The Great Feng Dynasty had lasted for more than 800 years. During this period, there were countless rebellions and annexation wars. However, they still managed to rule over 30 states in the midst of the flames of war. They had been passed down to this day, and the resilience of the people could be seen from this.
·
In the autumn of the 15th year of Changping.
A carriage slowly drove from the south to the north, leisurely traveling on the official road within the Jian Province.
There was some dust around the car and it looked a little worn. It was obvious that it had experienced many days of bumps.
The driver was a thin man with gray hair. His back was leaning against the wall of the carriage. His eyelids were slightly closed, and one leg was curled inward while the other was placed outside the carriage.
As he was half-awake, his body swayed slightly, making people worry if he would fall from the carriage to the ground in the next moment.
"Old Yellow!"
A lazy voice sounded, breaking the silence of the rolling carriage on the official road.
The coachman opened his eyes slightly and yawned, revealing his yellow teeth. After smacking his lips, he seemed to remember that his young master had called him. He quickly turned his head away with an honest and comical expression.
"Young Master, you're awake. There are fresh cucumbers here. They were just picked from the vegetable garden by the roadside.”
" We're already in Guanghan County of Jian Province. We can take a bath in the county city soon…"
The old man kept talking to himself and did not notice the young man's expression at all. He had already become a little uncomfortable and was showing signs of turning black.
"Also, Young Master, you didn't see it. Just now, a horse galloped past. It was actually a Night Illumination Jade Lion that is hard to buy with a thousand gold. Looking at that skeleton, it is more than eight feet tall. Although it is a little inferior to the mounts of our Marquis 'Residence, but to suddenly see it in this kind of remote place in the south, I miss it quite a bit."
"Old Yellow!"
With a sharp and crisp sound, the curtain was lifted, revealing a young man with a pained expression.
He had a handsome face, long and narrow eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up helplessly. Some women would definitely want to hug him in their arms and dote on him.
As for those rich and noble people who liked to be young husbands with red lips and white teeth, it was needless to say.
"Hey, what's wrong, Young Master?"
Old Huang, the coachman, couldn't hide his joy. He stopped what he wanted to say and looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a dazed expression.
He remembered that it was this seven-year-old young master who brought him to the Red Moon Restaurant.
After a round of seduction, he actually prepared to spend the night there. If he hadn't suddenly woken up at the last moment, abandoned those two beautiful women, and rushed out of the door, his heroic reputation would have been lost there.
But now that he thought about it, the skin of those two delicate Lil 'Miss was really fresh, their eyes were soft and charming, and their bodies were graceful…
Although she was a little too pretentious, why didn't she make a fool of herself at that time? That way, she wouldn't have been laughed at by her old friends for so many years!
Thinking of this, Old Yellow wanted to slap himself.
"What a good opportunity, but you pushed it away just like that?!”
"Sigh, it's rare to be muddle-headed. Why haven't I been muddle-headed once?”
Old Huang sighed in frustration, wishing he could slap himself twice more.
"After resting for three days, I've finally made up for the sleep I've lacked for the past six years.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and looked up at the hills on both sides as he sighed.
His eyes were long and narrow, and coupled with the faint smile on his face, there was an indescribable warmth and friendliness.
Looking at the plain weeds and forest around him, a relaxed and comfortable feeling of relief overflowed uncontrollably, echoing in his heart.
Recalling the painful experience of the past six years, the young man secretly gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, six years!"
Ever since he was seven years old, he had been tricked by his old man to come to Liberty Island with some delicious snacks. What was even more infuriating was that he had not even seen a single one of these snacks.
He trained with more than ten thousand children of the same age, and in the end, he even had them fight in pairs.
Moreover, he would often face slaughter and sneak attacks in his sleep, engaging in life and death battles all day long, wandering on the edge of life and death…
Thinking of this, the young man closed his eyes and exhaled softly.
All kinds of things, it was unbearable to look back!
Seemingly feeling that his mouth was a little tasteless, the young man casually pulled out a cucumber. Without caring if it was clean or not, he casually wiped it with his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at Old Yellow's ruddy face, he mumbled,""Old Huang, did the family really only ask you to pick me up? Didn't the old man send a few experts? Why wasn't there even a shadow of this fellow who was acting as a thug and evil slave?”
