The mountain country of the Western Regions, the household is four hundred and fifty, and the mouth is five thousand.

The mountain country is a small country in the Western Regions, and thousands of warriors in the country defend the country with iron spears.

The royal family of the mountain country is surnamed Huyan, and the era rules this small country. The national strength is weak, and it is difficult to survive in the Western Regions. The mountain country needs to send a large amount of materials to the Wuyi country every year to beg for the stability of the country.

After a long time passed in this way, the mountain country encountered a disaster, and this year there was not a drop of water coming out of the arid land, and there were very few wells in the whole mountain country that could produce water.

The people of the mountain country need to travel a long way to the Mochizuki River in the Western Regions Corridor to find water to drink.

Hu Yanhu was twenty years old and the prince of the mountain country. He led his guards and went to fetch water. They left early in the morning and did not return until it was nearly dusk.

But when I returned, I saw a completely different scene.

The gates of the mountain country were breached, and the corpses of dead soldiers were everywhere. Hu Yanhu's eyes immediately turned red, he pulled out his sword, and rushed into the city with twenty-one guards.

The city is like a Shura hell, full of sorrow.

When he returned to the palace, he saw a group of soldiers attacking the palace. Enraged, Hu Yanhu led the guards to rush forward and kill the soldiers back.

In the palace, the old king was already dying, and he was stabbed with an arrow in his body. The arrow had been removed, but the tip of the arrow had been quenched. At this moment, this poison has penetrated deep into his internal organs and infected his heart.

Huyanhu stood in front of his father, at a loss.

"The Wuyi Kingdom wanted to attack us very early, but they always wanted to minimize their losses. Now that the whole country is short of water, and the soldiers are in a state of thirst every day, and their combat effectiveness is low, this is their opportunity. ”

"You people, don't be delusional about revenge. The people of the Uyi Kingdom will cut off my head and hang it on the city gates, so that the crows will eat my flesh and blood as a way to declare the occupation of the mountain country. I don't want you to be with me next to my head. You're young and there's still a long way to go. ”

"If you want to live, go east. Seven thousand one hundred and seventy miles, you will find a great and magnificent city. The people of the Central Plains call it the Divine Capital, and it is a place that is truly far away from the war. May the gods of the desert bless you, my child. ”

Before his father died, his thoughts were unusually clear, and after saying this, he passed away.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Wuyi Kingdom also arrived.

Wuyi wanted to kill it quickly, but Huyanhu had to take the palace guards and fight and retreat, and finally came to the desert.

The desert of the Western Regions, as far as the eye can see, is known as the Sea of Death. Whoever enters here dies for life.

Huyanhu was left alone, and his court guards were loyal, guarding him until the last moment, and finally died outside the desert.

When the iron cavalry of the Wuyi Kingdom saw Huyanhu enter the desert, they did not continue to pursue. When a person enters the desert, he is killing himself.

Huyanhu has experienced a lot along the way, and if you want to survive in the desert, your willpower will be very strong.

In one day, Huyanhu lost everything. His home, his status, everything was in smoke. He endured the sorrow in his heart, and did not weep. Because crying consumes a lot of physical strength, hunger and thirst, so that the emotions in his heart are only left to live.

Go east and you can live!

He walked for ten days, eating the rotting flesh of dead crows in the desert, and drinking the murkiest water hidden in the gutter. Tortured by such will, he actually walked out of the desert.

Many people go into the desert and never get out of it. He was undoubtedly lucky enough to make it to the edge of the desert, a place called Usha Town.

The town of Wusha was controlled by a group of horse thieves, and the exhausted Huyanhu was caught and locked in a cage.

There were many people like him in the cage, all of whom were powerless and were caught by horse thieves. People like them can be sold for a good price as slaves in the sparsely populated Western Regions.

Hu Yanhu suffered a severe whipping on the first day, which was to get rid of his arrogance. The horse thief is very measured, enough to make a person taste pain, but not to endanger his life.

Hu Yanhu was scarred by the beating, but his eyes were still bright.

He waited for three days, and during these three days he observed the entire town of Usha very thoroughly. In the next three days, someone approached the leader of the horse thieves who had beaten the town of Usha and came to buy some slaves.

The slave needed to have a mark on his body, and those men dragged Huyanhu, who had just undergone a whipping and was dying.

The horse thieves roasted a piece of iron red on the fire and held it with tongs, on which was the mark of a slave. Anyone who is burned with a soldering iron will be considered a slave in the Western Regions.

The moment the soldering iron touched Hu Yanhu's body, Hu Yanhu moved, and he violently pushed the two horse thieves who were holding him down into the fire pit. The two horse thieves instantly fell into the flames, their faces turned to charcoal.

Hu Yanhu snatched a knife and slashed the arm of the horse thief with the soldering iron in his hand. Pick up the soldering iron from the ground and reach it into the thief's mouth.

"I am Huyanhu, and my father is the king of the mountain country. Anyone who dares to harm me will be cursed by the god of the desert. ”

Huyanhu shouted as he rushed into the pile of horse thieves. Maybe his appearance was too hideous, and the horse thief didn't react for a while. Unfortunately, the leader of the horse thieves happened to patrol here and was stabbed to death by the mad Huyanhu.

