"Ask Princess Dzi Bead!"
In front of the small courtyard, Qiu Tianhai was immersed in the artistic conception brought by the poem, fascinated, and the past memories buried deep in his heart emerged one by one.
At this moment, an unexpected shout from Jiang Li suddenly rang in his ears. Qiu Tianhai was shocked. On the shore of the sparkling Hannan Lake, a beautiful figure slowly stood up from the shore and looked back gently.
In an instant, the sky and the earth turned pale, the sun and the moon lost their light, and the overwhelming beauty made the vast grassland stretching for tens of thousands of miles in Beimang become tender.
As soon as a name came out of his mouth, Qiu Tianhai's face changed instantly, and violent murderous aura burst out from his thin and short body. Within a radius of ten meters, the temperature dropped instantly and water dripped into ice.
"Master Li!"
Qiu Tianhai shouted, his cloudy eyes and two sharp gazes shot towards Jiang Li like arrows, containing endless anger and murderous intent.
At this moment, the person standing in front of Jiang Li was not the dying and depressed Manager Qiu of the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion, but a decisive, brutal and bloodthirsty general.
"Princess Tianzhu, this is my mother's name in Beimang!"
Jiang Li's expression remained unchanged, his eyes as calm as water, receiving the sharp light from Qiu Tianhai.
Two completely different eyes collided in the air.
"Hahaha……"
After a few breaths, Qiu Tianhai was startled for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and the terrifying murderous aura that pressed on Jiang Li also disappeared in an instant.
"Master Li hides his secrets and hides his sharp edge. This old slave has been deceived by him for so many years!"
"Among the many heirs of the Marquis, Master Li's forbearance is the most similar to that of Chengfu and the Marquis when they were young. It would be a pity if..."
"Qiu Tianhai, thank you very much, Master, for your poem!"
Qiu Tianhai hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a bitter smile, turned around and left.
"Am I most similar to Jiang Shirong? No, I am definitely not him. I will never be as ruthless as he is to his mother!"
Jiang Li watched the old man leave, his eyes becoming more and more determined.
"Sir, why did Mr. Qiu give so many taels of silver and clothes? These things are worth at least a thousand taels of silver!"
Jiang Li walked into the small courtyard and Chuchu called him happily. Looking at the four large wooden boxes placed in the middle of the small courtyard, he was a little at a loss.
Over the years, the two of them had been accustomed to living a hard life, but suddenly they had all this money and clothes, and they didn't know what to do with them on the first day of the new year.
She has no idea about property worth more than a hundred taels.
"These items have been owed to us by the accountant for more than ten years, and now we can make up for it all at once!"
Jiang Li took Chuchu's little hand and said with a smile: "Young Master has some good news, do you want to hear it?"
"What good news?" Chuchu opened her eyes wide.
"We will be able to leave here soon, and from now on, we can freely enter and exit the Marquis' Mansion, and no one will restrict our freedom anymore!"
Jiang Li said warmly, the little girl suffered a lot following him, Jiang Li couldn't bear to let Chuchu know about him falling into a lowly position.
"Sir, can we really leave here?"
Chu Chu almost couldn't believe it. She raised her head and carefully looked at Jiang Li's expression to see if it was fake. Then she cheered with tears in her eyes. For the first time, she felt pure joy on her pure and pretty face. smile.
Over the years, she and Jiang Li have been trapped in the bottomless Hou Mansion together. They have been discriminated against and bullied by others, and they have to be careful at all times. What they look forward to most is to leave the Hou Mansion with the young master, so that he will not be wronged again.
Now the wish finally comes true.
"Chuchu, you move all these items into the room, and I will take you out to play!"
Jiang Li pinched Chuchu's little nose.
"Well, I'll go right away!"
Chuchu suddenly smiled, and her skirt fluttered like a little swallow, and she became busy.
Jiang Li sat on a low stool under the eaves, closed his eyes and meditated.
"Manager Qiu calls his mother Princess Tianzhu. Is she from the Beimang royal family?"
"If this is the case, it would make sense for Jiang Shirong to be indifferent to me and my mother!"
