Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 377 His Identity

When the guard heard her question, he stood there like a wooden man, answering truthfully: "My master is Yue Fuli, the fifth son of the Eastern Han King of Jizhou."

Si He was a little surprised, "King of Eastern Han in Jizhou?"

The guard replied woodenly: "Yes."

Her expression was somewhat complicated. She had previously inquired about the situation in the Great Yan Kingdom over the years. Although she knew that the current situation was complicated, with the states fighting for power and being severely divided, and those in power even conferring titles of king and duke, the Great Yan Kingdom now had nine kings of different surnames, each dominating one side.

She didn't expect that Ning Ji's reincarnation had a very special identity.

"Tell me about your master's situation and the situation in Jizhou."

After hearing her words, the guard told her everything.

The current territory is under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. The four counties and twenty cities in Qingzhou are all under the control of Xishan King Chen Baixiong. The previous Chen Shisan is the son of Xishan King. Because he is the thirteenth, his peers call him Chen Shisan.

Yue Fuli was the fifth child in the Yue family and was a son born out of wedlock. However, the King of Eastern Han valued all his sons very much and was not too biased towards his legitimate or illegitimate sons. He gave them all certain powers to help him better control the territory and gain more benefits.

Nowadays, the states are competing fiercely, and everyone wants to expand their territory. They have to rely on the power of their family. Naturally, the sons have to charge into battle and do their best to seize or defend the territory.

The Great Yan Kingdom had long been out of control. In addition to wars with other countries, the civil unrest was even more serious.

In order to survive, the rulers of each state have to fight, otherwise they will be eaten up without leaving a bone.

Therefore, the King of the Eastern Han Dynasty had many children, including more than ten sons and quite a few daughters, each of whom had their own value.

Yue Fuli came to Qingzhou this time for another mission, and the inside story was not something this guard could know.

Si He asked some more related questions, but seeing that it was getting late, he stopped asking.

The guard seemed to wake up suddenly the moment he regained consciousness, and looked at the girl in front of him in some confusion. Was he distracted just now?

Si He hurriedly said, "Big brother, I forgot to pay for the tea at the restaurant..."

The guard heard her say this and realized that this was what she stopped to say?

He thought that he was distracted just now because he was a little tired from running around in the past two days.

"It's okay, let's go quickly." He urged. After sending the person off, he still had to hurry back.

Si He nodded, "Okay."

The two men trotted back on their horses, heading towards Aoki Castle. Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and they arrived in a short while.

It was nearing evening and not many people were entering the city, so the two entered the city quickly and smoothly.

The officers guarding the city were a little surprised when they saw this. Because they had a deep impression of Si He before, they thought that something would happen to her for a girl like her to go out of the city alone. Unexpectedly, she came back safely and was escorted by someone.

After entering the city, the guard insisted on taking her to her residence, and she did not refuse.

There weren't many people on the street at this time, so it wasn't too eye-catching.

However, before returning to the residence, I heard people talking inside before I even entered the door. They were men, and there were quite a few of them!

For a moment, Si He's expression turned cold.

Seeing this, the accompanying guard knew that something was wrong inside, so he tried to be a good person and went forward to knock on the door, but the door was only slightly ajar and opened as soon as he knocked.

When the door opened, I immediately saw people in the house.

It was Manager Chen from Baorong Trading Company, who came with his men.

After seeing the stunning beauty of the "exiled" Miss Guo today and being refused an invitation, Manager Chen was angry. After some thought, he decided to go to see her in person. However, Si He had already left the teahouse, so he had to grab Hong Dou and question her.

But no matter how she asked, Hongdou just said that the young lady had recovered from her illness and had gone out for something, and she didn't know when she would be back.

How can a young lady go out alone?

Even if she is an abandoned lady, she cannot be so unruly!

So they waited in this house for a long time. If it weren't for the abandoned Miss Guo's outstanding appearance, Manager Chen would not have bothered to take care of this matter!

Over the past few years, the situation in the Great Yan Kingdom has been very bad, and business has been very difficult. The Guo family has relied on marrying off their daughters many times to maintain their property. If they knew that Guo Jiaqu was so beautiful, they would definitely not let it go. Manager Chen also wanted to report this to the Guo family and gain benefits. Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Just as they were getting anxious, the door was pushed open.

The two groups looked at each other with different expressions.

"Miss Nine, you're finally back!" Manager Chen hurried over, his face filled with anxiety. But looking at the man accompanying her, he asked, "Who is this?"

Si He looked at the strange man in front of her, her eyes slightly cold. Instead of answering, she asked, "Who are you? How dare you break in?"

Hongdou, who was not far away, hurried over and said, "Miss, you're back. They, they are from the Guo family. This is Manager Chen from Baorong Trading Company."

Following Hongdou's words, Manager Chen's face became more dignified, and his eyes looking at Si He became more arrogant.

"Miss Nine, I'm worried about your safety, so I came here in person. After all, the world is in such a mess, and if anything happens to you, we won't be able to explain to the master."

As Manager Chen spoke, he looked at the guard beside her, as if hinting at something.

The guard now understood the situation clearly. Since they were one of them, he felt relieved. However, he did not say much. He just politely bowed to Si He and said, "Miss, I will take my leave."

Si He turned to look at him, bowed, and said, "Thank you for the escort."

The guard nodded, turned around, walked out the door, mounted his horse and left, taking the other horse with him.

Manager Chen looked at the guard's back, his eyes darkening slightly.

After they left, Si He said to Steward Chen, "Steward Chen is very thoughtful, coming to visit us personally. However, my humble abode is simple, so I won't entertain you unless it's something important."

What she said was quite tactful, and she didn't directly kick him out.

Guo Jiaqu has lived here for so many years, and they have only visited him once. Now they come straight to him like a cat smelling blood.

After she said that, Manager Chen looked a little uncomfortable. After all, he had neglected it before. But who could have thought that Miss Guo Jiu, who was rumored to have a face full of red envelopes, would be so beautiful?

Moreover, her words were very straightforward. In his eyes, she was being driven away without mercy. He felt a little angry at the moment, thinking that she was ungrateful.

After all, she was just a concubine's daughter who was abandoned by her family. If he didn't think she was worth using, he wouldn't have come here!

And now, she actually dared to talk to him like this. It would have been fine if she had rejected him once before, but now she is refusing to give him face again!

Does she really think she has a chance to return to the Guo family?

Manager Chen was thinking with some annoyance, his expression becoming increasingly grim. He immediately flicked his sleeves and said, "Then Miss Nine, take care of yourself."
