It was the spring breeze that was just blowing, the greenery was beginning to emerge, and it was in the wind of the Spring Garden Festival. But one night, the flowers and branches were broken, and the sky was full of blood, but I could no longer see the pear blossom boat and Du Lang wine.

Lin Qingwan walked out of the back door of a firewood room, and saw the slightly decomposed corpses that fell to the ground nearby and were speechless for a while, just trembling slightly, and a lily white dress had already been stained with blood into a large patch of mottled red.

Qinglian, the personal guard serving beside her, also poked her head out.

"Young City Lord, we have been slaughtered."

The conjecture in Qingwan's heart was confirmed, and her voice trembled a little unconsciously.

"What about the city lord? What about my mother? ”

Qinglian lowered her head, "The city lord has entrusted me to follow and protect you, and it is estimated that I have fallen at this moment, and this is what she left to you." ”

It was a letter, and her personal sword, Liyuan.

The letter asked Qingwan not to forget the suffering of millions of city citizens, not to forget the hatred of the total annihilation of the city guards, and not to forget the heavy responsibility of reviving the family and country.

In addition, take the sword to the Pingshu Pavilion of the Li Kingdom, and use the troops there to plot a plan to restore the country.

Li Guo?

It's just a small country on the border. Qingwan had heard of the Pingshu Pavilion, a killer organization, but she didn't expect that the headquarters would be related to the queen mother there.

This massacre of the city is full of suspicions, and she needs to protect herself first, so she doesn't have so much time to think about it.

"Qinglian, it's not easy for us to escape by luck, if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Qinglian took off the black veil that covered her face for the first time, "From now on, you are the city lord, and as a person from Fengluo City, I will swear to avenge my clansmen to the death, and I will never betray if I am loyal to the city lord." ”

Qinglian has always been decisive and ruthless, and in three or two steps, she swallowed the Life Devouring Gu into her mouth, and the crimson insect burrowed into her throat, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I know the conventions of the city lord in my heart, so my life is decided by the city lord alone."

"Okay, she deserves to be a woman in the Wind Falling City." Qingwan shook off the dust on his body and rose into the air.

As soon as the enemy chasing from the rear showed up, she was slashed by her flying sword.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go to Li as soon as possible."

"Yes, city lord." Qinglian swooped forward, throwing all the hidden weapons on her body, and each of them saw blood and flesh.

A handful of powder was suddenly ejected on the flat ground, and suddenly the smoke filled the two sides from each other, and when they came back to their senses, there was no trace of the two before.

The escape road is very dangerous, the pursuers are behind, the bandits are in front, and wild beasts in the wilderness are often infested.

When they reached the stream, night had fallen, and the clouds were thick, as if they were going to make rain.

"How long do we have left to enter the territory of the Lebanese Kingdom?" Qingwan sat cross-legged by the stream.

Qinglian lit a fire beside her, "About two days' journey." ”

There is no food, no backup, no money, such a predicament makes Lin Qingwan, who has been pampered since childhood, a little at a loss.

She held back her emotions, calmed down and analyzed the current situation, at least surviving first.

"According to the experience of marching, the stream here leads directly to the nearby mountain stream, and there may be traps or pursuers on both large and small roads here."

"If they don't catch me, they won't just stop."

Only, take the waterway to fight, if it is the diversion of the Li River, it can go straight to the Li country.

Qinglian sat on her knees with a good fire, "Does the city lord want to build a ship into the river?" ”

"Shipbuilding is unlikely, but this sword has extraordinary capabilities." Qingwan gripped the hilt of the sword at her side.

Liyuan is incarnated by the body of a dragon, although the dragon's divine consciousness has been sealed on the ruins of ten thousand mirrors for ten thousand years, but it does not prevent it from avoiding water.

The water-repellent beads are transformed by the surrounding water vapor, and after the condensation of the sword body, the two people in the beads can see very clearly from the outside.

Dive deep, but you're at the bottom in an instant.

Walking here is no different from the flat land on land.

The sand and gravel rolled, and the water rushed rapidly, as if it had hit a wound, and a trace of blood was scattered in the water.

As we traveled, the water became more and more muddy, and the hands were full of mud.

