During the period of Emperor Wu, the Great Zhou Dynasty was strong and ruled the world with martial arts.

Under Zi Weixing's iron-fisted politics, the Northern Barbarians fled to the royal court, and the Western Regions bowed down to the court.

Therefore, through this relationship, the Western Regions often interacted with the Great Zhou, and there was an endless stream of merchants, travelers, chariots and horses. The Han people yearn for the outside world, while the people of the Western Regions yearn for the prosperity of the Great Zhou.

Savvy merchants from the Western Regions saw a wonderful business opportunity, bringing in exquisite jewelry, silk, wine and other special items to sell at very high prices in Zhoudi, and the most popular place for merchants was Tai'an.

However, such pure luxury things are often only bought by the dignitaries of Kyoto, in order to show their status, and ordinary people will never touch them, after all, such things outside the body, whether they have or not, have little impact.

And only one of the goods transported from the Western Regions for sale, from the prince's ministers to the peddlers' pawns, no one is eager for it, and even dreams of it.

That kind of thing is a slave.

The slave merchants dressed their goods in tattered cloth, branded them with fiery red, bound their necks, hands and feet with iron chains, locked them in cages in large numbers, and transported them to the land of the Great Zhou in horse-drawn carts. With a few exceptions, there were many emaciated people who had fallen on the way to Da Zhou, and some who tried to flee at night and also died on the way.

But the slave owners were full of indifference, they had the ethics of merchants, and such bad goods should have been eliminated, how could they be sold to distinguished customers, and it would be troublesome to die.

Merchants also don't have feelings for their own goods, it's just a normal thing.

The remaining slaves, who were physically strong and obedient, were naturally very popular, and the nobles of the Great Zhou competed for bids, and these high-nosed and bearded traders from the Western Regions were happy to close their mouths.

Male slaves would be bought as coolies, or used for some special fetishes, while female slaves were the most valued commodities by merchants, and they would be carefully taken care of at the slightest appearance, and then trained to obey their masters, and to serve their masters like cats.

The women of the Western Regions have a different style than the Han women, most of them are tall and angry, and they are more blonde and blue-eyed. Even those poor men at the bottom will try their best to scrape together the money to ask a woman from the Western Regions to come back, not to mention those extravagant aristocrats.

And this kind of atmosphere was gradually suppressed under the rule of Emperor Wen.

First, due to the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the national strength was no longer what it used to be, and the status between the Han people and the people of the Western Regions had undergone a subtle change, and the voice of opposition within the Western Regions was increasing; second, Wei Shengzhao was not accustomed to such behavior, and intentionally or unintentionally increased the tariffs of the merchants of the Western Regions, making them miserable.

Even so, the slave trade was much less, but this kind of thing still could not be eliminated, but because of the scarcity, it aroused the desire in people's hearts even more, and once it appeared, it was a gust of gold and silver.

This is how the Qingyu case came to Tai'an.

She was originally a dead princess of a country in the Western Regions, but after being exiled, she finally fell into the hands of slave traders.

The bearded merchant with the felt hat had a shrewd eye, and seeing that although she was young, she was already extraordinary, and there was no doubt that she was a complete beauty, so he sent someone to take good care of her, and finally brought her to Tai'an.

And the Qingyu case has also become the finale of their issue.

Needless to say, the price of such commodities is unknown, ordinary officials and ordinary people have no way of knowing, and it is natural that she can see some princes and nobles, and powerful people in the rivers and lakes.

From the moment Qingyu's case fell into the hands of the slave owner, her heart was already dead.

She knew what was going to happen to her, and although she tried desperately to resist, it was still in vain, and eventually, she began to face everything in front of her.

What kind of national hatred, family hatred, princess body, what is the meaning of these?

A teenage girl can't do anything.

She was imprisoned in a cage, dressed in tattered clothes, her snowy skin unobstructed, and her eyes were blank, staring indifferently at the men below her who radiated primal desire, as if she were looking at an ugly pig.

In the end, she heard a sky-high price.

She closed her eyes in despair, and the corners of her eyes also slipped the last tear of this life.

She was led away by a middle-aged man with a calm face, but the destination they went to was a little different from what Qingyu had thought.

It was not a palatial mansion, nor a grand palace, nor an ordinary adobe house.

It was a dark underground palace.

The middle-aged man handed her into the hands of a man dressed in black and instructed, "This is a good seedling, don't waste it."

Qingyu still remembers that the people in the palace called the middle-aged man "the master of the door", and after that, she never saw him again.

Then her original name was replaced by a new nickname, called Qingyu Case.

When Qingyu Case was learning musical instruments, he had heard his erudite father say in the palace that Qingyu Case was a thing that the Central Plains people called "words", which was similar to their music in the Western Regions.

