Book with Emperor

Chapter 1 Nine Bells Toll
In the seventh year of Changyi, Donglu Daxi was facing a far-reaching disaster.

In New Moon City under the scorching sun of August, the plague raged and corpses were everywhere.

Qin Guanyue leaned dying under the tree outside the ancient city, looking up at the young man in brocade clothes in front of her, her hunger made her unable to speak a complete sentence.

"Take it, wait for me here."

"..."

The boy was only seven or eight years old, dressed luxuriously, holding a bun in his white tender hand, and looked at himself worriedly.

"I'm going back to get water."

The boy looked at her for a moment, then said, "If you want, you can go home with me."

Qin Guanyue took the hot steamed stuffed bun.

The boy thought she agreed, turned around and ran towards the city.

She sighed, a little speechless.

She is an orphan, and she managed to drag her younger sister to college to live a good life. Unexpectedly, a car accident brought her to this ancient dynasty, and she became a child who was about to starve to death.

The city not far away was dilapidated, and rotten corpses could be seen everywhere inside and outside the city. Passers-by couldn't help covering their mouths and noses when they passed by the city.

The plague swept the whole city except her.

However, the excessive decay of the corpse will produce germs, and her current weak body will die at any time.

She smiled, looked up at the two figures in brocade clothes in the distance, bit the bun in her hand, and then threw it to a child who had been staring at her for a long time.

The child devoured the steamed stuffed bun.

Qin Guanyue licked her dry lips, walked up to the white figure step by step with a branch, fell to the ground, and lay down.

A smiling man's voice sounded above his head, "Where is the little beggar?"

Qin Guanyue lazily pointed to the gate of New Moon City not far away, and then heard another majestic and deep man's voice.

"The flood in Cangzhou a few days ago, I'm afraid it's refugees from there. These officials are really bastards."

Qin Guanyue turned her head and glanced, there was a man in black standing next to the man in white, who was much taller and looked like a rich man.

"Here."

A bag of sesame seed cakes was placed in front of her, Qin Guanyue took the sesame seed cakes with one hand and gnawed, and took the opportunity to grab the man's sleeve with the other hand.

White silk satin, smooth and soft, embroidered with dark patterns, low-key luxury, only for the noble.

"presumptuous!"

The foot of the other in the expensive boot was up too, ready to kick her, the filthy and bold beggar.

"Xiao Zhao."

"This beggar might be infected with the plague..."

"It's okay."

The other party had a nice voice and a good temper. After stopping his companion, he asked in that half-bent posture, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Guanyue let go of the opponent's sleeve, sat up slowly and looked at the opponent.

A handsome face, but the most eye-catching thing is the young white hair hidden in the hood, which really looks like a fairy.

The man next to him was also good-looking, handsome and majestic, but he looked too serious and not very pleasing.

"Since you've been given food, why don't you give me some water."

"You little beggar is really crazy!"

The man in black beside him couldn't help laughing when he heard her confident tone.

The man in white smiled amusedly, and actually handed her the water.

Qin Guanyue took a few sips of water slowly, wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you."

"No thanks." After saying that, the man in white was about to leave, but was pulled back again.

"Grandfather, please stay."

The man in black was really upset now, he frowned and pulled the man in white back a step, "Don't push yourself too hard."

"Benefactor, don't worry, I have received your kindness, so I have to repay it?" Qin Guanyue smiled.

The man in white raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?"

"I don't know if the two are missing children, apprentices or godsons, I will fill up the number, and I will cover life, old age, death and burial."

The man in Xuanyi laughed at the words, "What kind of son do I want you to be, and it's not like you can't give birth by yourself?"

Qin Guanyue's tone was drawn out, and she glanced at the two of them, "That's not necessarily the case."

"Is it okay to be a slave or a handmaid?"

"Only be a son and daughter, not a slave."

The man in white groaned for a while and said, "There's no need to be a son, I just need an apprentice."

"Meet the master." Qin Guanyue bent down and knelt.

The man in white suddenly smiled meaningfully, he simply squatted down and looked at her, "Do you know who I am?"

"do not know."

"If you want to follow me, you can't go back on your word."

"it is good."

"Then come with me."

"where to?"

"Qin Tianjian."

Qin Tianjian...

Qin Guanyue was surprised, the co-author is still an official?
"Let's go." The man in white stretched out his hand to her.

Qin Guanyue glanced at his outstretched hand, and smiled, "I'm very dirty, so I won't touch you, master. You walk slowly, and I'll follow."

The man in black was quite satisfied with the little beggar's knowledge of current affairs, "That's right, it's quite well-behaved."

Qin Guanyue turned to look at the man in white, "Shall we go to the city?"

The man in white shook his head, "No."

Qin Guanyue felt a little pity, she actually wanted to say hello to that boy.

I heard the man in black say again, "This is already a dead city."

"..."

Qin Guanyue turned her head to look at the dilapidated city not far away, then turned and left.

The next moment she was pushed awake.

Opening her eyes and looking at the pale white curtain in front of her, she realized that she was dreaming again, and she also dreamed of the time when she first entered Qin Tianjian ten years ago.

"Dreaming again?" asked the boy in black standing outside the curtain.

"Well, I dreamed about the miserable days of being a beggar before entering Qintianjian."

She stretched herself, put on her clothes and got out of bed, "Is someone here?"

"People have arrived in Pingchuan."

"It's pretty fast."

Qin Guanyue yawned, walked to the dressing table and sat down after washing.

In the mirror is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a little cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, but she is not gorgeous.

Hair tied with a jade crown, a bright yellow and white robe added to the body, and a palace sash on the waist, the girl in the mirror is already dressed as a teenager.

Qin Guanyue carelessly wrapped her fingers around the bright yellow palace sash around her waist, and the young man in black behind her followed her step by step. After walking out of the courtyard, all the way to pavilions and pavilions, all the people coming and going were all dressed in white and wearing jade crowns and wearing palace sash All the teenagers and girls stepped forward to salute respectfully.

"I have seen Senior Brother Qin."

"..."

After she stepped through the tall and wide Xuanhu Gate, she looked at the rolling hills ahead, surrounded by white mist, with towering mountains and rivers on the left and right, and an endless path running through the foot of the mountain. There are thousands of people flocking here.

"Where did you say he was?"

"plain."

"Pingchuan is only two miles away, it seems that he has encountered pursuers." Qin Guanyue raised his eyebrows.

"I'll go meet you."

"Need not."

Qin Guanyue looked down at the dense crowd of people at her feet, brushed up her clothes, and sat on the stone steps with her horizontal sword on her knees.

The disciples behind him watched curiously.

Xie Yufang woke up early and saw his senior brother's casual and unrestrained posture, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing, senior brother?"

Qin Guanyue held her chin and replied, "Wait for someone."

Xie Yu was even more at a loss, "Who are you waiting for?"

She stopped answering, but raised her hand, "Ring the bell first."

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, heavy bells rang out from the vermilion and white palace behind him, one after another.

Until the nine strikes, it shakes the world.
