Chapter 176: Lao Ming is the emperor?
"Not only am I happy to be a father, I'm also happy to be a grandfather. I have two grandsons and a granddaughter all at once. This is a blessing that many people want but can't afford."
Zhang Xiaoxi pulled out the silver needle, stood up and spoke to Fan Tong and the others, his eyes involuntarily glancing at the children.
"Haha, he probably doesn't want this blessing very much." Xie Yuan looked at Ming Jinghuan who was lying peacefully on the ground. Based on his understanding of this guy, it was a good thing that he was not scared to death.
Fan Tong's eyes wandered between Ming Jinghuan, Ming Jingting and the three children lying on the bed. He shook his head helplessly. The world was changing too fast and he could not react.
Although he was a little confused, he still stepped forward and picked up Ming Jinghuan from the ground.
I don’t know how much suffering this guy has endured. The little flesh on his body is probably only a fraction of Zhou Xiaoyuan’s.
Fan Tong put him on the couch beside him and considerately covered him with a quilt.
It is the hottest time of the summer now, the temperature outside is at least 30 degrees, and this quilt is indeed a bit excessive.
Although Ming Jinghuan may not really need this thoughtful care, it is at least care, right?
"Miss Jiang, my father..."
Ming Jingting's eyes were full of concern and anxiety. She was ruthlessly interrupted by Jiang Si before she could finish her words.
"Stop, don't ask me. When we met him, he had lost his memory, so we don't know anything."
After Jiang Si responded to Ming Jingting, she winked at the two maids standing beside her bed. The two maids were very smart and immediately left with the dirty water and quilt, closing the door.
"You said before that you were Nan Jiang's orphan. What about him? What's his identity?"
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Jiang Si sat down beside the bed and immediately asked the doubts in her mind.
Ye Zhiming was the first to be shocked when he heard what Jiang Si said.
He was the only one among this group of people who knew more about the affairs of this dynasty, so when he heard the words "Nan Jiang's orphan", his eyes lit up.
When Ming Jingting heard Jiang Si's question, she smiled.
"I thought my father had passed away... I didn't expect to see him again in this life."
After sighing, Ming Jingting took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and tried hard to push back the two tears in her eyes.
"My father is the last emperor of Nanjiang."
Ming Jingting's voice was very soft, but just these few words shocked everyone in the room.
"What? Lao Ming is the emperor?"
Especially tacit exclamations rang out in every corner of the house.
They couldn't help but turn their heads to look in Ming Jinghuan's direction. From this guy's thin appearance, it was hard to tell that he had such a noble status.
"Isn't the last emperor of Nanjiang Emperor Ming Chengren?"
Ye Zhiming was different from the illiterate people of that era. He immediately spotted the problem.
"That was my grandfather. He had passed away when the Ye family army attacked the border of Jiang State." Ming Jingting recounted the past events that her mother had told her in her memory.
"what?"
The battle that destroyed Nanjiang was the most beautiful battle fought by Ye Zhiming's father, General Ye Zhanpeng. Ye Zhanpeng was only 20 years old that year, but he raised the reputation of the Ye family army to a new level.
So Ye Zhiming can be said to be very familiar with Nanjiang's situation, but this is the first time he has heard of this matter.
"My grandfather passed away, and the succession edict he left behind was written with my father's name on it. But at that time, he was fighting on the front lines, and the one who controlled the government was my fourth uncle Ming Jingshuo."
"In order to stabilize his father on the front line, he created the illusion that his grandfather was still alive, but in fact, the court was already his."
"Later, my father was defeated and seriously injured. His generals took him all the way back to the imperial city and rescued my mother and me, who was still an infant. When he woke up again, the imperial city of Nanjiang had already been hoisted with the flag of Daxia."
When Ming Jingting said this, she looked up at the unconscious Ming Jinghuan, her face full of heartache.
"When he learned that the city had been captured, he managed to survive. My father took my mother and me to live in seclusion in the mountains for many years. When I was ten years old, a man came. I can't remember his appearance, but I remember that he had a black mole in the left corner of his eye."
"I don't know what he said to my father. My father resolutely left me and my mother. After that, I never saw him again."
After Ming Jingting finished telling everything, she seemed to relax completely. Perhaps it was because the secret had been buried for many years and no one could tell it!
"I didn't expect that your father's martial arts skills were so high that he could defeat Ming Jinghuan?"
After listening to Ming Jingting's story, Jiang Si suddenly turned and looked at Ye Zhiming.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiming shook his head and said, "It wasn't my father who defeated him. It was my uncle who beat him so badly!"
"What? Lao Fan?"
Fan Tong exclaimed in surprise. In his memory, Old Man Fan had always been an honest and doting father. Although he had seen him show off his skills not long ago, he never expected that his martial arts skills were so high!
"My uncle was one of the top three figures on the Jianghu list back then, didn't you know?" Ye Zhiming was indeed shocked that Fan Tong didn't know about his father's past.
When Fan Tong heard this, he stared at him in amazement, "I'm just a fool, what can I know?"
This was not Fan Tong's self-mockery, but a practical answer. The original body was indeed a fool. What could he know?
"Hehe, I just forgot for a moment!" Ye Zhiming scratched his head embarrassedly after hearing his boss' words.
In fact, Fan Tong was not the only one who was shocked. Jiang Si also did not expect that old man Fan, who always had a silly smile on his face, was actually a master.
"Well, I won't waste my words with you. Since you are Old Ming's daughter, you are not an outsider." Jiang Si said as she glanced back at the three children, then turned her head and stretched out her hand to Ming Jingting and said, "Niece, I saved your life after all. It's time to bring me the treasure map you promised me, right?"
"Eldest...niece?"
Not only Ming Jingting, but everyone else was also shocked when they heard Jiang Si's words. Her identity change was too natural.
Although the name was strange, Ming Jingting did not dwell on it for too long. She then looked at her own children and waved to them.
"Xiao Ze Xiao Shu, come here, mother."
Xiao Ze and Xiao Shu immediately trotted to the bedside, and both called "Mom" sweetly.
Ming Jingting took the bald little guy from Xiao Ze's arms, put it beside her, and covered it with a quilt.
After placing the newborn baby in place, Ming Jingting pulled the two children to the bedside, made them face away from Jiang Si, and took off their clothes.
"The treasure map is on the backs of the two children."
Jiang Si looked at the two children's bare backs and frowned. Was she also nearsighted? How come she couldn't see anything?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Ming Jingshu chuckled and explained, "My mother used a special potion to tattoo them on their bodies. Sprinkle a special powder into hot water and soak for a while, and it will emerge."
