Fengming Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, is like a sleeping dragon entrenched in the northwest, the east of this mountain is Daze country, and the west is Daxin country.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strategic location is extremely important, and for thousands of years, it has been a battleground for soldiers.

The predecessor of Daxin was the Sashi Khanate, and the territory was mostly desert and grassland, and the northwest desert was arid, windy and sandy, and the climatic conditions were very harsh; The grasslands in the southeast are dominated by grazing and live on water and grass, and in the icy and snowy season, the grass and trees wither, and the lives of the local people are also greatly threatened. In order to survive for a long time, in order to inherit the bloodline of the same clan forever, I don't know when it began, the hero who appeared in the desert conquered the grassland and led his knights south to invade the Central Plains. Slowly, they conquered large numbers of lands and people.

More than 100 years ago, the leader of the time established the Sashi Khanate in the northwestern region of Kur, and then grew in strength. Male emperor, the founding of the country Daxin (Xin, take the meaning of more prosperity), the capital is still located in the city of Kuer.

For a time, Daxin and Daze, Chiyan, Huaisong, and Southern Zhou formed a five-legged force to jointly dominate the land of Kyushu.

Perhaps it is the belligerence that is deeply rooted in the blood, Daxin has always been dissatisfied with the side of peace, and invaded Daze eight years ago. At that time, Sima Yi, the king of Daze, was obsessed with the theory of ghosts and gods, and under the bewitchment of witchcraft, he only sought the protection of ghosts and gods, and gave up the best time to resist and reinforce. The Daxin knights broke through the dangerous pass, swept through Yuzhen and Yangzhen, captured Yangcheng, and then continued to wave their troops south, easily capturing Jingdu, the royal city at that time.

Ji Qingyun, the general stationed in Jingdu at that time, swore to resist to the death, and finally died heroically without support.

Ismail Yi, the king of Daze, was also killed by random arrows while fleeing.

Three months later, Sima Zhao, the king of Huai who was divided into Cangzhou, raised troops, and with the help of Ji Qianmu, the son of Ji Qingyun, repelled the enemy army to the west of Fengming Mountain, recovered the country, newly established himself as the king, moved the capital to Luocheng, and named Ji Qianmu as the general of Zhenguo.

After the war, the government and the opposition knew the importance of the natural danger pass, and the general Ji Qianmu inherited his father's will and personally stationed in Yangcheng to guard the natural danger pass.

The wounds of the war eight years ago have healed, and trade between the two countries has long since resumed. On this day, a caravan passed through the natural danger pass, through Yuzhen, Yangzhen, and then rested in Yangcheng for one night, and set off at dawn the next day in the direction where Yucheng is located, Yucheng is the closest city to Yangcheng in Daze, leaving Yangcheng, can be reached through Chang'an County, if you go at full speed, it is enough to enter the city before the sun sets on the second day.

On the tower of the city gate, Ji Qianmu, who was dressed in a plain robe, looked at the caravan that was getting farther and farther away, frowning, thoughtful.

"General, except for the man in the lead, the rest of the faces are all barbarians, barbarians are already common in my Daze, if it is really a businessman, why bother to wear my clan clothes in one fell swoop." The man standing to the left of Ji Qianmu was dressed in black, holding a sword in his hand, and his tone was very respectful.

"I don't think they're as simple as traders." The person standing to the right of Ji Qianmu, dressed in green clothes and holding a sword, spoke in a tone as cold as his face.

"What Han Qing said is that according to the news, the third prince of Daxin, Zal Chiwuti. Wing left Kul City and headed in the direction of Daze, but he has disappeared recently, in my opinion, there must be something strange about this caravan, Han Qing, quickly go and find out their true identity, remember, don't startle the snake. ”

"Yes, General."

In an instant, a blue shadow jumped off the city wall and chased in the direction where the caravan had disappeared.

The sun leaped to the horizon and the land was peaceful.

Yucheng, a city located in the southwest of Daze, a long time ago, the Yellow River flooded, Yu water control three times through the door without entering, the source of its water control is here, perhaps it is the memory of this hero for thousands of years, the name Yucheng comes from this.

Yucheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountain is very verdant, except for the cold winter fallen leaves, snow-capped, the forest all present a verdant scene, as for this place, as if in a green fairyland. The rocks at the foot of the mountain are like clouds. Yucheng is on higher ground, the temperature is lower than other cities in Daze, and the peach blossoms here only bloom in April every year.

