Chapter 115 Aina
The Ai family has the blood of Hu people. Strictly speaking, the Ai family in Loulan City is just a branch. After intermarrying with the people of the Western Regions, the current Ai family was formed, and its original family was far west of the Western Regions and owned a country. The head of the Ai family is Ai Na, the "Miss Ai" mentioned by Xiao Han.
Ai Nasheng had blue eyes and long hair with slightly curly hair. These were all the appearance of Hu people, but her facial features were not high noses and deep eyes, but were more similar to those of Western Regions and Central Plains people.
Aiina has half of the blood of the Hu people, and no one knows that his mother is, but her father is extremely powerful. He is a great nobleman in the extreme west. He is nominally equivalent to the "duke" of the Central Plains. In fact, he is more like a local vassal king who was in charge of military and political power in the early years. He is called the "big duke" by the Western Regions. In short, the extreme west is very different from the Central Plains. The rules are very strange. What is my vassal vassal not my vassal? It seems incredible to the people of the Central Plains. Are the subjects of the vassal kings not the emperor's subjects? It is completely unreasonable. If you say that, the Central Plains is already a county system where the imperial court has centralized power and unified the world, while the Western Plains is still a feudal system with layers of feudal divisions and is still in charge of their own affairs. No wonder it is a barbarian land.
The main hall of the Ai Family and the Central Plains architecture are not very yin and yang. The dome is arc-shaped and huge chandeliers are hung. The windows are not paper-paste, but are extremely luxuriously made of stained glass. The moonlight shines through the small pieces of glass inlaid with lead strips on the window, shining on the marble floor, leaving behind shadows.
Aiina, wearing a red dress, looked a little nervous and looked at the two figures standing at the threshold.
One of them was Li Shixing, the envoy who helped her ambush Xiao Han. The thirteen long swords behind her seemed to be spreading their tails. At first glance, it looked a bit funny, but Aina knew the strength of this great envoy and dared not say that she swept across Loulan City, which was also a match for the drought.
The reason why Aiina got to know and associate with Li Shixing was due to her father.
The rules of the extreme west are very different from those of the Central Plains.
In the Central Plains, one couple has more concubines. The children born by the wife are born by the legitimate wife, and the children born by the concubine are born by the concubine. The concubines are divided into "noble concubines" and "noble concubines". "noble concubines" are concubines that are married to the Ming Dynasty, and there is also a family behind them. However, the family is not as good as the wife, and they cannot be treated as a good wife. Although their status is not as good as the wife, they cannot be dealt with at will. This is the origin of the battle between wives and concubines. Concubines who can fight with the wife are all "noble concubines". They also have sons, and the sons are successful and famous. The mother is noble because of the son, which can be regarded as "noble concubines". In addition to these two types, other concubines, maids who take over the house, famous prostitutes who take over the good, and widows who take over are all "noble concubines".
Children of illegitimate children should call their wife the mother and their biological mother the concubine. Generally speaking, the heirs will make legitimate sons. First, if they have legitimate sons, they will find one from the illegitimate sons to raise them in the name of the legitimate sons and serve as legitimate sons. There is another situation, that is, the outer room, the so-called outer room, is a lover who is raised outside without a name, and does not enter the genealogy. The sons born in the outer room are both illegitimate sons, but the Central Plains emphasize that their own flesh and blood must be recognized by their ancestors and their descendants. If they do not have a son and are unwilling to adopt a nephew as their son, then the illegitimate sons can also inherit the family business. In summary, first, the wife gives birth to a son, second, the concubine gives birth to a son, and then the maid gives birth to a son, and finally the illegitimate sons. "The girl raises a son" means that the maid gives birth to a son, which is actually a swear word.
The situation where the Li family in Donghai inherits the family business with their adopted son and son-in-law is an exception, so it is difficult to generalize.
The rule in the western region is monogamous, and no concubines are allowed, but only lovers. Because there is no concubine, there is no difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the eldest son inherits the system. The children born to lovers are illegitimate children. The illegitimate children have the right to inherit the mother and the father has no right to inherit the father. Even if the father has no children, the family business and title are inherited by the nephew, they cannot fall on the illegitimate children.
Aiina is an illegitimate daughter. She could not inherit her father's family business and title, and was not even recognized by her family, so she could only go to the Western Regions. Fortunately, her father liked her very much and gave her great help. Not only allowed her to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, but also helped her to find a strong enough backer and ally.
That is the Yin-Yang Sect.
Her father and Earth Master were friends who had known each other for many years. She met Uncle Xu when she was a child, and Uncle Xu even gave her a jade pendant. But she didn't expect that Uncle Xu had such great power in the Central Plains and had such a powerful subordinate.
Li Shixing won't say anything. The man next to Li Shixing had a blue-white face, tall figure, black clothes and white hair, which reminded Aina of the old housekeeper beside his father. Both of them were equally mysterious and powerful. According to his father, this old housekeeper who had served three generations of the family was a real immortal seed, feeding on blood and had survived for seven hundred years. The reason why he was loyal to Aina's father was because Aina's great-grandfather protected him and allowed him to escape the trial of the Holy See.
