After combing his hair, Li Ni called again: "Boom." ”

"Ah, princess. Xuan Ming answered as usual.

"You just said that I believe that Uncle Wang will be able to recover Shangdu and take us home, right?"

"Well, I'm sure he can do it, princess, he's the sun. ”

Li Ni nodded earnestly. "Xuan Ming, do you like Uncle Wang very much?"

Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly with relief, but his face flushed, and said, "We all like him very much, don't we?"

"Every time you look at him, it's like my father and queen looking at my mother. ”

Xuan Ming's heart trembled, and he pretended to tidy up his belongings, but did not answer, and then said as calmly as possible: "Princess, people believe in him and admire him because of his bravery and his bravery, and I met him at your age, and he saved me and gave me a second life, and since then, my life has been his, though it is only the life of an insignificant barbarian woman. ”

Li Ni listened, suddenly a little moved, she listened to Xuan Ming carefully told the story between her and Uncle Wang, and now listening to Xuan Ming say this, Xu felt moved, and Xu really wanted someone to talk to her more, so she pulled Xuan Ming to sit down again, begging her to tell her about their past.

Xuan Ming couldn't resist her, and slowly talked about the past that was engraved into her life and soul.

The first time she saw him, at Li Ni's age, he was only fifteen years old at that time, the year of dancing spoons, and she didn't have her current name at that time.

Her parents were forced by the family's hunger and poverty and the medical expenses of her brother's serious illness to sell her to a wealthy family as a slave. The buyer is a deceitful villain, who specializes in finding a beautiful girl from the slave market, buying them at a low price and reselling them to Chunyue's Qinglou at a high price to force them to be prostitutes, so as to satisfy the perverted desires of some nobles and local officials.

She was held and starved for many days, but she refused to obey the threats and temptations of the bustards and thugs, and then they frantically tied her up in her weak state to pick up customers. She experienced the damage that life can never erase, and it was the most cruel suffering. She pleaded, struggled, screamed, but fell into hellish despair.

When she was tied up, she saw her client carrying a blade, and then she pretended to give in, and on the second greeting client, she seized the opportunity to cut the throat of the client as the people in the village did to kill livestock, and ran away.

She was hunted down by many people, and she desperately ran away on her still immature legs, thinking that if she couldn't escape, she must end herself.

She called for help from passers-by, but no one helped her to take a break this month, and she was eventually surrounded by vicious thugs.

She looked at them unyieldingly, knowing that she could not escape, and raised the dagger in her hand to her neck, but her hand was caught instantly, and it was difficult to move.

She turned around and saw a young man with extraordinary aura and scarlet eyes.

Later, he told her that it was his first time in Chunyue, and he came with his brother Crown Prince Li Xi to marry the county lord Yushu Jinyao. When he was in his spare time, he was dressed in plain clothes in the city to look at the customs and customs, and saw such a dark-skinned, healthy and pretty girl surrounded by more than a dozen evil men, but he did not panic at all, and committed suicide with unwilling to give in and a resolute expression.

"She killed someone, we will deal with it! Please don't worry about it!" The thugs noticed his red eyes and bearing, and did not dare to act rashly.

"If she kills someone, she will naturally be dealt with by the government, and I will take her to the government with you. ”

"No! Slaves commit murder and crime, and their own masters deal with them, so what do you want the government to do!"

But he stared at them, not giving an inch. When the thugs saw that he was still a teenager and dressed in plain clothes, they gathered around them to subdue them.

He struck quickly, and someone screamed and fell to the ground in the midst of the lightning. The thugs were anxious, and they recklessly played with murder weapons.

Xuan Ming stood in place, unscathed, barely able to see what was going on, and more than a dozen evil men who were arrogant and arrogant had fallen to the ground and screamed. He didn't use his sword, so he spared their lives.

He took her to the official mansion and reported the name of the prince, and the official Bi Gong Bi trembled slightly.

