Chapter 1: The Prisoner

Next Chapter

In the dry desert, there was a frenzied wind and sand everywhere, a small group of camels slowly moved forward, and the people on the camels looked back from time to time to see, it was a girl with bound hands and shackles on her feet, about thirteen or fourteen years old, her lips had cracked, and the ragged clothes that barely covered her body were stained with yellow sand, and she staggered step by step under the control of the camels, she could not fall, and if she fell, she would be dragged by the camels, and her blood would sooner or later be sucked dry by this desert.

The man on the camel let out a sneer, and said in a charity tone: "Princess Huayang, if you ask me, how about I be merciful and reward you with saliva?"

Someone immediately said: "Lord Zhou, she has been deprived of her title, and now she is even more lowly than those untouchables, how can such a pariahs be worthy of the title of son." Then they all burst into laughter.

Lord Zhou is the princess who escorted the murder of her father and mother, the queen of Nanqi is famous, there is only this one princess under her knees, the eldest princess is of very high status, she was given the title Huayang at the beginning of her birth, and was raised by Empress Deshun to be smart and generous, and won the favor of the emperor of Nanqi, who expected that a major event that shocked the whole country happened, Empress Deshun's father colluded with the Northern Zhou Dynasty to rebel, Princess Huayang killed her mother and killed her father, fortunately the emperor was rescued by the concubine, but the queen became the soul of Princess Nanyang.

The facts are well covered, she watched her mother die under the dagger of Fu Guifei, her father once praised Fu Guifei as a hibiscus out of the water, not dyed or demonic, and gave the word "Fu", but now it seems to be an out-and-out cannibal flower, Nanyang is not a stupid person, but she has been protected too well since she was a child, growing up in the sun, and the dark queen mother of the harem has isolated her very well, so there is no defense.

Huayang still lowered her head and was silent, she was the princess of Nanqi, and the pride of being a royal family made her automatically ignore these sarcastic voices, not to mention that she needed to maintain her physical strength at this time, and she no longer had the extra strength to refute, and if she refuted, all she got was the more presumptuous humiliation of that group of people.

Just half a month ago, Concubine Fu took her to see more than 130 people from her grandfather's family die under the executioner's knife, her lips were blocked and she could only make a broken sound, the blood of that day stained the execution ground, her eyes widened and she was blood-red, but she did not shed a single tear, so it seems that who doesn't know that this is the handiwork of her father, thinking of this, she was anxious in her heart, gushing out a mouthful of fishy sweetness, but suddenly woke up, she couldn't fall into a daze, at this time he only had one thing to do, that is, to survive.

Seeing that the ridicule still did not get any response, several people scolded, mixed with the jingling bells of camels and the sound of wind and sand, and gradually the sound of wind and sand covered the man's voice, the camel suddenly stopped, knelt down on both knees, and lay down on the spot, the man's scolding stopped abruptly, and was replaced by an exclamation: "It's a sandstorm, get behind the camel." ”

More than ten people on the hump quickly came down, held the luggage in their arms, and lay on the back of the camel, so as not to be buried by the wind and sand, at this time no one paid attention to the little girl, Huayang had lost his strength, and fought the last bit of strength, climbed to the back of the camel, at this time the hurricane has blown up thousands of feet of yellow sand, and there is no obstacle on the unobstructed flat land, the raging wind swept past, and in an instant this group of people was also covered by the yellow sand, the storm lasted for nearly an hour, and the wind and sand in the air are still showing the aftermath of the storm.

"Damn ......" a low curse came, a pile of sand and dust broke and protruded, and a head was drilled out, trying to get up from the yellow sand, the camel also moved, slowly stood up, and a team of people and horses crawling also got up one after another, patting the yellow sand on their bodies, that week the adult was surrounded by a layer of low air pressure, if it wasn't for the concubine Niangniang's promise to add an official to the knighthood after the matter was done, why did he bother to come to this desert for a trip. This Huayang princess will be sent to the emperor to refine the longevity pill, but the group of old men want to study in this desert desert, it is said that the elixir refined with the body of the daughter can make the parents immortal, and the refining method of the elixir is very tragic, to throw the little daughter who is still a virgin into the furnace to refine it and then integrate it into the elixir.

Lord Zhou shuddered, it was not that she sympathized with this Huayang princess, if it wasn't for him, he was also other unfavored princesses, it was really too creepy this method, although this alchemist had already existed, many years have passed, and the real elixir has still not been researched, and now as the princess of the first experiment, I am afraid that there is another reason. This Princess Huayang occupied the position of the eldest princess as soon as she was born, and she pressed Princess Derong, the daughter of the concubine, to be jealous, and let her die in such a tragic way, with no bones left, in order to be the status of Princess Derong.

I saw that Lord Zhou walked to the back of the camel, took out Huayang, who couldn't afford to struggle, and threw her on the sand, the feeling of insulting the princess of a country made his anger temporarily calm, and he saw that Huayang was not dead, and sneered: "It's time to go on the road."

Huayang lowered her eyebrows and still didn't say a word, the form was not optimistic for her, she had to swallow her anger at this time, she wanted to run away at night, but the desert was too big to escape is also a dead end, it is better to wait.

finally got up from the ground, and was trampled on the ground by another man, which made the group laugh. They were sent to the desert in this bad weather to escort Huayang, and all the grievances of not having a beautiful wife and concubine and fine clothes and food were sprinkled on Huayang, and humiliating Huayang was the only pleasure on the way. If it weren't for the fact that the superiors explained that they wanted to make a virgin alchemy, a few people looked at them with ill intentions, but they really wanted to taste the princess of this country.

Finally laughed enough, Lord Zhou ordered to leave: "Don't kill people, it's not easy to explain from above, hand over people as soon as possible, and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"No." The group was the only one who looked at Lord Zhou and replied in unison. Anyway, I have humiliated Huayang, and it is the right way to send her on the road earlier. Turned over and climbed onto the camel, and dragged Huayang on the road with a clanging clang.

Hua Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, this rope has been tied to her for a few days, she will definitely let them untie her with their own hands, just riding the wind and sand from the little minion's burden to find a little food, but only touched two flints, she doesn't care if it will be useful, hold it tightly in her hand, because the hands tied together will not be noticed.

The water they gave her promised that she would not die of thirst, and as for the food, it had been a rancid meal since ten days ago, and Huayang knew that she had to maintain her strength, and whenever they gave her a dry cake wrapped in mud and sand, she would gnaw it clean.

The desert sun was very scorching, and just when Huayang thought he was going to fall, night fell, and suddenly someone called out in surprise, "Look, my lord, what's ahead?" ”

Lord Zhou's stiff face also showed a hint of a smile: "Luck, it's an oasis, you can have a good rest tonight."

Huayang still didn't have any expression when he heard this, this group of people can indeed rest forever.
