Although Gong'e wasn't that old, she had surprised the guards outside the pavilion today. She was only in her teens, but she had such a beautiful face. Her face that looked like it was carved from white jade was no different from an ordinary girl's. Compared to the noble clans of the past, she wasn't any less.

"Shaohua is already up," Shopkeeper Su, who was in his forties, walked over with an extraordinary appearance. She lightly glanced at the young girl kneeling below the court and a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes, "I really don't know which sect's luck you got to be able to enter the eyes of Young Master Shaohua and make you into this Hidden Dragon Institute's personal maid. Even though you were sent here by the capital, you still need to know the rules here! "

"This servant wouldn't dare to do so. I'm only loyal to the Lord, serving the Lord of the Youngflame clan." The young girl lowered her head and carried some food. As she walked forward, her light eyebrows revealed a trace of happiness and also a trace of sadness.

Yesterday, she had received special attention from the Sect Leader. She secretly wanted to record every word and action of Shaohua and secretly hand it over to the Sect Leader to report to the Marquis.

When the girl thought of this, her mood completely disappeared. Her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness of the pavilion.

At this point of time, the pavilion had yet to open the Xuan Windows, and the simple yet elegant white curtains that hung from the walls blocked out the sunlight. The pure and elegant incense filled the entire space, spreading out from the center of the mountain furnace. The hundred palace lamps in the surroundings were like lotuses blooming.

The young girl quietly stood outside the room. She took off her shoes, revealing her jade-like legs. Stepping onto the icy cold floor of the room, she quickly walked towards the curtain. There was not a single trace of her footprints or dust on the white jade-like floor, but a warm feeling spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs and bones, dispelling the coldness within the young girl's heart.

This white jade was said to have been taken from Northern Mang Mountain. Because the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass was originally an extinct volcano, the temperature it emitted all year round, causing the warm jade inside the library to not be cold even in winter.

Suddenly, a pair of slender fingers, as white as jade, strummed the seven-stringed zither behind the curtain. Waves of sound flooded in like a tidal wave, causing the girl to feel as if waves were breaking through. At the end, it was a gorgeous array of colors, and one song shocked the world.

The young girl did not dare to enter, so she respectfully stood outside the curtain and waited. In the midst of the surging waves, she seemed to see raging waves crashing against the sky. She was like a lonely young girl in a song, standing in the midst of the sea and the sky, seeming to be as old as the heavens and earth.

The girl didn't know when the string would stop. The elegant curtain fell with the wind, and the zither music dispersed into the library, leaving behind only silence.

"Why is Shaohua so interested in us today?"

The young girl suppressed the fear in her heart and put down her food. She reached out her hand to push open the two great windows on both sides of the library. The sunlight just so happened to seep in through the open windows, causing the simple and elegant white curtains to be as gentle as water waves.

"You know what the song means?" Behind the curtain, there was a faint sound, light and agile like the waves in the ocean.

"The waves are gone, the clouds are angry." The girl who longed for love looked forward to her husband's return from the war, but all she received was a piece of bad news. When her husband returned, the ship had been swallowed up by the sea. So she came to the sea, dressed in her wedding dress, and asked the sea why it had engulfed his benefactor. Playing Heaven Inquiring for thirty years, and waiting for one to never return. "

The white sleeve slowly drooped down. The man behind the curtain was using his bare hands to support his forehead while looking at the young girl through the curtain with charming eyes. He laughed softly and stretched out his hand to flatten his snow-white clothes. Unexpectedly, they were spotless, and his long hair that was as black as ink hung down to the ground like a waterfall.

The curtain in front of him was lifted by his finger, and the sunlight shone through the curtain onto the face of the person behind it. That seemingly clean skin color was somewhat cold and distant for a moment.

"You're right!" Shaohua Jun's slightly pale lips moved slightly under his nose. Seeing the girl's busy figure, he revealed a smile on his thin face.

The young girl knelt in front of the azure jade table, opened the bowl and said, "The young lady in the Shaohua Jun Zither is truly sad. She didn't have the time to wait for the good man to die with her, and I'm afraid there won't be another young master in this world. This servant has often heard that" Corn "is the most tragic song in the world, and Shaohua's song is no worse than" Corn "!"

