There are three city gates in Shunchengmen in most cities, the left is humble and the right is noble, and the middle cannot be opened except by the powerful.

Today, a golden trumpet was heard, and the four guards at the center of the city gate were pushed open. The people in the city knelt on both sides, thinking that one of the dignitaries of the Yuan Dynasty must be passing by.

But I saw dozens of strong Mongolian warriors riding tall horses to protect them on both sides. The leader was a handsome young man wearing a crown with a sheep's head pattern and wearing green armor. Among the many lightly armored warriors guarding them, there were eight red-clothed government officials carrying them.

A golden sedan chair.

The silk surface of the sedan was decorated with a four-clawed golden python, and the person sitting in the sedan was a Mongolian prince.

The large army passed through Shuncheng Gate silently. The people kneeling on both sides of the street lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads to peep.

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit. The straw hat of a man kneeling on the street was blown away, and a burst of yellow sand hit the young man who was leading him.

"Huh?" The green-armored young man stretched out a hand and gently caught the straw hat in his hand.

The wind and sand were so strong that the officers carrying the sedan were unsteady on their hands and feet and could only get off the sedan to rest while they were swaying. The guards around them placed their hands on the heads of their swords and stood ready to prevent any unexpected changes.

After the sandstorm passed, the green-armored young man stood on his horse, looked around, and asked, "Who is it?"

The man who lost his straw hat collapsed on the ground, climbed up to the horse and kowtowed, trembling and saying, "Xiaomin... it's the wind... it's the wind..."

Before he finished speaking, he only heard a cold voice, "You should be punished with death for disturbing the prince."

Hearing the sound of the samurai drawing his sword again, the man was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot. His heart felt cold, and he thought that he was going to die!

When I was in despair, I suddenly heard someone in the sedan yelling, "Qiu Yadu!"

The green-armored young man on the horse stretched out his hand to stop his movements. The man under the horse kowtowed as hard as he could and kept muttering "You little one deserve to die."

The officer in red opened the curtain of the sedan, and saw a middle-aged man with a plump and plump face, who slowly opened his eyes. He wore a round golden crown on his head, and tied it with a string of pearls.

On his neck. This man looked calm and confident, staring ahead with his eyes wide open.

"It's Prince Liang!" Some people took a look and recognized this rare good man in the Yuan Dynasty.

The green-armored young man dismounted, walked to the sedan in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to help King Liang get out of the sedan. The warriors surrounded him and started to be on guard, and King Liang slowly walked up to the man.

The man's body was shaking like chaff. King Liang looked around, then suddenly stretched out his hand and said calmly to the man kneeling on the ground, "Come on, get up..."

The man was lifted up by King Liang in shock and confusion, and he bent his waist and legs, lowered his head tightly and did not dare to look directly at King Liang, and kept saying his own damn words.

"I've frightened you...Don't be afraid..." King Liang's kind tone shocked the people around him, and they all raised their necks and looked at the field.

The King of Liang really loved his people like a son as in the legend! The people looked left and right, seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

The King of Liang said to the man in a pleasant manner, "It's not you, it's the wind that frightened me, it has nothing to do with you!"

As he said that, he glanced at the green-armored young man behind him again, "My son is reckless and it's all because of my lax supervision..."

King Liang glanced at the green-armored young man, and he quickly picked up the straw hat on the ground, but it had been broken into two halves.

Prince Liang snorted coldly at the prince, took the straw hat, turned around and said kindly, "Go to the Prince's Mansion to find the manager to get a new one!"

The man took the straw hat, bowed quickly, and kept saying "Thank you, Your Majesty".

After the large army set off again, King Liang summoned the green-armored young man to the sedan chair and said with a displeased look on his face, "Qiu Yadu, why did you use a knife on that man just now? What did your father teach you?"

The green-armored young man was the eldest son of Prince Liang, the brother of the current emperor. His nickname was Qiu Ya Du Kuo Kuo Timur, and his Han name was Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao twitched the corner of his mouth and said directly, "The Han disturbed Wang Jia, so I won't be wronged by killing him."

As soon as he finished speaking, King Liang waved to him and motioned for him to come over.

As soon as Wang Baobao stretched his head over, he received a solid slap, "I think you are stupid because you are practicing martial arts with your master!"

King Liang sighed and said slowly, "My Yuan Dynasty has been less than a hundred years old, but now it is already full of chaos and dangers. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of overthrowing..."

"Father, how can it be so serious?" Wang Baobao said disapprovingly.

"What do you think of the people under my rule, Dayuan?" King Liang suddenly asked.

Wang Baobao said, "People are divided into four classes, Han people are third and Southerners are the lowest. It is not worth pitying these people to die and it is not worth taking them."

"Yes." Prince Liang nodded, "Your thoughts are the same as those of most people in the court, even the emperor's brother. That's why I am full of worries about Dayuan's future."

The King of Liang looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Now that your martial arts skills have surpassed those of most of the royal warriors, it's time to study hard in literature. If you have both civil and military skills, you will be able to achieve great things in the future."

When it came to learning literature, Wang Baobao had a headache, but he did not dare to disobey King Liang.

"Killing can only be done with a nod of the head, but have you ever thought that killing that man today may relieve your anger, but it has sown the seeds of hatred and fear among the Han people. These things will be very terrifying in the future." King Liang said meaningfully.

He said, "Domineering killings can only convince people; only kingly and benevolent government can convince people. If you want to rule the Central Plains for a long time, you must follow the kingly way."

