Everything in the house was intact except for her absence. The only thing that disappeared with her was a piece of crystal, which was not a high-end product, but a gift that Zhao Weihuang bought for her from a passing caravan with his first monthly salary after he settled down in the small town. One gift.
Zhao Weihuang didn't seem surprised, as if she was still at home, he greeted her, sat down to eat, and told her about the interesting things that happened in the town today. The chair she used to sit in was empty, and Zhao Weihuang was just talking to an empty chair.
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a group of Zhao clan soldiers rushed in. The first old man was Xuan Yuangong who was able to help him, and he was also the one who watched Zhao Weihuang grow up. When they saw Zhao Weihuang, they all breathed a sigh of relief. As the wedding date approached, Duke Xuan Yuan finally made up his mind to use the secret method, and he found Zhao Weihuang.
"Uncle Wu, you go out first, I'll go back with you after dinner." Zhao Weihuang said calmly, but his tone did not allow disobedience. The man who would ascend to the throne of the Zhao Clan in the future showed for the first time the majesty of a real superior.
Zhao Weihuang finished his dinner, packed up the dishes, left home, and also left the town.
In the days that followed, life was back on track.
Zhao Weihuang successfully married Princess Gaoyi, and formally took charge of a mansion in the family, and at the same time obtained the establishment of the Beacon Army. Lian victorious outside, Northwest Wolf Smoke's reputation is growing day by day, four sons in a row, all of them are excellent in talent, especially the fourth son Zhao Jundu, the talent test is full of abnormalities during the full moon, brilliant like the zenith, it is a rare super.
As the son of a noble family, Zhao Weihuang seems to have everything, power, merit, heirs, and a bright and smooth future.
Until that year, the Zhao Clan of Yanyun and the Dark Kingdom once again entered into an all-out war. Zhao Weihuang led a team to rescue Youtong Pass, and fought an encounter with the Dark Race on the way, narrowly winning. Unfortunately, it was a human town that became the battlefield. After the battle, the whole town was almost reduced to ruins.
Zhao Weihuang saw her again in the ruins of a place.
When she raised her head, a tall figure in military uniform was reflected in her indifferent eyes, and the time that had been separated for nearly ten years seemed to have completely disappeared.
Except that she already possessed the eighth level of force, nothing seemed to have changed, the same breath, the same joy, and the same indulgence.
However, when Zhao Weihuang woke up the next day, she disappeared quietly again, as if this night was just a dream.
The battle ahead was tense, so Zhao Weihuang could only stay behind to search for him, and led the team to continue to the battlefield. The result is naturally nothing, she is not a resident of the small town, maybe a traveler passing by occasionally. The world is so big that even with the power of the Zhao family, it is impossible to find the woman who claims to be Ye Ji.
Just when Zhao Weihuang thought that this encounter would sink into the depths of his memory again, someone suddenly came to the Zhao clan with a baby in his arms and asked to see Zhao Weihuang by name.
It was a very ordinary civilian old woman, and besides the baby, Zhao Weihuang also had a crystal lock piece. Gold, silver and jade are popular in imperial jewelry, and crystals are rare. The material of this crystal is very ordinary. For a family like the Zhao Clan, it is not a good thing to make a decoration. However, after Zhao Weihuang got it, he immediately recognized that it was what he bought with the first salary he earned. that crystal.
The cleats were also poorly carved, the only surprising thing was that the pattern on it was actually two ancient runes. The generation of ancient runes is said to be before the birth of the people of darkness, and it is related to the origin of the Dao. It is extremely difficult, and even the strong of the dark race can't master a few. But when he saw these two runes, Zhao Weihuang naturally understood the meaning.
That is: Qianye.
According to the old woman, she was entrusted by the deathbed of a seriously ill woman to return the child to his father. So far, Zhao Weihuang didn't understand what was going on, but when he and the old woman went to the town where the woman spent her last days, they couldn't even find her bones from the mass grave where the outsider was buried.
Afterwards, the identity of the old woman was repeatedly screened countless times, but she was just an ordinary civilian in the territory of the Zhao Clan. The whole family was born and raised here for several generations. In a moment of compassion, she completed the work for the dead woman. There is really no doubt about the entrustment at the end of life.
In the end, Zhao Weihuang could only give up and accept this fact.
However, at that time, Zhao Weihuang was young and vigorous, and acted rashly. He didn't think about covering up, and his actions were too big. The news spread to the pregnant Princess Gaoyi. .
Speaking of this, Zhao Weihuang sighed, as if he suddenly aged ten years, and said for a long time: "What happened back then was really a trick of good fortune."
Qianye's face was calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs. From the Yinma Yin family to the Song family in Gaoling, he has seen many internal turmoil in the aristocratic clan, and he really doesn't have the slightest affection for the so-called high-ranking clan, but now he heard such a past from the mouth of the man in front of him. In addition, the resentment and injustice that have always existed due to old injuries are slowly fading.
Zhao Weihuang stared at the young man standing in front of him like Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The so-called imperial bloodline is not just a noble status, it also means strong ability and great potential. Before she got married, Princess Gaoyi had a high status in the imperial family because of the purity of the emperor's blood. The late emperor had passed away for 20 years, but she can still mobilize part of the imperial family's resources, and she still has some influence in the imperial family. Sheng.
