Before my story happened, there was an extremely famous story of black eating black in Shanghai.

On December 1, 1933, the Japanese army had occupied the northeast, and Japan's intentions were far from so. Yuo Yamada led a team of ronins wearing kimonos and carrying Japanese swords to infiltrate Shanghai in a low-key manner to pursue a number of priceless treasures lost by the Qing Dynasty.

The 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Halloween Day, 10 midnight. The night of the sword glittering is destined to be an ominous night.

In a Chinese-style courtyard on Wutong Road in the French Concession, the mahogany gate is slowly opening, the lights are like stars, the giant trees are towering, and the strange flowers and plants are passing by. Yuo Yamada walked in it, like a dream, as if walking in the forest, and like walking in a fairy tale. After passing through a garden and then onto a long ramp, a three-storey Victorian building looms in front of a fountain. Magnificent. It was standing squarely, resplendent in gold, magnificent, and beautiful, and when Yuo Yamada saw it, his heart soared. He had never seen a beautiful private house in China, it was so lonely in the middle of Shanghai, so gorgeous in the ordinary land.

However, in this luxurious forest garden, the masked ronin has infiltrated the courtyard and blocked all the doorways tightly, making it difficult for anyone in the courtyard to fly.

The caretaker and the masked ronin launched a fight with cold weapons, which is 'the night when the wind is high and the moon is black, and it is the day of murder and arson'.

In the midst of the killing.

Ai Xin Jueluo. Na Mingzhu Gege, a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, was sitting quietly in her room listening to the sound of killing downstairs. The screams of despair, the dull sound of the knife slashing at the man's body. She knows all this too well, this is the sound of people killing, it is the eternity of constant desire and continuous reincarnation, of course she knows that this last move is sooner or later, she is a woman of the Qing Dynasty, and she will not be able to die in the end, so she is extremely calm about the catastrophe that will come sooner or later.

At this time, she had just torn her heart and lungs, and gave birth to a new life with all her strength, and some people said that the first cry of the child is the most beautiful music in the world, and the suffering of this child began with the first cry.

In the midst of the killing.

Nalan Mingzhu struggled to sit in front of the bronze mirror. In the quiet and warm candlelight, she hadn't sat in front of a mirror like this for a long time. She was so beautiful, stunningly beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and was once loved and chased by those handsome princes. But in an instant, the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and the best youth and love of her life collapsed and became fragile. She wants to use her life to martyr the kindness of the Qing Dynasty, but she can't choose life, she wants to use all her life to protect a shocking secret!

In the midst of the killing.

This is the last time, Nalan Mingzhu combed her hair, she refused to want to help her palace maid, she said this time, let me come by myself, she has to see her off by herself. She carefully combed her hair, combed the most noble hairstyle of the Qing Empire for herself, wore a crown, and the top was crowned with rubies, three layers of gold, decorated with ten eastern pearls, seven eastern pearls for each peacock, hairpins with emerald hairpins, phoenix hairpins, golden flat squares, gem head flowers, pearl headbands and drooping tassels, with peony flowers and phoenix flowers' Danfeng Chaoyang is graceful and luxurious. She knew in the mirror that she was an unusual woman, although she was a phoenix in distress at this time, she wanted to become eternal with the most 'fluttering and graceful like a dragon'.

At this time, from the downstairs hall, there were already the sound of knives and shouts of killing, and there was bloody wind and rain everywhere, and there were fights and struggles everywhere. Already the kind of real embattled. Nalan Mingzhu laughed deeply at her life at this point, that is, she really fell into a situation of loving her enemies and being isolated, and that was the real future.

The Nalan Pearl in the bronze mirror is still noble. She had just become a mother, pale and tired, but she was still beautiful, she knew that. She needs this beauty, and she wants it to be connected to death, and for death, beauty is undoubtedly important.

In the midst of the killing.

Nalan Mingzhu began to change her clothes, and when she chose to wear a python robe and a sea dragon edge, the text of which was a dragon pattern five-claw costume, the sound of a dense fight approaching the stairs came. They were swooping down on her like a wind. She knew that their masked ronin was not just trying to catch her, but also her secrets. However, Nalan Mingzhu is still patiently choosing her dress, this time she has to be careful, just life is great*, death is also great and solemn, of course she has to face an incomparably beautiful and graceful self. This time, Nalan Mingzhu chose a Qing palace dress for herself, like a virgin.

She turned over the bronze mirror, and she no longer looked at the mirror of the world in this life.

In the midst of the killing.

The rooms were lit with red candles, and the palace maids around them stood quietly with red candles in their hands. They were waiting for the murderous-faced ronins who were approaching step by step.

Nalan Mingzhu walked to the front of the children's room, and the cleaned little Gege was wrapped in a layer of soft golden satin, like a fleshy silkworm chrysalis, and the pink little Gege had stopped crying and looked at this strange world with wide eyes. Sleeping head-to-head with another child, with four big bows open on his pillow, unaware of the impending storm.

