The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 179 Female Palace
"Of course, there are also some who choose Ruyi Liangjun."

Speaking of this, Li Xinni also put on a smile on her face and said: "It's a coincidence that the good men they chose are the soldiers who guard the Bird Palace on the mountain."

"Perhaps it's the tower near the water that gets the moon first!"

Bai Zhi echoed from the side.

"Which one gets the moon first in Yishui Tower?"

Li Xinni whispered this sentence softly, and then agreed with her face, "Maybe!"

"Of course, there are also people who go down the mountain, saying they are looking for their relatives. I wonder if they can successfully find them..."

Speaking of this, Li Xinni's tone was full of worry.

"They all have martial arts skills and are literate. They should not be deceived by others or bullied by bad people. Even if they are defeated, they will escape..."

Li Xinni murmured to herself, her tone full of worry.

"However, we live on Lishan Mountain, but it also aroused the curiosity of the people below the mountain. They saw that we were all women and gave us a name..."

"what name?"

Bai Zhi couldn't help but be curious.

"The palace."

"The palace?"

Bai Zhi was stunned. This name was indeed not easy to think of.

"They are all women's palaces, so they are called women's palaces."

Li Xinni said: "Obviously, they also know that we live in the palace on this mountain..."

"The Female Palace...perhaps this is the prototype of the Jianghu sect..."

"The sect of the rivers and lakes?"

Li Xinni frowned slightly, looking at Bai Zhi with doubts in his eyes.

Obviously, the words "Jianghu Sect" are an unfamiliar vocabulary in this era. When Bai Zhi saw this, he did not explain it. He said with some interest in his words:

"In that case, I went out to customize a plaque and changed the plaque above the palace to the word "Female Palace".

"And after the women here go out, they can also tell people outside that they are from the Women's Palace, or from the Women's Palace. The women who go out are more united and help each other, and they are not afraid of being bullied."

"wonderful!"

Hearing this, Li Xinni's eyes lit up, her face became brighter, and she nodded immediately, "This method is wonderful, thank you Divine Bird for your guidance!"

After that, without talking to Bai Zhi, he walked out of the courtyard and directed a few girls to make the plaques themselves.

In just half a day, a new plaque was hung on the palace.

"The palace..."

Looking at the new plaque, nearly a hundred women raised their pretty faces with curiosity on their faces.

And Li Xinni naturally repeated what Bai Zhi said just now, which also surprised all the girls.

Hanging a plaque of a female palace seems to give them a place of belonging to the outside world in a sense.

Looking at the hanging plaque, Li Xinni's eyes also filled with joy, and at the same time, the satisfaction in her heart became a little more fulfilling.

……

Outside Chang'an City.

The sky was gloomy, as if an inkstone had overturned, soaking the heaven and earth. The dark sky heralded the coming heavy rain.

On the official road to Chang'an City, there are tall willow trees standing on both sides.The silk ribbons of the willow tree hang low, like young women standing, with their long hair blowing in the wind.

Because of the cloudy sky, it was even darker under the willow trees.

On the streets, there were few pedestrians and fewer merchants. Even if there were any, they were all on guard, walking in a hurry and not daring to stay.

"The current situation is turbulent. Even the area around the capital city of Chang'an is not stable. There is a severe drought in the Central Plains, and the sand in the Western Regions is eroding... Alas!"

There were businessmen chatting with each other, their faces were solemn, and they hurried to Chang'an City.

There are many more scenes like this.

However, Chang'an City is located on the official road, and there are far fewer pedestrians and merchants.

After all, the world is already in chaos, with thieves and warlords everywhere, and it is not easy to do business everywhere.

Today, Li Xinni took the two girls down the mountain. This was the first time she had come down the mountain since she climbed to the Bird Palace.

And everything below the mountain seems to have become a lot stranger.

Outside Chang'an City, it is no longer as bustling and lively as it was two years ago.

Instead, it feels a bit more desolate and desolate.

Li Xinni is now 16 years old. If she were at home, she would have reached the age of hairpin, and she might have started to look for a good husband for her.

But at this time on Lishan Mountain, naturally no one would force her anymore.

Behind her were two women, both 14 years old. They had ordinary faces, but they were pretty. Although they were not stunning, they were very attractive.

The three of them were all wearing the same style of coarse cloth, and each held a sword in their hands. Only Li Xinni's sword was a real sword.

They came down from Lishan Mountain and then followed the official road to the outside of Chang'an City. Looking at the desolate scene outside Chang'an City and comparing it with the bustling city in their memories, they couldn't help but sigh.

Looking outside the city, there are shacks stretching all over the country. They are all refugees from all over the country. They all thought that Chang'an City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, could provide them with enough food, but Chang'an City would only be the beginning of their pain.

