The autumn wind is bleak, there are withered yellow weeds everywhere outside Jiuquan City, a gust of autumn wind blows, the yellow leaves on the trees fall one by one, and several old crow's nests on the branches of the trees are swaying back and forth in the wind. Occasionally, some dead branches could not withstand the ravages of the autumn wind, and after breaking, they fell heavily on the thick dead leaves on the ground.

With a "bang", a flock of birds pecking at tree seeds on the ground flapped their wings in fright and flew away.

In the distance, the sky was half red, and outside the city was full of ragged homeless people, most of them unclothed, who were collecting the dead branches and leaves under the trees and carrying them back to their simple huts to boil water for warmth. As for cooking, it is simply out of reach for them, and every day at noon, the people of the Liangwang Mansion will give porridge outside the city, and it will not be waiting. Although the gruel in their broken bowl can be seen, for these homeless people, it is tantamount to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.

There was no green in a radius of several miles outside Jiuquan City, and the bark of the trees that could be eaten was stripped by the displaced people. In the chaotic world, human life is as cheap as mustard, and it is good to be able to barely fill your stomach. Crying and scolding came and went among the homeless people.

In Jiuquan City, the people of the city shuttled through the streets, and the vendors in single clothes were shouting hard, and it was still an hour before it was dark, and they could sell a little before the curfew. Patrolling sergeants patrol back and forth in the city. This is Jiuquan City, the new capital of the Liang Kingdom, and since the Han Dynasty, Jiuquan City has been an important military town in Hexi. It is located at the foot of the Qilian Mountains and is the throat of the Central Plains communicating with the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor.

Three years ago, after Li Wei, the lord of Xiliang, moved the capital from Dunhuang to this Jiuquan City, which led to a surge of people in the city, and the displaced people from Luoyang and Guanzhong who fled to Hexi gathered around Jiuquan City to live on the relief of the Liangwang Mansion. With the increasing number of displaced people who heard the news, Liangwangfu also went from directly distributing food at the beginning to now having one gruel a day.

Liang Wangfu is the mansion of Li Wei, the lord of Xiliang, it was originally the county guard of Jiuquan, at the beginning of the capital move, the long history Zhang Miao asked to build the Liang Wangfu, Li Wei to the beginning of the country, the cost is very much, should save expenses, reduce the burden of the people, so he ordered the county guard to re-expand and repair as the palace.

In the Liangwang Mansion, a remote courtyard, the atmosphere at the moment is a little depressing, the deserted courtyard is only served by two people, an old man and a young man, a young man lying on the bed in the house, with a tall nose, sword-like eyebrows flying obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corner of the sideburns, and a handsome side face, but also a handsome young man. But at this moment, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, his head was wrapped in a thick white cloth, the white cloth on the back of his head oozed a little blood, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

In front of the bed sat a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with satin-like black hair reaching her waist, slender eyebrows, and a pair of moon-like eyes, pink jade cheeks, and cherry-like red lips, fresh and refined. From time to time, she wiped the boy's face and hands with a hot towel, and sometimes frowned.

"Xin'er, the soup is ready, and I will wait for the young man to drink the medicine in a while." An old man came into the room and said to the girl. He was full of white hair, slightly hunched waist, and walked straight to the bed with a bowl of soup and medicine in both hands.

"Got it, Daddy." The girl named Xin'er answered. She took the decoction with both hands and placed it on the table in front of the bed.

"The doctor said that he couldn't wake up tonight, and the young boy might never wake up, how good is this." The old man sighed and paced back and forth in the room.

"Daddy, I believe that the young son Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely wake up." Xin'er said with a worried face.

"I hope so, the eldest prince was as kind to us as a mountain during his lifetime, if the young prince really has an accident, how can we be worthy of the eldest prince under Jiuquan!" The old man couldn't help but choke with tears in his eyes as he spoke, and choked up several times.

