In the seventeenth year of Qi Guoxuanle and the fourteenth year of Fengguo Mingche, ten years of calm and stability have been experienced on the Demon Spirit Continent. During this period, due to the clamping of the feudal war on the subordinates of the feudal monarch Guangwujun, there has always been a hidden danger of civil strife in the feudal country. Although the monarch Guangwujun is still pretending to be crazy, due to the large number of troops and clans loyal to him, the Fengzhan Society has never had a good chance to move.
And during this period of time when there were hidden dangers in the feudal country, the Qi country was actually not very peaceful, and Xuan Lejun, the monarch of the Qi country, often hallucinated in a trance because he missed his beloved Yun Guifei many times. often has no intention of taking care of the government, and in the end, Xuan Lejun simply left the political affairs and handed these things to the prime minister to deal with.
For this reason, some ministers who want to see the young and promising in the past and lead the Qi State to create glory again have repeatedly admonished Xuan Lejun, wanting him to abandon the female sex and peace of mind in government affairs. However, these ministers played many times, and even the ministers who wanted to meet Xuan Lejun directly were never received by Xuan Lejun, and the eunuchs who were later appointed by Xuan Lejun have not allowed these ministers to enter Xuan Lejun's Changxin Palace. After coming and going like this, Xuan Lejun didn't know the news of the large-scale floods in the south of the current Qi Kingdom, he just blindly indulged in fireworks and alcoholic beauty, he didn't want to recall the past, and he didn't want to face this cruel reality.
In the strong face and evasion, Xuan Lejun took the initiative to bow his head, so he chose to escape, such a erosive life of less than five years, the thirty-four-year-old monarch has already felt that his original majestic body has been hollowed out by wine, often feel dazzled, and even can't lift his spirits for a long time, and more and more rely on the refreshing elixir provided by the eunuchs. But Xuan Lejun forgot a very common thing, occasionally taking this refreshing and aphrodisiac elixir will certainly have a miraculous effect, but once you overdose and become addicted, it will become harmful. But now Xuan Lejun can't take care of so much, he just wants to anesthetize himself wholeheartedly, so that he is no longer immersed in the pain of losing Yun Guifei and missing.
Over the years, as the so-called several families are happy and a few are sad, there are some very fatal problems in the country that have not been solved. It is precisely because there are more or less problems in the feudal kingdom of Qi, so that since the seventh year of Xuanle when the Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom rebelled in the territory of Qi State, it has been ten years now. The entire Demon Spirit Continent has not had any war because of the fragile contract "Xuanling River Agreement" signed back then, and even small military conflicts are rarely heard of. The common people and soldiers of the Qi and Feng countries seized the rare few years of calm to develop their internal affairs and agricultural life. Most of the soldiers were temporarily disarmed and returned to the fields, and went home to accompany their families, wives and children.
In the past ten years, it should be a rare period of peace on the Demon Spirit Continent, and during this period, it was indeed peaceful, and even the actions of sealing the war meeting were much less than before. The four seas are peaceful, and the people are happy. People live very happily and well-being.
Now it is the beginning of spring, and the snow that has shrouded many places on the Demon Spirit Continent has not completely melted, and the southern part of Qi suddenly ushered in one violent rainstorm after another, coupled with the water flow formed by the melting of ice and snow. Suddenly, a huge flood struck the south, inundating farmland and leaving many people homeless. Many people had no choice but to drag their families to the north.
Xuan Lejun, the monarch of the Qi State, didn't know about this matter in the first place, even though the ministers wanted to play this matter, they were always blocked by several sinister eunuchs. As a result, several cities in the south of Qi Kingdom, including Ruocheng, Huicheng and Jincheng, all suffered this flood. This is especially true of the low-lying castle. For this reason, as a last resort, Chen Jie, the defender of Ruocheng, ordered the soldiers to protect the people and go to Jincheng to take refuge for a while.
