Chapter 1 Baojin
Goryeo Sea Frontier
The north wind is sluggish, and on the sea on a winter night, a bright moon is reflected in the sparkling waves, which is distressing and fragmented, but it is still white and clean.
The old shipowner stroked his long hair dyed with silver frost, instructed his nephew to row hard, and tied the boat to the dock, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The bluestone bricks of the ferry pier were stepped on as smoothly as a mirror, and the sound of more bang came from a distance, and in the night, even the outline of the house could not be seen, only a residual lamp hung high on the mast, but it was even darker.
After a while, the employer appeared.
"Strange thing...... It's actually a Celestial Empire......"
The old shipowner secretly looked at the guest's attire and muttered in a low voice, but his heart was uncertain.
Goryeo has always admired the culture of the Celestial Empire, and sent a lot of envoys to each other, and the wind of trade was also very strong.
"I heard that the Celestial Empire is in turmoil, and there are still people who want to return to Middle-earth?!"
The eldest son beside him whispered in his ear, and his voice was full of incredulity.
When the old shipowner saw that the guest was near, he waved his hand and motioned to his son not to talk much, but his heart was even more suspicious-
These people in front of him, although they are dressed ordinarily, they are introverted and extraordinary, even the two classes of old men in the capital (note), they are not as good.
The black-robed men boarded the boat one after another, and with the support of their hidden figures, a petite figure also floated up.
She wore a black gauze hat, her eyebrows were blurred, but she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and in the heavy snow fur, there was a heavy dye of brocade silk satin, and she did not say a word when she got on board, but when she was about to set sail, she called softly: "Stop." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, she approached the strings of the boat, stretched out her hand and twitched spontaneously, and her long black hair flowed down like a living being, reflecting the splendor of the bright moon.
Her wrists are like snow, and she holds a nine-phoenix golden hairpin in her hand, which is quaint and beautiful, and reflects the mysterious talisman in the moonlight.
"If you are already righteous today, why should you see things laughing......"
The voice was faint, and in the light of the hand, the golden hairpin turned into a streamer and fell into the blue waves.
The old shipowner's eyes widened, and he was well-informed, and his face turned pale in an instant, and he trembled lightly, and staggered under his feet—
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?!"
"This is a thing in the palace......"
The old man muttered almost groaning—
"Look at the pattern of the hairpin, it must belong to the nobles in the palace!"
He was trembling all over, and he was shocked by the word "in the palace" that he said, and his head was full of cold sweat.
The boat slowly opened its sails, moving forward smoothly under the lapping of the waves, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, reflecting the blue water and thousands of miles.
"Your Highness, you have already left the territory of Goryeo."
Shen Hao whispered respectfully.
The woman under the cloak stood silently in the wind, like a clay sculpture of wood.
For a long time, it wasn't until Shen Hao was about to turn around and retire that a female voice came-
"Did my sister send you?!"
With a "dang bang", the porcelain cup in Shen Hao's hand fell to the ground, and in the silent night, it seemed to be terrified by this sound, and the blood in his whole body was almost gushing out.
"The Lord ......"
He pronounced the honorific title softly and bitterly, and his eyes were dripping with hatred.
Don't turn his head slightly, he forcibly held back the gloom in his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "The Lord is worried about His Highness, so he sent me and others to answer." ”
"This time, she really got what she wanted......"
The woman known as "Your Highness" sighed lightly, with a slight amazement and mockery, and laughed in a low voice: "She has always disdained the Li family of Goryeo, but now that she has changed so much, I don't know how she wants to laugh at me!" ”
Shen Hao was stunned, and was about to refute, but when he heard a loud uproar coming from afar, he looked up, and his face suddenly changed sharply-
Under the clear and windless night sky, the huge waves were set off in plain white, and as far as the eye could see, the entire ocean within a radius of several miles was boiling in all directions, and in the blue waves, a huge ship broke the waves!
"It's still chasing after you, it's so ...... to do things!"
Shen Hao stared at the big flag on the giant ship, and his heart was already furious-
"Goryeo is just a small country, taking advantage of the civil strife in my Celestial Empire, he dares to be so rampant - if there is a Celestial Empire sailor here, he will be buried in the belly of the fish!"
The huge ship approached rapidly, and on the top floor stood a short and fat man in gold armor, who proudly watched the other party be violently shaken by the collision, and couldn't help laughing—
"You Middle-earth thieves dare to elope with the princess, and you will be arrested before you are tied!"
Shen Hao laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and smiled: "What is the meaning of reversing black and white, what is referring to the deer as a horse, I will see it today!" ”
He raised his breath and shouted: "Long live the king of Goryeo repeatedly pleaded to marry the emperor, and now you are wrongfully ruined the marriage, and you are still chasing and killing the emperor for thousands of miles, wanting to put the emperor to death - you are used to learning the etiquette of the Central Plains, but how different are you from beasts?!" ”
He glanced at the golden-armored man, and said with a sudden smile: "It turned out to be Lord Jin, no wonder you are so desperate to chase, you have to kill them all so that you can make your sister a princess!" “
Everyone around looked at the short and fat Lord Kim, imagining his sister's dignity in their hearts, and couldn't help laughing.
There was sarcasm in the laughter, but there was also gloom and sadness in it—
If it weren't for the difficulties of the Celestial Empire, would a mere Goryeo Kingdom dare to be so presumptuous and insult the emperor?
