Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 269 Prince Donglu
Although they were called to reveal their identities, the four old men were not stupid. They knew that Shen Kuo and the others had no malicious intentions, otherwise they would have directly dealt with them before or would not have helped them at all.Now I know that there is no need to conceal their identities, and the identities of these people are definitely not ordinary. They are all sharp weapons such as unified standard knives and hand crossbows. Probably military.

The old man was sitting upright, and said: "This little brother is right. We are indeed from Donglu. Let me introduce to you who are doing this. This is Tian Qi, the eighteenth prince of Donglu. These two young People are the prince's guards Tian Ying and Tian Tian, ​​and this old man is just a personal slave of His Royal Highness, Fan Ying."

After saying this, the people in the military intelligence department present were a little shocked. This is actually a prince of Donglu?Is there such a miserable royal family in this world?Think about the royal family in Beiyan. Even if they don't have any inheritance rights in the future, although they may not have much real power in their hands, the court will still support their basic living conditions. At least becoming a rich man is not a problem. If you work harder and learn Manage a little business, and the family must live in luxury.

As a result, the Prince Donglu who appeared in front of them saw that the clothes were just some ordinary dyed cloth, and they were not made of high-quality silk. In addition, these people had very few elixirs, so it was no wonder that they had some military intelligence. Si's eyes were full of suspicion.These can't be four liars.

The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and it was obvious that the young man, it should be said that Tian Qi might have gotten used to this situation, or that he had seen too much and no longer had any emotional fluctuations.

He opened his mouth and said with a slightly childish voice: "What Uncle Fan said just now is true. I am indeed the eighteenth prince of Donglu. Maybe you can't believe it, but it was you who saved us from the fire and water today. We are kind, please listen to what I have to say." After hearing Tian Qi Qi's words, the old man and the young man and woman did not speak. Instead, they sat on the ground with respect on their faces and listened quietly to Tian Qi Qi's words. My own stories, although many of them are real events that they have experienced, and there are many feelings in them.

And everyone in the Military Intelligence Department gave the eighteenth prince from Donglu enough respect, and even a few people quickly set up a small pot on the fire and started to warm the wine.You have stories and we have wine, so we both complement each other.Although I don't know if he came to Beiyan to take refuge as they said, to find helpers, or whether the two sides will have some intersection in the future, sitting here and listening to a person they rarely get in touch with on weekdays The royal family's introduction to their lives will become a great source of conversation for them after dinner or even over the wine table in the future.

In the future, when you are dying, you can still hold the hand of your children and grandchildren and say that your father was the prince who saved Donglu back then, told stories and even drank with the prince. That is a prestige.The life of the royal family, which was quite mysterious in the eyes of the Military Intelligence Department, has also begun to reveal the tip of the iceberg to them. There is not only the bright side of prosperity and wealth, but also many weird and unpredictable things that are more complicated and changeable than those in the world.

Donglu, as one of the five countries in the Central Plains, has a very good geographical location, coupled with affluent life, so most of the people in Donglu are white and tender, eat seafood from the river, wear silk and satin, and have money in their hands, even if they are ordinary The people's family can have some gold and silver in a year. It can be said that among the five countries, the people of Donglu are the happiest, with more money in their hands, and it can even be said that they have achieved a well-off life.

Many people can live well by doing some small business, planting land and fishing. In addition, the impact of water and soil is rarely affected by famine, so many people don't need to go to the homes of big men to serve as slaves or handmaids at all.However, as the servants of some nobles in Donglu, many of them came from the slave trade. They bought them from Ren Yazi and trained them well. Some people who could not live for various reasons sold themselves to Donglu in order to make a living.

The biggest one here will belong to the Donglu royal family.The eunuchs and maids in the palace could not be recruited so many from the private sector, and almost no household could not afford to eat, so there was no need to have to eat imperial food.Only those with ambitions in their hearts thought of sneaking into the palace to see if they could soar into the sky.It was against this background that Tian Qi's mother came to Donglu.

