Phoenix Knot: Butterfly Dance

Chapter 195

Poverty, disorder, famine, death, I was very close to them.

My real name is Liangshui. When I was five years old, there was a flood in my hometown. We, who were originally poor, finally lost the only place that could shelter us from wind and rain.

I've lost loved ones, I've lost everything.

It was my adoptive father who gave me a new home.

My adoptive father's name is Lian Zhan, he is the emperor of the Dalian Dynasty, with a prominent status; he named me Lian Chengjin.My adoptive father has no family and treats me like my own daughter.

When I was a child, I didn't understand, why didn't my adoptive father marry a wife?

Only when I grew up did I understand that my adoptive father swore never to marry for the sake of a woman.

That woman is called Bai Jin.I understand a little bit, so I won't ask more questions.

My foster father taught me poetry, etiquette, and martial arts since I was a child. When I was 16 years old, he finally let me go out alone.

I was sent to Cangzhou, and sneaked into Sheng (the original word is not on the phone, use this word instead, pronounced cheng) family fort.

Shengjiabao is the number one sect to dominate the martial arts world, but now interfering in the affairs of the imperial court is already a serious concern for the adoptive father.

I have to do something for my adoptive father. On the first day I entered Shengjiabao, I met him, Lie Shengge.

He is the young master of Lie's Sword Forging City, and I know him; five years ago, my foster father took me to Lie's Sword Forging City to forge two daggers, so I know him.

"I don't know how the girl is so talented that she is appreciated by the second castle master?"

This person will always be like this, with a gentle smile that is never seen through.

"There are only three people in this world who can understand animal nature, and I am one of them."

I have been gifted since I was a child, especially for horses and equestrian skills.

However, this did not make me feel proud.

My adoptive father once said to me that I cannot be proud; there are still too many eyes that regard me as a different kind, and I understand all of these.

"yes".Lie Shengge's tone could not hear the waves, I never understood him; just like he understands me, generally.

I have been in Shengjiabao for half a year, but I have only gained a little, so I can't act rashly.

The only thing I know is that the orphans of the Western Zhou Dynasty were restored; Shengjiabao's ambitions are well known, and they are not afraid of the court at all.

I am a little worried for my adoptive father, because the emperor's death will undoubtedly make the situation more serious.

I went back secretly to see my adoptive father; I didn't know that all the entanglements started from here.

Before I left, Lie Shengge happened to be still there, and he gave me a branch of pear blossom as parting gift.

"May the girl return safely."

I have no deep relationship with him, and I never thought that one day, he would die because of me.

Back in Rizhao, foster father immediately asked me to meet the queen mother; that is the most beautiful woman in the world, Gong Dieche.She is beautiful and touching, but she is only a young girl after all. Facing the world, she is so helpless, but so strong.

Shengjiabao has an agreement with the imperial court, and I have a premonition that soon, I will hurt myself.

Back in Cangzhou, Sheng Xi, the lord of Sheng Er Castle, had already taken precautions against me, and it became difficult for me to move forward here.

After that, Lie Shengge went to Baicheng together with Jian Xuan, the number one swordsman in the world.

And I followed secretly, because I knew that the battle of Baicheng would determine the overall situation.
