"Five years ago, Jinling City suffered an accident, and hundreds of monks shouted in front of the Jinling City Gate, and there was a tendency to attack the city. My father took the eldest brother, second brother, and third sister out of the city to resist, but no one expected that the group of livestock would kill all the direct lineages of my Yan family.

"At that time, I was studying in the Jixia School Palace in Luoyang, and I was going to cultivate until I was twenty-two years old. But after this incident, the Yan family has no owner except me, as soon as I got the news, I rushed back to Jinling to mourn at night, and succeeded to the position of city lord by the way......"

Yan Jingchen told Gongsun Shitong about the cause of the incident in 1510. On the way to Yanfu, many people greeted Yan Jingchen warmly, although Yan Jingchen would also respond eagerly, but it was difficult to hide the sadness in his eyes.

"Your father and brother would be very happy to see such a prosperous Jinling City. Gongsun Shitong comforted.

Luo Feiyu listened silently to the conversation between the two on the side, listening all the way. Along the way, Yan Jingchen didn't seem to take into account that he was an outsider, and he didn't shy away from suspicion in front of him, a person who had nothing to do with the matter, and told Gongsun Shitong the ins and outs of the future.

Maybe it was what I said in the deep alley......

Thinking of this, the corners of Luo Feiyu's mouth showed a knowing sneer.

The words were speculative, and before I knew it, I had walked to the front of the steps of Yanfu.

Yanfu, that is, the imperial city of the past. Looking at Qin Huai from afar, the surface is majestic and magnificent, but it is full of devastation, and after the self-said mansion took over the imperial city as the mansion, it is no longer in the cultivation, and it has been eroded by the years into such a state. Although the style of the imperial city is no longer there, you can still see a little bit of the unparalleled grandeur of the past. The yellow dragon teng cloud pattern representing the emperor that was originally printed on the wall was also cut off early, and the new seal was engraved with a five-petal plum blossom pattern representing the Yan family.

If other families dared to build a mansion in the imperial city, it would be a big crime to punish the nine clans and even the vassals of the side branches. As far as home is concerned, it is one of the families that is not one of the most families that can live in the imperial city.

In the past, the imperial capital changed, moving from Luoyang to Chang'an, then from Chang'an to Jinling, and then back to Luoyang. When Jinling was the capital, the whole country lived and worked in peace and contentment, there was no hunger and cold, and the economy and trade reached its peak. There is no need to worry about external troubles, and every year they pay tribute to the court, and Xu I surrenders. But after all, Jinling is the city of wind and moon, painting boats, singing buildings, lights and shadows, and countless beauties lead the emperor to bend the waist of the powerful and talented.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. Later, gold and silver jewelry alone could no longer please beauties. In order to win the favor of the beauties, the imperial court did not hesitate to bully the Jianghu sect and loot the spiritual treasures in the sect. And some stubborn old masters were unwilling to hand it over, and the court even set fire to the mountains and slaughtered all over the house.

Seeing that the treasures of those town factions were reduced to mortal things in the midst of that group of disasters, the once-famous sect turned into a sea of mourning corpses and blood under the golden gun of the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes were filled with righteous indignation, and they were angry and reconciled.

At that time, in the territory of the country, the soldiers and generals used their own blood to witness the "strange tricks" of many sects. In their impression, the moves that were "charlatans" crushed them. Overnight, the sun and the moon changed, and the river flowed back.

When the people in the rivers and lakes approached the capital of the Jinling Emperor, most of the dragon qi had been extinguished, and the emperor who was cowering in the corner of Jiangyue Tower with the gold and silver concubines only thought about how to escape for his life, and did not intend to resist. When the imperial city was about to be crumbling, a lion with a five-petal plum blossom flag arrived and repelled the attack of the Jianghu people. The contemporary head of the Yan family defeated three martial arts masters with three swords, avoiding the tragedy of the Qinhuai River being stained red with blood, saving Jinling from peril, and making the Yan family fall into the nickname of "Three Swords of Twilight".

In addition, the Yan family recovered a small part of the lost territory and escorted the emperor to move the capital to Luoyang.

