After the establishment of the United States Empire, Hades declared that the American Union tribal nations were noble nations, the Japanese tribal nations were medium nations, the other tribal nations in the northern part of the Central Plains were inferior ethnic groups, and all ethnic groups in the Central Plains were inferior ethnic groups, and promulgated a series of privilege policies. In order to continue to suppress the local forces in the Central Plains, Hades changed the vassal states to the states, requiring a large amount of taxes and tributes to be paid every year, and the empire sent a garrison general and a cavalry force of 500 people to each state, which was only responsible for supervision, not involved in specific affairs, and its military salary expenditure was paid by each locality! In addition, although the states belong to the empire, the states need to be self-sufficient, and the emperor will not give any financial support! This practice was indeed extremely effective in curbing the development of local forces at that time.

However, Hades's ethnic hierarchy left a huge legacy for the United States Empire, and later rebels appeared in various tribes and localities. And the economic looting and tribute of the United Empire made the situation worse for the people everywhere, and the common people lived extremely miserable. However, the upper echelons of the American Federation have been living a life of luxury and decay for so many years, which makes the American people no longer have the energy to effectively control and supervise the localities, and the tribal peoples of the former American Federation have also become disunited, which gives the Central Plains states an opportunity to take advantage of.

After hundreds of years, all the states in the Central Plains have been secretly accumulating strength. Now the current Emperor of the United States Empire, Medron . In 313 A.D., he asked the localities to recruit a large number of people to build the atrium palace for him, and the funds were raised by the localities, and he also asked each village in the empire to pay a tribute to a young girl to be kept in the atrial palace for his enjoyment. In the year 315 of the United States Dynasty, the Loulin tribe in the north of the United States led a rebellion, and the United States sent elite cavalry to suppress it in less than 3 days. This made the various forces realize that there was still a big gap in strength, and after that, no official forces rebelled except for bandits.

In 318 years of the United States calendar, there was a great drought in the two states of Yan and Han and once lost the grain harvest, and the two states of Yan and Han successively sent troops to attack Jinju to grab grain, and the empire was also happy to see that the states weakened each other, without any stop and obstruction, so far in the 321 years of the United States calendar, the wars in various states broke out frequently, and the chaos in the world has become a burning trend.

Of the states, only Qinzhou was in a better situation, and it is said that Qin Wen reached an agreement with Hades at that time before surrendering and because of his affinity, only Qinzhou retained a part of the army and paid the least tribute.

Fu Wenze sighed and said: "Sheng'er, this is some of the history of the empire that Dad learned from folk rumors, and Dad knows the least about the current situation in Qinzhou!" ”

Fu Shengsheng said with a smile: "It's okay, Dad, it's enough to know these histories, just ask about the current situation of various countries!" ”

"Sheng'er, I don't know how you feel after listening to this history, and what your goals are?" Fu Wenze sighed again and said.

Fu Shengsheng got up from the bed, got out of bed and knelt down on Fu Wenze's legs and said: "This is actually a history of blood and tears of foreign rule, although the countries of my Central Plains are fighting endlessly, but all ethnic groups are of the same origin and origin, they are all my Chinese descendants, and they have never been ruled and exploited by other ethnic groups, nor have they been degraded as inferior ethnic groups by other ethnic groups, this is our great shame!" However, our Chinese nation does not want to unite or forge ahead, but accepts the status quo and attacks each other, which is our great sorrow! Dad, drive out the Tartar slaves and restore the Central Plains, this is what the child wants to do most now! ”

"Okay, Dad is very pleased!" Fu Wenze sighed, and after speaking, he took off a cloth bag from his underwear and handed it to Fu Shengsheng.

Fu Shengsheng took the cloth bag with both hands and asked, "Dad, what is this?" ”

"You open it and take a look," Fu Wenze said.

Fu Shengsheng opened the cloth bag, only to see that inside was a slender droplet-shaped body curved black jade pendant, the jade pendant was tied with a black rope, and a black crystal was strung on the rope.

"Jade pendant? Is it a family heirloom? Fu Shengsheng asked and answered himself.

