Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

In the spring of the 32nd year of Emperor Yujian, Anyi, the capital, suddenly changed.

On the day of the Great Sacrifice, the city was shrouded in black clouds, and the day was like night. The Jianghu rebels and the defenders went to war, and the flames of war ignited the palace gardens of the imperial city.It caused the ground to crack, black mist filled the air, and barbarian soldiers emerged from the ground out of thin air, wreaking havoc in the inner city, turning the altar into ruins.

Emperor Yujian suddenly died of a hidden illness, and King Yuchang also disappeared mysteriously. At the critical moment, Si Yutong, the princess of Ping'an County, stepped forward and commanded the two armies to stop the fighting and join forces to turn the tide, and only then did the barbarians be kept inside The city has kept the safety of millions of men, women and children in the city.

What's even more strange is that on that day, there seemed to be a stream of light from the ground, which rushed into a waterfall, causing the ground to shake and the mountains to shake, and the sound was heard for hundreds of miles. The barbarians had disappeared without a trace.

Later, according to the imperial doctor's assertion, the diffuse black mist was the burning smoke of Dracaena vine mixed in, and Dracaena vine is the raw material of the notorious evil medicine Fuyao Qingfeng, which will hinder people's eyes and ears and cause hallucinations for no reason.The soldiers were skeptical. After all, the marks made by sharp weapons on the city wall were not fake.No one can tell what is going on with that terrifying scene that looks like a million Yin soldiers appearing in the world.

The longest day in the Yu Kingdom finally ushered in the dawn amidst the light of swords and blood. However, just as the war subsided, something even more sensational happened.

At dawn, the sky fires in northern Xinjiang were still burning.After the black clouds cleared, the light of the fire became more real, and the crimson flames flowed down the sky to the ground.Even the rising sun in the east was dulled, pale and gloomy.

Panic spread in the city, and this time people could no longer hide their fear. They survived the depression, the turmoil, and the war, but it was like the fire of God's punishment, how could they survive it.

The nine stars are against the sun, and the world will be overturned—the rumors in the rivers and lakes seem to be turning into reality.

It was the darkest day in the Yu Kingdom. A large number of people flocked to leave their homes, eager to escape from the city. The young, old and young lined up in the middle street, huddling together regardless of high or low. Rich merchants were as embarrassed as beggars. , the cries of children, the groans of the elderly and the curses of grown men and women can be heard endlessly.

The once prosperous and prosperous capital, with the sound of bells, drums, ceremonies and music, seems to have turned into a hell on earth, and suffering is everywhere.

On both sides of the street, the defenders who maintained order arrived in a hurry, and they were greeted only with sneering words. The soldiers were trapped in a sea of ​​people, facing the angry people, there was nothing they could do, and they soon fell into a dilemma.

Until a bright red color appeared in the army formation.

"Don't panic, if we panic, how will the common people deal with themselves!"

An angry horse in fresh clothes, a dignified figure, and a strong voice—a person with such a magnanimity is actually a young woman.

Si Yutong, Princess of Ping'an County.

The ten mile long street was lined with peach blossoms. In the spring nine years ago, in the rain of flower petals, she accepted the emperor's imperial grandfather's order and made a marriage contract with Bai Yunfeng.

Nine years later, the fallen flowers turned into mud, the prosperity was gone, the father who accompanied her was killed, and the grandfather who wore the red crown for her died of illness, and even waited at the end of the long street to hold her hand and share with her The young man who promised his life has also poured blood on the cold city wall and sacrificed his young life.

Everything was changed, but she was the only one who remained here, with her thin spine stubbornly erect, never lowering her head for a moment.

That is a backbone that supports the state of Yu.

After hearing her lecture, the defenders stood firm one after another and stopped looking around.

The common people also stopped one after another, discussing in a hurry.

"Is the one who ordered the soldiers Princess Ping'an?"

"Yes, at this juncture, who else will come besides her."

"The princess is here, let's go home and wait..."

