Chapter 3 Memories of the past are not always so pleasant
In memory, life was not always so full of swords, thirst and flight. Hidden eyebrows clearly remember that when I was very young, I had a quiet life. She and her parents live in the countryside of Feng Lingxi, in terms of strength, Feng Lingxi is the last among the seven countries, this country does not have its own naval fleet, and more than half of the army is mercenaries from other countries who eat and drink. The reason why the King of Wind Spirits was able to barely squeeze into the Seven Nations Alliance was entirely because he had supported the invasion of the former Emperor Wilchenkai, that is, the father of Sether, the Emperor Serres, many years ago. At that time, Seres had just ascended the throne, and the domestic ministers were not convinced by him, and the remaining five countries in the seven-nation alliance saw this opportunity, and pointed fingers at Seres at the alliance meeting every day, and often threatened him with force. Ignoring the opposition of the country, Seres formed an alliance with Fenglingxi, and marched southward, destroying thirteen more states, annexing the lands of these cities, killing all the men, women, children, cattle, sheep and cattle in the cities, and hanging the heads of thirteen kings on the city gates for a hundred days.
Not only that, but the mighty coalition army drove straight in, and it only took two days to kill all the way to the Golden City, the capital of the Jalar Kingdom. Jalal was one of the Seven Kingdoms, and used to be the most fond of trouble with Wilchenkai at League meetings, and once instigated the Seven Kingdoms and the Remnants to unite to overthrow Emperor Serres's rule over Wissingkai. The kingdom of Jalal, which prides itself on producing gold and a strong navy, did not expect that after the slaughter of the remnants of the city by Seres, it would be slaughtered at the gate of its hometown, the Golden City. Jalal's army was as weak as a flock of quails, so Seres had no trouble killing the then crown prince Jalal and setting up a new king. However, Seres did not show his strong penchant for slaughtering the city again, but only threw the servants who swore to death into the shark sea, sent troops to garrison all the ports and gates of Jalal, and returned to the court triumphantly under the panicked eyes of the common people.
From then on, no one dared to dictate King Serres, and VIA Kai went from being an ordinary country to a superpower. King Seres simply crowned himself emperor in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, and as soon as the words fell, the kings and envoys of the other six kingdoms ran to kiss Serres' hand, and Feng Lingxi was praised by Emperor Seres as "a kingdom full of holiness and beauty, not at all like those five despicable and obscene duplicitous".
"Hidden eyebrows!
It was a starry night, her parents were asleep, and seven-year-old Yinxinmei heard her name called. She walked around the house, looked into the pen again, and found nothing, so she shrank back into the bed.
"Hidden eyebrows!
The little girl had heard countless terrible tales about the demon of the Hidden Lotus, but the voice was full of love, and she wanted to hear it, so she dared to ask softly, "Who are you?"
There was no answer. Yin Xinmei quietly opened the door, walked outside under the starry sky, and bowed down in confusion. Leaves and weeds rustled around her, the tip of her nose digging into the wet dirt.
"Hidden eyebrows, hidden eyebrows. ”
The call came over her head, and she felt an astonishing darkness envelop her, and she couldn't tell if she was awake or dreaming. She looked up slightly with a shudder, and saw a pair of white, glowing feet in the darkness that seemed to be touchable. She was so frightened that she quickly shoved her face into the mud on the grass again, and inexplicably felt that she was dirty and evil, and longed to die here immediately.
"Don't be afraid. ”
"I, I, I'm here," the little girl replied in fear, "please don't kill me......"
"I will not kill you," said the voice, "and I will bless you, and make a covenant with you, that you may be queen of the seven kingdoms." So, be the one you are pleased with. ”
"You," she asked, "are you a demon?"
The terrifying force vanished, and she felt the darkness leave, and the moment she shook off the mud from her eyelids, she faintly caught a glimpse of the great mass of fire and the smoking stove.
Time began to pass again, insects chirping, the moon emerging from the clouds, and a fat beetle crawling down her head, all of which seemed to remind her that it was just a dream.
Hidden eyebrows threw away the bug, which landed on a white object and flapped its wings and screamed in dissatisfaction. She walked over, and it turned out to be a white horn. It was a very beautiful horn, polished, with small letters engraved on it. She leaned under her nose in the moonlight to take a closer look.
"Convention".
Many years have passed, and if it weren't for this horn, Yin Xinmei really felt that he was sleepwalking at that time. After the age of seven, her life was not easy, in addition to being forced to be separated from her parents, it was all kinds of selling experiences. Originally, her stamp was very faint, just like her parents, but since that night, her stamp has begun to burn and burn, and it has become deeper and deeper day by day. Originally, she was afraid of this terrifying stamp, but then she was also glad to have this thing, otherwise she would have been ** I don't know how many times. The old bustard at the dock took off her gown, and was so frightened by the mark that she pointed to her nose and told her to get out, and none of the rude sailors or merchants in the tavern dared to touch her. She walked before them naked, feeling like an executioner, and even the wild cat made way for her. She simply smiled and approached a certain celebrity who wanted to do something to her the day before yesterday, and the latter was directly frightened to pee on the ground, which was rumored to be a "beautiful talk" in the local area.
