Chapter 551 Common Enemy

The night was solemn, Rong Yi leaned against the door frame and looked at the dark sky and dots of stars outside.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

I said I would come back for dinner, but as of now, I haven't come back yet.

After Rong Yi ate alone, she ordered someone to clear the table, and then she stayed quietly at the door waiting for him to come back.

I don’t know how long it took before I saw his figure. Rong Yi paused for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. However, I saw that his face was deep, as if he had a lot of things in his heart. Rong Yi suppressed the desire to ask questions and only stayed with him. When he entered the house and learned that he had not eaten yet, he asked Yu Heng to go to the kitchen and evacuate the servants in the room.

There were only two people left in the room at this moment. Rong Yi sat next to him, looking at his silent expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Shunxiao looked at Rong Yi and was silent for a long time. Finally he said: "I know the identity of the Seventh Young Master."

Rong Yi blinked and said subconsciously: "Does he have another identity?"

Jiang Shunxiao was silent and nodded.

After receiving the affirmation, Rong Yi frowned, and suddenly remembered the conversation between the two of them at that time, and a terrible thought gradually appeared in her heart. Her pupils trembled slightly, and she said uncertainly: "Could he be his ex who is engaged to Miss Mingyue?" The prince of Qi... right?"

The reason Rong Yi guessed this was because apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason. The Seventh Young Master would capture Mingyue alive and create the illusion of her death. If it was just to defeat Lin Zhun, he would just kill Mingyue directly. , why bother?
If it is for the old ministers of the former Qi State, it makes no sense. The An family has been wiped out. No matter how strong the An family was in the past, the past is the past. If he wants to contact the old ministers, he does not have to take Mingyue away. After all, this It was another new dynasty, and everyone had ambitions. Otherwise, those old ministers would not always make things difficult for Emperor Meng.

There is only one possibility, that is, he has a relationship with Miss Mingyue and has a strong desire for her and wants her by his side. This possibility is... he is the one who was engaged to Miss Mingyue back then. The prince just happened to escape from the city and go to a war-prone place to make a living again.

And he is very smart and bold.

The country was ruined and the family was ruined. He, the once glorious prince, was now like a lost dog. Continuing to stay in the territory of Meng could not guarantee his safety. Only the border between the two countries, where there was no chaos, was the best place for him. The station is also the place where it is easiest to survive and try again.

When Jiang Shunxiao nodded and acknowledged Rong Yi's statement, Rong Yi's eyes widened, feeling shocked and frightened.

She said: "If it's really him, wouldn't it be a troublesome matter?"

"He was able to escape under the heavy siege of the Meng army. It must not have been by his own efforts. Someone must have helped him to escape. For so many years, he has been stationed in that mixed place. It is not easy to survive. Behind him, There should be a huge team to allow him to make a comeback over the years and become a figure that cannot be ignored."

After saying that, Rong Yi looked at Jiang Shunxiao with a solemn expression, and he stared at Rong Yi intently and nodded slowly: "You are right. This time he dared to come to the capital in person, so he must have made complete preparations. "Originally, this mission was related to him. We wanted to capture him alive, but after finding out his identity, we didn't dare to act rashly." Rong Yi thought for a while and asked, "It's because...he and the Chitan Kingdom Does it matter?"

Jiang Shunxiao was a little surprised that she could think of this. He looked at her approvingly and said, "Well, our relationship with the Chitan Kingdom has always been bad and cannot be eased. He has been at the border of the Chitan Kingdom these years, working for Chitan. The country's underground business must be involved there, so it's not difficult to exclude him, but if the conflict between the two countries increases because of him as the trigger, then the gains outweigh the losses."

"Does Chitan Kingdom not know his identity?"

"Whether you know it or not, in short, they are our enemies. Even if you know that he is the former prince of Qi, it may be more beneficial to their conspiracy and tie them tightly together. You want You know, the Meng family's power was wrested from the Qi family, and since the Meng family took over this power, the relationship with the Chitan Kingdom has become increasingly tense, regardless of whether the Chitan Kingdom knows his identity or not. , only one thing coincides."

Seeing him pause, Rong Yi took over his words and said: "Being an enemy of Meng is the best reason for their alliance."

The Chitan Kingdom was originally a group of tribes, and those tribes were also divided into priorities. The big leader led his troops to occupy the small tribes, annexed them one by one, and then took the sovereignty of those small enclosures into his own hands, turning it into a The complete country was renamed Chitan Country.

It's just that this name is particularly ironic. The boys of Chitan Kingdom are born into wild men, with beards and beards like halberds. They are like wolves and tigers. They kill people and drink blood. They are especially cruel. I heard others say before that the Chitan people were extremely cunning and used dirty tricks, which was despicable. If General Ning Wei had not been brave and resourceful, he would have suffered a lot in dealing with those insidious villains.

The word magnanimity is used because I am afraid that I am aware of my shortcomings.

The Chitan Kingdom is located in a barbaric land, and it is not absolutely barbaric. But compared to its neighbor, the Meng Kingdom, it can be said to be a world in the sky. The Meng Kingdom was severely weakened in the early years, and it did go through a period of decline, but in the end, its foundation was good. Yes, people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The most important reason for the conflict between Meng and Chitan is the land. Meng’s good geographical environment made the leader of Chitan coveted. He wanted to expand the territory, but Chitan was mostly surrounded by barren land. , and seeing that Bangladesh occupies a large piece of high-quality territory, they wanted to carve a piece of it into their own territory. In addition, the two countries have different folk customs. Bangladesh is not only rich, but also a country with extremely rich cultural heritage.

Faced with such a fat piece of mutton from Meng, no one wants to make up their mind, and the one that can compete with Meng is Chitan.

The Chitan Country that Rong Yi heard about is a bold country. Women there can expose their waists, expose their arms, and ride horses freely on the grassland. This is the only thing that makes Rong Yi yearn for, because, As far as human rights are concerned, Meng's restraint on women is really suffocating, and she knows it very well. However, Chitan's human rights for men and women are relatively equal.

Thinking of this, Rong Yi broke the silence and asked: "Master, can you tell me what the Chitan Kingdom in your heart is like?"

At this time, the food was on the table. Rong Yi paused for a moment, served him food, and said, "Master, let's eat first."

Jiang Shunxiao took a deep breath and said he would talk to her after dinner.
