Chapter 44: Shadows
It is at the northeast pole of the world, it is a country called Dai, this season is about to enter winter, but the whole country of Dai is still a very festive atmosphere, the most difficult cold in the twelve countries does not affect the people of Dai at this time is still in a good mood, or because of the warmth that has been continuing in the city, towns and villages to cover the cold.

Just like the common perception of many Dai people now, when the popularity is strong, it will always be very warm, so the people of Dai Guo, from civil and military officials, princes and dignitaries, to squires and civilians, soldiers and farmers, are very enthusiastic about these celebrations that have been formed for more than 20 years, because this can always make the participants extremely comfortable.
Yes, it has been almost thirty years since the young queen ascended the throne, and the people who have gone through this whole process are very old, but when they look back, they still feel a dream, and a sense of pride and gratitude.
Dai Guo is still a very young country, but no Dai Guo people will doubt that now this king will surpass the previous generation of Jiao Wang, and even, countless young people of Dai Guo feel that the king of Dai Guo will not be weaker than the five hundred years of dynasty on the other side, and unconsciously, Dai has completely changed, which is an essential upward and optimistic.
Now, in the entire twelve kingdoms, there are nine countries ruled by kings, and the Qiao kingdom of the East and the West is a mediocre lord who ascended the throne after the wrong king (the overflow of the previous king), and like most of the kings in history, he has not held out for ten years, and now the new fruits are not ripe, and the situation is the worst, which is also a kind of irony.
For Dai, what needs to be more concerned is the Liubei Kingdom across the sea, just a few years ago, not even ten years, this dynasty that lasted for more than 130 years ushered in the end, at this time the Qilin of the Liu Kingdom has become an adult, but in the past few years, a new king has not been elected, a lot of Liu people flocked to Yan and Gong, and there are also many displaced people who crossed the sea to reach Dai, after all, these years, Dai's prosperity is quite famous.
In addition, it is Fang located in the northwest corner, since the death of the former Feng Wang, in the past thirty years, there has been no new Feng Wang, and the reason is also because Zeng Fang rioted, directly killed the king and Qilin, and was punished, but the good news is that at the end of last year, Fang Guo finally bore fruit on the sacrifice wood, which made the king of Gongzhou across the sea breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise with the return of Liu, Gong's burden would be too heavy.
Speaking of which, it must be mentioned that Zhu Jing, the king of Gongzhou, and Yinghua, the king of Thailand, are a very famous pair of kings among the twelve kingdoms, both are queens, both show extraordinary talents, and both ascend to the throne at a very young age, so they are often talked about together.
Huang Zhu, who has traveled to many countries, once made an evaluation, thinking that the current twelve countries, in addition to the wild goose, music, and fan, the most prosperous is Gong and Dai, and the reign is not even thirty years, but it can be compared to a hundred years of great power, which can be regarded as leaving a legend and a conversation after dinner.
Dai is most famous for its fishery, jade, and unique developed agriculture, but in addition to this, the most widely praised is Dai's folk customs, which has amazed many people and provided a lot of thinking and inspiration for many kings.
……
At this moment, in Hongji, the capital of Dai Kingdom, a large number of people gather in the extraordinarily beautiful streets decorated with cherry blossoms, and various objects symbolizing the festival appear in the alleys, or you can see the Zhu Jing troupe performing various plays, or all kinds of craftsmen.
It is worth mentioning that because Dai Guo has a very good treatment for seafarers with certain abilities, in Dai, there are a lot of visitors from other worlds, and these mountain guests or seafarers who have been displaced to Dai for various reasons have also brought a lot of new things to Dai, and many of them have even become officials.
Coupled with the widely circulated life experience of the highly respected King of Thailand, the people of Dai Guo generally have good intentions towards half-beasts and some outsiders, which also makes Dai Guo's social composition at this time quite complicated, but on the whole, it has brought very good changes.
I think that this celebration held in the early winter was first proposed by a seafarer, and this was accepted by the people in almost all parts of Dai in just a few years, red lanterns were everywhere, and the game of guessing lantern riddles from Kunlun was even more popular at this time.
But there was a moment when the people in the street leaned on either side as if they had received a signal, and those who were busy with the task at hand also stopped, gathered on both sides of the road like the crowd, quietly waiting for something, and then, at a certain moment, burst into cheers from the end of the street.
