Minghua Qiushi

The scene changed, and in a dark and damp room, Xuan Ce was crouched in a pile of firewood with bruises all over his body.A few rays of sunlight came in through the cracks in the window, Xuan Ce stared blankly at the floating dust in the light, without any emotion in his eyes.

A maid sweeping the floor passed by the door, probably because she was curious and stopped to look into the crack of the door. Another maid who was slightly older hurriedly pulled her away and said, "What are you looking at? Don't die!"

The maid said: "Sister, who is locked in here? It looks so pitiful."

The slightly older maid looked around and saw that no one came to her ear and said: "Let me tell you, the one imprisoned here is His Highness Fourth, the younger brother of our crown prince!"

The maid said in surprise: "Ah? How could such a noble status be beaten like this and locked up in such a remote place?"

"You are a newcomer. I don't know. Let me tell you, don't go out and talk nonsense. The Fourth Highness heard that he was born by a maidservant. The Emperor of Heaven didn't like him at first, and then somehow offended our prince. No, The crown prince has let him live in our East Palace for three years in the name of disciplining his younger brother, he said it was discipline, but in fact it was... well, you have seen it, his life is worse than that of our sweeping servants."

"Ah? Didn't His Majesty care about it that day?"

The older maid rapped on her head and said, "You can talk nonsense? Let me remind you, with our status, do you know that we do more and talk less? Don't look! Go, go, After a while, people see it and then cause trouble!"

The two little maids ran away in a hurry, but Xuance heard the conversation verbatim.Thinking back when His Royal Highness sent someone to pick him up into the East Palace, he still had an unrealistic fantasy, thinking that he could finally have the long-lost brotherhood, but in the end, his life was not as good as in the palace.Although no one cared about him when he was in the palace, he had no playmates or relatives to take care of him when he was young. Of course he was lonely, but at least he would not be abused, and food and clothing could still be guaranteed.But in the three years since I came here, I have lived a life that is not as good as a pig or a dog. I am either beaten or teased in different ways all day long. I can hardly remember how many times I was beaten like this.Humans are really tenacious animals. No matter what the day is, they get used to it as they live. Whether it is pain or hunger in the body, it will become numb after a long time.Did they say father emperor?Hmph, did he really not know, or did he know but didn't bother to ask?What is he in his eyes?Maybe an existence that made him feel ashamed to think about it?hate it?Hate the emperor, or the prince?It seems to hate and it seems not to hate, this kind of lingering life only longs for an end as soon as possible, hate seems to be unworthy, it is just a kind of extravagant hope that cannot be realized at all.

Wang Qiu listened to Xuan Ce's inner monologue with heartache, wondering why this time it was different from usual, and could hear the voice of the target of the operation. While wondering, he only heard Yuhua say: "I heard it too, maybe it's because Xuan Ce Most of Ce's obsessions are related to you, and you are the person who performs the spell, so you can hear his voice."

Wang Qiu nodded, then looked at the young man who was squatting in the corner with his arms around his knees, his eyes were full of indifference and despair, as if he was lifeless like ashes.This was Xuan Ce that he didn't know about. After taking in this apprentice, he cared too little for him. Although he knew that he had suffered, he didn't know that he was so desperate that he lost the will to live.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and several people who looked like guards and servants pushed the door open with a bang, and strong light shone into the dark room with the opened door, making Xuan Ce unable to open his eyes for a moment.

The leading palace man said in a high-pitched voice: "Fourth Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince is watching the koi in the Zuixian Pond, and ordered the servant to invite you to go and swim with him. Your Highness please!" The two guards behind set up Xuan Ce and walked out.

Beside the Drunken Immortal Pond, Prince Xiao Jincheng is leading a group of royal family members to drink and have fun here. A group of people are playing the game of throwing pots.

I saw Xiao Jincheng said: "Fourth brother, you came at a good time. We are throwing pots in this competition, but it is too simple and boring. Just now the third brother mentioned an interesting way to play. It can't be done without you."

