Laughing at Chang'an

Dapanshi is a name in the Tang language, and its original meaning comes from the north.

This is a tribe of half-orcs from the depths of the Northland. They migrated all the way south to this place, set up a foothold on this fertile grassland, and established a large-scale consciousness.This is a young kingdom, and this year, the queen gave birth to her third daughter and named her Tiannanyun.

The beauty of the little princess has become the pride of the whole society. She has a pair of emerald green eyes that are more beautiful than the crescent moon in the sky. When she laughs, the birds on the grassland will sing for her.The young guys counted on her adulthood with their fingers, and dreamed of being the lucky one who married her.

But the little princess doesn't want to get married. Whenever she asks the maids why they want to get married when they grow up, they will laugh and explain to her in a tactful way: "That's when you grow up and know what a man is." If you do, you will naturally understand.

Tian Nanyun grew up day by day.

After being deceived by merchants again with shoddy goods, the king of market knowledge reached the limit of his anger and announced the prohibition of trading with foreign merchants.The wise men in the kingdom and the reputable chambers of commerce in the past tried to persuade Wang You one after another, but no one could change his mind. The merchants who were angered by his stubbornness and arrogance uttered cruel words, wanting him to regret what he said, But Wang dismissed it. In his eyes, these businessmen were just talking.

But he was wrong.

Behind the merchants whom he regarded as weak lambs, there is a city named Chang'an.The merchants issued a mission in the name of 'suppressing and killing non-human races'. Today, when the Millennium War has long passed, only the Western Land Guangming Empire still adopts an attitude of exterminating non-human races.The mercenary guild does retain the category of 'suppressing and killing non-human races', but it is aimed at dangerous non-human races such as blood races that cannot be tolerated with humans. name.

The guild is not a court, and it will not judge right or wrong, let alone the mercenaries.

On the day Tian Nanyun came of age, the mercenaries from Chang'an killed her father and mother in front of her eyes, and slaughtered all the men in the kingdom. Death, even the children and the elderly were not spared.

They ruined everything about her.

Tian Nanyun, who was locked in a cage with disheveled hair, looked at the burning grassland and understood what it means to grow up within a day.

Then she met the man.

The man who made her understand what a man is, became her lingering, nightmare man.

………………

Middle Earth, Chang'an.

There is a mandarin duck lake in the blood slaughter hall, and many fish are raised in the lake.

Two old men were fishing by the lake.

"I said Li." Hades supported the fishing rod, turned his face to look at Li Tieyi who was sitting next to him, blinking his eyes impatiently, "You came to me early in the morning just to get rid of How many fish are caught in my fish pond?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Tieyi raised his hand and caught a big carp weighing five or six catties.He unhooked the hook from the fish's lips, flung the fish back into the lake, rebaited it, and cast the rod again.

Hades glanced at the empty fish bucket, pursed his mouth, and fell silent.

"I came to look for you, of course I have something to do." Li Tieyi held the fishing rod without looking sideways. He paused, and then said: "It's just that I haven't made up my mind yet."

Hades let out a 'huh'.

Xuetu and Huiguang have always been enemies. Hades and Li Tieyi have been fighting openly and secretly for decades. There are not many opportunities to sit together in harmony like this.It stands to reason that Hades is a well-known wise man, but Li Tieyi is a well-known "mediocre person". The two are not in the same class. It should be that the latter is being played by the former.But in fact, if you want to say who the person Hades hates the most in Chang'an City, it is undoubtedly Li Tieyi in front of you.

Li Tieyi is not hiding clumsiness, he is just too disciplined.

What the master of Hui Guang should do, he did well, and he didn't touch any of the things he shouldn't do.The whole person is like a wooden man made according to the template, all the brilliance comes from his identity as the master of the glow on the top of his head, and he can't see any color that belongs to him, so it's no wonder that he will get a reputation of 'mediocre'.

But Li Tieyi was not like this when he was young.

If Hades were to judge Li Tieyi when he was young, he was an eagle, and if he didn't fly, he would be an astonishingly forbearing eagle.

"This mandarin duck lake is a token of love dug by Xue Tu Qi for Li Qingyin."

Li Tieyi said suddenly, staring at the sparkling lake in front of him, something complicated and incomprehensible flickered in his eyes.He turned his head slightly, looking at Hades beside him.

The latter was showing a thoughtful expression.

"Li Shen is my son."

