Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 758
The eyes of the young man in sacrificial attire on the stage looked down quietly, his eyes seemed to be real.

The expressions of the other common people cheered up, and they followed his gaze expectantly.

All eyes focused on the group of teenagers and girls standing under the big tree.

Ji Qingyuan, Chen Zichu and the others froze, looking left and right.

A young man under the tree covered his stomach, wondering if he could say that his stomach hurts.

For some reason, Ji Ange felt that Li Ji's gaze was very close to a position beside her. She followed his gaze, but was shocked to find the place she was looking at on the stage...

It was actually among them.

The girl's eyes moved inch by inch along the direction Li Ji was looking at, and then... looked at her side in disbelief.

Other common people also saw that person.

"Soochow stepson?"

"Does the stepson of Soochow know the whereabouts of the county king?"

No one has guessed in that direction until now, which is really embarrassing to the limit.

Brother, I will hate you.

Looking at the doubtful or disbelieving eyes projected from his body, Zhao Guang's throat groaned.

"Huh?" Ji Ange was taken aback, and looked at Zhao Guangdao with some dissatisfaction, "So you really know the king of Dongling County?"

Hehe, how could he not know.

Forget it, after all, he himself agreed, no matter how embarrassing... the worst ending would be to be chased and killed by Ji Jiashu to the end of the world.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes. If he doesn't get stabbed, whoever gets stabbed.

Zhao Guang took a deep breath and put his hands into his arms.

"Master Tian? Are you talking?" Looking at the silent young man beside him, Ji Ange frowned, "Who is the king of Dongling County..."

However, the next moment, the girl's voice paused.

Ji Ange's eyes widened in astonishment.

Because at this moment, she looked at the young man beside her who was always making jokes and never looked serious, and took out a blue jade pendant from her bosom.

Because he was standing close, Ji Ange clearly saw a dragon engraved on the jade pendant.

The dragon claws are sharp, the dragon whiskers are lifelike, and the dragon scales emit a faint light.

This is……

Qinglong?

Ying Baoyue on the stage stared at this scene, and suddenly raised her head to touch the earring on her ear.

A jade vessel engraved with the totem of the Eight Beast Gods, which is the symbol of the royal family on the Mountain and Sea Continent.

"You..." Ji Ange watched in a daze as Zhao Guang gently tied the cyan jade pendant around his waist. The next moment he raised his head, the expression on his face had completely changed.

He is no longer the laughing and joking boy who wanders the countryside.

"Sorry, I will explain it to you later." Zhao Guang looked at the other stunned teenagers around him, and nodded slightly.

The next moment Zhao Guang looked up at Li Ji who was also looking at him on the high platform, took a deep breath and walked forward.

Seeing the young man stepping up to the high platform step by step and the blue jade pendant swaying around his waist, the expressions of the people in the audience changed from stunned to shocked.

"Soochow stepson..."

"Wait, isn't Dong Wu's stepson surnamed Tian? Isn't it said that he is the son of Dong Wu Da Sima?"

"My surname is not Tian."

And at this moment, Zhao Guang, who was standing still on the high platform, raised his head quietly, looked at Ji Mo who was opposite, and also looked at the people below the stage and said lightly, "My surname is Zhao."

Zhao.

Ying Baoyue's eyes lighted up.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Guang!"

This is what Qian Qin said to the young man dressed as a rich man with a smile when he met her for the first time.

The relaxed and casual style, the relaxed and casual self-introduction, and the name without much momentum made people... not think much at all.

She knew from the very beginning that Zhao Guang's surname was Zhao, but... as she once said to Murong Heng, if the royal family can be judged only by the surname alone, there are many royal children around her.

These words... did not expect the result to be a prophecy.

"Zhao..."

"The surname of Soochow..."

"but……"

There was a burst of exclamation and unexpected voices from the people in the audience.

However, compared to surnames like Ji Yingjiang, the surname Zhao is not uncommon, so Ying Baoyue didn't pay much attention when she learned about it from the beginning.

However, the most important reason why I have not been able to pay attention to it is actually...

Looking around and seeing that it was so clear, the common people and people who knew the boy still resisted guessing in that direction, Ying Baoyue slightly raised his forehead.