Tian Qi's mother is from South Vietnam. The skin of women in Wuyue land is fairer and more delicate than that of northern women, their waists are also more slender, and their temperament is as warm as water. Such a person is very good after training in Ren Yazi's hands. maid.

Tian Qingqi's mother did not have a name that was obviously a servant like Jinse at first, named Qiu Shui.Because she trained very well in Renyazi, especially in calligraphy and dancing, she was soon bought into the palace by the Donglu royal family at a high price and became a dancing girl.Every day's work is dancing. Lu Di dances when he is bored. When entertaining others, they, the Jiaofangsi people, also have to come out and perform.Qiu Shui also frequently appeared in front of Lu Di, but one day something happened. Lu Di drunkenly dragged Qiu Shui to his bed, and was shot.Qiushui soon became pregnant.However, Emperor Lu just took advantage of the wine that night, and he really had some thoughts about Qiu Shui, and finally gave him a title at will, becoming Qiu Meiren.

At that time, Emperor Lu already had seventeen sons and didn't pay much attention to the No. 18 he was pregnant with, but Youdao was as deep as the sea as soon as he entered the palace.Some of them who were not pregnant were naturally extremely jealous. Anyway, Qiu Meiren was not taken seriously by Emperor Lu, so she did everything evil.Thanks to Qiu Mei's alertness, she was always cautious, and she treated the few palace people around her very well. After all the hard work, she finally gave birth to Tian Buqi.

This name was chosen by Emperor Lu himself, which obviously expressed his dislike for the No. 18 sons. Let's look at the other sons of Emperor Lu, Tian Hongjiang, Tian Hongwen, Tian Hongzhi, etc. First, they didn't express Emperor Lu's expectations for them, but they only became unable to afford it when they arrived at Lao Shiba.I just don’t want my son to get up.

Qiu Meiren contracted some postpartum diseases due to childbirth, and her body and bones were not as good as before. Her already somewhat tight life became even more difficult with the addition of another mouth.They were always suppressed, or looked down upon, by some powerful figures in the palace. They simply looked down upon their mother and son. They were short on monthly salary, firewood and the like.Even when you go to the hospital to get medicine, you can't get [-]% of it. From other people's perspective, you mother and son are not taken seriously at all. Why use so many things? Why don't you give some to others.

Tian Qiqi gradually grew up in this bad environment.When he was three or four years old, according to the rules, the palace would invite some people to teach the prince literature and martial arts, but in the end they sent a scumbag who didn’t know where he came from. The personal eunuch beside the lady is Gao.There is no place to reason, and no one will care.Mrs. Suo Xingqiu personally taught Tian Qi to read and write, and she didn't care about any palace schemes such as fighting for favor. She just wanted to let her son grow up safely, and Tian Qi's martial arts were taught by Fan Ying Yes, it's just that his talent is not good and his progress is slow. After learning some basic internal sword skills, he has some ability to protect himself.

Tian Qi is growing up day by day, while Qiu Meiren's physical condition is declining day by day. Years passed away.In the huge palace, there is only a young child, a loyal old eunuch and several young maids and eunuchs.

After Mrs. Qiu was gone, Tian Qiu's life became even more difficult. In the past, those people saw that Mrs. Qiu and Emperor Lu had a night of kindness as husband and wife, so they didn't make things too difficult. But after Mrs. Qiu is gone, what kind of pills, Jewelry and the like never appeared again, and the monthly salary was even more severely deducted.It's hard to imagine that, as the prince of Donglu, Tian Qi had to run around for his daily food and drink when he was a child.

I grow vegetables in the palace where I live, and when I go to the school to listen to lectures, I will be laughed at by my brothers and sisters.In this way, he lived until he was 16 years old, and Tian Qi became a little fresh meat in the past, and the person who was still loyal to him was left with an aging old eunuch and a pair of companions. Watching him grow up, the little eunuch and the little maid who were a few years older.

