Chapter 7 The first entry into the Shuiqing Palace
My mood was extremely low.
I searched the entire Imperial Palace, but I didn't find a single survivor.
Xingge and Headwind are gone, and Grandpa is not in his brother's dormitory.
It wasn't until the evening that I was leaning against the ruins of the city walls, tired and sleepy, and the wind blew outside the city again, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Just when I was in a daze, two figures suddenly appeared not far away, and when I looked closely, one of them was slender, he was wearing a white feather coat, holding a cyan long sword, and a hairpin made of cold moon stone was inserted in his inky hair, he was the king of the Thousand Shadows Clan.
Standing opposite him was a woman with long red hair, and on her left hand side hung a daisy guqin, and a gust of wind blew in my face, and I could clearly smell the fragrance of imperial flowers emanating from the woman.
"I want this child, you have already taken one of them away, leave this one to me!" The woman said.
"That kid named Xingge doesn't seem to have any talent, maybe I can find something out of this kid?" Burke said lightly: "You must know that I spent so much effort to fight the emperor in order to get rid of that hidden threat. ”
They had apparently discovered my presence.
The woman chuckled, "I just saw it, he's just a child born with an incomplete heart and could die at any moment, he won't be the person you want." ”
Burke also showed a sneer, "Then why do you want to fight me for such a person, my target today is not your Thousand Feather Clan, you better not interfere." ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, I realized that Xingge had fallen into the hands of Burke, and the woman in front of me was none other than Qingxiao, the queen of the Thousand Feather Clan. In one day, I touched all the kings of the three races.
In the face of Burke's provocation, Qingxiao showed the slightest intention of giving in, "I like this child, except that he is weaker, he is quite handsome, if he can survive, it is not bad to stay and be a waiter for me." ”
"Will your Thousand Feather Clan still lack a waiter?" Burke laughed.
"That's nature, I like children, as long as it's pleasing to my eyes, I'll take it back, you've been busy all day, and you've just finished fighting with Lan Zi, are you sure you still have extra spiritual power to rob me of people?"
Boke stared at Qingxiao for a while, indeed, he had only fought with his grandfather, and he had fought in the imperial concubine all night, facing this queen of the Thousand Feather Clan who was full of spiritual power and energy, he didn't want to make trouble for himself, "Hmph... I'll sell Queen Qingxiao's face today, you take this child away, I don't need a waste person in the Thousand Shadows Clan. With that, he turned and unfolded the portal and left.
Qingxiao shook her hair, then turned around and walked towards me, I subconsciously closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, although I really wanted to save Xingge, but I knew that I was not their opponent at this moment, if I died here, I could only let them take away the cultivation that my grandfather gave me for nothing.
Qingxiao twisted me up and stared at me for a while, and then said to herself: "You are fortunate to have met me today, if you are taken to the Thousand Shadows by Burke, with your weak body, I am afraid that it will not take an hour to be tortured to death." ”
I didn't open my eyes to her, Qingxiao's personal guard quickly arrived, he carried me on his back, and followed the queen into the portal to the Thousand Feather Clan.
When I opened my eyes, I was already in the royal city of the Thousand Feather Clan, Shuiqing Palace, and there was only one kind of flower here, which was the imperial flower.
Qingxiao's personal guards led me to a hidden attic in the royal city, the attic has three floors, and the people who come in and out are some ordinary guards and boys, and not far from the attic is Qingxiao's dormitory. Just as he was looking around, a boy came over with a set of blue-gray clothes, "Hello, my name is Xiaoying, I am a second-class waiter here, this is your clothes, hurry up and change them!" ”
I glanced at the boy's clothes, which were shabby and rough.
I didn't pick it up right away, "What is this place?" I asked.
"This is the Zuiqing Pavilion, the 300 guards and maids and 100 maids of the Queen's dormitory live here, from today on, your name is Angel, this is the name the Queen just gave you, she hopes you can forget the past and stay here in peace."
"Angel?" I was surprised.
"Yes, Angel, you just came, you can't be regarded as a formal waiter, and after you pass a period of study, you can officially become a member of us, and I will lead you to meet the first-class guard Yuxi in a while, and all the waiters here are under his control."
Me: "Oh! I didn't ask any more questions.
At dinner that day, I saw Yuxi in Xiaoying's mouth, he was sturdy, wearing a tooth-white robe, and a short sword pinned to his waist, the other party looked at me for a long time, and then laughed to himself: "Where did the queen find such a thin child?" I really doubt that you will be able to pass the assessment of the third-class waiter. ”
I hurriedly got up and came to Yuxi and saluted slightly: "My name is Angel, and I am an orphan brought back by the queen from the imperial concubine. ”
"Emperor? The country that had just been wiped out by the Thousand Shadows? ”
"Yes!"
"I heard that this Thousand Shadows Clan raid, no one in the entire Imperial Palace survived, it is not easy for you to survive, stay here, tomorrow I will send you to the Moon Palace to study, and when you meet the requirements of the third-class waiter, I will pick you up again, tonight you will live in the same room with Xiaoying, after dinner, let him lead you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, in the Drunken Qing Pavilion, there is one thing you must remember, that is, at any time, don't make trouble for me."
"Yes! Your Excellency Yuki, I will be obedient. I answered.
After dinner, I followed Xiaoying back to the room, and he told me that he had been in Shuiqing Palace for three years, and that he didn't remember his original name, nor did he remember what had happened before he came to Shuiqing Palace, and when I asked the other boys in the house, they didn't remember it either. I suddenly realized that all the children who were sent to the Moon Death Palace had their memories erased.
Coming out of the drunken Qing Pavilion, Xiaoying took me to the outside of Qingxiao's dormitory, Qingxiao's dormitory is called the Yexin Palace, where the imperial flowers bloom all year round, in the apse of the Yexin Palace, I accidentally saw a snow cherry tree, and there is a path leading to the opposite palace next to the tree, "Whose dormitory is it?" I asked Xiaoying casually.
"That dormitory belongs to Princess Mengxi, she is the only sister of the queen, and there are few people except the queen who usually go in."
"Why?"
"Princess Mengxi's personality is very strange, if something doesn't go well, the people around her will suffer, I heard people in the Moon Death Palace say that the person with the highest cultivation of the Thousand Feather Clan is actually not the queen, but Princess Mengxi, even the King of the Thousand Shadows Clan is not her opponent, many years ago, the King of the Thousand Shadows Clan invaded the Thousand Feather Clan, but was defeated by Princess Mengxi."
I was shocked, even the person who could defeat Burke, Xiu Wei must be above him, it's just that he has been with Holma for so long, he has never mentioned to me that there is such a princess in the Thousand Feather Clan.
"In that case, why isn't the king of the Thousand Feather Clan this Princess Mengxi?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know about this, I only know that Princess Mengxi rarely shows up, I've been here for three years, and I've never seen her head-on."
No wonder for so many years, the Thousand Spirit Clan has always been the only target of the Thousand Shadow Clan, and the Thousand Feather Clan has such a high-level princess here, and Boke naturally does not dare to attack it easily.
"Angel, let's go quickly, Princess Mengxi doesn't like strangers to talk about her, if she lets her see us, no one can afford the consequences, I'll take you to another place to see." Xiaoying said as she pulled me outside.
I couldn't help but look back at the snow cherry trees behind me, they were the same color as the ones in my dormitory.
