Now after listening to the general history of Jian Dynasty, he was shocked and sighed in his heart. If Jian Feixian had not died, maybe the entire Central Region would be owned by Jian Dynasty, and everything would be different from now.
The dinner lasted for nearly an hour. After finishing the meal, the two of them were in ups and downs and could not calm down for a long time.
Looking at the flickering fire in front of him, Lu Yunyou gradually fell into memories. Half a month ago at the inn, he heard Zhang Yuan and Fang Ting tell a story, a story about Hong Ying. He still clearly remembered that story. The whole story.
Ten years ago, Hong Ying was already well-known in Chiyun City, but his fame was not due to the escort business, because at that time he was just the leader of a small escort agency with only a dozen people under his command.
At that time, there were often homeless refugees who had been harmed by ferocious beasts near Chiyun City. Among those refugees, the most miserable were the children without mothers and fathers. Hong Ying could not bear to see those children begging everywhere, so he went to the city to A special residence was built here to take in those poor young children.
Later, more and more refugees were taken in, and daily expenses continued to increase. Soon, Hong Ying's family property was exhausted. Although he usually took on some short-distance missions, the money he earned could not make ends meet, and he was spending more and more money. After more money was spent on sheltering refugees, Hong Ying could allocate less and less remuneration to the members of the escort agency. Later, many people left the escort agency one after another because they were dissatisfied with Hong Ying's good deeds.
As some members left, Hong Ying's missions were greatly reduced and the situation became more difficult. Of course, Hong Ying never blamed those who left.
Compared with Zhang Yuan and others, Hong Ying's family was actually very well off. Although his family had fallen into decline by his generation, his money could still provide for the refugees to live a normal life for a lifetime. However, he wanted to educate those young children. came out, so more money was spent on those adopted children.
From that time on, Hong Xing's philanthropic deeds were criticized by many people in the city. Many people said that he was thankless and had harmed himself in vain. However, he never paid attention to the opinions of outsiders and always persisted. Do what he feels is right.
Later, Hong Ying took in a total of more than 40 homeless children, and his daily expenses were too high to support him. Moreover, due to the decrease in the number of members of the escort agency, he could earn less and less money. During that time, he could It was said to be the most difficult period in his life. It was not until Wang Yao appeared that his situation improved.
Wang Yao is a native of Chiyun City. He was only thirteen years old when he became Hong Ying's apprentice. He has heard many stories about Hong Ying since he was a child, but not only did he not question Hong Ying's behavior, he also questioned Hong Ying. He admired Hong Ying very much. Later, he resolutely joined Hong Ying's escort agency against his family's orders, and supported Hong Ying's charity with the remaining escort members. Due to the appearance of Wang Yao, Hong Ying's situation gradually improved.
Wang Yaoben was one of the genius children of the Wang family in Chiyun City. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. When he was seven years old, he had already shown his talent for cultivation far beyond ordinary people. He quickly joined the ranks of genius children and was extremely famous in Chiyun City at that time. big.
The Wang family is one of the three major families in Chiyun City. Their status in Chiyun City is similar to that of the four major families in Wuyang City. However, in individual comparison, the Wang family is stronger than the original four major families in Wuyang City.
There have always been constant disputes between the four major families in Wuyang City, but in Chiyun City only the Wang family and the other Song family have had a long-standing grudge, and the incident happened precisely because of the conflict between the two families.
When Wang Yao was thirteen years old, he already had the strength of the fourth level of the martial arts realm. He was particularly outstanding among the disciples of the Wang family. If he continued to accept the family's training, his future would be unlimited in the future, and what would happen later would not happen. But Wang Yao Yao voluntarily gave up his promising future and was willing to serve Hong Ying.
At first, the Wang family did not agree with Wang Yao's approach. In the end, Wang Yao forced him to death, and the Wang family agreed to let Wang Yao become a member of the escort agency. Later, Wang Yao also used his position in the Wang family to provide Hong Ying with a lot of convenience.
With Wang Yao's help, Hong Ying's condition got better and better, and new people joined the escort agency. It didn't take long for everything to return to normal.
It's just that after Wang Yao joined the escort agency, he often had to face various pressures from the Wang family. After all, the Wang family paid a lot of money in training him. His insistent behavior angered many senior Wang family officials. The Wang family did not want to train him into a person. Famous escort head.
