From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

The third year of Qianyuan.

The Zhao Emperor of the Liyang Dynasty agreed on a marriage with Xu Xiao, a king of a different surname who was enfeoffed to guard the four states of Northern Liang.

The emperor is willing to marry his favorite Princess Suizhu, Zhao Fengya, to the Prince of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian, but there has been an unwritten rule in Liyang since the time of the previous emperor, that is, the prince consort is not allowed to leave the capital.

Obviously, the secret plotting had already begun quietly since the birth of the Prince of Beiliang.

This matter was originally a natural outcome, and the news seeped into the streets and alleys with the instigation of certain people.

Unfortunately, an unexpected incident interrupted the progress of the event.

During the autumnal equinox, a cavalry unit from the Beimang outside the border went south to forage for grass in the valley. After encountering several scouts of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, they got lost and "accidentally" advanced into Liangzhou City, and "happened" to run into the group of the Beiliang prince who were out hunting.

Due to the recklessness of Crown Prince Xu Fengnian, the entire entourage was wiped out, and the second son and eldest daughter of a provincial governor were also killed.

The King of Beiliang was furious and went to the governor in person to apologize. In a rage, he exiled the crown prince Xu Fengnian and prohibited him from returning to Liang for three years.

Therefore, the marriage was forced to be put on hold and undercurrents arose on all sides.

But in Jizhou, north of Liyang, this land is outside the vortex.

As a buffer zone between Northern Liang and the two Liao states, Jizhou has never had a good time.

There is neither the magnificent wars and iron horses of the frontier nor the gentleness and elegance of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

To the north, it is bordered by the two county towns of Yinyao City and Hengshui City, which resist the Northern Wilderness cavalry who come south to hunt before winter every year.

But ever since the Beimang cavalry had repeatedly run into trouble in Beiliang and the two Liao states, life in Jizhou had become increasingly difficult.

……

Hengshui City, Lower City District.

A crow swooped down from the sky, then flew across the street, bypassing the high walls of the mansions and the taverns where scholars drank and sang, flapping its wings over the heads of the guards in the inner and outer cities, and finally landing on the loess wall of the simple courtyard.
The gate to the courtyard had long been dilapidated, and the beams of the house were broken. When the autumn wind blew a little stronger, dirt and debris would fall down. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the green water in the water tank with a jagged edge gave off a foul smell.

The crow lifted its wings to preen its feathers.

Legend has it that at dusk, when the sun sets, the crow's feathers appear extremely colorful from this perspective, so luxurious that they could make any silk dull, but because of its color, habits and song, the meaning of this bird gradually evolved into a bad omen.

In the yard, the chest of the young man lying on the ground in the corner began to breathe from a certain moment. On the chest of his thin clothes, there was a palm print that was quite shallow but black.

Then a pair of cold eyes opened.

He scanned the surroundings one by one, and when there was no one within three feet, he continued to look at the corner.

Feeling the cold breath, the crow froze for a moment, then continued to peck at the feathers.

After the boy woke up, this dilapidated courtyard seemed to come alive. It was indeed because the other party had a natural and divine appearance. However, his indifferent expression was too unsightly. The last stroke of the dragon painting was not only not the finishing touch, but also violently split the entire painting.

It's a waste of natural resources.

The first thing Jiang Yuan did after regaining consciousness was to reach out and grab the half-man-high weeds next to him.

Although they are not strong at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they are not weak either.

He pulled out the weeds and stuffed them into his mouth casually, leaving the crow on the loess wall stunned for a while.

A few minutes later, the corner had become empty. Dense footsteps sounded from outside the wall, and then approached the gate. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 people rushed in, all wearing iron armor, all of them were strong and muscular, with swords on their waists and strong bows on their backs.

Its armor was made of thousands of fish scales and hundreds of long strips of armor, with round metal guards on the chest and back, which were polished to be extremely smooth, much like a mirror, and glowed under the dim sunset.

Compared with wooden armor, leather armor and the like, this kind of fine iron armor ranks first among the thirteen grades, and is the most effective against the enemy. The ancients said: "This is a ferocious iron beast," and they all avoided it.

At the front of the team of armored soldiers, a handsome young man was holding a jeweled knife in his hand, wearing deerskin boots, a sachet and a jade waist, and an embroidered headband. He was wearing a duck-cheek fur coat with arrow sleeves on both hands. This kind of clothing was made of wild duck cheek fur and was most suitable for the upcoming cold winter in Jizhou.

The young man glanced at someone in the corner, looked at his appearance, and frowned unconsciously.

"Master, please focus on the master's important matters first."

Beside him, a middle-aged aide dressed like a scholar spoke up to remind him.

"I don't need you to remind me," the handsome young man said with a slightly unhappy look on his face. He immediately waved his hand, and more than 20 soldiers drew their bows and arrows at the same time, forming an arc like a full moon.

Although the Jizhou Army is not as impressive as those in Liang and Liao, for a century-old family like the Han family, the family's private soldiers are still able to serve as a force to be reckoned with during times of war.

In fact, there were five teams of soldiers surrounding the old house, which meant an astonishing fifty sets of iron armor.

People in the martial arts world use force to break the law, but ever since the King of Beiliang led an army of 300,000 into the martial arts world, it has been generally recognized that unless one's means are extremely high, one cannot break gold and jade.

The arrows shot horizontally, each one powerful and vigorous. The "ice arrows" were very expensive to make, and the arrowheads were forged into a special diamond shape by skilled blacksmiths, which was very suitable for breaking armor and even more suitable for penetrating the body of a warrior.

There was a continuous sound of bullets breaking through the air. After two rounds of firing, an angry roar suddenly sounded in the mansion.

A thin figure, like a wild beast, broke through the wooden door, leaped over the mountain stream like a tiger, landed in the yard, stepped on the ground, and flew out with all his strength, without any intention of turning back.

The two soldiers raised their iron shields and stepped forward, bending their knees and thrusting their bodies forward, firmly withstanding the impact, and then moved sideways to the left and right, brushing against the ground.

The other soldiers stepped forward and skillfully formed a military formation to surround and kill the badly injured beast.

Seeing this, the young man became restless.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged aide interrupted again.

"Young Master is a wealthy man, this is absolutely not allowed."

"You won't allow me to do this or that. You'll be the young master! From now on, you'll be called Han Yushu. If my father sees a son of his age, he might even toast to you, my brother."

The young master of the Han family had a face full of anger. He didn't have to fight with the spy from the Beiliang Fushuifang, but this guy was always meddling in everything and made him lose all the dignity of a head of the family.

Han Yushu was spotted by a wandering Taoist priest when he was born. He was able to walk at the age of three. He happened to "catch" a Taoist priest named Zhao who was stealing food and drink in the kitchen.

Perhaps because of a mysterious fate, the Taoist priest of the highest seniority accepted the baby who urinated on him as his disciple on the spot.

"Standing like a lily and a jade tree, let's call him Han Yushu."

The Han family had no objection to this. As for the Taoist's identity, the Han family could verify it by carefully inquiring since the Minister of Rites was an official in the court. However, after obtaining some obscure results, the Han family members were no longer as happy as before.

The Taoist's name is Zhao Xuansu. He has great powers and is said to have difficulty distinguishing between good and evil, and his moods are unpredictable.

The longer the heritage, the more one understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch. However, as to the impact of this matter on the family, the Han family has no choice but to let it go.
