Prince Aqiu said very unwillingly: "Why do we have to swallow our anger? I am the eldest son. The position of king should belong to me."

"The primogeniture system has been passed down for thousands of years, but unexpectedly it was broken in my hands. How can I face the previous suzerains." The more the old man said, the more sad he became.

"So." Prince Aqiu's eyes burst into a strong light: "We have to stand up and resist. Although the influence of the gods is not as great as before, but as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. We may not lose if we fight head-on. Tomorrow, he will enter the palace on the grounds of sickness, stay by his father’s side, and wait for an opportunity. The suzerain will go to lobby General Bull. In the entire Shendu Kingdom, only he can compete with Nan En. At that time, we will cooperate from the inside out, and the entire Shendu Kingdom will The country is our world."

The old man looked at him quietly, which made Prince Aqiu feel a little guilty.

"Do you know why you lost?"

Prince Aqiu gritted his teeth: "It's not the last moment, it's still unknown who will win."

The old man shook his head, "I once read the writings of a sage in Huaguo, who said that those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the way will be helped little. With a short history of ten years, it has won the hearts of the people. Although the religion has a history of thousands of years, it has not kept up with the pace of the times and will be eliminated one day. Just like me, an old man who is dying, I always want to Those who go into the coffin, this day has finally come."

The old man's expression was not sure whether it was regret or relief. He just stared at the sunlight outside the window, as if staring at the end of an era.

Prince Aqiu suddenly panicked, "Sovereign, you can't abandon me, I only have you, if even you abandon me, there is no place for me."

"Prince." The old man was as patient as ever. "You come from a noble family, and you have been going smoothly without any setbacks. But because of this, you have no ability to resist risks. When encountering a little thing, you will only act impulsively, regardless of the consequences. This is your Achilles' heel. If a ruler cannot control his emotions, he will bring great harm to his subjects, which is a big taboo."

"Princess Landa, you made a big mistake. Not only did the other party take advantage of it, but you also completely lost Princess Landa's trust. You are so stupid."

"This is the last time this old man will help you. You will have to go on your own way from now on."

After Prince Aqiu left, the old man sat there quietly, watching the sunset and a sense of insecurity swept over him.

"Is the religion really going to be destroyed in my hands?" the old man murmured, quite regretful.

"Sovereign, it's not a complete defeat now. The religion has long been merged with the kingship. How could the little Saha religion be able to contend? The prince's method just now is not unfeasible."

The old man quietly glanced at his entourage who had been with him for decades, and the entourage who looked at him was terrified, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

"Subordinates should not speak nonsense, please punish the suzerain."

"I can fight to the death with the Saha Sect, but in the end, there must be rivers of blood, and the people will suffer at that time. In fact, I want to thank the emergence of the Saha Sect. They dare to be the first and have enough courage and courage. I am very happy Appreciate the style of the Holy Master, if it is not because of the position, I think we should be able to talk a lot, but unfortunately, I am the suzerain, the suzerain of the divine religion."

As long as you have read history, you will know that every royal power will eventually perish. This is the inevitability of the feudal era. He has never been out of the island in his life, but the changes outside are changing with each passing day. After some reforms, the final outcome is bound to become decayed, and eventually rotten and stinks.

He is the suzerain of the divine religion, but at the same time he is also a citizen of the divine kingdom. More than anyone else in this country, he hopes that the country will get better and better, and the people will be prosperous and healthy.

He couldn't do it, someone did.

"I have been working hard all my life to maintain the kingship, but I knew from the very beginning that this day would come sooner or later, but I never thought it would be so soon."

The old man sat withered, like an old tree about to die. He looked at the country he had guarded all his life, with both regret and relief.

"It's time to meet the Holy Lord."

——

Princess Landa went to play on the street the next day, and she only let Gu Zhe guards accompany her alone. The streets here are very lively, full of small vendors, full of people, which Princess Landa has never seen before. The scene, she found it very novel, and she would buy anything delicious and interesting when she saw it.

It is also the first time for Der Spiegel to see the real face of this country. It is different from the description of the outside world. Although some features of the feudal society are still preserved here, it is also not coerced by the impetuous atmosphere of modern society, and the people are happy. Wealthy, everyone's face is filled with contented smiles.

