Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Beginning
A thousand years ago, the Han Empire suppressed the world, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, the emperor did not want to forge ahead, and there was no way to make a living, and the people of the world were not able to make a living, and it was normal for them to starve and kill without knowing how many people and eating were common, and the rebel forces in various places were like smoke and dust, and the officials and soldiers were also like bandits. Zhu Yuchen's slogan, the stormy Han Court can withstand such destruction, but in three years, the empire that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years collapsed, and the six great families also gathered their own forces, divided the territory and established the six kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Wei and Zhao, and time passed like water, and the six countries have been established for thousands of years.
Xianyang City, the capital of Qin, Lidu has been a rare prosperous place in the world for thousands of years, but the people of today's capital have not opened a stall market, one by one trembling and hiding at home, the chaotic killing sound last night, and hundreds of heads that fell in the early morning, cast a layer of blood-colored haze on this ancient capital city for a long time, and the Jingjia cold gun guards coming and going on the street make this Xianyang City full of murder.
In the city of Xianyang, in the majestic and severe imperial city, an exquisite but atmospheric attic stands here, and the attic plaque reads "Upper Study" Three gilded characters, the decoration in the attic is quite simple, but it is also full of luxury, into the attic into the first room on the left, but saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe is slamming a celadon vase in his hand to the ground, the man is only about thirty appearance, looks very handsome, and there is a trace of majesty in his gestures, but at this moment the man is like an angry tiger.
"Snap", the vase in the man's hand smashed on the ground and shattered, small fragments splashed everywhere, several palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting were so frightened that they were lying on the ground and shivering, and the palace woman who was kneeling on the ground at this moment raised her robe to cover her face and protect the child who had just been pressed in her arms.
The child is about six or seven years old, where he can stand this kind of scene, after this frightened "wow" crying, the man was already angry, and saw the child crying, his heart was even more troubled, just about to have a seizure, the palace woman suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the death penalty is inevitable, and I hope that Your Majesty will not blame Yue'er for the sake of the concubine's diligence for many years, after all, he is also your emperor!"
The woman in the palace said that His Majesty called out the identity of the man, Qin Wang, the emperor of Qin State, Qin Wang wanted to go to Concubine Hua to spend the night last night, who expected that the line would not be halfway, when passing by Liu Guifei's Spring Breeze Courtyard, she hurriedly caught a glimpse of Liu Guifei sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the moon, looking worried, and there were traces of tears on her face. Weak, people can't help but feel pity at first sight, and the macho Qin Wang also gave up the idea of going to Concubine Hua, and stepped forward to hold the surprised Liu Guifei to turn over the clouds and rain, but who knew that in the middle of the night he was awakened by the sound of swords, looking at the brightly lit imperial city, he couldn't help but feel a trace of haze in his heart.
At this moment, Qin Wang understood everything, and was able to fight his way out of many brothers, how could a person who obtained the position of Ninety-Five be a fool? How could the royal family's dirty deeds not be clear? The only thing he didn't expect was that the queen would be so bold that she dared to move the guards privately, and she really let her be transferred, this was what made Qin Wang the most angry, and the angry Qin Wang also lost the interest in sleeping, and went to the upper study, and in the middle of the night, hundreds of heads rolled to the ground, and the royal struggle was always so bloody.
Looking at the queen kneeling on the ground, looking at the queen's tear-stained and sincere appearance, Qin Wang's heart rose with a trace of disgust for no reason, and "hehe" sneered. waved his hand and said helplessly: "That's it!
"Yes, Your Majesty. At this time, an old eunuch lying on the ground hurriedly got up and waited respectfully behind Qin Wang.
"Queen, Zhong Zhizhi privately mobilized the guards, and according to the law, she was punished according to the law, and then she thought that the queen was eager to save me, and she also had the merit of killing a rebellious concubine, so the queen entered the Qingyou Palace and meditated on her own mistakes. Qin Wang's expression was struggling for a moment, and he said with hatred.
"The concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness, and the concubine must think about it well to repay the emperor's heart. When the queen heard this, her body softened, as if she was relieved, and hurriedly wept thanks.
"Okay, someone will bring it down. Qin Wang waved his hand in disgust and said.
After the queen left, the old eunuch Mingde waved his hand to signal a few little palace maids and little eunuchs to retreat, looked at Qin Wang, who had a gloomy look, and fought for a moment in his eyes, gritted his teeth and leaned up, and asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty." β
"What's the matter?" Qin Wang asked, raising his eyelids.
"The queen acts like this, why don't you γγγ?" Before the old eunuch Mingde finished speaking, Qin Wang said angrily, "Bold! These things should also be asked by you, a minion?"
