Clop clop! Clop clop! Clop clop!
A series of horse hooves broke through the thick morning fog.
The fog in early spring was very heavy. Even though the sky had just brightened, the wide streets of Jade Capital City were still hazy. When people looked forward, they could only see a patch of gray. Their mouths and noses could only breathe in the cool fog.
Hong Yi's heart was beating like a horse's hooves.
The direction in which he was riding his horse was not towards Princess Zhennan's residence, but towards the Marquis's residence.
Actually, he was very clear that it was not realistic and dangerous for him to go to the Marquis's residence to ask about the cause of his mother's death.
But, as the horse under him galloped, he could not control his heart and had a strong urge to charge into the manor.
From afar, he could see the gate of the Marquis's residence in the thick fog. It was dark, like the mouth of a devil. Hong Yi pulled on the reins and the horse stopped.
The coolness of the thick fog caused his boiling heart to clear up a little.
"Power, enough power. The law of the Da Qian Dynasty does not stop blood relatives from seeking revenge! If I had enough power, I would rush into the Marquis's residence to question my father and drag that bitch Madam Zhao out. But … I am too weak now. Be it in terms of influence or power! I have no right to speak! "
Hong Yi understood Hong Xuanji's character very well. Hong Xuanji had been powerful his entire life, and he would not tolerate even the slightest bit of contradiction. If he were to barge in recklessly and question Hong Xuanji, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot!
More importantly, his father, Hong Xuanji, was not only a Wu Sheng with exceptional martial arts, but his personal guards were all brave and skilled in battle. Previously, when the Lifeless Path and the True Void Path came to assassinate him, Hong Yi had personally witnessed the power of the 'Mo Dao Guards' and the 'Strong Crossbow Guards'.
Moreover, even if Hong Xuanji was excluded, Madam Zhao was not to be trifled with. The family behind her was unimaginably powerful.
The Zhao family was in the south. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were already a prestigious family. When the world was in chaos, they relied on Cong Long, the founder of the Da Qian Dynasty. Their power expanded and they could be said to be a well-established family with hundreds of years of history. They were definitely not simple.
"My entire life has been entrusted to the wrong person …"
Hong Yi rode on his horse and looked at the Manor from afar. He thought of his mother when he was young and could not help but cry. He already believed what Zhao Han said.
That Su Mu was the number one talented woman in Jade Capital City and so was his mother 20 years ago. When he met Su Mu that day, Hong Yi felt that she wasn't simple. He didn't expect her to be from the Supreme Dao. Connecting the dots, there was an 80% to 90% chance that his mother was from the Supreme Dao.
As for why his mother had never mentioned anything about him since he was young, Hong Yi understood that it was to protect him. Otherwise, if he knew the truth, he definitely wouldn't be able to live until now.
Now that he had just learned martial arts, he had attracted a lot of attention. If it was in the past, it would be terrible.
"Sooner or later, sooner or later, I will get to the bottom of this matter." Hong Yi secretly made up his mind and held the hilt of his sword tightly. "B * tch Zhao, if you really poisoned my mother, I will definitely take your cheap life as a sacrifice to my mother's soul! Also, Hong Xuanji, if you knew about this matter and did not stop it, I will not let you off. I want you to kneel in front of my mother's coffin and repent! "
As for his father, Hong Yi had not seen him much since he was young. He had always lived with his mother. Now that he suddenly knew about this matter, the authority he had towards Hong Xuanji had completely collapsed. There was only anger left.
At the thought of this, Hong Yi wanted to roar to the sky to vent the boundless anger in his heart.
However, he did not do so in the end. He bit his lips so hard that it bled.
"Righteousness …"
"Status …"
"Revenge …"
"Justice …"
Hong Yi repeated these four words over and over again. He suddenly turned his horse around and galloped towards Princess Zhennan's Manor without even looking at the Manor.
Princess Zhennan's Manor was at the end of Zhengyang Street in the south.
Zhengyang Street was where the Princes and Prefectural Princes of Yujing City lived. It was more than ten miles long and was filled with shade trees, flowing water and small bridges. The street was paved with huge bluestone slabs, clean and spotless.
At this time, the sky had just brightened. The Princes and Prefectural Princes' servants had already woken up. Some were cleaning, some were giving out night incense, and some were buying groceries. Carts of live pigs and fresh vegetables were delivered in an endless stream.
However, Hong Yi did not care about these. Once he arrived in front of the Princess' Manor, he immediately got off his horse. Two guards who were standing like wooden pillars shouted, "Who are you!"
"I'm Hong Yi, a good friend of the Princess. I'm here to pay a visit." Hong Yi flashed the 'Shark Cutter' sword in his hand.