"It's called Black Crystal Jade Pendant, and it's our family's heirloom," Fu Wenze nodded.

After hearing this, Fu Shengsheng handed the jade pendant back to his father and said, "Dad, since it is a family heirloom, it should be passed on to the eldest brother, how can you give it to me?" ”

Fu Wenze took the jade pendant and said with emotion: "Yes, it stands to reason that it should be passed on to the eldest son, but it is the ancestral training that is passed on to you!" ”

"Zu Xun?" Fu Shengsheng looked at his father suspiciously.

"Yes, the ancestral training is passed on to the person who was born with a red half-moon birthmark on the soles of his feet, and if there is no such person, it is passed on to the eldest son, and this is the case for generations!" Fu Wenze paused for a moment and continued: "Sheng'er, you have this birthmark on the soles of your feet since birth, Dad is overjoyed, and then Dad intends to vigorously cultivate you, but you are idle and not enterprising, Dad thought, if the world is peaceful, this is not a bad thing, so I just don't care about you anymore, who knows that you seem to have changed a person today, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, it seems that there is a providence in the dark!" ”

"Dad, of course it's a good thing!" Fu Shengsheng said with a smile.

"Alas, you have been idle since you were a child, you can't do anything, you haven't learned anything, and your father is worried that it will be a problem for you to even protect yourself when you go out!" Fu Wenze said worriedly.

"Dad, don't worry, the child doesn't have other skills, but there are still some goods here!" Fu Shengsheng smiled and pointed to his head and said.

"If you really have the goods, you won't be knocked out..."Fu Wenze said with a little crying and laughing.

"Dad, there must be a secret to be able to be an heirloom, so what secret is this jade pendant associated with?" Fu Shengsheng asked with bright eyes.

"It's said to be related to a treasure!" Fu Wenze said.

"That's it, it's gone! The secret is just one that is said... There's no way to start! No matter how big the treasure is, it's useless if you can't get it! Fu Shengsheng said disappointedly.

"The bigger the secret, the less information there is, and the secret may be up to you to discover!" Fu Wenze carefully put the jade pendant into a cloth bag and handed it to Fu Shengsheng and comforted.

Thinking about it, I can only rely on myself to figure it out slowly, maybe one day I will figure it out by myself, it won't be soaring, so Fu Shengsheng is very happy to take back the jade pendant.

"But.." Fu Wenze said.

"Dad, what else?"

"It's nothing" Fu Wenze hesitated for a moment and said, and then admonished: "Sheng'er, even your mother and your eldest brother don't know about this jade pendant, you must hide it with the cloth bag, don't show it in front of others, don't tell anyone, before you don't have the strength, don't try to explore the secrets, you have to understand the truth of guilt!" ”

"Got it, Dad" Fu Shengsheng replied, and then hurriedly hid the cloth bag into the pocket of his underwear.

Fu Wenze got up and gently helped Fu Shengsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Since the Qin State, an academy has been set up in every city, called the Jiangwutang, which is dedicated to cultivating military talents for the country, but I don't know what the situation is now, my father suggested that if there is any, you should find a way to enter the Jiangwutang first!" As for the usage, the family is not very rich, and Dad will help you prepare some of it, if it is not enough, you have to figure it out by yourself! Think of it as your first goal! ”

"Yes, Dad, that's what the kid is planning!" Fu Shengsheng rubbed his knees and said.

In fact, even if Fu Wenze doesn't mention it, Fu Shengsheng also has this plan, Fu Shengsheng has his own advantages, but he doesn't know martial arts, he can't arrange troops, and he has no connections. The personal connections alone are worth a trip to the lecture hall.

"In this way, you have a good rest for the past two days, if someone comes to see you, you have to pretend to be dizzy, and you have to pretend to be more serious, and you will leave the night after tomorrow! Don't mention it to anyone! Your mother's side, Dad will explain it to her! Fu Wenze patted Fu Shengsheng's shoulder and said.

