Chapter 2 Jin Li Huan. Tokyo
It was already the middle of February, and the fog was shrouded in Tokyo for several days, and the entire royal city was foggy, but this fairyland-like beauty could not help but add a bit of gloom and heaviness at the moment. The fog www.biquge.info provided excellent weather conditions for the Yuan army to raid the royal city, but in one night, the 200,000 yuan army broke through the city and swarmed in.
It's worthy of the Wolf Tooth Army!
Most of the people calmly accepted the new emperor into the royal city, and the original ruler of Zhao was mediocre and the court was rotten. It is precisely because it is in a royal city where there are many nobles, and under exploitation, the people live more difficult.
What's more, the new emperor Tuoba Jin is known for treating the people well, perhaps because this reckless Rongma Emperor knows that the people are not easy, and he knows how to subdue the people and the rebel army better than any emperor. I thought that the Wolf Tooth Army was just a few scattered armies, but after the new emperor took over, this army was quickly organized, the military regulations were strict, and the combat effectiveness was terrifying.
Since decades of war, everyone has become accustomed to the change of dynasties, and when Tuoba Jin was proclaimed emperor, there were still countless people waiting to see this young emperor die as quickly as those reckless emperors in the past. Unexpectedly, the development of things went against his imagination, and the new emperor not only subdued several surrounding kingdoms one after another, but now even the largest kingdom in the south, the Zhao Kingdom, has been included in his pocket.
Speaking of this new emperor Tuoba Jin, he is also a great legend.
He was born in a small village in the south of the Yangtze River in Zhao State, his father was just a teacher, and he lived alone with him, but he didn't expect that his mother would later marry the emperor's brother King Qiyang. The king of Qiyang had no son, so he took him into the palace, and at this time he was already twelve years old, and everyone could see at a glance that this young and old boy was different and talented. King Qiyang cultivated him as a prince and prepared to call him to inherit the throne in the future.
How could I have thought that this stepson was extraordinary, he had no intention of the throne, but he wanted the throne, betrayed Zhao at the age of twenty, and went all the way north to subdue the Yuan State, and since then the growth speed has been out of control.
Now when everyone talks about Tuoba Jin, they all have a secretive expression, folklore, he is the god of war in the sky.
Seeing that the Yuan Kingdom has faintly shown the momentum of dominating the world, the remaining few countries are like burning eyebrows, and now they have abandoned all past grievances and united against the Yuan Kingdom.
At this moment, in the Chaoyang Palace in the palace of King Zhao, a group of Zhao royal families dressed in plain clothes knelt silently in front of the ancestral tablet, and the hall was filled with intense sadness, and some people couldn't help crying lowly.
"Shut up!" The eldest princess of Zhao Guo Ji Long let out a low snort, her voice was clear and beautiful, but at this moment it was full of indescribable tenacity and determination.
She was plain white, her long hair was sprinkled on the ground like splashing ink, and her back was as straight as a green pine.
Although the king of Zhao was mediocre on weekdays, he was martyred when the city was broken, and the queen naturally did not dare to live secretly, and both committed suicide, which made people have a different view of this monarch.
Now there are only a few royal families left, and last night the palace city was in chaos, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs, including concubines, fled out of the palace privately, but were intercepted and killed by the wolf tooth army on the way. Everyone in the palace cried for their father and mother, but the eldest princess Ji Long became tough and became the backbone of the remaining people.
Now that the kingdom of Zhao has fallen and the kingdom has been broken, they all have to stay in this dilapidated and desolate palace before Tuoba Jin arranged for them to go to other places.
"What about the Ninth Princess?" Ji Long asked Mama Li beside her in a low voice, her voice was low, and her beautiful face had grief and exhaustion that could not be hidden, she had not slept or eaten for a day and a night, not only she but everyone else at this moment.
"Back to the princess, the ninth princess seems to be in her own palace." Mama Li replied respectfully, she is a person who practices martial arts, and her martial arts are top, but she is not very tired at the moment, and her eyes are still shining.
