The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Seeing Yizhou City on the Qianzhong Road, Su Xiaoya put away the flying boat and the group headed towards the city.

Yizhou City.

Eunuch Hai's eyes dimmed for a moment.

Revisiting the old place, everything has changed and people have changed.

Wanpin's family was in Yizhou. She was the youngest daughter of a small family in Yizhou. Unfortunately, she was spotted by the old emperor who was visiting incognito and was summoned to the palace by an imperial decree.

Eunuch Hai was still somewhat conflicted. He wanted to take Hai Kuo to visit Concubine Wan's parents' home, but they were now the attendants of the two imperial masters, and they had asked for it, so they could not act on their own.

In the end, Eunuch Hai gave up the idea.

It would be better for Wanpin's family not to get involved in these disputes. When there is a chance in the future, let Haikuo go back and take a look.

To be honest, Wanpin's family has done everything they could for Wanpin.

But the emperor’s order is hard to disobey.

In the end, before Concubine Wan entered the palace, her parents not only gave Concubine Wan all the liquid funds they had, but also eagerly sold many of their industries in exchange for a large sum of money, all of which were brought into the palace by Concubine Wan.

He also gave the two most capable female secret guards in the family to Concubine Wan, and they accompanied her into the palace as personal maids.

Otherwise, Concubine Wan might not have been able to enter the palace.

Unfortunately, the palace was a man-eating cage. In order to protect Concubine Wan, two secret guards died in the palace.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Hai couldn't stop the hatred in his heart. He hated the heartless old emperor, and also hated the women in the harem who were as vicious as snakes and scorpions.

Wanpin was poisoned and framed more than once at banquets held in the palace. Such days made her feel very painful and helpless, but she had nowhere to vent.

Before attending every banquet, Wanpin's two secret guards would carefully check whether the food and drinks were safe, and even secretly taste some dishes personally to make sure there were no problems.

However, even though the two of them were so cautious, they were still unable to guard against it, and someone would still find an opportunity to attack Concubine Wan.

At a banquet, Wanpin suddenly felt dizzy and blacked out after drinking a cup of tea. She realized that she might have been poisoned by Chinese medicine, so she quickly asked the secret guard to help her change clothes.

Fortunately, Concubine Wan left decisively, and the secret guards found the antidote in time to eliminate the drug's effects first, thus avoiding the plot.

Sure enough, when Concubine Wan returned to the banquet, she found that another favored concubine had fallen into the trap.

Wanpin's face turned pale with fright.

Committing adultery with a guard!

The favored concubine and guard were directly given two cups of Hedinghong.

What does it matter if they were framed or not? It is a fact that they cheated on the old emperor. These two people will not survive!

Wanpin didn't dare to think that if she hadn't discovered and dealt with it in time, that cup of Hedinghong would have been her end.

The harem is so scary!

Since then, Wanpin became more cautious and rarely went out.

Another time, after eating a piece of cake in her bedroom, Concubine Wan felt unbearable pain in her stomach and almost fainted.

After diagnosis by the imperial physician, it was determined that it was caused by food poisoning.

This shocked Wanpin very much, because she had been very careful in choosing her food, but she still fell into the trap. It turned out that there was a plant powder in the cakes that Wanpin ate, which mixed with the incense in her room to produce a poison.

The two are indeed non-toxic when separated, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all. It was also because Wanpin was gentle and kind, and she was generous and helped the imperial physician out of trouble, which made the imperial physician tell the truth.

All I can say is that the privacy measures of the harem are hard to guard against.

In addition to being poisoned, Wanpin was framed many times by other concubines, who would deliberately create misunderstandings or spread rumors to discredit Wanpin's reputation and create evidence for the Queen and the Four Concubines to punish her openly.

Wanpin's life became dark, and her heart was filled with pain and loneliness. She used to be a gentle and kind woman, but now she was troubled by the intrigues of other concubines. She didn't know how to deal with these frame-ups and exclusions, and could only endure it all silently.