In the past two days, Fu Shengsheng still wandered around with a few brothers as usual, looking at the home where he had lived for more than ten years in his memory, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but he knew that he was not really himself at that time, and now he has his own way to go!

Late at night on the third day, Fu Shengsheng waited quietly in the room, and after a while, there was a slow sound of pushing the door, his father Fu Wenze walked in with a package, Fu Shengsheng was about to speak, Fu Wenze hurriedly made a booing action.

Fu Wenze gently closed the door of the room, handed the package in his hand to Fu Shengsheng, and said softly: "Sheng'er, here are the coils and clothes that my father prepared for you, although there are not many, but it should be almost enough to cope with food and accommodation, as for other expenses, if it is not enough, you can only rely on yourself to find a way!" Don't use your real name and identity, don't mention it to anyone in the future, as for what you want to call, you decide for yourself, and don't tell me and your mother! Remember not to come back until you have done something to do, and besides, you have a chance to secretly find out your brother's whereabouts! ”

"Well, the kid got it!" Fu Shengsheng responded.

Fu Wenze paused, wiped his eyes lightly, held Fu Shengsheng's hand with both hands and said: "Son, the road in the future depends on you, no one can protect you, no one can help you, remember to win by outwitting everything, don't fight bravely!" If you had a choice, Daddy would rather you be that idle child again! ”

Feeling his father's concern, Fu Shengsheng's heart was warm, this family affection is the warmest in any world, Fu Shengsheng knelt down for his father with tears, "Dong Dong Dong" kowtowed three times, choked and said: "Dad, you must take care of the old man, as well as your mother and sister, brother, I will definitely find him, and when the child is successful, he will come back to pick up his father and sister!" ”

Fu Wenze slowly helped Fu Shengsheng up, took out a short knife from his waist and handed it to Fu Shengsheng and said: "Dad believes that you will, okay, you must pay attention to safety outside at night, let's go now!" ”

Fu Wenze sent Fu Shengsheng to the door, made a boo gesture, handed him a wooden stick, and commanded softly: "This is a torch, light it again after leaving the village, don't make a noise, go forward, no matter how hard it is, don't look back!" ”

Fu Shengsheng nodded silently, took a deep breath, turned his head and disappeared into the darkness.

Fu Wenze stood quietly at the door for a while before gently closing the door, and said heavily: "Wu'er... Take care! ”

......

Fu Shengsheng, who grew up in the village, is familiar with the roads in the village, and the dogs in the village know him, so he can sneak out of Shuiyue Village smoothly through the night. After leaving the village, Fu Shengsheng didn't dare to bump into it at will, because in addition to passing through a few villages, Shuiyue City, the nearest city here, also had to cross several valleys in the Shuiyue Mountain Range many times, this village is easy to say, but this valley is not very safe at night, especially this Shuiyue City is originally a remote city in Qinzhou, and Shuiyue Village is just separated by a mountain range from Shuiyue City, and it also belongs to a remote village!

Further on, you have to pass through the first valley of the Shuiyue Mountain Range, and I used to go into the mountains with the hunters in the village to hunt, knowing that there are not only wild wolves but also wild leopards in the mountains, and knowing that it is more dangerous to spend the night in the mountains. But he didn't feel so afraid, he always felt that he should have been in the forest.

"What can I do if I don't even dare to set foot in a valley? I'm spending the night in the valley tonight! Thinking of this, he decided to enter the valley and take this as his first test. Fu Shengsheng took out the flint, lit the torch, and resolutely stepped into the first valley.

As he went deeper and deeper, the light in the valley became darker and darker, and Fu Sheng walked alone on the road, although he was safe all the way, but the silence and darkness almost made him feel that he was the only one in the world.

Suddenly, there seemed to be movement in the valley in front of him, Fu Shengsheng stopped and listened carefully to what seemed to be a voice, there were still people in the middle of the night in this mountain outskirts, they must be bad people, he had automatically ignored the possibility that he himself was a bad person, for the sake of caution, Fu Shengsheng hurriedly extinguished the torch, climbed up the mountainside next to him and sneaked in the direction of the sound.
