Douluo's full-time soul master

——Donghua Continent——Donghua Kingdom——Cuiying Forest——Maolin City——August 398, 8, Yongxin Calendar——

In the Cuiying Forest, which is more than a thousand miles away from Jinxiu City, the members of the Qingzhi family in Maolin City are immersed in great grief.

Although he was a son of a concubine, Yawu's mother was a nobleman after all, and his younger sisters of pure blood were still willing to accept him.Six years ago, his father's wife died of dystocia, so he took Yawu to Maolin City and raised him like a legitimate son.If he performs well and makes great contributions, Yawu may be granted the status of a legitimate son and have the right to inherit.

Three years ago, the 24-year-old eldest brother Qingzhi Yawen died in Linhai City, and Yawu became his father's only son, which made his father cherish Yawu even more.However, the father also died, but he was murdered.Xiao Yang, the father's eldest daughter, inherited the title and became the Duchess of Maolin City.

The whole town was in mourning clothes, expressing deep sorrow and sympathy for their Duchess Aoeda Xiaoyang and her dead father.Even though he hadn't lived with his father for too long, Yawu still felt that his father's death was unacceptable to him.In broad daylight, the majestic Duke of Maolin City and the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom would be murdered!What a terrible place the capital Bian'an should be.

As a man, he cannot cry like his sisters; as a knight, he has the responsibility to support the family.Yawu thought, if his father's death was just the beginning, then he would be happy to ride a horse with a gun to resist all enemies who want to harm the Qingzhi family.

The king still did not send anyone to return the body, but urged the newly appointed Duke of Maolin City to go to the capital to express his sincerity.Xiao Yang was unwilling to go, and she was worried that it was a trap, because her father's bodyguard sent a letter saying that the king had a big fight with him on the day his father was murdered.So... Xiao Yang suspected that the king was the mastermind?No, not likely.Yawu thinks Xiao Yang's idea is too crazy.If the king wanted to kill his father, wouldn't he want to push the country into the abyss of war?Even the most stupid king should understand that he cannot easily touch his trusted minister, not to mention that this minister has such great power in the country: first of all? He is the lord of the entire Cuiying Forest, and has twenty major princes under his jurisdiction. ;Secondly? His late wife was the daughter of the Duke of Yunduan City in Nangaoling; Furthermore, in the past few years when he was the Minister of Finance, he did little corvee and low taxes, and prospered with all kinds of waste, and was deeply loved by the lower class people...

Xiao Yang, Xiao Yan and Yawu have been in the temple for three days and three nights? During this period, they rarely spoke.Xiao Ya is still young? There is no need to let her be like this.The entire Maolin City is still immersed in grief and cannot be reversed... until the arrival of the "arrow-breaker" Qingzhi Yunlong, the Earl of Linhai City.

"Whether it's a trap or not, you have to go? Madam." Yunlong said to his eldest niece.

Yawu just stood aside silently, not expressing his opinions, which is the way a concubine should behave.

"Uncle? The king has started to attack us? This is obvious!" Xiao Yang was very anxious? Even with a hint of anger. "We have to get ready as soon as possible."

Earl Yunlong just shook his head. "Madam, your thinking is too complicated. If the king really wants to deal with my brother? Can't he just find an unfounded crime? Even if he has this intention? Does he dare to take this risk? 100 The great turmoil caused by the dispute between kings and ministers many years ago caused countless lives to suffer. Besides, if you don't confess your sincerity, you will just give truth to those who have ill intentions towards us. Isn't this more dangerous? "

"You're right? Uncle." Xiao Yang nodded and raised his eyes, "But what should we do? Should I go to Bian'an to express my sincerity? This matter will be over???"

"Of course we can't just let it go. This is about the honor and face of the Qingzhi family. You must find out the real culprit who killed your father and let the truth be known to the world. Otherwise? Only the gods know how our family members should deal with the royal family in the future. How embarrassing. This is also a way to clear the king's name. I bet you are not the only one who suspects that the king is behind this."

Yawu agrees with this.He grew up in a small town - his mother's brother refused to let her raise Yawu so that she could get married, so Yawu became an apprentice blacksmith when he was eight years old, and was brought to Maolin when he was 15 years old. city.

More than seven years of life in the city made Yawu realize how loose the people's tone is.The story of the King murdering the Chancellor of the Exchequer is sure to spread, and sometimes the more outrageous the story, the faster it spreads.

