Chapter 8 I have seen your kingdom

People were sympathetic, silent, and silently avoided Si Ling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe she's really not the Phoenix Maiden of Radiance who is destined to return!

Even Si Ling himself couldn't help but think discouragedly.

Anyway, she didn't plan to come to this world to make a mess......

But is it also possible that the high priests had malicious intentions and wanted to take her power? The annoying thing is that she can't crack it.

In a fit of rage, she ran into the woods, and in his hut, her cheeks were red, and black flames burned in her eyes.

What a phoenix! Even if you are hurt, even if you are angry, even if you are dead. There are no tears, only weeping in blood.

He raised his hand, unable to touch her, but could only caress the shadow that fell on his finger with his gaze: "Then, let's sleep." Princess. ”

"What if I'm not a princess?" Siling asked.

"I have seen your kingdom." Li Yan said quietly, "I've broken my heart. I don't care what other people say. ”

Si Ling lay down. She slept, quietly, but still sharp, like an arrow that had been polished and clean, lying in a box.

When she gently lifted her eyelashes and opened her eyes, it looked like the sun was falling on an arrow.

Sharp Arrow has no expression. She just woke up from a dream, and when she opened her eyes to look at Li Yan, she was also expressionless.

So ruthless, and so beautiful.

It's so beautiful, why bother with affection.

She looked at Li Yan, but sadness welled up in her eyes, and then turned into a smile again. The dream finally turned into reality.

He was absent from her dreams.

He has died without regrets.

The goblin was right, he wouldn't join them. At least when she was here, he couldn't have had any other choice.

He might have been waiting before she showed up. Wait for a person to scratch a deep wound on him, as he did a hundred years ago, and let him at least have an excuse to be willing to bend his knees and bear the wound of gnawing and heart.

He asked himself softly: How so?

This person who made him would rather abandon the demon world of the stars and waves, and this person who couldn't paint such a perfect painting after waiting for a hundred years, how could he be thrown away and be alone here?

Si Ling asked him, "What is this?" ”

In his hand, the stone bowl was mashed with rouge blood.

"Ah, Kodan." Li Yan said peacefully.

In this world, girls don't have nail polish to use. When they wanted to add color to their fingertips, they smashed bright flowers, boiled insect wings, and powdered ore to make dyes that dipped their nails.

It's not like witchcraft.

To be beautiful, to be fragrant, to ask for a long time, these human desires are close to witches.

Li Yan said: "Please allow me to dye Kodan for you." ”

“…… Right now? Si Ling blinked, feeling funny.

"The dancer's clothes, the warriors' robes, and the play's ink." Li Yan said, "These are all rituals and equipment for the battle. You're in a tough fight, and I'm just going to make the grass and flowers. Allow me to give you a little bit of help in this way! You're a woman, after all. ”

Si Ling was silent for a moment.

She remembered the smoke clouds he had cut for her in that life, and they lingered. By the time she could understand his mind, everything was in shambles.

I hope that in this life, it will not be too late for him to adjust the bright color for her and strengthen her battle color.

He lifted his hand, and she let his palm take hers. The autumn is dipped in Kodan, and the pen is down.

The day gradually became clear, and the soldiers got up according to the drum and trumpet, as in the past countless days, those who should go out to exercise and those who want to cook and sweep.

But inadvertently, their eyes will look towards the rampaging forest. It seems to be resentful and expectant.

What to expect? They can't even tell.

The sun had risen above the horizon, but the first rays of light were not enough to illuminate the shadows of the rampaging forest. The wind is stingy and slightly chilly.

The high priest and the old hussar general also got up. Perhaps, they didn't sleep at all.

Walking out of the sacrificial chamber and the tent, they all looked in the direction of the forest, and then they looked at each other.

"Will she come back from that forest?" They asked each other.

"Even then, you can't back down." They replied to each other, "Even if the divine doctor is on her side, she will not back down!" Big deal, tell the truth: she's not really a princess! ”

In the bloody rebellion of the usurpation of the country seventeen years ago, they were afraid that the rebels would kill the princess, so they asked the eldest grandmother to exchange their own daughter with the princess.

Mama's daughter took the title of princess, and the real princess was wronged and became a companion. This is a measure of rights and interests to prevent the other party from coming to assassinate. They also did not expect that this right and right plan would continue for 17 years at once. That grandmother's daughter is not only fatal, she can't die in any task, but her prestige is getting higher and higher!

