The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 178: No worse than men
"Third sister?!"

"What’s wrong with you?!"

Seeing the third sister being carried up the mountain by several girls, Li Xinni was immediately shocked. She put down the things in her hands and hurriedly stepped forward with a worried look on her face.

However, the third sister had fallen into a coma at this time, and no matter how Li Xinni called, there was no response.

At this time, several girls who carried the third sister on their backs quickly told the situation at that time.

When she heard that someone was actually chasing her third sister, Li Xinni's face became even paler, and there were tears in her eyes.

Thinking of how her third sister cared about her, Li Xinni felt even more uncomfortable.

"Call Xiaojiu quickly, she knows medical skills!"

"Yes! Call Xiaojiu quickly!"

Hearing this, Li Xinni also reacted. She didn't have time to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and then made way for a girl named Xiaojiu.

The girls who gathered around couldn't help crying when they saw Li Xinni crying in sadness. At the same time, they comforted Li Xinni and told her not to worry.

Xiaojiu quickly checked the third sister's pulse, then checked her complexion, and then said: "It's okay, it's just a superficial injury, and it doesn't hurt the root. It just needs a period of cultivation."

Hearing Xiaojiu's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Xinni's eyes turned from worry to confusion when she looked at her third sister.

"Sister, let us wash up the third sister..."

……

Li Xinni returned to her room with a solemn expression. She naturally knew what her third sister was busy with, but she didn't expect that it would be so dangerous.

It will actually attract others to chase you!

It's just that the third sister hasn't woken up yet and doesn't know the specific situation.

Bai Zhi was naturally aware of the situation at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"The Han Dynasty is about to fall..."

The forces in various places have begun to develop and grow, and their strength has reached the peak of strength. I am afraid that it won't be long before the big man who looks strong but is actually weak will be destroyed!
What happened today was just a duel between two secret forces.

As for Li Xinni's third sister, Bai Zhi has already guessed who it is, and she is a person who has left a strong mark on history books, a legendary woman.

That was Princess Pingyang during the Tang Dynasty.

In the original history, Princess Pingyang's father Li Yuan was the Duke of Tang. The Sui Dynasty at that time was already showing signs of collapse, so Li Yuan secretly prepared to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

At this time, his third daughter happened to be in Chang'an, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and was already married, so he wrote to her daughter about his plan.

Obviously, Li Yuan in history had great trust in his third daughter, otherwise he would not have revealed his rebellion plan in the letter.

In history, after the third sister received the letter, she immediately asked her husband to leave Chang'an, while she stayed in Chang'an or near Chang'an to recruit troops.

When the world's rebellion against the Sui Dynasty took shape, forces from all over the country wanted to invade Chang'an City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. However, at this time, the Third Sister had been prepared for a long time, and with strong troops and horses, she took the lead and occupied Chang'an City.

It helped Li Yuan a lot, which also enabled Li Yuan to rebel in 617 AD, proclaim himself emperor in 618 AD, and establish the Tang Dynasty.

After that, we can successfully establish our capital in Chang'an.

The first thing Li Yuan did after becoming emperor was to canonize his third daughter as Princess Pingyang.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh, looking at the busy women in the palace below and the seriously injured Third Sister.

It seems that achievements are not so easy to establish and obtain.

If there were not these women on Lishan Mountain at this time, I am afraid that the third sister would also be in bad luck.

However, the third sister was obviously also a heroine, with countless battles and meritorious deeds. After her death, she was buried with military honors, which was obviously a great honor.

A few days passed by in a flash, and the third sister woke up early. When she found herself in a palace, confusion immediately appeared on her face.

Then he felt relieved.

At this time, Li Xinni pushed the door open and saw the awakened third sister, with a smile on her face.

"Sister, you are awake!"

"Ok!"

The third sister nodded, then looked at Li Xinni with a surprised look on her face, and sighed: "Sister, I thought you just adopted some poor women and raised them outside the city, but you never thought that they are actually on top of Lishan Mountain!"

The third sister had a look of sigh on her face, and then she looked at Li Xinni and asked, "But, isn't this Lishan unable to..."

"Of course we can!"

Li Xinni said softly, then put the tonic medicine in her hand aside, and then said: "Sister, please take the medicine quickly..."

"You guys can..."

Hearing this, the third sister suddenly looked stunned, and then lowered her eyes, feeling unclear in her heart.

Finally, he said: "It seems that my sister is far inferior to you, my sister..."

