Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 289 Extra Da Xi Shangle Extra
Da Xi Shangle was the fifth princess of Qilu. She had four older brothers, six younger brothers, and three younger sisters.

Before her other three sisters were born, she was the only princess in the royal family. She was born bright and beautiful, the darling of the court, and the most precious pearl of Mi Xiang.

She thought she would grow up safely under the love of her father and brothers, choose her favorite prince consort, and live her life freely and comfortably.

Until one day, she was invited to a banquet by the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

When she arrived, she saw many courtesans and maids in disheveled clothes. The music at the banquet was soaring and turbulent, and the guests were staggering in a mess.

Her two royal brothers were already drunk and were surrounded by the children of other official families. When they saw her coming, they waved to her with a smile.

Many maids were almost bare-breasted and were hugged by the people around them.

Da Xi Shangle was still hesitating whether to get closer, because she felt that everything in front of her went against her perception of her two royal brothers.

But the prince made a gesture and asked his servants to close the door.

Her fourth brother was already drunk and stood up staggeringly. He came over and held her hand. "Why are you so late? Why did you keep everyone waiting for so long?"

Da Xi Shangle shook off his hand, but the Fourth Prince looked displeased and came over to hug her.

Da Xi Shangle felt sick and struggled to push him away, but he was outnumbered and accidentally pushed into the prince's arms.

Her eldest brother, the current Prince Qilu, had a playful look in his eyes, full of desire, and he pulled open her coat.

Da Xi Shangle's coat was pulled down to his shoulders. He scolded him and tried to break free.

When the prince almost kissed her, she slapped him.

The prince let her go, and Da Xi Shangle took the opportunity to stand up and escape to the open space, staring at them angrily, "Are you crazy? Da Xi Xu! I'm your sister!"

"I have wanted to do this for a long time," the prince wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger, "Father doted on you in the past, and I had to endure it. You take yourself too seriously. Even if you were born into the royal family, you are just a plaything. Rather than letting foreigners take advantage of you, why not let us try first?"

She looked at her brother's wolf-like eyes and was shocked and puzzled.

She had not expected that these two royal brothers had disguised themselves so well in the past, so well that she really thought she was their favorite sister.

"What do you mean by giving the foreigners an advantage?" Da Xi Shangle asked.

The prince smiled and said, "Do you still think you are the noble Princess Shangle?"

Da Xi Shangle didn't understand, so she said, "Wait for me, I will tell father everything that happened today!" and turned and left.

Fortunately, Da Xi Shangle had learned martial arts before, so she managed to break out and the prince's men failed to stop her.

Da Xi Shangle rode quickly all the way back to the palace to meet the emperor.

Her father, the Emperor, learned what had happened and sent people to punish and put the Crown Prince and others into confinement, but he did not continue to punish them severely.

Instead, he said to her sternly, "Shang Le, you are old enough to get married, so you should control your temper and cut off all your lovers. The eastern border of Qilu is now turbulent and continues to be invaded by foreign tribes. The situation is extremely tense. Tujia can assist us in resolving disputes and help Qilu block the invasion of several eastern tribes."

Da Xi Shangle suddenly realized something and remembered what the prince said, "It's an easy deal for the foreigners."

Sure enough, her father immediately said, "We also need Tujia to provide raw materials for several types of artillery and weapons, and exchange them for food, but their Khan proposed a marriage between the two countries."

"Tujia is just a small country. We can find a princess or a lady from a noble family and, if they are willing, make them princesses of peace. Hasn't this been done for hundreds of years? Why do we need me to come?" Da Xi Shangle couldn't believe it.

Her father could hardly bear to look at her, and only said: "Their Khan specifically asked for you. Qilu has been unstable in recent years, and father cannot take care of the unrest in the east for the time being. We need to cooperate with Tujia. I am sorry to have wronged you."

The Khan of Tujia was already a bald old man with gray hair and many wives and concubines.

This was a complete humiliation for Yu Da Xi Shang Le.

Da Xi Shangle looked at his father, whom he had admired for more than ten years, with disappointment, tears in his eyes, and left angrily.

She returned to her own bedroom. Her mother came to find her after hearing the news and cried, "Shangle, I am sorry for you. I was not pregnant and could not give you a brother. I have little say and cannot protect you."

She knew that Qilu had a serious tendency to favor boys over girls, and even in this world, there were few women who were free from this worldly shackles.

She thought she was the princess of Qilu and that she was different, but she was wrong.

Qilu had always been a powerful country, but why did it now have to rely on sending princesses to marry in order to exchange resources?

Da Xi Shangle was puzzled and unwilling to accept his fate.

Since her father would not save her, she tried to find another way out on her own.