People here also use mobile phones and TVs, but they are only used as tools. They also watch the news. The news is not closed, but the colorful world can’t tempt them. The wife will cook a delicious meal with her heart , the child will do homework seriously, and the husband will come back from work, gather at a dining table, watch TV dramas, and eat a delicious dinner while watching TV dramas. What they enjoy is real happiness.

Compared with those empty beautiful scenery, this place is more human-like, and it is the real paradise.

"I always thought that this country was ignorant, backward, and uneducated. I didn't expect that I was overthinking it. I like it very much." Landa walked through the crowd with a smile, and stretched out her arms to welcome the happiness within reach.

Ming Jing was walking beside her, Landa sprained her ankle suddenly, and was about to fall to the side, Ming Jing quickly grabbed her, and Landa naturally slipped into Ming Jing's arms.

Landa touched her chest strangely, "You here..."

Ming Jing let go of her, took a step back, and said indifferently, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Landa glanced at her resentfully: "A big man, why are you so stingy, this princess will not lose a piece of meat if you touch it."

Speaking of which, Landa's eyes fluttered around her chest ambiguously: "I didn't expect you to be so thin, and your chest muscles are quite well developed. Honestly, how many abdominal muscles do you have? I won't laugh at you if you lack one."

Spiegel: ...

Pursing her lips, Ming Jing walked around her, and Landa hurried to catch up: "Say it quickly, or I will let you strip your clothes when I go back. Do you dare to disobey this princess' order?"

There was a crowd of people ahead, and a girl's cry and a man's scolding could be heard faintly.

Landa was immediately attracted to it, and regardless of how many abs Ming Jing had, she squeezed through the crowd and rushed in.

It was a little girl in her teens who was crying. A big bearded man was pulling the girl, trying to take her away from the street, but the girl refused, crying very sadly.

"Abba, please don't marry me into Saijia's family. I want to continue my education. I don't want to marry anyone."

When the girl said that, everyone was shocked.

The big man's face was livid: "What nonsense are you talking about, when will Dad want you to marry, don't you have a fever and be confused?" After saying that, he was about to pull the girl away forcefully.

The girl struggled desperately, "No, I don't want to go back." Her face was terrified.

The onlookers watched and said to the man, "Is what your daughter said true? Do you really want her to marry?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense. This child had a high fever a few days ago, and his brain is a little burnt out. He talks insanely. Don't believe it."

Everyone looked at the man suspiciously.

"Let her go." A gentle male voice split the noisy crowd and landed in everyone's ears.

The best voice Der Spiegel has ever heard is from Qu Feitai. He is a singer, and his voice is very good. His fans once commented that his voice can make people's ears pregnant.

Although this description is exaggerated, it is very appropriate. For example, the sound falling on the ear at this moment, Ding Jing thinks, is indeed the sound of nature that will make the ear pregnant. The moon in between is incredibly gentle.

She subconsciously followed the prestige, and a young man in a white robe walked out from the crowd. Ming Jing had never seen a man who could dress in white so extraordinary, and merged with his holy soul into a gentle The true color makes people feel that the wind is clear and the moon is bright at a glance.

His outstanding temperament often makes people ignore that face, but Ming Jing sees through the boundless abyss in those dark eyes at a glance. It is a mysterious world that subconsciously attracts people to explore, dangerous but charming.

At that moment, Ming Jing thought, she smelled a familiar smell.

Familiarity made her soul tremble.

At this moment, as if receiving some kind of induction, the man's eyes accurately fell on Ming Jing's body, and in just a short second, he moved away without a trace.

When the bearded man saw a strange man suddenly appearing to spoil him, he couldn't help cursing: "Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in my family affairs? Go away, don't delay me teaching my children."

But the man didn't answer his words. He squatted down, made eye contact with the little girl, and said in an almost coaxing voice, "Tell brother, is he your father?"

The little girl hesitated and nodded.

"Is he going to marry you into Saijia's family? Don't be afraid, speak out bravely, and brother will help you."

The little girl carefully glanced at the bearded man, and in the warning eyes of the bearded man, she said loudly: "I haven't burnt out my brain, my father lied, my father took a lot of money from Saijia, and promised to marry me to Saija!" Jia Jia, Saijia is a fool, he only loses his temper and hits people, I want to go to school, I don't want to marry a fool."

