Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jian Qingqing was puzzled for a moment. At this time, she found that although the young man in front of her had a dirty face and was beaten black and blue, his facial features could be faintly seen. His eyes were not brown and black, which were common in the Central Plains, but had a faint blue color.
Even if he spoke the official language of the Great Wei Kingdom, one could hear a trace of a foreign accent in his words if one listened carefully.
This was not right.
Jian Qingqing asked seriously, “Where do you live? Tell me the truth!”
The teenager secretly glanced at Jian Qingqing. He knew that he could not hide it from her, so he said honestly, “I’m from MO Lan.”
Jian Qingqing frowned. She had heard of MO Lan before. In fact, MO Lan had been quite famous recently.
MO Lan was a country very far away from Great Wei. More than ten years ago, it was still a small country struggling on its last breath in the desert, and almost no outsiders knew about it.
However, ten years ago, a new queen took office, and MO Lan changed greatly.
It was said that this Queen was extremely ruthless. Ten years ago, she returned to the royal family to seize the throne after giving birth to a child of unknown origin. In the end, she killed her father and brother cruelly and successfully ascended the throne.
In the few years she had been in power, MO Lan’s territory had expanded several times. The surrounding small countries had either taken the initiative to attach themselves to her or were destroyed by MO Lan.
Therefore, the MO Lan Kingdom’s territory was even larger than the Great Wei Kingdom. Moreover, the MO Lan Kingdom and the wing Kingdom shared a border, and the Yi Kingdom was connected to the Great Wei Kingdom’s northern border. It was also a powerful Kingdom.
In this war, the Yi Kingdom caused a lot of damage to Great Wei.
However, ever since MO Lan Kingdom had expanded her territory to the borders of the Yi Kingdom, she had been looking for an opportunity to attack the Yi Kingdom. Thus, the Yi Kingdom could not deploy all their forces to attack Great Wei, which gave Great Wei a chance to catch a breath.
However, although MO Lan had expanded terrifyingly in the past few years and the monarch was very powerful, MO Lan was located in the desert and lacked resources. It could not be compared to the wing nation, which was rich in resources. It was impossible to cause great damage to the wing nation in a short time. Otherwise, if MO Lan continued to expand at this speed, the Great Wei would be threatened sooner or later.
However, they had to pass through the wing nation to get to the Great Wei Kingdom from MO Lan, and a young man from MO Lan appeared here.
Jian Qingqing could not be blamed for thinking too much. It really seemed like there was a conspiracy.
“How did you end up here?” she asked with a frown.
“I don’t know either,” the young man shook his head and denied.
Jian Qingqing could tell that the child was not telling the truth. She snorted coldly and said, “You don’t know? MO Lan and the Great Wei are so far apart, it’s impossible for a human trafficker to kidnap you from MO Lan, pass through the Yi Kingdom, and reach the Wei Kingdom. There’s only one possibility, tell me, who are you!’
The young man cowered. He lowered his head and bit his lips, stubbornly not saying anything.
Jian Qingqing continued, “You won’t tell me, right? Then let’s have a good talk in the prison. At this critical moment, I believe that the officials of Great Wei will definitely ask who you are.”
The teenager’s body trembled and he immediately looked at Jian Qingqing. His eyes were already filled with tears as he begged for mercy, “Don’t! I’ll tell you! My name is… Anneval, my mother is from the MO Lan Kingdom, but my father is from the Wei Kingdom. My mother refused to tell me where my father was, so I wanted to find him myself. After I took the money and came to Great Wei, I met a crippled old man on the way. I was kind enough to send him home, but he gave me a bowl of water.. After I drank it, I fainted and was kidnapped!’
