The war is raging here and the city is burning. There were men's war cries and women's screams everywhere.
Someone dies every breath, every moment.
This was once the most prosperous imperial capital of Chu State, but now it is in ruins.
Among the seven great powers in the world competing for hegemony, Chu and Zhou were the most powerful. The war between Chu and Zhou had lasted for four years. Today, Chu State finally perished under the millions of Zhou army.
If a country's imperial capital is captured, it is already destroyed.
The King of Chu and the Queen of Chu hanged themselves to death when the Zhou army broke through the city. Three thousand concubines were given poisonous wine and followed the King of Chu to the underworld one after another.
The palace of the King of Chu has been destroyed, all the princesses will become prostitutes, and all the princes will die. The people of a city also perished together with the Chu state in the massacre by the Zhou army.
"drive!"
Amidst the roar of killing, a bloody horse rushed out of the flames of war and rushed into the darkness ahead.
"drive!"
A middle-aged soldier, carrying a six-year-old child, fled the ruined capital on a bloody horse.
"Young Master! Don't be afraid! The general will definitely lead you out of the siege and save your life!"
The sweaty horse is the most powerful horse in the world, and it is also the fastest horse. It runs as fast as a bolt of lightning.
The six-year-old child nodded. He was indifferent to the subjugation of the country. His face was extremely calm, not at all like what a child should have.
The child did not cry, because his mother hugged him tightly and cried, and gave him instructions again and again before he hanged himself with his father.
"Cheng'er! Although Chu Kingdom is dead, you must live, you must live! When you grow up, don't even think about avenging your mother and father! You must find a place where no one knows you. Go down, marry a wife, have children, and live a peaceful life."
This six-year-old child is the young master of Chu State, Chu Cheng.
Although Chu Cheng is only a six-year-old child, he has always listened to his mother, so he must live.
The war was raging, and although the Zhou army broke through the capital of Chu, they were burning and killing. But there is still a small group stationed outside the capital.
The general was eventually discovered and was hunted down by the Zhou army. They fought bloody battles all the way, but were still forced to retreat to the foot of a thousand-foot cliff.
An army of 30,000 suppressed him. Even if this general was the most powerful person in martial arts in the Chu State, Chu Changfeng, the general of the Chu State who feared the Zhou army, was not an enemy of ten thousand troops.
Chu Changfeng swore to protect the young master to the death. After killing 1,200 enemy soldiers, he was exhausted and was pierced by dozens of spears and died.
When his anger subsided, he still stood upright in front of the young master, preventing Zhou Jun from getting close.
"Little... Young Master... you must... live!"
These were the last words Chu Changfeng left in this world.
At this moment, there was an uproar among the Zhou army. All the Zhou soldiers dispersed and left a path.
A Gaohua carriage drove from not far away.
The young master looked at the carriage, bit his lip and clenched his fists.
The carriage was extremely luxurious, and the curtains were decorated with nine golden dragons. There was no need to guess who was inside, it was undoubtedly the King of Zhou.
"Hush!"
On horseback, a general wearing golden armor tightened the horse's rope to stop the horse. Then he dismounted and lifted the curtain.
In the carriage, a young man wearing imperial robes sat, holding a three-year-old girl in his arms.
The young master will never forget that face. It was a square face, and between the brows there was an aura of majesty that only a superior person could possess.
The young master only saw this kind of majesty on his father's face. This was the second person with majesty he had ever seen.
"Haha, the person who can make Chu Changfeng defend to the death. It seems to be the young master of Chu State. I didn't expect that a fish would slip through the net. Come on! Let me kill this prince of Chu State on the spot!"
"Father...don't..."
Suddenly, the girl pulled King Zhou's sleeve and shouted in a sweet voice.
"Father, please let him go."
King Zhou frowned, looked at the girl in his arms, and then smiled. Said: "Since Zhi wants his father to spare his life, then his father will spare his life. Zhiruo, my father will give you this dead slave of the Chu Kingdom to be your slave, okay?"
"I am the prince of the Chu Kingdom. Even if I die, I will not be your slave of the Zhou Kingdom!"
At this moment, the silent young master spoke, with determination on his face.
When King Zhou heard this, he burst into laughter, but at the next moment, his voice suddenly stopped.
There were also screams of surprise from the Zhou army, and the child resolutely ran towards the cliff and jumped.
The strong wind blew up and roared in the young master's ears. Under the cliff is the endless darkness.
The young master's weak body fell rapidly in the strong wind. When death came, he heard the words of his mother before her death in a daze.
"Cheng'er! You must live! You must live!"
.......
"Mother!"
In a carriage, a man in white woke up with a cold sweat all over his body.
"Young Pavilion Master, are you having nightmares again?"
At this moment, a concerned voice fell in the ears of the man in white.
"Haha, I just dreamed about monsters and demons." The man in white shook his head and said with a smile.
"Young Pavilion Master, this is a long way and it is a mountainous road. It is inevitable that evil spirits will invade you. Let me light a stick of pure sandalwood to calm you down, Young Pavilion Master."
"Then I'll help you." The man in white smiled and then took off the mask on his face.
The mask fell off, revealing an extraordinary and handsome face, but this face was covered with cold sweat.