It was too late for the bearded man to cover the girl's mouth. He was grabbed by a boy in a black guard uniform, his arms were cut behind his back, and he was forced to kneel on the ground.

The man glanced at the young man, with a slight smile in his eyes, like spring wind turning into rain, which made people feel profound.

He nodded slightly to show his gratitude, got up slowly, and said to the bearded man indifferently: "You probably haven't read the new laws and regulations issued by the country. Every child, regardless of gender, has the right to education before adulthood. This is the future of a country. You force a young girl to marry, not only being a father, but also disregarding the laws of the country. You need to go to prison and reform, and I hope you can realize your mistakes."

Although the man's voice was gentle, it possessed an unquestionable power that deeply shocked everyone present.

Yes, the current Shendu Kingdom is different from the past. Minors cannot marry. Whether it is forced or voluntary, it is a violation of the law. The laws of the country cannot be trampled. It will make people feel at ease.

In the previous Shendu Kingdom, as a woman, she was destined to be a tragedy from birth. In this country where the religion controls the kingship, all the people sacrificed for the kingship. Women came to this world only as a tool to carry on the family line. They will not be free for the rest of their lives, and eventually they will pass on this mission to the next generation of women like a plague, and they will be completely rotten from generation to generation.

They live by clinging to patriarchy, they do not enjoy any power in their life, they only have the mission of working hard like nanny, what is education? Even a woman from an aristocratic family will not be able to step out of the transition from patriarchal power to child power throughout her life.

Without seeing the broader landscape, they would not know how humble and ridiculous their lives are.

Until one day, the Holy Lord appeared, and he brought the idea of ​​overturning the religion, which was almost earth-shattering. Those men were deeply angry. They felt that they were provoked and ridiculed. They decided to teach this ignorant Holy Lord a lesson. .

The Holy Lord is great. He has changed the future of a country. His followers are increasing. Those ridiculous men will eventually be drowned by the torrent of history, and the narrow old thinking will eventually come to an end.

Young girls will not be forced to marry, and they will struggle in the vortex of childbearing all their lives. They sit in classrooms with bright and clean windows, read the thoughts of Shengming, and see a vast world in books.

How can there be a man without a woman?

This kind of questioning made everyone start to reflect. Once class was insurmountable, and there was a huge gap between men and women, which was doomed from birth.

But the Holy Lord told them that whether it is solidified class or gender discrimination, it is wrong. Maybe it used to conform to the development of the times, but now it is wrong.

Wrong things are destined to be overthrown. A brand new era is beckoning to them. As a participant, each of them feels extremely honored.

Guards in silver armor came in and took the bearded man away.

There was a look of panic on the little girl's face, and the man gently touched her head: "It's not terrible to make mistakes, as long as you know how to correct your mistakes, he will still be your father."

The little girl nodded half understanding.

Someone in the crowd said, "He is Prince Sangluo."

"Huh la la." The people all knelt on the ground: "I have seen His Royal Highness." Every face was respectful and pious.

In the past, only the eldest son of the king was eligible to inherit the country, but the Pasha leader abandoned this old idea, and he supported Prince Sang Luo, an illegitimate son from a humble background.

Facts have proved that Prince Sangluo is more of a monarch than the stupid and arrogant Prince Aqiu.

They believed in the Lord's choice, and seeing Prince Sang Luo with their own eyes, they were even more convinced that this choice was extremely wise and correct.

"Please get up quickly." Prince Sang Luo personally helped up an old man who was kneeling in the front.

"Your Highness, you are wise and powerful, and we all believe in you."

"I believe in you, Prince Sangluo." The crowd responded with a wave of arms, and the picture was very spectacular.

There was no pride on Prince Sang Luo's face, he looked rather ashamed: "Sang Luo will definitely live up to your trust."

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Landa stepped forward, frowning and looking at the man.

"So you are Prince Sangluo."

"His Royal Highness came from afar, and Sang Luo failed to go to greet her in person. I hope that Her Royal Highness will forgive me."

