The water goes back and forth, and the wind does not stop. Mountains and rivers rise from the flat land and run through the flat land. Scorching sun, scorching sun, scorching sun. The earth burns with scorching. The chirping of the cangwu bird pierces the dense and dark stratus clouds before the rainstorm.

I'm Taiziwen. The most noble prince of the Izumi Water Country.

Born in the country of Wuzhou Quanze, he will also die in the land of Wuzhou Quanze.

But.

What is the meaning of life?

Why did man come into this world?

What do people live for?

I asked myself.

I asked the sky.

I ask you.

Does anyone know? Can anyone explain this to me?

I have lived seventeen years.

My mother died when I was born. Like a lonely and lonely cangwu, screaming and disappearing into the canopy of stratus clouds.

Are there spirits in this world?

Can spirits fall asleep?

If so.

Why did she never see me in my dreams?

Oh. I know.

My dreams are full of the appearance of this Izumizumi Palace. It's too lonely, cold and lonely.

Sycamore without leaves, frost all over the ground. Icy lake. The stones in the garden that are silent and never say a word.

This kind of lonely scenery in the deep palace of Quanze has been watched by my mother for more than ten years, and she is probably as tired of seeing it as I am.

Many years before she gave birth to me, my mother was also favored by my father. Later, his father had the prosperity of the harem full of courtyards, so he left his mother in the empty Wuxi Palace.

The bustling and colorful scenery suddenly dimmed. I only talk to myself in the mirror every day. Guarding the dressing table every day, waiting for an old acquaintance who will never come.

I sometimes pass by the place where my mother used to live, which has long since changed hands. Now the concubines who live there sing and dance for their father every day, and I don't know if my father can recall the gentle voice of his mother in the past in such prosperity.

I've only heard a few things about my mother in the stories of the nurse. I know that she likes lotus flowers in summer, likes to eat osmanthus cakes, often wears cyan in summer, and her posture is like a thin and straight green bamboo.

After my mother died, I was taken up by the queen who had nothing to do. She asked me to call her mother.

When I was a child, I asked the queen with hostility, but she put down her hand in her sideburns, looked at me, and said, "No, you killed your mother." She died in childbirth. ”

I killed my mother?

The life of a life persecuts a life to die a painful death.

So why call me born? Let me be born a murderer?

I hate myself.

The queen said. "But don't be afraid. From now on, I will be your mother, and you will be my precious king. I will be kind to you and help you to become the king of Izumi in the future. ”

"What's so good about a king?" I asked

"The king can give you supreme rights. Infinite money. Distinguished status. You can have what you want. The queen said.

"Really, I can have whatever I want?"

"Yes. What do you want?" said the Queen.

"I want my mother to come back to life. I said.

"Silly boy. This is the only thing that can't. ”

I cried. The queen is by my side. She looked at me indifferently and said, "A king is not allowed to weep."

The king must not weep.

Doesn't the king have anything he wants?

The queen took me into her arms. Say, "It is not permissible to cry alone."

She told me a lot of things.

All of this adds up. I don't see any good thing in being a king.

"You'll find out later". "You'll know when you're older." The Queen told me this countless times.

For countless nights, I cried in my dreams. I don't want my mother to die. Please give her back to me. If she hadn't begotten me, she wouldn't have died.

I hate myself.

I also hate this deceitful, ostensibly crowned political kingship, and the deep palace that looks gorgeous and kind, but blood flows behind it.

Someday, I'm going to escape.

But what am I going to do when I get out of here?

What am I looking for?

I seem aimless.

I'm 17 years old, and I'm about to get married. Envoys from various countries and nobles from Izumi Ze have sent many women to me, both openly and secretly.

Stunning appearance, plump figure, extremely prominent background. But I don't love the women in these political puppet shows.

They don't have fun.

I don't know about me.

Someday I'm going to get out of here.

Maybe like a free eagle soaring in the colorful sky outside. and died.

I do not know. Where is the end waiting for me. What is the end point.

But I managed to escape.

I took advantage of the grand gathering of the royal families of the five continents, dressed up as a dancing girl in the palace banquet, and mixed in with the ranks of singing and dancing entertainers to blend out of the palace.

I'm rebellious.

I don't love the hypocrisy of this kingship.

I don't love the hustle and bustle of this royal feast.

I don't love the status of the crown prince that my father gave me.

I don't love the queen who promised to give me the country to fight for in the future.

What do I love?

I do not know.

I'm going to go out into the world and see.

If known. I'm lucky.