Old Yellow seemed a little embarrassed, and said shyly,""Young Master, if it wasn't for me, no one would dare to block the way and cause trouble when we came.”
"Alright, which blind thief would rob you?”The young man stared carefully at Old Huang, who was dressed like a coachman, and cursed in his heart.
Tsk, tsk, look…he was wearing a tattered green robe that had been washed white, a skinny little body, and an old carriage that should be eliminated. That's right, it was old.
If this carriage was in the past, he wouldn't even look at it. It would be too embarrassing.
In addition, there was a thin old horse that obviously lacked fodder to feed. Outsiders could tell at a glance that it lacked money. How was it worth leading a group of minions to intimidate it for a while?
He even felt that it was a waste of saliva!
The young man resisted the urge to kick him and said with a harmless smile,"How powerful are the experts?"
Old Huang's face became even redder, obviously not in line with his skinny body. If he stood next to an old horse whose physique was comparable to his, it was hard not to suspect that he had embezzled the fodder and definitely filled his own pocket.
He first raised his hand and gestured. His palm was level with the teenager's gaze.
He seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he lowered his arm slightly. When he felt that the height was right, he raised his head.
Seeing that his young master was looking at him with a smile, he retracted his hand resentfully and grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth. There were still traces of evidence left behind by him after stealing someone else's cucumbers.
Seeing that he had stopped bragging, the young man did not speak. He raised his head slightly and looked at the outline of Qinghe County City in front of him.
He recalled when he was still in the marquis's manor when he was young. Every time he led a group of evil servants out for a stroll, this somewhat shriveled old man would always follow behind him.
Not only that, but he also liked to laugh and get close to him. He was very eye-catching among a group of strong fighters.
He remembered that there was once when he had a conflict with a group of young masters from a local aristocratic family in the Xianglin Prefecture. Because he did not bring enough retinue, he did not take it seriously after beating the other party up. In the end, he was chased into a mess by the servants and thugs that they had gathered. He was in a very sorry state.
When he was about to turn around and say something vicious, he realized that the old man was running very fast. The tattered felt hat on his head had fallen off, and his hair was disheveled. His legs were swinging wildly, and he quickly overtook him and ran in front.
At that time, he was stunned.
Damn it, why did he keep bragging about being an expert?
Which expert?
Now that he thought about it, even if his internal strength was not strong enough in the past and he could not detect Old Huang's " expert " demeanor, after six years of hellish training, he still could not feel any fluctuation of his aura. He was no different from an ordinary person.
Could it be that this old servant who was the first to escape in a fight was really a super expert with unfathomable martial arts?
Besides, how powerful could a horsekeeper be?
Ha!
Thinking of this, the youth felt a sense of frustration.
In the past six years, his old man had not visited him once. Now that he had passed the examination on Liberty Island, he had not even seen his relatives, let alone a large number of personal guards and retinues.
It was just an old servant, a thin horse, and a broken carriage. What was the matter?
Which young master of an aristocratic family didn't wear fresh clothes and have a group of servants?
He was the heir of the Marquis, but he had been thrown into the assassin training camp since he was young and had to fight to the death day and night. Was there such a cruel father?
Looking at the city that was getting closer and closer, the young man exhaled deeply and turned to look at the girl in the carriage with a gentle gaze.
She did not have an extremely beautiful charm, nor was she as soft as a willow in the spring breeze. At most, she had a trace of delicate beauty. Her skin was not as fair and supple as the servant girls in the marquis 'manor. On the contrary, it was more of a wheat color. Her hair was simply tied up, making her look even more clean and concise.
The only thing that could make people's eyes light up was those eyes that seemed to be filled with emotions. They seemed gentle, determined, and calm.
"Xueyin, relax. We have already left Liberty Island. Those old perverts on the island can no longer control us. Now, our fate is in our own hands. Come, smile more."
The young girl looked at her young master quietly, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
The young man looked at her delicate face with a helpless expression. He stretched out his hand to stop Xue Ying's somewhat terrifying smile and smoothed out her frown from practicing her smile. He sighed slightly.