Huyanhu became the new leader of the horse thieves.

He had all the slaves free, and these slaves had nowhere to go, and Huyanhu told them to go and hide in the various city-states in the Western Regions first. When he returned, the slaves would be the children of the mountain kingdom.

"I will travel to the most powerful countries in the East, bring back precious treasures and riches in their cities, and we will build the most prosperous city-state in the entire desert!"

Huyanhu took away more than 20 horse thieves and traveled all the way from the Western Regions to the Divine Capital.

Although these horse thieves were notorious in the Western Regions, by the time of the Great Zhou, they had become law-abiding people. Because they were often engaged in the slave trade, they were able to get guidance easily.

They made it to the Shendu without incident, but everything in the Shendu City made them desperate.

There is no need for valiant warriors here, what they need are shrewd merchants and beautiful orchids from the Western Regions. People like them can only go to Nanshi to work as laborers.

The cruelty of reality gradually destroys people's will.

Hu Yanhu was very smart, he didn't shout like other horse thieves. He was fascinated by the prosperity of the Divine Capital, but he also noticed the corpses that were quietly transported out of Nanshi every day.

The people of the Western Regions who can survive in the Divine Capital are all extremely shrewd people. The Great Zhou Dynasty needed a scene of all nations coming to the dynasty, so compared to the previous dynasty, the people of the Western Regions had more opportunities to live in the divine capital.

But in the same way, God is ruthless.

The countless laws only protected the people of the Great Zhou. There is a customary rule in God, people in the Western Regions cannot leave the Western City without authorization, otherwise there will be no forgiveness.

Huyanhu had no choice but to carry the goods with the group of horse thieves every day, repeating the handling again and again.

Hu Yanhu met his sister of the same clan in Xishi, who was the daughter of Hu Yanhu's uncle, named Hu Yanli.

Hu Yanli was sent to the Shendu very early, even if it was a royal family, but because it was a small country, it was also bumpy in the Shendu. Hu Yanli's money was spent, and she finally became a dancing girl in a city.

Both of them are considered to be the lowest characters in the Shendu, and no one pays attention to them whether they live or die.

Later, the event that changed the fate of the two happened.

A drunk man molested Hu Yanli and was slapped to death by Hu Yanhu. That person is Qiu Guanlang, and more importantly, his daughter is the concubine of King Liang.

The killing of officials by people in the Western Regions, whether it is right or wrong, is a capital crime.

King Liang was in charge of the soldiers and horses, and he sent a lot of people to encircle and suppress the two. The horse thieves who followed Huyanhu were all found by King Liang. In front of the prince of the Great Zhou, these brave and warlike horse thieves had no room to fight back.

That night, groups of Jinwuwei surrounded the entire southern city, and they rushed into the shop where the horse thieves were, killing them one by one in their sleep.

Hu Yanhu and Hu Yanli had already left the Shendu, they ran all the way on the road, and the worst thing was that they had no road guides, no official documents signed by the Shendu Mansion, and it was almost impossible to move an inch in the Great Zhou.

The two came to an inn, and at this moment it was raining heavily, and the innkeeper needed to check the official documents of the two people, and they were not allowed to enter, so the two could only hide under the shed outside and endure the cold.

They soon heard footsteps, and a cold light appeared in Hu Yanhu's eyes, and he heard that those people were carrying weapons.

The men soon surrounded the inn.

Hu Yanhu pulled out his scimitar, and someone was searching the haystack where he and Hu Yanli were hiding.

He silently grabbed the man's arm, dragged him into the haystack, and then ended his life.

At this moment, someone spotted Huyanhu and rushed up with a shout. Huyanhu also roared angrily, fighting alone with a group of people.

That night, he killed 17 Luoyang County Catchers and Luoyang County Lieutenants.

At this time, the door opened, and a middle-aged man invited Hu Yanhu in. Hu Yanhu was very vigilant, and the middle-aged man led him to a box, and he saw an old man.

"People from the Western Regions, what's your name?" The old man laughed.

Hu Yanhu didn't know how to answer, he was silent, and Hu Yanli was still hiding in the haystack.

A smile appeared on the old man's face: "You don't have to be nervous, I can see that you are a very strong warrior." I'm surrounded by a group of people with bad intentions, and maybe I need someone strong enough to help me. ”

The old man pointed to the dead bodies outside the window and said with a smile: "Those people are here to kill me." Since you killed them all, you can save my life. I want to repay you no matter what. Say, what do you want? ”

This was a turning point in the fate of Huyanhu.

The old man is the previous city lord of Fengdu Ghost City, "Night Owl" Lin Sanhan.

Lin Sanhan accepted Hu Yanhu as his righteous son, and took him and Hu Yanli to the ghost city of Fengdu.

That night, Lin Sanhan took people out to trade with other gangs, but he didn't expect to encounter black and black, and Lin Sanhan's people suffered heavy casualties. Those people seemed to have contacted the government, so they ambushed in this inn and waited for Lin Sanhan to come over.

Huyanhu saved his life without knowing it.

"There are sins in this city that you can't think of, and from today onwards, I will let you see them all."

On the first day that Lin Sanhan took Huyanhu to Fengdu, he told him.