The appearance of Qianye made Princess Gaoyi lose face, if only this was the case, that's all there is to it, there is no time when a high school student is young and foolish. However, Zhao Weihuang's undisguised actions back then clearly showed his affection for the unknown woman.
This move was tantamount to a severe slap in the face of Princess Gaoyi, tearing apart the illusion of harmony between husband and wife that had lasted nearly ten years. However, in the next bloodline and talent test for Qianye, after Ruo Ruo slapped Princess Gaoyi head-on, he slapped Princess Gaoyi backhand, and the slap was even heavier.
Qianye, who is not yet one year old, is not only from the blood of the Zhao family, but also born with original crystals in his body!
The ability of the original crystal is endless. As long as it is there, the vitality of the body will be endless. No matter how heavy the damage is, it will slowly return to its original state. It is the best support for cultivation and combat. Although this is not a powerful attack ability, the appearance of the original crystal means that it will lead directly to the avenue of the general. With such talent, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Jundu.
After learning about Qianye's talent, all the elders of the Zhao Clan were silent at that time, and no longer spoke about this son Guizong. Fortunately, Zhao Weihuang managed to retain some sobriety, and immediately issued a gag order to block the news, so as not to spread it to outsiders. In the end, only a few people at the top of the Zhao clan knew about this matter.
As for Princess Gaoyi, who was busy taking care of the newborn Zhao Ruoxi, she didn't seem to have heard of this matter, and after assigning Qianye the division according to the concubine of the Zhao family, she ignored it. Everything seems to be calm.
The harmonious Zhao Mansion finally underwent major changes after two years.
It happened suddenly. As the New Year approached, the rebels in the Western Continent rose up again, and Zhao Weihuang returned to the front line to take charge of the overall situation. Princess Gaoyi took her children to the imperial capital to attend the New Year's banquet as usual, and Zhao Ruoxi had never left the West Land before because of her youth and infirmity, and this was her first time entering the palace.
Just at this new year's imperial family banquet, a major event that shook the empire happened. The famous gun Manshu Shahua, who had been silent for many years, recognized his master. Everyone remembered the master of this generation of Manshushahua, the Zhao Clan, Zhao Ruoxi.
But what people don't know is that Zhao Ruoxi was critically ill that night after the famous gun recognized the owner, and several senior priests of the imperial family paid a huge price to stabilize her condition. It turned out that Zhao Ruoxi was born weak and didn't have a long life. After being connected with Manshushahua's soul, she couldn't accommodate such a powerful force.
Zhao Weihuang stopped talking again.
However, Qianye let out a long breath and understood most of it, "Original force plundering, so that's the case. So, that original crystal is now on Miss Fifth?"
Zhao Weihuang nodded heavily.
Qianye wasn't resentful or gloomy, and his face, which had been so calm and almost indifferent, slowly melted away, saying: "This ending is not bad."
"You..." Seeing Qianye like this, Zhao Weihuang didn't know what to say.
Qianye said indifferently: "I'm a concubine after all, so I don't have a choice."
In an aristocratic family, the status of the bastard may be inferior to that of the powerful offshoots, and his existence is a thorn in Princess Gaoyi's heart. What's more, based on the current situation, as long as Zhao Ruoxi can be saved, there is no price to pay, not to mention Princess Gaoyi and the imperial family, even the elders of the Zhao Clan would have the same choice.
However, there was one last question, Qianye asked: "And then? What happened." How did he appear in the garbage dump of Eternal Night Continent.
Zhao Weihuang couldn't give him an answer. Back then when Manshushahua recognized the Lord, news of Zhao Ruoxi's critical illness spread, Zhao Weihuang felt something bad, Xingye rushed back from the front line, but the deal was done, Qianye had been cut out of the original crystal the day before. Zhao Weihuang and Princess Gaoyi immediately quarreled.
Unexpectedly, on the night when Zhao Weihuang rushed to Princess Gaoyi's other courtyard, a murder occurred in the small courtyard where Qianye lived. Many unidentified masters invaded, and the guards suffered heavy casualties. When the rest of the Zhao Clan arrived, the invaders not only died in battle but also destroyed their bodies.
According to the surviving guards, the goal of those intruders was to kill Qianye. When they were about to be overwhelmed, a strong man dressed as a guard of the Zhao Clan broke in and killed most of the intruders, but Qianye was killed. Take away.
At that time, when foreign enemies invaded, half of the Zhao clan was alarmed, and the outer defense line was activated. That person went through several defenses in a row, wounding more than a dozen Zhao Clan masters, and even two twelfth-level generals went up together, but it didn't take long. The person was seriously injured on the spot, but he managed to break out of the encirclement.
Afterwards, it was verified that the person who took Qianye away was indeed a subordinate of the Zhao Clan. He was an expert with a foreign surname. He had joined the Zhao Clan for several years and was among the best in combat power among the younger generation at that time. relationship, this result puzzled everyone. The Zhao Clan then sealed off the various ports and the surrounding cities, but the man disappeared without a trace.
When Qianye heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. This surprised him even more than the answer that Princess Gaoyi wanted to kill him.
Zhao Weihuang sighed in his heart, besides taking care of Qianye's servants and guards, Zhao Jundu was the last person to see Qianye.
