Chapter 367 The Mystery of Shangguan Zhenhua's Life
Wen Yunshao looked at Xiao Jingxuan and said, "Your princess is the granddaughter of Shangguan Zhenhua. Although I have never met Shangguan Zhenhua and have never been to the capital, I have heard of his name and deeds. He possesses supernatural powers that ordinary people do not have. This is not uncommon in Penglai."
"You mean the Shangguan clan?" Xiao Jingxuan understood what he meant: "Do you think that the Duke of Protectorate of our dynasty might also be a member of the Shangguan clan?"
Wen Yunshao nodded, "That's right. Over the years, fewer and fewer people in the Shangguan clan have awakened their divine powers, and they are all from the direct lineage. There is no one with divine power in the side lineage. The Shangguan clan respects strength. As long as you are strong enough and have the strongest divine power, no matter you are from the direct lineage or the side lineage, you are qualified to sit on the position of clan leader."
Xiao Jingxuan felt that Wen Yunxiu had gone into too much detail. They had just met and their relationship wasn't that good yet.
Wen Yunshao didn't care much and continued, "There was once a remarkable person in the side branch of the Shangguan clan. He didn't have powerful divine power, but he had extraordinary martial arts talent. Before he was thirty years old, he created a technique to increase his strength, making it comparable to divine power."
"He succeeded." Wen Yunshao smiled and said, "This technique is not suitable for everyone. People who are not talented enough will never be able to learn it. Despite this, the emergence of this technique still threatens the direct line of the Shangguan clan. In a family competition, the genius from the side branch used this technique to defeat the strongest Hercules in the direct line."
"In the Shangguan clan, the direct line has always crushed the collateral line. Losing to a collateral line is a huge shame."
"Not long after, something happened to that genius. He went mad and killed a young master of the direct lineage in public. He was mercilessly hunted down by the direct lineage. The martial arts he created also became a taboo in the Shangguan clan, and no one was allowed to learn it."
"Is that man dead?"
"died."
Wen Yunxiu suddenly smiled as he spoke: "But his son is not dead."
Jamel Xiao was stunned: "That child is..."
"You guessed correctly, that child is Shangguan Zhenhua."
"That year was a time of turmoil, and the man fled to Haicheng with his wife and children. Later, in order to divert the pursuers, the couple entrusted their son to a merchant they had rescued. The merchant ran around with the child, and the couple were caught up by the pursuers and killed by the swords."
"A few years later, the merchant died in the war, leaving the child alone to struggle to survive in the chaotic world."
The story told by Wen Yunxiu not only surprised Xiao Jingxuan, but also made Ye Tang, who was watching the show in the dark, feel annoyed.
When she learned that there was a Shangguan clan in Penglai Kingdom, she guessed that her grandfather might be related to the Shangguan clan, but she never thought that the story would turn out to be like this.
And it was obvious that Wen Yunxiu was quite clear about this matter.
Wen Yunxian glanced at the darkness to the right and said, "Princess Pingshan, how long do you plan to eavesdrop?"
Ye Tang patted his butt, stood up, and walked out with a calm expression.
Jamel Xiao hurriedly walked towards her: "Madam, why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you." Ye Tang said.
Then she looked at Wen Yunshao: "Why are you telling us all this? How can you remember such a long time ago? And the direct descendants of the Shangguan clan hate my great-grandfather so much, why didn't they continue to hunt down my great-grandfather's children? Don't they know about my grandfather's existence? My grandfather is so powerful that his name is known to all the four countries. No matter how secluded Penglai is, it is impossible that they don't know anything about it!"
"As expected of a descendant of that man, he has heard so many secrets and can think rationally about these issues." Wen Yunshao smiled and said, "Do you know why the direct descendants of the Shangguan clan didn't come? Because they thought Shangguan Zhenhua was dead, and died with his parents."
When Shangguan Zhenhua's parents were fleeing, they picked up an abandoned baby who looked similar to Shangguan Zhenhua. The baby was dying and had only one breath left. The two of them fled with the baby and died together with the baby.
The people chasing them mistakenly thought the abandoned baby was Shangguan Zhenhua.
Ye Tang frowned: "Even if they thought my grandfather was dead, haven't they heard of my grandfather's name over the years?"
Wen Yunxian shook his head: "They won't know."
"why?"
"Because the Wen family won't let them know." Wen Yunshao shrugged and said, "Emperor Penglai once set a rule that people from major families cannot easily leave Penglai. They can't leave Penglai, so of course they won't know what's happening outside. They won't know about the first divine power of the Yuan Dynasty or the founding generals."
"If those families want to leave Penglai, they can only sneak across the border, and not too many people can leave at once."
Ye Tang was stunned: "Why?"
Wen Yunshao blinked: "Why?"
"Why do you want to help my grandfather?" Ye Tang already understood that the Shangguan clan of Penglai Kingdom had no idea of his grandfather's existence. The Wen family was equivalent to the intelligence organization of Penglai Kingdom, and they concealed the existence of his grandfather.
Wen Yunshao held his forehead and said, "Why? Of course it's to repay a favor! That person saved my grandfather, saved your grandfather's life, and left his descendants, which is a repayment of the favor."
"But we only concealed your grandfather's affairs. We didn't ask for any help from your grandfather."
"He was able to survive because he was lucky."
Wen Yunshao looked at Ye Tang and said, "I don't let you go to Penglai because I'm afraid that your identity will be exposed."
"Your grandfather inherited the Shangguan clan's divine power, and you may have it too."
"Once the Shangguan Clan knows about your grandfather's existence, you will face endless pursuit."
Ye Tang nodded: "I understand!"
Wen Yunxiu said with satisfaction: "I'm glad you understand. It's worth all my efforts to explain it to you."
"But I still want to go to Penglai Kingdom." Ye Tang said again, her tone was firm.
Wen Yunshao almost lost his balance. He frowned and looked at Ye Tang: "So I said so much in vain. Why are you so stubborn? Letting Penglai Kingdom come into being may be good for the Yuan Dynasty, but it is definitely not good for you and your grandfather."
"The direct descendants are still the ones in charge of the Shangguan clan. Because of that person, the direct descendants are suppressing the collateral descendants even more severely. Are you really not afraid of being attacked by them?"
Ye Tang sighed and said, "Lord Wen, I know you have good intentions, but we must go. First, to promote the prestige of our dynasty, and second, to find medicine."
"What medicine?" Wen Yunshao asked, "I have quite a few rare medicines on hand."
"Antidote for the dead."
Wen Yunshao was stunned: "You want to detoxify the assassin who is with you?"
Ye Tang hummed: "City Lord Wen is so powerful, you should have figured it out. He is a soldier of Penglai Kingdom!"
"I can see it." Wen Yunshao continued, "But I can't tell who is controlling him."
The major families would often send their assassins and clansmen to secretly go out to carry out missions. The City Lord's Mansion could stop most of them, but could not stop a small part.
The City Lord's Mansion will not interfere with what those people do after they arrive in the four countries, nor can it interfere. The personnel and capabilities are limited, so it would be great if they could stop most of the illegal immigrants.
