The room was filled with the scent of roses.

The girl stood on tiptoe and looked out of the delicate window.

Outside the window is Shenyang City, crisscrossed by prosperous and spacious avenues. She couldn't see the people on the road clearly, only horse-drawn carriages and oil-paper umbrellas that were stretched out. The outside is full of flowers and wine, and it is a colorful world, while inside there is only the fragrance of roses. She even had a little disgust with this flower, and as the totem of the Great Dynasty, the royal family and the nobles would keep this flower at home or the alchemist would make a perfume bottle from this flower, and take pride in it. Out of the bedroom, there is a deep and lonely garden, where there are also flowers, ponds, colorful fish, and the reflection of willows hanging in the moonlight—but she is alone.

The girl was dressed in white silk pajamas and walked barefoot in the garden. She broke off a blooming rose, and the thorns of the branches did not prick her hand. She looked at the bright red flower and threw it into the pond.

"Be careful, don't hurt your hand." Out of nowhere, the voice of the voice sounded.

There was unconcealed joy on her face.

A boy dressed in black silk came out of the corner, his chest embroidered with a golden rose pattern.

"Brother......" the girl said, turning around.

The boy held her hand, and the girl snuggled into the boy's arms, she slowly stroked the rose pattern on the boy's chest, her fingers brushing over the golden silk lines.

She closed her eyes, as if to put this moment in her heart, as if this would allow time to stop.

Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded out of nowhere, and the chaotic sound disturbed her mood, and when she opened her eyes, the boy was gone, the smell of flowers was gone, and the garden was burned down by a fire, replaced by pitch-black pillars. When the girl looked closely, it turned out to be the trunks of large trees, and she was lying beside the roots of a huge tree, with a blanket laid out underneath her, and in front of her was a flickering fire—a fire burning with branches.

Night covered the woods.

"You're awake." The young man sat on the sidelines, staring at Liu Mengjing.

Liu Mengjin moved her gaze into the distance. The boy picked up a branch from the ground and threw it into the fire. The fire flickered, and the firewood crackled.

"What do you want?" After a moment of silence, Liu Mengjing said.

The young man looked at Liu Mengjing's violet eyes and said, "Your blood." ”

Liu Mengjin was slightly stunned.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." The boy said.

Liu Mengjin looked at the boy. It was the first time he had carefully observed the person in front of him. He has black hair, dark brown eyes, and eagle-like eyebrows, but his eyes are often calm as water. If it weren't for seeing it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that such a bandit leader was actually a teenager.

"My name is Cheng Fu." The boy said, "You can just call me by my name." ”

Liu Mengjing's heart suddenly trembled. The meaning of the young man's words was that Liu Mengjin would stay with him for a long time, maybe a lifetime, until the emperor's army found them. She originally thought that they were going to take themselves hostage in order to blackmail the emperor to give them benefits. But ordinary mountain bandits have never dared to do this, and even if they appear in history, they will not die well. She didn't understand what he wanted, and he seemed to be very determined, and there seemed to be no room for manoeuvre in the kidnapping of the princess.

The young man who claimed to be Cheng Fu stood up, took out a kettle from his saddle bag, handed it to Liu Mengjin, and said, "Give." ”

Liu Mengjin looked up at the kettle. Whatever it was, she didn't seem to have a choice. Even if it was poison or sleeping pills, she couldn't refuse.

However, Cheng Fu did not force her to drink, he handed the kettle to Liu Mengjing's hand, and said: "The kettle is clean, specially prepared for you before going out, no one has touched it, and the water is also clean, if you are thirsty, drink it." ”

Liu Mengzhen looked at the kettle in his hand and was silent for a while.

"After all, she is the princess of the Great Dynasty and can't be ruined. Otherwise, the emperor will not let me go until he dies, and it will be very troublesome at that time. Cheng Fu said.

Liu Mengjin looked at him and said, "Are you still going to give it back?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Fu said, "I only need your blood, and when you get there, I will return you after I take your blood." He said, paused, glanced at the dark woods, and said, "In the meantime, I will probably leave this place too." ”

"My blood? Why my blood? Liu Mengjin asked, at this time she was not as scared as before, maybe it was her intuition, she thought that the young man in front of her was not very scary, at least there was no killing intent towards her.

Hearing the princess ask this, Cheng Fu was stunned. He looked at Liu Mengjing, her face was white and clean, her lips were red, and there was no fear in her purple eyes, flowing with a pale golden luster. No one who was born in the Da Qi Dynasty can deny her beauty, in fact, everyone who has seen her thinks that the princess of Da Qi is the most beautiful girl on this continent. But at this moment, Cheng Fu is concerned that there is no trace of lying on this girl's face.