"Xin'er, you give the medicine to the young man in a while, I'll go make something to eat, and Mrs. Hui will have something to eat when she wakes up." The old man said and walked towards the outside of the house.

"Well, Daddy walks slowly." Xin'er said in response.

After the old man left, Xin'er took the decoction to the bed, scooped a mouthful of the decoction with a spoon and put it into her mouth, leaned over, and shyly passed the decoction in her mouth to the young man's mouth one by one, and wiped the decoction from the corner of her mouth with a towel from time to time.

The boy had been lying in bed for a day, and when he was brought back, he was unconscious, and according to the guards of the house, he fell from his horse and hit the back of his head on a rock, revealing the bones. Blood flowed all over the ground, and there was only a faint breath so far. The famous doctors in the whole Jiuquan City were invited, and all of them were helpless, and after discussing together, they said goodbye after prescribing a pair of prescriptions, and bluntly said that if they couldn't wake up tonight, they would not be able to return to heaven.

After Xin'er waited for the young man to take the medicine, she fell asleep on the side of the bed unconsciously. She had been taking care of the boy since she was injured yesterday evening, and now she hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night.

Suddenly, the young man lying on the bed moved his fingers, and after a while, a painful moan was heard.

"I wiped it, it didn't hurt so much to get a headshot." Li Yan thought to himself. Immediately after that, a huge amount of information came from the brain, and the already painful head was even more painful at the moment.

"That's too mysterious, isn't it? Didn't I die? From the information in his head, I learned that this young man is also called Li Yan, the grandson of Li Wei, the current lord of Xiliang, and the son of the late prince Li Tan. And now it is the fourth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the fourth year of the founding of the Western Liang Kingdom.

"Oh my God, this is a thousand years of soul." Li Yan laughed at himself in his heart. He was killed by a sneak attack while on a mission, and this Li Yan of the same name was tricked into riding a fierce horse so that he fell off the horse and died, the strange thing is that he actually crossed, I really don't know if it was lucky or unlucky.

"It's good to be alive! Regardless of this, only being alive is the most important thing. It's just a pity that this body of mine died in vain. Brother, if you have any unfinished business, I, Li Yan, will definitely complete it for you, you can go with confidence. Li Yan said silently in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a "gurgling" in his stomach, and Li Yan felt hungry like never before.

Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, looking at the empty roof and the curtain on the bed, this was the first time Li Yan saw the world after waking up. When he stretched out his hands to the left and right, his right hand touched something soft, and Li Yan's first reaction was the steamed buns in the army before, but it seemed that the weight was a little less. Then he slowly grabbed it with his right hand, and it turned out to be still warm.

"This doesn't feel right, it's definitely not steamed buns." Li Yan turned his head sideways and looked.

"Oh my God, I made a mistake." Hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"Ahhh A crisp voice came, and Xin'er was looking at Li Yan with a flushed face, covering the place where she had just been violated by Li Yan with her hands.

"Shao~ Young boy, you~ You finally woke up." Xin'er blushed, looked at Li Yan in surprise and said incoherently.

"Xin'er, listen to me, I really didn't mean it just now, I caught it wrong." Li Yan said with a look of shame, after all, he is a child who has been loved by five stresses, four beauties and three since he was a child.

"Young boy, you are a hooligan." Xin'er stomped her feet angrily.

"Ouch, my head." Li Yan said with a painful face. When he just turned his head sideways, the wound on the back of his head was stimulated, and Li Yan finally understood what it meant to have a splitting headache.

"You deserve it, who called the young man you are not honest." Xin'er said angrily.

"Xin'er, if you have anything to eat, go get me some food, I'm hungry." Li Yan quickly changed the topic.

"Yes, yes, my dad is doing it. Don't move, I'll get you something to eat right now. Xin'er said as she trotted out of the house.