"It's useless. The emperor, the prince, and the prince can't protect themselves. A mere princess, a woman, can you control your life?"

"But the world is so big, where can we escape?"

Amidst the noisy voice, there was a sudden exclamation.A child broke through the crowd, squeezed a path through the legs of the adults, and rushed straight to Si Yutong's pommel horse. He put his legs together, clenched his fists, and stood still on the spot.

Si Yutong immediately followed two guards, and when she saw this, she immediately drew her saber, stopped in front of him, and said sharply: "Presumptuous, how dare you block the way of the princess!"

The boy looked only eight or nine years old, not afraid of the guards shouting, raised his immature face, and said crisply: "Are you the princess, I have something to ask you!"

As soon as the words fell, a woman rushed out from the crowd, plopped and knelt on the ground, and knocked her head on the ground: "Princess, forgive me, the child doesn't know what to do, so I'll take him back and punish him severely, please The princess calms down."

The woman grabbed the boy's clothes in a hurry, bent over again and again, her forehead hit the ground with a bang, and the sapphire slab quickly turned red.

"Wait." Si Yutong said, immediately got off the horse, walked forward quickly, lifted the woman's shoulders, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, get up and talk."

The woman stood up slowly, but still did not dare to look up at her face.

The clothes of the mother and the son are quite beautiful, presumably they are from a rich family, but unfortunately the fine brocade is covered with dust and is not neat, and their sideburns are also messy in the wind, presumably they have suffered a lot in the bumps.

Si Yutong stopped talking to the woman, instead squatted down, looked the boy in the eye, and asked, "Little brother, if you have any questions, just ask."

The boy was startled for a moment, and quickly said: "The adults say that the old emperor and the new prince are dead, the sky is about to fall, and the common people are left alone. Is it true?"

The wild words made the woman turn pale with fright, as if she might faint at any moment.On the contrary, the boy's eyes were full of fear, and he was still staring straight at the person across from him.

Si Yutong met his gaze and said, "Don't worry, I'm still here, I won't let the sky fall."

"You?" The boy looked confused, "Do you have that ability?"

"I will personally lead the troops to the north and do my best."

"Leader? Daddy said women don't know how to fight."

"I've won a lot of victories."

"But even if you win the battle, a woman can't be the emperor."

Si Yutong was silent for a moment, and said word by word: "Little brother, let me ask you, natural disasters ravage the world, and the country is in crisis. Is it important to lead the army to govern the country, put down chaos and save people?"

The boy nodded.

"Since this is the case, someone should do it. As for whether it is a man or a woman, what is the difference? What is the difference if you are an emperor or not?"

At some point, the crowd quieted down, and everyone's eyes followed the boy and fell on her.

She looked around at the crowd and said, "I am a descendant of Dayu, a descendant of the Si family, and it is my responsibility to protect my people."

The boy blinked, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "You...can you protect me? And parents and sister, can you protect them?"

Si Yutong said: "As long as I live, I will protect each other to the death. As long as I am still standing, I will never let you get hurt."

The boy was overjoyed, let go of her hand, turned to the woman beside him, and said impatiently: "Mother, did you hear? The princess will protect us, let's go home. I don't want to go, Ying'er has been coughing and having a fever , she doesn't want to leave either..."

Si Yutong was startled. It turned out that the child came to protect his sister. She patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you are very brave. I will protect you, and you will protect your family, okay?"

The boy kept nodding.

The woman finally raised her eyes, with tears in her eyes, stared at her for a while, finally hugged her son in her arms, and said: "Okay, let's go home."

The mother and son cuddled together and left.

Si Yutong stood up, looked around the crowd, and said, "If you believe in me, go home. The Kingdom of Yu has not yet perished. As long as I am still alive, I will never let you suffer from being displaced."

The crowd was silent, and after a long time, someone finally turned around, followed behind the mother and son, withdrew from the team, and each set foot on their way home.

Si Yutong silently looked at the crowd, the expression on her face remained unchanged, but she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.
