Ezhou is full of fragrant flowers in April, and Luoyang peony begins to bloom.

Luoyang, the new capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty only three years after its establishment, but the land of the three states of Luoshui is more prosperous than the old city of Jindu for 300 years.

Slipping out of the Shenjiang Mansion, I walked to the street alone, facing the strange and huge Luoyang City, I was at a loss for a while.

Although it is almost from the point of losing his soul and being cornered, he is not so much that he can't think about it, and he finds a secluded place to hang on the southeast branch.

He is useless as a scholar, with half an empty stomach of ink, and he is so hungry that he is only poor and sour.

I couldn't help but be gloomy, shook my head and smiled bitterly: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" ”

Dragging my hungry and already weak body, I staggered all the way from Luoyang Front Street to Luohe Liulin, and I really couldn't lift any spirit.

If you really can't find something to eat, it is not that you have not tasted the bitterness of gnawing tree bark on the long journey, and it is better to survive than to starve to death.

This is the sorrow of the reader, begging can not let go of face, and can not bear the pain of labor, I can't help but laugh at myself when I walk to the riverside willow forest: "The most useless reader..... If you don't succeed in returning to Ezhou, won't you be ridiculed!"

As I walked towards the banks of the Shadowy River, which were becoming more and more sparsely populated, I noticed that the two men who had been following me were getting closer and closer to me.

I don't have to think about it to guess that it must be a descendant of the Divine General's Mansion.

I have only been in Luoyang City for a day, and I have neither enemies nor confessions, so it is impossible for me to be targeted by gangsters who kill people and oversell goods.

What's more, I have no wealth to reveal at all, and I am so poor that I only have a breath of high spirit, so how can I be worried about money and treasures.

As the people behind me followed more and more blatantly, I slipped faster under my feet.

Nine-headed bird in the sky, Ezhou Yanke underground.

As a child of Ezhou, surrounded by three rivers, I have been familiar with water since I was a child, so in order to prevent being secretly attacked by people who follow me, I have been walking close to the river bank and dare not look back.

As I ran, my footsteps couldn't help but hurry, but I didn't pay attention to my feet, and my body stumbled, and I accidentally knocked over a bamboo basket on the shore.

There was a "poof" sound, and the bamboo basket fell into the river.

Only then did I realize that a barefoot boy was sitting on a long thick pole stretching out of the weeping willow on the surface of the river.

The young man was ordinary-looking, unkempt and dirty, very thin, not tall, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but a pair of eyes were full of energy.

The young man looked at the bamboo basket with a look of pity, patted his thigh, and immediately jumped up in anger, and shouted to me with confidence: "One foot of perch is newly caught, a total of six, and thirty taels of silver, it is not a slander to you!" ”

I was so panicked that I forgot to apologize, and only thought about getting away quickly, but I didn't think that the barefoot boy would roll over, jump from the tree, and block my way.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I bent down again and again to apologize and plead: "I hope that the little brother will forgive, there are really not so many silver taels to pay in the future!" ”

Seeing that my road was blocked, the two strong men who followed me showed hideous faces, and a figure squeezed away the barefoot boy.

The two strong men were more than seven feet tall and as strong as oxen, and they were as distinct as eagles and sparrows compared to barefoot boys.

The barefoot boy was almost squeezed into the river by two strong men, and he was so angry that he got out of the gap between the two, pinched his waist with both hands, and said angrily: "Find fault and score first, he just knocked over my bamboo basket, and he hasn't paid me for the fish!" ”

"God will run an errand in the mansion, and the acquaintance will dodge!" The strong man's voice was rough and quite intimidating.

Unexpectedly, the barefoot boy was not afraid, licked his lips, and his face was filled with a smile like a spring breeze.

"I didn't use 'roll' in front of the master, you are also one of the few Sven people in the snobbery eyes of Luoyang City, and you got out of the way quickly while the master was not mad...... The world is big, the master's affairs are the biggest, the master's affairs are not over, you are queuing! ”

I thought to myself, I have to fold here horizontally and vertically, there is no money, there is only one life, it really pushes me to be anxious, and there is always hope of escape when I jump into the river.

A gentleman must be open, but he should not stand under a dangerous wall.

One of the strong men snorted coldly, and said with an arrogant face: "What a big breath, I want to see what ability you have to dare to stop my two brothers!" ”

As he spoke, the two of them clenched their fists, and a surge of killing intent burst out from their cold and sharp eyes.

Seeing this, the barefoot boy turned over and jumped onto the trunk of the tree where he had just been fishing, and said with no fear: "If I take off this clothes, I am afraid that I will be scared to death!" ”

I saw that these two strong men were not like ordinary domestic slaves, and the momentum exuded by them was faintly a bit of the courage of the marching people, and I concluded that most of these two people were military members, and they were ruthless people who had licked blood from the tip of a knife.

This kind of person who has experienced a vicious battle of life and death on the battlefield is impossible to be bluffed by someone without saying a word, not to mention that the person who speaks wildly is still an unkempt young man with an unseen appearance.

The corners of the two strong men's mouths were slightly slanted, and they were actually amused by the barefoot boy.

"Oh? I want to see, what is so bluffing about your little body, which has a few taels of fine skin and tender meat? ”

The barefoot boy's upper body was very loose, it was a rough linen, and because the buttons on his body were not buttoned properly, he pulled it casually, and the clothes on his upper body were taken off very easily.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't take off his clothes, when he takes them off, he reveals a pitch-black embroidery.

