Chapter 1 The fire in the Taiping Courtyard

In the 57th year of the Qing Dynasty, a fire broke out in the Taiping Villa on the banks of Liujing River outside Kyoto. The fire was very big, and the rolling smoke gathered together for a long time, like a thick dark cloud covering the upper part of the villa.

In the courtyard, countless powerful martial arts men in black waved their butcher knife cruelly and ruthlessly. The swords they fell were never hesitant.

What is incredible is that the courtyards of wealthy families like Taiping Villa often have extremely strict fire prevention measures. Even if a house catches fire, the fire cannot burn so much in a short period of time. There are usually many experts in the villa. Today, the man in black rushed into the hospital under the fire. Those people seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.

A servant rushed out of the killing of the man in black with a cradle in his arms and also out of the boundless fire. The price was that several deep bone-striking marks appeared behind him. His entire face was deformed, and flames were still burning on his trousers legs after rushing out of the villa.

But the baby in the cradle was intact, his face was still white and tender, but the baby's eyes were tightly closed, as if he was sleeping very well.

The fire in the other courtyard was soaring, and wailing sounds were everywhere. Even if the baby could sleep, how could he sleep in such a tragic environment?

...

The servant didn't understand why the young master did this. Was it just for the woman who was like a god?

So when he kicked the woman's room and looked at the baby who was breathless on the ground, he didn't believe that the young master was dead, and he absolutely didn't believe it.

He didn't run fast because his legs had been burned black, and blood was flowing on the surface of the skin that seemed to be coke, but he ran very hard, and his exposed gums were tightly biting by the fire.

A blade flashed in the dark night, his legs separated from his body, and he fell to the ground. Because he ran very hard, the cradle he was holding flew out of his arms when he fell. He looked at the child in the cradle with despair and extremely blame, and his arms were waving like a madman on the ground...

"That's stupid."

A man in black raised his steel knife and inserted it hard on his head.

The night was dark, and the servant's face was already unrecognizable. When the man in black waved the butcher knife, he did not see the servant laughing. The smile was not a ruthless act of mocking someone, nor was it a laugh at his incompetence and not protecting the young master, but a smile that was so relieved that he should have looked very good.

...

When the cradle flew out, the baby in the cradle opened his eyes. He learned about his situation in a very short time, and soon his eyes fell on the servant whose legs were cut off. He did not cry like a normal baby, but just looked at the servant tightly until he felt that he would not forget that face for many years, and then pursed his lips and smiled.

The cradle fell into the Liujing River and was not overturned by the water flow, but floated smoothly on the surface of the river.

Although he knew that the baby was dead, the man in black did not want the baby's body to go away with Liujing River. He kicked the servant's body away, and rushed towards the cradle in the river like a raccoon.

A cold arrow shot from nowhere and went straight through his body, waiting for his body to land on the ground. He saw three soldiers wearing black armor. It turned out that the speed of the Black Cavalry was as fast as the rumor was.

...

...

The terrain of Kyoto is flat, so the water of Liujing River is also very smooth. Sometimes it even gives people the feeling of water flowing still on the ground, so the cradle fell into the river and was not overturned under the water. It was still floating steadily outside the suburbs of Kyoto.

Ye Qi, who had experienced the shuttle between time and space, was already exhausted. Moreover, because this world was very different from before, the whole world was filled with inexplicable energy. After the system transferred the data of his previous time and space to the newborn baby, he seemed to appear under the extremely deep sea, and extremely powerful pressure was transmitted between his limbs and bones.

In order to fight against these pressures, he could only condense all his strength into flesh and blood. Therefore, in addition to the terrifying pressure from the outside world, he also had to withstand the pain several times stronger than Lingchi when his internal force condensed into flesh and blood.

However, after judging the situation of this poor child, he could not speak out to vent the great pain in his body. I don’t know how long it took, even though he had a strong will that surpassed most people in the world, he still fainted.

...

...

After leaving Kyoto, you will see a stone bridge thirty miles east along the river bank. There is a wide commercial road to the east of the stone bridge. The commercial road can directly lead to the south of the Qingguo Jiangnan. Then go east and you can go to Dongyi City, which is located in a corner of the sea and mountains.

Let’s talk about Dongyi City, which was originally a small city in the State of Song, and Song State was a small vassal state under the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty. A few years ago, because of the rapid rise of Nanqing, the prince of Qing State who was good at fighting defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was in peace and tide. Later, because the Northern Wei general Zhan Qingfeng took the opportunity to seize power and establish the Northern Qi regime. Song State and other former Northern Wei vassal states took advantage of this chaotic era and became independent.

In the present era, Nanqing's military advance is invincible in the world. Northern Qi took over the Northern Wei to replace it. It should be the two most powerful countries in the world. Song State happened to be between Northern Qi and Nan Qing, and should have been eroded by the two major countries. In fact, when Nan Qing consumed the huge benefits of the war, after Northern Qi reorganized the old mountains and rivers, he began to sharpen his sword and regard Song State as a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

However, a few years ago, a swordsman from a great master appeared in Dongyi City, Song State. The swordsman walked out of Dongyi City and released two swords, which forced the two powerful countries to stop. The swordsman was called Sigu Jian.

In order to compete with the two powerful countries, Sigu Jian sat alone in Dongyi City and united countless small countries around Song State. However, people in Northern Qi and Nanqing know that swordsmen's approach is a bit idiotic, because even if you integrate those small countries together, they are not our united enemy. When the swordsmen die, those countries will still be fat sheep.

But Sigu Jian is a great master. When he goes out of the city, he is at most in his forties. After his death, who knows whether Nanqing and Beiqi still have the ability to regard the small country around Dongyi City as a fat sheep?

...

If you achieve success in martial arts practice, you will never be able to stay on the mountain and spend all your time practicing swords. Two years ago, Yun Zhilan left Dongyi City with his sword. First, he went to the Northern Qi River and Lake to hone his swordsmanship, and then went to the south of Nanqing and swept countless famous swordsmen. Then he felt that the realm was loose and he finally broke through and entered the ninth grade.

The purpose of his departure from Dongyi City was to break the territory. In the Qing Kingdom, which could be seen everywhere in the Supervisory Office, he could not really do anything, so he rode a horse along the commercial road in Jiangnan.

After traveling half a month from Jiangnan, he came to a stone bridge. He was thinking about whether to go to Kyoto, Qingguo, when he suddenly saw a cradle floating under the bridge. The baby in the cradle did not cry. He looked at himself with his eyes open. The eyes were so bright, like the stars at night, no, it was more like the sword light that the master drew his sword.
