She Is Not a Witch

"Hey yo—hey yo—" In the shaking bed, Ye Ling suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the constantly shaking ceiling above his head.

This is, by the way, this is inside the boat, and I came by boat with my family.

Ye Ling sat up all of a sudden, then rubbed his eyes again, and stood up.

Pushing open the door of the cabin, the yelling outside became more and more clear. Ye Ling quickly walked to the deck, leaned on the railing and looked down, and found that the yelling was the boat tracker on the river bank.

Since their family boarded a boat and went down the south of the Yangtze River the night before, it should be almost to Moshang Island by now.

It was not only the Ye family who fled from Luojing that night, most of the other aristocratic families also chose to leave. Although the reputation of the Beifu army was not too bad, if they stayed in the city, they would be like meat on a chopping board, which was unacceptable.

It's just that unlike other aristocratic families that go south and west, the Ye family rarely chooses to go east. You must know that the east is also a battlefield now, and the Beifu army will confront King Huainan again, and the battle will continue.

However, after discussions between the elders of the Ye family and the head of the family, they finally chose this path. There are actually many reasons.

First of all, you can take the waterway to the east and go down the river, and the speed will be much faster, avoiding possible pursuers and robbers along the way. In addition, some counties in the east have been swept by wars, and there are not many big forces. The family can also protect themselves easily. In the end, there is a special reason. Ye Ling is not clear about this. She has never cared about such troublesome things. Just leave it to her brothers and uncles. If you want to fight Just call her again.

After watching the boat trackers by the river for a while, Ye Ling was about to cross this difficult distance, and Ye Ling ran to the top of the boat again, where Ye Zhen seemed to be talking to others.

"I just received a message from the black bird." The clansman from Yefu came behind Yezhen.

"How's it going?"

"After the Beifu army took control of Luojing, they did not massacre. Instead, they recruited Qiu Guan, convicted and executed many people who had defected to the new king. They also searched the mansions of these people, and rewarded many soldiers under their command."

"What about the other people, I mean what is the situation of the other aristocratic families that remain neutral in Luo Jingzhong?"

"These, the Beifu army has not pursued them all the time, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief." Although many people from the Ye family left during the night, a small number of people were left in Luojing to continue to wait and see the situation. After all, many assets are It would be a pity to give up those who cannot be taken away suddenly. It is better to let some tribesmen who are willing to take risks take over the guards.

"It's so good." Ye Zhen also let out a long sigh of relief, shaking his head.

"The army of the Beifu was able to enter Luojing without looting. It is so disciplined and rare. No wonder the late emperor praised it endlessly." There are many wealthy families in Luojing, and the wealth accumulated is unknown. It is rare to be able to keep one's heart and not take advantage of the fire. .

"Yes, many aristocratic families in Luojing also felt this, and donated a lot of food and property to reward the army as a token of gratitude."

"Hehe, it's the same for me. Just give the Beifu army a good name so that they will hesitate a lot when they want to plunder again." Ye Zhen shook the folding fan in his hand, not knowing what those old foxes were thinking. Although he is not very old, he grew up in this Luo Jing family, and he understands many of them through his ears and eyes.

"Let's not talk about that, how was the emperor that day? When we left that night, the dragon chariot sank to the west. Many people thought that the emperor was buried in the sea of ​​flames, but some people said that they saw that the emperor did not die, but left on the dragon. "

"This..." At this moment, the clansman hesitated before continuing.

"It is true that the emperor did not die in Luojing. The Beifu army also sent dragon riders to chase after him, but it seems that he disappeared again and there is no news."

"Oh, are you missing?" Ye Zhen was also a little puzzled.

Although escaping from the Beifu army requires caution, in fact there are not many remaining dragonriders in the Beifu army, and the emperor is not under such great pressure that he is completely silent.

In the final analysis, the most important thing for the Son of Heaven is the righteousness. If everyone thinks you are dead, it will be meaningless when you "resurrect" and reappear.

Even if the emperor leaves Luojing, as long as he shouts all the way, he can continuously gather forces and manpower from all states to strengthen himself. There is no need to be so low-key, because it will only damage his own reputation and make the emperor's prestige continue to fall , You don't even have the courage to show yourself, how can you talk about ruling the world.

Unable to understand the reason for a moment, Ye Zhen could only shake his head. At this time, Ye Ling had already listened to most of it, and then bounced and appeared on the top of the building boat.

"Third brother, what were you talking about just now?"

"Oh, it's Xiaoling, are you awake? How about it, are you still used to taking a boat?" Ye Zhen smiled and looked at Ye Ling who was running towards him.