"So it's Young Master Hong. The Princess has just woken up. After washing up, she is practicing her swordsmanship in the courtyard. You can go in now. There's no need to report. This is the Princess' order. "
The guards immediately recognized Hong Yi. Then, one of the guards came to lead the horse while the other respectfully invited Hong Yi in.
"What a foreign country." When Hong Yi entered Princess Zhennan's Manor, he saw peach trees everywhere. Spring had arrived and the flowers were blooming, filling the air with the fragrance of flowers. Moreover, these peach trees were different from the peach blossoms of Da Qian. Each of the flowers was the size of a bowl, a special product of the Divine Wind Nation.
The Divine Wind Nation was an island country. Peach blossoms could be seen everywhere on the island. Once spring arrived, the entire place would turn red.
"This manor used to be the residence of the Emperor's blood brother, the Cloud Prince. Later on, the Cloud Prince failed to seize the throne and was sentenced to death. Since then, the manor has been empty. It has only been one or two years since it was given to Princess Zhennan, yet it has already been decorated like this."
Hong Yi looked at the manor and was secretly amazed at the wealth and capabilities of Princess Zhennan, Luo Yun.
This manor was much bigger than Marquis Wu Wen's Mansion. However, Luo Yun felt that it was too complicated. She had removed many of the walls of the manor. Although it looked bright and spacious, it didn't have the many layers of walls that Marquis Wu Wen's Mansion had.
Hong Yi saw Luo Yun, who was dressed in white with a fiery-red silk belt around his waist, dancing with his sword in a large training field that was at least a thousand paces wide.
"Hong Yi, why are you here?"
At this point, Luo Yun noticed Hong Yi as well. She stopped in her tracks and called out from afar, "I've heard that you've become a High Scholar, and you're even the top Top Scorer. You're really amazing. I wanted to look for you, but the rules of your Hou Mansion are too strict, and I can't just walk around casually."
"I've moved out now, and have a family. Princess, you can look for me anytime." Hong Yi hurriedly replied, before bowing deeply.
"Hong Yi, what are you doing?" Luo Yun threw the sword in his hands to one of the guards, before picking up a fan and playing with it. He looked like a dashing young master, but when he saw Hong Yi behaving in such a manner, he was taken aback.
"Princess, I have a favor to ask." Hong Yi said.
"What is it? As long as it's within my capabilities, we're good friends. There's no need to be so courteous. "Luo Yun used his fan to nudge Hong Yi's arm, as he laughed.
"It's like this."
Hong Yi told Princess Zhennan about the arrest of Zhao Han this morning. At the same time, he told her about how Madam Zhao had sent people to control him. "Princess, as long as you send someone to be my witness, and say that Zhao Han was a slave who bullied his master, stole his master's belongings, and insulted his master's deceased mother, he will never be able to make a comeback."
"I didn't expect you to suffer so much in Hou Mansion. Now that you've passed the examinations, that Madam Zhao still wants to control you. Outrageous." Luo Yun was enraged, as he waved his fan furiously. I shall accompany you to the Jade Capital Magistrate's office, and at the same time, bring Zhao Han there. "
"Guards, prepare the palanquin!"
Luo Yun was as straightforward as ever, and immediately got to work.
When Luo Yun and Hong Yi brought the unconscious Zhao Han to the Jade Capital Magistrate's office, the magistrate immediately opened the door to welcome them. With Luo Yun as a witness, Zhao Han was immediately charged with the crime of stealing his master's belongings. He was first flogged a hundred times, and after being beaten half to death, he fell into a coma and was sent to the prison.
At the same time, Hong Yi also helped Shen Tianyang, Shen Tiezhu, and Mu The Younger become his servants. He even prepared a criminal record for them, saying that they were originally people from the suburbs of the capital who came to seek refuge with him. Everything was done flawlessly and flawlessly. Only then did he feel at ease.
By the time these matters were settled, the sky was already bright, and the fog had dissipated.
Hong Yi also used a horse carriage to transport his belongings to the rented place outside the city, and temporarily settled down.
At the same time, he called Shen Tiezhu, Shen Tianyang, and Mu The Younger to his room. After some thought, he decided to first teach Shen Tiezhu the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength, and quickly expand the strength of his people.
Now that he had passed the Imperial Examinations, he was a gentry, and had the right to establish a clan. Although this small clan was not worth mentioning compared to Madam Zhao and Marquis Wu Wen, he still had help. He could cultivate with peace of mind, and gradually grow stronger. Finally, he could find a chance to take revenge!
Hong Yi swore in his heart that one day, he would barge into the Marquis's Residence and question Hong Xuanji face to face. If things were really as Zhao Han said, then he would not show any mercy!
