The Yunzhou continent is divided into east and west continents, and the east continent is controlled by the city lords of the three cities, and the three cities complement each other to make the Dongzhou continent a peaceful scene. However, Xizhou was ruled by the old aristocratic forces, and there was a scene of defeat, but Xizhou still hated the three cities of Dongzhou and tried in vain to unify the Yunzhou continent. The three cities of Dongzhou are the central city of Rongcheng, Wucheng Yecheng, and Wencheng Le'an City.

Yecheng is located at the border, is the border fortress of the entire Dongzhou Continent, Yecheng with the Shen family as the city master, training the army, is the Dongzhou Continent where all capable sons and daughters want to go. Although Yecheng is far away from the prosperous place, it is a symbol of Dongzhou, and the famous soldiers of Yecheng are Xuanjia black horses. If there is a war, Yecheng is in Dongzhou.

Le'an City is the "City of Literature" in the mainland of Dongzhou, most of the literati and writers are from this city, although there has never been an emperor in Dongzhou, but the literati from Le'an City are courtiers and strategists. Le'an City fought for the Qu clan and the Wen clan many years ago, but the Wen clan was short-lived, and there was a curse that they could not live for thirty, and the Qu clan became the city lord of Le'an City. The Jishan Academy in Le'an City is the place sought by literati and artists.

The central city of Rongcheng is the most prosperous, and is in charge of the lifeblood of the Dongzhou continent. The Zuo clan is in charge of the position of the city lord, although the three cities are complementary, in fact, after all, the Rong City is the main one, and the Zuo City Lord is the highest power owner in the three cities.

Both men and women in Dongzhou can be officials and generals, and they can even inherit the unification and take charge of the position of city lord. Dongzhou women can only marry when they are eighteen years old, and they can still continue to be officials and generals when they marry into their husband's family.

Rongcheng is now the left city lord as the city lord, the city lord's daughter left to resign as the young city lord, and the old city lord of the left can inherit the unification when the old city lord returns in the future. The three cities are all friendly relations, but at the time of chaos, two years before the death of the left city lord, there was already chaos in Rongcheng.

Zuo Ci walked in the Rongcheng City Lord's Mansion, looking at the peach blossoms blooming all over the trees, with a relaxed smile on his face, but such a smile would never be seen again after many years.

The face of the girl standing under the peach tree is reassuring to look at, but no one would have imagined that such a quiet day would become Zuo Ci's extravagant hope later in Rongcheng.

Zuo Ci saw that on the side of the path, a little girl ran towards her with a freshly picked flower in her hand, her face full of smiles, which made people envious. Zuo Ci didn't know how long she hadn't laughed like this, she envied the little girl, so she protected the little girl well.

"Run slower, don't fall."

The little girl stood in front of Zuo Ci, tiptoeing off the peach blossom petals on Zuo Ci's hair, her eyes were crooked, and she seemed to be able to see the starlight clearly. The little girl smiled and replied crisply.

"Sister Zuo, he promised me to take me to the foot of the Void Mountain to pick dates in two days. The dates there are the sweetest, and Sister Zuo will eat them with us when the time comes. ”

Zuo Ci gently rubbed the little girl's head, took the bouquet in the little girl's arms, and smiled gently, she said.

"Okay."

This scene is deeply rooted in his heart with a fold in the distance, no matter when, he can always think of that gentle and stubborn face, deeply engraved in his heart, and he can't forget it.

Many years later, there is a person in the same position now, if Zuo did not trust the wrong person this year, maybe it would be a different situation. He looked at the peach blossoms that were still blooming, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart. The wind blew, the peach blossoms floated in the air, and he held a petal in his hand, and he knew that he would not be able to keep it after all.

"The city lord has passed away."

The story of everything began in this year, and perhaps Zuo Ci, who succeeded to the throne later, also thought that it was the beginning of this year that led to the chaos in the Dongzhou Continent many years later, so that it was irreparable, and this year was the twenty-third year of Yaoguan.
