Chapter 001: The Abandoned Prince
Shenlong Dynasty.
In the year 2023, fine snow will fall.
The heavens and the earth are covered in silver, and the sky is white.
Everyone is preparing for the New Year's event, and the pedestrians on the road look hurried and their eyes are full of joy.
The beggars and refugees on the streets, dressed in thin-clothed and tattered leather, shivered in the bitter cold wind.
"It's time for soup kitchen! Let's go, everyone. ”
I don't know who suddenly shouted.
Hearing this, the gloomy eyes of the crowd showed a glimmer of hope, and they got up from the cold ground one after another, and the big ones pulled the small ones and followed the large army.
Before you know it, a long queue of thousands of people has been formed.
Two porridge sheds have been set up at the gate of the city, free sweet potato porridge is distributed, and some people are distributing free old clothes, hoping to help people survive the cold winter.
Every year, when winter comes, many people die of hunger and cold.
In this era with a background of cultivating immortals, the lives of ordinary people are like mustard, small and fragile.
More than a dozen guards with knives guarded the vicinity of the porridge shed, full of murderous spirit, to prevent anyone from making trouble without following the rules.
This has happened before, and it almost caused a mess.
It wasn't until a dozen people died that the situation calmed down.
Since then, no one has dared to make trouble anymore, and most of them have been holding bowls in a proper manner and standing in long lines.
"Brother, who is this great benevolent person?"
"Except for His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes today, who else cares about our life or death?"
"The Nine Emperors? It's really fake, isn't it rumored that the Nine Emperors like to eat, drink, and have fun, and to be sexual? Would he be so kind to give us soup and alms? There can't be any conspiracy, right? ”
As soon as he said that, the man suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were not quite right, and they all seemed to catch him to dip in the pig cage, which made people feel more stressed.
You must know that most of them have relied on the Nine Emperor Princes to survive until now.
The Nine Emperors are their saviors.
Where can they allow others to slander each other?
What if the people of the Nine Emperor Princes heard this and refused to give them soup soup again? Are they not going to starve to death and freeze to death?
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting the Nine Emperors of ill intentions? ”
"Everyone is a rotten person, if it weren't for the kindness of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, who gave soup porridge once every three days and gave us warm clothes to wear, I don't know how many people would have starved to death and froze to death, do you have a conscience to say such things?"
"You're here on purpose, aren't you? You want to destroy the big guy's life, don't you? ”
"Call the guards over, I suspect this man is a spy, don't let him escape."
"Huh? Don't, I'm not, I'm really not a spy, I also listen to others. ”
At the same time, on the inn next to the porridge shed, a man and a woman, dressed in sect costumes, sat near the window to rest, and their eyes could just see the free soup kitchen, and everyone's words fell to their ears without a word.
"This Nine Emperor Princes is a bit interesting, looking at these refugees, they all seem to respect him?"
The female sect disciple said in a clear voice.
"I have heard of the Nine Emperor Princes, although it is rumored that although this person is a prince, he has no ambitions, a loose personality, is hedonistic, does not want to make progress all day long, and likes to make some strange things, and he is the most unbearable person among the many princes and princesses of the Shenlong Dynasty."
The male sect disciple shook his head, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and his words were full of disdain.
"Senior sister, don't forget the purpose of our descent this time, Master asked us to choose a master and assist each other wholeheartedly, so as to wait for the glorious sect in the future, the Nine Emperors have a stubborn personality and are overwhelmed by heavy responsibilities, and they are definitely not a good match for us."
The male sect disciple said seriously.
The female sect disciple was silent.
On the other side, the Nine Emperors' Mansion.
Twelve-year-old Long Junjiu was lying in the courtyard, wearing a velvet coat, lazily basking in the sun, and there was a brazier next to him, warm and comfortable.
"Your Highness the Nine, it's cold in the courtyard, you better hurry into the house, what if you accidentally get infected with the wind cold?"
A sweet-looking, pure and delicate, beautiful voice like the cry of a lark, Qingzhu, a maid who was only about fourteen years old, walked out of the house and said with a concerned face.
"Wait a while, it will be my father's birthday in two days, what gifts should I prepare?"
Long Junjiu squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself with some distress.
"As long as it is a gift carefully prepared by His Royal Highness, His Majesty will definitely accept it happily."
The maid Qingzhu chuckled.
"That's not necessarily, you also know that my father has always been unwilling to see me."
Long Junjiu shook his head and looked up at the sky.
He is not actually a person from this world, but a modern person who is reborn into this world with his memories.
His luck in rebirth this time was very good, and he became the honorable Nine Emperor Princes of the Shenlong Dynasty.
In this dynasty with a background in cultivating immortals, Long Junjiu can be said to have grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he has almost wanted anything since he was a child.
It wasn't until he was six years old that he was detected by the Shenlong Dynasty as having a mediocre cultivation talent, and he was given up.
The emperor of the Shenlong Dynasty rewarded him with a mansion, dozens of servants, and hundreds of hectares of fertile land outside the palace.
Enough for him to spend his life rich and carefree.
Although Long Junjiu's cultivation talent is very poor.
But he's a dragon after all.
Even if he is just an ordinary prince, life is enviable to countless people.
Fortunately, Long Junjiu's life is not like that of the waste prince in traditional novels.
Just because the roots and bones are not good, they are spurned and bullied by all kinds of people, and then they fight back.
The lack of that kind of bloody plot really made him thankful.
Although he regretted the mediocrity of his cultivation talent, in fact, this kind of life was the most suitable for him.
After all, he was an ordinary person in his previous life, and even if he was reincarnated with memories, he was still an ordinary person.
As the saying goes, the most ruthless emperor is the family.
If Long Junjiu wants to compete for power and profit with other princes and princesses, he may not know how he will die in the future.
Since ancient times, the struggle of the emperor's family has been extremely cruel, Long Junjiu is the ninth among the many princes, and the brothers in front of him are only the eldest brother Long Zhantian, the third brother Long Changsheng, the seventh brother Long Xiao, and the two princesses Long Mengyue and Long Cailuan.
The second brother committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, the fourth brother was assassinated, the fifth brother died prematurely, the sixth brother was betrayed by his subordinates and died of poisoning, and the starling brother died of a war beast that went berserk and lost control, and was trampled on half of his body and died.
The second princess was framed for collaborating with the enemy and ended up beheaded.
The fourth princess and the fifth princess were killed when they went out, and they were tortured to death by bandits, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
It seems like a coincidence, but is it really a coincidence?
Others don't know, but the death of the eighth prince, the fourth princess, and the fifth princess, Long Junjiu all witnessed it with his own eyes.
That scene really caused a lot of psychological shadows for him when he was still young.
You must know that the war beasts of the royal family have been strictly cultivated and domesticated since childhood, and the probability of suddenly going berserk and losing control is very low.
and the deaths of the fourth and fifth princesses are also full of strangeness, would they be so stupid as to go out without even a guard? How could an ordinary bandit be an opponent of the royal guards.
When they were found, the whole mountain of bandits was wiped out, as if they had been killed, and there was not a single mouth left alive.
It's scary to think about.
Long Junjiu didn't have any ambitions, he just wanted to eat, drink, and enjoy the life of the royal family. Live in peace.
It doesn't matter if you become a waste prince who has no ambition and does not want to make progress in the eyes of others.
