For a country, the king and the saint are indispensable, the king manages the affairs of the dynasty and the state, and the saint manages the faith of the people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The former involves the material requirements of all living beings, such as clothing, food, shelter and transportation, while the latter is related to the spiritual needs of everyone.

Five hundred years ago, it was the most glorious history of the snow country in the past thousand years.

At that time, the king of the snow country was a queen who will go down in history, His Majesty King Zhen. The saint who chose her was the Dancing Sun Fairy.

During her reign, the Snow Country became increasingly rich and strong, making the foreign countries all subjugated, and even occupied the head of the four countries for a period of time.

She reigned for a total of 312 years, during which the snow country has been smooth, the world is peaceful, and her political achievements have been recognized by the will of heaven, so at the end of the 312 years of the Zhen Dynasty, the king of Zhen, the fairy of Wuyang and a kind of dependent ministers in the witness of tens of thousands of people in the royal capital, took the dragon car of the fairy world, soared through the clouds and drove away, and since then it has been ranked in the immortal class.

King Zhen is also one of the few queens in the history of the Snow Country, and she is the first queen of "enlightenment".

After experiencing the peaceful and prosperous era under the rule of King Zhen, and then the new saint Yingtai Fairy chose King Yi to succeed to the throne, King Yi can only be regarded as a mediocre person compared to King Zhen, he relied on the foundation laid by King Zhen, ate 230 years of old capital, and finally lost his way, and died of martyrdom with Yingtai Fairy.

After King Yi, the situation in the snow country is gradually declining, and the original prosperity of Zhenyi is no longer there.

After King Zhen and King Yi, the current king, the king of Liao, and the holy daughter who assisted him was the descendant of the Yingtai fairy: Fengyi Fairy.

In the first fifty years, the Liao King was also able to make great efforts to improve the country's situation more or less.

It's a pity that he couldn't hold on, and fifty years later, he began to loosen up and indulge in women's sex, so that the regime was completely usurped by his eldest son and Dazai, and he himself was completely hollowed out.

Since the 82nd year of the King of Liao, the King of Liao has refused to go to court for five consecutive years on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Up to now, in the 87th year of the Liao Dynasty, the world has been in chaos, the people are full of complaints, and the major states have long ceased to take the central monarchy seriously and have their own policies.

In addition, the orc tribes in the western part of the kingdom have also begun to attack human cities in a big way, and several cities have already fallen into the hands of orcs.

The area where the war between humans and orcs is most intense is Qingzhou, which is the next state next door to Yuntai Prefecture, where there are many mountains and rare people, and it is the most concentrated area of the orc tribe, which can be said to be the forefront of the battlefield between humans and orcs.

Corruption and disorder within the officialdom and the inaction of the kingdom's army led to repeated invasions by orcs, and rampant beasts and monsters...... The people are already in dire straits.

However, the group of people in the royal capital are keen on power struggles and live a luxurious life of drunkenness.

In addition, the major sects are also secretly recruiting troops, ready to make a big difference in the coming troubled times.

……

Before listening to Lu Ze say this, Nan Yan thought that this world was peaceful, he had been living a comfortable life in this remote small county, and almost became a frog at the bottom of the well.

After the divorce on the same day, Lu Ze and the elders of the Lu family stayed for a few days, of course, in the small courtyard of Nanyan's family.

This Lu Ze is said to have been a great civil official in the imperial court, and then because he couldn't get used to Dazai's practice of covering the sky with one hand, he resigned in anger and returned to his hometown.

So his knowledge is enough to impress Nan Yan, these days when he and Yun Hao talk freely, Nan Yan will always intentionally or unintentionally come to the side to eavesdrop a few words to understand the outside world.

From the conversation between the two, Nan Yan also learned some things about his fiancée and the origin of the "marriage contract".

Lu Ziyi, born in the same year as Nan Yan, is one month younger than Nan Yan, and is now thirteen years old.

The first meeting between Ziyi and Nanyan was the birthday of the old man Qianzhan ten years ago.

Ziyi, who was only three years old at the time, went out for the first time under the leadership of her father, and seemed very restrained, and after coming to Qianjia, she always followed behind her parents and did not dare to play with the children around her.

At that time, she happened to meet the three-year-old Nanyan, who was going up the tree and down the river with her little aunt Chihiro, playing crazy everywhere.

Ziyi, who was attracted to the two, had been secretly watching them.

"Do you want to play together?" The little Nanyan noticed the shy gaze in the crowd, so she ran over and stretched out her hand and asked.

After hesitating for a while, Ziyi Little Lori was encouraged by her parents to play with Zhengtai Xiaonanyan and Chihiro's little aunt, who was only ten years old.

