In the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are dynasties and countries called dust.

The original owner's surname was Yue and his name was Yue Jing. He was twenty and five years old. His father, Yue ye, was officially granted the rank of Marquis of Qingyuan as a general of Pingnan. He was inherited without replacement. There is a brother Yue Jia, ten years old. He is now the Daying capital of Pingnan. Because his brother was not officially canonized, everyone usually treated him as a little marquis.

The dust King established his country in less than a hundred years. His ancestors started their business in troubled times and passed it on to the fourth generation. After he ascended the throne, he was named Qingyun emperor in history.

At the age of ten, Emperor Qingyun succeeded to the throne by relying on the power of his mother family, which led to the great power of the later party. When he became an adult, he worked hard to cultivate his own power, and the Duke of Qingyuan was the backbone.

The father of Yue ye, the Duke of Qingyuan, was the king of Huinan Prefecture. The king was granted a different surname, which was not hereditary and had long passed away. Yue Ye's title and official position were all based on his martial arts.

Because the dust Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, there are countries around it. In the north, there is the Heng Dynasty, in the south, there is the Jing Dynasty, in the west, there is a big difference in the name of an alien country, and in the East, the country calls itself the Wenlian empire.

The borders around are unstable, and wars often stop during wartime. Therefore, the Chen Dynasty established the country with military strength. Most of the princes and princes took turns to lead the army to guard the border, but the Marquis of Qingyuan stationed in the south for a long time.

The ancient city of Zhongping was the capital of the dust Dynasty. Because of the frequent foreign wars, the Court seemed quite calm. Everything was first to defend the land and open up the border. In fact, there was an undercurrent inside. The forces of the later party, the imperial party and the centrists in various departments and counties were intertwined and constrained each other.

After years of war, the National Treasury has been empty, and there are signs of chaos in the administration of officials. Only because the dust Dynasty has a wide land, many people and rich products, the decline can only be known by the high level. On the surface, it is still a situation of singing and dancing.

Another feature is that Wu Li established the country, causing most of the major sects in the Jianghu to be netted by various forces, which has become one of the important weights for wrestling.

Qingyuan Marquis house has always been famous for its harmony. Lord Yue and his son Yue Jia have been stationed at the border for a long time, and Yue Jing is not in the same difficult situation as many sons of other princes. Although his biological mother died in childbirth when giving birth to him, the Marquis and his eldest brother Yue Jia treated him very well and even spoiled him. His label outside is slightly dandy, introverted and weak, advocating literature and not liking martial arts.

Recently, a major event shocked the government and the public, that is, when Lord Yue ye went to Beijing for a routine job classification, he was locked up and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of punishment before returning to the Hou's house. The crime was accused of betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy. The evidence of the crime was a letter.

There was a great commotion from top to bottom.

Everyone knows that Qingyuan Marquis has always been regarded by Emperor Qingyun as the right arm, the Minister of the stock arm and the mainstay of the imperial party. I don't know why emperor Qingyun broke the great wall and personally ordered the imperial army to arrest him. It's really unimaginable.

What's more strange is that apart from arresting people, blocking the Marquis house and detaining the little Marquis Yue Jia and his second son Yue Jing in Pingnan camp, no other people are involved. Even Yue Ye is just detained, and no relevant functional departments such as the military department and the Ministry of justice have been appointed to investigate and convict, and there is no news of who will take over Pingnan camp.

Although there has been no major war in various places recently, this move is still very puzzling. The civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty talked about it one after another and jumped up and down to inquire about the news, but they were not sure. Because of the sudden incident, there are rumors among the people. It is said that the four surrounding countries have also been tipped off and are all ready to act.

Dark clouds were hanging over the capital for a moment. All forces were secretly speculating on the holy intention, and privately stepped up contact and communication to see when the emperor's office and the later party would make the next move, so as to respond in time to the major events affecting the pattern of the court.

On the afternoon of the incident, Yue Jing was studying in the study of Hou's house. He ran in panic with Zhu Chongba and guard Zhu Jiaoqi and pulled him into a secret road. He said that the Hou was arrested and the imperial army was closing the house. His mother Cai ordered them to run with Yue Jing immediately.

The three people passed through a long tunnel and exit in a small mountain village outside the city. After coming out, Zhu Chongba led five horses. The three people immediately went on their way, changed horses and rode for a night. After that, they joined the dark moon guard, a secret force under the Marquis, in an unknown place.