"Nonsense! My sister is gentle and humble, but she was personally selected by the princess, but Emperor Jingyuan of the Celestial Dynasty insisted on stuffing the emperor into my king——"
"Shut up!!"
Shen Hao shouted, he was born in the military, and he had an awe-inspiring murderous aura, and Lord Jin was suddenly discouraged-
"Long live I didn't want to marry the emperor far away, if it weren't for the fact that the two were in love, and the king of Goryeo personally knelt down and begged, there would be no reason to agree!"
He disdained to entangle with such villains, and shouted, "What about the King of Goryeo?!" Tell him to come out and explain it himself! ”
"My king has been trained by the princess and the princess, and I am ready to choose a famous lady to ...... wedding"
Lord Jin's eyebrows showed obvious joy, and he laughed and said: "The former princess eloped with someone, her chastity has been defiled, if you refuse to return to apologize, you will have to be exterminated here!" ”
He was obviously very jealous of Shen Hao and the others, and after speaking, he retreated into the boat, and the two boats gradually approached, and countless arrows and stones flew.
"Let them see how powerful my Celestial Dynasty man is!"
There was a secret grief and indignation in Shen Hao's chest, he couldn't send hatred, and when God Ji was humiliated, the resentment in his heart was even deeper, he gritted his teeth and sneered, and vented all his grievances on the Korean people.
Everyone sang a promise, although they did not have many people, they were the elite of the army, and once they attacked, they could almost defeat the crowd.
Shen Hao mentioned his true anger, swept into the air, and when he arrived at the huge ship, he was about to capture Jin, but he heard an exclamation behind him-
"The ——!! of the Emperor"
He turned back in horror, but saw that there were thousands of blue rays of light intertwined on the sea, and in an instant, the huge waves rolled wildly, as if a black wall had risen in place, and a huge black shadow swept the emperor in, and the dense scales were awe-inspiring in the moonlight.
"It's the dragon!!"
The old shipowner, who had been forgotten, said tremblingly, his whole body was like a sifting chaff, and he was almost dead.
Jiaolong is a vicious beast in the sea, how can it appear in vain when it dives in the abyss on weekdays?!
A shrill voice rang in my ears—
"Lord Jin, if it weren't for the princess's personal plea, the old man wouldn't have acted with you reckless men......"
Shen Hao was shocked and angry, and when he turned around, he saw an old woman in black coming out of the cabin with a small flute in her mouth.
It was the flute that drew the dragon out!
"Let go of the Emperor!"
Shen Hao leaned into the sword and drew his sword, and the sword aura was like a long rainbow piercing the sun, fierce and overwhelming.
The old woman smiled strangely and quickly retreated, but it was also strange.
The two dismantled a few moves, Shen Hao had no intention of fighting, and glanced at the emperor, but saw that she was tightly entangled by the dragon and was about to be dragged into the sea.
He dodged and withdrew from the battle group, wanting to come to the rescue, but the evil obstacle was extremely cunning, and between dodging and moving, the emperor's face was gradually soaked in the sea.
"Next!"
Shen Hao was in a hurry, and threw his sword at Emperor Ji.
"Prick it in the jaw!!"
Emperor Ji stretched out her hand to take it, and it was firmly in her hand.
Her veil was soaked in water, faintly revealing a snow-white face, and she took the long sword, but she didn't stab, but just smiled sadly: "Lord Shen, you go back to report to my sister, this place is clear and bright, and there are blue waves, it is really a good place, I am stupid by nature, I am afraid that I will have to meet her forever!" ”
"What Yongjue?! Do you know that the Lord is on her...... Isn't he alive anymore?! ”
Shen Hao roared, and the grief and indignation could no longer be suppressed, shaking the heavens and the earth like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!
"What?!"
Emperor Ji clenched the long sword, her dark eyes narrowed to a point, and she gritted her teeth and said-
"She's dead?!"
She whispered, and the heavens and the earth all came to rest at this moment, and everything in front of her seemed to be reduced to bleakness and shattered.
The dragon seemed to feel this treacherous atmosphere, and it roared, and was about to drag people to the bottomless abyss—
The sword light protruded.
In the midst of the smoke and waves, a white light rose into the sky, and wherever the supreme sword intent went, the water vapor was steaming, and there seemed to be a meteorite bursting under the sky-
With an earth-shattering roar, the blood-stained Jiaolong dragon's head fell into the air, and the blood fell like rain, dyeing the sea red for a while.
The emperor fell in the wind, she lightly lifted the long sword in her hand, and the white clothes were better than the snow, like a celestial descending-
Her veil has fallen off without a trace, and her delicate and snow-white face does not have the beautiful demeanor of her sister, but she has a different charm and is moving.
Everyone was stunned at this moment!
The bright moonlight shone on her, scorching, and the light between heaven and earth seemed to gather on her.
Shen Hao stared blankly, and couldn't help muttering: "Emperor slashes the white snake......"
She slowly opened her eyes, and it turned out to be a pair of strange ink-colored heavy pupils-
"First, this is a Jiao Beast, not a real dragon, so it doesn't belong to the Emperor ......."
"Second, I'm not looking for death for love, but I don't have the strength to kill it at all...... This time, it's just a moment of madness......"
"Third, don't call me Emperor...... My name is Bao Jin, and I faint from blood—"
Before the sound could be heard, she suddenly fell, falling heavily on the boat.
The sea was quiet, and under the clear breeze and moon, only a group of stunned people and broken ships remained.
