you? Why don't you come to see me?"
"My child, please let me see my child..."
A mournful and painful sound came from the yard.
Sanbao looked inside through the crack in the door and saw a crazy woman in white. She looked to be about forty years old, with wrinkles on her face, as if she had cried too much, and the wrinkles made her look particularly miserable.
Who is Shen Lang? Is he her husband? What happened to her child? Why can't she see her child?
Sanbao imagined a sad story about a poor woman who was abandoned by her husband and whose children were taken away and she was not allowed to see them.
I think this woman must be a poor person with a story.
"Who are you? Why are you here?!" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him.
Sanbao turned around quickly and Wangyou was already standing in front of her.
The person who just spoke was an old man with a stern face, staring at them expressionlessly.
Wangyou stared at the old man in front of him, and suddenly felt his throat tighten and his nose sore.
The old man also looked at Wangyou, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's your name?" the old man asked, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
This old man is the steward of the Yue family, Uncle Rong.
Rong Bo had no children, so he treated him like his own. Whenever his master brought him back to the Yue family, Rong Bo would come to see him and secretly give him delicious food...
Compared to ten years ago, Uncle Rong looks much older and his hair is completely white.
Rong Bo asked him who he was, and he really wanted to explain his identity and get to know him.
However, he carries a huge responsibility, and the fewer people who know that he is alive, the better...
Wangyou suppressed the urge to recognize him and said, "We are sent by the Lord of Yunfeng City to deliver a birthday gift to the Patriarch of the Yue Family."
Rong Bo's rising expectation disappeared in an instant. Just at that moment, he thought the young master had returned.
Actually, think about it, how is it possible? How could Wu Jie let the young master live?
Rong Bo's heart sank, and his tone returned to its coldness: "City Lord Yun is thoughtful, but this is not a place for guests. I will take you two back to the living room."
Sanbao and Wangyou were brought back to the living room.
Rong Bo asked someone to serve them tea and then turned and left.
"Wangyou, who was that person in the yard just now?" Sanbao whispered, full of curiosity about the woman.
"She is my aunt." Wangyou said in a low voice.
His mother had four sisters, and he was the third. Her second aunt inherited the position of head of the Yue family and died in the turmoil.
Originally, the position of the head of the Yue family should have been inherited by his aunt.
However, his aunt fell in love with the heir of the Yao family.
The Yao and Yue families have always been at odds. The head of the Yue family must marry into the family. How could the Yao family allow their heir to marry into the Yue family? Therefore, this relationship was strongly opposed by both families.
Then the lovers eloped.
This incident was a great shame and humiliation for both the Yue and Yao families, and both families tacitly agreed to keep it secret.
It is said that the two eloped to a faraway place and gave birth to a child, but were eventually caught and brought back...
After being caught, separated from her husband, and unable to see her children, his aunt was deeply shocked and became so crazy.
Wangyou lowered his voice and told Sanbao about this past event.
Sanbao sighed lightly, what a poor man he was.