"Alright, alright, it's fine if you don't want to…Although we're assassins, it's not wrong to maintain the necessary coldness, but to get close to the crowd, it's easier to assassinate the enemy. Smiling more is normal, and it's more beautiful too…Don't learn from those icebergs on the island in this regard.”
"Also, those guys are being monitored by Di Zis. I'll accompany you to deal with them one by one.”
Xue Ying carefully observed her young master. A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes that were like deep springs in the valley. After a long time, she nodded gently. Just like that winter seven years ago.
Snowflakes filled the sky like a mat. It was a world of ice and snow.
The weather had cleared up, and the cold wind was bone-chilling. A thin little girl wrapped in a tattered dirty robe was curled up at the corner of the street. She looked like she was eight years old, and her mud-covered hair was covered in a layer of frost. Her fingers were covered in frostbite. She knelt on the frozen cold ground and kept kowtowing.
"Young master, I beg you, I am willing to sell myself as a slave. I only need ten taels of silver. Ten taels is enough. Please do me a favor and bury my mother.”The girl's forehead was bruised and there were faint traces of blood.
Around them stood a group of young masters who were out on the streets looking for fun. They were wearing fox fur coats and brocade quilts, and they were wearing warm velvet leather boots.
His expression was indifferent as he watched the girl's pleading with a mocking smile on his face.
" Ten taels of silver is not impossible…" A slightly plump young man pinched his throat and looked at the girl with disgust."As long as you say that my mother is a slut, a slut who seduces men, I'll give it to you and let you eat your fill. How about it?”
The girl's thin body that was lying in the mud trembled for a moment. Then, she slowly raised her head. She did not cry or grieve. Tears hung in the corners of her eyes, but she no longer begged.
"Say something! As long as he said it, he would have a coat to wear. It was such a simple matter.”Someone beside him jeered with a mocking expression.
The girl leaned against the corner of the wall, her dirty little face filled with determination. He was like a snow plum tree shivering in the cold wind, refusing to yield.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" The fat youth's eyes were fierce like a bloodthirsty beast. He took a step forward and kicked the girl.
Bang!
The girl's thin body fell to the ground and she grunted. She endured the pain and sat up. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat as she bit her lip and kept quiet.
Bang!
With another kick, the girl fell to the ground. Her frostbitten face was stubborn and unyielding. She gritted her teeth and looked at Fatty coldly.
The fat youth was even more furious. He had a mission. He had thought that it was just a small matter and that he would be able to obtain generous benefits with a slight threat. He did not expect to be hit by a nail.
This made him lose all his face and anger. He couldn't care less about the order from his superiors to not play with people to death. He waved his hand fiercely and said,"Beat them all to death!"
A group of people swarmed forward. The little girl curled up and covered her head. Her face was in pain and her face was as pale as paper. She frowned but still did not speak.
" You little b * tch, you're just like your mother, a b * tch…" Fatty cursed and kicked the girl's head.
Everyone was in high spirits and did not notice that a luxurious carriage had passed by behind them. The curtain was opened a crack, and a young voice came from behind.
"Old Yellow, stop."
……
Xue Ying's eyes were dazed for a moment. She let out a light breath and looked at the youth quietly."Yes, Young Master."
His voice was gentle but slightly cold.
The young man smiled and casually gathered a strand of hair in front of Xue Ying's ear before opening the carriage curtain.
He put two fingers to his mouth and whistled.
A white figure suddenly flashed out of the sky. After circling the sea of clouds once, it quickly flew into the distance and soon disappeared.
He looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer. He could already vaguely see the guards at the city gate.
On both sides of the road, there were some wine shops and tea shops. Some guests were resting and drinking, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was lively.
Seeing such a scene, the young man's lips curled up slightly, and his handsome face became even more charming. He said with a slight sigh,"I haven't heard so much laughter in a long time. This is more like life!”
Old Huang turned his head and smiled, gently patting the thin horse. The old horse seemed to have some intelligence, and its already unpleasant hooves immediately slowed down.
After adjusting the speed of the car, Old Yellow turned around and said with a smile," Young Master, Liberty City is more lively. There are nearly a million people here. We'll be home in a month. I'll bring you there to have fun."