"Slaves and maids are dead, please forgive the emperorγγγ" The old eunuch Mingde's heart trembled, and he knew what mistake he had made, but this was the old eunuch who had been in the palace for many years, and his reaction was fast enough, and before Qin Wang's words were finished, he had already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Qin Wang stared at the old eunuch Mingde who was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't know what he was thinking, the scene was strangely quiet, the needle could be heard, and after a quiet tea, Qin Wang finally broke the calm and said, "Mingde, how long have you been following me?"
"Back to the emperor, the slave has been following the emperor for thirty and two years. Mingde wiped the sweat stains from his forehead and said carefully.
"Zheng remembers that as soon as Zheng Gang was born, the mother concubine arranged for you to come over, thirty-two years, thirty-two years in the blink of an eye, and I am fortunate to have you with you for these thirty-two years, otherwise Zheng is only afraid that people will be killed early, and this emperor is afraid that it should be done by others." Qin Wang said with a complicated emotion.
Qin Wang, who was listening to the old lady Mingde, sighed, but his heart trembled, he didn't know what Qin Wang meant, but he could only pretend to be bold and continue. "Ah, the emperor, don't torture the old slave, the old slave is graced by the queen mother, and it is his duty to do his best for the emperor. β
After hearing this, Qin Wang suddenly walked behind the old eunuch Mingde, kicked on the old eunuch Mingde's pouting buttocks, and laughed loudly, "You old thing, why are you shaking? Zheng will kill you?"
The old eunuch Mingde, who was kicked once, lay directly on the ground, but Qin Wang's next sentence made the old eunuch Mingde live, his legs didn't tremble, his heart didn't beat anymore, he stayed in the palace for decades, this bit of eyesight is still there, Qin Wang said, it means that this time he has escaped, and the old eunuch Mingde didn't want to turn over and got up, haha" Your Majesty, where are you, the tigers in the mountains and forests are roaring, and the beasts are trembling, not to mention that the emperor is the true dragon emperor, and he casually leaks a trace of dragon might, how can the old slave not be afraid?"
"You old slave can talk now. Qin Wang said, suddenly paused, his color was solemn, and then said, "There are not many old people around Zheng, don't talk nonsense in the future." β
"Thank you for your kindness, the old slave is guilty. The old eunuch Mingde also knew that this was the last beating, and hurriedly confessed.
"Hmm!" Qin Wang responded, walked to the window, looked at the slightly low sky, looked at the crystal clear tree trunk, and muttered, "There is a lot of snow under this snow, no wonder I feel a little cold today." β
The old eunuch Mingde hunched his waist and stood behind Qin Wang, and he didn't say anything, he also looked at the sky in the distance, but he didn't know what he was thinking?
The chaos in Xianyang City came and went quickly, but one day, the city became the same as usual, with endless traffic and rivers.
Outside Xianyang City, the people who come and go have never been cut off, and in this uninterrupted flow of people, an outstanding man in Tsing Yi looks very different.
Obviously the appearance is extraordinary but unkempt, obviously heroic but unkempt, the long sword in his hand is full of grease, if you let the sword lover see it, you will be tempted to snatch it and wash it and restore it.
The man in Tsing Yi entered the city, and went straight to find an inn, if it wasn't for the constant swaying of a piece of gold in his hand, I was afraid that Xiao Er would have run the man out of Tsing Yi a long time ago, the man in Tsing Yi went up to the second floor to find a window seat to sit down, called ten catties of beef, three roast chickens, two jars of good wine, about an hour later, the man in Tsing Yi finished eating beef, gnawing the roast chicken, drank all the good wine, then burped with a strong smell of wine, called Xiao Er, threw down a gold ingot, opened an upper room, entered the room without taking off his clothes and shoes and fell asleep, and after a while, a loud snoring came out.
In the same inn, in another room, three people sat around the table, the older of them was about forty years old, with a white face, and the other two were young men of twenty-five or sixteen.
"Princess, the man has arrived, and is sleeping soundly in the house at the moment, do you want to touch it now?" said the lean young man, gesturing as he spoke.
"Zhang Gongzi is not in a hurry, what does it mean to just kill him? If you don't kill that little evil seed, how can Niangniang feel at ease. Wang Gonggong said quite respectfully, although he is the great eunuch of the queen mother in the palace, but he does not dare to have any slack in the face of these two, after all, he is the person who came out of the mother's master, if he is annoyed and kills himself, he is afraid that the mother will not blame too much, thinking of this, the prince is more and more respectful.
"Senior Brother Zhang, don't worry, Senior Brother asked you and me to come to assist Senior Sister Zhong, don't spoil Senior Sister Zhong's good deeds. Another burly man also spoke. In the eyes of the strong man, he killed the man, but it was like killing a chicken and a dog, and if he didn't destroy the roots, the matter would not be over.