While they were talking, the team had arrived in front of the gate of Prince Ruyang's Mansion. Prince Liang stopped lecturing, and Wang Baobao thought he was finally relieved.

Before entering the palace, he saw King Ruyang who came to greet him. King Liang laughed and gave King Ruyang a bear hug. The two seemed to have been good friends for many years.

During the exchange of greetings, everyone entered the living room.

The King of Liang said bluntly, "I will talk about the official matters first. The main purpose of coming here this time is to bring the emperor's brother to give oral instructions... Recently, the rebellion in the Jiangnan area of ​​​​Henan has continued. The emperor's brother has a headache, so he decided to appoint you.

Go to the south to quell the chaos."

After hearing what King Liang said, the King of Ruyang stood tall and cut through the iron road, "According to the emperor's will, I will do my best to live up to the emperor."

After that, he cupped his hands to Prince Liang and said, "I also want to thank you for your kindness in recommending me."

King Ruyang knew that although Prince Liang never participated in government affairs, his words carried great weight. The courtiers all said that he was the most trusted person by the emperor, but in fact, how could he compare to Prince Liang in front of him?

There were even rumors in the palace that the emperor wanted to make Prince Liang the crown prince...

"Alas!" King Liang pressed down King Ruyang's hand and said with a smile on his face, "Which of us is following whom? What is the relationship? Why should we be polite?"

King Liang patted King Ruyang on the shoulder, pointed at the boy behind him who could no longer hold himself back, winked and said, "As soon as Qiu Yadu came back from the Imperial Preceptor, he clamored to see his future wife..."

King Ruyang's mouth twitched, King Liang had this kind of temperament, and they had known each other for a long time. King Ruyang's transformation from an ordinary Daru Huachi to the king of Fifang County today was all due to King Liang's support.

The two had also made a vow to marry on their fingertips in their early years.

"Come here, take the prince to the back garden." Wang Ruyang just called, and Wang Baobao said impatiently, "Uncle Shi, don't bother me. I can just go to the back garden to find Minmin myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baobao left the conference hall.

King Liang smiled when he saw his son running out, and then took King Ruyang to sit down and talk about old times.

The back garden of Ruyang Prince's Mansion, named Back Garden, is actually a pasture. This pasture was built to imitate the Saibei grassland, and horses are also herded on the playground.

There is a competition platform in the middle of this mini grassland, and fierce fighting sounds are being made at this time.

Ku Toutuo and Iron Palm Wu Wu Chi Feng are working together to attack a pink-clad woman with bright eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who looks like a fairy. Both of them are first-rate masters, but together they can only compete with that woman on a par.

"I told you not to let me go!" Zhao Minying pursed her lips slightly and said with an unhappy look on her face.

"The two of us didn't want to do it. It's just that the princess is proficient in martial arts and we are really no match..." It was Yu Chifeng who spoke. Kutoutuo was mute and naturally couldn't speak.

"No fun, I won't play with you anymore." Zhao Min waved his hand, turned around and saw Wang Baobao smiling at him from the audience.

Zhao Min frowned and curled his lips, "When did you come?"

"For a while." Wang Baobao said with a smile.

Zhao Min stopped replying, glanced at Wang Baobao, tilted his mouth, and turned his head to one side.

The two walked on the white marble bridge. Wang Baobao followed Zhao Min and said happily, "Minmin, I haven't seen you in a few years, and you have grown a lot. I have been studying with the National Master for four years, and I miss you all the time."

.”

When Zhao Min heard Wang Baobao's words, he felt goosebumps all over his body and did not answer.

"By the way, I also gave myself a Chinese name, Zhao Qiang."

Zhao Min paused, turned around and pointed at Wang Baobao and said, "Hey, why are you learning from me?"

Wang Baobao said with a smile, "Wives follow the rules of husbands!"

Zhao Min's eyes widened, "What did you say! What about 'wife' or 'husband'."

"Minmin, we have been engaged since childhood!"

Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him, "That was the marriage arranged by Prince Liang to my father, and I didn't agree."

"Minmin..." Wang Baobao looked at Zhao Min weakly.

"Can't we just talk about it?" Zhao Min turned around and walked towards the lake with his hands behind his back.

Wang Baobao hurriedly chased after her and said gently, "Just do what you say," and reminded her along the way to "be careful of the rocks."

In October of the 11th year of Zhizheng, King Ruyang led his heavy cavalry south to suppress the civil uprising in the Heshuo area. The Han Shantong rebels who rebelled in Yingzhou were in trouble, and Han Shantong was arrested and killed. Liu Futong led his son Han Lin'er to break out of the siege and fled to Bozhou with the remnants of his army.

, and gained the support of the rebels in Anhui, and for a while fell into a stalemate with the Yuan Dynasty's bandit-suppressing army.

Also in this month, the Shaoshi Mountain Demon-Elimination and Defense Conference came to an end. During this period, "Mingjiao" disciples took the initiative to attack various sects across the country. The Shaolin pro-Yuan sect finally took the lead and called on the six sects headed by Zhengdao to launch

In order to encircle and suppress Mingjiao and counterattack, a battle between "good and evil" continues to be staged across the land of China, becoming increasingly fierce.

On December 12, the 13th year of Zhizheng, the head of the Emei Sect, Jue Shitai, personally went out to the mountain and invited the three major sects of Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan, and agreed to gather at Guangming Peak of Kunlun Mountain in the coming spring to annihilate the Demon Cult in one fell swoop!
