Chapter 988: Kingdom of Fu Xiang (1)
“Mai Ya?” Ji Fengyan looked at the adolescent girl before her, who had an air of royalty. Her eyes held a trace of uncertainty, but she deftly hid her uncertainty, and expressed sufficient goodwill.
“Mai Ya, this is the Kingdom of Hua Xia. If you come with good intentions, we will protect you. Can you tell me what trouble you have encountered?”
Many people had arrived in the few months following the establishment of the Kingdom of Hua Xia. Ji Fengyan asked Gong Zhiyu to examine the identity of these people who had fled to the Free Valley, to prevent anyone with ill intentions from infiltrating. The Kingdom of Hua Xia had an impressive deal of tolerance for those who fled to it. Besides infiltrators who harbored ill intentions, they would not accept two types of people.
One was those who had killed or abused children; The other was those who had abused women.
Gong Zhiyu’s art of verbal seduction made people truthfully recount their circumstances, without even being aware of it. No one escaped this investigation. For those who had recently joined the Kingdom of Hua Xia, the relevant personnel would observe them. After ascertaining that the person had no ill intentions, they would slowly help them integrate into this new kingdom.
However...
No matter how vicious the person was, they completely changed after staying in the Kingdom of Hua Xia for a month. They changed from a vicious person, to a polite and kind person.
Ji Fengyan did not allow Gong Zhiyu to question Mai Ya. Perhaps she saw that Mai Ya’s basic nature was not bad, and she had met with difficult circumstances.
Mai Ya’s expression still showed some terror. She carefully looked at Ji Fengyan, as if she hesitated about whether to reveal everything about herself.
The great hall was completely silent. Ji Fengyan’s gaze swept over Mai Ya’s troubled little face, then she suddenly said, “You must be tired. Why don’t you rest a while? You can tell me about it after you have rested.”
Mai Ya’s expression relaxed when she heard Ji Fengyan’s words. Meng Fusheng led Mai Ya to a room that was arranged for her, then returned by himself.
“Queen, this young lady’s background is not ordinary. I saw the people that Yang Jian dealt with—they were all well armed and were probably soldiers of some country.” Meng Fusheng spoke carefully. He did not know much about the surrounding countries and could not tell which country these people were from.
Based on Meng Fusheng’s description of the insignias on these soldiers, Gong Zhiyu could make an educated guess.
“If I’m not wrong, they are probably from the Kingdom of Fu Xiang.”
“Kingdom of Fu Xiang?” Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows slightly. She was not familiar with this name.
Gong Zhiyu looked at Ji Fengyan’s confused face and said, “The Kingdom of Fu Xiang is a small kingdom, three days’ journey away from the Free Valley. Their land area is small, and their population is around a million. It is not considered outstanding compared to the many other countries. However, because they are the nearest country to the Free Valley, I have been there twice.”
When Gong Zhiyu had been under the control of Gong Qiang, they had forced him to bring members of Zhai Xing Lou, disguised as a merchant troop, to various countries. He had exchanged resources from the Forest of Freedom for certain gold cultivation materials. The Kingdom of Fu Xiang did not have much, but it produced a lot of herbs. Because mountains surrounded it and it was geographically unique, the herbs produced by the Kingdom of Fu Xiang were much better than those from other countries. Thus, many powerful countries wished to buy herbs from the Kingdom of Fu Xiang, and they made a special effort to build relationships with it.