"But Beimang and the Great Zhou Dynasty have been enemies for generations, and they are incompatible with each other. As a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could Jiang Shirong bring the Beimang royal family back to Shengjing? How could Emperor Jing and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agree? The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section The memorial for the matter has already been handed to Emperor Jing like snowflakes!"
Jiang Li slowly tapped his knees with his fingers, recalling the historical records of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had read.
Seventeen years ago, the young Emperor Jing, who had inherited the throne for fourteen years, was full of blood and high-spirited. In order to wash away the shame of the late emperor and recover the lost seventeenth palace of Yunjing, Emperor Jing ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and resolutely launched a personal expedition. A great war was fought that would affect the world.
The 600,000 Zhou Erlang said goodbye to their parents, carried bows and guns on their backs, rode their horses northward, and entered the hinterland of Beimang.
Beimang was ruled by grassland men. Although the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were brave and fearless, they were soon scattered across the boundless grassland by the elusive Mang cavalry who came and went like the wind.
Emperor Jing led his 200,000 elite Zhou troops to go deep into the area and were eventually trapped in the Tianjian Gorge. The Battle of Jigu Temple that shocked the world broke out.
Not even one of the 200,000 Zhou elites was left alive, and that battle was like a millstone of flesh and blood.
According to historical records, at the critical moment, Jiang Shirong, who was still a fifth-grade guerrilla general at the time, led three thousand cavalry to rush thousands of miles into the Tianjian Gorge. He not only saved Emperor Jing from danger, but also killed Tuoba Xiongzai, the God of War in Beimang. Become famous in the war and completely turn the tide of the war.
Jiang Li used to study, and every time he read this, he couldn't help but sigh at the brutality of that battle.
But now when I think about my mother's identity, I have new doubts.
There were 400,000 Beimang cavalry who besieged Tianjian Gorge. The 3,000 cavalry led by Jiang Shirong could not play a decisive role in the entire battle.
Beimang God of War Tuoba Xiongzai has mastered both martial arts and Taoism, his physical body has become a saint, and he has also practiced Taoism to the state of seizing the body. Compared with Jiang Shirong who was only at the peak of his divine transformation seventeen years ago and has not yet entered the realm of martial saint, he is only stronger but not weaker, so what? Will be beheaded in Jigu Temple.
Unfortunately, the records of this battle in history books are very vague, with only a few words.
Soon after, Jiang Shirong returned to Shengjing with Emperor Jing.
"If my guess is correct, my mother came to Shengjing with Jiang Shirong at that time. Before and after the Battle of Tianjian Gorge, what happened to Jiang Shirong, how did he meet his mother, and why did Emperor Jing allow a Beimang woman to come with him? Follow the saint back to Beijing!"
"Is my mother really from the Beimang royal family?"
Jiang Limei's heart was filled with countless questions, but she had nowhere to ask.
"Sir, let's get out of the house!"
Chu Chu didn't know when she stood in front of him. The girl was slim and graceful, with a green skirt swaying in the wind, looking pretty and lovely.
Seeing Jiang Li looking at him, Chuchu revealed two shallow dimples, and said a little shyly: "I saw some new clothes in the wooden box that were delivered. I liked them very much. I put them on without your permission. You will not blame me." Bar!"
"Chuchu, although you are my maid, you are also the master of this small courtyard. You can make your own decisions about all the money and property. You don't have to report everything to me!"
Jiang Li stood up, took out a leather jacket made of heavy snow deer skin from the wooden box sent by Qiu Tianhai, put it on Chu Chu's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Wear this heavy snow deer jacket first, and let it go later." The clothing shop has been renovated into a smaller one, so be careful of catching a cold in the cold weather in Shengjing!"
"This is made from the skin of the snow deer that the Marquis shot while hunting with the Holy Lord. Every young master and young lady in the house has one. I am just the young master's maid, and I am not worthy of wearing such a luxurious leather coat!" Chu Chu shook her head quickly, a little scared. disturbed.
"Nothing is as important as my Chuchu!"
Jiang Li pinched Chuchu's little face and said with a smile: "Young master will take you to visit the Shengjing Imperial City, the best in the world!"
