Chapter 1 Children of the Imperial Family
Above the heavenly dome, the giant who stood proudly in the void casually plucked a purple gourd with seven gold stars on the surface from a large green ocean-like vine around him, and threw it casually towards the bustling human world.
At the same time, a gentle woman in another part of the void, slender jade pointed to the bamboo forest not far away, and a jasper-like green bamboo flashed into a jade flute, and then this jade flute slid from the sky with a pleasant sound.
Since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors and five emperors led the people to stand proudly in the world, the easternmost part of the Kyushu continent controlled by the Chinese, the Qi country near the East China Sea has been smooth for many years, and the relationship with the surrounding Wei State, Jin State and Chu State is very friendly, so it has become the richest country in the Kyushu continent on the coast of the East China Sea.
This year, due to the large-scale wars that broke out in Zhao and Wei for many years, a plague raged on the borders of Zhao, Wei and Jin, and countless refugees on the borders of the three countries began to flock to Qi in the East China Sea and Chu in southern Xinjiang, among which the number of refugees going to Qi was the largest.
On the post road on the border of Zhao Wei and Qi, there was an endless stream of refugees fleeing to escape the plague, and the sad cries were endless, and this tragic voice rippled in the sky above the post road.
At noon, an elite group of black-armored cavalry marched rapidly from east to west surrounded by three magnificent carriages. As refugees blocked the post road, the team chose to move along the field near the post road.
As a wide river appeared in front of the group, a man with a high crown left the group, looked at the bridge in the distance, which was already occupied by refugees, turned his horse's head and galloped towards a carriage led by him.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the bridge that crosses the Yellow River in front has been blocked by refugees, and it is difficult for our convoy to pass, do you see if we are waiting for the ferry by the river, or heading for the ferry upstream!"
As the door of the luxurious carriage opened, a beautiful princess wearing a phoenix crown, a light veil, and a silk brocade dress appeared in the door, and only heard the princess say in a pleasant voice:
"General Meng, I heard that there is a scenic lake and mountain town nearby, let's go there for a while for a while!"
"The last general obeys!"
General Meng's resolute face was a hint of tiredness, his eyes were slightly red, and he watched the door of the magnificent carriage in which the princess was riding close, and without hesitation, he rode to the front of the team that had stopped advancing, and soon came to the adjutant general's horse.
"Vice General Wang, Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered me to stay in Hushan Town temporarily!"
General Wang, who was wearing black armor, looked at his boss, and his nervous face couldn't help but relax a lot:
"General Meng, temporarily living in Hushan Town, this is really good news for us, brothers can finally take a rest!"
"Well, it's good news, but you have to tell your brothers not to be careless, this is the junction of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Jin, and it has always been a place where bandits are serious, don't be negligent, first send a team to the front to open the way!"
"Yes, General Meng!"
The speeding convoy quickly broke away from the view of the fleeing crowd and galloped west along the Yellow River. At ten o'clock in the evening, the convoy, which consisted mainly of elite cavalry, came to the vicinity of a verdant mountain. To the south of this high mountain is a large lake, and fishing boats are sailing back at the moment.
When it was completely dark, the convoy finally arrived at its temporary destination, a densely populated town - Hushan Town, which got its name because of its proximity to the abundant Qiushui Lake and the abundant Cuiping Mountain.
The black-armored cavalry surrounded three luxurious carriages and finally stopped in front of a mountain villa with hundreds of acres of battlefield, and a row of lanterns hanging high at the entrance of the villa had a red king character written on it, and by the bright light of the lanterns, it was imprinted with a plaque with a simple and majestic atmosphere - Qinglong Villa.
Soon the tall gate of Qinglong Villa was fully opened, and the group hurriedly walked out, led by an old man with a gray beard, wearing a brocade robe, and a rather noble bearing.
The old man led his family to the three magnificent carriages and bowed down, and shouted:
"The old minister Wang Tianlong welcomes Her Royal Highness Princess Linglong, Her Royal Highness the Prince, and the Prince's Side Concubine!"
Of the three carriages, only the carriage, which had been opened once during the day, opened the door, and then the veiled Princess Linglong responded:
"Old Aiqing, hurry up and get even!"
Wang Tianlong took his family members to bow respectfully three times before they all got up, and the old farmer hurriedly waved his hand to a few people behind him, and said:
"Welcome to the village to rest!"
The three carriages were still surrounded by the black-armored cavalry and slowly advanced towards the backyard of Qinglong Villa, and most of the black-armored cavalry followed the carriage to one of the courtyards in the backyard of Qinglong Villa, and then dispersed to carefully inspect the courtyard inside and out, and the three carriages that Princess Linglong and others rode slowly walked into the courtyard.
Except for General Meng, who dismounted with more than ten black-armored cavalry and walked into the courtyard with the carriage, the rest of the black-armored cavalry guarded the entire courtyard under the leadership of Deputy General Wang and two other captains.
The three carriages stopped in front of the hall in the middle of the courtyard, and first several women dressed as palace maids stepped out of the carriage, only to see two of them take out red brocade from the carriage door to the main hall, the other two were responsible for placing the steps at the carriage door, and then the rest of the palace maids helped their respective masters out of the carriage.
In the first carriage, Princess Linglong led a four or five-year-old boy with a very cute appearance and walked out of the carriage; in the second carriage walked out a woman with a phoenix crown and a veil; in the last carriage, first a large number of bottles and cans were taken out, and then a lot of brocade bedding was taken out, and finally an old woman with a very ugly face came out.
The old woman had a very ordinary silver hairpin pinned to her hair, and she walked a little tremblingly, and when she stepped out of the carriage, she did not follow Princess Linglong into the hall, but kept changing her gestures with both hands, and at the same time chanting words in her mouth.
After a while, several silver rays of light flew out of her hand, and these silver rays of light finally fell along the entire courtyard. The two palace maids did not dare to look at the old woman in a big way, and they were relieved until the old woman finished her practice, and then followed the old woman into the hall in the courtyard.
In the hall, Princess Linglong and her two palace maids, as well as General Meng, were talking about something, but the cute little boy and the woman with the phoenix crown were gone.
Princess Linglong saw the old woman walking into the hall, hurriedly stopped talking to General Meng, and watched the old woman walk up to her before speaking:
"Grandma, thank you for your hard work!"
"Linglong, how long are you going to live here?
The old woman looked at Princess Linglong, with a rare smile on her face, General Meng nodded to the old woman, and then walked out of the hall quickly, while Princess Linglong stepped forward, pulled the old woman's sleeve, and said a little coquettishly:
"Grandma, Linglong wants to stay here for a few more days, stay in the palace all day, it's almost suffocating!"
"You girl, when have you been honest in the palace!" the old woman looked at Princess Linglong, who looked eagerly, and finally relented:
"Well, for the sake of your always well-behaved girl, I'll let you stay here for a while!"
When Princess Linglong heard the old woman's words, her face was filled with a happy expression, and she held the old woman's arm more kindly. As the group officially settled in Qinglong Villa, this usually deserted mountain villa was a little more noisy, but no one expected that an imminent crisis had begun to attack them.