As if the sun was shining through the clouds, they unconsciously walked to the dawn of the river, and the slightest light sprinkled through the mud and sand on the water-sheltering droplets, and the fluorescence illuminated their dry and tired bodies.

"It's finally here?" Qingwan's chapped lips gently grinded out the words at this time.

"City Lord, we have arrived at Lijiang."

Qinglian stepped forward and dragged her somewhat staggered body, although there was no extra strength on her body.

"Go ashore."

"Okay."

The water of the Li River is muddy, the surrounding soil is relaxed, and there are sand, gravel and yellow grass all around, and it is such a desolate place.

Before they could rest, a young man walked towards them.

They were suddenly vigilant.

Up close, the young man wore a strangely shaped hat, short haircut, and a short inky dress with silver ornaments, with a delicate and strange cut.

Qingwan didn't think he was from Li Guo, nor like people from neighboring countries, Xu came from an unknown small place.

I thought it would be good to miss the way, but I didn't expect the man to go straight to her.

"Hello, excuse me. I would like to ask what year it is. The man asked politely, but his words were particularly strange.

"Each different country has a different way of chronology, I don't know if it's the almanac of the Li country?" Qingwan answered politely despite her doubts.

"I'm in the territory of the country of Li now?"

"Nature."

"Then according to the country of Li, how many years is it now?"

"Nguyen, three years"

"Could you please explain a little?"

Qingwan was a little impatient, "The name of each monarch of the Li State is the name of the country's year, and the number of years of reign is used as the chronology. ”

"Then the monarch's name is Ruan?"

"That's not it, this one is more special, after all, the war is raging now, and the previous monarch was recently killed by a man named Yan Jing."

"He conquered the entire national capital by force, and established himself as Nguyen, the specific reason is unknown."

According to common sense, if the locals of Li naturally can't listen to this level of political discussion, it seems that this man is not a local.

But...... Why this emoji?

The man seemed to bow his head in contemplation and frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed, and the scarlet tear mole under the narrow eyelid was particularly conspicuous.

What is he struggling with?

Or what does it have to do with him?

Intuition tells Qingwan that he has an unusual relationship with Li Guo, but the answer may be far beyond expectations.

"We are refugees who have traveled far and wide, and our homeland has been torn by war and we have to come here to earn a living." This is a mixed bag, and Qingwan still wants to say more from the man.

"Under the fire, it is difficult for civilians to survive." He sighed slightly.

"I'm a traveler from abroad, and to be honest, I'm still a little like you, and I have nowhere to go."

Resemble? Qingwan thought it was a joke.

"In that case, how about we share our lives and make a living together in Lidu?"

This move is both to probe the bottom and to save lives.

If it is a spy from another country, he can also kill first, at least he can't let outsiders see the true face.

"Is that okay? There is no one to show the way. ”

"It's a bit awkward to say the name, though......"

"My name is Yan Jing."

Seeing his bright and sunny smile, it was difficult for Qingwan to associate him with that cruel monarch, maybe the same name?

"I am the Yan Jing in your mouth, the monarch of Li Guo."

Qingwan was shocked by the word "monarch", and clenched Liyuan with both hands.

"However, I've only just figured out the situation."

"Thanks to you, I knew that I blew up the Monarch's Mansion and became the monarch of the Li Kingdom."

He still has some pride?

Qinglian beside Qingwan retreated slightly, and was making a gesture to attack, but was persuaded by Qingjuan's handrail.

"Then you pretended to test me just now?"

"That's not it, after all, I didn't expect to make such a big move in just three days after I came here."

"Monarch, this joke doesn't fit in well now."

Yan Jing seemed to have lost his patience, clapped his hands, and his smile was replaced by coldness in an instant.

The dark guards in ambush beside him swarmed up, not like a direct stabbing to death, as if they were going to be captured alive.

Qinglian had been on guard before, and she didn't seem surprised to see this scene, this move was actually to kill her life.

"City Lord, run away."

It's a pity that they underestimated the ability of the Dark Guards, and they didn't anticipate their purpose.

There is also a huge flaw, since Yan Jing has just ascended the throne, why is it the third year of Ruan Li.

The master and servant were both captured, as if drugged, and fell asleep.
