Your sincerity is you
Jiang Jingyuan sneered when she heard this. She said that people like Jiang Yin and Yan Rugui were just too idle and bored to cause trouble.
Jiang Jingyuan paused, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and pretended to hesitate before saying, "It would be a loss for Yuan Country if the Imperial Master left..."
Yan Rugui looked at her expectantly.
"I also want to believe you, Master Imperial Master, but I'm afraid of being deceived." Suddenly, Jiang Jingyuan smiled and said, "So, Master Imperial Master, are you going to show some sincerity and prove it a little bit?"
Yan Rugui's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a vague sense of foreboding, "What sincerity?"
Jiang Jingyuan's smile suddenly turned cold as he stared at Lin Yanqing, who was not far away. "Lord Yan is suspected of being related to the New Generation Cult. Coincidentally, there's a member of the New Generation Cult here. Lord Yan must take this opportunity to prove that he has nothing to do with the New Generation Cult."
The smile on Lin Yanqing's face froze: "......?"
Yan Rugui: “???”
"After all, it is well known that the new generation of guys will bite anyone they see. We, the Jiang family of Yuan Kingdom, are not afraid of them, but we, the Jiang family of Yuan Kingdom, also have to consider the people of the entire Yuan Kingdom." Jiang Jingyuan added calmly.
The corner of Yan Rugui's mouth twitched.
"Why? Didn't Lord Yan say that he was a Jiang family member in life and a Jiang family ghost in death? Isn't Lord Yan loyal to the Jiang family of Yuan Kingdom? Why don't you consider Yuan Kingdom at all?!"
Jiang Jingyuan pointed at him.
"You still have the blood of the Jiang family of Yuan State in you..." At this point, Jiang Jingyuan looked at him with a deep contempt, "I didn't expect..."
——What a pretentious person! You used to pretend like that!
Yan Rugui's face suddenly turned ugly.
He frowned, raised his hand and pulled open the plush cloak covering his body, slowly stood up, stared at her and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness Changsheng, it's better not to talk about things whose details are unclear."
Oh, you're the one who started the trouble and got yourself angry first. Jiang Jingyuan looked at him, not dodging or avoiding him, but asked proactively:
"What's the detailed story?"
Yan Rugui's face darkened instantly, and he pursed his lips in silence for a moment. Then he suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yanqing who was not far away, and shouted in a heavy, muffled voice: "Prove it!"
Lin Yanqing: “???”
The smile on Lin Yanqing's face froze and slowly faded. He said, "Master Imperial Master, you are too unkind."
He saw that Yan Rugui's expression did not seem fake, so he paused, sighed, stood up, looked at Jiang Jingyuan and said:
"Your Highness Changsheng, how about I kill two people from the New Generation Cult to prove that I have nothing to do with them?"
Jiang Jingyuan: "???"
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
She said that this person is very good at eliminating the dross and retaining the essence... Jiang Jingyuan said silently in his heart, looking at him expressionlessly without answering.
Beside him, Yan Rugui pursed his lips and sulked as he took out a palm-sized puppet and crushed it. He raised his eyes again to look at Lin Yanqing in front of him and asked Jiang Jingyuan in a bad mood, "Do you still want to kill him?"
Lin Yanqing silently took a step back and said, "Your Highness Changsheng, as long as you give the order, I will be loyal to the Jiang family of Yuan State."
"It's true that snakes and rats belong together. They get together just because they have similar interests. There is no interest connection at all, but they can turn against each other in an instant..." Jiang Jingyuan thought lightly.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes nonchalantly and gave the order: "Kill."
A white shadow flashed by his side, and Yan Rugui suddenly raised his sword and slashed at Lin Yanqing in front of him.
Lin Yanqing's face changed, and he retreated and dodged repeatedly, asking Jiang Jingyuan rather unwillingly, "I am willing to serve His Highness Changsheng. Why is His Highness Changsheng willing to trust the Imperial Preceptor and not give me this chance? Is it just because of blood ties?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the momentum of the sword in Yan Rugui's hand suddenly increased to a terrifying level, and the force of the chopping became more and more violent.
Jiang Jingyuan watched coldly, heard it, but didn't pay any attention.
nonsense!
Doesn't she want Yan Rugui to kill him?
If the new generation had different ideologies from hers, it would have been fine, but the new generation's ideologies conflicted with hers! In such a direct and head-on conflict, even if there was a connection, she would have to kill him. And if there was no connection, how could she not kill him?
joke.
Did Lin Yanqing really mean to leave the New Generation if he said he was leaving? Who could guarantee he wouldn't just pretend to obey but actually disobey?
He dared to say it, but she didn't dare to believe it!
"What nonsense..." Jiang Jingyuan thought impatiently, "It's a bummer, and it's going to upset others just by saying it."
She didn't know what to do with this dying man.
Lin Yanqing caught a glimpse of her expression from the corner of his eye, his pupils trembling, and he shouted again in anger and unwillingness: "Changsheng..."
"Bang!"
The loud sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang in Lin Yanqing's ears, and the scene in his vision rolled. He was dazed for a moment, and then suddenly opened his mouth in horror.
Before he could even let out a scream, the face with wide-open eyes rolled all the way and quietly rested on the corner of the table.
"Bang!" Another sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, and the straight figure fell to the ground with a bang.