The man in white clothes took out a white handkerchief from his long sleeves, wiped the sweat on his forehead and face, sighed again, and said: "秧木. In the blink of an eye, I have been in Tianji Pavilion for twenty years."
The attendant next to him lit sandalwood and placed it next to the man in white. He raised his head and said, "What the Young Pavilion Master said is that you have been in Tianji Pavilion for twenty years."
This attendant had shiny black hair, but his face was extremely skinny. If the man in white hadn't known that he was only five years older than him. You will definitely think that this person is an old man in his sixties.
"Twenty years..." The man in white put the half-seal mask back on his face, shook his head and said, "Twenty years ago, this world is no longer what it was back then."
"Young Master, twenty years ago, the Zhou Kingdom conquered the Chu Kingdom, and then went all out to conquer the Xia, Han, Song, and Wu Kingdoms one after another. Although now only Zhou and Yan are left. But Zhou has proclaimed himself emperor, and the general trend of the world has been Among the Zhou Kingdoms, the Yan Kingdom is not far from destruction."
"Is the world trending?"
In the past twenty years, the Zhou Kingdom defeated the five warring states in one fell swoop and established the Zhou Dynasty. The King of Zhou established himself as emperor and was not far from unifying the Central Plains.
For thousands of years, the world has been divided and reunited, and someone will eventually unify the Central Plains.
But in this world, no matter how many dynasties change, there is always a force that has stood firm for thousands of years. This force is called Tianji Pavilion.
Tianji Pavilion has always been mysterious, and no one in the world knows where this power is.
Although Tianji Pavilion is mysterious, no one in the world knows about it. Just because of the secret list.
The Tianji Ranking is the most fair ranking in the world. It is divided into four rankings, in addition to the Tianji Ranking, there are also three rankings: the Young Master Ranking, the Beauty Ranking and the Financial Strength Ranking.
These four lists are the four lists of Tianji.
Speaking of these four lists, I have to mention one person.
The man's name is Gongziyu.
The top one in Tianji is Mr. Tianji.
The Tianji Ranking is a collection of the hundred most powerful masters in the world. Those who can be included in the Tianji Ranking are all famous heroes in the world. Some have been famous for a long time, and some have stirred up troubles as soon as they enter the world.
There is a rumor in the world that it has been ten years in the world. No matter how strong a master is, he can only last ten years at most, and then someone will replace Tianji at the top of the list.
But this Young Master Tianji has been in power for fifteen years, and no one can shake him.
Fifteen years ago, Shen Lang, the leader of Tianji, fought against Gong Ziyu, but lost half a move and never entered the world again. The top spot in this secret list is replaced by Gongziyu.
The three words "Gongziyu" itself have an awe-inspiring power. If this world is the world of Emperor Zhou, then the world of fifteen is the world of Gongziyu.
In addition to this Tianji list, there is also the Young Master list, and it is this Young Master Tianji.
Although Mr. Tianji is as mysterious as Tianji Pavilion and wears a half-seal mask for many years, someone has still seen his face. This person is Lin Haoran, the poet saint of the world.
"The young master is like a jade man returning from the road, with his fan bone clearing the cold and the flute blowing in his throat. In the spring breeze, the moon sets deep in the night, and his jade face reflects the world." This is a poem sung by Master Lin Haoran when he first saw the young master's jade twelve years ago.
Speaking of this list of young men, I have to mention the list of beauties.
The list of beauties is different from the list of young men. After all, ladies, except those courtesans, rarely appear in public, making it extremely difficult to evaluate.
But there is one person who, like Gongziyu, has been at the top of the beauty list for more than ten years. Just like Gongziyu, there is one person who has been at the top of the beauty list for fifteen years.
The empty pool is full of spring, and the ancient mirror shines upon the gods. Gaze at the stars and sing songs. The flowing water today is the predecessor of the bright moon.
This is the evaluation of that woman by all the men in the world.
This girl is as pure and elegant as an immortal, rising from the dust of ice and snow. No one in the world dares to blaspheme it.
Because this girl was the most favored concubine of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo's name appeared in the eyes of everyone in the world when she was eight years old.
Gongziyu and Zhou Zhiruo are often mentioned together by the world, which is a good story about a talented man matching a beautiful woman.
On top of this top four list of secrets, there is another mysterious list, which few people in the world know about. Only those in power are qualified to know.
According to legend, there are nine people in the world who secretly collect the most powerful martial arts and war techniques in the world. The succession of imperial powers among the controllers in the past dynasties was a major event in the martial arts world. They have been passed down from generation to generation and are known as the Nine Heavens.
If you win one of the nine heavens, you can win the world!
There are rumors that the reason why Zhou State was able to conquer Chu State in a short period of time was that it had the assistance of Lord Haotian of Nine Heavens, thus conquering the five kingdoms in one fell swoop and dominating the Central Plains.
The rankings in the Nine Heavens Ranking have varied throughout the ages. Very few people know their rankings on the Nine-Day Ranking. But there are still a few people in this world who know who is currently at the top of the Nine Heavens list.
Xuantianjun, Gongziyu.
Tianji Pavilion noted in the Nine Heavens Ranking that one person, Xuan Tianjun, could equal the remaining eight Heavenly Kings in the Nine Heavens Ranking.
One person has the power to destroy and replace a dynasty.