Xuan Ce bowed his head and said nothing, Xiao Jincheng was very proud of his resignation, so he waved to a servant and said, "Go, give the pot to His Royal Highness." Then he turned to Xuan Ce and said, "Put it here Throwing pots is so boring, fourth brother, you come and hold it, how about we vote?" After speaking, the group of people all laughed.

Knowing that Xiao Jincheng was trying to humiliate him again, Xuan Ce clenched his fists and did not say a word, but slowly stood in the distance with the iron pot in his arms.

"Fourth brother, this is not acceptable. You should raise the pot higher! Yes, that's it, raise it to the top of your head! Our shots may not be accurate, you have to run to catch them, and if you fail to catch them, you will be punished!" Xiao Jincheng laughed and said.

Several Dengtuzi started throwing arrows towards Xuan Ce from different directions, and it was Xiao Jincheng who was the most tricky, deliberately throwing the arrows to the left, to the right, far and near.Suddenly, with a strong force, an arrow flew towards the distance, Xuan Ce stepped back suddenly, staggered and fell down, only to hear the group of royal children pointing to the fallen Xuan Ce and burst into laughter.

Xiao Jincheng smiled and said, "Fourth brother, why are you so careless. Look, all the arrows fell out, so you have to accept the punishment."

Xuan Ce stood up, picked up the scattered arrows and put them into the pot without saying a word, Xiao Jincheng gave him a satisfied look, raised his hand and threw another arrow.The arrow was thrown with ten percent force, and flew straight towards Xuan Ce's eyes. Xuance was startled, and instinctively shrank back. The arrow flew past Xuan Ce's head and landed on the ground. In the Drunken Immortal Pond behind.

Xiao Jincheng feigned anger and said: "Fourth brother, what are you hiding? Look, the arrow has fallen into the water! This is a specially made golden arrow by my order, why are you still standing there, jump down and get it for me!"

A flash of anger flashed in Xuan Ce's eyes, but it disappeared only for a moment, and he was dragging his painful body to move towards the pool, Xiao Jincheng winked at the palace man next to him, and the palace man immediately stepped forward knowingly. Xuan Ce kicked down, and the group of people burst into laughter again.

Xuan Ce thumped in the water for a while, when he was kicked down just now, he saw something flying out of his arms from the corner of his eye.amulet!He fumbled in his arms in a panic, and the only thing his mother left him was gone.Now Xuan Ce was in a panic, so he jumped down and searched under the water, luckily nothing was lost, and after searching for a long time, he finally found it.It was just an ordinary silver amulet that couldn't be more ordinary, the workmanship was very rough, with the words "Health and Peace" engraved on the front and back, it was hung on him by his mother when she gave birth to him.His mother was just an ordinary maid who had never read or read. This was probably the best blessing an ordinary mother could entrust to her child.

Seeing that he didn't come up for a long time, Mu Jincheng walked to the pool impatiently. As soon as Xuan Ce showed his head, he grabbed his hair. Angrily, he pushed Xuan Ce into the water and said, "Go down and get an arrow. It’s been a long time! I think you haven’t drunk enough water! Come on, drink some more!” As he spoke, he saw the amulet in Xuan Ce’s struggling hand, and grabbed it and said, “You bastard! Where are you going to get the prince's arrows?"

Seeing that the amulet was taken away, Xuan Ce was furious, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, "Give it back to me!"

"What kind of crap is this a treasure? A scumbag is a scumbag, your mother is a scumbag, if you dare to seduce your father while your father is drunk, you are also a scumbag! Bah!"

Xuan Ce's eyes were burning with raging anger, it didn't matter how Xiao Jincheng insulted himself, but he couldn't insult his mother like this!Holding the arrow he picked up just now, he angrily threw it at Xiao Jincheng.

Xiao Jincheng hurriedly dodged the arrow thrown by Xuan Ce, and this time he was very angry. As soon as he pulled Xuan Ce out of the water, he punched and kicked, cursing while beating: "You bastard! You You are very courageous! Today I have to teach you how to be superior and inferior!" Tired after beating for a while, he waved his hand and said, "You guys keep beating me, beat me to death! Third brother, let's go! Go over there and play, so as not to look at him bad luck!"

