Chapter 1 The Wedge
Outside the northern frontier fortress of Dacheng.
Wang Quan woke up leisurely, but before he opened his eyes, he smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and it seemed as if something was pressing on his body.
He tried to open his eyes and found that there was a soldier's body pressing down on him, with several arrows stuck in the soldier's back. Wang Quan used all his strength to push away the soldier pressing on him.
It is said that after death, death becomes very heavy.
What's more, Wang Quan was only ten years old at this time.
Take a closer look at the soldier in front of you
He recognizes him.
After being taken to Beisei from Kyoto by his father, this soldier has been taking care of his daily life.
Looking around, there are corpses everywhere and wildfires everywhere.
Blood slowly flowed out from countless corpses, and unexpectedly merged into streams like streams. As the sun set, the sky seemed to be dyed red.
The fierce horses in front are still roaring and running, and the soldiers are still fighting.
He fell down and stood up again, stood up and fell down again, and so on until he could never stand up again.
Wang Quan slowly stood up and looked at the war in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment.
He knew very well that this was a dream, because for ten years, he had often dreamed of these scenes, sometimes on the battlefield and sometimes in the military camp.
But this is not a dream.
This was something he experienced personally ten years ago.
In fact, Wang Quan is not from this world. In his previous life, he was a soldier. After he retired from the army, he returned to his hometown police station and worked as an auxiliary policeman. His monthly salary was more than 3,000 yuan. Fortunately, his family was well-off, and he was the kind of rich man who would inherit the family property at any time.
In my generation, my life was quite comfortable, and my daily tasks were not heavy. During this period, I had completed two meritorious services, and I was about to become a regular police officer.
When I came home from get off work that night, I saw two young hooligans teasing a girl. I wanted to stop him, but unexpectedly, the two hooligans stabbed him when they saw him approaching. Wang Quan never expected that the young man today would be so bloody. As soon as you close your eyes and open them, you come into this world, and you are still a little baby who is only a few years old!
This world is not the original world, nor is it the ancient world!
The King of this world's mother died when he was young, but his family background is prominent. The Dacheng Empire is the only hereditary king with a different surname - King Wucheng and Wang Xiao. This is his father!
The title was passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the Dacheng Kingdom. In the past five hundred years, almost every generation of King Wucheng has been the commander-in-chief of the entire empire.
When Wang Quan first remembered, his father led the army to Beisai to fight against the enemy. The barbarians from the north began to invade the Dacheng border decades ago, and they became even more rampant in the past ten years.
In the past hundred years, the Northern Barbarians' national strength has been growing, and their people and horses are strong. Therefore, they are unwilling to accept why they can only survive in a place that is dry and cold for half of the year. Why can Dacheng sing every night in the fertile land of the Central Plains?
.
They are unwilling to do so.
So fifty years ago, taking advantage of Dacheng's unpreparedness, the army attacked and drove directly to Dacheng's northern border pass.
By the time Dacheng came to his senses, the lands of the three northern states had fallen into the hands of the northern barbarians.
The massacre of the city is also a direct manifestation of the ruthless nature of the Northern Barbarians.
At that time, King Wucheng was Wang Quan's grandfather. He quickly led his army to counterattack northward, thus blocking the northern barbarian army from moving southward.
He continued to fight in the north for the next thirty years until he died of illness in the military camp.
After Wang Xiao inherited the title, he succeeded his father's position. He was better than his predecessor and recovered the three states that fell into the hands of the Northern Barbarians in the Battle of Yuquanguan ten years ago.
This is also where the dream of kingship begins~~
Although the lost territory had been recovered, in order to prevent the Northern Barbarians from counterattacking again, Wang Xiao has been stationed in Beisai since then.
Due to his prominent family background, the royal power in Kyoto was almost free to do whatever he wanted, and there were no elders in the family, so he had no one to discipline him since he was a child. There was only an old housekeeper who had followed his grandfather to say a few words to him when he was having fun, but he was still short of money.
When Emperor Dacheng saw that he was old, he asked him to enter the palace to study and practice calligraphy with the princes and princesses.
That's not a companion piece for princes and princesses.
That seriously raised his status to the same level as the princes and princesses.
When several princes saw him studying with them, they were not polite when they saw him. After all, they grew up in the palace and were accustomed to wealth. Naturally, they couldn't understand Wang Quan's behavior. They stepped forward to provoke him and were beaten several times by Wang Quan.
A little princess was also present and was so frightened that she burst into tears.
When the concubines in the harem learned that their son had been beaten, they did not dare to let the guards teach the king a lesson directly, so they all came to the emperor with tears in their eyes to complain!
Emperor Cheng did not take this seriously and regarded it as just a play between children. Seeing the emperor acting like this, the concubines did not dare to say anything and went back to tell their sons not to provoke the royal power again.
He studied in the palace like this until he was nine years old.
In the past few years, although he often quarreled with the princes in the palace and the children and grandchildren of important officials in the court, it was not harmful.
One day, after the young master got out of class, Wang Quan waited and waited but could not wait for someone from the palace to come to pick him up. So he was bored and wandered around the palace. He accidentally broke into a room and saw a man who was the same as himself.
A girl of about the same age was taking a bath and was immediately caught on the spot by the palace guards, without any time to react.
After Emperor Cheng learned about this, he changed his usual attitude and asked someone to bring the royal power in front of him and scolded him. He was forced to stay in seclusion to think about his mistakes and was not allowed to leave the mansion even half a step without an order.