This situation cannot continue. As for her going to take the whole army out of the forest, this is pure nonsense! And also look at what she herself was born in? Is it really a natural phoenix? is so ignorant of life and death, and going out is purely self-defeating!

They regret that the real princess Bingxuan has not matured for a long time, and it may be difficult for her to take on important responsibilities. They had to suffer a little more and try to maintain the situation! Forgive the fake princess, who is so young and arrogant and sloppy that she can't turn it out of the palm of their hand.

Something in the forest moved slightly. Maybe it's just the fawn soothing its hooves.

The sun struggled upward, as if trying to see the movement in the forest. The sun was brighter, but the fog in the forest was thicker. In the mist, there was the sound of footsteps stepping out.

A faint blunt axe to chop down the cooking wood; The red-maned fierce horse bowed its head to the clear stream to drink; The golden-winged beetle pulls off the green neck of the blade of grass; The light flowing before the dew dries up, reflecting the cold glow of the halberd.

That one foot out.

The sun is shining.

Put all the heat on it, and shine on this black waterfall.

Si Ling's hair was like black jade charcoal, and in an instant, he lit a golden fire for the scorching sun.

The axe blade was bitten to death among the firewood, the water ripples were messed under the horse's hooves, and the beads were broken and the knife was raised. Their eyes were raised, and their souls were brought by accident:

Is that you?

Is it you who are scorching and fierce, and you have received the destiny of heaven to hear to us?

Or take us out, or teach us to die here with peace of mind, blade blood flames, or rotten bones under the forest, give us a break.

You know we crave a break!

Si Ling's black burning gaze swept over one face after another. Their expectations and pains were all in her eyes. She already knew that they didn't want to die here. If you die, you will die and make a name for yourself.

She knew the mood too well.

The High Priest stepped forward and looked at her in bewilderment. The girl said to him firmly and coldly: "Fetch the holy fire!" ”

She decided to take on the challenge. Win or lose, she wants to give people a result.

The high priest was so frightened by her look that he really went to open the altar of the holy fire. Si Ling waited behind him and asked, "High Priest, why did you come here when you were born and died, and finally suffered in the forest for seventeen years?" ”

Why? The high priest looked at her silently and did not reply, but when the flame was opened, he fell to his knees and took off his robes.

Under the robe, there were several shocking old scars.

The old hussar general also came, also showing one arm.

It was just an arm, and the scar carved on it was deeper than that of the high priest.

He took the temple dagger and slashed it on the high priest's chest.

The ritual of testing the sacred fire and asking for the destiny of heaven requires the blood of the high priest before it can be opened.

And the old wounds on the high priest's body are not all from the ritual. Most of them were suffered in the process of fleeing. And the wounds on the body of the old hussar general were all due to the battle.

The so-called "birth and death" are imprinted on them.

They gave this brand to the gods. May God learn from them, and they will be brave and brave!

Si Ling couldn't help but be moved.

Perhaps, they are not the traitors she thinks they are...... In the seventeen years of solitude, even if you cover the sky with one hand, what kind of great power is it? It's not worth it to exchange such pain for this.

They may have other grievances and other aspirations...... Even so, she couldn't let them go.

She gave birth to these eyes, and she saw as clearly as she could; She gave birth to these two feet, and she could go as far as she could. Do they have a hard time? Show it to her! It's up to her to decide whether to adopt it or not. Until then, she will never tolerate them dictating her direction!

She threw her hand into the flames.

On the ten fingers, Kodan Yin Yin.

Li Yan carefully dyed the color on her fingertips, and at the end she gave hand balm, rubbed and massaged her, and then said goodbye to her.

These hands, which have been cherished and cared for in such a way, are worth it even if they are burned in the fire.

At least she knew that even if she was injured, someone would help her heal.

(In many cases, we may not be afraid of pain, but only that the pain will last for a long time, and it will become a lifetime of scarring.) )

Countless pairs of eyes, looking at the slender and powerful hands, resolutely pressed into the fire, like a pair of thin wings.

The wings didn't burn.

It's as short as if it's just a breath and a blink of an eye; It's like a long age. The hands slowly lifted again.

There were no burns. White as clouds on the horizon and snow on the mountains. Not the slightest scorching is untouched.

There is only a light flame.

From the fire to the fingertips, it is as light as the sunshine and the sunset in the wind.