Fifty people galloped nonstop. After successfully passing through a pass, they were somehow intercepted and chased by nearly 100 people from the nearby magic gun gate. The dark moon guard fought all the way and kept reducing its personnel until he protected him from several rounds of attacks through the suspension bridge.

The main line is like this. Hualanting then combed all the details in yuejing's memory and kept them in mind. Although there are still many mysteries to be solved, he finally has a basic understanding of the context of the world and identity.

He then opened the paper given to him by Zhu Chongba. On the paper was a simple map and some text instructions, which seemed to be the address and joint code of a treasure collection.

So far, hualanting has a long and prominent breath of turbid Qi. The lack of aura in the world is turbid, which makes him very uncomfortable when he is used to the air of Shuxuan Xianzhou.

He weighed his accomplishments, and sure enough, as Mu hurriedly said, he reduced a lot. He was about to break through Ren Du's two veins and break through to the beginning of one yuan, but all his martial arts were still there.

Zhu Chongba said that Lin Juju was the first expert in the ingenious Work Department of the Tiangong Bureau. According to his level of being able to easily kill Lin Juju and his judgment of the martial arts of the magic gun sect leader, the three evil spirits of the deceptive knife and the dark moon guard, after his integration with the flesh, his level of force in this world was more than self-protection, that is, he didn't know how to compare with the top experts.

He looked around. There were two roads in front of him. As far as we know, it is located at the junction of the dust Dynasty and the Daqi country. One road can lead to the south of the dust Dynasty along the border, and the other is the road to Daqi country. Where to go?

If only Lin Xianjing were here. He is proficient in literature and martial arts. When he can make a decision, he can only decide by himself now.

The nominal eldest brother Yue Jia is currently in Pingnan camp. His own misfortunes and blessings are unknown. If he goes to Pingnan camp, although they can join hands, they are not familiar with military affairs. Moreover, Pingnan camp should be the power of Qingyuan Hou, and they may not be of great help if they go.

The meaning of this map should be to let yourself get in touch with the hidden forces and get the treasure. As the basis for future actions, people and wealth are indispensable, whether it is to clear the snow and wash the grievances or to fight against the dust Dynasty. Then you'd better go to the great Qi country.

As for hiding and living with fate, hualanting doesn't think much. Since it's experience, it can't shrink its head and escape from the world like a tortoise. It's always necessary to do something.

Although he has no sense of belonging to the world now, even for the reason of revenge for the dead dark moon guard, he has to break through and play his role in this setting that seems to involve family and national hatred.

After the calculation, he found a mountain stream to wash, tidy up his clothes, hide his flying claws, pick up the concealed weapons collected along the way, carry the heavy sword and walk along the road to Daqi country.

Now, he is Yue Jing, the second son of the Marquis of Qingyuan Dynasty, who fled to Daqi. His pseudonym is Hua Lanting.

After walking for half a day, after crossing the plain, there was a river with stone bridges and a city surrounded by mountains on the other side of the river. Before hualanting boarded the bridge and crossed the river to the gate, there were three words engraved on the gate: baowancheng.

After entering the city gate, the city is small but noisy. People come and go. There are all kinds of people, including Hu people with high noses and deep eyes, Mongols wearing leather clothes with chest hair exposed, other foreign people wearing earrings and nose rings, and Han people. There are not a few people with weapons. The people look fierce.

Hua Lanting was not surprised. According to Yue Jing's memory, the Xiongnu, Nuzhen, Uighur, Dangxiang, Mongolian and other nationalities and Han people live together in Daqi. Among them, the Xiongnu is powerful and has won the dominant position. The king's court is located in Daqi, the capital.

Although the Xiongnu suppressed the founding of other ethnic groups by force, other ethnic groups were different from their races and beliefs, so they were difficult to live in peace and often fought. This is why the great difference of almost all the people has always fought with the adjacent dust King Dynasty, but they can't continue to move eastward.

Hualanting walked forward and planned to pass through the city.

In the afternoon, he came to a temple. The word Yuanjue temple was written on the plaque at the door. Pedestrians said it was a new temple. The big monk in the temple seemed to have something to do with the city owner.

He had never seen a Buddhist temple since his first crossing. Now he was interested and strolled to the mountain gate to have a look.

