The world is huge, with four continents: Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, as well as countless overseas islands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, the Qinglong Continent is the most powerful place in the world. However, since two or three hundred years ago, when the Great Qin Dynasty, which had ruled the Qinglong Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, came to an end and Great Xia took its place, the Qinglong Continent had irrepressibly begun to decline.

Since Emperor Jingjia ascended the throne more than ten years ago, because of his mediocrity and low cultivation, the Empress Dowager has taken sole control, and the authority of the Li royal family has been seriously provoked, and it is difficult to control all forces. Since then, the forces of all parties in the Qinglong Continent have been ready to move, and the heroes have risen together, chasing the Qinglong, and the smoke of war is about to break out.

The Qinglong Continent is divided into five prefectures, namely Beijiang Prefecture, Nanning Prefecture, Donghua Prefecture, Xiping Prefecture and Zhongyuan Prefecture.

Northern Xinjiang Prefecture, as the name suggests, is located in the northernmost part of the mainland, with a vast territory, barren land, continuous wind and snow all year round, frozen for thousands of miles, and snow like goose feathers is its true portrayal. It is a fief of the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Thirty-two years of Jian'an.

The lord of Northern Xinjiang Prefecture, in the palace of King Zhien.

A thirteen-year-old boy stood on his armrests, richly dressed, extravagant, and calm. is clearly a young man, but there is a kind of stability and maturity that only adult men can have. On the wall of the study, there are two maps, the one on the left is the map of Northern Xinjiang Prefecture, and the one on the right is the map of the entire Qinglong Continent. At this time, the boy was carefully studying the two maps. In fact, he'd been looking at those two maps all day.

"Lord Wang, you have been watching it all day, please tell me now, what do you see?" Just behind the right of the young man, there sat an old man, with crane hair and a childish face, beautiful hair and fluttering, a green cloth gown, and the style of a celebrity.

The young man turned around, faced the old man, pondered for a moment, and said: "Of the five major states in the Qinglong Continent, except for the Central Plains Prefecture where the royal family is located, an entire state is only given to one clan, only Donghua Prefecture and our Northern Xinjiang Prefecture. However, the area of Donghua Prefecture is not as much as one-fifth of my northern Xinjiang, so when it comes to the area of fiefdoms, my Qin family has the most. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Is there anything else?"

"At first glance, our northern frontier is the largest, but we have many places where the climate is too harsh, or where monsters are rampant, and humans cannot inhabit, except for these places, the area of our northern frontier that can be used by humans is not much more than that of the Donghua Continent. "And we have barren land, snow all year round, and people live extremely hard, so on the whole, we are not comparable to Donghuazhou, not only Donghuazhou, but also other states." The lord of the seven fiefdoms of the continent, we are the weakest. ”

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Not bad." Lord Wang, you can think of these things at a young age, and they are already very powerful. What else comes to mind?"

The young man thought for a while, and then said: "My Qin family, although it is the royal family of the previous dynasty, started in northern Xinjiang, so it is very reasonable for the royal family of the dynasty to choose this place in northern Xinjiang to give us. It's just that I can't figure out one thing, and I don't know if Mr. Somasa can solve my doubts. ”

The old man looked at the boy with a smile, waiting for the boy's question. He believed that with the ingenuity of a young man, he would not let down the questions he asked.

"My Qin clan is the royal family of the previous dynasty, and I am naturally hostile to the current royal family, why would they still give us a large piece of fiefdom to let us recuperate?" This is a question that the young man can't figure out no matter what.

The old man smiled with satisfaction: "The prince's question is very deep, and it really did not disappoint the old minister. ”

"The royal family of the previous dynasty was extremely powerful, transcending the whole world. Until the generation of Prince Duanze, that is, the generation of your father, including the crown prince, the five princes were all amazingly talented, they were all amazing characters and legends in the world, and the strength of the royal family reached its peak for a while. The old man said eloquently, "However, behind this seemingly strong and prosperous, there is a great crisis. The five princes are all extremely powerful, and naturally no one wants to be subservient. For a time, the battle between the princes became more and more intense, the royal family fell into internal strife, and the entire Great Qin Dynasty was turbulent and stormy. ”

When the young man heard the old man's story, his heart was a little sour and sad. This period of his ancestors' history is not a secret, he already knows it, and he also knows what the ending will be, it is naturally not a happy ending, but full of blood and despair.

"The Great Qin Dynasty has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, the royal family is in danger, and the Great Qin is in danger. In the end, the youngest and weakest five princes were poisoned to death, the poisoned three princes were given to death, and the second and fourth princes staged a coup d'état and committed suicide after failure. Of the five princes, only Prince Duanze, who is my father, is still alive. However, he is not the ultimate winner either. His cultivation was useless, his body was weak, and he was no longer qualified for the position of Ninth Five. The young man recalled this history, thinking of his elders who had passed away, and said sentimentally.

"Yes, in that court turmoil, no one in the previous dynasty was the winner. The final victor was the Sangkyung Lee clan, which is now the royal family. They made a mistake and picked up a throne. The Li family did not kill the crown prince, and even gave a large fiefdom, first, because the royal family of the previous dynasty ruled the mainland for hundreds of thousands of years, and the prestige still existed, and the people's will was not dispersed; second, the crown prince's prestige was respectable and worthy of everyone's respect; third, the prince had no hope of making a comeback, and if he was treated well, he would get a good name, and if he was suppressed and humiliated, it would go against the will of the people. The old man said, "When the previous emperor of the dynasty, the title given to the prince was 'Zhi'en', and its meaning was to ask our old prince to remember his kindness. Later, you also know the prince, the prince relied on various panaceas to live for two or three hundred years like a waste, and died in Jian'an thirty-one years, that is, last year. ”

The boy was silent for a long time, and there was silence in the study.

"In my heart, my father was a saint, and no one in the world could compare with him. My ancestors have been saints for generations. The young man said, "They are the pride of my Qin clan and my role model, and I will take them as the direction to move forward and revive the glory of my Qin clan." ”

"Saint?" the old man repeated softly, thinking of the scene when Cangluan welcomed the saint thirteen years ago, he looked at the young man, and the corners of his lips smiled, meaningful.

The teenager didn't notice this. Because his ears were pricked up, he heard some strange noises.

"Click-"

A tiny sound came from overhead. The sound was very slight, like a night owl stepping lightly, silently. But the young man was deaf and clear-sighted, and he still heard the voice.

The young man looked at the old man. There's someone on the roof of this house!

"Click-"

There were several more soft sounds. These soft noises did not come from the roof, but from outside the door, as if there were several masters, surrounding the study.

The young man's whole body tensed, his fists clenched, and he became vigilant. The palace of Zhi'en is heavily guarded, and if someone can break through such a tight garrison and come to the deepest part of this palace, then these people will definitely be unfathomable.