"You actually know ?" Shaohua was quite surprised.

The young girl was silent. After the ringing sound, the pavilion became silent.

"The melody is nice but sad, just like an iron horse." Bai Jinyu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "Ah Yu, I'm playing the royal family's' Xia Zhi 'ceremony. You can understand the meaning behind this … I'm very happy. "

He hastily put down the delicate food on the ground and stood up in a slight panic. Under the sunlight, she slowly bent her back and bowed to Bai Jinyu behind the scenes. Without saying a word, she quickly retreated.

Looking at the fish fin porridge on the jade table, Bai Jinyu frowned, her white fingers rubbed her forehead, and looked at the girl's back that was about to fade out of the library, and softly said, "Why is it porridge again? "If only I could eat a bowl of simmering fish noodles..."

The young girl's steps faltered, but she didn't stop. It was as if she had already harnessed some sort of plan in her heart.

At night, the wind always came in a hurry.

The library for Bai Jinyu was a two-story building in the deepest part of the Hidden Dragon Institute. It was built on the waist of the mountain in the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass. After crossing the mountain, one would be able to see a natural chasm. It was just that it was too dangerous, and birds could not pass through it, let alone a scholar who was powerless.

The Hidden Dragon Institute had existed since the previous dynasty. Countless generations of the former dynasty's remnants were imprisoned, including the women who were defeated and formidable, as well as the descendants of the fallen nobles.

Five hundred and thirty-eight years ago, when the "Seven Deaths of the Heavenly Seal" shook the four seas, the Emperor of the Heavenly Seal brought his entire nation to the north to attack the Bai Clan. After the emperor of the land, he ordered people to supervise the construction of six military passes, of which this one was adjacent to the royal dukes. The name "Dragon-slaying" was quite intimidating.

However, a hundred years had passed. The majestic pass that was used to guard the imperial city's main road had been abandoned after the landslide that blocked the main road to the imperial city. The rest of the Heaven Ranked Stones could only barely be passed by the mountaineers. If they wanted to cross the mountain with their million strong army, they would have to cut the mountain flat.

More than once, the Emperor had taken a backward look at the mountains and rivers with his carriage. After confirming the possibility that there would be no army to pass through these mountains, he believed even more that this was a natural barrier that the ancestors of the Xia clan had given to the imperial city to protect the Xia royal family's foundation that had existed for tens of thousands of years. From then on, the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass was abandoned and turned into a prison. The dukes of the world paid even less attention to the majestic pass buried behind this mountain.

And this cripple, had been wasted for over two hundred years.

He could see the lofty mountains and lofty peaks stretching for a hundred miles, as if they had naturally fused with the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass. The mountain rose from the pass, and the mountain was dangerous, like the axe was made from the heavens. If they obtained this trial, they would be able to enter the Northern Lands and return to the capital. It would be the best place for soldiers to fight.

"However... This is the trial of success, and this is the trial of defeat! " Bai Jinyu suddenly had a faint smile on her face as she gazed at the mountain in the north that seemed to pierce into the clouds. A thoughtful look appeared in her eyes. If there was someone willing to lead an army of 30,000 soldiers and leave the cavalry behind, then they would be able to easily step over the mountain without regard for death or injury. In an instant, the entire capital would be in their hands. When the time came, he would gain what he wanted, but it was only a single slash away.

During the six years Su Jin was under house arrest in the Hidden Dragon Institute, his favorite thing was to stand here and look at the Dragon Tower in the capital — the Luo Jing that every man in the world yearned for.

"I am willing to raise 30,000 Yanluo Armors to the first floor of the imperial capital." This city seemed to be filled with peace and harmony, one that was seven hundred years old. However, who could actually see the bloody storm that was hidden in the depths of the bustling city?

Bai Jinyu was extremely bored. For the past six years, Su Jin had never let anyone near him. All of them were either afraid of his Bai clan's might and were afraid of him like a tiger. They were all under the orders of the Northern Marquis to monitor his every move. Almost everyone was deliberately not talking to him, even trying to distance themselves from him.

Until... Ah Yu's appearance. If he guessed correctly, this girl was different from the others.