"Senior Brother Bai, don't worry, junior brother is provincial. "Although Senior Brother Zhang is reckless, he is not stupid, how can he do that reckless thing if he says it so clearly, if he really kills that person at this moment, and he can't find a small one, then it's a bad thing.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll go back to the palace, and I'm thinking that the mother should be in a hurry. Seeing that the two had discussed, the prince did not stay any longer, and got up to leave.
When Senior Brother Bai heard this, he sank slightly, and said, "That's fine, the prince went back and told Niangniang that the head of that little beast would be sent to the palace tomorrow." β
After the prince left, the two sat together, and Senior Brother Bai said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I have to trouble you to keep an eye on it later, don't let that person slip away." β
Senior Brother Zhang nodded and agreed, and the two sat together for a while, and Senior Brother Zhang got up and walked out.
Time passed little by little, seeing that it was almost time, the man in Tsing Yi finally had a movement, the man in Tsing Yi turned over and got up, first sat on the bed and listened to the movement, and after a while, he did not hear any movement outside the house, the man in Tsing Yi walked to the window, gently pushed open a door, and jumped out of the window hole. Turned into a black shadow and ran on the rooftop, and a moment later two more dark nights followed behind.
The man in Tsing Yi walked and suddenly fell into a courtyard, and after two black shadows followed, there was no trace of the man in Tsing Yi, just when the two were surprised, a joking voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Two of you, you ran so far with me, I don't know what the so-called thing is?"
The two of them were shocked, and hurriedly used their skills to open a distance, turned their heads to look at the man in Tsing Yi, Senior Brother Bai seemed to feel the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi again, snorted a little angrily, and said, "Li Qingyi, hand over that child, anyway, that woman is ruthless and unintentional to you, why do you want to jump in and give your life for her child?"
Although Senior Brother Bai was angry, he didn't make a rash move, although he was very confident to kill Li Qingyi, but the ultimate goal was not Li Qingyi.
"Hehe!" Li Qingyi smiled coldly, and then said, "You are so confident?"
"Li Qingyi, don't pretend, do you think you are still the same person you were seven years ago? Seven years ago, you did your best to cultivate, have you recovered now? Even if you recover, what will happen? I will be afraid that you will not succeed? Hurry up and hand over that little brute, grandpa will be in a good mood and spare your life when the time comes. Senior Brother Zhang couldn't help but speak.
"Li Qingyi, I finally recovered my cultivation, but don't make mistakes again. Senior Brother Bai also opened his mouth and said, at this moment, Li Qingyi gave him a very bad feeling, but he couldn't say that there was a problem.
He also knew what happened back then, Li Qingyi at that time was not weaker than his own senior brother, they were all geniuses who were not born for a hundred years, but because of an accident, the meridians were even more half-destroyed, and the Lingxi Sect spent a lot of effort for this abolished genius, although the meridians continued in the end, but they were no longer as talented as before, and at this time Li Qingyi's favorite little sister chose to marry Emperor Qin, and in frustration, Li Qingyi left the Lingxi Sect, and never thought of appearing at this time after disappearing for many years.
"Haha, I haven't appeared for many years, it seems that the world doesn't remember me as a genius. Li Qingyi laughed loudly, laughing very cold and hurtful.
"You are looking for death!" Senior Brother Zhang shot angrily, Senior Brother Zhang was very angry, angry that a wasted guy dared to speak out in front of him, and at the same time he was also very excited, excited that the genius who could only look up to him was about to die under his own knife.
The cold light flashed, and the long sword in Li Qingyi's hand was unsheathed, and a beautiful sword flower was slowly returned to the sheath. Senior Brother Zhang, who was already close, saw Li Qingyi so contemptuous, and was even more annoyed, brandishing the long knife in his hand and pointing at Li Qingyi's head, wanting to cut off Li Qingyi's entire head, but the next moment he couldn't move, he couldn't move, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but the next moment he was occupied by fear, Senior Brother Zhang saw a headless corpse rushing out from under his eyelids, and he fell down after running a few steps, and he seemed to be falling?
"Dead?" Senior Brother Bai looked at this strange scene and said involuntarily.
"It's dead!" Li Qingyi said lightly.
"Impossible? Senior Brother Zhang is a half-step dragon! How could you kill him?" Senior Brother Bai roared with fear, scared, Senior Brother Bai was scared! A moment ago, he was still full of confidence, after all, the two of them were both masters of the half-step Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Dragon Transformation could not go without leaving the world, even if it was some low-level Dragon Transformation Realm masters, the two of them could still escape together, but at this moment everything collapsed, Senior Brother Zhang was killed in one move, but he didn't even see the opponent's move clearly, so how many moves can he take?
"It's time for you to hit the road!" Li Qingyi slowly grasped the hilt of the sword and said coldly.
"Noγγγ" Senior Brother Bai shouted, wanting to raise his sword to block the sword. But the sword was not handed over, only the sound of a slow sheath came from behind him.
Bang, crashed, another severed corpse.
