In the heart of Emperor Longhui.

Even if he rarely sees Xiao Qi, the existence of this son is different from other princes and princesses after all.

So.

A person who is valued by Xiao Qi.

He is also willing to give three points of attention.

A palace maid, where is it worthy of being treated like this.

Since he has done this, what else does Emperor Longhui not understand.

Xiao Qi is going to lift up that little maid.

The purpose is to keep people around.

And also to give the name.

As for how far the little maid can go, it depends on her own ability.

**

Nuer City.

A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in coarse linen, walked into the room.

There was an irrepressible coughing sound from inside.

"Ah Niang ......"

Apricot stepped forward and poured her a glass of water.

The woman on the couch had a withered face and a sallow face.

His cheeks were an unnatural red.

"Snatching things again?" The middle-aged woman asked with an unsteady breath.

Apricot nodded with a cold face.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I still have a little bit to hide, enough for us to eat for a few days."

The sick woman looked at her daughter in front of her reluctantly.

She understands that her illness cannot be cured.

Being alive now is a drag on my daughter.

"Xing'er, didn't Hongye take a fancy to you, you can go."

Hongye is an old widower in Nuer City.

I heard that when I was young, I traveled everywhere and saw a wide range of things.

Her daughter has a strong body that is not lost to men, and she was seen by Hongye by chance.

It's convenient to want to accept Xing'er as a disciple.

Xing'er took care of her body and refused.

But now, she doesn't want to drag her daughter down.

"Auntie, don't think about it, I don't want to go."

Xing'er said: "It's not early, I'll prepare a meal, Auntie, you can sleep more." ”

The sick woman lay down and looked at her daughter's departing back, her eyes wet.

Nuer City, once belonged to Jokhang.

It is one of the seven cities of North County.

Once upon a time, this place was not called Nuer City, but Shattered Wind City.

Later, it fell into the hands of the barbarians and took such a name.

The common people of the Seven Cities of Beijun are slaves in the eyes of the barbarians.

They come here at every turn to burn and plunder, like locusts passing through the border.

Later, the seven cities of Beijun were sent to Beili, and these ordinary people were still guarded against.

The surrounding officials and bandits also came to loot materials twice in three days.

In battle, men drive like cattle, regardless of the elderly and children.

As long as you can run and jump, you can't escape the fate of going to the battlefield.

And any woman who is a little beautiful is even more insecure.

The people of the Seven Cities have had a hard time in the past few decades.

Early the next morning.

Apricot habitually comes to serve her mother to wash.

After entering the door, the whole person was stunned.

Her mother was hanging from the beams.

"Ahh......h

Apricot opened her mouth, but it seemed to be grabbed by her neck and she couldn't move.

I don't know how long it took for her to rush forward in three steps and two steps.

"A-Niang, A-Niang......"

Apricot trembled and hugged her mother down.

Touching her cold body, the whole person was stunned.

So much so that I couldn't even shed tears.

She has a father and a brother.

It's just that my father and brother died on the battlefield in last year's battle.

Not a single copper plate of silver could be seen.

My mother's health is not good.

When he learned of the death of his father and brother, he fell ill directly.

Now.

The world is so big that it seems that she is the only one left.

Apricot Niang is gone.

The neighbors helped to deal with the funeral simply.

"Figured it out?"

Somewhere in the city of Nu'er.

Hongye quietly looked at the little girl in front of him.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were dull.

It's like the walking dead.

Apricot clenched her fists.

Gritted his teeth and said, "Figured it out." ”

"Poof!"

Apricot fell to her knees.

Kowtow to Hongye.

After a few strokes, the kowtow turned red.

A few more times, blood oozed from the kowtow.

Another knock knocked down, and his forehead touched something soft.

Hongye put his palm under her forehead.

Lift people up.

"Since you kowtowed, I will accept you."

Hong Ye said: "The chores of the family in the future will be handed over to you." ”

Apricot nodded.

It's just chores, she has a lot of strength, and she is used to doing it at home.

"Your strength is much greater than that of a man."

Hong Ye brought people to the main hall.

"It just so happens that I know some fist and foot kung fu, and the number of roads is more domineering, which is very suitable for you."

"You have been my heir from now on."

Apricot fell to her knees again.

"Master!"

Hongye nodded, "You have a good rest today, and we'll start tomorrow." ”

This night, Apricot almost survived with her eyes open.

Hongye got up and saw that the courtyard was clean.

The firewood in the corner is chopped.

The water tank is filled with water.

Apricot came out with her meal. "Master, it's time for dinner."

Her ability to act exceeded Hongye's expectations.

During the meal, Hongye looked at her.

"Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

Apricot pursed her lips.

"In order not to drag me down, my mother hanged herself on the beam of the house a few days ago."

"Master, I want to kill all those officials and bandits who oppress the people."

"They don't care about the death of our people, and I don't want to watch them live happily."

Feel the killing intent emanating from her.

Hong Ye didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's like this all over the world."

Hongye sighed: "They can even turn a blind eye to the suffering in front of them, let alone the life and death of ordinary people. ”

The master and apprentice had a meal.

Hongye took her to a room.

There are more than a dozen weapons inside.

"Try it!"

Hongye said.

Apricot stepped forward and looked at the weapons.

Pick up a sword first.

Wave it twice and set aside.

After some selection.

Hong Ye was a little undecided.

"Are you sure?"

Hong Ye looked at the long lance in the little girl's hand, which was a little complicated.

This lance is about three meters long and belongs to the heavy weapon.

It's also suitable for this girl.

After all, her strength is equivalent to about two or three times that of an adult man.

Apricot thought it was good.

Looking at Master's eyes, he was a little uncertain.

She hesitated, choosing the two sledgehammers next to her.

Hongye: "......"

He exhaled lightly and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Apricot turned the two weapons upside down.

Said: "Master, I choose this." ”

She wielded the two sledgehammers in her hands.

More weight than a lance.

It feels safe to hold in your hand.

Hongye: "It's up to you!" ”

Xing'er is learning martial arts and is willing to work hard.

Almost to the death.

Halfway through, Hongye wanted to teach her how to learn calligraphy.

I found that this girl didn't open her mind at all, but her name was taught for half a month.

Hongye has mixed feelings.

He wants to train this girl to become a general.

As a result, she is using soldiers to plan together, and she has no talent.

In this way, she can only become a sharp weapon, a tool that is held in the hands of others.

Tell Apricot about some preset futures.

She was silent for a long time.

"Master, I don't care, as long as I can kill these beasts, I can." ”

She hated it.

Hates those who are officials, why do you treat the people of Nuer City like this.

They were already living a hard life.

Don't expect those dog officials to treat them well, or at least don't come to burn and plunder.