Not everyone could persevere in the eight years of discrimination and oppression. Some people who had endured hardships together could not survive the sugar-coated bullets in the end, and they all left the fields.In the past ten years of life in the palace, Tian Qiqi has become more and more peaceful about such things. He has nothing to do with other people's opinions. Now he can only protect himself cautiously. If his life is gone, he still cares about those reputations. What's the point of opinion?
The 16-year-old prince in Donglu will no longer live in the palace, but will move to an outside mansion.It was their own residence, and the courtyard Tian Qiqi was assigned was still the palace of King Anle.It's just that King Anle had been slaughtered by Emperor Lu for some trumped-up charges many years ago, and he couldn't afford this place, the meaning of which can be seen.

Tian Buqi felt relieved when he went outside, he could finally get rid of some rules and regulations inside the palace, and he could finally do some things he likes.Like his mother, Mrs. Qiu, Tian Qi is good at writing, even better than blue, and has a good talent in drawing.When I go outside, sometimes I go out to visit the mountains and rivers, and sometimes I paint a few calligraphy and paintings by myself to exchange for some gold and silver.

But a disaster still happened. Tian couldn't get drunk on the day of Mrs. Qiu's death. When he was in high spirits, he wrote a poem about strange beasts to satirize Mrs. Qiu's unfair life. As a result, he was stabbed the next day. Ludi's there.Originally, Emperor Lu didn't have a good impression of this son, but he dared to ridicule himself.Directly ordered to be transferred to the vassal king, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict for life.The fief is a dilapidated county seat in a remote area of ​​Eastern Shandong, and the surrounding bandits are rampant. The county seat is full of aristocratic families of brown sugar, which is a piece of chicken ribs for the imperial court.What's even more exaggerated is that Emperor Yan also revoked all the honors of Mrs. Qiu's life, which to Tian Qi is an insult to the person he respects the most in his life.A wave of evil fire rushed up, and the blood rushed to the brain, which was easily uncontrollable. Tian Qi did one thing that can be said to be the most exaggerated and courageous thing since he was a child.

On weekdays, the fourth prince Tian Hongwu who despises him the most is the fourth prince Tian Hongwu. His martial arts talent is outstanding, and it can be said that he is very popular with Emperor Lu.

Tian couldn't afford to implement a bold plan. He deliberately pretended to be his grandson to invite his good fourth brother to drink, and even used the money he had saved over the years to curry favor with Tian Hongwu. At first Tian Hongwu still looked disdainful, but Tian I'm sorry, but I brought the spirit of licking dogs to the extreme, quite a bit like Goujian, the King of Yue on Blue Star, did to Fucha. I bought one of my own dogs, the kind that refers to hitting there.

Then Tian Qi directly served a large amount of fine wine when Tian Hongwu was invited to a banquet. He knew that Tian Hongwu liked it.Out of caution, Tian Hongwu checked to see if there was anything unclean in it before drinking it, and he didn't see Tian Qi's cold light on the side.After drinking a few jars, Tian Hongwu felt a little thirsty and his throat was a little hot. Tian Qi brought water for him to drink in time. Seeing Tian Hongwu drink it, the light in his eyes became brighter.

This is a kind of poison called Wudan. Tian Qiqi accidentally got a prescription. If this poison is simply put in wine, it can be regarded as a tonic, which can nourish people's Dantian meridians.However, if you add a colorless and odorless poison to the water and take it with cold water, the two will start to react in the body. At the beginning, the Dantian will become fuller and fuller. This may seem like a benefit, but it is actually improving the Dantian. The burst of energy accumulates, and the dormant period of its attack can last as long as half a month. Tian Hongwu was hit by the attack without even realizing it.

But Tian Qi took Fan Ying, Tian Ying and Tian Tian to run away that night. Half a month later, when the toxin broke out, the fourth prince Tian Hongwu's dantian was damaged, and his martial arts regressed. The others have already approached the boundary of Beiyan.If he sent experts to capture him, there would definitely be a conflict with the Beiyan people, so Emperor Lu had no choice but to use Feiliu Ninja.
