Chapter 1: Jade Doll Beauty

(a)

Huaiyang City, the capital of Yunguo, a prosperous and rich capital, the sun shines on the pink walls and tiles, under the uneven eaves, there are commodity signboards or fluttering banners, the streets are lined with restaurants and tea rooms, all kinds of workshops, there should be, the largest street in the middle is lined with small merchants and vendors, and there are many intricate small streets and alleys on the side of the main road, and the people of Huaiyang City live and work in peace and contentment.

The main street is full of people, and their faces are full of cosy and comfortable atmosphere. Yes, in this era of ruin, it is a paradise that has not experienced any baptism of war, the seasons change, but each has its own beauty.

Who called it so good, the capital of the overlord of the world, the Cloud Country? In the past eight years, the Yun Kingdom has successively destroyed the Xuan Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, the Water Kingdom, and the Air Kingdom, and unified the world of the five countries. And today's King Yun is also notoriously cruel, although he did not kill all the people of the four kingdoms, he slaughtered the cities of the four kings. The blood-soaked baptism, the wail, remained in the hearts of the people of Shikoku like a nightmare, but they did not dare to cry, they did not dare to speak, they could only continue to live the most basic.

Huaiyang City is the luxurious palace that everyone is in awe of, carved beams and painted buildings, golden and brilliant, the momentum is even more majestic, and it has a solemn sense that makes people spontaneously arise. It's just that in the corner of this magnificent palace, there is an exceptionally deserted place - Xiyan Palace, which is a palace that few people will go to, but fortunately, it looks quite clean.

Under the only plane tree in Xiyan Palace, there is a fourteen-year-old girl in white, with random green silk draped behind her, not combed, the sky is dark, a delicate face is clean and clear without flaws, a pair of small eyes are clean, it is so good-looking, but there is no trace of brilliance, a tall but small nose, especially a girl's unique pink lips, not glamorous but just right. Although there is still immaturity on the face, it is already the curling and graceful flower of the city, not as flamboyant as the peony, but like the beauty of the lily.

The girl raised her alluring face and looked at the plane tree, there was only a hole in her eyes, there was no expression on her face, and she was stupid and did not have a trace of popularity. Time seems to stand still, the heaven and the earth seem to be only the immovable shadow, from a distance it looks like a beautiful picture, beauty is beautiful, but there is no soul.

After a long, long time, a lively and agile voice came: "Princess Xi, what have you been looking at?" ”

From the gate of Xiyan Palace, which was completely unguarded, a cute-looking little palace maid Yu'er walked in with two handfuls, the little girl looked a few years older than the girl, but she still felt like a child. Also, in this Xiyan Palace, she is just a girl, she doesn't need to intrigue at all, but this girl is simple but does not mean that she is innocent. She has never asked less questions like today's, but she has never received an answer from the girl.

The beauty under the tree just shook her head, her eyes were looking at Yu'er, but she was still so empty without a trace of focus. The little palace maid is used to it.

"Today, General Yunzhi returned to the court, and I heard that even the king and the prince went to welcome him back, he is the great hero of our Yun Kingdom! Princess Xi, do you want to go and see it? ”

How Yu'er wants to go and see it, but this princess is a jade doll, without any emotion, every day except for being in a daze here and there, she is the only maid by her side, even if she is reluctant, she can only follow the girl.

Knowing that it was impossible, Yu'er still looked at the jade doll beauty in front of her with anticipation, but the beauty walked directly to the house and didn't wait for her. Yu'er was full of resentment, and her hands clenched into fists, but she had to follow abruptly. It's just that she doesn't know how many times she cursed the girl in her heart, as long as the girl is buried alive and sacrificed early, she can leave this forever deserted Xiyan Palace.

Princess Xi, although she is a princess, everyone knows that she is just the righteous daughter brought back by King Yun, the little princess of the water country who died in the country of mercury. King Yun has never come to see her, she is just a 16-year-old sacrifice, and even the name Yunxi is given so that she can sacrifice as a member of the Yun family, a sacrifice for the century-old foundation of the Yun Kingdom.

Yu'er has been with her since she was nine years old, and her task is to let the girl live well until she is 16 years old, complete the important task of burying her alive, and then Yu'er can be free and leave here. It's just that over the years, she has never treated the girl sincerely, and she has never heard the girl say a word, or even laugh, the girl is like a jade doll that will never have a soul.

The city gate of Huaiyang City was wide open, and the main road facing the city gate was full of ordinary people on both sides, and the crowd was crowded, welcoming them, looking forward to the return of Yunzhi, the young and promising general of their Yun Kingdom.

On the high tower of Huaiyang City, there stood the Lord of the World, King Yun, although he was past his prime, he was still domineering, and he still had the handsomeness of his youth between his eyebrows. A handsome young man accompanies him, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to King Yun, but on the man's delicate facial features, there is a kind of tender eyes that the superior should not have, and the whole person looks gentle and jade, and it is difficult to look harmless, it is Yun Su, the prince of Yun Kingdom, who is incompatible with his father's arrogant eagle eyes.

There were two rows of soldiers standing on the city tower, protecting the safety of King Yun and the crown prince, also waiting for the return of the general.

The wind and sand brought up dust, and in the distance in the gray, a personable young general in armor rode a white horse, full of righteousness, at the forefront of a million lions. His facial features are handsome and resolute, and the man's true colors are handsome, but in his elegant and plain eyes, there is deep restraint hidden at this time.

The general Yunzhi led the well-trained army to advance slowly, and they entered the city gate, and the people around them cheered and shouted "hero". After the young general entered the city, he let the army leave first, and he immediately dismounted and rushed to the city tower to meet the supreme of Yunguo.

King Yun saw that the general of their Yun Kingdom saluted him, went up and took the initiative to help him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhi'er, it's hard work, let my father take a good look, yes, these years of training are different, heroes are out of youth." ”

"Father Miu praised, and his sons lived up to expectations and swept away the rebels."

"Okay, he is worthy of being a good son of his father, and he did not disappoint his father, do you have a clear understanding of the situation of the rebels this time."

"Yes, father, this rebel army is the remnants of the Xuanguo, and the leader is Li Yi, the general of the Xuanguo."

"Xuanguo?" King Yun's eyes changed suddenly, but he quickly hidden, "Zhi'er, what about Li Yiren?" ”

"He has been beheaded by his retainers in front of the soldiers of the three armies."

"Good, well done."

"The rebels have been completely annihilated by the retainers, and there is not a single survivor."

"Well, since ancient times, the grass has not been rooted, and the spring breeze blows and grows. These remnants of the Four Kingdoms should have been killed, but it's a pity that so many escaped back then. King Yun looked at Yun Zhi's performance, there was nothing wrong, and then he put his mind at ease.

Yun Zhi is the child he has high hopes for, and he is the general he trained for Yun Guo, but Yun Zhi has a trace of anti-will, he will definitely kill him.