Although many years have passed, this younger sister is still the same as before, which seems to be very good. Although Ye Ling is not very self-conscious on weekdays, her family actually has high expectations for her, because it is a rare awakening of her blood. In time, it is not impossible for Ye Ling to advance to the ninth level. If the Ye family has a ninth-level 'celestial being' , and it will be much more stable in the future.

"I slept well, but in the morning the boat shook and shook, and then woke me up-O-/" Ye Ling said coquettishly, and then caused the two to laugh.

"It's okay, I won't have to take the boat in two days." Ye Zhen touched Ye Ling's head, and then looked towards the direction of the river.

"Speaking of which, Ye Ling has read the family tree and records of the family. In fact, the ancestral land of our Ye family is not in Luojing."

"Oh, where is that?" Ye Ling was full of curiosity.

"It's in a very remote place, and the customs there are actually very different from the outside world..."

Ye Zhen leisurely recounted the past of his ancestors hundreds of years ago.

———

Xuanyuanzhou, see You City, visit You Academy.

Lorraine Hill and an old man were sitting in the small yard of the courtyard.

A few dead leaves fell on the stone table, some were brittle. Under the blowing of the wind, they rubbed against the stone table and made a slight sound. The two sat on the cool stone bench and looked at the scenery in the yard, talking about the recent things .

"His Royal Highness Luo Lan, can you hear about the death of the new king?" The old man was wearing a black and white loose gown, with a long beard, and spoke slowly.

"Well, I just received the news this morning." The Xiangyu faction will send the recent major events to Lorraine Hill with birds.

"The new king was overthrown. Although we are surprised by this, we are not too surprised. The strength of the Beifu army is well known in the world." He said slowly.

"It's just that, in the end, the new monarch didn't die at the hands of the Beifu army, but was killed by the remonstrance evil Fire Crow Sect."

"Is there anything special about the Remonstrance Fire Crow Gate?" Lorraine Hill was a little curious. Today, she was wearing a well-fitting long skirt with blue silk hanging down her shoulders, which was extraordinarily soft. Compared with before, she seemed to have a slightly more mature temperament.

"There are also seniors in our academy who have visited and commented on the Tianxiamen, but there are very few reports about the evil Huoyamen."

"This faction acts in a special way. Their main purpose is to conceal themselves and monitor secretly. They rarely reveal their identities, but every time they reveal their identities, it means that something big has happened."

"The last time it appeared was more than 300 years ago, when the 'Breaking Night Taiyin Palace' was involved in the battle for the emperor's succession, and the 'Admonishing the Evil Fire Crow Gate' broke through the gate, killing the head and the upper core disciples one by one. , All the true disciples abolished their cultivation and scattered all directions, and the entire sect turned into a sea of ​​flames and burned up."

"Its behavior, or not to shoot, once it appears, it is extremely cruel and daunting."

"If the 'Yuyan Red Ray Gate' represents Chifeng's soft and benevolent side, then the 'Remonstrating Evil Fire Crow Gate' represents Chifeng's stern and cruel side."

"Your Highness Luolan, if you want to become a character like Chifeng, I have a few suggestions for you."

"Well, what's the matter?" The girl turned sideways and looked at the old man in charge of the academy in front of her.

"People's hearts are changeable, and their desires are hard to fill. Although Huairou's kindness is praised by the world, it is also easy to be deceived by treacherous people. There are always people with bad intentions and hard to influence..."

"So..." Lorraine Hill seemed to have realized something. In fact, she vaguely understood many things as soon as she said them.

"That's why someone needs to come to be the king's forerunner and impose strict punishments to correct the atmosphere."

He slowly explained in a relatively cryptic way, but Lorraine Hill could understand it, roughly that Lorraine Hill also needs to show his bottom line of principles, and the resulting sternness and cruelty, in order to deter Xiaoxiao and warn those who have evil intentions people.

"That's it..." Lorraine Hill was thoughtful. In fact, she understood what the old man meant, but it seemed a bit unbearable to let her be as cruel as "Admonishing the Evil Fire Crow Gate".

The curved and slender eyebrows are slightly condensed on the beautiful face. If anyone else sees this girl's sad appearance, I'm afraid I feel pity and feel soft-hearted. But at this moment, there is no one to comfort and disturb, only this girl Sort out slowly by yourself.

"I see." With a faint sigh, Lorraine Hill nodded.

Seeing the girl's sad face, the old man sighed in his heart, this is a benevolent phoenix, which is a blessing to the world, but sometimes it makes people inexplicably worried, will such a girl be bullied by some people? , it is hard to rest assured.