Slaves kill people and dispose of them freely, it is just the private rules of the powerful, with this emperor and the prince, naturally everything according to the laws of the country, raping young girls and forcing good people to become prostitutes is an unforgivable crime, and self-defense and murder are not guilty according to the law.

He took her into the palatial Liuli Palace, which made people settle down. He gave her two choices: go back to her parents, keep them safe, stay in the Liuli Palace and become a palace maid, have no worries about food and clothing, and return to her hometown when she is old.

"Your Highness, please take me away. She pleaded, she saw in him her only light.

"Then you may never be able to come back to this place. ”

"I don't regret it. ”

He looked at her and finally nodded at her.

It was only the first time he had saved her, the first time he had given her a new lease of life.

When she followed him to Shangdu not long ago, she was inexplicably seriously ill and dying. The doctor said that this was a loss of qi and blood, and he traveled long distances, and he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and he was afraid that time was short.

He looked at her weak, and felt compassion in his heart again, he said that she was born in the mountains and forests, and simply took her into the mountains and mountains where he often practiced alone, and stayed in the caves, thirsty for mountain springs, and hungry for wild fruits. She survived and recovered.

He gave her a black iron dagger, taught her skills on the cliffs of the mountains, forests, and strengthened her physique. She is naturally sensitive and agile, she can get started as soon as she learns, and the two of them laugh and laugh, as if someone outside the world has spent a period of time, and it is also the happiest and warmest time in her life.

"From now on, you will be my sister, and your name will be Xuanming. "His smile is like the warm sun," the jade chirping. ”

Although she has not been in Dijun for a short time, she has already understood something: "This is a name used by nobles, I am not worthy." ”

"No, you deserve it, and besides, this is the name I gave you. He looked at her and said.

Although Xuan Ming has admiration in his heart, he knows that his status is humble, and he doesn't dare to expect anything, so he has already regarded his life as Li Yao's.

She has grown into a slim and slender girl, and he is already a tall and majestic dancing elephant. He had always regarded her as a sister, and besides, it would be inconvenient for such a girl to follow him in and out of the military tent, and he wanted to allow her a good family. Xuan Ming knew that he could understand her intentions and didn't want to delay her, she should happily accept it, but it was difficult to disguise herself.

At that time, she heard that the children of the emperor's knees needed a careful, reliable and martial valual maid, and Xuan Ming hurriedly consulted him, and finally he agreed to recommend her to the emperor.

She rarely saw him since, but she was content so that she could at least stay away from him and stay for him for the rest of her life.

But the name of the sun is not a fantasy of Xuan Ming alone, it comes from the mouth of the former emperor Li Xi, and there are witnesses of the kings of all lands and the people of Shangdu.

In that year, all the dynasties celebrated the pilgrimage, and it seemed to be a grand festival. Emperor Li Xi, who had just ascended the throne, carried out a grand school parade in order to highlight the military strength of the Longxiang army, inviting the kings to observe and open it to the people. After the review, in order to increase the interest of friendship in various places, a competition of samurai from the nine places will be recruited. Although it is a friendship to cheer up, most of the local powers are not to be outdone, and they have worked hard to select their top samurai to compete for glory.

On the high platform, Li Xigao sat in the right position, and the queen Yu Shu Jinyao sat on the side, and the county lord Yu Shu Feifei, who came to Shangdu with the king of Chunyue, was specially summoned by her to sit beside her, and the two sisters said a lot of words affectionately.

On the left side of the emperor, sat the frail Chunyue Wang Yu Shuyi and the princess Li Yun, Chunyue's current Zhongshu Lingnangong Chengyu stood behind. On the other side sat the emperor's uncle, Prince Li Lie, the father of Princess Chunyue, and the emperor's younger brother, Prince Li Yao. The feudal kings of the rest of the lands, King Li Kun of Guang, King Li of Kunwu, King Changfeng of Fusang, and King of Bingyi and Bei Mingyan sat on both sides. Except for the Western Tianmu King Xuanhuan, who was single-mindedly devoted to the sect, he was absent as usual, and the kings of the nine lands had all been present.

She had the honor of standing behind Li Yao.