"It's easy to say." Landa waved her hand. She could see that this Sang Luo was not a superficially dressed beast like Aqiu, but she subconsciously felt that the man in front of him might be more dangerous than Aqiu, because she completely saw Can't see through him.

"Thank you, brother guard, for helping me just now." Sang Luo looked at the boy in black who had been standing silently, and thanked him politely.

The young man raised his eyes, "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, this is the duty of your subordinates."

The man smiled and shook his head: "I have long heard that Her Royal Highness has a guard with strong martial arts by her side, who has rescued the princess several times. Seeing her today, she really lives up to her reputation."

Ming Jing raised her eyelids, and when she looked closely, she realized that the man's face was unusually handsome. His eye sockets were deep, making his dark eyes look deep and blurred. approachable.

However, the extraordinarily stern and sharp sense of the facial features neutralized the intimacy. Looking at it at first glance, I only felt that it was unbelievably handsome and noble. It reminded Ming Jing of those gods in Greek mythology that he had seen in Western temples. All people in the world are only qualified to look up to them devoutly.

In such profound facial features, the bright mirror can see a bit of grace from the East, so the pair of pitch-black eyes are so charming, which comes from the remoteness and mystery accumulated in the Eastern country for thousands of years.

Ming Jing had never seen the face of the old king, but she thought that the matrilineal family of Prince Sang Luo must have blood from the East.

While she was looking at Prince Sangluo, Prince Sangluo was also looking at her. The shallow ripples in his eyes made Mingjing aware of the danger. This was the first time that Mingjing felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

He might have seen through her disguise.

"Of course, my guard must be the most powerful." Princess Landa didn't realize the undercurrent between the two at all, and she was happy when others praised Guzhe.

"It's still early. If the princess doesn't dislike it, why don't I take the princess to play in this city. There are many special snacks, the princess must have never eaten."

Princess Landa had a good impression of him, and she nodded cheerfully: "Okay."

The three of them strolled until the lights came on, and Landa patted Sang Luo on the shoulder: "I really admire you, you, a prince, are so fond of all kinds of snacks and gadgets, and you can hide everything hidden in the corners of your mouth." find out."

Sang Luo smiled: "I grew up in Guyun City, and no one is more familiar with the bricks and tiles here than me."

"Okay, I had a good time today, and we will come out together again when we have a chance."

"Anytime."

Prince Sangluo sent Landa outside the princess palace, and watched her walk in with the guards in black. It was not until the gate of the palace was closed that Prince Sangluo turned and left slowly along the street.

He walked and walked, and finally came to a secluded alley, where there were no lights and it was pitch black.

"Just here, don't hurt innocent people."

In the darkness, black shadows appeared from different angles and surrounded Sang Luo.

The man in white was so different under the moonlight. Surrounded by murderous intent, he didn't panic at all, and still had a calm demeanor.

"Today is the day of your death." The leading man in black uttered harsh words, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates rushed up from all directions.

The night wind blew the man's clothes, and he stood there quietly. The moonlight shone down, reflecting a faint soft light on his whole body.

The man in black's knife came straight at his head, but before the man in black's eyes showed surprise, he was filled with fear that followed.

The moon turned blood-colored, and the darkness became the best cover for the killing field.

The man was tall and tall, and he never frowned from the beginning to the end. He said in a gentle voice: "Don't hurt your life."

In an instant, the men in black fell to the ground one by one, and the fear in the future could not dissipate in the pupils that shrank suddenly.

The four silver armored guards knelt on one knee, "Your subordinate is late, please forgive me, prince."

"You guys did a good job." The man walked forward with a smile, and the man in black grabbed the corner of his white robe.

With a "swish", the hand raised the knife and fell, accompanied by the painful scream of the man in black, the broken arm and the remaining blood flowed all over the ground.

The man shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "This is the one hundred and thirty second time that my elder brother assassinated me. My younger brother admires such a persistent spirit. If this spirit is used in the way of being a king, it must be the same. It won’t end up in the situation where everyone betrays their relatives.”

"You are also ordered by others. I will not hurt your lives. Go back and tell him that his stubbornness will only cause more innocent people to die because of him. These sins will eventually be reflected on himself. I hope he will do it for himself."