Li Tieyi threw this sentence lightly, but Hades didn't show any surprise, and didn't even bother to pretend to be surprised.

"So?" Xue Tu's Undead Prime Minister smiled playfully, and asked Hui Guang's current head knowingly, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to propose to Baby Yang on his behalf."

A sharp cry of a crane resounded from the lake in the distance, its snow-white wings fluttered, and its long red claws scratched out several slender ripples on the lake.

Hades narrowed his eyes silently.

"Li Shen has already married a wife." He stared at Li Tieyi with half-closed eyes, and his voice was a little cold, "You want my baby to be a baby for him?"

"That won't happen."

Li Tieyi weighed the fishing rod in his hand and smiled lightly.

"As long as you nod, I will take care of the rest."

………………

The first time Tian Nanyun saw Li Tieyi was in the cage.

Like the other female slaves, she was locked in a cage and starved for three full days before she had her first sip of water.They bumped along with the convoy all the way, ate, drank, and littered in cages, without the slightest bit of human dignity.Whenever the convoy stops to rest, there will be mercenaries gathered outside the cage, pointing at them, among them Tian Nanyun is regarded as a rare beast because of her conspicuous appearance, she is unwilling to be like other people in the cage Also defecating in public, he would rather not eat or drink, and because of this, he quickly weakened and was dying.

Her hunger strike attracted the attention of the managers. They pried open her mouth and poured liquid food into it, but as soon as they let go, she would vomit it out again.The irritated manager stripped her of her clothes, tied her to the railing of the iron cage, and threatened that if she didn't obey and eat, she would be tied up to Chang'an in this way, and everyone along the way would come and watch The wonderful body of her princess.

Tian Nanyun's heart was already numb, she only wanted to die.

"Let go of her."

She heard a voice, and a hand squeezed her chin, forcing her to raise her head and look at the person standing in front of her.

She saw a pair of eagle-like eyes.

The other party looked at her face for a moment, let go of her hand, and told the manager standing next to her, "Clean it up and send it to my car."

"Yes, be the master."

Tian Nanyun, who was washed and sent to a spacious caravan, looked at the man sitting on the soft couch studying with some vigilance, and the latter waved at her to let her pass.

She didn't move.

He sat up, put the book in his hand on his lap, and said to her in a flat and natural tone.

"From today onwards, I am your master. Whatever I ask you to do, you must do."

"From now on, your name will be Li Yun."

………………

"Your mother was born as a slave girl and is of mixed race. No matter how much your father likes her, it is impossible for him to marry her."

On Fushan, in front of the tombstone, old man Yu was talking, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the mottled writing on the tombstone.

His tone became a little strange.

"Unless he's crazy."

Li Shen frowned silently.

"Dangtang Huiguang is the master, and if he wants to marry a mixed-race female slave as his regular wife, one can imagine how much opposition he will receive." Old man Yu sighed, and said quietly, "But since he has made up his mind, no one can persuade him." Come on, and at this time, your mother is also pregnant with you."

"Your father has every precaution, but he can't prevent her from running away by herself."

"She knew it was a trap set for her, but she still jumped into it willingly."

"She wants to go back to Dapan, to the grassland where she was born... even if there is nothing there. She is a proud bird on the grassland, and she will never be locked in a cage in her life."

Old man Yu's eyes gradually blurred.

He seems to have seen that proud woman running recklessly on the waist-high grassland, and saw her showing a true smile that made the world eclipsed.Even if her wings were broken off and she was put in a cage, she was still a bird yearning for the sky, as soon as she let go, she would fly away and never see her again.

"She threatened your father with her own life and yours, forcing him to let go... You were supposed to be the proud son of heaven that everyone envied, and you were born to enjoy all the glory and wealth, but because of her selfishness, you lost it all. "

"Will you resent her?"

The old man's question echoed low and low in the silent forest. Beside the tombstone, the ruthless young man in his memory had grown into an indomitable man. Then, how would he face the right and wrong of the previous generation? ?

The old man didn't really want to know the answer.

From the beginning to the end, he was just a bystander, whether he loved it or hated it, there was no place for him in it.

He could only watch, always, quietly.

"Heaven's proud son? Prosperity and wealth?"

Li Shen laughed lowly.

He smiled and sighed, squatting down beside the tombstone, with tender eyes in his eyes.

"As long as she likes it, it's fine."