Among them, there are many women and children with numb faces, and there are also domestic slaves of dignitaries in the city wandering around, looking for suitable people to buy or take away by force.

At the same time, Li Xinni also saw the man who sold his son and daughter.

The purpose of coming down the mountain this time is naturally to save more girls.

So the three of them walked directly to the man selling their daughter under the city wall.

When the three people walked by, some people immediately cast surprised looks. In the eyes of the refugees, there was awe, greed, begging, and hope...

At the same time, the slaves of the dignitaries' families in the city suddenly showed surprise when they saw Li Xinni walking over.

Li Xinni's appearance was already extremely beautiful, but among the dirty and messy refugees, she looked like a bright moon, which naturally attracted their attention.

Suddenly, their thoughts became alive, thinking about whether they could bring Li Xinni back to the house. "Who is that person?"

Someone asked out loud.

"I don't know."

"I haven't seen it before, but that woman's appearance is really good. She is even more generous than the courtesan in the brothel!"

"If we bring her back to the mansion, the young master will definitely be happy, and maybe he will reward us well!"

"In that case..."

"..."

Several burly domestic slaves discussed it and came over together immediately.

At this time, Li Xinni's attention was all on the poor girl under the city wall.

In the same way, there are very few people who sell their daughters immediately, but very few who sell their sons.

Or maybe there are men who sell men. After all, men who can work have already been bought by others.

As for daughters, they have been losing money since ancient times. Except for wealthy families who lack maids, and brothels and other fireworks places, no one else will buy them.

At this moment, Li Xinni noticed several burly men walking towards them, and she also guessed that they must be domestic slaves from the homes of high-ranking officials in the city.

So he frowned slightly and moved the two people behind him out of the way, not wanting to conflict with each other.

However, as she stepped aside, the burly domestic slaves also adjusted their pace and walked directly towards them.

"Coming for us!"

The two girls behind him looked wary and couldn't help but clenched the wooden swords in their hands.

"Who are you?"

Several burly servants came up and asked seriously, looking at Li Xinni unscrupulously.

This made Li Xinni frown immediately, feeling a little disgusted in her heart.

"We are from the palace!"

"The palace?"

Obviously, several burly domestic slaves did not know what the female palace was and looked a little confused.

At the same time, she was also a little confused. After all, she was afraid that the concubine Li Xinni said was from a high family and would cause some trouble.

However, a person on the side obviously knew, so he quickly explained: "Brother, I have heard about this women's palace. I heard that there is a group of women who often appear on Lishan Mountain. People at the bottom of the mountain speculate that they are in the Divine Bird Palace on Lishan Mountain and many other places. They live in the palace, so they are called the female palace, and they are the people of the female palace.”

"I see!"

When the leader of the burly slaves heard this, he suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out to be the female palace..."

Judging from her tone, she seemed to be very familiar with the palace.

"All of your women's palaces are women?!"

In an instant, the other party also captured the keyword.

"This is even better!"

At the same time, there was a hint of lewdness in his tone.

Hearing this, the two women behind Li Xinni immediately became furious, their pretty faces full of shame and anger.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this, several burly domestic slaves burst out laughing wildly.

"Please get out of the way!"

Li Xinni, with a plain face, wanted to avoid it with two women.However, several domestic slaves still refused to let go, and instead stood in front of the three of them.

"Are you teasing us as ordinary women?"

Li Xinni's tone couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"So what?"

Several burly servants knew Li Xinni's origins, and no longer had any worries in their hearts. They thought that with the power of their master, they would not be afraid of any female concubines.

Maybe they will be charged with trespassing in Lishan Mountain.

After all, not everyone can enter Lishan Mountain.

"Clang!"

There was a sound of metal trembling, and the long sword in Li Xinni's hand was immediately unsheathed. A cold light suddenly shone on the faces of several burly slaves, causing them to take a few steps back.

The two women behind Li Xinni also took out their wooden swords and made sword-drawing gestures.

"Don't make the mistake of yourselves!"

Li Xinni's tone was still cold, like a dormant tiger that could burst out and hurt people at any time.

"Hey, the little lady is quite fierce!"

Seeing Li Xinni draw his sword, the slave became even more excited.

But at this time he threatened: "You dare to do harm to us?!"

"Do you know whose house I belong to!?"

"My master is the prime minister of the dynasty!"

After announcing their identity, the slaves looked at Li Xinni and the others with even bigger smiles on their faces.

In the past, as long as they did this, whenever they announced their family status, some beautiful women did not dare to resist, and then they could take the beautiful women away.

As for the beautiful woman’s family or her husband, it’s none of their business!
However, at this time, things were obviously not like usual.

And what answered them was a cold light!
"Pfft!"

The long sword crossed!