And sitting on the most side of the tribes of the northern barbarian land, the Chidan chieftain Yelu Tuyu, although he has been a minister to the Sheng Dynasty so far, he connived at the army to harass the border counties and grasslands with Emperor Jun and Kunwu, burning, killing and plundering, and sometimes causing trouble. He and the few strong-looking retinues, with unruly faces and shouting and scolding, although they were also seated in the kings this time, they seemed so incongruous.

Tens of thousands of people in the capital were separated by the Guard Military District and the stands set up around the perimeter.

Emperor Li Xi slowly stood up, personally raised the order flag, the war drums beat in unison, the sergeants shouted in unison, and the contest began.

Li Yao once told her one by one. Duguang is a rich land in the southwest of the border, the king is a branch of the ancestor brother in the Li clan, the hereditary king of Duguang Li Kun inherited the ancestral training of benevolence and righteousness, loves etiquette and morality, and changed his garrison battalion to the Dewu camp, and built a strong army that accepts warriors from nine places and advocates martial arts. The samurai here not only studied various martial arts and martial arts, but also preached loyalty, bravery, righteousness, and respect for the Lord.

The Duguang warriors were dressed in black lacquer mountain armor, wearing phoenix wings, holding the horned rhinoceros banner symbolizing the Duguang royal family in one hand, and holding the unbladed Mo knife used in the martial arts competition in the other, and walked into the martial arts arena majestically.

The Kunwu warriors who fought against him also wore phoenix wings, wore brown lacquer mountain armor, and held tiger flags. The feudal king of the land of Kunwu, Li Grab, is also a branch of the Li clan, which is located in the land of tigers and wolves in the northwest, with mountains and forests in the south and grasslands and Gobi in the north.

After the two phases saluted, a fierce battle began, one side attacked vigorously, leaving no room for it, and the other side was vigorous and calm, and the audience couldn't help but sigh again and again.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, the Kunwu warrior still roared and slammed again, but he gradually messed up the rules, eager to succeed but showed loopholes, and the Duguang warrior, who had been silent in response to the battle, pretended to retreat, lured the enemy deeper, and waited for the opponent's weakness to be fully exposed. Two key points, if it was a real battle, the Kunwu warrior would have already been in a different place.

"Okay!" Li Kun, the king of Duguang in the stands, stood up and applauded, with a proud look on his face, and the princess Xiao next to him smiled charmingly.

"Wei Yin of my Dewu Battalion is really a first-class master in the Nine Lands!" King Du Guang cocked his thumb, and while speaking, he also looked sideways at Kunwu King Li Jiao on the side, but King Kunwu was drinking sullen wine and looked absent-minded, but a high-handsome guard standing straight behind him chuckled.

The victory and defeat were clear, and the sergeants shouted in unison. The loser staggered to his feet, bowed down and admitted defeat, and the winner returned the salute and thanked him.

Then, the Xuanjin armor warriors of Emperor Jun and the silver armor warriors of Fuso, the crane warriors of Chunyue and the snow warriors of Bingyi presented a contest that made people hold their breath and couldn't help but be amazed, and the atmosphere in the martial arts arena was pushed to a climax again and again.

Then there is the competition between the ghost-faced warriors of the Chidan clan, who rose to prominence in the barbarian land for a while, and the hermit who is good at dodging blitzkrieg.

The Moonmen are gifted with the ability to swiftly hunt their prey in the wild beast-strewn forests and are often heavily trained by the powerful, known as hermits, who are the most urgently needed and detestable killers of the powerful and disgraced.

The dagger in the hand of the hermit of the moon break was really unpredictable, and flowers were growing everywhere, and people couldn't help but marvel at it, expecting that the burly samurai of Chidan would be defeated with a small blow like the Kungo samurai. But it was only after dozens of rounds that people understood the reason why Chidan was able to lead the barbarian tribes. I saw that the Chidan samurai wearing a hideous ghost face was bare-handed, and in the face of agile attacks, he could always foresee in advance, see the moves, and when he switched from defense to attack, his moves were precise and ruthless. Soon, the Tsukikyu Assassin was attacked by the Chitan samurai who seized the opportunity, and was knocked to the ground. The Chidan warrior was red-eyed, and he didn't care that his opponent had fallen to the ground, and roared and grabbed the opponent who was no longer able to fight back, held it high above his head, and then smashed it to the ground. The audience was in an uproar, and the wounded were curled up on the ground motionless.