Speaking of the ninth princess, the people next to her secretly frowned, the tenth princess Ji Rui has always been delicate and straightforward, and she can't help but speak in her brain, and at this moment her tone is hateful and angry, "How can that slut still remember that she is a princess?" I don't know where to be happy at the moment! β
Her delicate and immature face was distorted with hatred.
Ji Long glanced at her indifferently, and said without emotion, "She is the most beautiful of the sisters." β
This is a declarative sentence, the voice does not fluctuate, listen carefully, you can hear the chill in the voice.
Ji Rui was speechless when the eldest sister said this, although she was unwilling, she couldn't deny that the ninth princess had a vixen face, no, even a face more beautiful than a vixen.
This ninth sister, who only entered the palace at the age of twelve, was clearly born by the warlock that this was the daughter of a dead country, and her father sent her outside the palace, who would have thought that she would use what means to let her father welcome her into the palace!
That strange man...... How can there be such strange people in the world......
She thought hatefully.
However, the tree is very popular, and her appearance is peerless, if it was good in the past, it is definitely not a good thing at this moment.
According to the custom, these subjugated countries must offer at least one princess to the palace, some to the princes and ministers, and some to be left in Tuoba Jin's harem.
However, in the face of their enemies, they can't wait to drink blood and eat flesh, how many can really get better?
There is no shortage of people who want to return to the country, and with such relatives, these concubines have only one way to die.
"Go and get her." Ji Long said coldly.
"Yes." Mama Li blessed her body and left quickly.
With the winding palace wall close to her, Mama Li's movements were swift and fast, she looked at this gloomy and silent palace city, remembered the prosperity and extravagance of the past, and her eyes couldn't help but deepen her desire to return to the country.
Thinking like this, her steps became bigger and faster.
ββ
Xianglan Hall is located in the southeast corner of the palace, and according to feng shui, it is considered to be a place where the feng shui of the palace is extremely poor. Not even a hundred meters away is the cold palace, but unbelievably, this is the bedroom of the princess of a country.
It is said to be a dormitory, but it is not at all as gorgeous and exquisite as a royal palace should be. Elsewhere is the glazed tile, the eaves flow pavilion, the jade step lacquer gold pillar, the dark fragrance is purple smoke, the golden silk nanmu plaque, but here is the green tile and green brick, planted a lot of Xiangfei bamboo, is a rare cold and secluded in the palace.
In the dim daylight, I saw a small snow-white figure passing by like lightning and quickly entering the Xianglan Palace.
"Squeak-" The snow white fell under the window, and it turned out to be a fluffy round snow fox, its beautiful and smooth fluff was wet at the moment, and it was also stained with a lot of mud.
"Chicken, are you willing to come back?" A slender jade hand lifted the neck of the snow fox, and the voice of the owner who spoke was extremely gentle, but it made the chicken's feathers stand up.
"Squeak-" The chicken shook its legs.
"What do you say? You ate the mandarin ducks raised by the eldest princess? Ji Li raised her eyebrows when she heard this, as if she was smiling, and put her whole face in front of the chicken, and saw that the chicken became a cross-eyed because of her eyes, so she said gloomily: "Wow!" Now she's going to find fault again, you're doing a good job, huh? β
"Squeak-" Hearing this, the chicken couldn't help but pull down his whole ears, looking like a tsundere who didn't listen to me and didn't listen.
"What? You actually brought Tuoba Jin here? Ji Li's eyes rolled angrily, and he threw the chicken aside angrily, and sneered, "You did a good thing, you just wait for three days without fish to eat!" β
"Squeak-" the chicken retorted hurriedly.
"You actually said you were going to Qinglian Pond to catch fish?" Ji Li turned his entire eyeball to the Tianling Gai, leaving only the white of his eyes, "You go, less than fifty meters from the Qinglian Pond, you will be stewed by the Wolf Tooth Army." β
"Squeak-" The chicken arrogantly ignored her.
Ji Li glanced at the chicken hatefully, simply broke the jar, and went back to bed to lie down and pretend to sleep.
Tuoba Jin......
She curled her lips and smiled heartlessly.
