Mo Fei did not answer her question, but continued, "More than twenty years ago, the Langge Kingdom, in alliance with the Southern Frontier Kingdom, launched an attack on Kuncheng. My parents lived in a village east of Kuncheng and were getting married to my mother. On the day of the wedding, the Southern Frontier Kingdom attacked, and the Langge Kingdom passed through Kuncheng by water. Many people in the village were captured and taken to the Langge Kingdom."
"Not only my parents' village, but also many people from surrounding villages were captured and taken to Langge Kingdom as slaves. In the end, the Duke of Zhenguo brought reinforcements and joined forces with the Peng family to defeat Langge Kingdom and Nanjiang Kingdom. General Peng proposed to Langge Kingdom to exchange the people of Kunzhou for their homes, but Langge Kingdom refused."
"Both sides suffered losses in this battle and could not afford to continue. However, General Peng led three thousand cavalry to rescue us. General Peng said that the Emperor could not bear to see his people suffer in a foreign country, so he had to bring them back no matter what. The three thousand cavalrymen led by General Peng were the vanguard, and there were reinforcements coming from other places behind them."
Mo Fei stopped there.
Gu Xin thought that more than 20 years ago, it must have been during the reign of the late emperor. It is said that the late emperor was a benevolent monarch who did not advocate war because he did not want to see the people suffer.
It turns out that there were still many villagers in Kunzhou more than 20 years ago! When they came to Kunzhou a couple of years ago, apart from Kuncheng, there were only a handful of villages where people gathered. It seems that this was because of the war more than 20 years ago.
Seeing that Mo Fei had stopped for a long time, Gu Xin asked in bewilderment, "Continue! Did General Peng succeed in the end?"
Mo Fei rolled his eyes at her: "If I had known, I would have been born in Kunzhou instead of the desert!"
Gu Xin: "!"
“My family has been hunters since my great-grandfather’s generation, making a living by hunting. My father learned excellent skills from a young age and planned to join the army after marrying my mother. Who knew that such a thing would happen on our wedding day.” Mo Fei paused, glancing at the table.
Gu Xinfu immediately poured him a bowl of water.
Mo Fei was sitting on the thatched floor in the corner, his hands and feet shackled.
Mo Fei glanced at Gu Xin in surprise. She's so perceptive!
After finishing his water, Mo Fei continued, "Back then, we were captured and taken to Langge Kingdom. My parents didn't know what happened; people were just being taken away in batches. Later, my maternal grandparents were also taken away, and that was the end of it. When my parents heard that my maternal grandparents had been killed by the people of Langge Kingdom, my mother fainted from fright."
“My father found an opportunity to escape with my mother. My maternal grandparents were indeed killed. My mother was furious. She was their only daughter, so she secretly went to the palace to kill King Lang. However, she failed to kill King Lang but killed his queen and son instead. Then my parents were hunted down and fled all the way to the desert.”
"More than twenty years have passed, and it is said that the Kingdom of Lang still has a kill order against my parents, so my parents have never had the opportunity to return to the Great Zhou through the Kingdom of Lang."
"So, my parents don't know what happened after that. They don't know if the villagers were rescued by General Peng, or if any of them remained in Langge Kingdom."
Gu Xin blinked in surprise: "May I ask, Chief Mo, what did your mother do before she got married?"
Mo Fei: "My maternal grandparents were both butchers!"
Gu Xin suddenly realized why they were so powerful. One was a hunter, the other a butcher. They could kill people in the Lange Palace and become a leader in the desert!
