The Miao King looked at him with dignity, his old eyes looking like he could see through fire: "Ao Rong, do you admit your guilt?"

Manager Cen hasn't heard this name for many years.

He was in a trance for a moment, and dusty memories came flooding back, impacting his mind and pressing on his spine.

"Ao Rong..."

He muttered to himself, struggling through waves of heart-wrenching memories.

I thought he would have forgotten about it after so many years, but I didn't expect that the past was still so unforgettable.

"So you...know it."

Many Miao people came to the Governor's Mansion, but no one ever recognized him. He thought that he would never be Ao Rong again in this life.

King Miao said coldly: "You are A Yuan's confidant. How can I let you stay with him without checking you thoroughly?"

He should have known the methods of the Miao King long ago and should not have had any hope.

Manager Cen knelt on the ground and did not say a word to defend himself.

In fact, from the moment he heard the name Ao Rong, he gave up struggling.

His judgment has finally come.

The Miao King said: "You stole the sacred medicine of Miaojiang and fled for fear of punishment. Your crime is even more serious. You deserve death, but considering that you have been loyal to Ayuan for many years, the death penalty can be spared."

"Thank you, King Miao, for not killing me." Manager Cen resigned himself to his fate by raising his left hand and slamming it towards his own arm.

King Miao waved his hand and used his inner strength to open his hand: "Your arm is useless to me, keep it for yourself. Just remember, your life was saved by A Yuan. If you dare to have second thoughts about him, I will not only kill you, but also dig your sister out of the grave and grind her bones to dust!"

Everyone has his or her own weak spot, and Ao Ling is Manager Cen’s weak spot.

Their parents died early, and the brother and sister depended on each other for survival. Later, the sister married and moved to the Central Plains, but unfortunately contracted the plague.

In order to save his sister, he risked his life to steal the holy medicine, but unfortunately he was one step too late, and his sister and her family all died of the plague.

Having lost his only relative, he lost the desire to live.

Just when he was about to die, he met little Lu Yuan, who was only seven years old.

Little Lu Yuan gave him a steamed bun and said, "It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. If you die, there will be no one to collect your body. Otherwise, give me the silver you have on you and I will collect your body for you."

He didn't know why, but he said, "What if you run away with the money? You look like a little beggar, and you can't be trusted at all."

Little Lu Yuan thought about it and nodded seriously: "You are right to be suspicious. Well, I will come to watch over you every day. When you die, the silver will be mine. Words are not enough, so I will write it down as proof. Just wait!"

The little fellow ran away, tearing off a piece of paper from someone's door and saying to him, "Bite your finger and write a letter in blood."

He laughed in anger: "You want my money, but you want me to bleed?"

Little Lu Yuan said confidently: "I am a child. What if I get sick and infected after being injured and I don't have the strength to collect your body? Anyway, you are going to die, so there is no need to worry about infection. Just write it!"

He was unable to refute it for a moment.

Unexpectedly, he tried several times but failed to bite his finger.

Little Lu Yuan snorted: "Look at you, you don't really want to die!"

"Little guy, what's your name?"

"My name is A-Yuan."

After that, Xiao Lu Yuan came to see him every day, but suddenly one day, Xiao Lu Yuan stopped coming.

He had new concerns in his heart and he didn't want to die anymore.

This separation lasted six years.

When I saw little Lu Yuan again, he had become the servant of the young master of the Xun family, and he had the surname Lu given to him by the Xun family.

The relationship between him and Lu Yuan was never a simple master-servant relationship. He lived for his sister for the first twenty years of his life, but was willing to die for Lu Yuan in the second half of his life.

"Ao Rong, as you command!"

-

After Manager Cen left, King Miao called two of his trusted aides.

There were only the two of them who followed King Miao into the capital. After King Miao was captured, it was they who went to inform Liu Qingyun.

King Miao said to one of them, "Ruan Qing, go and do something."

-

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

As soon as Liu Qingyun entered the room, he got very angry.

Nanny Wan, Madam Du and Nanny Hu looked at each other, not understanding who had offended their great ancestor!

Nanny Wan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let me know who it is and kill him!"

Liu Qingyun slammed the table: "He's still my father? He can't even recognize my son!"

thump!

Nanny Wan knelt down.

"You guys, come in!"

At Liu Qingyun's command, several people entered the house tremblingly.

Liu Qingyun put a portrait on the table and said, "Look, who is this?"

Several people came forward and looked left and right.

Aunt Hu: "This... looks a little familiar."

Nanny Wan: "Where have I seen those clothes before? Hey, does my son-in-law have a similar set of clothes?"

Madam Du said, "What? This is my son-in-law!"

Liu Qingyun asked in astonishment: "Is it really that hard to recognize?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

Portraits are different from real people, and they don't stare at their son-in-law's face all the time.

Madam Du said quietly, "But the more I look at them, the more they look alike."

Nanny Wan and Nanny Hu nodded repeatedly.

"What are you looking at?"

Meng Qianqian's voice appeared at the door.

Nanny Wan and the other two turned their heads at the same time and were about to greet her when they suddenly caught sight of a "farmer" next to her who looked like he had just plowed ten miles of land. They were all startled at the same time.

"Oh my god! Who is this?!"

Nanny Wan picked up a stool nearby.

Meng Qianqian looked bewildered: "Husband."

Even the servants who served Lu Yuan every day couldn't recognize him. It was understandable that her father, who had never seen her son, couldn't recognize him based on his memory of a portrait.

Liu Qingyun decided to forgive the old man this time.

-

However, after Xun Yu and Bai Yuwei missed the Miao King perfectly, they returned without stopping and kept looking for him, but there was no sign of the Miao King even when they reached the city gate.

Xun Yu then asked the guards guarding the city, and saw an old man entering the capital alone.

The guards shook their heads.

"Think about it again."

Xun Yu asked.

The leading guard said, "Prince Xun, not many people came to the capital this afternoon, and there really wasn't the old gentleman you mentioned."

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said to Bai Yuwei, "Could it be that King Miao knew someone in the capital and was picked up by someone else?"

Bai Yuwei said: "I haven't heard my grandfather mention it!"

Xun Yu comforted him, "How about this, let's go back home first, and I'll ask the Royal Guards to look for them later. There's no one in the capital that the Royal Guards can't find."

Bai Yuwei agreed.

As soon as the two arrived at Xun's house, King Miao's guards came to find them.

"Little Miss!"

The guard bowed to Bai Yuwei.

"Ruan Qing?" Bai Yuwei's eyes lit up, "Where is my grandfather?"

Ruan Qing said: "The Miao King is in the Governor's Office."

Xun Yu's face changed.

Bai Yuwei was also surprised: "Why did my grandfather go there?"

Ruan Qing told him about King Miao waiting for a carriage on the roadside.

Xun Yu regretted it deeply.

That old farmer...is actually the Miao King!

Xun Yu said: "Lu Yuan must have recognized the Miao King."

Ruan Qing shook his head: "The Miao King did not reveal his identity."

Xun Yu asked suspiciously, "Are you saying that Lu Yuan didn't know that the person he brought back was the Miao King?"

Ruan Qing said: "That's right."

Xun Yu secretly thought that as long as he could take the Miao King over before Lu Yuan knew the Miao King's true identity, it would not be too late.

Bai Yuwei couldn't wait to say, "I'll go find my grandfather!"

Xun Yu's eyes flickered, and he smiled gently: "It's getting late. Since the old Miao King has already gone to bed, why don't I accompany you to invite him tomorrow?"