After the third sister finished drinking the medicine, Li Xinni continued to ask: "Then why is sister like this?"

"I……"

The third sister looked at Li Xinni and said, "With your intelligence, sister, you should be able to guess..."

Having said this, the third sister paused and said with emotion: "Sister, you are smarter than me, and your swordsmanship is better than my sister. If it were you doing this, you would do better."

"Sister knows, sister doesn't like these..."

Hearing the rejection in Li Xinni's words, the third sister didn't care.

He began to think about himself and said: "This big man is about to fall. All heroes in the world have ambitions. In less than a year, heroes will inevitably rise up. By then, I don't know what will happen to Lishan."

"However, with the protection of the divine bird, everything should be fine."

The third sister asked herself and answered, "As for you, sister, you are doing well on top of Mount Li. At least you won't suffer from the war. As for my father..."

The third sister paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, I will go and tell my father, so you don't have to worry."

The third sister comforted Li Xinni.

The top of Lishan Mountain is not accessible to ordinary people, and it was undoubtedly the first time for Third Sister to come here, so she asked Li Xinni to take her around Lishan Mountain.

"These are all the palaces built during the Emperor Wu period, and at the top is the real Divine Bird Palace. They are all palaces from the pre-Qin period..."

A young girl, dressed in coarse linen clothes, looked like a village girl, but her soft face made her look like an extraordinary woman.

A woman whose face has the faint traces of age, but is somewhat graceful and noble, and also somewhat heroic. She wears powerful clothes and moves swiftly.

The two of them climbed up the steps and gradually reached the highest palace.

"I heard that there are soldiers guarding Lishan Mountain. They have been there since the Qin Dynasty. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Of course it's true..."

Li Xinni paused, and then said: "And it is true that it existed in the pre-Qin period..."

The word "you" at this time specifically refers to the people who guard the Bird Palace, who are all descendants of people from the pre-Qin period.

The two of them chatted while going up the mountain, just like a pair of sisters on a mountaineering outing.

Finally, the two of them came to the real Divine Bird Palace. The main hall of the Divine Bird Palace at the top was built in the pre-Qin period architectural style, and the same was true for the side halls on both sides.

Although it is full of traces of time and has a heavy sense of history, the building is still intact and has not been damaged or collapsed.

Obviously, later generations often repaired it and tried their best to restore its original style.

"Is the divine bird...here?"

The third sister asked cautiously.

"Nature is here."

Li Xinni nodded, "But the divine bird is not as majestic and ferocious as the rumors say. On the contrary, it is very approachable and makes people feel more friendly." "Otherwise, the divine bird will not take in these poor girls and allow me to take care of them in the mountain. .”

"yes……"

The third sister saw that the divine bird had not appeared for a long time, and realized that she had no chance to see the divine bird, so she turned around and started to go down the mountain, saying at the same time:
"It's time for me to leave, Yamashita... there are still important things that I need to deal with."

"……it is good."

Li Xinni nodded, but added: "Sister will inevitably encounter danger at the bottom of the mountain. Why don't you let me let the two of you go down the mountain to protect your sister?"

"protect me?"

Hearing this, the third sister couldn't help being stunned. At the same time, she understood who the "two people" Li Xinni mentioned were, but she quickly refused and said: "What I am doing is very dangerous, so I better not let them follow me..."

"It doesn't matter. There are a few girls who have reached the age. Originally, I planned to find a suitable husband for them. But they obviously don't want to marry so easily. It's better to let them follow their sister."

"Don't worry, they are quite talented in swordsmanship and are literate. One of them is quite talented in strategy..."

After hearing this, the third sister couldn't refuse.

"...Okay, thank you sister."

"You and my sister, why do you need to do this?"

"but……"

Li Xinni suddenly paused, looked at the third sister, and said seriously: "When the time comes, they will follow their elder sister and hope that she will take care of them. They grew up in the mountains and have never felt the sinister people at the bottom of the mountain. Don't let others bully them!"

"nature."

…………

A few days later, Li Xinni stood on the mountain path and watched the back of her third sister leaving. At the same time, there were two women following her third sister.

They carried two wooden swords on their backs and turned back three times with each step, full of reluctance to see Li Xinni above them.

But in the end, we went down the mountain.

Perhaps one day, Li Xinni on the mountain will hear news about them, or the legend about them.

The girls who stayed on the mountain naturally knew that two older sisters had gone down the mountain, and they also knew that this was the choice of those two sisters.

