Wang Lifan

The Wang family, once one of the four major families of the Northern Dynasties.

It was also one of the few prosperous clans in the Northern Dynasty under the governance of the "Blood Emperor" (after Emperor Shuo succeeded to the throne of the Northern Dynasty, he was called the 'Blood Emperor' because of his ruthless and iron-blooded reform methods).

And I, as the son-in-law of the Wang family, have never made my own decisions......

----------

In my childhood memories, my father was very strict with me.

He never allowed me to associate with people whom I thought were interesting, because those people were not conducive to the prosperity of the royal family.

After the age of six, my main habitat shifted from the study to the school grounds.

The old-fashioned teacher with a ruler in his hand has also become a martial artist with a full face.

My father told me that the Wang family was a general of the Northern Dynasty for generations......

And so should I.

Time flies, and while training on the school grounds, I gradually like the spear.

The spear is one of the longest melee weapons and has an attack range that is unmatched by swords.

Watching the spear fly, it seems to have broken free from all restraints, however, even if the spear attacks farther, it will be pulled back and restricted by the body of the spear, isn't this just like me as the son of the Wang family?

After nearly ten years of hard training, my marksmanship has reached a point of perfection, and even the first spearman in the school's martial arts field cannot compete with me, and at this time, I am only sixteen years old.

When the chief of the martial arts division informed my father of my marksmanship attainments, my father did not show any joy, because he thought that this was a natural achievement for the sons of the Wang family.

After rewarding the martial artist, my father took me to a side room, and he told me that I was going to marry the daughter of the Meng family as his wife.

A woman I've never met......

I was tempted to refuse my father, but I didn't say it.

Because I know that my father is not asking for my opinion, but only informing me of this......

-------------

The marriage of the two families of Wang and Meng, this grand wedding of the scholar clan shocked the royal capital, and even the king at that time personally issued an edict to congratulate him......

As one of the protagonists of the wedding, I didn't feel the slightest joy.

Most of the people here have only one side relationship with me, but they are all prominent people of the Northern Dynasty today.

My father received me one by one, and it seems that the only people who don't know this place are me and the bride whom I haven't met.

-------------

Because of my father's work, I was able to hide in a quiet place, and it was there that I met the people who changed my life.

The moonlight is quiet, reflecting the slender figure of the man under the bamboo pavilion.

I tried to get close to the mysterious man, but it seemed as if his footsteps had alarmed him, or as if he had already sensed my approach.

The man turned around, and I could see clearly that there were a few red dragon patterns embroidered on his black clothes, and his young and handsome face was cold, especially those eyes, which were fierce and compelling, and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts......

My father once told me that it was a kind of imperial eye.

"The newlywed Yan'er, as the groom's sister-in-law of the Wang family, is hiding in such a secluded place, which is not etiquette. ”

This was the first thing the man said to me, very cold, not very emotional, but it gave me a feeling of déjà vu, like an old friend.

"On a cold moon and a clear night, as a member of the royal family, I came to the bamboo pavilion in the backyard of my house, which is not etiquette. ”

I came to the man's side, intending to salute.

The man reached out to stop me and motioned for me to sit down.

We stayed in this bamboo pavilion for a long time, but we didn't talk much.

The man once asked me if I wanted to change the fate of the Wang family.

I smiled bitterly and said, I can't even make decisions about my own wedding, so how can I change the Wang family.

He did not answer, was silent for a while, and said—

"When your power exceeds the shackles that bind you, you can change!"

With that, he walked out of the bamboo pavilion......

"If you figure it out, you can come to me at Wanjia Restaurant in the north of the royal capital......

-----------

When your power exceeds the shackles that bind you, you can change.

Is that so?

I later learned that he was the second prince of the royal family at that time - Di Shuo, and he was also the later "Blood Emperor".

At that time, the political struggle for the throne among the royal family had reached a white-hot stage, and although Emperor Shuo was strong in his own right, he had the least support from the scholars, and the situation was not favorable to him.

After some deliberation, I made the first decision to be judged entirely by myself, and to make Emperor Shuo king.

I wasn't completely sure that Emperor Shuo would be the winner, but I knew that only then would I gain enough power to break free from the shackles of this royal family.

------------

How brutal is the battle for the throne......

Not only the royal family, but also the scholars and courtiers were also involved and could not extricate themselves.

The Wang family is not monolithic, but with the help of Emperor Shuo, with my status as a sister-in-law and this amazing marksmanship, I not only eliminated other factions, but also succeeded in inheriting the position of head of the family from my father.

Then, we will win over the nobles and courtiers who support us, and weaken the power of the other princes.

In this battle for the throne, Emperor Shuo showed his foresight again and again, which made me understand that my original decision was not wrong.

-------------

Later, Emperor Shuo successfully ascended to the throne.

