Sincerity is one of them. Before the fire, she was taken out of the palace by one of Concubine Mei's personal maidservants. The maidservant took the infant princess to the border where Guliang and Guiyun intersected - Zhicheng County, where she hid her identity and lived peacefully here for ten years.

A year ago, the maidservant died of an old illness caused by overwork. Before dying, he told her about the little princess's life experience, and returned the relics left by Concubine Mei to the little princess - a delicately crafted, jade blood-red phoenix dance pendant and a bag. Then they entrusted the princess, who was still young, to a kind and kind Mr. Gojuku who had always taken care of them. But Mr. Na's wife and daughter often couldn't tolerate the little princess, and abandoned her at this most dangerous time.

It is false to say that there is no complaint, but for that family, sincerity or gratitude is the majority. After all, because of their help, she also lived a peaceful life for one more year.

But now, no matter what the emotion is, she doesn't have the strength to read it. Zhicheng followed the fleeing crowd for three days, his legs had long been unconscious, and his body didn't seem to be his own. When he finally arrived at the nearest Shucheng, he was weak, and his whole body was paralyzed under the city wall as if he had been pulled out of his bones.

When the commander of the city guard led the soldiers to give each of them a bowl of water and a steamed bun, moistened their mouths, and filled their stomachs, they seemed to wake up again.

But she didn't know that every step she took next, she was lamenting, it was better to die of thirst and starvation early, which could be regarded as an ending that she could rest assured.

"Shucheng is also in danger, not a place for you to stay for a long time. Now that you have eaten and drunk enough, if you want to live, flee north! A bowl of water, a steamed bun, and a brisk word are the reasons why they disregard these tens of thousands of lives.

The gates of the city were closed, and no one was seen stretching out his head. No one had the strength to shout loudly, and the dull sound of slamming the door was like the death knell of Hades, knocking on the hearts of every outlaw who had no place to return and no one to rely on.

The poor men waited in the city, begging humbly, and never a single figure came out again, not even a sound was heard.

The sun is setting, and the sky is full of red glow. They never change in any way because of the life and death of this world.

After two days, some people couldn't stand it anymore and had already begun to leave, and many people followed one after another. Zhicheng hurriedly followed, her calves were short and she walked slowly, if she was the last one left, she would be crazy.

"Uncle Xue, where are we going?" Zhicheng asked weakly a middle-aged man next to him who was holding two six or seven-year-old boys, who was an uncle who was familiar with his mother when he was working in the county guard's mansion.

When she lived in Zhicheng County, in order to hide her identity, the maidservant pretended to be her sincere mother, and made up a life story to the locals: said that her "father" used to be an errand in the palace of Guliang Wang, because he didn't know which master he inadvertently upset and lost his head. She was a woman with an infant child who could not survive in Beijing, and originally wanted to go to another county to join relatives, but the relatives moved and did not know where to find them. Only then did I think that Zhicheng was at the junction of Guliang and Guiyun, with a wide and prosperous territory, and perhaps there was a place for their "mother and son". If you are half-real and half-virtual, fortunately, you are surrounded by people who are far away from the royal capital and work hard, so it doesn't cause any suspicion.

When they arrived in the city, their mother and son were able to settle down with the help of Mr. Ji, and later Mr. Ji relied on his relationship to find a job for the maid in the county guard's mansion, so she was able to support Zhicheng so much. For Ji Yue, sincerity is sincere gratitude. As for the maidservant, the two have a sincere mother-daughter affection.

Uncle Xue's cloudy eyes looked at her sadly, and he said in a dark voice: "Just now, they said they would go to Xingcheng, some said they would go to Yaocheng, and some said they would go to Yujun over there. Xiao Cheng, now we are like this, we are all taking one step at a time, no matter where we go, as long as we can live! ”

Truly! For those of them who are like stray dogs now, being alive is the most important thing.

Zhicheng deeply believes this.

Xingcheng? Guliang Wangdu!

