Chapter 69: The Great Zhou Imperial Family
Directly north of Youzhou in Liangguo, in the vast sea of sand, there is a group of travelers, who are slowly moving forward under the scorching sun overhead.
There were ten of them, and they entered the desert from the far north, the very edge of the Southlands, and then headed south, and if anyone could look down on their entire route from above, they would find that it was a straight line, and they would never get around it unless there was a natural danger or an oasis inhabited by a large number of Rakshasas.
The ten men rode the most common camels in the desert, which endured hunger and thirst, and was far better at carrying people on long journeys in the desert than any other animal.
They were all dressed in gray robes to shield them from the sun, and from the outside they looked ordinary, not much different from the travelers and merchants who traveled to and from the desert on weekdays.
This sea of sand inhabited by the Rakshasa clan for generations is actually very large, much larger than the Wei and Jin countries combined, one side of the southern edge is next to Youzhou of the Liang Kingdom, and the other side is the border of the Southland.
They came from the south, and they certainly didn't live in that vast forest that was even comparable to the sand sea, and the answer was already coming out, yes, they came from the absolute center of the Western Continent, the atrium.
The group had traveled through bustling cities, uninhabited countryside, forests infested with fierce beasts, and grasslands full of barbarians, fighting the stars and moving day and night, and now, they had finally set foot on their destination, that is, the boundary of the Southland.
The ten people were not walking side by side, nor were they crowded together in a chaotic manner, but lined up in a long snake formation, and the one in the middle of the line, when she reached the bottom of the dune, took advantage of the gap between the dazzling sunlight and the sand dunes, suddenly lifted the hat on her head, and raised her head slightly, revealing a face below that seemed to be a mixture of morning glow and rain and night clouds, which could be said to be perfect and infinite.
The eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the eyes are like stars.
From the point of view of appearance, she should be a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, comparable to Duanmu Nanli of the same age, although the two are similar in age, but in terms of temperament, it can be said that there is a world of difference, Duanmu Nanli is a kind of delicate and cute, playful who has been pampered since childhood, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, fresh and refined, not stained with dust, but she is completely different, she just takes a superficial look, and knows that she must be a top tycoon, or simply a royal nobleman, that kind of graceful and luxurious bearing, even if she is in the desert, wearing a gray robe, she still can't hide it, and her gestures are full of luxury, which is not at all what ordinary people can have。
In addition to her own appearance, which can be called the fragrance of the country, she exudes a unique temperament like the bright moon in her arms from the inside out, which is simply a finishing touch.
is also a lady, a descendant of a wealthy lord, or a royal nobleman, although every move, can also have that kind of similar bearing, but it will not make people fall in love at first sight, but coupled with this atmosphere that does not lose to men, it is like a red sun jumping out of the sea of clouds, sublimating its whole person, really who can compare with it, that is, Fuyin, who is known as the first beauty in the sea world.
This peerless beauty looked at the rising sand dunes in the distance with deep eyes, her face in the sun was a little sad, but her whole body still exuded an aura of tenacity.
The delicate figure fluctuated slightly as the camel moved forward, she squinted her eyes and said in a somewhat emotional tone: "Grandpa has also walked this road." ”
Located in the middle of the ten, judging from this position alone, I also know that she must be the leader of this team, or the most important person in the team.
As soon as she said this, someone raised her head and whispered to her, "Princess, this place is not good, please put your hat on." ”
After he said this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he just silently lowered his head and tightened the gray robe on his body.
Who would have thought that with their identity, in such a poor and remote country, they would still need to take care of these things, and even specially remind the princess that she 。。。。。。
They all have a kind of sadness in their hearts, but these words are always unspeakable.
When the girl heard this, she didn't argue anything, but silently put her hat on her sleeve carefully, and said with a smile on her face: "I'm just a little emotional, my father once told me that my grandfather was the same as us at that time, so he only took a few people to leave from the capital, and then went all the way south, according to the letter sent back by the grandfather, when I got here, and then south, I should be to the grandfather's new home." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in front of her immediately turned his face and said calmly: "Princess, the latest news was also more than seventy years ago. ”
The words are not exhausted, but the meaning to be expressed is already obvious, the other party is just telling her not to expect too much.
If a person is told not to have too much expectation for the future, this is a very cruel thing, or rather, there is nothing more cruel in the world.
The girl shook her head gently, and said with a firm expression: "Father said that the eldest grandfather is a genius of the heavens, with the posture of a male master, if it were not for the situation in the atrium that year was too erosive, born a hundred years earlier, he would definitely be the master of Zhongxing in my Great Zhou, he was forced to leave the capital out of desperation, all the way south, this is an expedient measure to preserve the fire of my Great Zhou royal family, but I believe that with the ability of the grandfather, plus the people he took away, he must have established a foundation in the south." ”
The former co-lord of the human race, the only master of the Western Continent, the Great Zhou Dynasty, has gone downhill for hundreds of years, and today, the territory that is really in their own hands is no more than a state, and the rest have been divided up by the princes of all parties one after another.
