Soon the first day of the ring competition ended. Except for Li Jixin who fought with the first person who came on stage, the rest of the people who came on stage fought with Wei Qing, but no one could last more than twenty moves against Wei Qing.

After Li Jiren and others left, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Han Qingyun looked at Hai Dongqing and said, "Why don't you go find your master?"

The Saker Falcon bit the hem of Han Qingyun's clothes with its mouth. Han Qingyun pulled out his clothes, but was caught by its claws again.

Liu Minghe smiled and patted Han Qingyun: "It seems that it likes you very much."

Han Qingyun shook his head helplessly and went downstairs with the others.

The Saker Falcon kept following Han Qingyun, surprising the waiter and the customers who had not left yet. They all stepped back, fearing that the big bird would suddenly attack and hurt someone.

Seeing this scene, Lu Changping protected Han Qingyun.

Haidongqing stared at Lu Changping for a moment, and suddenly saw some snack crumbs on the table behind Lu Changping, and immediately flew onto the table.

Lu Changping thought it was going to pounce on him and was about to draw out his sword when he saw the bird happily pecking at the snack crumbs.

Not only Lu Changping was stunned, but everyone else was stunned as well. After a moment, they couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing a big bird following Han Qingyun, Zhao Xingwu was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

Lu Yanyan, Chen and others also watched in silence as the big bird entered the carriage before them.

"A bird riding in a carriage?"

Han Qingyun realized today that when birds become shameless, humans have no way to deal with them.

Han Huaixi happily hugged the Saker Falcon and shouted "Big Gray Bird". She was so happy today. Not only did she see her handsome brother, but she also saw the "Big Gray Bird" again.

Han Mingzhu was a little scared and hid beside Lu Yanyan, but when she saw Han Huaixi having fun playing with the bird, she couldn't help but touch its feathers.

The Saker Falcon was trained to be very human-like. It would ask Han Huaixi to scratch its body from time to time and was also very affectionate towards Han Mingzhu.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Xing's family stayed at Han's house all day. When they saw Han Qingyun's family coming back, although they didn't say anything, they could not hide the worry in their eyes.

"Nothing serious happened today. The Second Young Master of Prince Lin is very skilled."

"Oh, oh, okay." Lu Xing wiped his tears, but then he saw a Saker Falcon following the Second Miss. Isn't that...

Han Qingyun looked at Lu Xing and rubbed his forehead. "That stupid bird is greedy and lazy. You should get it something to eat later."

"Okay, okay." Lu Xing was a little excited and nodded quickly in response.

On the morning of the second day of the ring competition, the challengers were unremarkable, and Li Jixin was too lazy to deal with them, so he still left it to Wei Qing and the other three.

In the afternoon, a team of soldiers escorted three people to the ring: a young boy about ten years old, an old man about eighty years old, and a woman about forty years old. All three of them were crying inconsolably.

Han Qingyun and Lu Fugui stood up suddenly, their eyes full of disbelief.

The young boy was Qian Yunhao, whom they had not seen since they parted at the gate of Luocheng. The old man was his fifth uncle from Fengye Village. They did not know the woman, but she was probably also a victim from Wuping County.

Lu Yanyan and Chen from the food court next door were also worried. They had never heard that Fifth Uncle was going to be assigned to the ring.

On the ring, Li Chonglin, who was drinking milk tea and eating grilled chicken legs, raised his face and asked Li Jiren to help him wipe the corners of his mouth, then jumped in front of the three people.

"Are you three here to fight? You can't even beat me, and you dare challenge my brother Ji Xin?"

Li Jiren and Li Jixin knew that the matter was not simple, so they both stood up.

Qian Yunhao choked up as he spoke, "I am Qian Yunhao, the son of Qian Yongda, the magistrate of Wuping County. Prince Lin raised an army and massacred the entire city of Wuping County. My father sacrificed his life for his country, but his head was chopped off by Prince Lin's rebels and hung on the city wall."

My fifth uncle also cried as he said, "I am Han Shunfa from Fengye Village, Wuping County. There are more than 600 people in our village, but less than 200 escaped. The rest were all killed by the rebels of Prince Lin."

The woman cried until her voice was hoarse. "I am from Wuping County, from the Zhou Yao clan. When King Lin's army broke into the city, they burned, killed, and looted along the way. Even when we knelt down and begged them, they still wouldn't let us go. My eldest son and second son fled to protect me, and they're all gone."

After the three of them finished speaking, they cried even more heartbrokenly. One of them was a child with a young face, one was a white-haired old man, and one was a thin and frail woman. Just looking at them made people feel very sad.

Lu Yanyan, Han Qingyun and others were also very sad. They had been unintentionally involved with Prince Lin's Mansion in recent days.

At first, they were moved by the good deeds that Prince Lin had done. Later, because of the help that Li Jiren and his brother showed to Lu Fugui and Han Huaixi, they could not feel hatred towards the people in Prince Lin's mansion. Later, they were impressed by the demeanor of Li Jiren and his brother.

Although they had never forgotten the evil deeds that King Lin had done to Wuping County, they tried their best to forget about it.

Now this matter has been torn open again in bloody detail by the victims in Wuping County, making it impossible for them to forget it. Some things have happened, and no matter how they try to avoid it, they cannot change any facts.

No matter how many good deeds King Lin did in the past, the current King Lin is just an executioner who turns his knife inward!

Li Jiren felt bitter in his heart. He knew that this scene would definitely happen, but he didn't expect that Emperor Zhaowen would be so impatient and arranged this drama the next day. But he had no idea at the moment.

However, he had to continue with this conspiracy.

Prince Qing shouted angrily, "This is a fighting arena. Since you three are not here to fight, stop talking nonsense and get off the stage immediately."

Li Chonglin was also angry. He jumped up and was about to push Qian Yunhao and the other two, but was caught by Li Jiren.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Originally, because of Li Jixin's previous words, they were full of sympathy for Prince Lin's Mansion and the people of Ji Yang, but now the words of these three people made them think of the brutal massacre last year.

King Lin was once their patron saint, but now he uses the knife that he once used to protect them to stab his own people.

Sympathy for one's own kind is the norm. Wuping County's yesterday may be their tomorrow.

Li Jiren pulled Li Chonglin behind him, then bowed deeply to Qian Yunhao and the other two.

"Big brother!"

"Brother Jiren."

"Jiren."

Li Jixin, Li Chonglin and Prince Qing spoke at the same time.

Qian Yunhao, his fifth uncle, and the woman, Zhou Yao, were so frightened by Li Jiren's gesture that they retreated back repeatedly.

But how could the three of them forget the purpose of their trip just because of Li Jiren's gift?

They hated Prince Lin's Mansion and the people of Jiyang.

The three continued to cry and recount the tragic situation in Wuping County, while loudly cursing the atrocities of King Lin and the Jiyang army.

Prince Qing, Li Chonglin and Li Jixin's personal soldiers wanted to curse back, but were stopped by Li Jiren and Li Jixin. They just waited quietly.

Qian Yunhao, his fifth uncle, and Zhou Yao were all weak people. They cried and cursed, and after an hour, their voices were hoarse and they could not speak.

Li Jiren signaled the officials of the Ministry of Rites to help Qian Yunhao and the other two sit down, and then deliberately raised his voice.

"I am also deeply saddened by what happened in Wuping County a year ago. My Jiyang Army was indeed involved in this incident, but it was definitely not my father's order."

"You're talking nonsense. King Lin is the commander of the Jiyang Army. How could such a big thing possibly go beyond him?" a tall and strong man shouted.

The onlookers also echoed the voices...
