I'm a bully in troubled times

Jiang Yu didn't bother to explain, seeing that Eunuch Liao had misunderstood, he just smiled, cupped his hands, and led by the palace staff to the post house where they stayed.

The ground in Quwo was very smooth, and the carriage was paved with bluestone slabs everywhere, so it was not bumpy when sitting on the carriage.When Jiang Yu first arrived, he was bumped by the carriage several times before he gradually got used to it. Neither the carriage nor the sedan chair were as comfortable as a high-tech car.

Seeing Qi Ranming keep lifting the curtain to see the scene outside the window, Jiang Yu asked with a smile, "Have you been here before?"

Qi Ranming nodded, thought about it, and said, "I've lived here for a few years."

Jiang Yu: "Didn't you say that it was difficult for you to leave the palace when you were young?"

Qi Ranming: "I was Quwo when I was ten years old."

Noticing that Qi Ranming seemed to be recalling some bad memories, and he was reluctant to bring them up, Jiang Yu wisely didn't ask any further questions, only thinking silently in his heart.

Qi Ranming is 21 years old now. He is ten years old, that is, he came to Quwo 11 years ago and lived in Quwo for several years.And Qi Ranming once said that he used to belong to Ji Zhong, that is to say, before he was ten years old, he lived in the Zhou royal family in Luoyi?

However, talking about 11 years ago, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered something. The original owner came to Quwo for the first time, also 11 years ago, when the original owner was 14 years old.Looking at the first time Qi Ranming saw him in the slums, he clearly recognized him. Could it be that the two met at that time?

Jiang Yu touched his chin and hit a straight ball: "Have we met before?"

Qi Ranming paused for a moment, and finally looked away from the endless stream of passers-by outside the window, looking at Jiang Yu, without a trace of flaw in his tone: "Oh? When?"

Jiang Yu tentatively said, "It was here 11 years ago."

From Jiang Yu's eyes, Qi Ranming saw that the person in front of him didn't actually think of anything, but just speculated, somehow felt a little funny, and didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or someone else, shook his head, lowered his face and smiled silently.

"Well," Qi Ranming admitted, "We met 11 years ago, and it's here."

But only he remembers it.But what kind of person Sui Yang Jun is, if he can't remember it... he can't remember.

Jiang Yu: "Since you have lived here for several years, you must be very familiar with this place?"

Qi Ranming shook his head: "I'm not very familiar, because at that time my freedom was limited, and I couldn't walk around the street at will, and people were watching when I went in and out."

"That's too tragic." Jiang Yu commented.

Qi Ranming smiled: "It's okay, it's not that miserable."

Jiang Yu secretly "tsk" twice, thinking what kind of life this child lived before, and he thought it was okay when he was watched every day. This person's life is complicated enough... From Luoyi to Quwo, and then to Rao county.

I heard that Ji Zhong's mother was originally a dancer, and she was not on the stage. Therefore, Ji Zhong was very unpopular when she was young. She was once squeezed out by the royal family and lived outside for many years.The specific situation has to be checked by Gongsun Ke again.

However, if Qi Ranming used to belong to him, why was he raped in Quwo?Can't figure it out.

Since this post house is the lodging place of Quwo foreign envoys, it is naturally not comparable to mere Pingling.Zhulou Cuige, flying eaves against the sky, rockery around the Qushui, there are water pavilions on the Qushui, willows are planted by the water, peach blossoms are everywhere on the rockery, it is really beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Of course, there are not only Yan people in the posthouse, but also envoys from other countries who came to celebrate their birthdays, such as Qin, Zheng, Song, etc. The envoys of Qi were called back halfway because of Jiang Zhi’s death. .The state of Chu has grown stronger in recent years, and has been at odds with the state of Jin, and no one has come.Zheng Guo, Song Guo, etc. are small countries, not worth mentioning.

After returning to the room, Jiang Yu ordered Gongsun Ke to investigate about Ji Zhong, including how he left the royal family and how he returned back then, focusing on the cronies who disappeared around Ji Zhong.Gongsun Ke took the order and went down.

Because Gongsun Ke was Jiang Yu's personal bodyguard, he was specially arranged next door to Jiang Yu, and Qi Ranming felt aggrieved and shared a room with Gongsun Ke.

Just after moving in, envoys from other countries came to say hello to Jiang Yu. In his previous life, Jiang Yu didn't like to deal with these things, but now life is forcing him to do so, so he can only bite the bullet and put on a face. He is personable, long-sleeved and good at dancing. After all, he represents the face of Yan Guo.

The one closest to the Yan State is an envoy from the Qin State. This person's name is Liu Shou.Liu Shou is less than forty, and it is said that Prince Qin single-handedly promoted him.However, Qin State and Yan State, one is outside the Western Pass, and the other is in the northeast, and they are not at odds with each other. Apart from official greetings, the two did not communicate much.

On the contrary, Liu Shou lingered on Qi Ranming for several times, which made Jiang Yu very concerned.Qi Ranming played the role of the guard, never said a word, and turned a blind eye to Liu Shou's gaze, as if he didn't know Liu Shou at all.

After Gongsun Ke checked Ji Zhong, he told Jiang Yu: "Prince Zhong left the royal family when he was 15 years old because of the fighting among princes, but he took the blame and was disliked by King Zhou and wanted to punish him. Prince Zhong's mother is of low status, unable to protect him, so he just ran away without doing anything."

"He didn't take anyone with him when he left, but when he returned, he brought two personal guards with him. Both of them were very loyal to him and had strong martial arts skills. But last year, I don't know what happened, one of them The guard disappeared for no reason."

Jiang Yu said: "I can't find any more information about these two guards?"

Gongsun Ke shook his head: "This is all the crown prince's most important secret. Few people in the entire royal family have seen the true colors of these two guards, let alone who they are, so we can only find out here."

Jiang Yu rubbed his chin and said, "You said a guard disappeared for no reason a year ago?"

Gongsun Ke nodded: "It is rumored that this person is dead, but no one has seen the body."

Jiang Yu: "That's right, Qi Ranming came to Rao County a year ago. He said that he was from Ji Zhong before, so he should be the guard who disappeared for no reason... But I don't know what happened. He just left."

Jiang Yu remembered that Qi Ranming said that Ji Zhong would use any means to achieve his goals, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice those close to him, so he chose to leave.As for Qi Ranming's suspected hidden wound, maybe there is some connection between the two.

"Ji Zhong left the royal family at the age of 15?"

"Yes."

"But 15 years ago, Qi Ranming was only six years old, too young. He came to Quwo when he was ten years old, but Ji Zhong was no longer in the royal family at this time." Jiang Yu said to himself.

"Besides, when I saw Liu Shou today, I also looked at him a lot. This person is really complicated."

Gongsun Ke said: "My lord, didn't this person say that he has no malice towards you? I don't think he intends to be an enemy to you. If that's the case, don't worry about his identity."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "I always feel that he is very familiar...I must have seen him."