Xiao Jincheng left with a group of people, leaving a group of guards to fight around Xuan Ce.It hurts!It feels like my leg is broken, my stomach feels like a knife is being twisted, and my internal organs are probably injured. This time I will really be beaten to death, right?But it's okay to die like this, and you can be freed if you die...

"Bold! At the feet of the emperor, you beat people like this. Do you still have the law of respect and inferiority in your eyes?"

Hearing the sound, Xuan Ce raised his head and looked over. An extraordinary handsome general stopped the guard who was beating him. He saw that the man was wearing a white robe with a golden crown on his head. There is a golden sword on the belt, and the whole person looks upright and awe-inspiring.The person in front of him seemed to be radiating light all over his body, warm and hot, and the guards who had surrounded him with arrogance just now were already trembling and speechless after being frightened.

This was the first time he saw Mingxi, but the man's look full of compassion destined him to fall into that warm gaze for the rest of his life, and he didn't know whether it was his obsession or his sinful debt.

As soon as the screen changed, Xuan Ce happily ran back to the room in the General's Mansion.After closing the door, he took out the amulet in his arms, with an uncontrollable excited expression on his face, "Mother! I have good news for you, General Ming. He accepted me as an apprentice! Do you know who General Ming is? I I think you must have heard of it, the person who led the Celestial Clan to defeat the Demon Clan decades ago! Even the Demon Lord Cang Ming is no match for him! Mother! The number one God General in the Heaven Realm actually accepted a child as his apprentice, Am I dreaming! Mother, do you know? He is very kind to the child. He not only saved my life, but also let me live in the general's mansion and ask someone to treat my wounds! No one has ever been so kind to me Mother, I swear to you, I will honor Master well in the future! Master is the most important person in my life!"

The screen changed, and in the front hall of the General's Mansion, Ming Xi handed Xuan Ce a letter and said, "This is the list of military supplies for this season, which need to be sent to the border of the East China Sea. You will be in charge of this escort. Maybe it can be done well?"

Xuan Ce raised his head and looked at his master excitedly. He has been in the general's mansion for two years. Although his master is busy with military affairs and doesn't teach him every day, he often takes time out of his busy schedule to visit him and check his studies. , Sometimes I personally teach myself fairy swordsmanship.Master often said that I have excellent bones and rapid progress, but I feel that I am not good enough, and I must work harder. Only by becoming stronger can I share the worries of Master.

Now that the master has finally assigned me an errand, does it mean that the disciple can still be of some use?Very good!What should I do? I'm so happy!Master trusts me so much, no matter what, we must do things well!

As soon as the screen changed, Xuan Ce was leading a convoy of military supplies in a dense forest in the Taihang Mountains, when suddenly a misty smoke billowed in the distance.Xuan Ce was in a bad mood, and shouted: "There is an ambush! Cover your mouth and nose!"

However, it was still too late, the mist instantly fascinated more than half of the people, only to see hundreds of scorpions crawling out of the dense forest and besieging them, surrounded by a demon woman in purple clothes, While smirking, he attacked the leader Xuan Ce.Xuan Ce hurriedly drew his sword to confront him, the woman held a pair of Kunlun thorns and Xuan Ce wrestled into a ball.This demon's movements are treacherous and difficult to distinguish, Xuan Ce is obviously no match.

Wang Qiu watched all this from the sidelines, even though he knew it was in his memory, he couldn't help but sweat for Xuan Ce.Seeing that Xuan Ce was gradually losing the wind but still stubbornly refused to retreat, there was only one thought in his mind at the moment, that is to complete the task with all his might, and he must not let Master down!Wang Qiu looked at his stubborn eyes and felt distressed, silly boy, Master just sent you a random task, how can it be worth your effort?

Seeing that this person was difficult to deal with, the woman quickly used her unique poison skill, Purple Scorpion Poison Powder. The next moment, she heard Xuan Ce's scream, and her eyes were hit by the poison. Both eyes were poisoned and turned purple and black. The poisonous blood oozes out from the corner of his eyes.Even so, he still supported his swaying body and refused to retreat. The subordinates following him had no choice but to knock him out, and then dragged him to retreat quickly.
