Chapter 33: Du Jiang's Shocking Remarks about the Shi Family Sisters
Du Yu heard from the side that his brother Du Jiang seemed to have complaints about Wu Weiyi's statement, so he argued with him seriously:
"Brother is such a bad word. Yuer thinks that although Mr. Wu's words are bizarre, they make some sense when you think about it carefully. Since my brother does not know the background of the Divine Cult, how can he tell the truth or falsehood of what Mr. Wu said?"
When Du Jiang saw that Du Yu believed Wu Weiyi's words, he said unhappy:
"This thief said the Divine Cult so mysteriously, but he didn't know who the sect leader of the Divine Cult is now? How could this thief say so mysteriously and complicatedly?"
When everyone heard Du Jiang say this, there was another commotion below. Du Jiang also took out a jade pendant from his sleeve. He saw that the jade pendant was the same shape as the piece that Mo Zhai stole from the mysterious camp on the other side of the Jingma River! Du Yu, Mo Zhai and Wu Weiyi were both shocked at the same time. Du Jiang continued to whisper to Du Yu:
"Do Yuer still remember this thing?"
Du Yu raised his hand and pointed at the jade pendant. His fingers trembled slightly:
"This...isn't this a clan relic of the Shi sisters? Why does it have a piece in the hands of the elder brother?!"
After saying that, Du Yu also took out the jade pendant from his sleeve, and everyone was shocked when they saw it:
"This...what are these two pieces? Why do they both hold one in their hands?"
Du Jiang was also shocked by the jade pendant in Du Yu's hand. He never expected that Du Yu had a jade pendant like him in his hand. Before Du Jiang could speak, Du Yu asked Du Jiang first:
"Brother, where did the jade pendant in your hand come from? Could it be that Sister Shi gave it to you?"
Du Jiang shook his head and said to his sister:
"I don't know the details, but two years ago, Master Zhu Tian... Oh, that is, the man with a bronze mask who was defeated by you at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Two years ago, he tried every means to find me and said that there was something important to discuss. Then I met him privately, but when this person came, he took out this object and gave me a look. When the brother saw it, he realized that this object was the jade pendant carried by the sisters of the Shi family, so he asked about this person..."
When Du Yu heard this, he hurriedly asked loudly:
"Sisters of the Shi family left us a few years ago! But their brother said that they suddenly sent someone to find their brother two years ago? This matter... is quite strange! I don't know why? Where are they now settled?"
Du Jiang glanced around the statue and coughed a few times to indicate that there were many noisy people here and it was not advisable to say much. Du Yu understood Du Jiang's actions, so he waved his hand to make the left and right retreat.
"Princess! Du Jiang...what if he takes the opportunity to be unfavorable to the princess...it doesn't matter?"
Zijuan hurriedly covered her ears beside Du Yu and said in a low voice. However, Du Yu smiled at Zijuan, shook his head and replied to her:
"It's okay, don't worry, sister, just don't worry. I still understand my brother's character. Although he has always liked to be competitive and brave, he is still a person who can defend the righteousness. In such an occasion, he will never be detrimental to me."
Seeing that the princess said this, Zijuan stopped talking and led the guards down the city tower. Wu Weiyi felt that it was not convenient for them to participate in the conversation between the brother and sister, so she made a gesture with Mo Zhai and asked him to retreat with him.
"Mr. Wu, please wait! It is related to Mr. Wu's reputation, so please stay and discuss with me."
Wu Weiyi bowed back and was about to bow and say goodbye, but the princess called him again. However, Du Jiang was shocked when he heard this:
"Yu'er can't make a fuss! The matters of the Shi sisters are at risk of the Shu Kingdom, so you must not tell them to outsiders! What's more, this cunning person who is unknown to us!"
Du Yu disagreed and took very floating small steps slowly and walked towards Wu Weiyi.
"After several years of experience, I believe in Mr. Wu's talent and virtue. Nowadays, China in Shu is complicated and its national situation is as dangerous as it is. Mr. Wu is a talented person in the world and has the ability to contribute to the country. Please help us overcome this disaster together!"
Seeing this, Wu Weiyi quickly bowed to the princess and lowered her head. However, she did not dare to confront the princess, nor did she dare to say too much, but just stood there.
Seeing this situation, Mo Zhai laughed out loud. Wu Weiyi lowered his head and glanced at him with a squinted look, and Mo Zhai stopped smiling abruptly.