Zhicheng lowered his head and rubbed the piece of Phoenix Dance Blood Jade through his coat, since the maid left, she had been wearing it close to her body, and now, it could give her a little support. Thinking of the place that was supposed to be her "home", Zhicheng didn't feel it at all. But thinking of the words left for her in her mother's bag, she knew that she couldn't go to this Xingcheng for the time being.

Yaocheng? Zhicheng shook his head, I hadn't heard of it.

But is it a righteous song to Yu County?

Zhicheng remembered one thing that the maidservant told her when she told her life experience, her mother Mei Kexin had a good sister before she got married, called Xiao Ling, the daughter of a prince of the opposite sex in Gu Liang, and was named the lord of Xiaoyang. Soon after the mother concubine got married, for the sake of the friendly friendship between Yisong and Gu Liang, she married into Yisong and became the young queen of Yisong.

But later, the two never contacted each other again.

It's been so long, I don't know...... Will she help me for the sake of the concubine? Sincerely, my heart is worried.

No matter which county town, Zhicheng didn't go.

At noon the next day, the scorching sun mercilessly melted the lives of this miserable group of refugees. On the sixth day of losing her stable life, she finally collapsed.

When they opened their eyes again, it was about the same as when they arrived at Shucheng, and their tens of thousands of people were crowded under the city walls like beggars.

The difference is that this time they have cool and delicious water that they can drink freely, and sweet and soft steamed buns.

Zhicheng looked at the person who held him in his arms with dizzy eyes - the man who had proposed marriage to his maidservant, honest, diligent, and willing to endure hardships. It turned out that the family had a few fields, and he, his parents, and a stupid younger brother were barely able to make ends meet.

The maidservant took a fancy to him and agreed to him, but when he proposed to marry with Zhicheng, his father and mother turned their faces. A daughter-in-law is not easy to support, and she still carries an oil bottle, and the family is all drunk.

The servant girl didn't say a word, and she didn't pay attention to him anymore, and this matter was considered yellow. I heard that two days after that, he fell and injured his leg when he went down to the ground, and within half a month, his stupid brother also ended his suffering in this life. Soon after, his elderly parents also passed away due to grief and exhaustion.

Zhicheng remembered that when she knew these things, she clearly saw a flash of water in the corner of the maid's eyes.

Since then, whoever mentions the maid has made it clear that if she is not allowed to take the child, then there is no need to speak.

After that, no one really spoke again.

When he was mourning the servant, Zhicheng had seen him, but he was sad and had no time to deal with it. never thought about it, but this time it was he who saved her life.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!" I am sincerely grateful to him.

"You're fine!" The gray-haired, ragged man grinned, and his white teeth were particularly conspicuous against the yellow and black background.

Zhicheng can't help but feel sad, seeing human nature at the moment of life and death, her mother has really dragged her down in this half of her life!

"Where are we?" Zhicheng hurriedly opened the topic, and if she thought about it again, she was afraid that she would really die of guilt.

Honest people have to answer questions: "Yu Jun! ”

Yujun, which belongs to the Song of Righteousness, intersects with Guliang.

Zhicheng looked at the two vigorous stone inscriptions on the top of the city with the dazzling sunlight. I just feel that my heart is tight, is it destined?

How do you find her? She has a noble status, how can you see her? When she sees it, will she believe in herself? Can your identity be made public now? Will she help herself? Zhicheng drank cool clean water and chewed soft steamed buns, and his mind had already flown far.

There is food in the stomach, and I no longer feel how tormented the days are. Two days passed in a trance, and although the Yisong people did not say how to settle them, they would supply twenty buckets of water and two steamed buns per person per day. Although everyone doesn't get much, it is already a great gift for those of them who have nowhere to rely on and are struggling on the edge of life and death.

When people have strength and heart, they begin to release their emotions. These poor people beside Zhicheng who were worried and frightened, with strong hatred, scolded all the officials of Gu Liang from top to bottom every day, and praised all the kind-hearted masters who praised Yi from head to toe.

