Chapter 2 Prologue

The waning moon is like a hook.After a lonely goose crossed the phantom mountain peak, it was startled by the rushing and magnificent Yujiang water, soaring into the sky. There was the sound of drums, which was shocking.The thunderous river water could not suppress the sound of the drums. Disturbed by the sound of the drum, the lonely goose turned to fly north, plunged into the chaotic mountains, and soon disappeared. The mountain towers like a gun, straight into the sky.On both sides of the rugged and difficult mountain road, there were many people kneeling and worshiping. Those people were dressed in mixed clothes, men and women of different ages, they looked like people from villages around Yujiang Ruyi Peak in their attire, they gathered here for some reason.

The only thing that everyone has in common is that they all have a kind of expectation in their eyes—looking down the peak expectantly. The sound of the drum stopped abruptly, and the sky and the earth were still. Everyone suddenly bowed down to the mountain peak devoutly... One person walked up the dangerous peak like walking on flat ground, with light steps.Passing by the worshipers who looked like ghosts and believers, he was unmoved, but quietly went up to the top of the peak, quietly looking at the beautiful woman on the top of the mountain like a crescent moon... When the afterglow of the waning moon shone on his face, it brought a bit of haze to his face.

He looks young, untouched, and ordinary, but how can such a person be so calm? The woman turned her back to the visitor.Although the footsteps of the approaching person were light, the woman felt it, but she just breathed a sigh of relief and did not turn around. The visitor looked at the lonely back thoughtfully, bowed deeply, and said, "Madam sent a message from thousands of miles away, and greeted you with the nine-guest drum beating of the seventy-two clans in Lingnan to welcome distinguished guests. I don't know what to order?" "My concubine is very grateful that you can come here from a long distance." The woman said softly, "I dare not do what I ordered. I greet you with the most noble etiquette in Lingnan. I just want to ask my husband to do something for me." She Finally turning around, although the veil covered the mysterious face, it revealed her bright eyes.Those eyes were as bright and clear as the bright moon, but they were helpless like the waning moon setting in the west.

The visitor said sincerely: "Madam is calling, if I am not dead, I will definitely come." He hesitated for a while and then said, "With Madam's ability, I really can't think of..." He paused for a moment, waiting for the woman's explanation . Madame laughed.The tulle covered her youth, but it couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, even though there was still sadness accumulated over the years in that smile. "I believe that there are things that the emperor can't do in this world, but sir can! Because sir must have seen Analu before!" Her sad tone was full of eagerness, but what she said was strange and incomprehensible.

Analaw?Has anyone seen Anaru?What is Anaru?Why can someone here do things that even the emperor can't? The visitor seemed to understand and smiled.He seemed to be extremely young, but in that smile, there were many vicissitudes and loneliness. "Madam really think so?" "You haven't seen Anaru? Then how about you..." There was a bit of surprise in the madam's eyes. The visitor laughed again, "Maybe it's just because I shouldn't die. However, no matter whether I have met Analu or not, I will never forget Madam's life-saving grace thirteen years ago. Madam has something to do, and I will never refuse. "He may speak plainly, but the determination and firmness in it are unquestionable.

A drop of tear passed through the veil and disappeared like morning dew.Madam stared blankly at the person coming, and suddenly knelt down. The person who came was a little surprised, knelt down and greeted him: "Why do you have to do this, Ma'am? Just speak up if you have something to say!" He was thinking in his heart, Mrs. Xian has a high moral character and has been kind to all the ethnic groups in Lingnan for many years. With one order, all ethnic groups in Lingnan will do their best for her.Because of this, in order to appease Lingnan, Chen Xu, the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, also attached great importance to Mrs. Xian. I really don't know what else in the world made her so embarrassed?She called me here before and asked someone to bring me a portrait of a person, and why?

Madam's eyes were clouded with tears, and her words were choked with sobs, "Sir, you have never seen my face. As long as you see me, I'm afraid you will understand a lot of things." The visitor nodded and thought again: "Madam Xian covered her face when she rescued me back then, and it's the same when she married Lingnan. She has a calm demeanor, and she has covered her face so far, so there is something hidden in it?" While thinking about it, Madam stretched out her jade hand and lifted the veil from her face, revealing a beautiful face that made Mingyue eclipsed.

The visitor has been through many years of experience, has read countless people, and has long cultivated a calm temperament, even so, when he suddenly saw the beautiful face of his wife, he felt that the time was like an arrow, and it hit his heart in amazement. He was suddenly startled, and lost his voice: " You he……" His heart was beating wildly, and he felt the memories from many years ago rushing up like a river in an instant.Vicissitudes reappeared on his young face. After a long time, the person who came came calmly said: "Madam wants me to go to Qi State in the north?" Seeing the haggard face moving with the evening wind, the person who came came asked again, "What are you doing?"

Madam said sadly: "Find him, then... tell him the truth of the matter, and try to get him to Lingnan." The visitor hesitated for a long time before saying: "I can tell him the truth, but he may not come..." At that moment, Madam suddenly became colder than ice, "If he doesn't come here, he will die!" The visitor stared at his wife for a long time, then nodded and said: "I will do my best." He seemed to have understood a lot of inside information, so he didn't ask any more questions, got up and walked down the mountain, and fell into the darkness in an instant.

The drums sounded again, and the sound was like thunder rolling, thrilling. Madam suddenly burst into tears, looked at the dark place, and said in a sobbing voice: "Wang Tu's hegemony is nothing but dust. If you knew today, would you have changed your choice?" Her tears slid down, dripping like pearls on the solid rock, shattering like petals.
