"My little friend, why are you here at my house?" Jiang Wang asked directly as he led Du Youqian to the Duke's house.

Du Youqian hesitated for a moment, but sensing the cheerfulness and understanding of the hunchbacked old man, he simply told the truth, "I'm looking for someone to kill my whole family."

"Oh?" Jiang Wang stopped, with a strange look on his face, "Could it be my grandson who did something good? That kid... Since my son's death, he has been sneaky and extreme in these years, and he is planning secretly. What are you wearing?"

After a pause, he stamped his foot: "Hey, little friend, when I see you, you are handsome and handsome, and you have outstanding character, I originally wanted to be a matchmaker for my granddaughter who is waiting for marriage. It's a pity, it's a pity, if that's the case I hate you so much that I will never get married."

Du Youqian very carefully used his spiritual sense to sense the other person's emotions and thoughts, and found that the hunchbacked old man was really just feeling sorry, but he didn't have any evil thoughts at all.

Aren't you afraid of killing his grandson in revenge?
Du Youqian said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, when I come here, I must confront that person face to face. If the person who harmed my family is really your grandson, then I can only say sorry to you."

"Hey, little friend, what are you talking about? It's natural to pay back debts and kill people to pay for their lives. However, people all have the desire to live, and they will not sit back and wait for death. If you really want to kill my grandson, he belongs to my family. Du Miao, I can't let you kill me. Even if I know I'm defeated, I can only fight with you. Now let's not talk about this. Go back with me and have a good drink. It's rare to see a person like you in the world. , so charming and charming, it’s time to realize! My grandson should be back tonight, if there is any grudge, we’ll talk about it then.”

Just listening to this old man talk, you would think he is schizophrenic.

I'm here to kill your grandson, and you actually want to drink with me... And Du Youqian sensed that he didn't want to deceive him or poison him secretly, but he was really heroic. Before fighting, he made friends and had a drink. .

Before coming, Du Youqian didn't do much research, he just inquired a little bit.

It is said that the Duke of Ju was a local hero when he was young. Later, he somehow met a prince and became friends.

As luck would have it, the prince of Qi died of illness, and the prince he knew later succeeded to the throne.

After Jiang Wang reached middle age, he began to study seriously and assisted the prince in governing the country. He was upright and heroic, and had a good reputation in the officialdom.

Because Jian was in the emperor's heart, she was granted the title of Duke of Ju without making much contribution.

After becoming the Duke of the country, this man did not change his old ways. It is said that there were only three or two old servants in his family, and his life was simple and simple, not luxurious.

Most of the rooms in the huge Duke's Mansion were vacant. If someone from the Jianghu family was in trouble, whether he knew him or not, Jiang Wang wouldn't mind helping him out and letting others stay for a while.

That's roughly it.

But it is said that this old man with a hunchback dragged Du Youqian to the Duke of Ju's mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, he held up the fish basket and shouted happily, "Yun'er, come and see what I have gained today!"

An old woman with gray hair but still energetic, wearing a simple cotton coat, came out with a bright smile, "Old man, you didn't buy the fish with money, did you? I've never seen you catch so many fish before."

The hunchbacked old man immediately glared: "Nonsense, when did I spend money to buy fish? How can I cheat on fishing? Don't say these things that ruin my reputation in front of the guests!"

The old woman looked at Du Youqian and said with a smile: "This handsome young man, I wonder whose son he is? Has he ever been married?"

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, what's your surname, little friend?" The hunchbacked old man then remembered to ask Du Youqian's identity.

Du Youqian saluted the old woman: "I am the protector of the country of Wu, Baili Jianxin."

The old woman's expression immediately changed.

His eyes were full of vigilance.

It seems that she should know something.

But soon, the old woman smiled bitterly, invited Du Youqian to sit in the house, took the fish from his wife, and said, "You chat with this young man from Baili, and I will handle the fish. By the way, let's talk about seniority. Judging from his young age, he might still be your grandfather."

By the end of the sentence, the old woman laughed.

Du Youqian naturally sensed her mental state.

Optimistic, cheerful, currently a little sad and wary.

But there is no harm in mind.

It would be a joke if a dignified foundation-building monk could be harmed by a mortal. Du Youqian was not afraid and entered the living room with Jiang Wang.

An old man who looked a few years older than Jiang Wang came out shakily. Jiang Wang said loudly: "Old He, I have a guest. Please help us boil water and make a pot of tea."

"Oh, okay, okay." The old man didn't know whether he understood or not, and walked tremblingly to make tea again.

Jiang Wang asked Du Youqian to sit down and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you are already the Heavenly Protector of the Kingdom of Wu. What rank is this? I remember that my family has the title of First Class Count. Where is your title now?"

