Emperor Nachu was heartbroken, changed his name to Chu Sinan, founded the country of Beidi, and made a will, so that future generations must unify the north and the south, and then be eligible to restore the surname Sikong.

Zi Yao sighed for a while after reading it, but she didn't expect that this Great Liang Kingdom and Beidi would come from the same family, but the emperor's family has no family affection, so the difficulty of her task is constantly increasing.

The Great Liang Kingdom is now decaying from the inside out, and the current Liang Emperor Sikong Tuo is old, and he is no longer the resourceful Emperor of a hundred years ago, among the new generation of princes, all abilities are used in internal fighting, and most of them are insidious and cunning.

The difference between the eldest prince and the youngest is more than 30 years, and there has been no candidate for the crown prince for a long time, although the Emperor of Daliang is over sixty years old, the most taboo to talk about the prince, many princesses are used to entrap important ministers to become in-laws.

Zi Yao's eyes dimmed slightly, so it seemed that Zhou Shuyu's backstage was not the Emperor of Great Liang, nor was he the person he valued, or the person he was quite afraid of, but seeing his outstanding ability and military merits, he could not only use the method of marriage to envelop Zhou Shuyu.

Looking at the whole country of Daliang, the only person who can make him jealous and unable to encircle is only one of the Five Emperors of the same age as him-Sikong Qian.

Although this person is just an idle prince, his wisdom and strategy are not inferior to Emperor Liang, and he also invited himself to leave the palace and be a person who does not know the world.

Although he said so from time to time, Ziyao thought that the Great Liang Kingdom could hold on to this day, and this person's figure was revealed everywhere, and even the key to controlling the important ministers seemed to be in his hands.

Zi Yao put down the royal family genealogy and wild history essays in his hand, and rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, it seems that this Zhou Shuyu should be related to Sikong Qian, although he is a person who is in charge of overcoming all difficulties, he is also inseparable from the assistance of the five emperor uncles behind him.

"Sister, how do you know so many words?" Bai Yang, who was still standing on the other side of the table practicing calligraphy, kept shaking his neck, obviously he was tired, but he was still persevering.

Zi Yao beckoned, Bai Yang walked up to her, and Zi Yao massaged his neck and wrists.

"When Sister is your age, I will climb this Nanqiu Mountain every day, there is a academy on the other side of the mountain, I will listen to it secretly, I will know a lot of words when I come and go, I hope you will also go to that academy this fall.

Only when you read more books, will you have insight, you will share your worries for Sister A when you have a future interest, Sister A can't climb the mountain when she is old, and you will have to raise Sister A at that time. ”

Bai Yang raised his dark eyes, "I will study hard, and I will also be the lord of Jianing City in the future, so that we will not be bullied, we have a big house to live in, and we can redress the grievances of the poor people." ”

Zi Yao pinched Poplar's cheek, she didn't expect him to have such ambitions.

"Then you have to work hard, you have to be able to memorize these books before the autumn exam, but it's not easy!"

Bai Yang nodded seriously, "Brother Yang will work hard, please rest assured." Then he went on to practice calligraphy.

***

At dawn the next day, Ziyao headed towards the mountain forest, climbing all the way up the slope of the steep cliff.

Chen shopkeeper wants the herb, is a kind of medicinal material that began to grow after the valley rain, likes light and does not like wet, the rhizome has bulging nodules, the early spring germination leaves are narrow and slender and not easy to find, so the root system of the developed root system grows on the cliff, it is this reason that the medicine is extremely expensive.

Zi Yao looked for an hour or two and didn't get anything, drank some water and sat on the edge of the cliff to rest, at this time, it would be good if Babao was there, then there was no need to look for it yourself, if you want to get rid of such a dilemma, you can only speed up the process!

He got up and tied the rope to the trunk of the tree on the edge of the cliff, and he carefully followed the edge of the cliff to see that he was slowly leaning down, and suddenly saw a cluster of tender green seedlings on the left hand side, constantly shaking the leaves in the wind.

With a hard kick on his foot, he swung towards that place, ripped off a leaf and sent it to his nose to sniff, and a fresh smell of mint hit his heart.

Zi Yao's eyes lit up, this is a good year, it's really not easy.

Zi Yao carried the medicine shovel and kept swinging, smashing the gravel and sand around it, because they were deeply buried in the rhizome on the cliff wall, so it took extremely cautious, and it took half an hour to clean out all its roots, and carefully put it in the back basket and climbed towards the top of the cliff.

Due to the long time, Zi Yao's physical exertion was extremely great, her arms were constantly trembling, and she was exhausted when she approached the top of the cliff, and when Zi Yao grabbed the rope to reach the stone wall at the top of the cliff, a black shadow flashed on her side.

Zi Yao instantly felt cold in her wrist, and although her brain reacted that it was a silver snake, she couldn't dodge it, because dodging meant that Zi Yao would fall off the cliff.

Grabbed the rope with both arms, kicked up two steps with force, Zi Yao puffed, and fell down on the platform at the top of the cliff, the soreness on his arm had already begun to run up, and with a wave of his hand, he took the detoxification pill and Gu Yuan Dan, and took out the dagger and cut a cross wound on the arm where it was bitten.

She wanted to squeeze out the poisonous blood, but her arm no longer had any strength, because the physical exertion just now was too great, and it was impossible for it to work quickly without cultivating the detoxification pill, and gradually her consciousness was a little sloppy.

Zi Yao closed her eyes, maybe she would really die in this world.

I don't know how long it took, the cool wind blew on her face, Zi Yao's whole person seemed to be in the furnace, and a few liquids suddenly fell on her dry lips, she stretched out her tongue to sweep them away one by one, swinging her head to find a water source.

After a long time to no avail, Zi Yao opened her eyes with great effort, the sun had already set towards the western mountain, how long had she been asleep, she sat up with difficulty, and found that a lot of black blood flowed out next to her arm, and it seeped into the ground, but her arm was still black and purple.

Helplessly, she hurriedly squeezed the wound, and only stopped when the color of the blood turned bright red, crushed and sprinkled an antidote pill on the wound and bandaged the wound.

Drinking some spiritual spring water, Zi Yao seemed to have regained some consciousness, the heat on her forehead also dissipated a lot, there were no footprints around her, although she was delirious just now, but the feeling was very real, someone must have been beside her, drinking water for herself, which woke up her sleepy self.

But now is not the time to explore this, Zi Yao picked up the bamboo basket and staggered towards the bottom of the mountain, until the figure disappeared and a person fell from the tree.

This person has a handsome face, an extraordinary heroic appearance, and a black robe embroidered with gold threads on the other side, if Zi Yao stands here at this time, she will find that this person is actually the Chu Xingyuan who he treated half a year ago.

However, Chu Xingyuan at this time was very different from that time, a strand of gray hair on his forehead was extremely conspicuous, and he was wearing a purple gold crown with nine huge Dongzhu beads trembling with his movements.
