Chapter II: The Great Qianguo

It is said that in the past, the Great Qianguo needed to drive 10,000 slaves or prisoners into the forbidden land and the Bloody Brake Forest every year to pay respects, and if they did not do so, then a catastrophe would befall the empire.

There was such a time in the history of the Great Qianguo.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a year when the Great Qianguo only handed over more than 9,000 slaves because of the escape of a small number of slaves, which led to the incomplete number of slaves.

Soon after, the city closest to the Bloodbrake Maze was killed overnight, and the death was horrific. I heard that all the blood in everyone's body was drained, like a dried corpse that had been dried for many years.

At first, the Empire had secretly investigated the matter. At that time, the royal family sent a large number of imperial masters, but they still couldn't find any reason.

At this time, rumors abounded, all saying that it was caused by problems caused by sacrifices. Since then, the Great Qianguo no longer dares to treat the memorial service carelessly. From then on, the empire would gather all the prisoners in the country, and every year they would be driven into the forbidden land, and the prisoners would be strictly guarded along the way to prevent them from escaping.

However, how can there be so many people in an empire who break the law every year, especially if they know that they will be driven to sacrifice. The practice of the Great Qianguo made everyone fearful, and over time, there were not so many prisoners, because everyone knew the fate of crimes.

However, the number of people who pay tribute every year has never decreased, and this reason is known only to the major families. It wasn't until Qin Zhan's father took his mother to eliminate this hidden danger for the Great Qianguo that the sacrifice was canceled, but no one knows what happened.

It is said that at that time, Qin Zhan's parents hid in the crowd of memorials and entered the forbidden place, and soon after, many people escaped from the forbidden place one after another. But no one could tell the story of what was going on inside the forbidden ground. Everyone said that there was fog everywhere inside, and they all walked blindly, walking and walking, and they didn't know how to get out.

It's just that among these people, there is no Qin Zhan's father and mother.

The following year, the royal family still prepared 10,000 prisoners and drove them into the Bloody Brake Forest. This time, almost everyone came back one after another. So in the third year, the royal family tried not to sacrifice anymore, but there was no slaughter of the city.

So everyone felt that this disaster had been eliminated by Qin Zhan's parents. The empire was grateful for the merits of Qin Zhan's parents, and the royal family made an exception to make Qin Lang's only son a first-class marquis.

Therefore, Qin Zhan became the youngest marquis of the Great Qianguo. It's just that this marquis does not serve in the court and has no real power, and the emperor just gave Qin Zhan countless wealth for him to squander.

At present, there is only one person in the huge Qin Mansion, Qin Zhan. Qin Zhan has no parents, no elders, no brothers and sisters, so no one restrains Qin Zhan. No one taught, and no one cared about him.

Later, Qin Zhan developed the habit of stealing chickens and dogs from the thugs in the market, and what he did every day was just for fun. Because the name of Qin Zhan's first-class marquis is there, and the division of ranks in the Great Kingdom is also relatively strict, and civilians below are all capital crimes, so everyone turns a blind eye to what Qin Zhan did.

Although Qin Zhan has no real power, his status above 10,000 people under one person is there, and the most important thing is that he is rich. So, those ruffians who had nothing to do all day long wanted to please him, and Qin Zhan never skimped on rewards, after all, he was not short of money, and he didn't have that concept.

In addition, the imperial family was indifferent to Qin Zhan, as if it was just to show outsiders that they did not treat the descendants of the God of War badly, which caused many servants in the Hou Mansion to look down on Qin Zhan in their hearts. These minions thought that Qin Zhan had just cast a good tire, and they had a lot of money in private. In addition, Qin Zhan had no one to teach him to cultivate, resulting in Qin Zhan being six years old and still an ordinary person, and ordinary children of the same age could not beat him.

And the reason for what happened in today's bazaar is that the house slaves are doing evil outside in the name of Qin Zhan. This is also commonplace, after all, Qin Zhan is still young, and many times it is the minions who instigate and lure him to do something that bullies the weak and fears the hard.

Let's talk about the Great Qianguo. In comparison with the Great Empire on this continent of cultivation, it is just an inconspicuous empire among hundreds of millions of countries, even ranked last, and is on the very edge of the continent.

The poor geographical location has led to a great lack of cultivation resources in the Great Qianguo. However, it is said that the Great Qianguo used to be a country rich in natural resources, and the Tianxuan Realm has become normal, and even more cultivators have broken through to the Yuan Dan Realm, and they are really embarking on the road of cultivation.

After playing crazy with the dog and his gang for a whole day, it was not until dusk that Qin Zhan reluctantly returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion.

Standing in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Qin Zhan looked up at the plaque rewarded by the emperor's imperial pen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Zhenguo Qingshi, is it me?"

Afterwards, Qin Zhan kicked the gate of the Hou Mansion a few times. This is Qin Zhan's standard action every time he returns to the Hou Mansion.

With the dull sound of the door opening, two elderly house slaves opened a door. What catches your eye is a desolate and decaying scene, only to see that the original antique courtyard is now overgrown with weeds, and the cracks of the bluestone slabs are overgrown with weeds, which makes people sigh for a while.

Generally speaking, there are 800 soldiers in the Yipin Houfu of the Great Qianguo, 10,000 households, and there are hundreds of domestic slaves, and they will also recruit a lot of customers in private.

But the Qin Mansion is an exception, because the master is few and weak, the house slaves have no one in their eyes. In addition, in the early years, many minions in the mansion secretly coveted the money of the Qin Mansion in private, colluded with the inside and outside, and slowly almost emptied the entire Hou Mansion, and finally led to the strength of the Hou Mansion not even being comparable to the Seven-Rank Family.

In fact, at the beginning, there were still some old slaves who were grateful for the favor of the old master and could barely maintain order in the house. But later, I don't know where Qin Zhan recruited some indiscriminate people from the outside to do evil in the mansion, coupled with the old slaves' old age and weak strength, the evil slaves can no longer control the matter of stealing chickens and dogs. At first, they were still petty thefts, but later they directly turned into open robberies.

Although Qin Zhan was small, he was not a fool, and when he saw the minions stealing the Qin Mansion like this, he finally mustered up the courage to stand up in front of them and scold them angrily.

But what they didn't expect was that not only were they not afraid, but they viciously threatened Qin Zhan, and if they dared to speak out, they would secretly kill him.

Qin Zhan was young and had no force, where had he seen such a world, he couldn't help but collapse to the ground in fright. Subsequently, with the unremitting efforts of this group of robbers, the Qin Mansion was emptied little by little. There were only a dozen old men left who had served Qin Lang, as well as a few children of the old servants.