Si Ling's ten fingertips lit such an unmistakable flame. Even she herself was taken aback.

Seem...... There is no burning sensation! She turned around blankly and raised her hands to the people, which roughly meant: burned. I don't hurt. What do you think of now......

"Smack!" A man knelt down.

"Click!" Another heavy-helmeted warrior fell to his knees.

The whole crowd, from slow to sick, like a wheat field blown down by the wind, all bowed down, including the high priest and the old hussar general.

They trembled like leaves in the wind, out of guilt, out of surprise.

This is the princess. It turns out that this is the savior phoenix! They are so ignorant that they regard pearls as stones and mantis arms as cars. Fortunately, the Phoenix Girl has the bell of destiny, and the train is blazing and coming out of the bag, how can they be stopped by ignorant mortals.

They trembled, wept in shame and ecstasy.

Han Chu is in the military tent.

Born as a soldier, he has become accustomed to the sky as the curtain and the earth as the seat. As for the small things such as cutting branches for beams, Zhang Ge for walls, and consolidating foundations.

After moving out of the forest, Han Chu commanded the soldiers to make a small camp, and took advantage of the surrounding terrain to cover it so that the nearby rebels would not find out.

Oh, by the way, since the rebels defeated the Bright Imperial Family and established a new dynasty, they are no longer called rebels, and they are sitting up all over the world. The country name is "Qin", which basically continues the county planning of the bright period, but adds the system of military supervision of the county.

In fact, after the rebel general Wang Chen sat in the world, he didn't want to disband the army, but it was not a matter for such a large group of people to be raised in Kyoto, so he raised the soldiers and horses who helped him fight the world and raised them back to the world.

In other words, in addition to a civilian official, each place must also raise a military army.

Civil officials are likely to be locals, so they will have a better understanding of local customs, and theoretically they will be more sympathetic to their fellow villagers, so that they will not be too chaotic. The armed army, on the other hand, must be stationed in other places, so as not to have its own forces in the local area and support the army for self-respect. And the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty also hoped that the military army could play the role of supervising civilian officials.

Take the "Yibin City" next to the rampaging forest as an example. Cheng Shou Shen Yiluo was born locally, first passed the township examination, and then, like all students, went out to study abroad, and after obtaining more than three years of study tour qualifications, he passed the county examination in the county, went to Beijing for further study together, and finally passed the Beijing examination. Those who have passed the three levels in this way are called "three passes of Jinshi", and the emperor appointed them and the court gave them a banquet. Because the time is always in spring, there are always fresh fruits coming out of Ouchi, and the most eye-catching of them is always bright red cherries, so it is also called cherry feast.

Jinshi drank the cherry banquet and went to work in various places, starting from the lowest level and rising layer by layer. Unless there is a special emergency, or the emperor specially approves an exception, it cannot be promoted beyond the level. Shen Yiluo first returned to his hometown, and it took two years to rise one level, pinch his fingers and calculate, and then the next promotion, I am afraid that he will have to wait at least another three years. However, there are other opportunities for promotion in the field. The imperial court encouraged officials to exercise in other places, and those who applied to go to other places were more likely to climb up than those who were local. Shen Yiluo applied to go to other places, and sure enough, he was approved within a month. After accumulating in this way, fifteen years, he is eligible to apply for the city guard.

The official position of the city guard, among the qualified officials, the locals pushed the candidates, and the court approved them. Shen Yiluo was born in Yibin, and the people of Yibin were quite kind to him and pushed him up together. The imperial court saw that he was very experienced in various places, had a good official reputation, and was superior to other candidates, so they named him. After he took office, everyone expected it, and sure enough, everything was based on his father and elders, even if he scraped the ground, he was measured, and he was not too ruthless.

And the army raised in Yibin City has some problems.

The so-called army is always like this, if you don't raise it, you are afraid that no one will rescue you if something happens; If you raise it, you are afraid that it will become a problem to raise a tiger.

There have been no major wars for seventeen years, and the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty will inevitably relax. Many people were relieved and returned to the fields to enjoy the joy of family. Many of those who remain in the army are too poor at home and want to stay in the army for a few years and work hard for a background; There are also some military families who earn experience points in the local area, and finally return to Beijing to be promoted to general and glorify their ancestors.

Now the army leader of Yibin City, I heard that it is such a ******, and he has now assumed the title of "Xuanwu Captain", but he is very young and has not yet been weakly crowned. (To be continued.) )