Before Xiao Yang could react, Earl Yunlong continued: "You'd better leave for Bian'an as soon as possible, and ask the king to let you stay there until the whole matter is clarified. Madame, you can't hesitate about this kind of thing."

"Then, uncle, if I have to go, I hope you can take care of Maolin City for me, and I will appoint you as the acting lord of Maolin City."

"I'm afraid it won't work. Ma'am, you don't know. In recent months, the people of Gongdao Island have been ready to move again. Linhai City must have me in command. Why don't you let Yawu manage Maolin City on your behalf? I think he understands the way of management. "

Xiao Yang smiled, "No, uncle, I know my brother-in-law very well. He is most proficient in knighthood. I will take him to Bian'an City to protect my safety."

indeed.Yawu thought.If I were to kill an enemy on the battlefield, I would be one against ten, at least in courage;

"Then you have to let Xiao Yan take over, but she may need counseling." Earl Yunlong said helplessly.

Xiao Yang gradually showed a little smile, "I think Dr. Ji'an can definitely assist her."

"Remember, you must be careful when you arrive in the capital, it is no different from a den of tigers and wolves, and there are potential enemies everywhere."

Xiao Yang was overjoyed, "Uncle, don't forget, our family crest is a saber-toothed tiger."

Uncle was also amused, "So when will you little tigress find yourself a companion?"

"Bring this up again, people have been mentioning this to me all day long."

Everyone present looked at each other and smiled, and finally shocked the gloomy atmosphere that had been shrouding Maolin City for the past few days.Yawu also agrees that the gods are so cruel that they put such a heavy burden on a weak 19-year-old girl.To be honest, Yawu seldom sees Xiao Yang's smile, even less than the defective products he accidentally typed when he was an apprentice blacksmith.At the same time, he was also very happy that Xiao Yang was going to take him to the capital to protect her.What a trust was put into this arrangement!Yawu swore secretly in his heart that he would never let anyone hurt Xiao Yang——before he died, this oath was guaranteed by his honor as a knight.

"Father's guards are still in Bian'an, so I don't need to bring too many people with me on this trip. Let's try our best to take the road, and we can almost start now." Xiao Yang got up, "Come here, uncle, go eat something Well, I guess you're hungry too."

Oh, Xiao Yang is so beautiful.Yawu noticed that Xiao Yang was at his best when he was relaxed.She has a head of lazy light green curly hair; in the deep sunken eye sockets, the pupils are huge and shining like wild green; the sharp and thin face makes people think that she was raised by her stepmother-in fact, it is the result of day and night hard work; The thin mouth sets off the sharp nose.Alas, such a beautiful and weak woman is going to a place like a snake's den.

When Xiao Yang and Earl Yunlong left the conference room, Yawu also followed.He looked towards the northwest sky, imagining the prosperous and dangerous capital Bian'an.That's where his father died and where he's going.

——Donghua Continent——Donghua Kingdom——Dawn Forest——Splendid City——August 398, 8, Yongxin Calendar——

When he saw this letter, Duke Tianjiao Xianggan had only one thought: this is troublesome.Xianggan thought to himself, Master Yunfei was murdered in the heavily guarded residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and before that he had a big fight with the king.Well, it's easy for individuals to connect the two.Xiangqian didn't believe that the king would do such a thing, and he didn't dare to think about how the Qingzhi family would feel.All in all, nothing good.

Xiangqian saw the end of the letter, only to realize that the purpose of the king's writing this letter was to urge him to go to the capital as soon as possible.Could it be that Prince Jienan can't wait to marry Xiyan?Or maybe there are other more important things that Xiang needs to do?What is certain is that the post of Minister of Finance vacated by Mr. Yunfei is none other than Xiangqian.He felt that the kingdom's financial power should have been controlled by someone else long ago, and it should not always be controlled by a group of misers who don't know how to adapt.But at the same time, he also understands that the suspicious Qingzhi family will also link Master Yunfei's death with the Tianjiao family.

In the afternoon, Xianggan came to the emerald garden full of fallen leaves.However, he knew that some leaves did not fall by themselves.Oh, my precious daughter is indeed here.Xianggan thought to himself: My daughter is studying "Dance of Steel" with a sword.