The concubines often spoke ill of her in front of Yuwen Huaide, which made Yuwen Huaide suspicious of her. Yuwen Huaide began to distance himself from her and no longer doted on her as he did before. Wanpin felt extremely painful and lonely, and her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

Wanpin knew that she couldn't let these conspiracies continue, and she had to find a way to protect herself. However, she didn't know how to do it, and her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

Wanpin is a gentle and kind woman, but the imperial palace is a hell where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

Especially after the death of Wanpin's two secret guards, Wanpin's life became even darker.

Fortunately, Eunuch Hai entered the palace in time.

Unfortunately, in the end, only Haikuo was saved.

Eunuch Hai took a deep breath and looked at the two huge words "Yizhou" on the city gate with firm eyes.

Hai Kuo was also staring at the gate of Yizhou City in a daze, with complex emotions surging in his eyes, so dark that it was difficult to see clearly.

This Yizhou must be very special to Hai Kuo and Eunuch Hai.

Bai Yiyi silently observed Eunuch Hai and Hai Kuo.

Bai Yiyi actually couldn't understand Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng. The two Taoist friends were a little hesitant when Hai Kuo first proposed to join them, but they were very calm after accepting the offer, without any probing or testing, as if the two were their followers.

However, Hai Kuo was still a prince after all! He even declared himself king, even though he was controlled.

Is such a person really willing to be a follower of two state masters? These two state masters are the culprits who took away his throne and territory.

Bai Yiyi didn't really think it through anyway.

In fact, Bai Yiyi himself had overlooked that wasn't he also the head of the clan, and wasn't he also willing to follow Su Xiaoya?!

All we can say is that Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng are extremely confident, and they adhere to the principle of trusting people when employing them, and not employing people if you don't trust them.

Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng did not pay attention to the lawsuit between Bai Yiyi and the other two. They were looking at the gate of Yizhou City with great interest and discussing:

"Brother, do you think there is really a Dragon Palace in Yizhou?"

"Maybe!"

"So, is Xiaobailong the demon king?"

"Nine times out of ten, yes."

Bai Yiyi, Hai Kuo and Eunuch Hai were also attracted by the discussion between Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng.

Bai Yiyi, in particular, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

When Bai Yiyi followed Master Yin for training, he had heard about the legend of the Dragon Palace in Yizhou. However, this legend was too old, so the two of them really just listened to it as a legend.

But, according to what the two national masters said, this is also a forbidden area?

Bai Yiyi thought about it carefully, trying to analyze the differences.

No matter what, the tree spirit has lived longer than him, has higher cultivation than him, and naturally knows more than him.

He and Master Yin must have overlooked something.

In ancient times, the Qianzhong area suffered a devastating flood.

The sky was gloomy, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. Suddenly, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the big raindrops hit the ground, making a crackling sound.

The rain lasted for several days, and the rain gathered into rivers, constantly washing the earth. The originally calm streams, lakes, and rivers suddenly turned into turbulent torrents sweeping the earth.

The overwhelming flood raged like a wild beast, submerging villages, destroying farmland, and sweeping away livestock...

Houses were crumbling in the floods, and people fled their homes in panic, carrying their families and their only food, desperately running to higher ground, but the floods chased them relentlessly.

In order not to burden their children, many elderly people broke away from their children's hands and rushed into the flood, allowing themselves to be swallowed by the flood.

The overflowing river flooded the roads and paralyzed the traffic. The whole area fell into chaos and people's lives and property were seriously threatened.

The ancestors of the Miao people seemed helpless in the face of this disaster. They could only watch their homes being swallowed up by the floods, and their relatives and friends being missing or killed in the floods.

In desperation, they had to climb up the mountains in tears and pain to avoid the disaster.

Although the mountains were safe from floods, food was scarce and diseases were rampant. Many people died in the harsh environment, and the rest struggled to survive in misery.

After a long time, the floods finally receded. The ancestors of the Miao people began to go down the mountain to look for their surviving relatives. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find the familiar faces they once knew. Those relatives who were taken away by the floods disappeared forever in this world, leaving behind endless grief and longing.

"Brother, brother..."

"Grandma, grandma..."

A Miao girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, was in deep grief at the moment. She cried as she searched along the mountain stream. Her face was covered with tears and her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.

