In the hinterland of the Central Plains, there is a dynasty with the name of dust.

The original owner of the body was surnamed Yue, named Yue Jing, and he was twenty and five years old. His father, Yue Ye, was officially named General Pingnan, and was given the title of Marquis of Qingyuan, which was hereditary. There is a brother Yue Jia, who is ten years older, and is now the capital of Pingnan Daying. Because his brother has not been officially canonized, everyone still usually refers to him as the little marquis.

The dust dynasty was founded less than 100 years, the ancestors started a business in the troubled times, passed to the fourth generation, and after ascending the throne, the year name Qingyun, known as Qingyun Emperor in history.

When Emperor Qingyun was ten years old, he relied on the power of his maternal clan to succeed to the throne, which led to the great power of the Hou Party, and when he became an adult, he worked hard to cultivate his own power, and the Marquis of Qingyuan was the backbone.

The father of Yue Ye, the Marquis of Qingyuan, is the king of Huinan County, and the king with a different surname is not hereditary, he has long passed away, and Yue Ye's title and official position are all based on his martial arts.

Because the Chen Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, there are countries around it, the Heng Dynasty in the north, the Jing Dynasty in the south, the foreign country name Daqi in the west, and the country in the east calls itself the Wenhui Empire.

The borders around are unstable, the wars stop from time to time, and there are often large and small wars, so the dust dynasty established the country by force, and most of the pro-kingdom princes took turns to lead the army to guard the border, but the south was stationed at the border by the marquis of Qingyuan for a long time.

The dust dynasty set the capital of Zhongping Ancient City. Due to the frequent foreign wars, the court seems to be quite calm, everything is based on defending the territory and opening up the territory, but there is actually an undercurrent surging inside, and the forces of the Hou Party, the Imperial Party, and the centrist faction in various ministries and counties are intertwined and restrain each other.

After many years of war, the treasury has been emptied, and there are signs of chaos in the rule of officials, only because the dust dynasty has a large number of people and rich products, and the decline can only be known by the high-level, and on the surface it is still a situation of singing and dancing.

Another characteristic is that the establishment of the country by force has caused most of the major factions in the rivers and lakes to be snare by various forces, which has become one of the important weights in wrestling.

The Marquis of Qingyuan has always been known for its harmony, and the Marquis of Yue and his son Yue Jia have been stationed abroad for a long time to guard the border passes, but Yue Jing is not in the same difficult situation as many sons of other princely families. Although his biological mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, the Hou Ye couple and his eldest brother Yue Jia treated him very well, and it can even be said that he was spoiled.

Recently, a major event occurred that shook the government and the opposition, that is, when the Marquis of Yue Ye entered Beijing for a routine job, as soon as he entered the capital and did not return to the Hou Mansion, he was locked and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, accused of betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy, and the evidence of the crime was a letter.

There was a big uproar up and down the whole court.

Everyone knows that the Marquis of Qingyuan has always been regarded by Emperor Qingyun as his right-hand man, the minister of the humerus, and the mainstay of the imperial party.

What's even more strange is that in addition to arresting people, blocking the Hou Mansion, and detaining the whereabouts of the little Marquis Yue Jia and the second son Yue Jing in the Pingnan camp, no one else has been involved for the time being, and even Yue Ye has only been taken into custody, and no relevant functions such as the military department and the criminal department have been appointed to interrogate and convict, and there is no news of who will take over the Pingnan camp.

Although there have been no major wars in various places recently, this move is still very puzzling, and the Manchu and military forces have been discussing a lot, jumping up and down to find out the news, but they are not convinced. Due to the suddenness of the incident, rumors are now rife among the people, and it is rumored that the four surrounding countries have also received secret reports, and they are all ready to act at an opportunity.

Dark clouds shrouded the capital for a while, and all forces were secretly speculating about the holy will, stepping up contact and communication in private, waiting to see when the next move of the imperial family and the queen party would come out, so as to respond in time to this major event affecting the pattern of the court.

On the afternoon of the day of the incident, Yue Jing was reading in the study of the Hou Mansion, and he personally accompanied Zhu Chongba and the guard Zhu Jiaoqi to run in and pull him into a secret passage, saying that the Hou Ye was arrested, and the Imperial Forest Army was taking people from the Fengfu, and the main mother Cai ordered them to take Yue Jing away immediately.

The three of them passed through a long tunnel, and the exit was in a small mountain village outside the city, and after coming out, Zhu Chongba led five horses, and the three of them immediately hurried, and after changing horses and riding for a night, they converged in an unknown place, the secret power of the Hou Ye, the Dark Moon Guard.