She had also heard that in the martial arts of the Central Plains, there was a mysterious assassin organization, and the assassins under their door all used three-character word cards for the people, and this organization was called Yulin Ling.

Qingyu was taken to a small, dimly lit room, where there were seven or eight other people as scruffy as her, the eldest fifteen, and the youngest not even ten years old.

She stared blankly at the children, and they cast a look at her at the same time.

Just like the eyes of the Qingyu case when he looked at the pigs, it was an empty indifference.

Later she learned that in that house, only one person could survive.

Although the Qingyu case is young, she has already experienced the weak and the strong in the world, she has experienced the bloody rain, the destruction of the family, and the humiliation of losing the country.

She felt like she was emotionless for a long time.

Qingyu became a D-class assassin, her boss was a C-class assassin, and above that, there was B, there were only four people in total, and above that was A.

She could guess that the first person should be the owner of Yulinling.

Qingyu held the short dagger in her hand and suddenly wanted to do something.

She wanted to see him.

If it weren't for the master, I don't know what he has become at this moment, maybe he would have been toyed to death by those pigs, or maybe it would still be the goods they discarded after playing and reselling them to give away.

She had imagined her fate, and if that was the case, she would rather die than let others defile her, and she at least had a shred of dignity to speak of.

Therefore, the master of the door can be regarded as saving his own life.

She also learned to hold a knife, learned to kill, and learned how to use the advantages of a woman. So she thought like this, maybe if she climbed up again, one day, she would be able to meet the master, and one day, she would swing her knife and kill back to the Western Regions.

In order to achieve her goal, what she needs is strength.

In this world, only strength is the true meaning, whether it is her own power or the power of others, everything can be used by her.

Eventually, she became a B and met the master as she wished.

The strength of the door master was unfathomable, Qingyu stood in front of him, she couldn't even raise her head, she clearly remembered that she once dared to look him in the eyes.

Perhaps, people will change eventually.

The master of the door is very strong, but that is far from enough, Qingyu knows that in this river and lake, there is a person who is far stronger than him, and that is the person who is called Taiji.

And in this piece of rivers and lakes, there is also a sect that is far stronger than their Yulin Ling, and that sect is called Tianxin Sect.

Later, somehow, the sect master of the Tianxin Sect suddenly began to trouble them with Yulin Ling, and frequently intervened to obstruct the assassins of Yulin Ling, which finally provoked the anger of the people behind Yulin Ling.

In this world, no one should despise Yu Linling so much, whether you are the sect master of Tianxin Sect or Tai Chi, if you provoke Yu Linling, you will have to pay the price, this is their discipleship.

But Qingyu didn't dare to take over the task of assassinating Liu Wanli, and at the moment of the great enemy, she finally found that she was not without feelings, and she was still afraid of death, and doing so was no different from seeking death.

She doesn't want to die yet, she has a long way to go, and she still has a lot to do.

The result is obvious, the Qingyu case can also be expected, Yu Linling has paid a heavy price, and there is still no way to take Liu Wanli, since then the vitality has been greatly damaged, the owner of the door has gone into hiding, and the people behind the scenes have also suffered great changes, and Yu Linling has reluctantly disbanded.

The dissolution is temporary, and one day, Yulin Ling will return to its former glory.

These were the last words that the people behind the scenes told them when they left, and since that day, Qingyu has been alone in the rivers and lakes, and even took the time to go back to the Western Regions, found the slave owner who had captured her, humiliated him severely, and finally ended his life with a single sword.

She looked indifferently at the already fat beard that was not human, felt the blood gushing out of his neck, licked his blood-colored lips, and felt a trace of inexplicable pleasure in her heart.

It's nice to have the power to do a lot of things that you couldn't do before.

People, as they should be.

Kyoto suffered a great change, and overnight, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Sikong clan returned to power.

After hearing the news, Qingyu wrapped her trench coat tightly, carefully wiped and wiped the dagger that had followed her for ten years, and finally solemnly put it away.

She knew that Yu Linling was about to come out again.

But to her surprise, the owner of the door was unwilling to return to his old business, and he intended to wash his hands.

Qingyu's case was a little disappointed, but it wasn't anything, anyway, her purpose was just to see someone.

The person who killed the Heavenly Machine with his own hands, the greedy wolf, one of the three fierce stars, and the Great Venerable of the Heavenly Heart Sect, King Fudo Ming.

That's absolute power.

Bang!

At this moment, her companion fell, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but the black-robed man did not seem to take his life, and the immovable king also slashed his sword in front of her at the same time.

At this moment, Qingyu didn't have the slightest fear in her heart, but almost collapsed with excitement, her eyes were full of fanaticism, she just raised her head, stared at the immovable Ming King, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, but it felt good.

I only heard the black-robed man say lightly: "Surrender to me, or die." ”

And the results speak for themselves.
