Chapter 376

Just as Jiang Zhongchi's biological mother stood there with her hands on her hips and scolded the entire Chenxiang Courtyard, the door near Jiang Yi and the others opened, and a chubby man with a natural smile walked out.

He was dressed in merchant clothes, and when he saw Jiang Yi sitting there, he greeted him with a smile, then walked to the handrail and looked down.

After looking at the team of guards wearing the uniforms of Prince Yi's personal army, he frowned, and then thought of going downstairs to resolve the crisis.

Today, Prince Yi holds all the power in Western Xinjiang and is at the peak of his career, and the people in Prince Yi's mansion are also rising in status.

Especially the three Jiang brothers just now, who have become the bullies of Western Xinjiang, but they are not the bullies in the traditional sense. They are just a little ostentatious and like to show off, but they have not done anything evil.

The people of the entire Demon Realm Pass, especially merchants like him, worshipped these three as bodhisattvas. It was inevitable that they would show goodwill to each other in private, and the three brothers were straightforward, accepting everyone who came, and never knew what it meant to be incorruptible.

Prince Yi, who was always known for his integrity, turned a blind eye to this and had no intention of caring at all.

However, the three Jiang brothers are very sensible and never get involved in sensitive matters.

Take him for example, he once gave a priceless treasure in private, but it was returned to Chenxiangyuan that night.

"As the great leader of Korhan, why would you bother to get involved in such matters?"

Just as the man dressed as a businessman turned around to go downstairs, Jiang Yi, who was sitting at the table, spoke.

The merchant man suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jiang Yi. The smiling expression on his face disappeared and a fierce look appeared.

Jiang Yi didn't care at all and said with a smile: "This is the majestic demeanor that a great leader of Korhan should have."

"Who are you?"

The merchant did not deny it. He knew very well that since the other party had found him here and exposed his identity on the spot, he would be in trouble if he denied it again.

Moreover, the other party was obviously well prepared and would not give him any chance to resist.

He silently glanced around. The second floor, which was supposed to be crowded with people, had been cleared out at some point. Apart from the three of them, there was no one else in sight.

"Who are you?" Qiu Batu asked warily.

"Captain Qiu, it's noisy outside, why don't we go in and talk?" Jiang Yi stood up.

Qiu Batu glanced at the two men warily, especially at Fulong who was standing there like a wooden stake, his face full of solemn vigilance.

Seeing Jiang Yi and the other person walk into the room on their own, Qiu Batu looked around the entire Chenxiang Courtyard hesitantly, gave up the idea of ​​escaping, and followed them into the room.

This is a guest room that couldn't be more ordinary. It is no different from other guest rooms and there is no trace of exotic style.

"Who would have thought that the chieftain, who has always been highly regarded by the Korhan people, is actually a businessman in secret."

Jiang Yi sat at the round table, picked up a cup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"If the Korhan people knew the truth, what would their reaction be?"

Qiu Batu's face turned ugly. As the chief of the Korhan people, he should have been with his people. But he didn't. Instead, he hid himself from the world and became a wealthy man.

The life of the Khorhan people was too hard, and their status in the Xifan Dynasty was low. He could not bear this kind of hardship, so he found an excuse to leave his tribe.

It was a pretext, but in fact it was a lie. He deceived all the Khorhan people, claiming that he would walk barefoot across the entire wild continent to pray for the Khorhan people. To put it bluntly, he was an ascetic, walking through all the poor mountains and bad waters, worshipping all the famous rivers, and he would never stop as long as he lived.

On the prairie, this is considered the most pious way to pray, and of course, the most tragic. The ascetic has to spend his entire life fulfilling his promise.

He cut off all contact with his family, friends and all other related people until he was finally buried in a foreign land.

Qiu Batu left in this way, and this moved all the Khorhan people. Decades passed, and the position of the chief remained vacant and reserved for him.

Because he carries the last hope of all the Korhan people, the last hope to escape the lowly status of bonded slaves.

The bondservant horse slave is an identity that all Khorkhan people can never get rid of. They raise horses and mounts for their masters for their entire lives, lead the horses and stirrups, but are never allowed to ride on horseback.

Moreover, the master family holds the power of life and death over them, and they have no status at all. Whether they can survive every day depends on the master's mood.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Although his brother's true colors were exposed, Qiu Batu calmed down instead. He could sense that the other party must have other intentions towards him and wanted to get something from him.

However, he always felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"If you want something from me, please tell me. If I have it, I will give it to you. If I don't have it, I can't give it to you even if you kill me."

For so many years, Qiu Batu had been hiding very well, and no one had ever seen through his true identity. But today he was caught. The big handle in the other party's hand was enough to ruin his reputation and leave him without a burial place.

Once the news gets out, he will be eaten alive by all the Korhans, and even his relatives who have cut off ties with him will be killed.

"Captain Qiu, that's too serious. I don't mean to threaten you." Jiang Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head slightly.

Qiu Batu sneered secretly, is this not a threat?

Jiang Yi didn't care about the other person's expression at all, and continued: "On the contrary, I want to help Leader Qiu realize his dream."

Qiu Batu glared at him and said, "Do you know what my dream is?"

"The richest man in the world, a Khorhan man, a legitimate tycoon!" Jiang Yi said, then looked at the other party and asked, "Am I right?"

Qiu Batu fell silent. This was indeed his ultimate dream. He didn't want to live with this fake identity forever, but it was not all.

As if he already knew what he was thinking, Jiang Yi continued: "This is one, as for the other... I think I can help you fulfill the promise you made to all the Korhan people!"

Hearing this, Qiu Batu's face finally showed some emotion, but it was fleeting. He asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Yi smiled, turned around and gestured to Fulong. Fulong took out a worn animal skin map from his arms and put it on the round table.

Qiu Batu looked at the map, somewhat confused. This map looked very familiar to him. It was the map of the entire Western Xinjiang, covering most of the Xifan Dynasty and part of the Baiyue and Quanshi Dynasties.

Jiang Yi stood up, stared at the map for a while, raised his hand and pointed at it: "I want this place!"

Qiu Batu was completely shocked. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"

Looking at the young man in front of him who looked more and more familiar, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "You are the owner of the Dali King's Flag!"
