Chapter 409 Historical Puzzle: Who Is Ji Ming’s Mother?
The succession to the throne is of great importance. Even if you want to intervene and stir up the mud, you have to wait until you enter the royal capital and witness everything with your eyes before making a decision.
It is undoubtedly extremely stupid to choose sides at the speed of light just because the whole family is talking about it. It is impossible for Ji Ming to make such a mistake.
So he didn't agree to Phillip's invitation, and of course, he didn't refuse it directly.
Instead, he used his usual Tai Chi method to avoid Phillip's temptation in circles one after another, always maintaining a specious tone.
Philip also saw Ji Ming's ambiguous attitude, but such a major matter could not be solved by asking him directly.
I had no choice but to pretend to be confused, follow his wishes, and laugh it off.
"Very good. His Royal Highness is a smart man. I like talking to smart people. I hope we will have such an opportunity to speak freely in the future."
However, facing the hand that the Divine Chosen extended out, Philip still shook it without hesitation.
"Of course, the knowledge of God's Chosen is also unparalleled. I have learned a lot and am already looking forward to our next meeting."
Ending with a classic business exchange, the two ended the private chat, which was essentially an extension of the banquet conversation.
Ji Ming said goodbye and left Phillip's room.
"call……"
As the door clicked shut again, Phillip did not rush to call the servants back, but slapped his lower back and sat back in his seat.
Although the team going north did all good things along the way, everyone in the capital was already talking about making such a big noise.
They were all wondering whether this wave was the intention of the church or the actions of the few remaining people of Marquis Changge?
There is a force in the east and a group of interests in the west. Such a complicated situation is really tricky.
So much so that Phillip took a deep breath and could only spit it out tiredly.
Feiya, who had been listening, slowly approached her brother and massaged his shoulders, the light in her eyes flickering as the lights swayed.
"Brother Wang, he doesn't seem to agree to us."
"Your guess is correct, but I think his meaning is very clear and does not need to be modified with 'as if'."
Feeling his sweat-soaked back, Phillip's once confident face showed a wry smile.
"Yaya, you should have seen the barbarians outside Jueqiao Pass. Do you think he is really a miracle doctor from a foreign land. He was inspired by the gods and became the chosen one by virtue of his various merits in curing diseases and saving people?"
Sometimes silence is not necessarily a bad thing, at least as a bystander, you can observe more with your eyes.
So Feiya thought about it and shook her head.
"That land shouldn't be able to raise such a person. He seems to be even smarter than many great nobles."
Phillip nodded but said nothing, and after a long time he muttered.
"So who is he? Is he the secret chosen one that the church deliberately cultivated there? Or was he cultivated in private, and now he just found a reason to bring him to the surface... any other important person?"
Speaking of this, Feiya behind him seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Then... could he be someone who was the Marquis of Changge back then?"
"hiss!"
Phillip suddenly took a breath, because he was really connected by this sentence.
As a noble conscience that is still remembered by many people to this day, in the past ten years, let alone claiming to be the niece of Marquis Changge.
There are even ruthless people who have the courage to say that they are the illegitimate children of Lord Changge, and cuckold Princess Mengquan overtly or covertly.
Although, without exception, they are not fools who want to take advantage of the heat, they will cry and admit their humble origins as long as the meddlesome nobles press them for a little bit.
But everyone in the aristocratic circle knows that a great monarch as brilliant as the Lion Heart King in the first generation could leave several carts of peach blossom debts. Who knows if Lord Changge will do the same?
Based on what we already know, we can further speculate that those in the kingdom who can be related to the Chosen One, whether it is Tenis or Eleanor, are quite complex characters.
Chaos means that everything is possible, and any speculation, no matter how outrageous it is, can be forced to find tenable arguments.
And no matter how complicated it is, they can still find common ground in the two places.
One is the church, they are all members of the Holy Light Church, and the other is that they are all related to the Changge's westward expansion.
Therefore, when the brother and sister slowly discussed this point, Fia suddenly remembered a novel she had read before and blurted it out.
"Brother Wang, do you think there is a possibility that Ji Ming is actually the child of Archbishop Tenis and Marquis Changge?"
