Chapter 42 Extreme King
Jiyun country is a country that values culture over martial arts. The status of students is far above that of warriors. Those who can speak are better than those who can fight. Those who are knowledgeable will always have a higher status than those who have cultivation.
Although he is lame in one leg, Lao He is a true Qi practitioner. Even Lao He's skills are difficult to be reused. Yunji knows that this behemoth Jiyun Kingdom is already in a precarious era, and he doesn't know when it will explode.
collapse.
If we look at the root cause, it is nothing more than the ignorance of the royal family and the corruption of the wealthy families.
"It's a pity." Yunji shook his head and said, "It's a pity that a strong soldier in the army was lost, and it's a pity that a good skill was lost."
"It's no pity if the emperor refuses to show his favor. An old man like me, who is neither human nor ghost, is afraid of dirtying the eyes of the nobles." Lao He said.
"If you judge people by their appearance, those royal families are basically hopeless." Yun Jida said.
"Appearance is the most important thing in the Jiyun royal family. Those who are physically disabled are not allowed to use it. No matter how high their cultivation level is, they will be regarded as inferior." The camel bell rang, and Granny Yu's camel came over.
"What a strange rule. When the day comes when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, does the leader of the country have to ask the enemy to leave him a whole body? Don't miss a piece of flesh, otherwise he will become an inferior person in the underworld."
Yunji smiled.
Lao He also laughed on the side, but his smile was bitter.
"Why did the king go to the underworld? He is still waiting to ascend to heaven." Granny Yu sneered.
"Is your cultivation very high?" Yun Jida said.
"I have no cultivation, but I have constant elixirs. I don't know if I will ascend to heaven at this time." Granny Yu said.
"Even if it's a true elixir, it's still poison if a mortal body takes too much of it." Lao He sighed.
"Where did you get the elixir?" Yunji became even more curious.
"Grandmaster Jiyun is a master of alchemy. After he was granted the title of Imperial Master many years ago, he has been refining elixirs for the king. He said that the elixir can ascend to heaven, but everyone knows that the elixir is completely fake. Otherwise, who would practice hard in the world of cultivation?
Realm, struggling to pursue immortality? Just spend a lot of money to buy some elixirs." Granny Yu said bitterly: "But the Lord of the country is convinced that he has become a demon in order to seek immortality. The family is not home, the country is not country, and the great country is watching.
Lost."
From the mouths of Granny Yu and Lao He, Yunji learned about the current situation of Jiyun Kingdom.
Jiyun Kingdom is actually not small, with a huge territory, but its location is not very good. It borders the Tianmang Grassland and the Fire Worship Kingdom to the north and south, the desert to the west, and the hundreds of thousands of mountains filled with monsters to the east. It can be said that it is surrounded by enemies.
, can only shrink to one place.
In the Jiyun Kingdom, the city lord's status is equivalent to that of the princes, each occupying one side and supporting their own troops, so the young city lord in Laohe's hometown can do whatever he wants and be lawless.
The once great country has long been in turmoil. The national policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs has made it appear prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is in a state of decay. Only a few generals are still guarding the borders and struggling to support it.
When talking about the king and the royal family, Granny Yu's tone was always cold, with a hint of resentment.
"Is my mother-in-law also a member of the military?" Yun Ji asked.
The old woman shook her head and said: "I am just a criminal. I just managed to escape with my life on the day my family was exterminated."
Talking about the past, the old woman smiled bitterly, and Lao He next to her sighed silently and quietly retreated.
Yunji didn't ask much. He knew that the tragedy of destroying a family was like a scar, and it hurt when it was opened.
The old woman was silent for a while, then recounted an experience in the roaring wind and sand.
Granny Yu is an old servant of the Yu family.
Using the skills of a Qi practitioner as a servant shows how powerful the Yu family is in the Jiyun Kingdom.
The Yu family was once the number one family in the Jiyun Kingdom. A hundred years ago, the head of the Yu family and the Yun family jointly established the Jiyun Kingdom. He was named the King of Side by Side and was responsible for the treasure house of the Jiyun Kingdom.
A country's treasure house collects all the rare treasures in the world, including spiritual stones and spiritual herbs.
Handing the treasure house over to the control of the Yu family was a sign of the trust that the first ruler of the Yun Dynasty had in the Yu family. He also issued an imperial edict to announce to the world that half of the treasures in the Ji Yun treasure house belonged to the Yu family.
