A wide cement road winds through the mountains, with bridges built across rivers and beams built across mountains. The power of industry is always full of stunning beauty. And this cement road is particularly beautiful, with flowers blooming on both sides and luxurious street lights.
This is one of the many roads leading to Cuiyan Lake.
Cuiyan Lake has been a land of fireworks and a beautiful wonder since the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom. From the civil strife in the Great Xia Kingdom to Anyang's eventual conquest of this place, Cuiyan Lake has not suffered any military disaster.
There was war outside. When Anyang was fighting with Jin State, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County, you could even hear the sound of artillery here, but the peace and prosperity here were never interrupted.
However, behind this seemingly beautiful place is a place full of filth, blood and tears. The forced prostitution of good women is no longer covered up here, and the rich and powerful people get alternative satisfaction here. These crimes are even "known to everyone", but everyone "turns a blind eye and a deaf ear".
Anyang's legal system makes the outside world full of light, but here, it seems, is a place where the sun never reaches.
An exquisite and gorgeous float slowly drove up from the road, but the people inside the float were full of despair!
This is a woman whose beauty is beyond description. Her desperate look makes her beauty a deadly trap. The young woman in front of the car kept turning her head to look at her "goods". The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. This good called "Cao Xiulan" was worth 200,000 taels of gold!
Cao Xiulan sat quietly in the car, watching the road quickly recede, her heart sinking rapidly; ahead was a pit of sin with no light in sight.
In the pale palm, a piece of paper was tightly held. There were only two words on the note: "Alive!"
Cao Xiulan was the fifth-generation granddaughter of Cao Guobin, the Grand Tutor of the State of Cai. Her beauty shocked the capital of the State of Cai, and she was designated as the "Crown Princess" by the Emperor of the State of Cai. She was just waiting for an auspicious day to get married, and she might become the Empress of Cai in the future.
However, the world always changes unexpectedly. The war between the State of Cai and the States of Anyang, Tang, and Xiao broke out, and the State of Cai was defeated. Then the Grand Tutor Cao Guobin guarded the imperial capital to delay time.
Cao Xiulan and the entire Cao family followed the Emperor of Cai to flee to Sanchuan.
Needless to say, what happened next, Huang Fu monopolized power, Cao Guobin was killed, and the Cao family was wiped out. But Cao Xiulan was the "future crown princess" after all, and Huang Fu did not move for the time being, which gave Cao Xiulan an opportunity.
Ye Weirong, the commander of Sanchuan in Cai State, used his influence in Sanchuan to secretly send Cao Xiulan out of Cai State. She would die sooner or later in Cai State. Before leaving, Ye Weirong seemed to feel that things would not go smoothly, so he told Cao Xiulan that she had to stay alive to have hope!
Sure enough, although Ye Weirong was the commander of Sanchuan, he was discovered by the way he used tricks to make Huang Fu's opponent, Cao Xiulan, who was about to leave Cai State.
Mr. Huang is an old fox and of course he would not miss this opportunity, so he threatened Cao Xiulan - if you voluntarily obey my arrangements, I will let Ye Weirong go; if you are unwilling, Ye Weirong's entire family will be executed.
Not to mention, Ye Weirong has too much influence in Sanchuan. If he really has such an excuse, it will definitely not end well. Cao Xiulan was born in the Cao family, so of course she knows a little about politics and understands Ye Weirong's situation.
