Chapter 1: Departure

Next Chapter

In the distance, the sky and the earth seem to be connected, and the setting sun is slowly falling to the ground. The sun's side, gradually gathering many clouds, showing their beauty in various colors, is it a sign of the darkness of the coming night? After a while, a few ominous rays of golden light wrapped around the sun's body, pulling the sun down the mountain little by little. The afterglow of the sun reflected the sky red, and the clouds lost their colorful light, and seemed to be preoccupied, silently surrounding the place where the sun disappeared, refusing to disperse for a long time.

At this time, a baby's cry pierced the courtyard that should have been silent, and the people in the house immediately tensed up, the newborn baby boy was later named Qin Yu, the word Ziqiu, is the son of the current dynasty Shangshu Shoot (yรจ), Zheng Guogong, Sikong Qin Ke. To say that this Qin Yu's father this Qin Ke is amazing, he is the first celebrity in front of His Majesty in the Nanyang Dynasty today, and his power is monstrous, it is said that he led three thousand snow horsemen to kill the 300,000 troops of the Northern Liang Dynasty to rescue the current saint who was surrounded by the Northern Liang army, so he is so favored, but now this Qin Ke has also passed the age of knowing the wrong (50 years old), His Majesty seems to have been wary of this Qin Ke, and the court has also supported several adults to fight for power with Qin Ke. The entire Qin family was enveloped in an atmosphere of joy, this was the first male of the Qin family's generation, and the baby's sister had been born two years ago. But if nothing else, he will inevitably take over his father's huge power in the Nanyang Dynasty when he grows up.

The boy grew up slowly in this life of fine clothes and food. Qin Yu always likes to go to the roof of his house in the evening when the sun sets, which he says makes him feel calm.

The leaves were swayed by the wind, the sun was broken, the cicadas were hidden, like a distant lake, there was a blooming cloud, slowly sliding over the top of the mountain, drifting over the clouds with the wind, this day, he still climbed to the roof, looking at the mountains to the west, but for some reason, the sense of foreboding in his heart became more and more intense.

Qin Yu's robe collar and cuffs are inlaid with silver silk edge cloud pattern piping, a cyan auspicious cloud wide-edged brocade belt is tied around his waist, and his jet-black hair is tied up and he wears a small silver crown with jade inlaid on the top, and the white jade crystal on the silver crown is moist, which sets off his hair with a faint luster like black jade. He sat on the roof of his house and looked at the clouds in the distance, which changed color from time to time, from gray-red to purple-red, then to vermilion, and finally to blood-red. The blood-red color grew darker and darker, narrowing and collecting light. The red sunset danced like a fire about to be extinguished, and slowly, there was only a line of dark purple left in the gray sky, which was probably the sun had set to the end of the mountain, and the scenery near and far merged into a vast twilight. When a gust of wind blows, it is the colorful falling flowers, and the petals scattered all over the sky fall on the path of the marble floor. In the sky, in the air, and under the feet, there are bursts of floral fragrance everywhere. People can't help but think of Qin Guan's poem: "The smoke and water are vast, and the sun is twilight for thousands of miles." Mountains are innumerable. Red as rain. โ€

"Young master, it's time to eat!" An old voice shouted from under the wall. "Got it!" Qin Yu replied loudly, randomly turned over and climbed down a few bricks raised from the wall, "Uncle Wang, what are you eating today?" The young man looked at the old man he had just called him, the old man's name was Wang Longquan, who grew up with him, and was also the housekeeper of the family, only to see that he was dressed plainly but decently, and his face was full of vicissitudes but revealed wisdom. He looked at the boy and replied, "This ...... The old servant didn't know for the time being, and asked the young master to follow the old servant to the dining room for dinner. So Qin Yu followed the old man to the dining room.

"Mother, sister." Qin Yu saluted to the two people sitting at the table in the hall, "Where's Father?" He asked.

"Your father was summoned into the palace by His Majesty and said let's eat first." The older woman replied, "Come and sit." โ€

"Yes." Qin Yucai pulled out a chair and sat down, and a steaming hot pot was brought to the table, the bronze body of the pot, the soup in the pot was tumbling, and the aroma was overflowing, making people can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Qin Yu took two mouthfuls of food and asked, "Sister, are you going to Longling Mountain in two days?" โ€

Qin Yu looked up at his sister Qin Jing, and saw that she was dressed in a lilac gown, with long hair and a shawl, a snow-white belt tied behind her head, her dark eyes were tactful, and her face was like a bright moon. โ€

"Well, when I come back from practice." Qin Jing said.

Qin Yu nodded and put a slice of meat into his mouth.