The girl's name was Aduo. Her parents died early, and she had been dependent on her grandmother and brother since she was a child. Her grandmother raised them with great difficulty, and life was very difficult.

Grandma is a thin old woman, with the traces of time deeply engraved on her face. Her eyes reveal a kind of firmness and tenderness. Although life is difficult, she still persists.

Every morning, grandma would get up early and start a busy day. She would go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and some common medicinal herbs, and then go home to carefully wash and dry them.

Wild vegetables were their staple food, and the herbs could be sold to the town's medicine shop in exchange for some brown rice, buckwheat, and soybeans. Although there was only a little rice in the wild vegetable porridge, it at least allowed their family of three to survive with difficulty.

Grandma's hands are rough and covered with calluses, which are the testimony of her years of hard work.

Aduo and her brother are well aware of how hard their grandmother works, and they will do their best to help.

When she was young, Aduo would help her grandmother cook and wash clothes, while her brother would help chop wood and fetch water. They knew that only through their own efforts could they lighten their grandmother's burden.

When they grew up, the brother and sister followed their grandmother to pick wild vegetables and herbs...

By the time the two siblings were able to go into the mountains independently, the pressure of life had made grandma's health worse and worse. She often felt tired and weak, but she never complained and continued to silently devote herself to Aduo and her brother.

The grandmother didn't want the two children to worry about her health, so she endured the discomfort and took some painkillers herself without the two siblings knowing.

Grandma knew that her days would be numbered. Fortunately, her two children had grown up, mastered life skills, and could live independently without her.

House seemingly endless rain.

Fate seemed particularly cruel to them. A sudden flood swept the entire village and submerged everything.

It had been raining heavily for several days. The flood swept in like a beast, submerging everything. Aduo's home was not spared and was ruthlessly destroyed.

Aduo, her brother and grandmother were forced to flee their home, but her grandmother was too old to run. Faced with this dilemma, her brother squatted down without hesitation, carried her grandmother on his back, held his sister's hand tightly, and ran towards a higher place.

They moved forward with difficulty. The rain soaked their clothes, and the cold raindrops penetrated their skin, bringing biting cold.

But they did not stop, they had only one belief in their hearts - to survive!

However, the elderly grandmother realized that she had become a burden on the children's escape, and she could not bear to see the siblings fall into danger because of taking care of her.

So, in front of a steep hillside, grandma resolutely broke away from her brother's back, jumped into the raging flood, and ended her life.

A Duo and her brother witnessed this scene, their hearts ached, but they were powerless to stop it. The flood became more and more fierce, and her brother struggled to carry A Duo on his back, climbed up, and finally sent her to a tree.

However, the flood was already surging, and my brother had already exhausted all his strength. He couldn't even hold on to the tree trunk and was swept away by the flood...

A Duo watched her brother disappear in the flood, her heart seemed to be torn into pieces. She cried loudly on the tree, calling her brother's name, but the only response she got was the sound of the rushing river.

Aduo wanted to jump into the flood, but was held tightly by the villagers who were also on the tree.

A Duo's eyes were swollen from crying.

The flood finally receded.

Ah Duo was searching in the mountain stream. Her clothes had been torn by the branches, and her shoes had been worn out by the rocks. The soles of her feet were covered with bloodstains...

But she didn't give up.

She wants to find her brother!

She wants to find her grandma!

One day passed.

Two days passed.

The longer time passes, the slimmer the hope of loved ones surviving.

However, Aduo still did not give up and searched along the mountain stream and the river with difficulty.

Suddenly, she noticed a mysterious white dragon in the water ahead, floating quietly like a white sculpture.

The white dragon's body shimmers with a faint light, as if it were made of star fragments. Its scales shine with a crystal-clear luster, as beautiful as pearls. The white dragon's eyes are deep and mysterious, revealing an ancient wisdom and power.

The girl was deeply attracted by the scene before her, but at the same time she also felt a little fear and doubt.

Why does this white dragon appear here?

The white dragon let out a dragon roar, glanced at A Duo, turned around and dived into the water.