"Ah... Since that's the case, Mo Zhai will leave for the time being."
After Mo Di said that, he retreated alone. After a while, only Du Jiang, Du Yu and Wu Weiyi were left on the city tower. Seeing that there was no one around, Du Yu said to Du Jiang:
"Now there is no one else. Can the elder brother tell the truth about the Shi sisters?"
Du Jiang looked at Wu Weiyi again, and although he was a little unhappy, he still spoke:
"Does sister know the true identity of the Shi sisters?"
When Du Yu saw his brother asking like this, he immediately replied:
"Yu'er only knows that they are descendants of Zhoushi. As for where they are from, I have asked them many times before, but they are always silent."
Just now, Wu Weiyi interrupted:
"If Wu was not mistaken, these two women should be the daughters of Ji Chao, the royal family of Zhouzong?!"
When Du Jiang heard what Wu Weiyi said, he was shocked. He stepped forward without saying anything and clasped his fists and lifted Wu Weiyi's collar:
"How did you know! Who told you about these!"
Wu Weiyi broke Du Jiang's fist away:
"Wu has already said before that Wu is a future person. Some things nowadays will come from the history books. I can understand the prelude to it, but nothing strange! In the Zhou Dynasty, Prince Chao fled to Chu State, but Chu State was attacked by Dongou Wu State, and eventually Prince Chao was also killed. The princess said that they were the daughters of Zhou Zong and fled all the way to this. Isn't it just right for them? Why do you need others to tell them about these?"
As soon as Wu Weiyi said this, Du Jiang was stunned. At first, he didn't believe that Wu Weiyi would have traveled here from the future as he said. Not to mention Du Jiang did not believe it, even Du Yu could only say that he was half-believing and half-doubted. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that everything is confirming that Wu Weiyi's quirky words are reasonable.
Although Du Jiang was surprised at this time, he didn't care much about it and continued to say:
"He said it was indeed true. The Shi sisters were indeed descendants of King Ji Chao of Zhou. But in fact, in addition to being King Zhou, Ji Chao also had another identity, which was the previous sect leader of the Zoroastrian Fire God Sect. Later, King Ji Chao of Zhou was defeated by the Wu army, and he burned himself to Nanyang. His two daughters were secretly escorted out. Now the Shi sisters inherited the throne of his father, but were chased by the people of Wu. The situation was extremely dangerous. So the Shi sisters sent Zhu Tian to come to seek help with this token, and their brother also knew that the Shu Kingdom was in a single state.
With weak strength, now there are dangers everywhere. Therefore, only by cutting off the source of the disaster in Shu Kingdom as soon as possible can my brother travel east to help Xiao Shi'er! Yu'er, although the Shi sisters and you and me are not blood-related, they have a childhood sweetheart after all! What's more... I believe Yu'er also knows that his brother and Xiao Shi'er have long been in love for life. No matter what her identity is, I only recognize her!... My brother didn't want Yu'er to get involved together before, but now that's it, he has to explain the whole story to Yu'er no matter what!"
Wu Weiyi looked surprised when he heard this, and he muttered in his heart:
"Ji Chao, King of Zhou?..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Although Wu Weiyi gradually gained a vague understanding of the Zoroastrian Vulcan Cult through these scattered information, he also felt that the Divine Cult was even more confusing.
"So, based on this, Your Highness asserted that what Wu said was all false?"
Wu Weiyi asked Du Jiang on the side. However, Du Jiang was not polite and still responded fiercely:
"Isn't it? You said that the Zoroastrian God Cult was created by pioneers, but now the big and small sect leader of the Divine Cult is the Shi sister who was childhood sweethearts with my brother and sister. Let's talk about it, where is the pioneer you mentioned?"
Wu Weiyi lowered his head and carefully sorted out his thoughts in his mind. He only felt that some things Du Jiang said were unreasonable.
"Your Highness, Wu thinks this matter is quite strange! ... Your Highness also knows that the current Zoroastrian God Cult is spread all over the Jiuzhou like sparks. Why does Ji Chao, as the sect leader, need to run away with the tripod to escape from Chu?... In the civil strife of the Zhou royal family more than ten years ago, Ji Chao ultimately failed to inherit the throne and eventually died in a foreign land! If he is really the sect leader of the sect, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?"