"If your Highness is in a difficult situation, you don't have to worry about it. There are priorities, and your Highness doesn't need to focus too much on this. You can choose some of the people under your command or followers to be the ones who will supervise the punishment."

After that, the two talked about some things about governing the country and how to appease all continents in the world. The dean of Fangyou Academy, who was an official in Luojing when he was young, knew a lot of things. This academy also learned a lot about the government structure of the dynasty, and also learned a lot of hidden history and past events in the dynasty.

Jianyou City in Xuanyuan Continent was established a little earlier than the dynasty, and the bottom of the abyss is quiet and secluded, the climate is cool and dry, and there are many ancient books preserved, which are the treasures of the academy.

As a faction that majors in the Nine Necromancers (Necromantic Sequence), I have seen the predecessor of Youcheng. In the early years of "Xunyoumen", some necromancers who escaped from the Western Continent joined in. This is also what made Lorraine Hill open I have gained a lot of insight, and found some notes recording the past events of the Mercury Dynasty.

There are many records about witches, such as Trinasha, Dorothy, Hades, etc. Among them, what surprised Lorraine Hill was the deeds of the ancestors of the Trey family, even if there were only a few hundred words, But it also made her sigh.

It is said that the ancestor of the Trey family was a slave who was sold to the orc empire. Later, when the army of the Mercury Dynasty broke through the orc fortress, they were rescued by a group of people. At that time, the consul Dorothy was leading the army.

At that time, among the crowd of slaves, the boy's eyes were particularly clear. He vowed to take revenge and drive out all the orcs who killed his family. Dorothy also gave him a few basic books, and then helped him Take a name.

"Or, let's call it Trey, which means black eyes." At that time, Dorothy was wearing a black witch's robe that was close to the body, and she bent down to look at the boy kneeling on the ground in front of her, because Bending over, part of the curve and fairness of the chest were revealed, which made the young man feel a little shy, and lowered his head in bewilderment.

"Hee hee, what a cute little one." In Dorothy's eyes, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was just like a child, full of youthfulness and childishness.

Afterwards, the young man gradually learned knowledge from Dorothy's side, and then set foot on the battlefield. Many years later, he became a famous general in the dynasty and passed on his name. I don't know how, it is only because he came from the lowest starting point that he was promoted in the dynasty, and when the Trey family really rises, it will be the matter of the Green Empire more than two thousand years later.

Over a long period of time, the loss and inheritance in the middle, perhaps the Trey family at that time did not know the deeds of their ancestors, Lorraine Hill lamented the ruthlessness and magic of time, and in the end Dorothy died in the Under the spear of the Trey family.

After staying in this abyss for a month, Lorraine Hill and the teachers and students in the academy also had a lot of conversations. Both parties have gained a lot. Lorraine Hill has learned a lot from the academy about the early days of the dynasty. , The origin and source of the major visits, the students of these academies have also been impacted by many Western theories, and amazed by the changes in the entire society brought about by technological innovation.

When it was time to leave, the dean led a group of students to bid farewell to Lorraine Hill in the courtyard.

"The books and skills passed down by Your Highness, I will redouble my study and spread them, so as to live up to His Highness Lorraine's painstaking efforts." The head of the academy bowed and replied sincerely and gratefully.

Knowledge has always been precious, especially when it is the most cutting-edge knowledge and theory in the West. Just one month of exploration has made many people enlightened and opened a new door.

It's a pity that this Highness is the Goddess of Heaven, and the phoenix is ​​coming to this world, so it is impossible to teach here specifically, and they can only rely on books and records in the future to explore and experiment by themselves.

"Actually, I also have selfish intentions, because I need more people to help me~www.readwn.com~ Lorraine Hill helped the old man up and spoke slowly.

"No, no, what is selfishness? It is selfishness. Your Highness cares about the world. How can you call it 'private'..." Then the old man said a long word of gratitude and praise for Lorraine Hill to listen to. I'm a little embarrassed.

Why do you feel a kind of shyness when you are praised by others? Lorraine Hill asked himself, and then looked at the pair of expectant and hopeful eyes below, and suddenly had an answer in his heart.

Maybe it's because I understand the responsibility of carrying hope.

For myself, I can get a little happiness, and for everyone, I can get more satisfaction and happiness. In the final analysis, I am still not detached.

However, what is the meaning of detachment? If you abandon everything, it is like peeling an onion layer by layer until the end, leaving nothing.

Sometimes it takes more courage and perseverance to be a fool.

It is not necessary to peel all the onions, the meaning of life lies in the cracks.
