Chapter 343
"This man seems to be down and out, but in fact, if you look twice, you will find that his background is either rich or noble. It is definitely not simple. If you think carefully about the people with higher status you have ever seen." Jiang Zhao said this because he had a strange feeling when he saw this person.
Yan Jiuci nodded: "Yes."
Yan Jiuci was reminiscing all the way. He had an intuition that this person's identity should be very important and he must recall it as soon as possible. He thought about the people he had seen in his previous life one by one. Some of their faces might have been blurred, but he could still tell whether they were the same compared to the person he had just met.
When Jiang Zhao stepped into the door of Prince An's Mansion, Yan Jiuci suddenly raised his head.
His movements caught Jiang Zhao's attention: "Remember?"
"Yeah." Yan Jiuci remembered it but didn't say anything, and followed Jiang Zhao into the house.
Jiang Zhao led the people to the hall and asked them to serve refreshments before asking, "Tell me."
As soon as he said this, Yan Jiuci knew that no one should be eavesdropping: "Your Majesty, this is Xie Yao."
"Who is Xie Yao?"
Yan Jiuci: "The surname of Lan State is Xie." Before Jiang Zhao could ask, he continued to add, "In his previous life, he succeeded to the throne of Lan State and proposed to marry the sixth princess as his concubine to establish friendship between the two countries."
I'm afraid this happened in my previous life.
The sixth princess passed away not long ago, and I don't know what happened.
Chapter 101
"Xie Yao is the sixth son of the king of Lan Kingdom. I only know that he was exiled outside due to the struggle for the right to inherit the throne before he succeeded to the throne. I have never heard that he has ever lived in the capital of our Jokhang Kingdom. But Jokhang There is basically no chance to meet people from the country People who come to Lan State, just like today, no one will recognize him when he walks on the street," Yan Jiuci said, "Unless someone like me has seen him before, how many chances do ordinary people have to see Lan State. People, especially the royal family.”
"The Lan Kingdom and the Jokhang Kingdom have had friction since ancient times. This can be traced back to the previous involvement between the two countries. Several cities in the Jokhang Kingdom originally belonged to the Lan Kingdom. In the past, the Jokhang Kingdom won the conflict between the two countries and won those cities. Lan. The king of the country is not much different in age from the current His Majesty, and the time of succession is similar. It is probably because of these reasons that he always wants to outdo His Majesty. "
At this point, Yan Jiuci added: "In the last few years of his previous life, His Majesty was angered by the fights between several princes. In addition, his body could not support it. The Lan State took the opportunity to launch an attack. From some minor frictions to two national war."
I don’t know the current situation there in this life, but the king of Lan Kingdom is getting worse and worse. He must still want to severely defeat Jokhang Kingdom before he dies. It is best to take back those cities. It is estimated that there will still be friction.
"However, no one expected the disastrous defeat of the Jokhang Kingdom. That incident was probably a huge blow to His Majesty. He was so angry that he vomited blood several times. There has never been a battle in the history of the Jokhang Kingdom in which the entire army was wiped out. "If this incident hadn't happened, His Majesty might have been able to support him for a few more years in his previous life." Seeing Jiang Zhao's brows showing thoughts, he said, "This matter is a worry for His Majesty, so later when Prince Rui led his troops to a great victory and annihilated 100,000 people from the Lan Kingdom, His Majesty felt proud and proud. Maybe he knew that time was running out and he no longer looked at younger princes, so he made Prince Rui the crown prince without hesitation."
Jiang Zhao lazily leaned on the chair without saying a word, but kept peeling an orange in his hands.
Yan Jiuci knew he was thinking, so he didn't bother him. He picked up the cake next to him and started eating it.
After he came back, he was arranged by His Majesty, so he didn't come here much, but he had been getting along with King An for many years and was very comfortable in each other's presence. In the future, I might be able to call Wang An brother, but it’s too unfamiliar.
The oranges were easy to peel. Jiang Zhao put the peel aside and began to eat, still saying nothing.
Yan Jiuci didn't know what he was thinking. After eating the cake, he took out the military book from his arms and read it. The Lan Kingdom will definitely not be willing to give in. Even if His Majesty does not die as early as in his previous life, this war will be difficult to avoid. Now he has to read more military books.
"Did you miss something?"
I don't know how much time had passed, but Jiang Zhao's voice pulled Yan Jiuci back. He asked, "What is the prince referring to?"
"Xie Yao succeeded to the throne of the Lan Kingdom. Do you know what happened?"
Yan Jiuci was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know. The battle involving the royal family of the Lan Kingdom. I was only the guard around the fifth princess at that time, and there was no spy from the Lan Kingdom. I don't know the details."
Jiang Zhao put the last orange segment into his mouth and ate it, then asked: "When the Lan Kingdom wiped out the entire army of the Jokha Kingdom, did Xie Yao, who was living outside, come back?"
"Pah——"
Yan Jiuci was not a stupid person. He immediately realized something from these words. The military book in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, his face was in disbelief, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Is this really going to be the case? This was something he couldn't even imagine. After all, how could they do such a thing with their status? But thinking about what happened in the past few years, the eldest prince, the third prince, etc., for their own interests, they seemed not to care what happened to the people below.
They are so aloof, how can they care whether the common people can live or not.
For those two, if they can win the position of the king of a country, what does it matter if a few people die? Throughout history, whenever there is a war, the least valuable thing is human life. Massacres have happened countless times. Thinking this way, everything seems to be reasonable.
"Prince." Yan Jiuci came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Zhao, but saw that his face was calm, as if he had only asked an insignificant question. But he knew that since the prince asked this question, no matter whether the guess was true or not, he would definitely not let this happen again.
Recently, he has been very happy in the army.
When he thought that these people who were with him every day might die so unjustly in the future, he couldn't help but get angry.
