Someone from the Wei family
"Jiang Yin..." Jiang Jingyuan muttered silently and glanced at her without any emotion.
"Jumped out of a stone?" Jiang Jingyuan retracted his gaze, looked ahead, and asked lightly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yin puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction, then smiled crookedly and answered confidently, "It fell from a tree!"
Jiang Jingyuan said "hmm" calmly. It's a good thing to have some imagination at this age. You will become more realistic when you grow up.
Knowing at a glance that she didn't believe him, Jiang Yin pouted and said seriously, "I'm telling the truth. Otherwise, do you think I could have grown this big in just six months?!"
Jiang Yin straightened his back, curled his lips and said, "Outside the Yuan Kingdom, much farther away than Yu and Chen, there is a kingdom built on the edge of a sacred tree. The people there fell from the tree!"
"If two people pray sincerely for half a year, the sacred tree will bless them with offspring." Jiang Yin said with admiration.
So that's how it is... Jiang Jingyuan had no doubts, after all, the world is very big.
She just thought calmly: "Things that come too easily will not be cherished."
"No." Jiang Yin seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, or perhaps he had encountered the same doubt before. He patted himself with a firm vow, "Those six months of praying were to gather the two of us' hope and love for a child. So, even if we no longer love each other, seeing the child will instantly remind us of our past expectations and love."
Jiang Jingyuan casually asked, "How long?"
"Twenty years." Jiang Yin replied.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded and said, "I'll have someone take you to the capital. Stay put and don't run around. There will be a teacher there to teach you."
"Okay!" Jiang Yin nodded excitedly, his face full of curiosity and anticipation.
The withered, half-human-high weeds fell in the wind. Looking down from a high vantage point, it looked like a vast expanse of gray and yellow waves surging.
After sending the evil pink ball away, Jiang Jingyuan found an inn to change his clothes, then walked slowly on the official road outside the city, waiting for the five men to catch up with him, with a relaxed look on his face.
Xu Qinglin chuckled softly, "Did you capsize in the gutter?"
Jiang Jingyuan said slowly, "It just so happens that I need it."
Xu Qinglin sneered and was about to say, "Just keep talking tough," when he suddenly seemed to think of something. He stared blankly at the girl outside who was wearing a complicated dress with solemn and oppressive tones, and opened his mouth unconsciously.
She slowly closed her mouth with a smile on her lips.
How cruel...
It's so scary.
But that's the way it is. This world is designed to drive everyone crazy.
Crazy, yet sober and indifferent.
"Crazy woman..." Xu Qinglin fell into memories unconsciously, with a smile on her lips. She seemed to miss that crazy woman a little.
The wind blows in gusts.
Suddenly, the earth shook, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, dust flew, and the gentle wind suddenly became violent and turbid.
Jiang Jingyuan, who was taking a leisurely walk, paused and turned to look.
Amidst the clamor of the dust, a dark cloud was galloping past in the distance. In the cloud, black and red flags were flying. The largest one had two words on it: "Kunyou".
Jiang Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Kunyou? Isn't that the army led by General Wei?"
"The Wei family... Alas, they really rebelled..." On the official road, a few merchants passing by looked at the scene and sighed repeatedly.
They shook their heads, "Once General Wei died, these people couldn't sit still..."
"The Wei family did not rebel!!"
A hoarse voice suddenly screamed.
Several people were startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.
A figure covered in mud and blood crawled out from the weeds beside the official road. Her eyes were red and filled with resentment. She stared at them and gritted her teeth, "The Wei family has not rebelled!"
"Fuck!"
Several businessmen were caught off guard and frightened, their faces were shaking with fear. They were originally dissatisfied and wanted to fight back, but now they were pulling and tugging and retreating away from the figure.
The girl supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to stand up several times but failed. Her angry and painful eyes were fixed on them all the time. Her whole body was trembling, and she kept screaming and repeating "The Wei family has not rebelled."
“Where did this madman come from!!”
Several merchants hurriedly got on the carriages and drove the horses to pull the goods in the original direction.
The disheveled girl stood up with difficulty, tears streaming down her face, but could not wash away the blood and mud that had solidified on her face.
"The Wei family has not rebelled, the Wei family has not rebelled!"
With tears streaming down her face, she ran in the direction they were going.
"Bang!" She fell heavily on the official road covered with fine dust and gravel.
"The Wei family did not rebel, the Wei family did not... rebel..." She looked up and shouted at the convoy that was fleeing in panic in front of her.
The convoy ahead fled even faster.
She kept shouting, and her voice suddenly choked and she couldn't shout anymore. She fell to the ground with her head down, and her palms that had been digging into the sand and gravel were suddenly clenched by her five fingers.
First there was a soft sob, then there was a loud cry.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang—"
His clenched right fist slammed fiercely on the gray stone road again and again. Blood was dripping, but it only added a bit of former splendor to the old solidified blood and mud.
Why why why why—
She didn’t know what she was asking and why, nor did she know what kind of answer she wanted. She just wanted to ask why, many, many “whys”.
I wanted to curse the heavens and the earth with the most vicious words, but when I opened my mouth, I didn't know how to curse. I could only cry, cry in vain.