Fifty people galloped non-stop, and after successfully passing through a pass, they were somehow intercepted and chased by nearly 100 people from the nearby Phantom Gun Gate, and the Dark Moon Guard fought bloodily all the way, constantly reducing his personnel, until he came to the border through the drawbridge to protect him from several rounds of attacks.

This is the case with the main line, Hua Lanting then carefully combed through all the details of Yue Jing's memory in his mind and kept it in his heart. Despite the mysteries that remain unsolved, he finally has a basic understanding of the world and the ins and outs of his identity.

He then opened the piece of paper that Zhu Chongba had given him, and on it was a rudimentary map and some textual descriptions, which appeared to be the address and connector code of a treasure vault.

At this point, President Hua Lan took a long breath of turbid air, and the lack of aura in this world was turbid, which made him very uncomfortable when he was used to the air of Shuxuan Immortal Continent.

He weighed his cultivation, and sure enough, as Mu Qiwei said, it had decreased a lot, probably when he was about to break through the second vein of Ren Du and break through to the One Yuan Complex Realm, but all the martial arts were still there.

Zhu Chongba said that Lin Juju was the number one master of the Skillful Industry Department of the Heavenly Industry Bureau, and according to his level of ability to easily kill Lin Juju and his judgment of the Phantom Spear Sect Master, the Three Evils of the Trick Knife and the Dark Moon Guard's martial arts, after he and his physical body were fused, the level of force in this world was more than self-preservation, but he didn't know how to compare with the top masters.

He looked around, and there were two paths in front of him. As far as we know, this is located at the junction of the Dust Dynasty and the Great Qi Kingdom, one road can lead to the south of the Dust Dynasty along the border, and the other road is the road to the Great Qi Kingdom, where to go?

It would be nice if Lin Xian was shocked here, he was very skilled in Wen Taowu and could make a decision, but now he can only rely on himself to decide what to do.

The nominal eldest brother Yue Jia is currently in the Pingnan camp and his own fortune is unknown, although the two can join forces if he defects to him, but he is not familiar with military affairs, and the Pingnan camp should be the power of the Marquis of Qingyuan, and he may not be able to help a lot if he goes.

And the meaning of this map should be to let yourself get in touch with the hidden power and get the treasure, as a basis for future actions, whether it is Zhaoxue to clear the grievances or to oppose the dust dynasty, people and wealth are indispensable, then it is better to go to the Great Ambiguity Country.

As for hiding and living with fate, Hua Lanting didn't think much about it, since it was an experience, he couldn't hide like a turtle, he had to do something.

Although he doesn't have any sense of belonging to this world at the moment, even for the sake of avenging the dead Darkmoon Guardian, he has to break through and play his role in this setting that seems to involve family and country feuds.

After calculating, he found a mountain stream to wash, sorted out his clothes, hid the flying claws, packed up the hidden weapons he collected on the next road, carried a heavy sword, and walked along the road to the Great Qi Country.

Now, he is Yue Jing, the second son of the Marquis of Qingyuan of the Dust Dynasty, who fled to Daqi, under the pseudonym Hua Lanting.

After walking for half a day, after crossing the plain, a river appeared in front of me, with a stone bridge on it, and a city surrounded by mountains on the other side of the river. Before Hualan Ting boarded the bridge and crossed the river to the city gate, there were three words engraved on the city gate: Hug Wan City.

Entering the city gate, the city is not big but it is very noisy, people come and go endlessly, all kinds of people and so on, there are high-nosed and deep-eyed Hu people, there are Mongolians wearing leather clothes and showing chest hair, there are other foreign people wearing earrings and nose rings, there are also Han people, there are not a few people who hold swords, and the people are fierce when they look at it.

Hua Lanting was not surprised. According to Yue Jing's memory, the Xiongnu, Jurchen, Uighur, Dangxiang, Mongol and other ethnic groups and Han people lived together in Daqi, among which the Xiongnu were powerful and achieved a dominant position, and the royal court was located in the capital city of Daqi.

Although the Xiongnu relied on force to suppress the other ethnic groups to establish the country, but the other ethnic groups are different from their races and beliefs, it is difficult to live in peace, and there are often fights, which is why the Daqi, which is almost all soldiers, has always fought with the neighboring Dust Dynasty, and has won and lost each other, but it is always impossible to continue to advance eastward.

Hua Lan Ting walked forward, planning to pass through the city.

In the afternoon, he came to a temple, the plaque at the door of the Yuanjue Temple four words, I heard the pedestrians say that it is a newly built temple, the temple monk seems to have some relationship with the city lord.