Since then, the Yanfu in Jiangdong became famous in the first war, accepted the emperor's canonization, fiefdom Jinling, and named the "Dusk Huai King", with the former imperial city as the residence, eternal life.

However, after this "battle against the sky", the dragon spirit of the imperial court has decreased sharply, and the talents of the rivers and lakes have come out in large numbers, and they have the strength to compete with the imperial court. The court has been unable to suppress the people of the rivers and lakes, and has set foot in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes have been in the rivers and lakes, and the court has concluded the affairs of the courts, and the well water does not violate the river water, until today.

Yanjia ancestral hall.

The candle flame swayed gently, and the sandalwood curled up, bringing some warmth to the ancestral hall of Sensen. More than a dozen plaques engraved with "chivalrous bones last forever", "twilight Huai lingering incense", "less words and more deeds" are hung in the main hall, all of which are given by the emperor and marquis, highlighting the fame and glory that the Yan family has won since entering Jinling.

After Yan Jingchen burned a pillar of high incense in front of the heads of the family, he took Gongsun Shiyun to bypass the main hall dedicated to the former head of the Yan family and came to the side hall.

The side hall is dedicated to the people who have direct blood relatives with the Yan family in addition to the head of the family, and the two deceased brothers and one sister in Yan Jingchen's mouth are all here.

As soon as Gongsun Shitong stepped into this room, she raised her eyes and swept away, and finally saw the tombstone she had in mind in a corner.

- "The daughter of the fifth-generation head of the family, the tomb of Yan Xuewei." ”

The candle in front of the stele is like blood, and the fire is bright, but there is no incense ash in the small incense ding, and there is no incense that is burning. Gongsun Shitong glanced down from all the small incense dings, but there was no incense in front of Yan Xuewei's tomb.

"Recently, I have been busy with affairs, and the matter of offering incense to my sister has been delayed. Yan Jingchen saw Gongsun Shitong's doubts and explained.

"Then this time, let me do it. Gongsun Shitong sighed and twisted out three purple incense sticks from the incense tube, "After all, she has also helped me, and she is one of my rare confidants." ”

"Use this incense. Yan Jingchen stretched out his white palm to Gongsun Shitong and handed out an object.

Gongsun Shitong turned his eyes and saw that there were three incense sticks with red on the surface. After reaching out to take it, she looked at Yan Jingchen in puzzlement: "Hongxiang?

Yan Jingchen nodded lightly, did not answer, but took out three red incense sticks by himself, and after lighting the incense with internal force, he took the lead in kneeling down on the futon.

Gongsun Shiyun looked at Yan Jingchen's side face in the curling incense. For a moment, she felt that it was Yan Xuewei who was kneeling here, and their sister and brother were too similar.

After a long time, Gongsun Shitongfang smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed in his heart: "Si people are gone, why worry about ......"

After all, it was a matter of sacrifice, and Luo Feiyu and the Yan family did not know anyone in the family, so they did not enter the ancestral hall with Gongsun Shitong, and wandered around outside the ancestral hall alone.

After a few wanderings, it was noon, and the hunger was unbearable, so he came to the gate of the ancestral hall to wait for the two.

His eyesight is excellent, and he is bored waiting in front of the door, so he looked towards the ancestral hall, and after seeing those plaques, Luo Feiyu put on an exaggerated expression of "Wow, so good": "It's actually the 'straight plaque' of the emperor's imperial seal." Speaking of which, this Yan family is also a famous family that makes swords outstanding, but he has to rely on the court to eat and wait for death, and he has to be restrained all day long, why not enter the rivers and lakes to form his own faction and end up at ease. ”

Turning his gaze to the five plaques. The plaque is from left to right, and it is the five city lords since the Yan family entered Jinling.

Luo Feiyu watched casually, but his gaze suddenly fixed in front of the fifth plaque and never moved away.

The candles in front of the rest of the plaques are all white, except for the candle in front of the fifth plaque, which is red.

The candle was as colored as blood, and blood-red candle tears fell......
