I really became a king.

Chapter 524 The Situation of Liu Guangqiu's Family
But when Jiang Yi suddenly heard the words "Uncle Liu", he didn't react at all. There are many people with the surname Liu in the world, so there are naturally many uncles.

Duo Luo saw his master's doubts and could only explain further: "It's Uncle Liu Guangqiu..."

Liu Guangqiu... Jiang Yi understood and looked a little strange.

Regarding the father of his previous incarnation, perhaps because he had accepted this body and memories, there was always a strange emotion deep in his heart.

And he also understood that he had to shoulder this responsibility, both in terms of gratitude and the past of this body.

Ultimately, he could no longer sever his ties with that "family".

"What's up with him?"

Over the years, just like Prince Duan Jiang Lie of Northern Xinjiang, he has been avoiding Liu Guangqiu's family and avoiding direct meetings.

There was an excuse before. After all, Prince Yi's Mansion was not yet stable, and was even in a precarious situation. He did not want to implicate them by exposing their special close relationship.

But now, Prince Yi's Mansion has a strong enough foundation, and even if a little bit of intimacy is exposed to the outside world, it has enough confidence to protect this family.

Duo Luo hesitated, as if he knew what to say.

Jiang Yi glanced at him and said, "Tell the truth."

Duo Luo bowed and responded, and said carefully: "Uncle Liu has been fighting with others for the past two years, and because of this, he has always wanted to do something."

"Fighting? Being bullied?" Jiang Yi's tone suddenly became a little stiff, and also carried a hint of murderous intent.

Duo Luo was startled and said quickly: "No, no, I was not bullied."

Seeing the evil spirit on his own prince disappear into thin air, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As the chief steward of Prince Yi's palace, Duo Luo knew a little about the inside story.

Liu Guangqiu's family had always been under the secret care of Prince Yi's Mansion. Although they did not become rich, they had enough food and clothing and could be considered a well-off family.

With the care of Prince Yi's Mansion, it is naturally impossible for him to be bullied.

"Last year, Uncle Liu's second daughter reached marriageable age and fell in love with a farm boy. They both wanted to be together."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi imagined a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old, with clothes full of patches and a face that showed signs of malnutrition.

Now, six or seven years have passed, and she should have grown into a big girl.

"They got married?" Jiang Yi asked in surprise. This shouldn't happen. His intelligence organization would definitely report this to him.

"No, something...something happened in the middle." Duo Luo said hesitantly.

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows: "What? Could it be that the farm boy dared to change his mind?"

Seeing his own prince's frown, Duo Luo's heart was beating fast. From the three words "dare to change your heart", we can see his own prince's attitude, and he will never allow this family to suffer any grievances.

"No, it's... that family lives a rather poor life, Uncle Liu Guangqiu..." Duo Luo didn't know what to say next.

Jiang Yi suddenly laughed and said, "You despise the poor and love the rich?"

Duo Luo nodded with a wry smile, and Jiang Yi smiled and shook his head, not thinking it was a big deal. As a father, he hoped that his daughter could marry into a good family and at least have enough food and clothing.

In this respect, there is nothing wrong with being a father.

As for Jiang Yi himself, when Jiang Youning grows up, he will probably be more picky. Seeing that his own prince did not care, Duo Luo continued: "Although the second daughter of the Liu family was somewhat reluctant, she was obedient and broke off the relationship between the two. Originally, the matter ended here...

But some time ago, the farm boy who had been away from home for two years suddenly came back, and he seemed... seemed to be doing pretty well...

Also...I can't quite get over the anger I felt back then."

Jiang Yi understood the old story from his previous life and couldn't help but chuckle, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the young and poor!"

Duo Luo silently comprehended this sentence, nodded, and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what you meant." He continued:
"The Liu family didn't care too much about it at first, and the Liu family's second daughter had just arranged a marriage a few years ago, so they didn't want to cause any trouble. But that boy didn't seem to want to let it go."

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "This is normal. Once you are successful, you have to regain some face."

Duo Luo did not say more about this, but continued: "There is an idle house next to the Liu family's house. Liu Guangqiu had taken a fancy to it before, and reached a sales agreement with the owner of the house a month ago.

But when the farm boy came back, he suddenly intervened and bought it first."

Jiang Yi heard this and asked in confusion: "If I remember correctly, the Liu family's house is not small, it should be enough for them to live in. Why do they want to buy another one?"

Perhaps due to his past life, Jiang Yi was naturally sensitive about real estate, especially when it came to people's livelihood stability.

Duo Luo lowered his head and replied: "According to what the Liu family said, it seems to be for their son who has been missing for many years..."

Jiang Yi remained silent. More than ten years had passed, but the other party still hadn't let it go.

"I heard that Liu Guangqiu has corrected many of his bad habits in recent years and has been working hard to build up a fortune for his son. He announced to the public that his son has sent a message back and will be back soon..."

Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't say anything, Duo Luo, who had been keeping his head down, didn't raise his head either, and continued: "That farm boy must have deliberately gone against the Liu family. Not only did he buy this house, he also used it as a wedding house.

Uncle Liu Guangqiu couldn't swallow this anger, and has been trying to build connections everywhere to get this house back..."

Jiang Yi frowned. It was true that one should not bully a young man because he was poor, but being so aggressive was a bit too much.

Just then, a servant came up, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Jiang Yi. It seemed that he knew that Jiang Yi, who was traveling in plain clothes, did not want his identity to be revealed. After bowing, he walked to Duo Luo and whispered a few words.

"Let's go and have a look."

Although the voice was very low, Jiang Yi still heard it clearly, and spoke directly without waiting for Duo Luo to ask.

"Yes." Duo Luo responded and first signaled to the servant. After the servant left, he led Jiang Yi to the destination.

There are three main residential areas in the entire Demon Realm Pass Canyon, one close to the East Demon Realm Pass, one close to the West Demon Realm Pass, and the last one is at the foot of Kongtong Mountain.

The settlement below the East Demon Realm Pass is mainly inhabited by the remnants of the Dali army. Generation after generation, their ancestors followed the Dali king's flag and garrisoned in the western border.

After the Dali royal family betrayed their oath of "the royal family guarding the country's borders", the status of these military survivors plummeted and they became impoverished.

It was not until Jiang Yi showed up in the Western Frontier and re-established the Dali King's flag that these military survivors began to live a good life. Of course, they also began to regain the glory of their ancestors and pledged their allegiance under the Dali King's flag.

Therefore, these military survivors were all loyal to Jiang Yi.

Later, many people migrated here from outside the Eastern Demon Realm and were settled in this gathering place by Prince Yi's Mansion, including Liu Guangqiu's family.

The residents of the settlements near the West Demon Realm Pass are mainly the survivors of the borderlands who were once ravaged by the border dynasties. After Jiang Yi conquered a large area of ​​grassland outside the Black Water Pass, many of the rescued survivors of the borderlands moved to the East Demon Realm Pass.

The inhabitants of the settlement at the foot of Kongtong Mountain are very homogeneous. They are all family members of the soldiers under the command of Prince Yi's Palace, covering all the military systems of Prince Yi's Palace.