The so-called Great Zhou Dynasty has long existed in name only, if it weren't for the restraint of the princes, or maybe it was because the land of a state was too chicken, in short, they had not braved the world's condemnation to destroy the center of the Great Zhou capital in advance, but even so, everyone also understood that the demise of the Great Zhou was only a matter of time.
Therefore, even if the Taizu of the Liang Kingdom back then was also an unborn genius of the Great Zhou royal family in the atrium, he could not revive the Great Zhou on his own, after all, whether it was a combination of vertical and horizontal, at least, you have to make sure that you have the power of a country, just holding the land of a state, in the eyes of all the princes, it is an ant, they want to crush you, only one finger is enough.
That kind of Great Zhou can only become his grave, and it is precisely because he deeply understands the truth that the Great Zhou Emperor at that time had no choice but to let him leave the atrium and go all the way south, just to keep a fire for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Someone else in the back couldn't help but talk: "Princess, even so, but the entire territory of the southern land combined, it is comparable to a prince in our atrium, and at most it can only be compared to the middle three, if it is in terms of combat effectiveness, it can be compared to the upper and lower three, not to mention, we have traveled all the way, and we have not encountered a decent city until now, obviously they have not unified the southern land, how can they talk about rushing to the aid of the Great Zhou?"
When the girl heard this, her face suddenly sank, she turned her head, and said with some anger: "How can you say that, even if you can't rush to the atrium, we are also the same clan and the same clan!"
Instead, she turned her head sideways again, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Actually, my father and emperor have seen this matter very early, the Great Zhou Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years, and today, the national fortune has come to an end, and it should be someone else's turn to sit in that position, if our Ji clan can continue in the south, it will be very good, there is no need to be too demanding of others." ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they were all concerned, and many of them couldn't help but sob.
A group of ten people, except for her, the youngest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the others, they were all loyal ministers of the Great Zhou, otherwise they would not have taken the initiative to take on the task of escorting thousands of miles south, and now when I heard the princess say this, even if they were all iron-beaten men, they couldn't help but cry silently.
If the family and country are broken and unable to save it, how can they not weep?
How sad it is that even the king has given up!
Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, they dare to cross it with this body, but there is only one hurdle in their hearts that they will never be able to overcome.
The girl was also very sentimental after hearing the faint cry in the team, but as the backbone of the whole team, she still barely held on, and joked in a joking tone: "Just cry now, and when we meet later, don't cry, don't lose the face of our Great Zhou Dynasty." ”
These people are just the descendants of the old loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the final analysis, they are still scholars, but as the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sadness and desolation in her heart do not know where to go more than them.
The sobs in the team suddenly stopped abruptly with her words, and everyone bit their lips desperately, trying not to make a sound.
Thousands of miles away from home and country, maybe for the rest of their lives, they will have to stay in this foreign land with the princess, how can they not be sad?
Fallen leaves also have to return to their roots, but what about them?
Even in a few years, who will remember them who once went south?
Just when the mood of the team was extremely low, the man who walked in the front suddenly pulled out the double hammer on his waist and shouted in a deep voice: "Attention, someone is coming!"
As soon as he drank so softly, the others all came back to their senses from their grief, and quickly lifted their spirits, and without too much command, the others had naturally drawn their weapons, and then guarded the girl in the middle.
The girl herself did not panic in the slightest, but calmly drew the bow and arrow that had been placed at her feet.
Along the way south, I don't know how many dangers I encountered on the way, and even half of the people have been reduced, but she has been unscathed so far, and it is not only the ability of the guards.
With the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, more than forty sand sea horse bandits riding horses and wearing gray robes suddenly appeared on the sand dunes around the team.
"Hey, hey, it's been a long time since I've opened the meat, it's really cold, and God will send the quilt. ”
"Why are these ten people here, why are there so few things on them, it seems that the oil and water are not enough. ”
"Fuck, even if there are only ten camels, it's enough to eat for a few days, and even if it is dragged and sold, it will be worth a lot of silver, and then we will be able to live happily for a few more days. ”
"Sure enough, if you want to make money, you still have to do it yourself, and others don't know when to go. ”
"That's not it, hey, brother, look at it, is that a woman in the middle?"
"Where, let me see, hey, really, fuck, how long has it been since you touched a woman?"
"Lao Tzu counts, damn it, there are more days than the hair in Lao Tzu's crotch. ”
"Fuck, don't waste your time, it's not good to be cut off by someone else. ”
"Kill!"
The forty men did not delay too much, and after the formation was straightened out, they surrounded them from all sides, from top to bottom, along the sand dunes, and rushed directly to kill.
The girl pulled her bow and arrows, her expression was extremely calm, her hands were also very stable, her fingers were loosened, the bowstring trembled slightly, and a feather arrow was already whistling and flying out.