From the memory in my mind, I know that this girl's name is Xin'er, and she has been in the Li family since Li Yan can remember. There is also her father, surnamed Liu, and the other people in the house call him Liu Laohan. Although they all call him Liu Laohan, he is only in his fifties now, but he has been seriously injured in his foot and walks with a limp. More than ten years ago, he was exiled from Luoyang to Hexi, begging along the road with a child, and was taken in by Li Yan's father, Li Tan, and has stayed in the Li family since then.

After a while, Xin'er came in with steaming porridge, followed by Liu Laohan.

"Young boy, come, drink some porridge." Xin'er walked to the bed and said.

"Xin'er, didn't you see that the young man was injured? You will serve the young boy yourself. Liu Laohan saw that Li Yan wanted to get up from the bed and reproached.

"Uncle Liu, no need, I can do it myself." Li Yan said.

"Then what can you do, you are seriously injured, you should not move much." Liu Laohan hurriedly stopped Li Yan from getting up.

"Young boy, Xin'er is here to serve you to drink porridge." Xin'er sat down in front of the bed and said. As he spoke, he blew the porridge in the spoon and fed Li Yan one bite at a time.

Li Yan also had mixed tastes in his heart, "My first life of fame, I have fallen to the point of asking someone to feed me." ”

After Li Yan drank the porridge, Liu Laohan said to Xin'er: "You will go to the lady's room in a while and tell her that the young son has woken up." ”

"If Madame hasn't woken up yet, you don't have to disturb her, Madame is too hard, taking care of the young son day and night." Old man Liu instructed Xin'er.

"Got it, Daddy." Xin'er said.

"Young boy, you have a rest, when Madame comes, you must follow her wishes, Madame has been taking care of you since you were injured, and she has just slept for more than an hour. You said, the eldest son's funeral period has just passed, if you have a good one, how can you let the lady be good. Speaking of this, Liu Laohan also burst into tears.

"Alright, alright. I'll do what you want in a minute. Li Yan, who was full, wanted to lie down well.

When Xin'er and Liu Laohan went out, Li Yan lay on the bed and fell into deep thought.

It's the fourth year of Yixi, that is, the last year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and although I don't know much about what happened, as a person who joined the army from university, I know a little bit of historical knowledge.

From the Yongjia disaster in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor Huai was killed, the Huns occupied Chang'an, and the Hu people wantonly tortured and killed the Han people for nearly a hundred years.

After the establishment of the former Qin Dynasty, Fu Jian briefly unified northern China, but the Battle of Weishui was defeated by the army of the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it has been in a slump since then. The regimes that had been conquered by the former Qin Empire were restored one after another, and his generals supported their own troops to establish themselves as kings, and Fu Jian himself was hanged to death by the Qiang general Yao Chang. Since then, northern China has fallen into an era of political division and mutual conquest.

It has been more than eight years since his cheap grandfather Li Wei broke away from the Xiliang Kingdom established by the main section of the Northern Liang Kingdom, controlling Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Xihai, and most of the Western Regions.

After the death of Qin Fujian, Lü Guang, who was ordered to conquer the Western Regions, established the Houliang Kingdom. After the death of the Later Liang Kingdom, most of the territory was inherited by the Northern Liang Kingdom, Li Wei broke away from the Northern Liang King Duan Ye to establish the Western Liang Kingdom, and the Huns Fuqu Mengxun killed the Northern Liang King Duan Ye and inherited the Northern Liang Kingdom Zuo.

To the south of the Western Liang Kingdom is the Tuyuhun entrenched in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and to the east is the Northern Liang Kingdom established by the Lushuihu tribe and the Mengxun tribe of the Xiongnu tribe, and the Southern Liang Kingdom established by the Xianbei people in Hexi. In addition, there were the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which controlled most of the southern territory, as well as the Northern Wei, Later Qin, Southern Yan, and Northern Yan Kingdoms.

This is really a heroic era, comparable to the Warring States Period, the era of the heroes. Since God has given you the opportunity, you have to mix up your personal appearance. It's just that from my memory, the situation is not good.

Li Yan thought about it like this, and fell asleep unconsciously.
