The fifth birthday banquet of Lin Ying, the young lord of the Yuling Palace of Prince Sheng of Chu State, was the eve of the disintegration of the huge Chu State. At the banquet of Prince Sheng Palace of Chu State, someone suddenly came to report that the King of Chu had been extravagant and died suddenly.

In Linjiang Chu Palace, the King of Chu had many sons, and two queens were appointed. Among the many sons, seven of them had been holding lands for many years. They collected taxes and garrisoned troops respectively, and they were called the Seven Kings of Chu. The seven kings were evenly matched.

He suddenly left here before he was appointed prince. King Sheng Lin Lang knew that the Chu Kingdom would be in chaos now.

After hearing the bad news, the guests left in a hurry, leaving only the servants of Prince Sheng's Mansion, the guards, Prince Sheng's family, Yan Xiao, Song Yun and Shu'er.

King Sheng suddenly made a decision: "After the death of my father, the Chu Kingdom will surely face a chaos of seven kings competing for hegemony. There is a disaster of seven kings in the country, and the neighboring Song Dynasty to the west is eyeing it. I am afraid that the Chu Kingdom will not be able to escape this disaster. If it is like this

It is unknown whether Qi and Wei will be completely exhausted from now on. Qin'er, take Xiaoying and go with the three of them to take refuge in Chen State via Shu Kingdom. When I calm down the civil strife, I will take you back."

Su Qin asked: "Husband, why can't we go to the Yudu of the Song Dynasty to join your sister Lin Long? She is Lin Long, a prostitute of King Huai of the Song Dynasty. She may be able to take care of us in the Song Dynasty."

King Sheng said: "If I can successfully quell the chaos, the next King of Chu will be your husband, and the next King of Chu will be Xiaoying. How can Xiaoying grow up in the Song Palace? What's more, although my sister is the ninth princess of Chu State,

, the beauty Lin of the Song Dynasty, but she has been banned by King Huai of the Song Dynasty for many years. She has no power in the Song Palace, how can she protect you? What if I wait until my big thing is done, and the Song Dynasty takes you and Xiaoying as hostages?

, threatening me, I might as well not send you out to seek refuge today."

Lin Ying grabbed the dark jade pendant around King Sheng's waist and asked, "Dad, why can't we stay in Chu and fight with you to quell the chaos?"

King Sheng took off the diamond jade pendant that Lin Ying was holding, handed it to Lin Ying, patted his short shoulder and said: "Xiao Ying, the war between the seven kings has been brewing for many years. This disaster is not a trivial matter. The Chu Kingdom is divided or united.

No one can predict it. You are still young and weak, so you are really not suitable to get involved in this mess with your father. When you grow up and return to the Chu Kingdom, your father will let you be the king of Chu. This diamond jade pendant

You have to take it, as this will be the customs clearance document for you to return to Chu State."

Lin Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and Shu'er said consolingly: "My young master, you are only leaving Chu State temporarily, don't be sad. Let's go to Chen State together and travel around the mountains and rivers. Time will fly by in a blink of an eye.

, you can come back."

King Sheng took a look at the nine-year-old girl. Her facial expressions, her intelligence and politeness seemed to be very similar to his sister Lin Long, who married to the Song Dynasty many years ago. King Sheng suddenly thought: "Lin Long was also very sensible when she was a child.

, and she is smart and bold, shrewd and cute, and all her seven brothers love her very much. If the seven kings of Chu today have any common preferences and common regrets, it is probably about their younger sister Lin Long. Back then, Lin Long

Her seven brothers tried their best to promote her marriage to Song Dynasty. Everyone thought she was going to marry Liu Jue, the crown prince of King Wu of Song Dynasty. Liu Jue was an extraordinary warrior and had won many battles. Marrying him would be the best marriage in all the nine states.

But who would have expected that before Lin Long's sedan chair entered the Jade City, news came that Liu Jue had died of illness. Lin Long had no choice but to marry King Wu's second son Liu Ying, who was already married to a powerful figure in the Song Dynasty.

She was a girl from the Qiao family, and I heard she was a very sick person. As expected, Liu Ying died less than two years after succeeding to the throne of Song Dynasty. Before her death, she even confined her little sister, whom the seven kings of Chu loved and cherished, to the Jinxiu Garden.

, now ten years have passed, and there is still no news about my little sister. It is rumored that she has a daughter, but I don’t know if that daughter is her biological child, or maybe she really adopted the daughter of the subjugated princess of Qi..."

King Sheng asked Shu'er: "Little girl, I heard that you were thrown into the Jade River and then came to Chu State with our Chu State's merchant ship? Are you from the Song State?"

Shu'er replied: "I was thrown into the Jade River, and it was indeed rescued on the Zhuge family's merchant ship before coming to Chu. But I don't know whether I am from the Song Dynasty."

King Sheng sighed: "I'm just asking casually, how can you, a girl from an ordinary family, recognize her?" Then he changed the subject: "Little girl, you are a smart child. Take good care of Xiaoying for me. One day

, if you come back together, I will definitely reward you greatly."

Shu'er nodded obediently.

A man in white clothes walked in outside the door, with a jade crown tied up his hair, and a handsome face. The man saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Ping, Prince Li, and Prince Yu heard that the young prince in their mansion is still in Yuling, and they have already marched to Yuling."

The direction is coming. The carriages, luggage, and customs clearance documents for the princess, the young lord, and the three distinguished guests are all ready. If we don't leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave the Chu Kingdom quietly after dawn tomorrow."

King Sheng said to everyone: "You can go with Mr. Dongfang."

Shu'er followed Yan Xiao, Song Yun, Su Qin and Lin Ying got into a carriage together. Mr. Dongfang in white gave the coachman a few words and then turned and left.

The night was extremely dark and the carriage was bumpy. Lin Ying and Shu'er's little heads leaned against each other and fell into a light sleep.

When he woke up, the coachman had parked the carriage at a small pier. He ordered the five people to get on a small boat, gave the boatman a few words, and turned to leave.

Shu'er asked: "Are we going back to Linjiang?"

Su Qin said: "We can't go back. The Chu Palace is in chaos and all forces in Linjiang are mixed. We can only go all the way south, enter Shu first, and then find a way to go to Chen."

Although Shu'er wanted to go to Chen State to explore her life experience, she also knew that it would be very difficult to go to Chen State instead of taking the official road of Song State and take a detour through the mountain roads of Shu State. She heard her mother say that the road to Shu was rough.

, Xiling is difficult to walk, but I never thought that I would one day walk that kind of road.

After ten days on the waterway and five days on the mountain road, going around and around, changing several boatmen and carriage drivers, the five of them finally passed diagonally from Chu State into Song State, and then hurriedly left Song State and entered Shu State.

The coachman who picked them up at the border of Shu was a native of the Chen state, specializing in business between Chen and Chu that did not go through the Song state. He was familiar with the road, and he did not forget to tell the five people about the scenery of Shu when they were on the road.

The road to Shu was difficult. When we entered Shu, the road was winding and rugged, with mountains and valleys one after another. It took us more than twenty days to reach the foot of Xiling.

The coachman of Chen State stopped the carriage at the last inn at the foot of the mountain, and while leading the five people to stay in the hotel, he said: "Tomorrow we will enter Xiling. This is the most terrifying natural barrier in the Five Kingdoms of Kyushu. As long as we can pass through it smoothly