The Chidan people excitedly trampled their opponents under their feet and raised their hands in demonstration.

Du Guang Weiyin, who won at the right time, couldn't stand it, entered the martial arts arena, and after bowing his hand to the Chidan warrior, he showed his Mo sword. The people of Shangdu chanted for it.

Seeing this, the Chidan warrior let go of the opponent just now, and then unhurriedly drew out the curved saber, although he was covered with a ghost face, but he could see that his movements were calm and arrogant, and as soon as he fought, he could feel his momentum and extraordinary sword skills. Dozens of rounds later, Wei Yin gradually lost his strength, and the Chidan warrior screamed, and he had already hit him in the hood with a knife, and another punch hit him in the chest, he spat out a bloody slap in his mouth, and he was defeated on his knees.

There was a sigh in the arena and in the stands.

"Alas!" King Du Guang couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. The kings turned their gaze to the place on the high platform reserved for the Chidan chieftain Yelu Tuyu, but found that the seats there were empty, except for a few cheering Chidan warriors standing.

The samurai of the Jun-Etsu control crane army were also quickly defeated.

The audience was dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that a contest of top warriors in the Nine Lands would be impressed by the Northland Yi tribe, who were considered to be meat-drinking, blood-drinking, and savage.

The Chidan warrior stood in the center of the arena and slowly took off his mask, and it was discovered that it was Yelu Tuyu, the chief of Chidan.

He arrogantly faced the high platform, facing the emperor and the kings, and almost roared and shouted: "You, the emperors of the Nine Lands, are you the warriors you are proud of? Is this the force you claim to protect the people of the Nine Lands?

The kings looked at each other or were silent. Emperor Li Xi couldn't help but be embarrassed and disappointed, looked around, and was speechless for a while.

The seat in front of Honming was empty.

The uproar in the arena suddenly fell silent.

Yelu suddenly turned around, and a heroic warrior wearing the Xuanjin Dragon Head Bright Light Armor stood behind him, half deep and half dazzling. The Emperor leaned in and watched, a look of anticipation.

The barbarians on the field laughed disdainfully.

He picked up his sword and rushed towards the Emperor Jun warrior.

This is a competition that no one has ever seen, there is no hissing, the audience can only hear the continuous sound of knives and knives that cannot be debated in detail, the two figures are staggered for a while, but they are immediately entangled in one place, they can't see the moves clearly, they can't distinguish the figures, all the people hold their breath and concentrate, and the huge competition field seems to have only two grappling figures left.

Loud Ming almost forgot to breathe, his hands clenched and sweating, not realizing how long it had been, the two figures suddenly separated, their backs separated. People looked fixedly, the Xuanjin warrior's Mo knife was broken, only a piece was held in his hand, and when people were about to sigh or the barbarians won, the sharp-eyed man took the lead in shouting, and the Mingming turned his eyes to take a closer look, and the other unbladed knife was firmly embedded in Yelu's breastplate!

Na Yelu suddenly looked down at his breastplate, threw away the knife in his hand with a blank face, and walked away without looking back. The Xuanjin warrior took off his hood, it was the eighteen-year-old prince Li Yao, and at that moment he seemed to radiate a dazzling light like tomorrow.

Cheers, from the townsfolk to the emperor. Cheers, loud chirps in the crowd of joy. The sergeants shouted in unison, this is the commander of their dreams, the commander who led them to victory in a hundred battles.

Li Xi stood up excitedly and looked at his siblings. Everyone stood up.

"He is the sun," he said loudly to the crowd, "the sun of the Li family, the sun of reviving my dynasty!"