"Didn't your father tell you? Your Liu royal family has the blood of the ancient junction in your body. ”

Legend has it that in ancient times, the skies from different worlds intertwined and blurred the boundaries, and ancient gods from different worlds killed each other, leaving blood between the mountains and rivers. These ancient divine blood later gave birth to a tribe of human beings, and the people of these tribes all possessed the blood of the primordial gods, which was later called the blood of the ancient gods. Later, a large ship floated on the coast of nowhere, and the people on the boat flowed different blood from the people of these tribes, and after several generations of communication, the blood of the old gods gradually faded, and later almost completely disappeared, and only a very small number of people still had a high proportion of the blood of the old gods in their bodies for unknown reasons, and it would not be diluted by mating.

The blood of these people showed amazing divine power in the later world. Humans with this blood are immune to any disease and have a higher lifespan than the average human, and it has also been discovered for its ability to save lives and prolong lives in the history of wars for generations. In addition, there are also legends of mysterious origin, saying that this blood can summon ancient demon gods and dragons, and it is a cursed bloodline that should be killed completely. There is another theory that the future of humanity will face a great catastrophe, and only those with this bloodline can stop it. No one knows what is true. There are very few people with this bloodline, and there are only a handful in the history books. And even if many people have this kind of blood, they will hide it as a secret in order to avoid trouble.

Liu Mengjing said suspiciously, "The blood of the ancient gods? What is that? Father never mentioned it. ”

Cheng Fu thought for a while and said, "Maybe Emperor Yi doesn't want you to bear these burdens, so he chooses not to tell you." After all, I am probably the only one in this world who knows that the blood of the Liu family flows in the blood of this ancient god. It is not necessarily a bad thing to be forgotten by the world. ”

Liu Mengjin was slightly surprised, maybe she didn't think that the person who kidnapped her was actually for something she didn't even know she had.

"So you want my blood...... Do what? Can you tell me? Liu Mengjin asked, she wanted to know what the blood of the junction was, but looking at Cheng Fu's appearance, she didn't mean to tell him at all, so she couldn't ask again. For her, Cheng Fu is still the one who controls her destiny, she doesn't know him, she doesn't know his character, and she doesn't know if what he says is true. As a hostage, if you say the wrong thing, you may lose your life. And at this moment, she also saw that the reason why Cheng Fu respected her so much was not because she was the princess of Da Qi, but because of the blood in her body.

Cheng Fu looked at Liu Mengjing's eyes and did not speak.

Liu Mengzhen understood that Cheng Fu didn't want to answer her, and his identity was not qualified for Cheng Fu to get the answer to this question. She didn't say anything more.

As the sky gradually brightened, Cheng Fu's team began to hit the road again, and before reaching his destination, Cheng Fu and Liu Mengjin did not say a word again.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and enters the woods deep in Suzushu with a slight chill of the morning.

Liu Mengjin felt that the speed of the team had slowed down, which meant that their destination was almost there.

Cheng Fu had been riding in front of Liu Mengjing, occasionally looking back at her to make sure nothing had happened to Princess Daqi.

The team began to shrink, and Cheng Fu led Liu Mengjin to the front, and a large number of mountain bandits followed them, forming a long line.

A hole appeared deep in the wood-covered woods. Cheng Fu rode into the hole, and Liu Mengzhen followed.

The cave is not deep, so it does not need to be illuminated by torches. As they walked out of the cave, a large expanse of sunlight poured on their faces. Liu Mengjin felt a wave of warmth all over her body.

It is an open field, because there is no shade from the trees, and the sky hanging with the morning sun can be seen in an unobstructed view.

Cheng Fu suddenly stopped, turned his head to Liu Mengjin and said, "I'm sorry, now you have to close your eyes." ”

A mountain bandit behind Liu Mengjin stepped forward and blindfolded Liu Mengjin with a black silk scarf and tied it to the back of her head.

Liu Mengzhen struggled for a moment, she was not used to this kind of situation where her sight was controlled by others, as a princess, from childhood to adulthood, she could watch whatever she wanted, and no one was restrained. Although she can't go wherever she wants, she has the right to see the world, at least she has.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a house. It is a simple and clean room, not outrageous, but like an ordinary private house. There was a bed in the room, and when Liu Mengjing looked at it, he found that there was a girl lying on the bed, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair, and the look between her eyebrows was somewhat similar to that of Cheng Fu, and her face was slightly pale. At this time, she was lying quietly with her eyes closed.