Sang Luo walked out of the dark alley, and the bustle of lights rushed towards his face. He suddenly stopped and looked up at the moon in the sky.

A pair of dark eyes appeared in his mind, very much like the color of the moon at this moment.

When he was very young, he liked to look at the moon. He thought that there must be a fairy living on the moon.

"Prince, the Lord wants to see you." The silver armored guard walked to his side and whispered.

"Understood." Sang Luo returned to the palace. After bathing, she changed into a white robe, and then walked to the holy temple by the river on the outskirts of the city.

Here is a paradise for all pilgrims, under the dark night, it is so holy and solemn.

Sang Luo walked on the Central Avenue. At night, it was unbelievably quiet, only the moonlight followed his footsteps.

After entering the main hall, he waited quietly. After a long silence, he looked at the priceless antique vases on the shelf.

No one knows that the Lord is actually a collector. He likes to collect all kinds of beautiful vases. These look beautiful and fragile under the light. They come from all over the world, but when traced back, they actually come from the same country.

Although he never said it, Sang Luo knew that he was thinking about it every moment.

The sound of light footsteps came, and when the gauze curtain was stirred, there was a faint fragrance.

Sang Luo bent down respectfully, and said in an almost pious tone: "Mother."

——

"Prince Sangluo's fate is actually very tragic. His mother is a lowly dancer. The lord of the country went out of the palace by chance and had a flirt with the dancer. After that, the old lord left the girl behind. At that time, the queen of the country was a princess from a neighboring country. The reputation of jealousy spread throughout the country. When she learned of the existence of this woman, she continued to persecute her. Fortunately, the dancer later gave birth to a boy. , the mother and son have been living a life of hiding in the east in Guyun City, and finally one day they were caught by the Empress of the Kingdom, and the Empress of the Kingdom sold the mother and son abroad. Unexpectedly, the ship encountered a storm at sea, and the Empress of the Kingdom always thought that the mother and son had died Buried in the sea, it was not until three years ago that Prince Sangluo suddenly appeared in Guyun City that everyone knew that Prince Sangluo survived the storm at sea that year. He has a good reputation in Gu Yun City, even more popular than Prince Aqiu."

Ah Wu told all about Prince Sangluo's life experience that he had inquired about in the past two days.

Randa fiddled with the jewelry on her finger, "What about his mother?"

Ah Wu shook his head: "It seems that he died in that storm."

"Tsk tsk, it's so pitiful, I can't help feeling a little sympathetic." Landa curled her lips ironically.

"Who is that holy master?"

Ah Wu even shook his head: "The people of Shendu Kingdom treat him like a god, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to discuss the Holy Lord in private."

"It's so mysterious. There must be a ghost. Forget it, I'm exhausted." Landa collapsed on the bed.

On the other side, Ming Jing returned to his room, and soon Jiang Jinchen and Huai Qing came and sneaked into the room.

"I heard that you met Prince Sang Luo today?" Huai Qing asked curiously.

Ming Jing shook his head; "In the future, don't approach him lightly."

Jiang Jinchen glanced at the mirror, hesitant to speak.

Ming Jing said to Huai Qing: "Sister Huai Qing, I want to eat your Yangchun noodles."

Huai Qing nodded her head with a smile: "Okay, I'll get it for you right now."

The words left in a hurry.

Ming Jing drank tea quietly.

"Mingjing, why don't we go back, I won't look for my mother anymore, we will leave tomorrow, no, we will leave now."

Here, it seems more dangerous than he imagined.

He can't let Ding Jing encounter danger again.

"It's late." Ming Jing said lightly.

"But……."

"Don't do things halfway. Although this place is more strange than I imagined, but after I met Prince Sang Luo today, I am sure that I am in the right place."

"Isn't he dangerous?"

"The danger I'm talking about is not life-threatening. On the contrary, he is a benevolent and righteous person. This is my intuition. He will be a good king, a good husband, just..."

Ming Jing narrowed his eyes: "I think, I will get the answer I thought of from him."

Jiang Jinchen suddenly felt flustered, he didn't know why Ming Jing had such a high opinion of that Prince Sang Luo, and what was so special about that man.

——

Three days later, the empress held a grand banquet at the palace lord to welcome Princess Landa.