Later, Wang Quan learned that the girl was the emperor's fifth princess. She had been accepted as a close disciple by the elder grandmaster of Fairy Peak since she was a child. No wonder he had not seen her in the palace. This time she returned to the palace to visit her relatives.
The great legacy is great.
All the people in the country of Dacheng are the subjects of Dacheng. The whole world is not the royal land.
But there are always some extremely rare places where the royal family has to be courteous. This is not because the royal family is afraid of them, but because when Dacheng was founded, these Jianghu forces helped it, and the Dacheng Empire also gradually evolved from Jianghu forces.
It took shape and overthrew the decadent dynasty at that time.
And this Fairy Peak is one of the famous forces in the world, and it only accepts female disciples.
The fifth princess is the same age as Wang Quan. She is also nine years old this year. She is the emperor's favorite daughter and the next generation saint of Fairy Peak. Now she is being seen by a man. Although they are not very old, they are still around when this woman is fourteen years old.
But marrying into a dynasty is no small matter.
If he were an ordinary man, I am afraid that all nine clans in the clan would be killed, but Wang Quan is not an ordinary man and cannot be killed.
After Emperor Cheng's anger subsided, he came back to his senses and felt that it was no big deal. Otherwise, he would marry the fifth princess to the king. Anyway, he knew everything. Although he was a little generous, he still retained the Yang family's legacy.
The bloodline is definitely indispensable, not to mention that his father was more powerful than him back then. Isn't he still the military general of the empire now?
So a decree was sent to Beisei.
Emperor Cheng's idea had not yet received a response from the north, so he received news from Fairy Peak in advance, demanding that the royal family must kill the king. The fifth princess was the fifth princess of Dacheng, but she was also the heir to the saint of Fairy Peak. If the royal family did not act
, Fairy Peak will take action personally.
Emperor Cheng was furious, not to mention that this is his own daughter, do you still need to point fingers?
He only said that this matter has been blocked by his order, and there is absolutely no possibility of leakage, unless someone in the palace hid the news from him. Now the court in Kyoto and the world know about this matter, which makes
How will my fifth princess meet people in the future, these idiots from Fairy Peak! Is that the boy from the Wang family you can kill if you want?
Emperor Cheng, still angry, only had two words to reply: Please!!
After receiving the news, Fairy Peak was furious, thinking that the royal princess was peeked at, and you, the head of a country, did nothing. Okay! Okay! Okay! Then let us take action personally, and the dandy heir of a mere minister is worthy of doing it.
I, the Holy Girl of the Peak, are getting married!
According to the news they received, the person who peeked at the fifth princess was the son of a minister in the court. He was a dandy and a dissolute person. He was really a piece of shit!
northern frontier fortress,
When the soldiers heard about the heroic deeds of the Crown Prince, they all said well~~
A tiger father has no dog sons~~
Heroic old man, heroic son~~
Wang Xiao grinned to the back of his head when he heard these compliments.
Some of them even regretted why the prince did not have the raw rice to cook the rice, and wasted this great opportunity!
They don't even think about how old Wang Quan is, and he doesn't have the heart but the strength!
But then the prince received a decree from His Majesty, saying that he wanted to marry the heir of the Yang family!
Although they have never met the Crown Prince Wucheng, they know that these soldiers are all soldiers led by their Yang family. The emperor personally proposed that the Crown Prince marry a princess as his wife. It would be very honorable to tell the truth! The Yang family's
Face is the face of soldiers.
A few days later, I received news from the court that those crazy women from Fairy Peak actually dared to kill the Crown Prince? The army was agitated for a while, as if it was an enemy attack!
Just when Fairy Peak was preparing to dispatch, a message came from the Jianghu. It came from the northern army of Dacheng Town!
King Wu Cheng, the commander of the army, personally said: Yang's lineage is thin and he only has one son. If you guys in Fairy Peak want to test the sharpness of the swords of my army of 300,000, you might as well ask the barbarians in the north first.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the court and the arena.
Needless to say, Fairy Peak’s status in the world of martial arts is needless to say, but I have also heard a little about Wang Xiao’s acting style. After all, Wang Xiao did some creepy things in the world of martial arts back then~~
I just didn’t expect that the boy who insulted the heiress of the Saint of Fairy Peak was actually Wang Xiao’s son. Not that, he was that person’s grandson~~
It's also their fault that they didn't investigate the matter clearly and trusted too much the person who sent them the information.
In the court, some civil servants took the opportunity to criticize Wang Xiao, bluntly saying: Wang Xiao does not care about the safety of the country. If he turns against Fairy Peak, the Northern Fortress will be broken. Wang Xiao's move is treason, and they have written letters asking Your Majesty to kill this thief.
Some of these officials were political opponents of Prince Wucheng's palace, while others truly believed that Wang Xiao's behavior was harmful to the country.
Anyway, whenever the military makes a slight mistake during a war, or is about to make a mistake, the officials will write a letter of impeachment. This has become an unspoken rule in the court. The officials must "go against" the military attachés, and not with them.
The military attache who "contradicts" the public speaking officer is not a good speaking officer.
Just when the Jianghu and the court were at a stalemate, the fifth princess stood up and spoke.
She claimed that her father had been betrothed to Prince Wucheng many years ago. Although she did not agree with it, she accepted it. It was her parents' order to marry a matchmaker. However, they were still young and had to wait until they were twenty years old to be married.
The marriage must be consummated, and the royal power must meet the conditions she is satisfied with, otherwise the marriage will be abandoned!
Her disciples didn't know about this, so they were so angry. This happened because of her and ended with her.
Chapter completed!
