Li Ang's voice softened and he looked at the expression on Chai Chai's face seriously.
Chai Chai's hometown is in the north of Zhou State. Ten years ago, a rebellion broke out there. Many people left their homes and fled to Yu State.
It was during that time that Li Ang's mother bought Chai Chai as Li Ang's maid.
After the rebellion ended, some Zhou people returned to their hometowns, and some stayed in Yu State for a long time.
After Li Ang was admitted to the Academy the year before last, he secretly entrusted Ji Linglang, Cheng Juxiu and other friends to help find information about Chai Chai's parents. He even approached Jin Wusuan, the richest businessman in the Yu Kingdom who was known to have extraordinary hands and eyes.
But nothing was found.
Now the Zhou Dynasty court is asking for help, asking their own officials to investigate, and maybe there is hope of finding the person.
"..."
The smile on Chai Chai's face gradually faded, he lowered his eyes, hung his hands by his sides, and subconsciously rubbed the cuffs of his clothes with his fingertips.
"I'm saying it's possible, it's possible to find your parents and family. I don't mean to drive you away."
Li Ang stood up from the chair and said seriously: "I was still young back then and didn't know much about the process. If you don't want to find them, then don't look for them in the future."
"No..."
Chai Chai bit his lip and shook his head, "Actually, I don't hate them anymore.
At that time, there was a sudden war in my hometown, and they took me all the way to Yu State. Later, when they had no other choice, they contacted your mother through Yaxing and sold me to your home."
Talking about that memory, Chai Chai pursed his lips slightly and said slowly: "Before leaving, they hugged me and cried and said that they would definitely redeem me in a few years.
I sit on the threshold of the drug store every evening, waiting and waiting.
Two years, three years, five years.
Madam, she is very nice and keeps comforting me that they will come.
I just keep waiting,
When the old clothes brought by Zhou Guo were too small to wear, they did not show up."
Chai Chai sniffed and stared at the tips of his shoes, "Fortunately, young master, you are very kind to me. With you by my side, I gradually feel less sad.
When I took the exam for the Academy last year, I worked so hard because I didn’t want to disappoint you, young master.
In fact, I also want them to see the newspaper and know that their daughter has been admitted to the Academy, so that they can come to Chang'an to find me.
I just want to see them and know how they are doing.
But..."
Li Ang took a step forward, gently hugged the choking girl, and patted her soft, fragrant hair.
"At that time, I also knew that young master, you secretly helped to make the Academy Publications write many articles about me on the front page of the newspaper.
The neighbors all laugh at you, Master, you are such a playboy, and you are so doting on your maid.
When a maid is admitted to the palace, she has to find someone to write an article praising her, hoping to let the whole world know about it.
I’m the only one who understands that you don’t think so, young master.”
Chai Chai put his head on Li Ang's chest and said in a low voice: "It has been so long and there is no information about them. I feel that they may have died somewhere..."
Yu State's newspapers and publications were not only distributed in various state capitals, but were even sold to towns, towns and even abroad.
As for Chai Cuiqiao’s parents and family, there has been no news for so long.
The hope of still being in the Yu Kingdom is really slim.
"Let Zhou Guo search slowly, and he will always be found."
Li Ang consoled him: "If it doesn't work, I'll ask the mountain chief. Dongjun Tower is so big and there are so many alienated objects, there should be something that can help find the person."
"Hmm."
Chai Chai nodded slowly, his hair brushed against Li Ang's shirt, causing a sizzling sound to cause static electricity.
"Hey."
The two people who were shocked shouted together, let go of their arms, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile at each other. Just like they did when they were children.
"Okay, go to bed, we have classes tomorrow."
Li Ang said with a smile, pinching Chai Chai's fleshy cheeks.
Chai Chai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded, "Master, you should go to bed early."
"Hmm."
Li Ang looked at Chai Chai's back as he walked out of the study and sighed silently,
It is said that monks are omnipotent, but even if they become a disciple of an academy, embark on the path of spiritual practice, and master various secret techniques, they are far from being carefree.
Just do the things in front of you.
He shook his head, sat back in his seat, and looked at the table full of papers.
There are various complicated graphics drawn on the paper.
There are both the arena terrain and the shapes of various telepathy devices that Bian Chenpei has shown before.
In addition, there are a large number of geometric patterns.
If you want to defeat Bian Chenpei, you need to maximize your advantage in the precision of your mind control...
————
Summer has arrived, and the scorching sun is high.
Willow branches swayed in the wind, and cicadas with translucent wing membranes crawled on the tree trunks, making a lively chirping noise.
The auditorium of the Academy's martial arts arena was full of people, not only students from various countries, but also the people of Chang'an City, dignitaries, and even... the royal family.
"There are so many people."
In the box on the top floor, the young Princess Linzhang held the guardrail of the box with both hands and said coquettishly.
"There are almost 80,000 people, all coming to watch the game."
Li Leling said casually, stretched out her hand and gently pulled the back collar of Princess Linzhang's clothes, and led her back, "Don't get so close to the guardrail, you'll be afraid of heights."
Princess Linzhang put her hands on her hips with some dissatisfaction, "I don't know how."
"Oh? I don't know who ran wildly in the Qingshu Temple on the mountain last time. When he looked down the mountain, he was frightened and fell to the ground and broke his baby teeth."
Li Leling ruthlessly exposed her sister's lies,
The latter pouted his mouth in dissatisfaction, only to reveal half of his missing front teeth. He quickly covered his mouth and angrily ran to Queen Xue for a hug.
Today is the last day of the arena competition, which involves national honor. All six departments have taken leave in advance and allowed officials to come and watch the competition.
Emperor Yu also came here, but he was not in this box. Instead, he was sitting in a box slightly farther away with several ministers, the prince, the head of the academy, Cardinal Xinxiu of Taihao Mountain, the emperor's uncle of Zhou Dynasty, etc.
"Aniang,"
King Li Hui of Yue stood up and whispered: "I have a game later, can I go to my friends first?"
"Well, go ahead."
Queen Xue nodded. Although Yu Guomin's style was not as ruthless as that of Jing Guo, he would kill people in the street if they disagreed.
But it also inherited the simplicity and martial arts of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
A prince who participates in the ring competition as a monk will not lose his status, but will appear responsible and energetic——
With the protection of the ring prohibition, there is no such thing as "a gentleman does not stand under a wall".
"Aniang, me too..."
Li Leling also approached, and before she finished speaking, Queen Xue, who was holding her little daughter, said in advance, "I know, I know, you go find your friend too."
"Hehe."
Li Leling hugged her mother sweetly, walked out of the box quickly, and walked to the distant auditorium with the escort maid.
"Alas,"
Empress Xue looked at her daughter's back and sighed: "There is no way for a female to stay in college."