"Shh!"
Phillip's eyes widened in fright, and he turned around to signal his little sister to shut up.
It wasn't until all the goosebumps that suddenly jumped up on his body fell down that he touched his forehead where sweat was forming again.
"Silly girl, don't say this nonsense!"
Feiya had already covered her mouth and nodded fiercely.
"I know, I know, brother, it's just... aren't we the only two of us here, so I just made a bold guess..."
You can't blame Philip for being too stressed. You have to understand that as a long-lived species that is somewhat reluctant, but does live longer than humans, Tenis has witnessed the history of the Kingdom of Glow and the Holy Light Church for more than five hundred years.
Although she may be considered a latecomer to the church, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a living fossil that has been watching over the kingdom since its birth.
The old lady played chess with the ancestor king and danced with the ancestor queen. Eight of the twelve warlords have received her holy light blessing. She can be regarded as a senior citizen of the kingdom.
Therefore, questioning her having children with others is equivalent to questioning her identity as the leader of the abstinence succubus.
It is equivalent to questioning her contributions to the church and the kingdom, questioning the recognition of her by the previous kings and the pope, and questioning...
Anyway, as long as you can slide, you say that he directly questioned the foundation of the country, and it is okay to be a little bit of a radiant rapist!
What, if you say this is a radiant rapist, then what are the nobles of the capital who let Lord Changge's family be destroyed?
BIG courage!
This is a slide that cannot be touched!
But...
To be honest, it is not impossible!
You have to understand that the succubus family is best at disguise, otherwise the tail, horns and hooves will be exposed, and the duck in hand will fly away.
So the Oriental appearance of the God's Chosen may not be real, and it may be for disguise.
...
Wait!
Philip suddenly remembered that the God's Chosen really appeared in disguise. He clearly had no abnormal cover on his body at that time, but he didn't know how it happened...
He still remembers that feeling until now. Even if his painting grades are a mess, he still wants to pick up a paintbrush to freeze that moment.
And he is a married man who likes the opposite sex. If it is a woman...
"Yaya, what do you think of the God's Chosen looks like."
"Well, this... this... do you still need to ask?"
Feiya didn't answer directly, but her slightly trembling hands explained everything.
All this even reminded Philip of the legend of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country, the terrible succubus who was clearly a man but could outshine all the beauties and even defeated the first generation of Lionheart.
The most important thing is, if they are not mother and son and half-sisters, how can the three of them get together? It can't be because of some common ideals...
At this point, Feiya let go of her brother's shoulders, sat opposite him, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally asked softly.
"Is it really impossible?"
Philip even hummed in confusion before realizing what she was struggling with. After hesitating for a while, he smiled complicatedly.
"Yaya, I'm glad to see that you still maintain a purity, but..."
He stopped talking, leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling for a long time.
"...Okay."
He looked into his sister's eyes.
"I will try to keep you thinking this way, and Kai, and Jacqueline, all!"
The brother and sister were having a family meeting to think about other people's gossip. Ji Ming, who didn't know that he had an extra mother and a third father inexplicably, had already gone to bed.
Of course, he slept alone.
[Then I'll leave? ]
It's a pity that the banquet was just an episode, and the adults were busy with their own things.
Therefore, the next morning, after breakfast, the three of them parted ways with Viscount Kumu's farewell.
"See you in the capital!"
"See you later!"
Watching the carriage with the royal emblem going farther and farther away, Ji Ming also directed the carriage arranged by the Viscount to drive in the opposite direction.
Don't think about things that don't need to be thought about. After so many battles, if you want to know what the archbishop thinks about this matter, you can just go and ask her directly.
Therefore, three days later, when he arrived at the agreed meeting place in advance, he gave the coachman extra money for full speed and waited outside the pass.
That's right, a pass, another pass.
However, compared with the magnificent Jueqiao Pass, which can make people excited at a glance and has become the "top ten must-go places in Yangyue" for players, this pass is really...
Too delicate?
The surrounding mountains are soft and like tourist attractions, and they are not steep at all. There are so many markets and settlements around that there is no place to hide.