"Miss, how beautiful do you see this peach blossom?"

"Jingdu is already a remnant red, but here is full of life, but it's a pity, and there will be a day when it will turn into spring mud."

"Miss, Lan'er doesn't understand."

"So, there are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches."

"I see, Miss wants to get married? Haha, when the general returns next time, the slave must inform him and let the young lady find a good marriage, hehe. ”

"Talk nonsense, be careful with your flesh."

"The slave knows that she is wrong, Miss don't be angry, don't leave again, and wait until the sun sets in the west of the city."

"Okay, seeing that you are all wrong, Miss Ben spared you."

Ji Qianning is free by nature, she is not like a woman raised in a deep boudoir, half a step out of the door, only promised, as if she was born imprisoned in a woman's three from four Delhi, in this era of rampant patriarchy, she is lucky, maybe her father died early, her brother poured all his love into her, never imposed any shackles on her, so she developed a free and uninhibited personality, Xu is not in any person, she is never afraid of anything in this world, and never takes anything to heart.

On this day, she took Lan Xin out of Jifu again, rode a carriage all the way to Yucheng, and on the way to the west of the city, she saw the blooming peach blossoms, and this scene appeared.

The two were still laughing, heading in the direction of the west of the city, but they didn't know that every move was caught in the shadows.

West.

This is a corner that has almost been forgotten by the world, the thick trunk, as if it has been hundreds of years old, the rich green leaves cover a large area of the sunset, in this purple and red season, her figure seems particularly lonely, but she is so arrogant, not competing with all things, silently being herself, ready to go, one day will fall overnight.

"Miss, why is it full of green leaves on the tree, and not a single flower blooms?"

"When the magnolia flowers fall, it is the time when the new leaves first appear. We are late, the magnolia flowering period is too short, it is ready to go, and it will show the most beautiful face in this world, but it is not greedy for vanity, not competing with flowers, only being yourself. ”

"I see. Miss, let's come early next year, don't worry about this matter, we can go to the old mansion to find my aunt and them. However, without prior preparation, the old house will probably be cleaned up tomorrow, and it seems that we can only stay in the dormitory today. ”

"Hmm." Ji Qianning snorted and looked at the magnolia tree standing in a daze, Lan Xin saw this scene and knew that their young lady remembered the past again, although she couldn't bear it, she could only watch silently.

Ji Qianning likes Magnolia, not only moved by her father's love and deep memory of them, but also admires her posture, perhaps, she has the same temperament as Magnolia.

Seeing things and thinking about people, Qianning's eyes were full of crystal tears, and she murmured softly in her mouth: "The neon clothes are new at night, and the bundle is slim and the jade palace is spring." ”

"I have been faint to Danxia, so I will make the dew into fragrant dust." Suddenly, a man's voice remembered from behind and took the second half of Qianning's sentence.

Ji Qianning was startled, and turned around to see a man in white standing in front of him, with a handsome face, graceful demeanor, and a halo of sunset like a jade man, which dimmed the brilliance of all things, and what impressed Qianning the most was that pair of unfathomable eyes.

In her memory, it was a poem that her mother liked before her death, but she didn't expect the man in front of her to know it, and she looked at him with more gratitude.

"The girl likes Magnolia?" The man was the first to break the silence.

"Hmm."

"According to the girl's opinion, where is Magnolia?"

"Pour out the beauty, but have no quarrel with the world." Qian Ning lightly opened his lips, and that smile was like a fairy, especially the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, and the man was fascinated for a moment.

"Wonderful.

Ji Qianning bowed slightly.

"Miss, it's not too early." Lan Xin, who was standing on the side, reminded softly.

"Farewell." After Ji Qianning finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Hmm."

Watching that shadow disappear at the end, Ling Chengzhi came back to his senses. He happened to pass by here just now, and when he heard a woman reciting a poem, he couldn't help but take the next sentence...... Just about to lift his feet and leave, a thing left in the weeds attracted his attention, he leaned over to pick it up, looked at it in his hand for a long time, and saw a hosta hairpin engraved with a small Ji character.

Ling Chengzhi smiled, his smile was unfathomable.

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Miss Ji, it won't be long before you and I will meet again. ”