It's boring, but it's interesting to listen to, because their conversation is mixed with some of the current situation in Kyushu. Zhicheng couldn't help but think of the general trend of the world he analyzed when he was chatting with Mr. Ji before.

The land of Kyushu is vast and vast. In this land, human beings who have lived for an unknown number of years have formed a whole system, and they have ruled this land and become the masters of this vast land.

The Xining Dynasty, a prosperous dynasty, ruled the land for eight hundred years. But on the day when the Xining Dynasty was founded for 800 years, a small tribe in the northwest desert of Kyushu heard a voice: Virtue is not virtuous, ten fingers are arguing!

Soon, the land of Kyushu was full of smoke and war. Thirty years later, when the last monarch of the Xining Dynasty, King He, collapsed on the Wenxiang nephrite hibiscus, the land of Kyushu completely became an ownerless piece of fat, making people fight for it at will. Originally, because the ancestors of Xining were broad-hearted and fat, and they were bold in their actions, the princes and kings who were produced by the feudal system eventually became the bane of the Xining Dynasty.

When the Xining Dynasty was first established, in order to stabilize the rule of the dynasty, the Holy Ancestor formulated a feudal system. The specific implementation is: in addition to the eldest son who inherits the throne, the other concubines of the monarch and some meritorious heroes with greater merits, or the relatives of some favorite concubines of the harem are divided into local princes as small sects. They are also large clans with the same surname in various fiefs, and their thrones are also inherited by the eldest son, and the rest of the concubines or meritorious heroes are then divided as small clans as princes. And so on until they have the least amount of land and rights in their hands. In this way, although the power of the Xining Dynasty was effectively consolidated, it made the monarch a veritable "prince of princes". Fundamentally, under this system, as long as the princes are loyal, the monarch becomes an ornament. As long as there is an opportunity, this land can change owners.

Sure enough, as soon as the edict was issued, the kings of the great vassal states were busy fighting for land, population, and dominance over other vassal states, and constantly engaged in annexation wars, gradually forming a situation in which the princes competed for hegemony. After the collapse of King He, the land of Kyushu was completely reduced to a sea of fire.

Ten years later, a complete Kyushu was divided into ten pieces by the consensus of the "people of the world" and became ten independent states with their own monarchs. They are intrigued with each other, and they help each other, not letting others become bigger, nor falling behind. Although there are small frictions and small quarrels, in the end, the people can have a chance to breathe.

A war of annexation, and the small tribe that had passed on the Mandate of Heaven in the past had become a great country. Sixty years later, the country was the first to provoke the war. Because they once again perceive the destiny of heaven: if they want to get their place, the earth is divided into six combinations! In other words, there are only six countries that can survive in the end.

The land of Kyushu was once again covered by the flames of war, and 60 years of recuperation and recuperation supported the 20-year war of the ten great powers.

Finally, under the edict of the "Mandate of Heaven" again, there were six countries left in the consensus of the people of the world: Guliang, which occupies most of the north, Guiyun, which rules the rich south, Shangyang, which is entrenched in the snow-capped mountains in the southwest, and two smaller countries: Yisong and Fengyang, which are sandwiched between several large countries with their own advantages. and the clan who was the "messenger" of the gods and heralded the "oracles of heaven", which occupied the entire desert in the northwest.

The strongest of the six countries in China was originally the Guliang country. Later, King Xiangu Liang forced to kill all his relatives who competed for the throne before ascending the throne, and the original uncle, three brothers and one sister, all of them were cleared. After ascending the throne, a large number of officials and generals were cleaned up due to Mei Kexin's incident, which paralyzed the government of Guliang State for a time. Later, the new king ordered to summon the world's talents, break the ancestral system, regardless of the country, regardless of birth, meritocracy. Under the tolerant politics, the situation in Guliang is also slowly improving. But only three years after ascending the throne, the new king died. Because the queen was only diagnosed with pregnancy a few days before the death of the new king, the queen was in charge of the princess and the princess until the birth of the crown or the crown. A woman is naturally difficult to convince the public, and that woman is still a princess from another country. Now there has been a lot of trouble in the Guliang court, and I heard that there are many factions fighting for power. Otherwise, Guiyun would not have been able to take Zhicheng so easily, and Gu Liang had not reacted after many days.