At first, the Wang family thought that he was just curious about the outside world, so they joined Hong Ying's escort agency despite their objections. After a while, Wang Yao would naturally go back when he had had enough fun and lost interest. But the Wang family did not expect that They have been waiting for three years.
Although the Wang family has a great cause, they cannot just spend their resources on a clan member who is dedicated to the outside world. Therefore, the Wang family later became more and more intolerant of Wang Yao's behavior.
Three years later, the young Wang Yao did not make much progress in his cultivation because he was distracted from helping Hong Ying. Three years later, he was still at the fourth level of the martial arts realm.
In the past three years, the Wang family has sent people to ask Wang Yao to go back many times. Wang Yao's parents and many senior Wang family officials came to Hong Ying and Wang Yao, but Wang Yao always insisted on his original plan. No matter who came to persuade him, he They all rejected their request to go back. For Wang Yao, who was only a teenager at the time, the pressure he faced was difficult to measure.
Due to stagnant cultivation, Wang Yao's insistence on his own actions not only angered the Wang family, but also caused dissatisfaction among many senior members of the clan. The Wang family decisively refused to provide any further help to Wang Yao.
A few months later, without the support of the Wang family, Hong Ying's situation worsened again and she had to take on more escort missions. It was during one of these missions that Wang Yao was pushed to the abyss of death.
At that time, I didn't know which force initiated the escort mission. Hong Ying found their person in charge. When discussing the remuneration, Hong Ying learned that the mission had been taken over by another escort agency, but the employer who issued the mission told him that it was because of the goods. Due to its importance, it needs to be escorted by Hong Ying and another team.
In Chiyun City, there are often situations where two escort agencies cooperate with each other and are responsible for the same task at the same time, so Hong Ying did not think there was anything wrong with the employer's request at the time. In addition, because the mission was more dangerous, before leaving, Hong Ying Ying specifically asked Wang Yao to stay, but Wang Yao insisted on going despite his objections.
The bad thing is that the reputation of another escort agency that Hong Ying worked with at that time was not very good in the city. There were rumors of embezzling the employer's goods. Hong Ying didn't know why his employer hired them, but he was too short of money and wanted to give it to him. Wang Yao relieved some pressure and finally accepted the mission. "
The mission was also very far and required traveling between several cities. For the sake of safety, Hong Ying and the leader of another escort agency decided to go directly east along Chiyun City and pass through the cities in the middle one by one. , until reaching the final destination.
Although frequently borrowing roads from other cities will increase the cost, it can at least reduce travel time and greatly improve safety. After discussion, both parties had no objection to this, and then the two teams chose an auspicious day and set off.
Passing through the two cities in a row went very smoothly, but something unexpected happened shortly after leaving the second city.
Not long after dinner that night, the worst thing finally happened. It turned out that there was a person specially sent by the Song family to monitor Wang Yao in Hong Ying's team. That night, the Song family put a lot of drunken food in Hong Ying's and their meals. Yuan San.
Even though Hong Ying often asked the people below to be careful in everything, they did not find any problems when they checked the food that night. By the time someone noticed that something was wrong, half of the people were exhausted. Among the remaining people, except Wang Yao, they had not eaten because they were feeling unwell. Apart from the food, everyone else, like Hong Ying, ate something, and only the Song family was unharmed.
When Hong Ying and the others realized that the situation was not good, the members of the other escort agency who were still eating put down their bowls and chopsticks and walked towards them one by one with weapons in their hands with unkind expressions.
At that time, the Song family member happened to be sitting next to Hong Ying and Wang Yao. Seeing that the time was right, he took off his disguise and stabbed Wang Yao in the back with his sword. The incident happened suddenly. When Hong Ying reacted, the man's The sword has taken away Wang Yao's life.
In shock, Hong Ying immediately drew his sword and attacked the gap between the Song family. Unfortunately, it was too late. Wang Yao was wounded in the heart and could not save himself.
Wang Yao's death completely angered Hong Ying. After killing the Song family member with one sword, Hong Ying led his men to fight. However, he was outnumbered. In the end, he could only escape from the siege of another escort agency with a few people who survived. Bring the news of Wang Yao's murder to the Wang family.
After learning the news that Wang Yao had been killed, the entire Wang family was in an uproar. The whole family was shocked by the incident and asked Hong Ying to give them an explanation. However, Hong Ying could only explain the situation at that time.