Five minutes ago, the grandmothers humbly opened the curtain and helped Nalan Mingzhu into the room, Nalan Mingzhu Gege looked at the young and immature face of the grandfather son, the atmosphere was solemn and tense, just a black cat walked by the window, Nalan Mingzhu Gege glimpsed, raised his hand to smash the tea bowl over, and the black cat "meow" scurried away.

Nalan Mingzhu said coldly: "Go and see if anyone is eavesdropping." Now it is no longer the Qing Dynasty, and now you have to be careful with your every move. ”

The grandmothers all understood the master's thoughts, and understood that they should bow and retreat at this time, and they didn't dare to say a word, so they withdrew silently.

Nalan Mingzhu stared at the only son of the state master with sharp eyes and asked, "If you are going to be separated from Xiao Gege's sister today, how to choose your home and country?" ”

The grandfather's son said stubbornly: "There is no country and there is no home, and there is no heaven and earth." No matter where Sister Gege goes, I will find her and not let her get hurt. ”

Nalan Mingzhu carefully tasted this sentence and smiled: "It's a good priority, polite and courteous, affectionate and righteous, this palace bets that you will take good care of Xiao Gege's sister." ”

The master vaguely felt that the catastrophe was coming, and slowly knelt down, and fought to the end: "Ask Gege not to send Xiao Gege's sister away, I will protect her well, and ask Gege to be fulfilled." ”

Nalan Mingzhu stared at him deadly, slapped it on the table, shook the tea set, and the grandmothers outside the room all lay on the ground, "Gege is angry, Gege spares his life." ”

The man still didn't move, and Gege finally smiled: "Your family is full of loyalty, you will also be a good man in the future, and you will be a good man in 18 years!" Remember your words today. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will change, stay true to your original intention and wait for the opportunity. Remember, prosperity is easy to build but not easy to keep! ”

The grandfather was put into the arm and fed sleeping pills by the influx of grandmothers, and he was struggling desperately, shouting: "Don't let little Gege sister go." ”

The effect of the medicine was very fast, and then he fed Xiao Gege, and now they can't fall asleep no matter how they shake it.

The four female grandmothers cried and begged Mingzhu Gege to leave quickly, and Nalan Mingzhu Gege was as imposing as a cloud: "Life is also." Qiu Ju, you lead the grandfather's son to find the Hongmen King Yaxian quickly, he has received some favors from me, I think he can take this child in. ”

Nalan Mingzhu's gaze swayed on her wrist, with a string of jade beads wrapped around the red golden lotus bracelet on her wrist, and said leisurely: "This pair of bracelets was once a treasure from the Holy Ancestor Lafayette, and it is an extremely rare tribute, which is really rare." A string of turquoise jadeite is of general size, transparent and warm, not to mention, it is even more rare that there is no variegation. The red gold wraps the filament leaves around the beads, implying that the body is protected by gold. One is given to the master, and the other is given to Xiao Gege when he grows up. ”

She placed a pair of bracelets on the boy's body, and attached a piece of letterhead with a delicate fly-headed letter:

The son of that master, the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty.

Nalan Mingzhu Gege picked up her infant daughter, her daughter was born to her and the attached horse, in order to restore the Qing Dynasty, she was the core person who transferred a huge amount of gold and antiques, she came to Shanghai with four maids alone, and lived in the grandfather's house. Who knew that after the rumors, the gangs in the rivers and lakes, Britain, France, Japan and the Nationalist Government all sharpened their knives and wanted to monopolize the wealth of this rich and rival country!

Nalan Mingzhu looked at Xiao Gege in his arms, and ruthlessly handed over to one of them, Mama Qingying, "Go quickly, go as far as possible, leave Shanghai, and don't come back." They dare to spend so much money to kill me, just for this batch of treasures, this is the treasure of my Great China, Hugh has to be robbed by outsiders, and he must be repaid with blood! ”

Qingying's mother kowtowed deeply, held the little girl, and jumped out of the window.

In this way, the boy was 6 years old, and Xiao Gege was just born, and disappeared without a trace before the masked ronin arrived.

The killing seems to have stopped.

Yuo Yamada stepped up the stairs into the spacious, soaring central hall, and the luxury was even more impressive. The interior furniture, windows, and partition doors are decorated with rosewood carvings, which is magnificent and elegant; The room is illuminated by the enormous chandeliers, which are inverted pagoda-like branches, and the golden light hangs from the ceiling on the third floor, illuminating the room, and each prism of the chandelier is inlaid with different jewels, each ray of light emits a different color, and the light shines with a beautiful flame.

The floors are all lavish 100-year-old mahogany, and chunks of heavy scarlet Persian handmade blankets wind up the spiral staircase; On either side of the hall are giant gilded sofas, where Narangeg sits every day and gives orders.

At midnight, all the lights in the hall are turned on, and it is as golden as a palace, which is breathtaking.

"Then he was planted in your hands, right? You ronins have been reckless in my northeast, this is not the Forbidden City, the sky in Shanghai is still clear! Are there any rules here? Which play is this? Do you want to force the palace? Do you want to murder the Qing royal family? ”