Landa stepped into the majestic and majestic palace wearing a gorgeous dress and her personal guards.

She saw the queen of the country sitting on a high position, a beautiful woman in her fifties who was well maintained.

"Landa has seen the Empress." Landa has always been faultless in terms of etiquette, a standard court etiquette is dignified and graceful.

Empress Guo smiled and nodded: "What a beautiful child, speaking of it, you still have to call me aunt."

Of course, Landa knew that the royal family she belonged to had married many princesses due to marriages. If you look at the genealogy, this princess from a neighboring country has a kinship relationship with her, and she is called aunt in general. There is always nothing wrong.

She is the biological mother of Prince Aqiu, the culprit who persecuted Prince Sangluo's mother and son, but after the rise of the Saha Sect, she was emptied of power step by step, and now she only has the name of a queen, and she shows her face symbolically at the celebration banquet Forget it, it is no longer possible to control the situation.

On that face, Landa could vaguely see traces of the harshness of the past. Although she disguised it well, her eyes betrayed her.

Landa sneered in her heart, it was also the marriage that the empress used her last bit of power to lobby for. She wanted to increase the bargaining chip for her son to win the reserve, but she didn't know that because of her son's stupidity, she made a wedding dress for others in vain.

This pair of mother and son have noble identities, but they are so stupid that they finally lose the hearts of the people, and their fate is already doomed.

"aunt."

The Queen of the Kingdom was very satisfied with her obedience, stepped down from the main seat, and put the gem-encrusted gold bracelet on her arm: "The meeting gift from your aunt, I hope you like it."

Landa snorted from the bottom of her heart, but smiled on her face: "Thank you, aunt."

"Aqiu, I drank too much that day and did something wrong that offended the princess. I have already taught him a severe lesson. Can the princess give him another chance?"

"Really? Why do I think that Prince Aqiu did it on purpose? Seeing me as a foreign princess has no right to be bullied. Aunt, I actually like Prince Sangluo better. Do you think it's okay for me to marry him?"

Landa smiled and admired the embarrassment of the woman in front of her.

The empress looked at her with eyes almost bursting into flames, and endured it again and again without slapping her.

"Really? Actually, I also like that child Sang Luo, but his background is not worthy of the noble status of a princess."

"I don't care about these." Landa choked back directly.

There were quite a few nobles attending the banquet today, and those young girls looked at Landa with faint hostility.

Why did the queen of the country want to take advantage of this foreign princess? They are obviously better qualified.

Landa didn't care much about these eyes. In fact, she really enjoyed the feeling of being watched.

After Prince Sang Luo entered the table, the eyes of those noble girls became even more crazy and hot.

The Empress Dowager on the main seat has a gloomy expression, and now she can't even pretend anymore.

A banquet dispersed in a hurry.

"Let Aqiu enter the palace to see me." The empress knew that her palace had become a sieve, and there were eyeliners from the Saha Sect everywhere, but now she couldn't care less.

She had to show her last hole card ahead of time.

"You want me to marry General Bull's daughter?" Prince Aqiu was shocked.

"That's right, the suzerain's old man is too cowardly, and that bitch Landa doesn't know how to flatter her. If so, I won't save face for them. I have a debt of gratitude to Bull, and he will definitely agree to marry his daughter What about you, Nan En, he can't beat the wily Bull."

"But mother, I always feel uneasy, where is the Holy Lord..."

"Don't mention that slut to me." The queen of the country smashed a glazed lamp on the floor tiles, her eyes darkened.

"At the beginning, I tried my best to recruit her, but she was still unmoved. I thought it was okay, it took a long time, but I never thought that the reason why she kept her secret plan for so long was because of that bastard."

Thinking of this, she was so angry that she almost had a myocardial infarction. She missed the best opportunity to defeat Posa Sect, and let it develop and grow, and now it is unbreakable.

She will never forget the humiliation of that night. Her dignity as the empress of the country was severely trampled on. This is almost a nightmarish shame.

Intense hatred burst out from her eyes, almost swallowing everything.

"I don't believe it, she has no weakness, wait a minute, news will come soon, this time, I must unmask that bitch's hypocritical mask, and wipe out her and that bastard, no one can take it away My son's throne."
