Traveling through ancient times to survive

The huge storm that covered the sky and the sun on the grassland had long alarmed the barbarians. Now that the storm had subsided, in the barbarian palace, the new king had a complicated expression. He hoped that the human race would defeat the eagle monster, but he also hoped that the eagle monster could kill the people of the Central Plains to avenge him.

"Who won the battle between the Central Plains people and the Eagle Demon?"

"Your Majesty, the people from the Central Plains have won, and the eagle monster has surrendered to them." The soldier who delivered the message reported with his head down.

The new king was silent for a moment, then made up his mind: "Pass the order down, our clan will rest and recuperate from now on, and must not take the initiative to provoke a war with the Central Plains."

"Your Majesty, should our people return to the grassland?" a minister asked.

"Not yet. The threat to the grassland does not only come from the eagle monster. Besides, the master did not explicitly ask our tribe to return the six states."

On the official road, Zhao Qing and his companion rode south on horseback, followed by a handsome golden eagle in the sky.

After passing the territory occupied by the barbarians, the two returned to their own country and continued to move south until they arrived outside the city of Kyoto.

The turbulent undercurrents in the city calmed down, and a new generation of power struggle came to an end. In the end, a lesser-known branch of the royal family came to power. The court launched a major purge and redistributed power. The old rulers were killed and their families were wiped out, while the new rulers were promoted to a higher position.

Zhao Qing and his companion went straight south without stopping, passing through Yingzhou City. The people in the city were still talking about the explosive news from the previous few days.

"I never thought that our former prefect was actually plotting a rebellion and had captured many civilians to mine for him."

"Who said it wasn't true? He usually pretends to love the people like his own children, but who knows that those people who disappeared were all caused by his evil deeds."

"Bah, what sir? He is a criminal! The imperial court executed all the male members of the Wang family, and confiscated all the female members into the religious quarters."

"What's this? The wife of the former prefect, no, the wife of the criminal and the daughter of the Wu family, a powerful family in Beijing. The entire Wu family was also beheaded. It's true that people of the same family are alike. They are all extremely evil people."

"Not only that, did you know that the Wang family has a married daughter? It is said that a married woman is not guilty of a crime, but she has been divorced and sent back home."

Wang Qiang, who was mentioned as a joke by the common people, lay in a dilapidated temple, with disheveled hair and dirty clothes. The once noble daughter of the prefect now looked like a beggar, humiliated by the common people whom she once looked down upon.

She couldn't believe that in her new life, her mother's family died earlier than in her previous life. What went wrong? In her previous life, the emperor was still alive and well, the Sixth Prince was still powerful, and her grandfather's family was also very popular.

How come everything has changed after this rebirth? Was the so-called rebirth just a dream she had? But those disasters were real. She clearly got the chance to be an immortal, but why did the result become even more miserable than her previous life?

Wang Qiang couldn't figure it out. This must be all fake. She was just trapped in a terrible dream. She just needed to wake up. Yes, that's it. Wang Qiang propped up her arms. Her body, which hadn't eaten anything for several days, sent out hunger signals. Wang Qiang didn't seem to care. She slowly stood up and used all her strength to hit the temple wall.

With a loud bang, blood gushed out of Wang Qiang's head. She lay against the wall with a happy smile in her eyes. Her father, mother, and daughter waited for her to wake up from her dream. The family happily reunited.

No one cares that a beggar died in the dilapidated temple. All living things in this world are still moving forward towards the future at their original pace.

Zhao Qing and his companion stopped in the city for a while to replenish some supplies, and then galloped towards their home.

In the valley, the villagers lead a regular life of practicing martial arts, hunting, eating, and practicing martial arts. Everything is peaceful and harmonious. Zhao Chengchuan's family is looking outside the mountain with concern.

"Why hasn't Qingya come back yet?"

"Dad, with my sister's martial arts skills, as long as she doesn't do anything reckless, she will be fine."

Zhao Deyan was trying to convince Zhao Chengchuan as well as himself.

"How could I not know how powerful Qingya is? But she is just a teenage girl. No matter how smart she is, she doesn't have much life experience. What if she gets soft-hearted and gets cheated?"

Zhao Deyan panicked for a moment, but soon regained his composure: "It's okay, Brother Heng is here. Brother Heng is a scholar, he has read a lot of books, and he must know a lot about the evil hearts of those outside. With him around, no one can deceive Qingya."

"We are useless and have to rely on Qingya for everything. This is not okay. Big brother, third brother, how are your martial arts and magical skills being practiced?"

Zhao Deyan stood up straight with a confident look on his face: "Dad, don't worry, I have been practicing these two techniques except for eating and sleeping these days. I have made great progress. I guarantee that Qing Ya will be surprised when she comes back."

Zhao Dezhang also nodded, with a proud expression: "Dad, I have made great progress, which will definitely surprise you."

"Okay, keep going. This world is not only plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also demons and monsters. We must work hard to increase our ability to protect ourselves and not let Qing Ya hold us back."

"Village chief, Qingya and the others are back!" As the family was talking, someone came running over with a happy face to report the news.

The family couldn't sit still any longer and rushed towards the entrance of the valley.

When Zhao Qing and his companion returned to the valley, they were surrounded by villagers, and everyone asked them about what they had seen and heard along the way.

When they learned that there was a new emperor above them, everyone was shocked at first and then worried.

"Is the new emperor good? Will he be worse than the previous one?"

"Who cares if he's good or not? Anyway, we are savages without an identity. Whether he's good or bad has nothing to do with us."

Someone shocked everyone with a statement, yes, strictly speaking, everyone is no longer a citizen of the dynasty, and the emperor has no control over them at all.

As they were talking, Zhao Chengchuan's family and Li Wu hurried over. Both sides showed concern for each other before returning home.

Life returned to normal, and Zhao Qing approached Zhao Chengchuan: "Dad, let's go south after we harvest the crops from the fields."

Zhao Chengchuan was puzzled: "Why is this happening? We are living well in this mountain, why are we running away again? Is it unsafe here?"

"You could say that, Dad. Because of Xiaolu, all the stronger monsters in the nearby mountains have fled, and only some weaker monsters are left here. But there are many monsters like Xiaolu out there. I met two monsters that were no worse than Xiaolu this time. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. If we stay in a corner, it will not be conducive to our growth. As a result, we will only become blood food for monsters in the future."

Zhao Chengchuan was shocked: "It's so dangerous outside? Are you injured?"

"Dad, do I look injured?"

Looking at his daughter's rosy face, Zhao Chengchuan nodded. She certainly didn't look injured.

"Dad, the south is close to the sea, and there are the most creatures in the sea. There are as many powerful creatures after evolution as the stars. We need to go to the seaside to fight with them and grow. Moreover, Lingnan is mountainous and the people are tough. The emperor's power cannot deter them. We don't have to hide when we go there. We can communicate with the local people openly."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