After a while, Qin Jing then asked, "But you are a young man, why don't you go and practice martial arts?" โ€

"Sister, didn't I say it, I'm not interested in martial arts." Qin Yu sighed helplessly and said.

"But ......" Qin Jing just opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by his mother.

"Okay, you two don't be stubborn, eat quickly, and remember to go to the kitchen and serve him some food when your dad comes back later." Lin Su looked at the two children and said softly.

"Yes, Mother."

Half an hour later......

"The master is home." Wang Longquan said to Lin Su, "The master said that he wanted to see the young master, let me take someone over immediately." Lin Su nodded, and Qin Yu got up and followed Wang Longquan out of the door.

"Crunch" pushed open the door, and saw Qin Ke, who was as tall as a pine and as strong as the sun.

"Dad," Qin Yu saluted, "You have something to do with me?" โ€

Qin Kejian's eyebrows were as bright as cold stars, he looked at Qin Yu, and a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his eyes, maybe it was cunning, maybe regret, or unwilling. He continued: "Gonggong Zhao said that His Majesty seems to want to marry the eldest princess to you, what do you think? โ€

"What? That old woman in her thirties? I don't want to marry her. Qin Yu shook his head again and again, and shouted in some surprise.

"Although I think so too, I still have to treat the eldest princess with some respect," Qin Ke suddenly smiled when he said this, "According to Gonggong Zhao, His Majesty will send the holy decree to our family, or ...... You and your sister will immediately set off to Longling Mountain to hide for a while? Qin Ke pretended to be a little contemplative and asked.

"That's the end of it......" Qin Yu replied

"Go say goodbye to your mother, and leave immediately." Qin Ke turned around and said, but what Qin Yu didn't hear was that there was a hint of pathos in his father Qin Ke's tone.

Qin Jing picked up the amethyst sword given to her by her father, put a few changes of clothes on her back, and got into the carriage with her younger brother Qin Yu, and the carriage gradually drifted away, but what the sisters and brothers didn't know was that all this was arranged by their father Qin Ke, and now the only seventy snow riders left were also driving in front of the carriage, and the sisters and brothers were chatting with each other, completely unaware of the impending danger.

An hour ago......

Qin Ke was summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and he didn't notice anything wrong, but when he left the palace, he gave Zhao Gonggong, who led him, a few taels of silver, as usual, but got his political enemies to report to His Majesty that he collaborated with the enemy and treason, deceived the king, and secretly communicated with the Northern Liang State, revealing the information of the Nanyang Dynasty. Gonggong Zhao handed Qin Ke a token and asked him to go to the inn outside the east gate to show this sign, where there were two dead soldiers of the same age as Qin Jing and Qin Yu that he had trained, and he could leave a pair of children for Qin Ke. But Gonggong Zhao asked Qin Ke to hand over the Qin family's secret book "Yin Immortal Art" to him, Qin Ke thought about it, and in order to leave a queen for his Qin family, he agreed.

This "Yin Immortal Technique" is a treasure, Qin Ke was able to defeat a hundred on the battlefield back then, if you want to say that three points are experience, then the remaining seven points are the powerful self-healing power and power brought by the internal strength learned from this "Yin Immortal Technique", although Qin Ke originally wanted to pass on this "Yin Immortal Technique" to Qin Yu, but this set of martial arts requires a lot of life experience to be able to control himself from going astray and going mad, so Qin Ke has never done that, but if something like this happened today, he could only use it in exchange for the lives of the children, Qin Ke thought, while telling him that after tonight, go to the southeast corner tower of the palace to get the cheats.

That night, Qin Ke dismissed his subordinates, called out his henchmen, handed over the "Yin Immortal Technique" to him, and asked him to send it to the southeast corner tower of the palace, and then brought the two dead soldiers in the inn outside the east gate to the gate of the Qin Mansion, and then found a way out.

Subsequently, Qin Ke once again put on the armor of the battlefield that year, sat on the main hall, and calmly waited for the officials who came to raid the house.

But what Qin Ke never expected was that after the henchman went out, he was twisted off his neck by a person with a grimace mask, and after searching for the "Yin Immortal Technique", he brought the two dead soldiers to the gate of the Qin Mansion. Immediately put his hand on the corpse of the henchman, only to see the wisps of black gas rising, and the henchman soon only had a skeleton left, and when the grimace turned around, there was a gust of wind, and the skeleton was blown away by the wind like turning into ashes, of course, Zhao Gonggong did not get the "Yin Immortal Technique" cheats he wanted.

At noon the next day, the Qin family was beheaded at the head of the city, accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and bullying the king, and displayed to the public for three days.
