Just when the two of them were shocked, they heard a shout behind them, "Who is there!" ”

Ning Hao hurriedly lowered his flying sword, and several figures stepped into the water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is the merman guard during the day.

Ning Hao stepped forward first to say hello, "I'm still patrolling so late." ”

Feng Ping also recognized Ning Hao, "Hey, it's you." I thought it was a clansman, and I was trying to warn me not to go forward. ”

Ning Hao was puzzled, "Why, what is the place that is so lively in front?" ”

In the dark night, the delicate faces of the sharks showed a hint of gloom at the same time, and they went elsewhere.

Feng Ping stayed in place, sighed slightly, and said, "Ahead, it's the country of mountains and seas." ”

"Shanhai Country?" Qing Huan and Ning Hao were both stunned, "Is it here, isn't it?" ”

"You can say yes, you can say no." Feng Ping's eyes looked ahead, revealing a hint of yearning.

"Hey, big brother. Can you make that clearer? Ning Hao said, "If you say half of this and hide half of it, it will make our two strangers very painful." ”

Qing Huan nodded in agreement.

Feng Ping looked down at her, as if to make sure that they were indeed "two people".

"The most central location of the Shanhai Kingdom is where the emperor is located. In addition, according to the distance from Digi, it is divided into five suits. ”

Wufu said, thousands of years ago in the Central Plains also had this division method, Qing Huan and Ning Hao are no strangers, I can't think of this country of mountains and seas between the far sea, and it has been used to this day.

"In addition to the king, there are also four generals living in the emperor, Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu. They are the highest class in the country of mountains and seas.

"Dianfu, which is the closest to the emperor, is inhabited by a group of princes, ministers, and nobles. They are the people with the highest status in the country of mountains and seas, except for the king and the four generals. Not only can they be exempted from paying taxes, but they also enjoy a series of preferential policies that are not available in the other four services in terms of business, official promotion, and military service.

The next Houfu is inhabited by ordinary dignitaries and skilled craftsmen from various industries. The status of skilled craftsmen in the country was so high that even the nobles did not dare to offend them easily. Those who live in Houfu only need to pay taxes once a year.

"Suifu outside the Hou service is inhabited by a large number of civilians. These people pay taxes every six months.

"The outer ones are the places of exile for sinners and untouchables, and the heirs of these people are also required to live in obedience, bearing very heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

"Outside of serving, it is a wasted suit. The people who are deserted have to pay taxes once a month, and less than 10% of the country's population has to bear nearly 60% of the taxes, and they enjoy a status in the country that is not as good as the sinners and untouchables who want to serve.

"Dian, Hou, and Sui, the names of the people in the deserted costumes are...... Shark slave. ”

"Shark slave?" Qing Huan and Ning Hao's four eyes widened together.

"All the people living in the desert are sharks." Feng Ping said, "I'm sorry, the place you are in now is a wasteland. Unless summoned, the merman is not allowed to go close to the range of the first four suits. Otherwise, they will be reduced to slavery at least, and their lives will be at stake. In the laws of Shanhai Kingdom, once the mermaids are out of the wilderness, it is not illegal to abuse or even slaughter them. That's why my companions and I are guarding day and night. When we first met today, it was also because of this, and it offended you. ”

"But......" Qing Huan looked at the gorgeous merman house in front of him and said in disbelief, "Didn't you just say that the status of skilled craftsmen in Shanhai Country is very high?" If you want to talk about dexterity, who in this world can compare to the merman? ”

"That's right. No matter what, it shouldn't be reduced to this point, right? Ning Hao said, "It sounds like it was deliberately suppressed and targeted." ”

Feng Ping looked at the two girls, and his big beautiful eyes showed a very sad look, "I heard from the ancestors, a long time ago, our merman clan was indeed admired by the people, and most of them lived in Houfu. This is also the reason why thousands of years later, most sharks still love to walk on land with their legs. But everything changed 3,000 years ago......"

As disciples of the three gods, how could they not be sensitive to the word "three thousand years". In the past, when the immortals were teaching, when they mentioned "three thousand years" with such a sigh, most of them had tragic and martyr events to tell, and most of them were related to the battle of sealing the sky.

This influence is really everywhere. In that battle, how many regions and how many people were changed, it is impossible to count, and I am afraid that no one was spared.

Qing Huan and Ning Hao asked together, "Three thousand years ago, what happened?" ”

"According to legend, because the king at that time was afraid of the war, he refused to join the Demon Domain. Therefore, among the seven demon generals, the most ferocious and brutal demon general Wan Zheng led the army of demon soldiers to attack. The king and the three generals Qinglong, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird fought desperately, and White Tiger and Vermilion Bird were killed one after another. But...... General Xuanwu, but because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he chose to flee with his wife and children at this time. ”

Ning Hao said: "What does that have to do with the merman?" ”

Feng Ping glanced at her with great sadness, "General Xuanwu, it's a merman!" Because of his escape, General Qinglong was helpless for a long time and was seriously injured. The king personally led the army to help, but he was stopped and killed halfway by a catastrophe and was killed on the spot! Therefore, after the war was calmed down, the new king Chixuan discussed the rewards and punishments, and the clansmen of the other three generals were all rewarded very generously. However, because of Xuanwu's involvement, the shark people were driven out of the Houfu and became the lowest **** in this mountain and sea country.

"We don't hate the king's injustice to us, we only hate the Xuanwu general who was greedy for life and afraid of death, Yuan Huang!"

Qing Huan and Ning Hao were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know how to comfort them for a while. Three thousand years ago, the deceased have been scattered, but the children and grandchildren are still left in this world to suffer and pay for the sins committed by their ancestors.

After Feng Ping finished speaking, he seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "But you don't have to feel sorry for us, things have taken a turn for the better now." ”

Qing Huan said: "What turnaround? ”

"Five months ago, Yuan Huang's heir had already returned with soldiers from all over the world. and defeated the previous Xuanwu, won the approval of the king, and became the latest Xuanwu general. Although the status of the mermaids has not been improved immediately, General Xuanwu has already repented of the mistakes of his ancestors in front of the whole clan, and made a promise that he will definitely bring the mermaids back to Houfu. Although there is a long way to go, I have to say that it is a good thing! The merman young man said, and the look between his eyebrows and eyes rose.

Five months, is that a coincidence? Qing Huan's heart couldn't help but move.

"Congratulations!" Ning Hao said, "But the soldiers from all over the world, what is it?" ”

"Burning Sky Soldiers, Hundred Blade Long Soldiers, Thousand Feather Crossbow Soldiers, and Four Sea Square Soldiers. These four are the weapons of the four generals of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, and they are also the identity symbols of the four generals of the mountains and seas. Among them, the soldiers of the four seas, and the supreme authority of the merman clan, have always been in the hands of General Xuanwu. Feng Ping said, "Therefore, several Xuanwu generals after Yuan Huang, because they did not have soldiers from all over the world, were actually not recognized in the etiquette system of the entire country. ”

"The soldiers of the four seas you are talking about...... Qing Huan hesitated, "It looks like Fang Tian's painting halberd, and the whole body is silver?" ”

Feng Ping was surprised: "How do you know? ”

Qing Huan took a deep breath and asked, "Is the latest Xuanwu general called Han Qian?" (To be continued.) )
