The general of Qingjiang Kingdom, with his own strength, defeated the elite soldiers of the northern country and rescued the princess of Yushu Kingdom.
However, the general did not tell him that he fell in love with the princess of Yushu Kingdom. Instead, he pretended to take the princess back to Qingjiang Kingdom, take her as a prisoner, and blackmail Yushu Kingdom into surrendering.
The princess naturally refused to agree, but after several days of running around, the princess was no longer a match for the general.
The general tied the princess to the horse and took Lianhe back to Qingjiang Kingdom.
On the way back home, the general secretly cared for the princess, which could be said to be meticulous. The princess didn't know all this, but Lianhe did.
Because every time the general wanted to give water to the princess, he would ask Lianhe to help.
Along the way, they encountered bandits several times, and it was up to the general to protect the two of them.
After finally returning to Qingjiang Kingdom, the king of Qingjiang Kingdom personally came out of the city to greet him. When he saw that the general had really captured the princess of Yushu Kingdom, he was so happy that he gave the general the title "General Qingjiang" on the spot.
The title of the general after the name of the country shows that the general's prestige in Qingjiang Kingdom had reached its peak at that time.
But when he heard that the leader of Qingjiang State beheaded the princess of Yushu State in public, the general felt like he heard a bolt from the blue.
He persuaded her several times, but could not change the king's intention to use the princess of Yushu to establish his authority.
In desperation, the general can only prepare in private and go to the execution site alone on the day of the princess' execution!
On the day of the execution, the people in the capital of Qingjiang gathered beside the moat to watch the beheading of the princess of Yushu.
But at the critical moment, the general rushed into the execution ground single-handedly like a god from heaven and took the princess away by force.
When the king learned about this, he was furious and sent troops to hunt down and kill the two men.
The two of them ran all the way and fled to the Yalong River, but were blocked by this wide river.
Facing the pursuers, the two finally understood each other's intentions and no longer faced each other with swords, but fought side by side.
The two men joined forces and killed more than 400 pursuers in total. In the end, they were exhausted and defeated. Both of them were seriously injured, knowing that their end was approaching.
They would rather die than bow to the leader of Qingjiang Kingdom or the great northern country, so they both threw themselves into the river!
The story ends here.
Lianhe, who survived, recorded the incident and it became this ancient book.
At the end of the ancient book, there seems to be Lianhe's last words. She said that the princess treated her like a sister. Now that she is alone in the enemy's country, there is no meaning in living. Therefore, after leaving behind the poignant love story of the princess and the general, she will escape from Qingjiang.
The capital of the country, went to the Yalong River to find the bodies of the princess and the general.
Even if she died on the road, she would not hesitate.
After clarifying the story, Yan Shouyi fell deeply into it and could not extricate himself for a long time.
The general of Qingjiang Kingdom and the princess of Yushu Kingdom were originally talented men and beautiful women, and they admired each other. However, the war between the two countries could not tolerate their small love.
In the end, their love was witnessed in this bloody way.
In fact, because there are still many damaged places in the ancient books, the story Yan Shouyi saw is not perfect.
For example, he still doesn't know the name of the general, the name of the princess, or which country the great northern country is.
He also didn't know where Qingjiang Kingdom and Yushu Kingdom should be placed now.
The only place that overlaps with the present is the Yalong River.
Although the story has been clarified, there are still more than half of the pages in the ancient book that Yan Shouyi has not deciphered.
Those records contain some characters that Yan Shouyi cannot understand. They may be characters unique to the Yushu Kingdom.
Including the star map, there are still many doubts.
"This story..."
Long Feicheng choked up and said: "Titanic is much more touching than Romeo and Juliet. If a director can make this story into a movie, it will definitely be a hit!"
Even Zhang Shantong lamented:
"I didn't expect to see such love in these troubled times."
Yan Shou nodded:
"It's a pity that the two of them just revealed their true feelings, so they no longer have the chance to stay together."
I have finished reading the story, but it seems that the skull mark is not mentioned in the story from beginning to end.
Therefore, if you want to thoroughly understand other clues in the ancient books, you still need to study slowly, and even need Yan Qiu's help.
At this time, Yan Shouyi received a call from Lin Zitong.
It turned out that she was already outside Xihu Yaju, and she called Yan Shou to ask Yan Shou to pick her up from downstairs.
"You guys wait for me a moment, I'll go pick up Zitong."
Yan Shou said hello and walked out of the private room.
At this moment, several bosses walked out of the Yazi private room.
From the open door, the two Taoist priests briefly made eye contact with Yan Shouyi.
Yan Shouyi also wondered why there were two Taoist priests living in this elegant West Lake residence.
Judging from their attire, they should be Taoist priests practicing Jingming Tao, and they are actually somewhat related to the Lushan Sect.
However, there are too many branches of Taoism in the world, and there are countless large and small Taoist temples, but there are only a few truly capable Taoist priests among them.
So Yan Shouyi didn't mind his own business, didn't take these two Taoist priests to heart, and went downstairs to pick up Lin Zitong.
However, after he left, the two Taoist priests looked very strange.
Taoist Gao directly called the broker and asked him to ask the other bosses who were waiting for fortune telling to wait a moment. They had something to discuss.
After sending the broker away, the short Taoist priest closed the door and immediately asked the tall Taoist priest:
"Senior brother, was that person just now...?"
"It's him!!"
A stern look flashed in Taoist Gao's eyes: "It's absolutely true, that boy looks exactly like Yan Qiu when he was young. I can recognize him even if he turns to ashes!"
The short Taoist priest said in surprise: "So, he is the descendant of Lu Ban? The young master of the Yan family...should be him, right?! He is the son of Yan Chou!"
"It must be!"
Taoist Gao took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down.
Then he burst out laughing:
"It's really hard to find anywhere. It took no effort to get here. No matter how hard it is, I can't believe that the Yan family is actually hiding in this Rongcheng, and they are so high-profile that they directly occupy the West Lake of Rongcheng!"
"That's very good. Yan Chou has many enemies in Xuanmen. It was just a matter of not finding him before. Now that he shows up on his own initiative, his enemies will definitely come looking for him!"
"I don't know if Yan Chou is nearby, but it doesn't matter. I will kill Yan Chou's son first, and then go to settle the accounts with Yan Chou. I will return the revenge of the sword to their Yan family in full.
!!”
Taoist Gao said, with a fierce light in his eyes.
He has been looking for Yan Chou for more than ten years.
Now that my enemies meet, they are extremely jealous!
And now that they are in the dark and Yan Shouyi is in the light, they only need to use their brains a little to easily put Yan Shouyi into a situation of eternal destruction!
Taoist Gao couldn't help laughing when he thought that his enemy was about to see his child suffer!