ββ
Tuoba Jin was lured by a fox, on the way back to the dormitory, a snow fox suddenly burst out like lightning, the snow fox is an extremely rare thing, haunted the top of the snow-capped mountain, and some people even worship it as a god.
Legend has it that when the snow fox is infested, there will be an avalanche, and the sky and the earth will change color.
Now that it is here, it has to make people think about it.
Zhang Fangyu, the commander of the patrol battalion, was following behind Tuoba Jin at the moment, and as soon as the snow fox appeared, his expression was also tense instantly, and almost the next moment, he knelt down and asked for orders.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that something is wrong, please catch this snow fox."
"Not necessarily." Tuoba Jin is clear and low, he is slender in a dark brocade robe, although he is now an emperor, his black hair is only tied up with a delicate silver hairpin.
There was a glint in his amber eyes.
"Snow fox is too fast, I'll go myself."
Zhang Fangyu lowered his head, revealing a look of shame. Although he is the commander of the patrol battalion and the commander of 50,000 people, his skills are hard to find in the world, but every time he makes a move with His Majesty, he will be defeated within a hundred moves, let alone light skills. His agility and speed are okay to chase the cheetah, but it is extremely difficult to chase the elusive snow fox.
"Yes." He gave the order.
Before the words fell, Tuoba Jin's ghostly figure also flashed by like lightning and disappeared in an instant.
It is worthy of being a snow fox, the speed is unparalleled, Tuoba Jin thinks that he has made great achievements, but chasing this snow fox is lagging behind after all.
Following the snow fox all the way to the Xianglan Palace, Tuoba Jin looked at the black lacquer gold line plaque hanging high on the hall, and frowned.
Cold Palace?
There is a faint chill floating in the air, the slightest thread penetrates into the bone marrow, and between the shaking of the bamboo forest, there is a wind blowing, which inexplicably gives birth to a strange meaning.
Tuoba Jin only stayed for a moment, and then strode in, he had hard deerskin military boots on his feet, he was the Son of Heaven, and every step out was imposing, but he was agile, and he couldn't make a sound like a cat.
Not a single one.
The inner hall was not closed, Tuoba Jin flashed in, only to feel a warm air rushing towards his face.
The hall was lit with red charcoals, and the air was filled with fine ethereal smoke, and only a few candles were lit in the dim hall, emitting a molten light.
It turned out that there were people!
Tuoba Jin looked at it and saw that in the inner hall with sparse furniture, there was a soft collapse, and on top of that soft collapse, there was a person lying on it, covered with a fluffy blanket.
The snow fox that was supposed to be looking for is nowhere to be found. Is it a human or a ghost?
He didn't think much about it, and walked over a few steps, but when he saw that innocent face, he was suddenly startled.
At that moment, he suddenly fell into a dream.
ββ
As if stepping back ten years, he and Fern walked hand in hand in the bustling city of Tokyo, surrounded by bright red lanterns, and at a glance, a warm glow cast out of the streets.
It seemed to be a moving picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of him.
The sound of shouting, shouting, talking, and the laughter of the man came from the wine shop...... The sound is in your ears.
There was a slight coolness in the summer night, but there was a red quietly creeping up the girl's cheeks.
"Ah Jin, have you ever eaten this? It's delicious......" The sweet female voice was full of laughter, and the girl turned her head to look at him, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
She is wearing a short jacket and long skirt often worn by girls outside the palace, and the color scheme is very low-key, but she has a noble temperament, like a fairy, and she knows at a glance that she is not an ordinary girl.
The young man just looked at her helplessly, with a faint smile in his always cold eyes.
Between the two of them, the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were tacitly warm.
"Rock sugar pear juiceβ"
The hawkers shouted in a strange voice.
"Selling straw sandalsβ"
β¦β¦
Both of them couldn't help but laugh softly.
"It's time to go back to the palace......"
The girl sighed lowly.
"Hmm."
He replied lightly, but there was a hint of nostalgia in his amber eyes.
"Let's go."
At night, their figures soon disappeared into the bustling night market.