If not. My life.

My mysterious disappearance made the Izumi royal family panic.

My father is looking for me, because I am his only son.

The queen is looking for me because I am her political support.

But I was determined not to go back.

They sought me, but they could not find me. I'm happy.

And my personal guard, Dumb, always follows me, and he is not only my bodyguard. He is also a person who has grown up with me since childhood, a person who practiced martial arts and swords with me, and promised to go through the rivers and lakes with me.

We are the two heroes.

Hold the sword and walk the rivers and lakes.

Ask the sky.

Ask the ground.

Ask the people.

The meaning of being alive.

We kill ghosts, corrupt officials, and wicked people.

I cried out with joy as I watched the wrongdoers rise and fall under my sword, and blood dripped down the blade.

It's a pleasure to be a murderous and righteous swordsman, living in other people's legends.

Give me a pot of wine, and lie down between heaven and earth.

I can live or die.

It's a pleasure. Just live a happy life.

"Prince, there are tears in your eyes. Dumb asked me.

"Is there any?" I choked. Tearful eyes looked at him. I don't admit it. This is not a tear, it is a heart that drips blood.

"Prince, why are you crying?" Dumb asked me.

"Why can't I shed tears. I asked him rhetorically.

"Oh, the prince can. I just thought that the prince was under one person, above ten thousand, with power and wealth, and everything. Now that the rangers are free, where can there be tears. Dumb said.

"I wept because I was happy. Hahaha!Come on, you and my brother keep drinking!" I continued to laugh, clink glasses with Dumb, and have a good drink.

I'm not going to tell a man what's on my mind. Face the world with only a hard shell.

I seem to have lived the way I wanted to be. But there is a place in my heart that cannot be filled. There is always a hollow in the heart, dark and cold.

Until.

She suddenly appeared in my life.

She is like a summer breeze, like a warm winter sun.

I don't know her if I don't fight.

She's a thief who stole my wife's love bell.

She was a thief and stole one of my hearts.

When I first saw her, I only thought she was beautiful.

It's not about how to amaze the beauty of all beings, but about the gentle, brilliant and mischievous beauty. The beauty is simple and pure. Her eyes have the starlight of 3,000 galaxies, and the romantic innocence that I can't forget.

She was like a newborn daisy, and as soon as it bloomed, I couldn't help but stop. Appreciate her elegance and virtuousness, a freshness and purity.

She is different from the woman next to her.

She doesn't need to be whitewashed, she is beautiful, delicate, fresh and bright.

She lit up a place in my heart.

It made me curious about her and wanted to find out where she came from and where she went.

She was born humble, but she was a commoner woman.

And I am the prince who is above ten thousand people under one person.

I told her, follow me.

If she wants to be quiet, I will accompany her to be quiet and far-reaching, and spend the years of fishing and singing

If she wants to be lively, I can give her an enviable phoenix crown, and give her the most powerful scenery and prosperity in the world.

If you can make her laugh, make her happy.

I want to be everything she wants to be.

Regardless of the indifferent hermit. or a king in conspiracy.

Only, she wants. She does.

But.

I could tell she already had someone she liked.

She said that she was born as a commoner woman in this life, but she was a fairy in her last life. In the fairy world, she owes the life of an old man. In this life, she will protect him. But unconsciously, he gradually fell in love with his old friend.

I asked her, what's so good about that person?

Her face was full of joy, and she said that he was very weak and ordinary now, but he was the husband she was looking for. She is willing to accompany him to build high-rise buildings on the flat land and build his own country.

I thought to myself. Oh, yes, but I can give you the country right now, but isn't that what you want?

I didn't tell her I had a heart for her.

I chose to stand by her side silently.

When she is in danger, I am always the first to appear.

When she is unhappy, she suffers misunderstanding and humiliation where she likes it. When she wept bitterly, when she couldn't find someone she could trust to cry about.

It was I who lent her shoulder. Let her lean on my shoulder and cry. Let her wave her tears, and let them wet the hem of my shoulder.

If she wishes, I can lend her my chest. Let her cry in my arms.

I'll hug her and tell her, it's okay, it's still me.

I'll pat her on the back, pinch her face, and tell her, silly girl, follow me in the future.

But I didn't.

I was lonely.

I didn't even pack my heart. How to clean up her heart.

After her thousand and one heartbreaks. She said, let's take a bird to travel the world, and suddenly we want to see the mountains and rivers in this world, so that we can live up to this life and fall into the mortal world! She said that this time, she will definitely put him down.
