Section 1 Return to the Imperial Capital
Dìdū Castle was built in 335 in the imperial calendar, and was originally built by the 11th Emperor of the Bright Empire with the aim of setting up an important town in the southwest region to prevent the demons from attacking and disturbing Sāo (at that time, the Valen Fortress had not yet been built), and its original name was Jiashan Fortress. By the year 553 of the imperial calendar, the final control of the Xichuan Continent by the Bright Empire had fallen apart, and Zichuan Yun, who was himself the envoy of the southwest of the empire, declared dúlì, seized the opportunity to seize the Jiashan Fortress, renamed it "dìdū", and used it as a base to expand to the surrounding areas and establish the Zichuan family. Zi Chuanyun himself is the first generation of the head of the family.
From the beginning of the family's founding, Dìdū City has been firmly controlled in the hands of the Zichuan family, whether it is the army of the Liufeng family or the surging demon community, in the face of the strong city wall fortifications of Dìdū City, and the bloody battle of seven generations of Zichuan soldiers, stubborn resistance, they have to return in vain. A string of glorious names is linked to the history of the city - Zichuan Yun, Yarime, Shajia, Zichuan Xing, Yunshan River, Camus - and later generations will have to add Zichuan Xiu. After 300 years of war, Dìdū Castle has always stood tall.
After a hundred years of conquest by the family, the family territory has continued to expand, and Dìdū is no longer the front line, becoming the first of the three major cities on the Xichuan continent, ranking above the "Yuanjing" of the Liufeng family and the "river hill" of the Lin family.

One day in August 778 of the Imperial calendar, a group returning from the Far Eastern front entered the dìdū. Its main members include the newly promoted deputy commander Zichuan Xiu, the guard captain Gu Lei and the forty members of the personal guard team led by him, and three reluctant "unlucky guys".
Bai Chuan: "My lord, when did you send a kind heart and let a few of us go back to the Far East?"
Roger: "yes, everybody's got to know each other - you should do a good deed." By your side...--I'm still a child, and I don't want to die so early!"
Nagagawa reproached Roger: "Phew, what did you say, did you talk to your superiors like this? It's rude! Ask adults to be respectful and polite!"
Changchuan turned around and said to Zichuan Xiu with tears and snot: "Please see that there is an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child in the lower officials, and show mercy!"
Zichuan Xiu looked very innocent: "Oh, you've been arguing all the way, aren't you tired?" -- I'm also very embarrassed, the instructions to mobilize you are the meaning of Lord Luo Bo, the chief of the general staff." ”
"Look into your eyes... You're smiling so cheaply - you know you're lying!"
"That's it, Luo Bo and you are not in the same group!"
"I've heard that you bought us all of us with two bottles of wine to Robo, and you look down on people!—we're worth at least one bottle each!"
"Two bottles of wine are for your equipment - for you, Roger, it's worth a cap at most!"
......

In front of the station in dìdū, a group of people came out.
"Oh, I'm back!dìdū, your beauty is still there!"
Zichuan Xiu recalled that 6 years ago, in order to defend the city, he was a young man, and he led the troops to fight fiercely with the powerful Flowing Wind Army for the first time... Time has passed, how many people in this dìdū city still remember themselves?
"The dust is like a dream!" "When Shikawa Xiuzheng sighed infinitely...
"Don't be there in a daze! I'm going to starve us to death!"
"If we don't have food, we'll go back to the Far East!"
"We want to live in a star-rated hotel!"
You don't have to look back to know who said it.

After setting up Gu Lei and the guards, Zichuan Xiu and the three of them went shopping. Coming to this prosperous place from the war-torn Far East, everything is new when you look left and right. Roger grabbed a young man passing by and asked, "Where is the restaurant?"
The young man looked at them, dressed in rustic clothes, speaking with a strong Far Eastern accent, and said disdainfully in the dìdū dialect: "Countryman!", and ignored them.
Roger didn't understand, so he turned around and asked Zichuan Xiu: My lord, what does "redneck" mean?"
Zichuan Xiu is casual: "It means a general term for residents of urban areas on the mainland to non-urban residents, usually without praise." ”
Roger: "...... Still don't understand. ”
Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "Then you should always remember what we call those earthen hats in those border villages that wear animal skins, never brush their teeth and wash their faces, and only take a bath three times in their lives, right?"
※※※
Roger was furious: "I am a dignified bannerman, he dares to look down on me like this?
Less than five minutes later, Roger came back dejected.
Shikawa Xiuyoyo asked, "How is it?
Roger: "He taught me a lesson - he's the Red Flagbook." ”
Changchuan looked as he walked: "I heard that the girls in Dìdū are very bold and new, just look at their clothes, ah!
He stopped a passing girl, and in his most elegant posture and gentleest tone: "Miss, do you believe in love at first sight?
"Robbery! Help!" Miss didn't even listen to him, and fled!
Changchuan didn't dare to look back and face the eyes of his companions...
※※※
"I think the girls in this city must have a phobia of men - there is no other reason to explain it!" Nagagawa said generously.
Bai Chuan: "I know that La knows--they are all in love with xìng, right? Yushu Linfeng, handsome and dashing Uncle Changchuan, can you let us go? I said forty pieces all the way, and my ears are oily!"
Roger: "Shhh
Changchuan: "I scored 99 points, peerless fairy!--I'm a little younger." ”
Bai Chuan looked at the faces of these two stinky men coldly, and snorted disdainfully: "Look at you like that--you just released from prison, you don't have any grace at all! Look at how calm our Lord Xiuchuan is, he didn't say a word..."
Zichuan Xiu ran over without saying a word.
"I didn't expect the adults to be ahead of me - no way, I've been holding back in the Far East for six years, and he is also a man of flesh and blood, hurry!"
"Ha, look at him like that! Suddenly block the way of other girls, and without saying a word, just look at them - you will be slapped in the face!"
"Look at the girls who scared them - their faces have changed?"
"That's right, that's right, you see that the bag in her hand has fallen off in fright--we adults are also pitiful to say, so unrelated to women, no wonder xìng Ge is weird! Shirakawa, you have to care more about him in the future!"
"What are they doing standing and looking at each other? It's time to shout for help!"
What happened next made them can't believe their eyes: that noble and generous girl sobbed and threw herself into Zichuan Xiu's arms!
Zi Chuanxiu gently but resolutely held her shoulder, stared at her teary eyes, and slowly knelt down on one knee and kissed her hand.
Roger was dumbfounded: "It's so easy to propose?!"
Nagagawa regretted it: "It would have been good if I had known that I was going to the university -- it turns out that the woman who is dìdū is really open!"
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" -- the three of them were startled: he could hear a whisper from a few dozen meters away, and his words were not loud, but they were as clear as if they were speaking in their ears.
Zichuan Xiu's voice was stern like never before: "This is the only daughter of the former head of the family, Lord Zichuan Yuanxing, the niece of the current head of the family, and the first heir to the head of the family, Miss Zichuan Ning!
Roger, Shirakawa, and Nagagawa all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads in salute.