After Xue Ying hung up the curtains, she sat back in the carriage, not moving at all.
The young man didn't mind. He stuffed the cucumber butt into his mouth, got up, and sat beside Old Yellow outside the carriage. After looking around, he suddenly said indifferently,"Old Huang, don't call me young master anymore.”
Although Old Huang was a little confused, he didn't ask. He just turned his head and chuckled."Hey, Young Master."
The carriage moved forward slowly. It did not go to the side door that was specially opened for the dignitaries and officials. Instead, it followed the ordinary people and headed straight for the main gate of Guanghan County.
The young man narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. Three ancient words were imprinted in his eyes.
The words were firm and carried a sharp aura that spread out in all directions.
After looking at it for a while, the young man turned his head. A glint flashed across his eyes as he pouted slightly and muttered.
"Guanghan County? My First Phoenix is here…"
The number one clan, the number one phoenix!
The phoenix was a legendary divine bird. The male was a phoenix and the female was a phoenix, symbolizing auspicious signs.
When the young man was born, the parasol tree in the courtyard suddenly turned red, dazzling for dozens of miles. The light filled the sky and was extremely bright. The void was accompanied by rumbling thunder that resounded through the nine heavens.
Even Duke Xiaoyao, who was the strongest man in the Land Immortal Realm, found it hard to open his eyes. His vast and vigorous power was like a mud cow entering a pool. He only felt an extremely terrifying pressure covering the void, making him unable to move.
After the boy cried out for the first time, the dazzling light that reached the sky disappeared into nothingness. A clear and high-pitched scream faintly came from the sky. The golden lightning interweaved in the void suddenly disappeared, and the world returned to clarity.
The strange phenomenon just now was like an illusion. The sky was clear and blue. Duke Xiaoyao, who was drenched in cold sweat, stood up with difficulty. His face was as pale as paper. He swallowed his saliva and flew to the front of the parasol tree.
Looking down, one of the branches of the parasol tree facing the southeast had faint traces of burning. It was as if a sharp claw had fallen, and there was still a trace of terrifying aura.
That afternoon, the first family's patriarch, the first Feng's grandfather, personally decided that his grandson would be named 'Feng'. After saying that, he left in a hurry and only returned after three months.
No one knew where he went.
Although many people commented that the name was too girly, the first old man had personally made the decision. No one dared to question it.
When the first male wind returned, his aura was like thunder. When he raised his hand, it seemed to carry a faint and terrifying pressure. As he breathed, the void trembled slightly and thunder rumbled, as if it was resonating with the world.
He had reached the peak of the Land Immortal Realm!
The first thing he did after returning was to have someone bring the First Phoenix over. After observing it for a long time, he said something.
"When Feng 'er completes the coronation ceremony, he will take the name Heavenly Wolf.”
The first phoenix was called Tian Lang!
When the first phoenix grew up, her face was like a porcelain doll, which made people like her even more. Therefore, rumors started to spread.
They said that this prince of the First Marquis 'Residence was like a girl, with a thick makeup aura. If this name was added, it would be a joke.
Rumors began to spread even in Liberty City. Stirred by some people with strange thoughts, the rumors grew louder and louder. Half of the city was in an uproar.
After hearing these words, Number One Xiongfeng was furious. With a single order, he killed more than a dozen branch family disciples on the spot. Then, he went on a wild hunt. In a few days, more than three thousand heads fell to the ground.
Liberty City was in a state of panic. It was filled with a somber atmosphere. Under the cold, depressing atmosphere, everyone felt insecure.
For a long time, a funny phenomenon appeared in the city: Many people had to filter their thoughts before they spoke.
The rumors also began to die out.
Following that, Duke Xiaoyao's manor issued an order, saying that whoever dared to gossip again would be killed!
In the next few years, although there were some minor rumors left in private, no one dared to openly oppose the Xiaoyao Manor.
At least on the surface.
The little boy had also started to grow up. When he was eight years old, he was tricked by his old man into entering Liberty Island. It had been six years since then, and it was only recently that he had learned to leave the island.
The turbulent world had also begun…
