Chapter 76 Kaiyang City
Three days later, in Kaiyang City, Balliard found an inn to accommodate Jiang Yan, who kept crying.
Just because of this girl's crying, the original two-day journey took an extra day. No, with the pace of the dragon horse, the two-day journey of other good horses may be completed in just one day.
As the saying goes, dragons have reverse scales and will die if they touch them. Even though Jiang Yan is a talented and extremely sensible little girl, when others say bad things about her father, she will still throw away all the etiquette his father taught her.
When the restaurant owner said bad things about Jiang Miao that day, if it weren't for Balliard's quick eyesight and the charming mental skills of Shadow Island, this girl would have quarreled with the owner right away.
The boss doesn't seem to be from Fanyang. It doesn't matter whether Jiang Miao is good or evil to him, but there are still children in the city who survived the disaster ten years ago.
Their hatred for Jiang Miao could never be easily resolved. If they knew that Jiang Yan was Jiang Miao's daughter, even if Baliard didn't really want to kill someone, he would probably have to let the ruins see blood.
The monarch of the Shadow Isles is naturally not a person who dares not kill people or is merciful, but there are dozens of times when Balliard went to Valoran privately, and hundreds of times he went to Valoran openly after passing Drizzt's test.
There was never a time when Valoran did anything that went unpunished.
Before Demacia was established, Baliard was chased by Kyle from Green Peak to the Sea of Ice. If not for Kyle's "massive killing", it would have caused huge damage to Freljord.
Influenced by Anivia's intervention, I'm afraid Valyard would have to go hide with Ornn in the end.
To be precise, it was a source of trouble. If the angel had met the devil, he probably wouldn't have pursued him fiercely.
Therefore, Balliard did not kill people casually, lest he end up like the evil dragon. Although he said he could not kill him, hadn't the evil dragon not appeared in the world for ten years?
It would be terrible if he was imprisoned for thousands of years like the dark descendants.
"Does the store know where the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion is?"
Balliard went downstairs, leaving Longshe in the room to take care of Jiang Yan. Although Longshe was dangerous, he wouldn't attack the child.
In other words, if that guy followed him shamelessly, how could he attack Jiang Yan so that Balliard could have enough excuses to drive him away?
"Kaiyanghou's Mansion? Young hero, you want to be a guest in Kaiyanghou's Mansion? Listen to the old man's advice. You can't get into the Kaiyanghou's Mansion now."
The shopkeeper, who was in his fifties, was quite enthusiastic and started chatting away with a few words, but these words were exactly the information Valliard needed.
"Why? I heard that the Marquis of Kaiyang is a righteous man, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. He is a Marquis with an excellent reputation. Why should he go to this mansion? Is it possible that he can eat this young hero?"
Balliard had the intention of going to Kaiyanghou Mansion to try it out in person. Of course, it was just an attitude. If the old shop owner didn't stop him, he would go out and turn left to find someone to ask for details.
"Young knight, don't be impulsive. This Marquis of Kaiyang is indeed a rare good Marquis. Ever since he took over Kaiyang Province from the previous Marquis, this Province has shown signs of prosperity.
More than ten years ago, the empire didn't know that the fruits grown in the fertile fields of Kaiyang Province were praised by even His Majesty. Who didn't know that the beauty of Kaiyang Province made those transformed monsters not hesitate to massacre their own compatriots?
It would be a pity to change it.”
As soon as Valliard heard these words, he knew that he had asked the right person. Sure enough, he could get a lot of information in an inn with a century-old sign.
"But because of Jiang Miao and the evil dragon?"
"Hush - don't talk nonsense. In Kaiyang City, the name of the eldest son is the most unmentionable."
The old shopkeeper was so frightened by Balliard's words that he jumped up from his chair. The pipe in his right hand even knocked over a white porcelain teapot on the table, which shattered on the ground and attracted the attention of many people.
.
Those who were eating saw that the old shopkeeper had knocked over a teapot, and they immediately lost interest. As people get older, they naturally have more problems, and their hands and feet are not good enough. Isn't it normal to knock something over?
"Why?"
So, since Kaiyang Hou is a man of great benevolence and righteousness who knows right from wrong, how come he is not allowed to talk about his eldest son because he made a mistake?
"The reason why we can't enter the Kaiyang Hou Mansion is because the eldest son has disappeared. The Marquis had four sons, and the eldest son disappeared. The second son followed the eldest son at that time.
The young master went with him, but when he came back he became crazy.
The remaining third and fourth young masters are really dandy children, and they were all born to concubines in the mansion. Those concubines are all very enchanting in appearance, but their brains are really not good enough.
The eldest son and the second son are both legitimate sons, and the heir-in-waiting should be among them. The marquis naturally trained the two young masters more, and ignored the two concubines to give birth to sons, so as to avoid the fight for the legitimate sons.
This is the tradition of Kaiyanghou's lineage.
If there is only one legitimate son, one of the concubines may be selected and trained as a backup candidate. But if there are two legitimate sons, why do we need the concubine to give birth to a son to inherit the throne?"
The old shopkeeper lowered his voice. It was really inconvenient for others to talk about these topics, so as not to be remembered.
"It's fate, one of the two legitimate sons is missing and the other is crazy, so only those two dudes can inherit the throne. After the eldest son disappeared ten years ago, the Marquis began to train the two sons.
But those two concubines, the biological mother of the third and fourth sons, are really nothing! They actually used this to form gangs and eradicate dissidents. Three years ago, the old Marquis was seriously ill, and the power of Kaiyang Province fell to him.
The hands of those two women.
These two women first instigated the young master to make the teacher angry, and then "pampered" the young master in every possible way. Can you believe it when they say it? The third and fourth young masters who are practicing literature, none of them can read the three thousand basic characters.
!”
"It is said that mothers are more valuable than their children, but they never thought that they are raising their children to be useless so that they can gain power. This is really..."
It's really rare. It has become a norm in the world to hope that one's son will become a dragon and one's daughter will become a phoenix. But in this prince's mansion, one wants to raise a dragon's son to a dog's son.
"Those two women have different origins?"
"The young hero is really astute! He can actually hear the reason from the old man's words. In this case, the old man cannot let the young hero go to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion. How can a young hero plot against a woman!"
The old shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he tapped the table lightly, causing the tea on the ground to float into a ball and fly to the drainage ditch outside the door. It turned out that he was a mortal master. If it weren't for his talent and lack of opportunities, he might not be able to do it.