"Father—oh, my God." Xi Yan quickly hid the sword behind her back, her face flushed red.Today she was wearing leather armor. "Why did you come to the Emerald Garden?" She stood there like a child who made a mistake, not knowing what to do.

Xianggan couldn't help laughing. "My own place, I still can't come?"

The daughter slowly took the sword out from behind again. "How long have you... been here? Have you seen it? Please, don't take it away. I have really practiced well..."

Xianggan smiled knowingly.Alas, my silly girl.He thought to himself: You are too concentrated, don't you pay attention to the surrounding situation? "That's right, it's great. It's much better than half a year ago, and even better than ten days ago." Surprised?I'm afraid you never found me. "I'm not going to take your 'crackbone.' Oh, that's a good name."

"How...how did you know..." I couldn't tell whether it was a sigh or a whisper.

I know a lot. "Does your right shoulder still hurt?" Xiangqian saw Xiyan twist her right arm yesterday, but she went straight to the doctor for plaster without saying a word. "I think Dr. Junwen's new plaster is very effective."

When Xi Yan realized what this meant, she couldn't help it anymore. "You even know this! Dr. Junwen promised me not to tell it!" She turned her face away to hide the salty liquid and the surprised and ashamed expression.

Xianggan walked over and put his left hand on his daughter's right shoulder, but was gently pushed away.Xiyan turned her face back and looked at him with teary eyes.Xianggan sighed, "I watched you practice the sword yesterday. You should be my eldest son, and the gods made a huge joke on us." He took the sword from his daughter, "What a pity , you are an outstanding seedling." He didn't know what to say next, "But does this really prevent you from marrying Prince Jienan? Believe me, he won't—"

Xiyan walked around him.Xianggan gently took her right arm.

No, I have to find another way.Xianggan thought to himself, it can't be like the time in the hall five days ago, that time was just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were still two or three vassals who hadn't left.I scolded her like that in the hall, and she turned away.

"Why do you have to force me? I'm really not suitable for him!" The tears on Xi Yan's face poured down like a torrential rain.

Xiangqian couldn't think of anything good to say for the time being. "Son, our Tianjiao family has to intermarry with the royal family for two generations every four generations. This is a rule left by our ancestors!" He could only repeat these empty words clumsily.

"Rules, rules again!" Xi Yan cried even harder.

Alas, this is not in court, if she wants to cry, let her cry for a while.Xianggan thought.But what I said is so unpleasant?I will only make my daughter sad? "Son, the rules in this world are not set by me, nor by you. But if we don't abide by them, then the ceremony will collapse, and the music will also go bad. There are many things that you can't think of. Happened afterwards."

"We don't have a choice, do we?" Xiyan's red eye circles really hurt her heart.

What should I say next? "There is no choice but to have the courage to accept. How do you know that what the gods have arranged for you is definitely not as good as what you choose? Do you think that the person I dreamed of when I was young is your mother?" ?”

"I know not." Xiyan's crying turned into a soft sob. "But you—"

"But the two of us got along very well afterwards. Your mother is a beautiful, virtuous and good wife. The same is true for Prince Jienan. He is highly skilled in martial arts, considerate, and able to restrain himself. He possesses most of the virtues known to mankind. He Will be a good husband, and will be a good king."

"But he doesn't understand me, and he..." Xiyan didn't know whether to say this word, "He's very boring." His voice was as small as a child's.

Whose fault is this?Xianggan thought to himself. "The prince told me that he was eager to get to know you when he visited last time, but you rejected him with the word 'boring', which hurt him." Xiangqian paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, you don't feel that you Is the request too strange? What is the interesting thing you want? Is that young man from Qingri’s family?” Xiangqian finished in his heart: That young man is the most unsuitable for you.

"You also know...this." The daughter rubbed her eyes and looked directly at Xiang Qian.

She looked at me, fine.Xiangqian thought. "I've observed him. He's a little vain and a little... conceited. Tell me, is this the person you want to see?"

"Dad! How can you say that about someone!" Xi Yan almost cried out, then calmed down immediately, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

I have to be more careful, now is the time to walk on thin ice, so I will talk after I think about it. "Didn't you realize that he's not interested in you? As far as I know, he likes the kind of quiet, innocent, stupid girl who does his bidding. My dear daughter, are you?" He tried his best Speak slowly so she can listen and think.