"I will also inherit it. The Heavenly Protector of the Country just sounds scary, but it's nothing. Old man, from what you and the old lady say, could it be that the Jiang family and the Baili family have the same ancestors?" Du Youqian looked around the room, He asked while scanning the entire Duke's Mansion with his spiritual consciousness.

In the entire Duke's mansion, there are currently only five people including him.

Jiang Wang, his wife, the old servant, and a middle-aged woman were helping Mrs. Jiang prepare fish in the kitchen.

The grandson and granddaughter Jiang Wang mentioned are not here.Jiang Wang laughed loudly: "That's right, our family is the bastard of our ancestor Baili Shang. For some unknown reason, he went to Qi to develop and changed his surname."

Du Youqian said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, your swordsmanship is very good. This is the sword manual left by the ancestor of Baili Shang."

Jiang Wang shook his head and said: "No, we have left behind the ancestral teachings that future generations, unless they are swordsman geniuses, are not allowed to practice swordsmanship. My swordsmanship has other adventures."

"why is that?"

"what?"

"Why are you not allowed to practice swordsmanship unless you are a swordsman genius?"

Jiang Wang looked at Du Youqian in surprise: "Didn't your adults tell you? Forget it, let me tell you. There is a legend, I don't know if it is true or not. It is said that the ancestor of Baili Shang once followed a real swordsman. An expert learned the sword. Later, the expert was dissatisfied with the old ancestor and felt that the old ancestor had not learned his true skill, so he drove the old ancestor away and said that the old ancestor Baili Shang was not worthy of using a sword. But he also retained I left a token, saying that if a descendant of the Baili family emerges as a true swordsman genius in the future, I can use this token to find him and renew our relationship."

Du Youqian asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you are considered a genius in swordsmanship. Why don't you go to the Baili family in Wu State to ask for the token and learn the skills from your ancestor's master?"

Jiang Wang shook his head and said: "Even if it really happened back then, Patriarch Baili Shang lived 300 years ago. How old must his master be? How could a person live that long?"

Du Youqian carefully sensed his emotions and found that he did not know much about the world of cultivation.

Maybe I have some contact with the Immortal Sect behind Qi State, but I definitely don’t know enough about it.

Suddenly, Jiang Wang was startled, "Yes, that token. You said that my grandson killed your whole family. Was it because of that token?"

Jiang Wang looked regretful and slapped his thigh hard: "I shouldn't have told him about these old millet and rotten sesame seeds!"

Seeing him like this, Du Youqian actually wanted to comfort him, "It may not be your grandson."

Jiang Wang looked remorseful, "After my son died, I took less care of this kid, which led to a big mistake."

Du Youqian was silent.

It is impossible to forgive, but it is impossible to blame too much for this old man.

It can be seen that this Jiang Wang has a bold and straightforward temperament. Such people are often informal and not thoughtful enough, and will fail in educating their children.

If you are lucky and your children look like you, that's fine.

If you are unlucky, there is absolutely nothing you can do to defeat the younger generation.

Jiang Wang took the initiative to change the topic, obviously not wanting to continue talking.

He and Du Youqian talked about the affairs of the world with great gusto, and the old man went crazy talking.

By the time his old wife and the middle-aged woman finished cooking the fish, it was already evening and Jiang Wang's grandchildren hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Wang didn't wait any longer and only invited Du Youqian to eat fish and drink.

The middle-aged woman was his daughter-in-law. She was cautious and even a little dull.

His wife is a thoughtful person, but she is old and lacks energy. Even if she is thoughtful, she is unable to do what she wants.

After they were full of wine and food, Jiang Wang asked his wife and daughter-in-law to rest.

After his daughter-in-law went out, his wife did not leave. She just looked at him blankly with a look of pleading in her eyes.

Jiang Wang asked: "Do you know anything?"

His wife shook her head and nodded again.

Jiang Wang sighed: "You know very well what kind of person I am."

His wife lowered her head and sobbed: "If something happens to Yu'er, I don't want to live anymore."

Jiang Wang smiled and said: "Yu'er did something wrong, and he has to pay the price. This is inevitable. Needless to say, if you don't want to leave, don't leave. Come and have two more drinks with me. Later, we will hit the road together. that is."

His wife thought for a while, sat back at the table, picked up his wine glass, filled it up, and drank it all.

Filled another glass and raised it to Du Youqian: "I have heard a little bit about what Yu'er did. If I had known about it earlier, I would have dissuaded him. Unfortunately... I can't let you put down your hatred. I'm just begging you as a grandma. , please, don’t let him suffer too much.”