She cried, then her sobs became softer and she stopped crying... Her heart was numb, and she supported herself on the ground with her hands but did not stand up. Instead, she wanted to turn over and lie down on the ground, waiting for death to come to her.
Suddenly, the crisp and undisguised sound of footsteps, "Da, da, da..." came into my ears, and the hem of a dark purple dress embroidered with dark red patterns swayed slowly into my blurred vision.
The girl ignored him, her face numb.
"You said the Wei family didn't rebel?" A clear and cool voice sounded above his head.
"The Wei family did not rebel." The girl's eyes were dim and she spoke numbly and weakly.
It seems to have become instinct.
A soft laugh echoed from above, and the voice said slowly, "Whether the Wei family rebels or not... is not up to you to decide."
"The Wei family did not rebel!!"
As if suddenly stimulated, the dusty girl suddenly screamed and raised her head suddenly with anger and resentment.
"How pitiful."
She looked at the girl who was one or two years younger than her standing in front of her.
The girl turned her face to the side, lowered her head slightly and said "how pitiful" nonchalantly, but there was no pity or sympathy in her dark eyes that looked at her.
The calmness and stillness caused doubts to arise in the hearts of all those whose eyes met. Are they the ones seen by those eyes... human, or insect, bird or animal?
Or is there no difference?
What then of all the suffering I've endured, the blood and tears I've shed, and the resentment and resentment that barely keep me alive over the years of my life? Is it meaningless?
The pain and resentment on the face of the dusty girl disappeared in an instant, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe. Fear devoured her heart, and she stared blankly, even a little dully, at the girl in front of her.
Obviously, she is at the most lively and energetic age, but the girl is wearing a dull and depressing dark purple cloud-shoulder dress. The cloud-shoulder is covered with intricate and exquisite patterns. The dark red lines on the long skirt, which is gradually cut wide, look like blazing fire and surging waves.
It's eerie, cold and ferocious.
The long sleeves rustled in the wind, and were slightly rolled up, fluttering in the wind. In the exposed white right hand was a hideous ghost mask with dark colors and prominent patterns.
This dark and solemn dress that was not suitable for her age made her look like a large group of cold water ghosts. No matter how casual her posture was, every move she made seemed like she was dragging countless water ghosts...carrying the burden forward and struggling hard.
Even if you just look at it, you will unconsciously hold your breath until the feeling of suffocation comes over you, then you will suddenly wake up and look away.
"Why don't you wear a mask?" Xu Qinglin asked casually.
Jiang Jingyuan heard this, and a slightly puzzled voice responded in his mind: "Masks are only worn when doing bad things. I'm doing good things, why should I wear a mask?"
Xu Qinglin: "...being petty."
After a pause, Jiang Jingyuan suddenly realized something and said with genuine emotion, "Then you must be willing to work illegally for me forever, right?"
Xu Qinglin was stunned: "???"
Jiang Jingyuan continued to sigh, "What a good person..."
The calm expression on Xu Qinglin's face shattered in an instant. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the purple-clothed girl outside in disbelief, and subconsciously wanted to curse.
After a pause, she shut up and said cowardly, "No, I now think what you said before makes a lot of sense."
Jiang Jingyuan snorted coldly.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..." The heartbeat appeared and disappeared, and panic spread throughout the body.
The girl, clutching her hands full of dust and stones embedded in her flesh, clenched them into fists and lunged forward. Her face twisted in agony as she screamed, "The Wei family has not betrayed us! The Wei family has not betrayed us! No, no, no, no—!"
"Why why why why do you believe them! Why do you believe them!!"
"Why do you trust them? Why don't you trust the Wei family?!"
Jiang Jingyuan turned to the side lightly.
With a "bang", the girl covered in blood and mud fell to the place where Jiang Jingyuan had originally stood. She clenched her fists tightly and fell to the ground, crying softly.
"Why don't you trust the Wei family?" Jiang Jingyuan tilted his head and looked at her, "But where is the Wei family?"
The girl lying on the ground trembled violently.
"The court will soon issue a manifesto."
Jiang Jingyuan spoke calmly, "The Kunyou Army, supposed to serve as a barrier to the southwest, is now rampaging in the southwest, turning its blades against the Yuan Kingdom, and no one from the Wei family has come forward to explain all this. If nothing unexpected happens, the Wei family members in the capital will face execution if they can't serve as hostages."
“Yes!! Yes!! There is someone from the Wei family!!”
A sharp and shrill wail suddenly shook the sky.
Clouds gathered on the horizon, and the afternoon sky darkened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was gray and a light drizzle fell slantingly.
"Take me to the capital, take me to the capital—"
The girl, covered in blood and mud, raised her upper body, wailing loudly, reaching out to Jiang Jingyuan, "Don't you just want me to go to the capital?! I want to go to the capital! Take me to the capital!!"
"I am Wei Qihe from the Wei family!!"
Tears and rain meandered down her hideous and twisted face. When she looked at Jiang Jingyuan, there seemed to be a raging fire of resentment and unwillingness burning in her eyes.
"General Wei is my grandfather, my mother is General Wei's second daughter, and I am Wei Qihe of the Wei family!!"
"I am Wei Qihe from the Wei family!!!"
