Chapter 9 Ye Xiu's Background

In Murong Qing's room, while making tea, Murong Qing asked softly, "Excuse me, sir, what is your name?"

"My last name is Ye." Ye Xiu answered nonchalantly.

Murong Qing, who was making tea, had a trembling hand and a drop of tea spilled onto the table. Ye Xiu naturally noticed this scene.

"King Fengzhou?" Murong Qing asked tentatively.

Ye Xiu did not answer Murong Qing, but looked at her quietly.

Murong Qing was such a smart person that she immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Qing'er greets the young master."

I won't correct Ye Xiu now. Didn't we come here to discuss poetry and spend a good night together? What is going on here? Ye Xiu said with a head full of questions: "Get up and talk."

"Reporting to the young master, I am a maid of the Murong family. I fled to Ye Country with the young lady."

"Murong family?" Ye Xiu vaguely guessed something, because his mother also had the surname Murong. But Ye Xiu did not interrupt Murong Qing. Instead, he sat down and took a sip of tea.

Murong Qing continued, "The Murong family is your mother's family. Miss Murong De is the third daughter of the Murong family. Our Murong family was originally a descendant of the royal family of Northern Yan. However, because Northern Yan was destroyed by Xia, most of the royal family died tragically. We escaped and fled to Ye State with most of the refugees. Later, we were taken in by a rich family. The rich family saw that the young lady was quite pretty and sent her directly to the palace to be a maid."

Murong Qing saw that Ye Xiu was still listening quietly.

So she continued, "After the young lady was named Defei, she had someone redeem me and brought me to Fengzhou, because it is far away from the capital and there is less trouble. But only the young lady, I and Young Master Murong Cheng know about this. The young master is also in Fengzhou. I will take you to meet him in a few days. 「

"It turns out I have an uncle." Ye Xiu said with emotion.

"The young lady's last letter was hoping that the young master and I would accumulate strength in Fengzhou to ensure the future of the third prince. But after the young lady passed away, you also fell into a slump. We had planned to give up, but just over a month ago we heard that you were named King of Fengzhou and led your troops to conquer Fengzhou, so we reactivated the intelligence system." After saying this, Murong Qing's eyes were already filled with tears, because she did not see her young lady for the last time, and she also heard that Murong De was poisoned to death by other concubines.

Seeing Murong Qing's look, Ye Xiu said sadly: "I was indeed disappointing in the past, but from now on, Aunt Qing, don't worry, I am no longer the useless Third Prince. I am the King of Fengzhou. In the future, I will seek justice for my mother and destroy the Xia Kingdom to avenge Beiyan." When saying this, Ye Xiu's momentum increased sharply, showing the aura of a king.

Murong Qing wiped her tears and said with a smile: With the prince acting like this, the young lady will also be smiling in her grave.

"Oh, by the way, Your Highness, since we knew you were coming to Fengzhou, Young Master Cheng has prepared everything for you and will definitely help you gain a foothold in Fengzhou." Murong Qing added.

Until now, Ye Xiu finally felt relieved. He had thought that traveling through time would be a life-threatening experience, but he didn't expect that he still had some assets.

"I didn't expect Aunt Qing to have maintained herself so well over the years." Ye Xiu wanted to lighten the atmosphere so he said this, but he didn't expect this to make Murong Qing blush.

"Aunt Qing, please continue to provide me with the intelligence you have collected. I think your intelligence network has been very complete over the years. I will send someone over when I need it."

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, Your Highness. Also, I have something else for you." As she spoke, Murong Qing took out a square rosewood box from the secret compartment on the wall, and then took out a key from her underwear to open the box. Inside lay a golden token with the word "cloud" written on it.

"What is this?" Ye Xiu asked curiously.

"A summons to the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun."

"The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun?" Ye Xiu asked in surprise.

Ye Xiu had only seen the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun on TV in his previous life, and they were even mentioned briefly in history books.

According to legend, they were composed of eighteen people in total. They were dressed in winter clothes, with curved swords on their waists, masks on their faces, black scarves on their heads, leaving only their eyes exposed, and long black cloaks on the outside. They wore Hu people's riding boots with daggers on their feet. They all carried large bows on their backs, and each of them carried eighteen arrows. They usually live in the desert and rarely enter the Central Plains. They appear and disappear mysteriously, and all of them wear masks, so no one has ever seen their true faces.

"Yes, Your Majesty. When the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun arrived, Northern Yan had already been destroyed. Now that I have handed him over to you, young master, I feel relieved."

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were a legendary existence. Ye Xiu thought, "Now that I have the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, there's nothing I need to be afraid of."