Blood flowed along with the sword light and splashed on the walls and the ground.
An extremely sharp blood mark ran through the wall and the ground, silently indicating that a sharp sword light had passed through this place!
“Clang!!”
The blood-stained silver-white sword was thrown heavily to the ground.
Yan Rugui turned around, looked at Jiang Jingyuan coldly, and said, "Your Highness Changsheng, are you satisfied with this sincerity?"
Aren't you the one who wants to hurt others and yourself? Why are you taking your anger out on me... Jiang Jingyuan was completely confused and thought that this person was really ridiculous.
"Hmm, hmm," Jiang Jingyuan replied calmly, "I believe the Imperial Master."
Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't you want to hear the whole story?" Yan Rugui's cold voice sounded behind him.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face became calm.
Actually, she wasn't that good... Well, now that the opportunity was in front of her, she was still a little curious.
Jiang Jingyuan turned around, glanced at the night scene outside the palace, and sighed in her heart. She had thought that she could finish everything early tonight and go back to have a good sleep.
"you say."
Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes calmly and said.
Yan Rugui turned around, bent down to pick up the book on the ground and put it on the table. He sat back in the recliner by the window, took a corner of the plush cloak and covered himself with it, and said gloomily:
"My father disappeared, my mother died, my aunt brought the three of us children along all the way, my brother jumped into a well, my aunt disappeared, and only my brother and I were left.
"They claimed to be relatives of my father's clan, and under the pretext of helping us, they sent us all the way to the capital, but ended up intimidating and persecuting us everywhere. When it was just my brother and I left, we still didn't know who they were..."
He didn't even think about his speech, he just opened his mouth and spoke a string of words without stopping, as if he had said the same words thousands of times before.
Jiang Jingyuan was caught off guard and was stunned. He quickly came to his senses and interrupted him, "Wait a minute!"
Yan Rugui really stopped talking and looked up at her with a cold expression, obviously still sulking.
"Isn't this what you're talking about..." Jiang Jingyuan walked to the chair and sat down in a daze. Thinking that he remembered correctly, he asked, "Isn't this the trick you used to scam people on the street back then?!"
Yan Rugui's expression suddenly twisted, and he said, "Are you never going to stop?"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Jingyuan agreed without blinking, then asked, "So, is what you said true or false?"
"Really." Yan Rugui pursed his lips and said expressionlessly, "My father is Prince Yi, my mother is not from Diqu City, and my aunt is..." He paused and looked at Jiang Jingyuan with some suspicion, "She is Xu Xianlin from Beigui Shuangque."
Jiang Jingyuan opened his mouth slightly in surprise, uttering an almost silent "Ah," then nodded and asked curiously, "Will Xu Xianlin still send you to Diqu City?"
Jiang Jingyuan thought back to Xu Xianlin and wondered, "Could it be that Xu Xianlin is a cold-faced person with a warm heart?" Then she thought of the time when Xu Xianlin pushed Xu Qinglin to stop her, and thought, "Maybe he really is a cold-faced person with a warm heart."
Upon hearing this, Yan Rugui put away his suspicious eyes and said calmly:
"I'm not her, so how would I know what she's thinking? Maybe she just wanted to send a few people who happened to be related to the Jiang family of Yuan State to Diqu City?"
——After all, unless they are confused or too incompetent to ask for help from others, they have an ironclad grudge against the Jiang family of Yuan State.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded slowly.
Yan Rugui retracted his gaze and continued:
“Although it was Xu Xianlin who sent us to Diqu City, she actually appeared two days after my mother died, showed the three of us a clear path, and then disappeared.
"Our journey was difficult at first, but it was relatively smooth. As we gradually approached Diqu City, the Jiang family of Yuan State discovered us. Prince Yi became angry, and some people who curry favor with him came looking for us.
"They kept us going, annoyed Prince Yi, and then slowly made things difficult for us as we approached Diqu City, right under Prince Yi's nose—for their amusement. They mocked Prince Yi's stubbornness about saving face, and tried to please him."
He paused, then said calmly:
"Then, one morning, the elder brother was found dead in a well. Later, the younger brother became seriously ill... When he was begging on the street, he was beaten, smashed, and cursed by people who were not sure if they were his own.
"That night my brother was kidnapped. I chased after him, only to see a spilled pot of broth and a dog gathered nearby. People were laughing in the distance. When they saw me coming, they laughed at me for being stupid, saying that this way I wouldn't have any tricks to cheat people. Then they surrounded me, beat me, and scolded me, telling me not to beg on the street anymore, saying I didn't know the rules and didn't know what was good for me."
Jiang Jingyuan slowly leaned back in his chair and listened.
Yan Rugui turned to look at her, "Afterwards, Prince Yi died. In his grief, Emperor Wu remembered me and had me taken away."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you need me to dig up Prince Yi's body for you?"
Yan Rugui rolled her eyes at her and said, "You can think of it, but I haven't thought of it yet?" After a pause, she said calmly, "That's the mounting stone you saw when you came in from outside."
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
Jiang Jingyuan paused, "But it's true that Prince Yi died while searching for immortals at sea, so he was placed in the mausoleum..."
"Really." Yan Rugui said, "It was suppressed in the mausoleum. I dismantled it several times but found it boring, so I burned it to ashes."
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