There is an old man with a girl begging at the door. Both of them were shabby and gray. Although the girl had gray marks on her face, it was difficult to hide the white and pink skin and the dark and flexible eyes.

Hua Lanting was about to climb up the stairs when a cry came from behind: "get out of the way, get out of the way quickly. The city Lord and his wife go to Yuanjue temple to pray for blessings, and people with no business make way!"

Hua Lanting flashed aside and saw dozens of armored soldiers coming around with two sedan chairs. As soon as the car pole fell, the first one came out was a fat man in official clothes, fat head and big ears, round and short, and then a middle-aged woman with a pink face and green head.

Hua Lanting quietly asked passer-by A: "man, excuse me, why is the city Lord a Han?"

Passerby B behind passerby a replied in a low voice: "I'm a foreigner, don't you know? Daqi has competed with the dust Dynasty for several times here. In the recent war, Zhou pipi, the garrison of the dust Dynasty, was the master named Zhou Qingfeng. He defected to Daqi and slaughtered the city with Xiongnu soldiers, so he was rewarded as the city master. He was extremely greedy for money and was nicknamed Zhou Pipi."

Passerby a stabbed him and said, "you don't have to say a few words. It's too long."

At this time, several monks came out of the temple gate. The first one was dressed in red cassocks, with fat brains and greasy faces. The temples on both sides were high and raised, and his hands were folded. He said with a flattering smile: "Amitabha, I'm a poor monk to celebrate my life. Welcome to be late. I hope the Lord Haihan of Zhou City."

Du Shou and Zhou peipi, who were very fat, rolled together like two leather balls with legs. They thought they were twins.

Hua Lanting noticed that Zhou Qingfeng's eyes glanced at the little girl begging. Then he winked at a guard around him. The guard understood it. After waiting for someone to go in, the guard pointed to the beggar with his hand and drank: "you two are sneaking on the road that adults must pass. I suspect you are spies of the dust Dynasty. Take it first and go back for interrogation."

The soldiers on both sides couldn't help saying that they came forward to catch people. The old and the young struggled desperately. How could they defeat the wolf like soldiers and be caught in the temple.

No one dares to take care of the people around. Hualanting is a newcomer and frowns. It doesn't happen immediately.

After the city master and his party all entered, hualanting and other Buddha worshippers were allowed to enter.

Hua Lanting went in and saw that although the temple was small, it had all kinds of internal organs. He passed through the heavenly king's hall to the main hall, and was stopped by soldiers at the door. Inside, the city Lord and his wife were kneeling down to worship the Bodhisattva. After worshipping, the city Lord's wife also drew a sign and shouted exaggeratedly: "Good sign, good sign. Although you are tired, your heart is always clean. This sentence comes from Yuanjue Sutra. It shows that the city Lord works hard for the country and the people, and his heart is clear and quiet. It is really destined for my Buddha and PI temple."

As they spoke, they came out. As soon as hualanting was about to wait for them to go to the hall, he heard someone shouting above his head: "kill the dog officer Zhou peipi and avenge his relatives and the people!"

Hua Lanting looked up and saw a dozen figures on the top of the hall. Holding bows and arrows was a round of arrow rain.

At the bottom, some officers and soldiers fell to the ground with an arrow. There was a burst of confusion. A guard shouted, "there are assassins, protect adults!" the soldiers of the government one after another drew their knives and put them in formation for defense.

The assassin at the top of the hall was very good at shooting and didn't hurt innocent people. At this time, the guard outside the temple began to rush in. The people at the top of the hall threw away their bows and jumped down. Eight or nine people went out to block the soldiers coming in, and the others went straight to the protected Zhou Qingfeng.

At first, a strong man held a meteor chain hammer in both hands and danced with great prestige. Immediately, two soldiers broke their hammer tendons and fell to the ground.

When Zhou Qingfeng saw it, he shouted, "Lu Mantian, it's you trapped in Longshan again. Do you think I didn't know you would come? You can't go today."

At this time, the common people ran clean, and more and more people poured in.

The innermost layer is Zhou Qingfeng, eight close guards and six or seven assassins, and then outside are Du Shou and two monks, as well as the two captured beggars, Hua Lanting and a man with pockmarked faces who are not in a hurry to avoid. The outermost layer is 89 assassins and more than 20 soldiers.