You can choose whether to stay on the mountain, go down the mountain, or find a good husband and live a stable life.

On this mountain, no one can force them, allowing them to truly control their own destiny.

This makes them value their current life very much.

As time went by, half a year passed quickly again.

But at the bottom of the mountain, there was indeed turmoil.

Every time the girls on the mountain go down, they will be very careful and at the same time inquire about the situation down the mountain.

Either a general from a certain county in the west rebelled, or a certain governor from the south did not respect the emperor's order and recruited troops.

Or maybe there are thieves who have invaded Chang'an.

Even in the end, dignitaries from Chang'an City invaded the imperial city and captured the emperor.

As for what happened to the emperor in the end, there was a lot of speculation in the city.

But the turmoil at the bottom of the mountain cannot affect the top of Mount Li.

Even if the war spreads to the bottom of Lishan Mountain, some bad guys will not be able to go up the mountain.

But around Chang'an City, there was an unknown group of soldiers and horses. They were not many in number, only more than 1000 people, but they were brave, good at fighting and well-trained.

Moreover, the person leading the troops turned out to be a woman. The woman was highly skilled in martial arts and fought bravely to kill the enemy during the battle.

Next to the woman, there are two women who are also highly skilled in martial arts and good at swordsmanship. They wield long swords with one hand and no one can get close to them.

During each battle, the women leading the troops called themselves the Women's Army and blocked the criminals who wanted to invade Chang'an from outside Chang'an City.

Gradually, the Detachment of Women attracted some people to join the army, and for a time, the Detachment of Women continued to grow.

The world is in turmoil, but the mountains are peaceful.

Bai Zhi opened his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep. However, this time he obviously did not obtain magical powers.

"It's just a nap. If magical powers were so easy to obtain, I'm afraid they wouldn't be called magical powers."

Bai Zhi flew out of the Divine Bird Palace. His red feathers were burning like flames, and his three long tail feathers were embellished with purple light, making him look extraordinary.

There is a purple crest emerging from the top of the sacred bird's head, which adds a bit of auspiciousness to it.

Obviously, this is the harvest of this sleep.

"Is it just a change in appearance?"

Bai Zhi felt the extra purple velvet on his head. It seemed that this crest gave him the majesty of a phoenix.

Of course, it can also be called a phoenix crown.

The phoenix crown is entirely purple, and even exudes a faint purple starlight, which complements the purple feathers on the tail feathers.

"I don't know what's going on in the world..."

Bai Zhi withdrew his attention from the changes in his body, and then looked outside Lishan Mountain.

Immediately, the scenery behind him changed instantly. When he looked down, he saw the huge Chang'an City under his feet.

He stood high above Chang'an City, lowered his head to observe, and soon came to a conclusion.

"It turns out that there was a treacherous official in the city who poisoned the current emperor, and troops from all over the country came to the capital to Qingjun's side..."

Bai Zhi sighed slightly.

As for whether the emperor was poisoned, who can know.

As for whether there are treacherous ministers in the court, it may be true.

However, the words that powerful people from all over the Han Dynasty raised troops to the capital to clear the emperor's side are probably false.

Shaking his head, Bai Zhi returned to Lishan again, no longer paying attention to things outside.

When Bai Zhi came to the palace below, he found that there seemed to be more girls in the palace. From a rough look, there should be nearly a hundred people.

And it is quite difficult for these hundreds of people to live in the mountains.

Bai Zhi looked into the mountains and forests. Sure enough, most of the land in the mountains and forests was planted with sweet potatoes.

There are also girls who are constantly weaving to subsidize their families.

In their free time, they work as female celebrities together, read together, practice swordplay together, talk together, and dream about a better life in the future.

The childishness on Li Xinni's face has also faded a bit, and she has gained the maturity unique to a woman. Her face is more beautiful, and her figure is more graceful.

Even simple clothes can't hide it.

She came to Bai Zhi's side, her beautiful eyes looked at the phoenix crown on Bai Zhi's head in surprise, and then she looked away for a moment and said, "Some women have already come down the mountain."

"However, most of them followed my third sister."

Li Xinni sighed, "They studied classics in the mountains and experienced misery. Perhaps their horizons have been broadened. They think they are no worse than men, and they also want to make contributions on war horses!"

"Although this is very difficult, I agree. After all, it is their own choice."

"And outside, with the protection of Third Sister, I shouldn't be bullied by men."

"Some women have even sent some money and food to support the underage girls on the mountain..."