I was curious to see that the tattoo on the upper body of the barefoot boy turned out to be a dragon!

I silently counted in my mouth, and there were nine in total!

When I thought that the black tattoo on the boy's body was a dragon, the nine tattoos on his body actually moved, like a nimble water snake, writhing on the upper body of the barefoot boy.

Not only me, but also the two strong men who followed me were stunned.

One of the strong men's face trembled, and he was stunned and said, "Nine dragons are entangled...... You...... You are the proton of Weiguo, Lu Yao! ”

The so-called Weiguo proton, this matter has to be traced back to the ups and downs of the dynasty.

This matter is described in detail in the Taishi literature, and this matter is well known to the people of the Great Zhou.

[The spring of the thirteenth year of Yongsheng of the Great Zhou.

Liu Bodang, a courtier in the north, brought cattle and sheep to the New Year, presented the "Beauty of the Mountains and Rivers" to King Zhou Ai, concluded a covenant of harmony between the ministers, and sought 800 miles of pasture in the northern snowfield.

"The Beauty of the Mountains and Rivers" draws the style of women all over Kyushu, which is a strange book today, and the beauty in the book can be awakened with human essence and blood, beyond the Three Realms and not among the five elements!

King Zhou Ai was very happy, fascinated, unable to extricate himself, desolate and wasted, he was stealing his body with wine, his body was depressed, and his domineering spirit was declining.

However, although the beauty in the book has the body of a real person, it is as cold as a mountain, even if it is beautiful and beautiful, beautiful and delicious, but there is no joy in the beauty, and the warmth is not felt alive. ”

The palace slave said: "The slave tastes and smells, the feelings of people are sincere, you can feel the sun and the moon in the sky, the love of people is sincere, all things are full of tears, I look at the eight hundred miles of beacon fire and wolf smoke has been wasted for more than a hundred years, the previous year Taizu was divided into eight road princes had agreed, the Son of Heaven called, the princes will come, it is better to light the beacon to burn wolf smoke, call the princes of the eight directions, to view their hearts, let a deer chase it, Pomeranian smiled? ”

King Zhou Ai was overjoyed, and felt very good, so he lit the beacon fire and wolf smoke to summon the princes to the capital of Ji.

The beacon is burning, and the world is shocked!

The princes of the Eighth Route went to the capital of Jindu in danger, prepared for battle, and went out with soldiers and horses, and rushed thousands of miles to defend the capital.

The princes from all walks of life came to the capital of Ki, but they expected that the Son of Heaven was unharmed, and they lit the beacon fire and played the princes, just for the Pomeranian people to laugh, this move was really ridiculous, and the princes from all walks of life all gritted their teeth and left, extremely disappointed.

The Son of Heaven misbehaves, his temperament is not pure, and the courtesy of the government and the opposition is broken, and he listens to slander, and lets the deer be exiled to peek into the hearts of the courtiers, which is a disaster that disturbs people's hearts.

In the autumn of that year, the sixteen barbarian tribes invaded eastward, and the Great Zhou Dynasty declined, and then ignited the beacon fire to summon the princes, but this time no princes were called to go.

The capital was in danger, and the Son of Heaven summoned no princes to believe again, so he had to order the palace slaves to use the tripod as a token to ask the princes for help.

The world is in Kyushu, and the nine tripods are separated, symbolizing royal power.

King Zhou Ai gave a tripod to cut a state to ask for help: those who retreat from the barbarian army, holding this tripod hereditary repudiation for the Yue princes and called the king, riding nine cars, wearing eight reckless brocade robes, can be the first in the world, the head of the eighteen princes!

As soon as this tripod came out, the Xiao wall disaster arose, Jing and Wei two marquis fought for hegemony, competing for the tripod in the weak water, 300,000 soldiers, fighting each other for the tripod of royal power, and the world has been in chaos since then.

The world is in turmoil, the capital of Ji is moved, one of the nine tripods in the world is left, the nine states in the world are lost, the princes are chasing the tripod, the people are abandoned, the peasants are famine, and the corpses are starved and ambushed, which can be seen everywhere.

The princes fought for three years, and Jing Guo killed 100,000 soldiers of Wei State, and the battle ended in a fiasco of Wei State, and the situation in troubled times was slightly controlled.

In order to seek a truce of peace, the Wei State ceded all the six counties south of Mobei and north of the weak water river, and sent the prince Dan to Jing as a hostage, which opened a period of 20 years of friendship between the princes. 】

Who is the barefoot boy in front of him?

He is the child born to Prince Dan and Jing Guoyouling.

Prince Dan's only flesh and blood.

In the distance, this barefoot young man Lu Yao's body still flows with the blood of the Great Zhou Martial Ancestor.

It's a pity that Prince Dan has been hostage in Jing for 20 years, and because of the hopelessness of returning to the country, he has been depressed for many years, and finally hung himself on a drunken and drowsy night, but he has been hostage in a foreign country for a sad life.

Only the barefoot boy in front of him, Lu Yao, was left.

Looking at the barefoot young man in front of me, who had lost the temperament of a prince, I couldn't help but wonder: "It stands to reason that this young man should continue to be hostage in Jingguo, how can he appear in Luoyang City?" ”