This Soochow boy...it's really hard to think of the royal family.

Seeing the strange expressions of people around him staring at him, Zhao Guang became embarrassed again.He felt that he could hardly hold on to this airs, but looking at the eyes of Ji Mo opposite him, he could only hold on.

"My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Guang."

Zhao Guang coughed and said quietly, "The second son of the former Southern Chu royal family, and now the younger brother of the Southern Chu king, is named Dongling."

"I am the king of Dongling County."

The young man took a deep breath, looked up at Ji Mo and said, "National Teacher of Southern Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

When the young man with the blue jade pendant on the stage spoke, all the people gasped.

"Soochow's stepson is the king of Dongling County?"

"Wait," an elderly practitioner murmured, "Is it the original Second Prince of Soochow?"

Ying Baoyue's eyes lighted up.

The King of Soochow originally conferred by Emperor Taizu passed away four years ago, and his eldest son succeeded him. Because he passed away not long ago, many people's knowledge of Soochow is still the same as that of the previous generation.

It's just... the second prince?

Ying Baoyue looked at Li Ji who was standing beside Zhao Guang.Zhao Guang is the second prince, and the current Soochow King was the eldest prince back then, so who is the second brother that Zhao Guang is talking about?
At this time, she vaguely remembered that when Soochow announced the good news to the court, it seemed that it was mentioned that Soochow King had only two sons.

only……

Before Ying Baoyue could think about it, the discussion from the audience interrupted her thoughts.

"So it's the Second Prince of Soochow..."

"I heard that the second prince's background isn't a little... he was named the county king?"

"It's really because there is no one in the royal family of Soochow... I heard that the current king of Soochow has always refused to accept a concubine. It's just..."

Hearing these discussions, Zhao Guang's eyes darkened, but he recovered quickly, and grinned at Ying Baoyue who was watching him.

"What's the matter, are you scared by my identity?"

Ying Baoyue shook her head, looked at the boy in front of her who seemed to be indifferent to the eyes that gave her a reflection when she first met, and pursed her lips tightly.

The princes must all have the same father. When it comes to family background, the problem can only come from the mother clan.

his mother...

"You're not scared?" Zhao Guang shook his head in disappointment, and looked at Ying Baoyue, who was about to continue joking, when Ji Mo's cold voice came from the young man's ear.

"Enough, this is not a place for you to play around," Ji Mo stared at Li Ji and said coldly, "It turned out to be him. But even if the county king is here, so what?"

The man sneered, "It's just a barbarian's son, he can decide his own marriage?"

Zhao Guang and Li Ji's eyes turned cold at the same time.

"National Master of Southern Chu, please be careful with your words." Li Ji said coldly, "Our county king of Soochow has not yet reached the level where the national teachers of other countries can insult us."

"Okay, I don't propose to get married," Ji Mo looked at Zhao Guang who was standing next to Ying Baoyue, "The younger brother of King Dongwu wants to marry the former Princess Qin?"

"You have to limit your jokes." Ji Mo smiled instead of anger, and sneered, "Can Zhao Muren agree?"

Zhao Muren.

Hearing this name, Ying Baoyue's eyes froze for a moment.

Ji Qingyuan, who was standing under the stage, was taken aback for a moment, and his expression suddenly became indescribable.

In this world, probably only the Southern Chu State Master dared to call the King of Soochow by his name, because to him, the young man who was the second generation king was considered his junior.

The great prince of Soochow back then is now the new king of Soochow.

Zhao Muren.

But when Ji Qingyuan was young, he also heard a person call that monarch by his name.

"Zhao Muren!"

Accompanied by the girl's soft drink in memory, Ji Qingyuan's expression in the audience became more and more exciting.

As the saying goes, the past cannot be recalled...

After reacting, Ying Baoyue looked at Zhao Guang in front of him belatedly and asked.

"Are you... Zhao Muren's younger brother?"

　Knowing who Zhao Muren was, I couldn't breathe from laughing.

　　Zhao Muren's name is quite special, and I hesitated when I chose it, but in a sense, it can be said to be the most Spring and Autumn and Warring States style name.For example, Qin Shihuang's father, King Qin Zhuangxiang, was originally named Yiren.