Aiena took a few steps forward and could see the two of them.
The two were looking into the direction of the Helian family, with a bit of solemn expression.
Feeling Aina's gaze, the white-haired old man smiled, did not turn to look at Aina, and whispered: "Miss Ain, don't be nervous."
Aiena nodded and asked carefully: "Have you not asked for advice yet, your name?"
"Miss Ai is not from the Central Plains, so I don't care about the red tape of the Central Plains. Miss Ai can just call me Zhong Wu." The old man replied, "Among the ten Ming officials of the Yin-Yang Sect, I rank second, and Brother Shixing ranks fourth."
Aina asked, "Where is that person?"
"He." Zhong Wu's expression became complicated and he glanced at Li Shixing, "No matter what, he is considered a junior of Brother Shixing, so let's talk about it."
Li Shixing smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhong made fun of me, how could I dare to have such a junior? Li Daoxu would not recognize me as my junior brother, and Li Xuan would not recognize me as my uncle."
Aiina knew the man's name and asked curiously: "Since they are younger generations, why are they so afraid of him?"
Li Shixing sighed, "There is a saying in the Central Plains that is called 'The next wave pushes the previous wave'. Although this person is a junior, he is much better than our predecessors. Looking at the younger generation today, this person is the well-deserved first person. No one can compete with him, and it is difficult to beat him. If we count all the older generations, not many of them are his opponents, and we should not be underestimated."
Zhong Wu said: "It's a pity that he was unable to get rid of him while the weather was not achieved."
Li Shixing shook his head and said, "It would be hard to buy a lot of gold."
Aiina said again: "Is this the one who rescued Xiao Han before before?"
Li Shixing nodded and said, "It was him. At first I was also hidden from me, but Miss Shangguan recognized him. Unfortunately, Miss Shangguan..."
Zhong Wu sneered: "Impatient and rash, I have become a prisoner for others again."
Li Shixing sighed, very helpless.
Zhong Wu continued: "After the White Emperor Mausoleum was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty official expected that Li Xuan would not give up and would definitely follow him to Loulan City. It is true. For this reason, Sanming official set up a formation in the Ai family and Helian's family. If Li Xuan insisted on breaking through, he would definitely not be able to stop this expert on the Taixuan List, but if he wanted to hide his traces and sneak into it, he would never succeed."
Aiina thought for a while and pointed it straight at the critical point, "Are you going to kill him?"
Zhong Wu couldn't help but laugh and said, "The person who can kill him doesn't want to kill him, and the person who wants to kill him can't kill him. This is where the root of the knot is."
Aiina is also a smart person, and soon figured out the key point, "Is Uncle Xu not wanting to kill him?"
Zhong Wu couldn't help but look at the noble lady of Hu and praised: "Miss Ai can see thoroughly. If we can kill Li Xuandu, the Earth Master will not blame him. The key is that we cannot kill him. Of course, the Earth Master can kill Li Xuandu, but the Earth Master just doesn't kill him, but instead shows kindness to him repeatedly and wants to win him over."
Aiina asked curiously: "Why didn't Uncle Xu kill him?"
Zhong Wu sighed, "If we could understand the thoughts of Dishi Master, we would not be so entangled."
Li Shixing suddenly said, "Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. No matter what, Master Di has never said in person the saying "You can't kill Li Xuandu". If you can kill him, it would be a merit or a fault. As for how to kill him, I agree with Miss Shangguan's idea, and you have to try it out before you know it."
Zhong Wu was so funny: "It's good to be successful, but if it doesn't work, there will be two more prisoners."
Li Shixing joked: "Aren't two dead bodies? One prisoner is enough. Men are always pitying and willing to give women a way out, but they are not so easy to talk to us two old men."
Zhong Wu said: "Diet will not die. With the Ming Dynasty official's support, it is not that easy to die."
Li Shixing said: "'Indra' has reached a critical moment. The Ming and Sanming officials are staring there, afraid they have no time to clone them."
Zhong Wu said: "The main person in charge of this matter is the Sanming official. The Ming official is just a guardian. The Sanming official naturally cannot move easily, but the Ming official can be taken out."
Li Shixing asked tentatively: "Then let's give it a try?"
Zhong Wu smiled and said, "That's what you mean."
After the words came, Aiina found that there were many figures outside the door that were almost integrated with the night. She looked carefully through the moonlight and saw thirteen people, all wearing black clothes, with stiff faces, and faint black flames burning in her eyes.
Zhong Wu looked at the thirteen figures and whispered: "With these thirteen sword slaves, Brother Shixing can form a sword formation, which is temporarily comparable to the realm of heaven and man creation. It is said that the number of three or three is enough, and the addition of the two of us is enough."
Li Shixing nodded and said, "This is natural."
After saying that, the two disappeared together with the thirteen sword slaves, as if they were in the dark shadow.
