After the wine was drunk and the dishes were finished, the past in Julu Lane began.
In the spring of three hundred and twenty-nine years ago, the imperial court broke through the fiefdom of Julu King, the last royal descendant of the previous dynasty - Julu City.
After the imperial court captured Julu City, they went around to hunt down the remnants of the previous dynasty. In order to win military glory, some generals killed civilians indiscriminately to make up for the loss. Many innocent people were killed for nothing, which was unspeakable misery.
There was a wealthy family named Mu in Julu City. He was worried about being affected by the chaos, so he fled with hundreds of his relatives. Hundreds of people fled for more than two thousand miles, and finally settled in Ganshui Village, a remote town in Fanxi County.
There were originally only a thousand people in Ganshui Village, and people's livelihood was extremely difficult. After hundreds of people with the surname Mu arrived, they soon became the largest family in Qianshui Village. Later, Emperor Dahua issued a decree that all Duan and Mu surnames in the territory must be changed to his surname, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
As a last resort, people with the Mu surname had to change their surname to other people. Some changed their surname to An, and some changed their surname to Chen. Since then, people of both surnames have taken root here and thrived.
Since the Mu clan members have lived in Julu City for generations, the shadow of Julu City was naturally brought with them after they took root in Ganshui Village.
The alley where people surnamed An and Chen lived together was named Julu Alley.
I don't know who opened a wine shop, and the wine they sold had a strong aroma, so this wine was called Julu wine.
... ...
Today, more than three hundred and twenty years later, Ganshui Village has transformed into today's Ganshui City.
Today, more than three hundred and twenty years later, Julu wine has become the welcome wine of Ganshui City.
Today, more than three hundred and twenty years later, the surname An has become the most common surname in Qianshui City.
Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the Chen surname, which is also a branch of the Mu clan, has gradually withered away and become a marginal surname in Ganshui City.
After the noodle stall owner finished telling the story, he passed out drunkenly on the dining table and fell asleep.
What they just drank was Julu wine.
Mu surname?
Chen surname?
An's surname?
"That's it!" After hearing the origin, Yu Lingyi finally suddenly realized, "I think that when King Julu wrote to the ancestors of the Duanmu family, the Mu family had not yet changed their surname. Later, the hatred of the previous dynasty by the Dahua court was transferred to the Duan surname and Duanmu family. People with the surname Mu. The Mu tribe had no choice but to change their surnames to An and Chen. The current An and Chen tribesmen in Ganshui City are the descendants of the Mu family, that is, the descendants of the original Julu King and his subordinates. At this time The people with the surname Mu in the city moved in one after another over the next two or three hundred years..."
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out an envelope of things from his pocket, opened it carefully, and saw that the seal of the Julu King was used at the end of this ancient letter, which was: Julu King Duanmu Chengan.
"Pah!" Yu Lingyi slapped her thigh hard and shouted, "That's it! I can't make a mistake!"
An Wuyu, the world-famous master of Zhaixing Pavilion, is the descendant of Duanmu Chengan, King of the Giant Deer!
Anjia, the second martial arts family in Dahua, is a branch of the Duanmu clan of Jueguo. The Anjia people are most likely to have the blood of the royal family of Jueguo.
"Haha~~haha!" Yu Lingyi couldn't help laughing, "Waiter, let's get a jar of aged 'Julu Wine'!"
... ...
"Are you crazy?" An Ruqing scolded sternly. His expression was solemn, without any hint of joking, and he was obviously really angry.
Rather than being angry, he was more worried. He was worried that Xu Jinye would mess this up.
"How dare you tell such a big lie about this kind of thing! If Zhang Suiguang, Yi Qilin, and Yun Xiaomeng find out that you are using them for entertainment in the future, how can you get anything good to eat?" An Ruqing cursed in anger.
Xu Jinye smiled softly, but did not answer or refute.
Indeed, I was too hasty in this matter. Perhaps, this is the little cleverness that the uncle, second uncle and father often talk about.
In terms of qualifications, Xu Jinye is recognized by the Xu family as a martial arts wizard that has only been seen in a century.
In terms of martial arts, Xu Suye was only twenty-six years old, and he was almost on par with his second uncle Xu Xiaoshi. No one in the Xu family could rival him, and even the second-ranked Xu Suye was far inferior to him in martial arts.
For such an outstanding and proud man, his status in the family has always been inferior to that of his cousin Xu Xigong.
Speaking of the reason, there is only one reason: he is too smart. The ancients often said that cleverness can easily be misled by cleverness.
When he met Zhang Suiguang for the first time in Lingchengzhai today, Xu Jinye knew that there was no way he could persuade him to agree to hold a martial arts conference in Ruozhou, so he improvised and brought out several of his opponents.
The implication is simply, "Your opponents have all agreed, why don't you agree? What are you worried about? Are you timid before fighting?"
Zhang Suiguang has such a great reputation in the world, and everyone knows that he is competing for the leadership of the martial arts alliance, and he will never show weakness at this juncture. Xu Suye was sure that once Zhang Suiguang listened to his words, he would definitely agree no matter how reluctant he was.
However, there was a fatal flaw in this matter: what he told Zhang Suiguang was false, a deception, and a lie.
Once the incident occurs, the consequences will never be good for the Xu family and Xu Suye. This is a desperate step that may bring benefits but also great harm.
With Zhang Suiguang's acting style, he would send someone to verify the matter with Yi Qilin and Yun Xiaomeng. If he wanted to avoid being exposed, Xu Jinye must make Yi and Yun really agree to set the location of the alliance before then. Ruozhou.
How can this be done easily?
An Ruqing watched Xu Jinye sighing and shaking his head. Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down, he said, "Yi Qilin and Yun Xiaomeng left the city to the west this morning. They have been walking for four hours now." . In a moment, you can lead my horse and get out of the city quickly. If you don’t rest on the way, you may be able to catch up with them before dawn tomorrow. As for what to do after you catch up, I’m really at my wits’ end.”
As a Jianghu person who travels around all year round, horses are the most commonly used foot power.
The An family is wealthy, and the horses they raise are naturally good horses. An Ruqing's mount is a rare snow-predator horse with long legs and enough energy to travel 1,200 miles a day.
"Okay. I'll take care of the rest." Xu Jinye chuckled and replied. After saying that, he walked straight on, thinking that he was going to lead the horse.
He walked outside the door and passed An Bei.
After bowing to Xu Suye, An Bei walked quickly to An Ruqing's room, his steps very hasty.
"Second Master, news from Prince Yun's Mansion." Although An Ruqing frowned and was obviously in a bad mood, An Bei still stepped forward to report the news just sent by the pavilion master's brother.
Prince Yun's Mansion is currently the place that attracts the most attention in Zhaixing Pavilion. After hearing the new news, An Ruqing reluctantly cheered up and took the letter. As soon as he glanced at it, his face became ecstatic, and he laughed loudly: "This bastard Suye is so lucky!"
An Ruqing collected the letter and rushed to the stable in his house.