Over time, the three of them became acquainted.

Seeing his daughter playing with her friend Yun Hao's son from afar, a thought jumped into Lu Ze's mind.

"I said, Brother Yunhao, how is my daughter?"

"It's cute, haha." Yun Hao replied with a smile.

"I also think your son is very good, why don't we just get married?"

"Oh? That's great! Brother Lu and I hit it off at first sight, and if we can accomplish this, it can be regarded as a beautiful conversation! ”

"Then it's decided!"

……

Soon after, under the witness of the old man Qianzhan and the old man of the Lu family, Lu Ze and Yun Hao concluded a baby kiss for their children.

Of course, Nanyan was still young at this time, even if he told him, "Little sister Ziyi will be your wife in the future, you have to take good care of her!" He would only smile stupidly, "Of course! I'll take good care of her! ”

At that time, he had no idea what the smiles on the lips of the adults meant.

After growing up, the two hardly saw each other again, and after a long time, Nanyan almost forgot about it.

The reason why the two of them couldn't meet each other after that was because Ziyi was four years old when she was selected by Elder Huiye of the Haoxue Sect and accepted as an inner disciple.

After that, Ziyi practiced behind Elder Kabaya for almost all the years, until she was thirteen years old.

Not long ago, when Elder Kaguya took his disciple Ziyi to pay homage to the Holy Maiden Fairy Fengyi, he was robbed of his most beloved disciple by Fairy Fengyi on the spot.

The Holy Maiden is the most noble existence of the Snow Clan, to some extent even more noble than the king, since she opened her golden mouth and wanted to choose Ziyi as the next Holy Maiden, Elder Kaguya had no choice but to cut her love.

At this time, she was upset because of the loss of her beloved apprentice, and left a letter in front of the sect leader Bai Hong, "The old lady is unhappy, go out and slip away" and ran away from home......

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the Lu family and his party were ready to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Zeshen mysteriously summoned Nan Yan to a corner of the courtyard alone and talked to him alone.

"Nanyan's nephew." Lu Ze looked regretful, "As a father, in fact, I hope that my little daughter Yi'er can marry you and live an ordinary life." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "But as a Snow Countryman, I can't disobey the choice of the Holy Maiden, I feel extremely honored that she can choose the little girl as her heir, and now that the Snow Country is in danger, a new Holy Maiden and a new king are urgently needed to stabilize the world...... If the little girl can take on this heavy responsibility, although it is too heavy for her as a woman, I will still be proud of her. ”

"Well, I understand what Uncle Lu said." Nan Yan nodded.

In fact, now he has forgotten Lu Ziyi's appearance.

To be honest, there is no unpleasant feeling about being dismissed.

And anyway, his fiancée was chosen as the heiress of the saint, and she was a proud daughter of heaven who could represent the will of heaven, but she felt a little stained.

Maybe when I go out to mix in the future, I can still give a thumbs up and blow a sentence: Today's saint is my fiancée!

"By the way, can I ask you a question at the end?"

Lu Ze suddenly asked in a serious tone.

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"If you had to choose between a phoenix or a sparrow, which one would you choose?"

Why did Uncle Lu suddenly ask this question?

Although Nan Yan was curious, he still thought about this question seriously.

If you don't consider the deep meaning behind this question, take it literally, the phoenix represents nobility, and the sparrow represents ordinary.

If you really want to choose one of the two, it is naturally better to be Phoenix.

But Nan Yan didn't want to answer with such a mediocre answer.

"I will choose, to have a sparrow that wants to become the heart of a phoenix."

“！”

Hearing Nan Yan's answer, Lu Ze was obviously shocked, and it took a long time to react.

"She actually hit ...... by her"

"She?" Nan Yan seemed to think of a certain figure.

"To tell you the truth, before I came to Qianjia, I went to see the little girl...... Before leaving, she gave me a sachet and asked me to ask you this question, and if you answered only a phoenix or a sparrow, I would take it and return it to her, and if you answered the third answer, I would give it to you. ”

As he spoke, Lu Ze carefully took out a purple sachet from his arms and solemnly handed it to Nan Yan.

"Huh? Am I going to take it? ”

"Hmmm! Must! ”

"Okay."

Nan Yan scratched the back of his head, and then reached out and took the sachet with a fragrance.

"I don't know what's in this sachet, and the little girl won't let me open it." Lu Ze spread his hands, "The sachet is indeed handed over to you, it's not too early, I should also go, I have a chance to meet again, nephew Nanyan." ”

Seeing Lu Ze leave, Nan Yan's gaze returned to the sachet in his hand again.

It's ...... What is it?