The Yu family was in the limelight for a while, and gradually developed into the largest family in Jiyun Kingdom. Every king of the country would marry a daughter of the Yu family as his concubine, but the golden orchid that has been century-old will eventually wither. As time goes by, Yun
The imperial family and the Yu family gradually became estranged, and secret frictions continued.
However, due to the late emperor's decree, the Yunshi royal family had nothing to do with the Yu family. Who asked their ancestors to help the Yunshi build the country?
The reputation of Jiyun's No. 1 family ended eighteen years ago.
A major accident caused the Yu family to suffer serious crimes. The whole family was executed and almost no one was left alive.
The treasure house is empty!
The serious crime of embezzling a country's treasure house was equivalent to digging up the foundation of the Jiyun Kingdom's royal family. The king of the country was furious and ordered the entire family to be executed. Including the current head of the Yu family, a total of more than 700 people were killed. Only Granny Yu and a few others were killed.
A servant took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the Yu Mansion. He escaped with his life, but he also became a criminal and was wanted by the Jiyun Kingdom for the rest of his life. If he was caught, he would die.
"The Yu family can't be that stupid if they guard and steal." Yun Jida said.
"Although the qualifications of the children of the Yu family are getting worse and worse, they are not stupid enough to empty the treasure trove. Someone must have framed them. The people who harmed the Yu family should be the grassland Xiong clan."
Granny Yu continued: "The Cixiong people have been coveting the Jiyun Kingdom for many years, and they have always been eyeing it. They have secretly colluded with many city lords, and have long wanted to carve up Jiyun. As the largest spiritual family in the Jiyun Kingdom, the Yu family has always been the Cixiong people.
It’s a thorn in the eye. If this thorn is not removed, it will be difficult for them to eat the fat meat of Jiyun Kingdom.”
After hearing this, Yunji nodded and said: "So this is the reason why my mother-in-law is against the grassland people. But have you found out the whereabouts of the treasures in the treasure house?"
Granny Yu's eyes showed admiration and said: "My boss is smart. I have indeed been secretly investigating over the years and found some clues. The Tengshe Department has handled some things that belong to Jiyun's treasure house, but the mastermind should not be the Tengshe Department."
, Chiwu is not that capable yet, the person who framed the Yu family for stealing the treasure house must have been the larger tribe of Cixiong."
Facing the wind and sand, the old woman murmured to herself: "I hope that before I die, I can avenge the lady and find out the real culprit..."
"It was the royal family who ordered the extermination of the family. Doesn't my mother-in-law hate them?"
"What can I do if I hate them? They are stupid royal families. Our young lady should not have married into the royal family. On the day the family was destroyed, the young lady had just given birth to the young prince..." The old woman's face showed strong expectation and she said: "I hope God will bless you.
May the young prince, who was secretly carried out of Yu Mansion by two servants, still be alive."
The old woman was talking to herself about the tragedy that happened many years ago. Yunji had only heard it as a novelty until he heard that the two servants and the young prince were secretly carried out of the Yu Mansion in front of Miemen, and his heart moved.
"If that young prince is still alive, I'm afraid he will become a source of disaster." Yun Jida said.
"The root cause...yes, if the young prince is alive, I hope he will never come to Jiyun." The old woman sighed.
"What is the name of the lady from my mother-in-law's family? Is she the imperial concubine?"
"My young lady is the former Concubine Yu, her name is Yu Qingzhu."
"Being born a king, I think all the princes of Jiyun Kingdom must have titles. I don't know how many princes there are."
"Including the young prince of the Yu family, there are four princes in total. They are indeed born as princes, and each has his own title."
Grandma Yu took a deep breath and said: "With the hope of Yun Ni, the whole world is shining brightly. The eldest prince Yuntian is titled Heavenly King. Yunqi Longxiang is transformed into a Houwang. The second prince Yunhua is titled King Xiang. The clouds are light and the sky is high.
, the light wind and the moon, the third prince's cloud light, the title Ji King. The clouds and the ground are connected, which is extremely far away..."
When Granny Yu said this, she looked towards the sky at the end of the sand sea and said with nostalgia: "The fourth prince is also the young prince of our Yu family. He is titled King Ji and his name is Yun Ji."
"The root of the problem, King Ji..." Yunji was stunned for a long time. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
