Chapter 1 Smile

The enchanting blood-like firelight reflected the paper window red. Outside the nine-fold rosefinch door, there seemed to be endless wailing from the depths of hell.

Emperor Cang sat on the golden dragon chair inlaid with white jade with a murderous look, but whenever there was an unbearable howling from the Rasha outside the door, his shoulders trembled slightly.

Murong Lingyue, dressed in a long white smoke dress, walked gently to the emperor, and not far away stood a handsome but slightly feminine teenager.

Ling Yue slowly squatted down and looked up at Emperor Cang: "Father, do it. I won't blame you."

Emperor Cang stretched out his hands and grabbed Ling Yue's slender neck. For a long time, when he came to his senses, he found that his favorite daughter had lost his breath, and a trace of sadness flashed at the bottom of his eyes. But if she doesn't do that, what awaits her is only the torture and humiliation of the enemy.

I would rather die standing than live on my knees.

"Louye, after I die, you should remember to cut off my head and bury it in a place unknown."

"I didn't know until then." Liu Ye replied respectfully.

When the desperate fighting gradually approached, Emperor Cang took out a very exquisite cyan glazed bottle from his arms, which contained the world's most precious poison.

The world is uneasy, disasters are surging, and all sentient beings are distressed. Only with this smile can avoid the suffering of secular reincarnation.

The glass fell lightly and shattered all over the ground.

The rosefinch door burst open, and the smoke mixed with the bloody smell poured into the hall with the strong wind. Outside the door stood full of soldiers with swords, led by a man in golden armor and a strong face.

Xia Kang looked around the whole hall, and finally his eyes fell on the quiet but long-dead Emperor Cang. Then the man led hundreds of soldiers into the Rosefinch Hall, which symbolized the imperial power of the Cang Kingdom.

"Are you the prince?" Xia Kang looked at the teenager with low eyes from beginning to end with great interest.

"I'm just a slave who cleans the library."

"The slave who cleans the library? I think it should be specially served in **.

Liu Ye was not embarrassed by Xia Kang's sarcasm, and still lowered his head indifferently.

It's just that this indifference did not last long, because he saw Murong Lingyue, who was supposed to die, stand up. And the soldiers who followed Xia Kang in also looked at the dead princess with wide eyes.

Xia Kang, who sensed something strange, followed the soldiers' eyes, but saw Murong Lingyue looking at him with an extremely strange look, like a faint anger between Cui Yu's eyebrows.

Ling Yue strode down the jade steps, glanced at Xia Kang, stretched out her right hand, and five bright red fingerprints suddenly appeared on Xia Kang's face.

"You..." Xia Kang stared at Murong Lingyue in disbelief. Is this the rumored princess who behaves so elegant that even the crane will be ashamed of it? If his father hadn't repeatedly told him, he would never have hurt Murong Lingyue at all. Xia Kang would have smashed Ling Yue to pieces. Of course, he always needs to do something before he breaks the body, but at this moment, he can only entertain himself in his mind.

Although Liu Ye did not show it on his face, in fact, his inner shock was no less than an atomic bomb explosion.

Soon after, the two made the same judgment: Murong Lingyue was crazy.

The Shuangyuan Qingpeng carriage slowly drove on the widest avenue in the imperial city of Cangguo, and the officials and people standing on both sides looked sad. They know that tonight, the Cang Kingdom will turn into water mist like the night dew illuminated by the sun in the morning and disappear forever, and the vast territory will also be included in the territory of the State of Xia.

Through the Yunjin car curtain, Ling Yue looked at the completely strange world and sighed slightly: "Can you be a little more bloody?"

"Princess, are you all right?" Liu Ye, who thought Ling Yue was crazy, saw that she was still sober at this moment and whispered, "If the princess doesn't want to go to Xia, I will find a way to get you out."

"No, let's go to Xia." Ling Yue raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were as sharp as a leopard waiting for its prey.

"Who the hell are you?" Liu Ye's eyes suddenly became murderous. Originally, he thought that Ling Yue was just unable to accept the news of the subjugation of the country and was confused, but now it seems that the person in front of him is not the delicate and sick princess in the past.

"You have said that I am the princess of this country. Why do you ask me back now?"

"You are not a princess. Who the hell are you?"

"Indeed, I'm not Murong Lingyue, but what does it matter? As long as the front bucket thinks I am. And don't be so serious. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope. I don't think you will be bored enough to expose my identity, will you?

"Then at least tell me who you are?"

"You won't believe it if I say it."

"You didn't say anything, how do you know I don't believe it?"

"Well, let me tell you, my soul ran to Murong Lingyue inexplicably. Do you believe it?"

"Believe."

"Eh? How dare you believe it?"

"This body is indeed a princess, but you are not a princess, so this explanation is very reasonable and there is no reason not to believe it. However, I'm thinking that instead of letting you go to the State of Xia to be tortured, I might as well kill you now.

"Hey, you look like Zheng Tai, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. I have no grudge against you. Why did you kill me?

Liu Ye sighed: "Don't you understand your situation at all?"

"Isn't it the subjugated princess? Is it possible that I will commit suicide just because the country goes bankrupt? Ling Yue subconsciously compared Cangguo to those companies that failed to survive the financial crisis in the previous life.

"It seems that you really don't know anything. The reason why the enemy treated you is because they want to know the existence of the treasure map from you. If you arrive at the State of Xia and can't draw a treasure map, the consequences can naturally be imagined, and they will use all means to force you to submit. As far as I know, even the top masters of Jianghu Mountain can't withstand the 99 kinds of criminal laws concocted by the Criminal Department of Xia.

"Treasure map? What a treasure map."

"Three years ago, Shen Haoran, the richest man in the world, died at the hands of the Tang Sect in Shu. Before his death, he drew a picture of Qingsong, where his lifelong wealth was hidden, and only Murong Lingyue, who had seen that picture, was unforgettable. Therefore, under the whole world, only Murong Lingyue can completely reproduce the treasure map in the world.

"I don't know how to draw that green pine welcome picture. If they like me, they don't mind drawing a chicken pecking picture. However, according to you, if Ling Yue is the only one who knows this treasure map, then the journey to Xia should not be smooth this time.

Liu Ye glanced at the ink night outside his eyes: "You are not stupid. At this time, I estimate that the detailed works of Shu, Jin and Chu should have been mixed in, but it is still indistinguishable for the time being."

"Looking at you, you seem to be good at martial arts?"

"I... don't know martial arts. It's just that the skills on your feet are better than ordinary people. If you want to leave now, it's not difficult. It's just that when you really come to the State of Xia, you can't help me if you want to leave me again. Liu Ye looked a little gloomy and his eyes drooped.

"If I decide to go to Xia, will you go with me?"