Guiyun Country is now the strongest in the Six Kingdoms. King Guiyun is old and strong, and he is still contributing to the succession of the family at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and it can be said that his children are three times more than the students in the private school when Zhicheng went to school. It is reported that the son born last year is his sixty-second child. The most famous thing is that King Guiyun is a "smiling" person, and I heard that no matter what time he is, the smile on his face has never disappeared.

Adjacent to both countries is the country of Yisong. Yi Song was very weak among the six kingdoms, but he was able to gain a firm foothold among the two great powers, relying on his marriage with other kingdoms and the virtues of the two kings who cared for the people and loved the talents. Unlike other countries, the Song of Righteousness has two thrones, divided into the upper king and the younger king. The next king is succeeded by the person appointed by the first king and the first young king, and the young king is also assumed by the heirs of the first king and the first young king, but the choice is decided by the ministers by election.

Moreover, it is Feng Yang, the weakest of the six countries. To be able to gain a foothold in this Kyushu is by a river and a mountain. The river is the Liujin River, as the name suggests, the river flows with gold, because the whole river is in the territory of Fengyang, so the "flow" is "stay". The mountain is called Youyu Mountain, and this mountain is a sacred mountain, and it is rumored that one of the ancestors of human beings in ancient times, Youyu, became a mountain after his body died. The ancestors are good at singing, good music, often leading to a hundred birds and songs, the phoenix soars to the side, and the name of the phoenix is also derived from this. There is a temple on the mountain, and I heard that it is very spiritual to make a wish.

Then, there is Shangyang Kingdom. Many people say that Shangyang's power has actually surpassed Guliang and Guiyun a long time ago, but because it is located in the southwest, it is relatively remote and cannot make much action. A large part of the country of Shangyang is built on snow-capped mountains, and its royal palace is built on the second highest snow-capped mountain in Kyushu, because the tallest one often has avalanches. Perhaps because of the environment, Shangyang people like white and hate red. It was also clearly stipulated that if there was no happy event, its people were not allowed to wear red clothes. In addition, this country also likes to marry, for example, the eldest sister of the current king of Shangyang is Queen Guliang - the sincere mother-in-law, and the younger sister is the queen of Yisong.

Finally, there is the mysterious country - the Dian Clan. The ancestors of the Dian tribe were nomads in the Northwest Desert in the early days, and later, by some chance, they actually had the ability to "receive" the will of the gods. Since then, the people of the Dian tribe have completely settled in one place, waiting for the "decree" of the gods at any time. With the continuous change of power in the land of Kyushu, the people of the Dian tribe have become the rulers of a large country from the original nomads, and they are arrogant and arrogant, and they take the name of the country after their clan. Unlike other nations, there is no such title as king, and their most honorable person is a saint or priest, and women are honored as saints and men as priests. But saints or priests never cared about state affairs, and their main task was to receive the Mandate of Heaven.

It is known that the Dian clan has received the Mandate of Heaven three times. The first two mandates of heaven made a complete country into the sixth-point world it is today. This last one, depending on the meaning, is to divide for a long time and must be together, and ninety-nine will be one. One hundred and eighty years of strong horses and soldiers, waiting for the day, the hegemon of the six parties has long been impatient. The destiny of heaven returns, just look at who will kill the deer this time?

Mandate of Heaven? Zhicheng couldn't help but feel sad, in a sentence of destiny, so many people are like floating grass in the river, and they will be submerged at any time.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings! Everyone has a hunch that an even greater bloody storm is coming.

So Uncle Xue said that being alive is already lucky.