It's a rare good day, it's nostalgic! Not everyone who buys her is a morally corrupt bastard, when she was fourteen years old, there was a city lord of Yu Bangguo who bought her, and this is a respectable old man. He had no children under his knees and never married in his life, and he raised Yin Xinmei as if she were his own granddaughter, and taught her all the knowledge he had learned all his life. She lived happily for five years, and she wanted to serve the old city lord for the rest of her life, but who knew that the war happened, the old city lord was killed, and the land was swallowed up by another Yu Bang country, and she became a prisoner again.
Looking back on her life when she was not young but black and white was reversed, she felt that the promise that night was a disaster. It would have been better if she hadn't had this agreement, at least she could still live like an ordinary person, but now everything has changed.
"What the queen of the Seven Kingdoms," she complained in her dream, "it is clear that I have been a slave for seventeen years, and it is better to kill me when I am seven years old...... I'm better off not being born in the world. ”
"Hidden eyebrows!
After many years, she returned to the small village where the wind was washed, the same red moon, the same clear night sky, and even the chirping of crickets was the same minor key. Surprised and delighted, she stepped on the squishy dirt and heard her parents bickering in the kitchen as they cooked dinner.
"Look what you bought? I asked you to buy a frying pan!" Mom rattled the chopsticks, "How did you get a jar?"
"Why isn't this a pan?" Daddy's loud voice began to thicken.
"Have you ever seen a pan so deep, measure for yourself how deep this thing you bought!"
"The only thing that can fry fish is a pan!"
"The one that can fry fish is a frying pan?" said Mom, holding up the dick in her hand ferociously, "Is that a hot piece of iron that can be used as a hair straightener?
"Okay, you crazy woman......"
Hidden eyebrows were eager to rush into the room, but their feet were firmly nailed to the spot like roots. Suddenly, the terrible darkness came again, and she fell face down face to the ground without thinking about it. This time the fear was even stronger than it had been years ago, and she felt that the anger of the whole universe was focused on the back of her head at this moment, and at any moment a thunderbolt would fall from the sky and kill her.
Her tongue seemed to turn into ice bumps in her mouth, and she couldn't breathe, she couldn't shiver, but every cell in her body was begging to let her live.
"Please don't kill me, I admit that I am greedy for life and afraid of death......" the voice did not come from her mouth.
"I will bless you and make a covenant with you to be queen of the seven kingdoms. So, be the one you are pleased with. ”
"But what am I going to do to get out of this curse?" she asked, hearing her soul.
"Seek my face, and leave. ”
"Leave, leave?" she found herself on her feet, and she shouted to the sparse dead trees around her, standing under the starry sky that had been restored to her original state, "don't you know what I've been through, where else can I leave?"
——
"She slept like a madman. A beautiful female voice said.
"It's the first time I've seen a woman with such a shaved head. A beautiful male voice said.
"What the hell does the Emperor think?"
"I think he's probably bored. ”
"Shhhh ”
"I've told many times not to make this sound, I have bad kidneys, and you're just going to make me urinate!"
......
The conversation grew quieter and quieter, and she struggled to get up, only to realize that she had dreamed of the night many years ago again. But if it was a dream, why was it so real? Why was the phrase "seek my face and leave" so clearly swirling in her mind, like the satin bedspread under the palm of her hand?
Wait, satin bedspread?!
She finally came to her senses, and found herself sitting on a beautiful carved bed, covered with a soft silk quilt, surrounded by a crimson drape, and a long wool carpet embroidered with the imperial coat of arms and emblems covering two-thirds of the floor. She looked around, tall floor-to-ceiling windows, crystal mirrors inlaid in the middle of gold-clad honey locust wood, two brown-red elephant leather sofas, and in front of a delicate revolving dining table, on which a delicate meal was elegantly placed, peacock brains, lion's legs, saya jujube cakes, and a large pot of fragrant olive wine, etc., the cutlery and the table were forged from silver.
However, she noticed two hairy heads at the foot of the bed, as well as the sound of soft breathing.
"Come out. She said.
Two almost identical lovely cheeks poked out cautiously, the same upturned nose, the same black eyes, the same round face with freckles, and the same white linen robe, the only difference being that one was neatly tied in pigtails, and the other had unkempt hair like a chicken coop.
"Hi," the girl greeted embarrassedly, "I'm Noh Xiaomi." ”
"Hey," the boy scratched his hair and looked at the sky, "I'm Noh Soybean." ”
"From now on," the two of them sang and answered, in unison as if they were singing, "We're here to take care of you! Thank you very much!!"
"Ah, ah," Yin Xinmei was a little flustered, trying to remember what he had done to be thankful, "You're welcome, it should be!"
