That being said, running away from the farewell party is really a slap in the face to the boss.
Kong Hanan still dealt with it honestly from noon to midnight.
He is a time traveler and should look down on the material conditions of this era, but Kong Hanan still couldn't help but sigh.
These guys really know how to have fun.
Come to think of it, Kong Hanan has been living in seclusion for so long, how would he know how other people enjoy themselves?
But the most exciting part is the witty exchanges between Yang Jian and Wang Dong.
Both of them thought that Kong Hanan was an undercover agent they had planted on the other side. Every word they said was full of ulterior motives, and they used all kinds of intrigues to secretly recommend Kong Hanan to the other side.
This is a waste of time.
How should Kong Hanan be played?
He couldn't help but think of the song: To cooperate with your performance, I will turn a blind eye...
Every second feels like a year.
Time is fair. Whether happy or painful, it will eventually pass.
In front of Yicui Pavilion, Kong Hanan and Xu Mengxia Tie saw Yang Jian and Wang Dong off.
Then, Xia Tie looked at the chief clerk and bowed to say goodbye.
"Mr. Kong, are you alright? If you need any medicine, I, the Xu family, will fully support you."
Xu Meng had also seen Kong Hanan's appearance before. Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt something was unusual when Wang Dong and Yang Jian attacked together.
Kong Hanan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Money is tight in the underworld, so save as much as possible.
"It is indeed necessary. Inspector Yang just told me that my daily diet should focus on nourishing yang..."
Xu Meng nodded, gave a few instructions to the secret guard beside him, and turned to Kong Hanan and said, "Mr. Kong, I have military duties to attend to. From now on, Xu Tong will escort you along the way. Let him tell you in detail about the situation in Yaoshan Town."
The military rules of the Great Qi were very strict, with seventeen orders and fifty-four executions. As a general, Xu Meng could receive some preferential treatment, but he also had to set an example. He also had to go back to organize the withdrawal of defense and could not leave at will.
Kong Hanan understood and bowed to Xu Tong.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Excellency."
Xu Tong was actually a little afraid of Kong Hanan. It was he who had his soul sucked away by Hei Wuchang in the beginning. Moreover, Kong Hanan was no longer the same person as before. Even if Kong Hanan just bowed, he didn't dare to accept it and quickly avoided it.
Kong Hanan has experienced a lot during this period of time, and his biological clock has been disrupted. He is used to staying in bed during the day and going out at night. Now he is full of energy and ready to set off. Xu Tong is just a secret guard, so how could he dare to refuse?
Although traveling high and low is fast, it is not as comfortable as riding a horse or driving a carriage. Kong Hanan was injured, so Xu Meng arranged a carriage and Xu Tong drove the car, and the two of them set off together.
On the way, Xu Tong explained what had happened.
"This story begins over a hundred years ago..."
At that time, Yaoshan Town was still just Xujia Village. The Xu family had not yet prospered. Xujia Village was deep in the mountains and the villagers were ignorant and uncivilized.
The master of the house married a beautiful concubine from outside the mountain. A long time ago, no one knew what happened in between, and the concubine died unjustly.
"But has the evil spirit been found now?"
At this point in the story, Kong Hanan probably guessed what would happen next.
This is a feudal society. In this era, human life is worthless, so wronged souls and evil spirits are everywhere. It is not as harmonious and beautiful as the environment he lived in in his previous life.
Xu Tong gave a bitter laugh: "How can it be that simple? Sir, just listen to me..."
The female ghost did cause trouble later. Many men from Xujia Village died inexplicably at home. Their bodies were emaciated and there was no trace of spirit left in their bodies.
At that time, Xujia Village invited an old wizard to deal with the matter.
The old wizard admitted that the female ghost’s hatred was too strong and that she would not stop until the soul of the head of the Xu family paid with her life.
This won’t do. As the head of a family and the leader of a village, how can we take his life lightly?
So the old wizard came up with another idea.
He is old and will not live long, so he can replace the Xu clan leader and try to resolve the female ghost's resentment.
But after his death, the Xu family buried him together with the female ghost in the ancestral tomb, buried the old wizard with the ceremony of a clan leader, and enshrined the old wizard's tablet in the ancestral temple.
The descendants of the old wizard also had to change their surname to Xu, and the head of the Xu clan at that time had to change his name and could no longer use his previous name, otherwise it would attract female ghosts.
The old wizard later became the ancestor of the Xu family, and the Xu family's secret guards were also descendants of that ancestor.
Kong Hanan nodded. Since it was a substitute death, the request was reasonable.
That's how it happened.
Even the elders of the Xu family had forgotten what happened hundreds of years ago.
This incident became a page of legend recorded in the family tree.
Decades ago, the Shu Kingdom ceded Jianmen Pass and the surrounding areas. Because Jianmen Pass was filled with too much resentment and had become a dead end, the Great Qi Kingdom ordered the abandonment of Jianmen Pass and cooperated with the Shu Kingdom to build a straight road in Yaoshan.
Yaoshan Town is 18,000 miles away from Jianmen Pass. Although Yaoshan Town had not yet submitted to Da Qi at that time, it would benefit if the straight road was built.
Kong Hanan nodded to show his understanding. In this era, a straight road is equivalent to a highway or a high-speed railway.
Yaoshan Town is located in the mountains. If you want to get rich, you have to build roads.
"But at the time, a dispute arose within the clan... If the straight road was established, the Great Qi's Tiger Guards could follow it straight into Shu. The Xu family, at the time, was a junior military officer in Shu and already a prominent family. So, the family split into two factions. One, led by the previous head of the family, defected to Great Qi, while the other remained in Shu."
Kong Hanan suddenly realized.
The one who stayed in Shu was Xu Tong...
"At the time, the King of Shu was blinded by greed. The King of Qi promised to give him several golden bulls made of pure gold. The bulls were so large that they were difficult to travel on the mountain road. So, despite all the dissuasion, the King of Shu agreed to build a straight road..."
This was the beginning of the destruction of the Shu Kingdom in this world. Even though Kong Hanan was a recluse, he certainly knew about it.