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are unreliable. Although the Third Prince is honest and simple, he doesn't have much brains. The other younger brothers are still young and have no potential.

Only her second brother, Da Xian, whose maternal family, Kezhu clan, is powerful, he is handsome and his martial arts are also the most outstanding among his peers.

Although he looks very romantic, often smiling, and has a bit of naughty charm, he is not obsessed with women. He is extremely smart in dealing with people and often has extraordinary courage.

It was a pity that Da Xi'an had no desire to fight for power. Da Xi Shangle didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only wait for the arrival of a miserable fate in the torment day after day.

It was not until several months later that the prince took action against Daxian.

The emperor thought that the assassin's poisonous arrow was aimed at him and was blocked by Da Xian, so he felt very guilty.

A lot of complicated things happened in the middle, which Da Xi Shangle was not aware of.

But she knew that Da Xian was poisoned by an unpreventable poison, so her father invited the Lei family to perform a blood-cleansing technique on Da Xian, holding on to the remaining hope to save Da Xian's life.

Daxian suffered extremely inhuman torture for a month.

But his mother did that in order to protect her future position, which deepened Daxian's suffering.

So much so that after Da Xian snatched his life back from the hands of the King of Hell, his body could no longer accept any woman approaching.

That incident changed Daxian.

He seemed to understand that even if he had no intention of taking the throne, his royal brother would not spare him and his mother's family.

When Daxian began to fight for power, everyone saw how terrible he was.

In the same year, before the imperial edict of marriage to Daxi Shangle was about to be announced, Prince Gu united the three surrounding states and launched a rebellion.

When a civil war of this magnitude broke out, a small country like Tujia could no longer help them.

The emperor had no choice but to ask Tianyao for help and make Qilu a vassal state of Tianyao.

The Crown Prince and Da Xian volunteered at the same time, willing to lead the troops to fight against Tianyao's army. The emperor chose Da Xian, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Because Da Xian spoke Tianyao dialect the best among his peers, it was easy for him to communicate with Tianyao's generals.

Although the Blood-Cleansing Technique caused severe damage to his meridians, causing his martial arts to decline and making it impossible for him to make further progress, he was still stronger than the other princes and possessed sufficient self-protection capabilities.

The Tianyao army, with the assistance of the troops led by Daxian and Gongyang Zisheng, helped Qilu quell the rebellion.

After this battle, Daxian also became friends with Gongyang Zisheng.

Gongyang Zisheng, as the Shang Sanshan of this term, was the leader of the hundreds of generals in Qilu and the support of the army. With his support, Da Xi'an was even more powerful.

Da Xian had made great military achievements, and later he helped his father solve many difficult and troublesome problems. Everything he did was always flawless, and he always planned every step carefully.

The emperor paid more and more attention to this son and delegated more and more power to him.

The prince must have regretted countless times. He used that poison arrow to awaken a dormant beast.

After Da Xian saved his life, Da Xi Shangle stood firmly by his side in exchange for protection and future success.

Da Xian did not disappoint her and persuaded his father to give up his plan of marrying a princess.

The following year, he solved the eastern border issue and led the army eastward with Gongyang Zisheng. They defeated several tribes that frequently invaded Qi and Lu and drove them to the area south of Xu Mountain.

The treaty between Qilu and Tujia became invalid from then on, and Daxi Shangle no longer had to marry a foreigner.

Three years later, Da Xian and Gong Yang Zisheng went to Chaoyang, the capital of Tianyao, to pay tribute, and met Pei Nai, the man who changed their fate and the fate of the entire continent.

In fact, on the eve of Da Xian's trip to Huayun Village to participate in the Battle of Yunxuan, he had already succeeded in becoming the crown prince.

The prince was no match for him at all, and was even forced by him to rebel.

No one was not amazed by his methods.

His throne was almost certain to be secured, but he chose to take risks with Pei Nai and others when the situation in the world was most tense, and gambled his life and death on the fate of Qilu.

For the safety of his mother and those around him, and for Qilu to become strong again, he became the crown prince and the emperor of Qilu, regardless of his own life.

He has always been dedicated to his family, friends and the people.

He didn't have many hobbies, and pursuing Pei Nai was one of the few major things he did for himself in his life.

Later, he became Emperor Ming of Qilu and led Qilu to its peak prosperity.

The country is prosperous and its people are well-off, all industries are thriving, and it is even comparable to Tianyao, the most powerful country in the world.

Everyone thought that Emperor Ming of Qilu's name "Ming" meant "bright and wise", but only Da Xi Shangle and a few others knew that his "Ming" was taken from the character "Mingzhi".

He has the most playboy appearance, but does the most infatuated things.