He hadn't seen a Buddhist temple since the first crossing, and now he was in a state of interest, pacing to the mountain gate and thinking about going in to have a look.

There was an old man begging with a girl at the door. Both of them are shabby and gray-faced, only although the girl has gray marks on her face, it is difficult to hide the fairness and pink of her skin and the dark and agile eyes of her eyes.

Hua Lanting was about to climb the stairs, and there was a shout behind him: "Get out of the way, hurry up and get out of the way for me, the city lord and his wife will go to Yuanjue Temple to pray for blessings, and the idle people will make way!"

Hua Lanting flashed to the side, only to see dozens of armored soldiers walking over with two sedan chairs. As soon as the sedan pole fell, the first to come out was a fat man in an official uniform, with a fat head and big ears, and a round and short thick man, followed by a middle-aged woman with a pink face and a pearled hair.

Hua Lanting quietly asked the passer-by next to him: "Brother, take a chance, why is the city lord a Han?"

Passerby B behind passerby A hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Little brother is from outside, don't you know, this place Daqi and the Dust Dynasty have fought several times. In the latest war, Zhou Papi, who was the garrison of the Dust Dynasty, was the old man of the famous Zhou Qingfeng, who turned against the water and threw himself into the Great Ambition, and slaughtered the city with the Hun soldiers, so he was rewarded with the position of the city lord. This person is extremely greedy for money, and he is nicknamed Zhou Papi. ”

Passerby A poked him and said, "If you don't say a few words, it's a long life." ”

At this time, a few monks came out of the temple gate, the first person was dressed in a big red robe, his brain was full of fat, his face was shiny, his temples on both sides were high and bulging, his hands were folded and he said with a smile: "Amitabha, the poor monk spends his life, greets the late, and looks at the lord of Zhou City, Haihan." ”

Du Shou and Zhou Papi, who have fat stomachs, rolled together like two leather balls with legs, and those who didn't know thought they were twin brothers.

Hua Lanting noticed that Zhou Qingfeng's eyes swept over the little girl who was begging, and then he secretly glanced at one of the guards beside him, and the guards understood, and after the people entered, the guards pointed at the two beggars with their hands and drank: "You two, sneakily snooping on the road that adults must pass, I suspect that you are spies of the Dust Dynasty, come here, take it first, and then go back and interrogate." ”

The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but say that they stepped forward to arrest people, and how could the old and the young struggle desperately be able to defeat the wolf-like soldiers and were caught in the temple.

No one dared to take care of the people around, and when Hua Lanting first arrived, he frowned, and he didn't have a seizure immediately.

After the city lord and his party all entered, Hua Lanting and other people who worshiped the Buddha were allowed to enter.

Hua Lanting went in to see, although the temple is small but all the organs are complete, he passed through the Tianwang Hall to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and was stopped at the door by the soldiers, inside the city lord and his wife are kneeling to worship the Bodhisattva, the city lord's wife also drew a lot after worshipping, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Good sign, good sign, although the dust is hard, the heart is always pure." This sentence comes from the Yuanjue Sutra, which shows that the city lord works hard for the country and the people, and his heart is clear and quiet, which is really related to my Buddha and the temple. ”

The two walked out as they spoke, and Hua Lanting was just about to wait for them to enter the main hall when he heard someone shouting above his head: "Kill the dog official Zhou Peel and avenge your relatives and the people!"

Hua Lanting looked up and saw that more than a dozen figures appeared on the top of the main hall, holding bows and arrows, and a round of arrows poured down.

Some of the officers and soldiers below were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and there was a moment of confusion, and some guards shouted: "There are assassins, protect your lordship!"

The assassin at the top of the palace was extremely skilled in archery, and did not hurt innocent people. At this time, the guards outside the temple gate began to rush in when they heard the sound, and the people at the top of the hall abandoned their bows and jumped down, eight or nine people went out to block the soldiers who came in outside, and the others went straight to Zhou Qingfeng, who was protected.

First, a strong man held a meteor chain hammer in each hand, and the dance was extremely powerful, and immediately two soldiers broke their hammer tendons and fell to the ground.

Zhou Qingfeng saw it and shouted: "Lu Mantian, it is you trapped in Longshan again, do you think I don't know that you will come? ”

At this time, the common people ran clean, and more and more people poured in.

On the innermost layer were Zhou Qingfeng, eight close guards, and six or seven assassins, and then on the outermost layer were Du Shou and two monks, as well as the two beggars who had been caught, as well as Hua Lanting, who was not in a hurry to avoid, and a man in a pock-faced strong suit, and on the outermost layer were eight or nine assassins and more than twenty soldiers.