I was also named one of the generals of the Four Great Pillar States, and became a figure under one person and above ten thousand people in the Northern Dynasty.

Subsequently, Emperor Shuo began to promote talented people and vigorously purge the incompetent warriors, including, of course, those who were once our enemies.

The title of "Blood Emperor" is really suitable for Emperor Shuo.

----------------

I thought that having broken free from the shackles of my family and gained this enviable power and wealth, I should have nothing more to ask for.

But I found out I was wrong......

--------------

It was the first time I met Qin Yao in the first martial arts event held by Wang Shang, regardless of origin, gender, or age......

To be honest, as one of the generals of the Four Great Pillar Kingdoms and the head of the Wang family, I have seen all kinds of women......

But she is really special.

If at first I was attracted by her heroic and beautiful appearance, then I was shocked by her superb martial arts.

Two short blades and a giant sword switched flexibly in her hands, and even I didn't dare to say that I could retreat under her fierce attack.

At the end of the martial arts, she became the first female martial champion of the Northern Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the only one so far.

-----------------

I found that my life seemed to have something other than power.

When I half-jokingly told the Confucian about my good feelings for Qin Yao, he pointed at the king and smiled and persuaded me to give up this fateful idea.

I looked at the king, although the king's face was still cold, but his eyes were always on Qin Yao.

Ordinary people may not be able to see anything, but we who have worked with the king for many years can see at a glance - the king likes her.

--------------

After the martial arts, I skillfully avoided everyone, boarded my own carriage, and returned to the palace alone in despair.

The king likes her, and the king likes her......

With such thoughts in my mind, I came to the bamboo pavilion where I met the king for the first time.

When your power exceeds the shackles that bind you, you can change.

That's right, that's it.

The king likes her, so what?

As long as my power surpasses that of the king, I can take her back from the king, from the emperor.

......

------------------

Since then......

Internally, I continue to strengthen my prestige in the army and in the court;

Externally, I secretly contacted Li Zhong, the general of the Southern Dynasty, befriended Tuoba Hong, the first prince of Xianbei, and used the royal caravan to trade with Zhurong in the Western Regions, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

My power is growing day by day, Emperor Shuo, what are you fighting with me!

-------------

Until one day, the second prince of Xianbei, Tuoba Jue, suddenly visited the royal capital of the Northern Dynasty to discuss the alliance between the Northern Dynasty and Xianbei.

This doesn't matter, Xianbei's alliance with the Northern Dynasty does not have much impact on my plans, after all, this kind of alliance that looks like a god abounds on the Central Plains Continent.

I once visited Tuoba Jue privately, but what I didn't expect was that he revealed to me that he wanted to marry Qin Yao as the Que clan (the wife of the Xianbei royal family is called the Que clan).

How is it possible, I suppressed the anger in my heart, thinking of this Xianbei second prince Tuoba Jue, who was not tall and warlike at all, with a fat head and big ears, but more like a domestic animal raised in a farmer's house, and even wanted to possess Qin Yao.

However, Di Shuo agreed.

Tuoba Jue said that Emperor Shuo would lie that Qin Yao died violently, and there would be no such person in the Northern Dynasty from now on, and at the same time, the prince's envoy would have an extra peerless beauty......

Hahahahaha......

What is the emotion of the emperor compared to the state.

yes, Dishuo.

Did you abandon Qin Yao so easily for the sake of the grand plan hegemony in your mouth?

I clenched my spear and tried to hold back my murderous intent.

----------------

Back in the mansion, I recalled Qin Yao's voice and appearance.

Is this how I end?

After all the effort, nothing came of it.

A gust of wind blows, it's cold, damn rain......

No, it's not over yet.

Di Shuo's statement is not entirely correct, the way to break free from the shackles, in addition to gaining, is also to give up, give up all these rights and wealth.

I want to leave with Qin Yao, leave the royal capital, and leave the Northern Dynasty.

----------------

I flew to Qin Yao's mansion, and the doorman told me that Qin Yao was sick in bed and it was not suitable to see guests.

I was stunned.

The soldiers sent to inquire about Tuoba's whereabouts told me that the prince had left the north gate and returned to Xianbei at this hour.

I staggered as if I was about to fall to the ground.

With the support of the soldiers, I knew what I had to do.

I left everything behind, and with 20,000 light horsemen directly subordinate to me, I pursued the prince's envoy in the starry night.

Xianbei horse is fast, only in this way can it be possible to catch up.

----------------

When I led the army out of the royal capital, watching the grass and trees in the wilderness pass backwards at a rapid pace, I realized that it was meaningless to chase power for so many years.

Emperor Shuo, I will give you back everything you have given me.

And now, I'm going after what you'll never get.

Qin Yao, wait for me......