As for the pass itself, it is even more difficult to understand. Although there are shadows of elf style in many places, it is completely a case of drawing a tiger but drawing a dog.
Apart from other things, Jueqiao Pass only has some carvings and stone carvings in unimportant places as an aesthetic pursuit, and the basic task of military wonders must be met.
And this pass called "Jumen" is filled with works of art completely to show artistic aesthetics, and even has statues of two bosses on the left and right sides, which is simply asking for a blast.
What's even more ridiculous is that Ji Ming didn't know who these two idiots were. He only found out after asking the bartender while eating.
Oh, it turns out that the one on the right is the first generation Sun King. No wonder there is a disc behind him. I thought it was Captain America who changed his mind and didn't let the locomotive be a soldier boy.
What about the one on the left? Hey, guess what? It's the first generation Lionheart King!
That's right, five hundred years ago, the two good rice signed the peace agreement and alliance oath here, and these two things were erected here by the ancestor king to commemorate.
Ji Ming thought that this guy was either the chief commander who made great contributions when the country was founded, or the Marquis Changge who died miserably. After all, you...
You have to have some dignity, right?
Who knew that the nobles of Huiguang were so shameless. Don’t even mention what our relationship was like before. Now that Ren Shenlin is about to ravage your Western Territory into a linden ball, you are still here to show your filial piety!
He was tense until he met the archbishop and saw the little lion reading a book in the prison car. He took advantage of no one noticing this place and whispered outside.
"Giuseppe! Do you see those two things standing on the city wall?"
"What?"
Pushing the glasses that he wore probably because of personal habit, the little lion poked his shriveled head out and looked into the distance.
The two giants were painted with a very special paint, so they were clearly visible from a long distance, but he didn't know what this thing was, so he just frowned.
"Who are these two idiots? They stand there in the rain like they have cerebral palsy?"
Ji Ming: ... He is really a fellow countryman from the parallel universe. He speaks elegantly and easily.
"Ah, the one on the right is the first Sun King, and the one on the left is you."
"Oh! Oh, no wonder, I was wondering how Diaodi could be so wise and powerful! It turns out to be me, haha, not bad, really good, good!"
Looking at this Death Knight who was arrogant at first and respectful later, and whose face-changing skills were more skilled than his own, Ji Ming couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being the greatest monarch in the past thousand years.
He could still act so brilliantly even with amnesia, so he really had a way (thumbs-up).
And there was a reason why the Archbishop asked Ji Ming to join them here. This giant gate seemed to have endless flaws, but in fact, it was because its main purpose of existence now was no longer to keep the enemy out.
Looking at the civilians who were strictly examined and made difficult by all kinds of difficulties, the caravans who could turn a blind eye as long as they gave money, and the noble caravans that had no obstacles all the way, Ji Ming understood everything.
-The main purpose of this pass now is actually to be a sieve, allowing the rich to enter, and the poor ghosts without money to stop here, so as not to dirty the eyes of the masters.
He also realized it later, and suddenly understood why there were so many markets outside the pass, and each one was so lively.
...Because perhaps for ordinary people, this is the end of life that can be reached, and more prosperity does not belong to them.
Ji Ming turned his head to look elsewhere, and found that Tenis was leading the way in the front without looking away, and Eleanor was curled up in the carriage, not knowing what she was doing.
Only the little lion in the back of the team had put down the book in his hand, looking at the civilian team that was chirping and crying in the distance, thinking about something.
When he found that Ji Ming was looking at him, he turned around and gave a Schwarzenegger-like hard smile, and continued to look over there in a trance.
Ji Ming suddenly recalled what the other party mentioned when he was interrogated for the first time.
"Great cause..."
Jumen Jumen, of course, is the gate of the royal capital, so only half a day after passing through the Jumen Pass, a light shadow appeared on the horizon.
And the "one" here is not a lazy act of piling it all up without knowing what quantifier to use, but a real one.
From left to right, it filled the end of Ji Ming's eyes, reminding him of the endless wall called death in "The Wandering Earth".
Fortunately, this wall has an end at least in the up and down dimensions, so it is not death, but the capital of the Kingdom of Glory - Qixia City.