Then a wide carriage slowly drove along the street from the end, and it could be seen from the decoration of the carriage that the people on the carriage had an extraordinary status, and it was not luxurious, but the carriage carved with dragon patterns and unicorn patterns was undoubtedly only one person could ride, or it was not a person, but a god-like noble figure.
When the carriage slowly drove by, the people on the left and right all knelt on the ground together, bowing to the carriage with joy and sincerity, and each of them also saw the figure sitting on the dragon chariot, which had not changed in more than ten years.
Sakura sat calmly in this carriage that belonged to her, listening to the blessings of the people around her and the love bred in it, her expression was still the same as usual, and in her blood-colored eyes, the quiet but extensive temperament precipitated more deeply, as if she had melted into instinct.
She knows the situation of Dai very well at this moment, and single-handedly created the Sakura of Dai's current situation, of course, she understands the prosperity of the whole country at the moment, but it is precisely for this reason that her current mood can't help but be a little entangled, she doesn't know why, when she thought about this road in the past, she never thought of the situation at this time.
Sakura has never changed her mind at the time, but, at this time, she unconsciously hesitated in her heart, she has always regarded herself as the worst person, and she has never thought that it is impossible to carry out evil deeds, but now there is a certain emotion in her heart that matches the noble.
She's the king, and in this long time, more than she once remembered, she has indeed become a qualified, or excellent, king, and because of this, Sakura actually has a fear now, she is afraid of being like a person.
Now, every night, Sakura hears the countdown from the end of the afterlife in her mind, and it is also at this time that she can feel her every heartbeat, she will shrink into the quilt alone, trembling incessantly, and she spends every day like this when no one is looking.
Unconsciously, Sakura's dragon chariot crossed this street of not short length, and Sakura also returned to her usual silent posture, and with the leadership of Dazai himself, she returned to the White Guy Palace, which was the end of today's trip, in the words of the courtiers, it was an encouragement to the people and Wang De's giving.
Riding the Suyu to the door of the Baigui Palace, where the servants who had prepared early respectfully drove and saluted, and took away the tamed Suyu as a riding beast, Sakura slowly walked into the palace, all the way to her bedroom under the attention of countless palace officials, and the first to come out to greet was the one who still lived in the palace for a long time as a Taifu, taking care of Sakura's green leaves.
"Aoba, hasn't Takasato come back yet?"
After Sakura saw Aoba kneeling on the ground, she gently raised her hand and asked her to stand up, and then asked Aoba directly with her voice that had long been familiar to many people, and being treated in this way also showed that Aoba was already regarded as a very close person by Sakura, even if there was still a lot of distance, but this was already the shortest distance allowed, and no one could take a step further now.
"Taifu has been traveling for seven days, but please rest assured, I just received a message from Taifu saying that after he recovers an envoy that has been discovered, he will return from the Yellow Sea as soon as possible, and he will definitely be able to return to the palace within five days, and he will definitely be able to catch up with Daqing!"
“…… Well, I see. ”
Aoba reported the news she knew now in a gentle voice to Sakura, and after hearing her words, Sakura also nodded, and lowered her head slightly for a moment before she groaned, making Aoba feel a little strange and concerned.
"Lord, do you have anything on your mind?"
There is a lot of concern in the slightly rude voice, and this can be regarded as the special treatment that Aoba holds, after Sakura heard Aoba's inquiry, she raised her head again, with a look of nothing unusual, shook her head, and spoke.
"It's nothing, it's just that the kid in Gaoli is still so innocent, it's really a little worrying, he will eventually suffer because of this immaturity and ......"
Like a sigh, Sakura said such a paragraph calmly, and after Aoba heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then, slowly stretched his brows, replaced it with a gentle smile, bowed slightly, and then said to Sakura.
"Taifu's innocence is actually his most precious place, isn't it? Presumably, Jesus knows this very well! Besides, if it is the Lord, Taifu will trust you more than we do, and you will protect him, won't you? ”
“……”
"yes, yes......"
After looking at Aoba for a while, Sakura responded softly, and then, she slowly walked into her dormitory in her usual manner, and a trace of waves in her bloody eyes returned to calm......