General Chen Jie's order was given by the people, and the people immediately packed up and set off for the north. In addition, a group of people who live in what looks like a poplar forest outside the city is actually a bamboo forest. They didn't feel the flooding at all, even though it was raining heavily here as well. However, the people in this bamboo forest are still living here, and it seems that they have not been affected by the flood at all. Not only is the bamboo forest located on a higher terrain than Ruocheng, but also because the bamboo forest itself has a strong drainage capacity, and the people living in this bamboo forest have already taken measures to drain the water before the rain comes.
So much so that the heavy rain days in the south of the Yangtze River have now, even if the people in Ruocheng have basically evacuated to Jincheng, the people who originally lived in this bamboo forest are still living here peacefully. However, due to the evacuation of the people and soldiers of Wakajo, the people of this bamboo forest should not live here for a long time.
Near noon, the sky finally cleared after the rain, reflecting a faint colorful light in the sky. In the faint glow, there was a girl wearing straw sandals stepping on the large and small puddles on the ground, this girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and eyebrows, and her eyes were beautiful. It is the most beautiful time in everyone's life. The girl's figure and appearance are absolutely stunning, the girl is wearing a light blue dress, her hair is short and flush around her shoulders, and her face looks very delicate and ruddy, obviously a healthy color.
And the most eye-catching thing about this girl is that the girl's eyes reveal a clear and insightful gaze, the eyes are very bright, the girl walks on tiptoe on the muddy road, with a large bamboo basket on her shoulder, the girl walks in the depths of the bamboo forest, I don't know what to look for there.
"Sister Yue, you go slower, I can't keep up with you, even my brother, I can't see it," the girl was busy looking for something under the bamboo growing on the side of the road, and from behind her came the voice of a still immature, but very nice girl.
"Shanshan, hurry up, or Sister Yue will leave by herself, we can't lose" Just as the girl who was squatting on the ground turned her head to look, she heard another faintly masculine voice, and behind the girl appeared a little boy in a white coarse cloth shirt, who looked to be only about ten years old, with a white strip of cloth around his head, and the word "effort" written on it in black ink. Although the boy seemed to be having some difficulty in his steps, he still insisted on walking to the girl's side.
The girl in front of her couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help laughing, and the girl's cute appearance made the little boy who was only about ten years old next to him swallow his saliva, and secretly praised: "Sister Yue, you are so beautiful! I don't dare to look at you more."
The girl in front of him still looked unfazed, he gently dusted off the trace of indifferent dust that had swayed on the hem of his skirt, walked to the little boy's side, and whispered: "Yu Chong, when did you become so flamboyant? It seems that I have to tell Shi Niang" The girl's lips flashed with a comfortable and somewhat playful smile.
"Don't" Hearing that he was going to tell his mother, the little boy's face immediately changed, and he grabbed the sleeve of the girl next to him with his attachment, and said coquettishly: "I was wrong, sister, please don't tell my mother, okay?"
The little boy's usual serious appearance made the girl feel a little funny, she gently patted the head of the little boy named "Yu Chong", and said with a smile: "Let's wait a minute."
"Good!" the little boy was also refreshed, and the two of them stood side by side in the depths of the bamboo forest. Soon after, a little girl in straw sandals and a blue gown appeared in front of them, this little girl looked only about ten years old, and the little boy was not only about the same age, but even her appearance was seven points like that.
Seeing that the little girl with a long robe came to the side, although she was a little panting, the girl who took them was already very satisfied. She stepped forward and hugged the two siblings, a man and a woman, and said with a smile: "Now, we have completed Master's task, we can go back!"
"Yes!" both the little boy and the little girl had a strong look of joy on their faces. They hugged the girl standing in the middle from both sides, and the three of them set out on the journey home singing a light-hearted and cheerful song.
This slightly older girl is Gao Hanyue, the apprentice of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who has grown into a down-and-out big girl after ten years. And the two brothers and sisters who followed her, a man and a woman, are naturally a pair of children of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, Feng Shanshan and Feng Yuchong.
