ancient puppet shows have always been full of scenes of "falling in love and killing each other", "no acquaintance without fighting", "abusing one's wife for a moment of pleasure, chasing her to the crematorium", but things like "the flowing water is far away》at the beginning of the game, the male protagonist killed the female protagonist three times and tried to take her life every time. it is indeed rare.

"flowing water" is adapted from xiao lou's novel of the same name and tells the story of xiao wuxia, the young lord of yueluo city.（ren jialun decoration)he lurked in the ming kingdom under the alias wei zhao for many years and was infamous as a traitor. in order to find out the truth about the murder of his family, wei zhao tried to kidnap the only survivor in the case. however, his carefully laid plan was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a young girl named jiang ci.（li landi decoration)destroyed. pei yan（xu zhengxi decoration)taking the opportunity to raise the seriously injured jiang ci into the mansion, in order to find the "saboteur" behind the scenes. the three of them had their own thoughts, and staged a love-hate relationship between da ming and yue luo related to their family and country.

da ming and wei guo have been at odds with each other for many years. neither one can completely defeat the other, so the two sides are determined to negotiate peace. the peace talks ceremony was held in honglinyuan, qingkang, the capital of daemu kingdom.

at this time, in fanglin garden, teams of guards were patrolling around the yard. not even a fly could get in. in such a heavily guarded scene, jiang ci, who sneaked down the mountain while his master was asleep, leaned against the big tree and leisurely tasted the wine he had just stolen from the kitchen.

jiang ci yearns for freedom, and in her heart are mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, beauties, beautiful scenery and delicious food. while she was happily watching the lively scene of the peace talks between the two countries, an uninvited guest suddenly came. this man wore a silver mask and unexpectedly took her hostage with a sword.

this silver-faced man is none other than wei zhao. the target of his assassination was teng rui, the envoy of the kingdom of wei and the minister of honglu temple.

if teng rui is killed, the peace talks will definitely break down and emperor da ming will be furious. as the commander of the bright guard, wei zhao should have taken care of the emperor's worries, so why did he choose to assassinate teng rui.

this brings us to wei zhao's real name, xiao wuxia. xiao wuxia was originally the son of the lord of yueluo city, and yueluo was a small tribe between da ming and wei guo. at that time, da ming's king qi led his team to send an envoy to yue luo but died unexpectedly. da ming used this as an excuse to send troops to yue luo. in the fall, xiao wuxia's father was unjustly beheaded and his mother was also killed. since then, the entire yueluo has been reduced to a dependency of da ming, requiring annual tribute of supplies and slaves.

yueluo, the once paradise and fairyland on earth, no longer exists.

xiao wuxia's mother tried her best to protect xiao wuxia's sister and brother before she died. during the escape, xiao wuxia and her sister were forced to be separated. when we met again, my sister had become the favorite concubine of emperor da ming. wei zhao kept in mind the hatred of the country and his family and grew up fighting in the slave farm.

later, concubine wei died in childbirth, and wei zhao became the commander of the bright guard. but he has never given up on searching for the truth about king qi's case. recently, he found out that teng rui, the envoy of wei state, turned out to be one of the ministers who accompanied king qi on his mission to yueluo, and he is also the only survivor today.

it is urgent to catch teng rui and find out the truth.

the variable lies in jiang ci. jiang ci saved himself and fell from the tree. although he ruined wei zhao's assassination operation, he himself was seriously injured.

the person in charge of the peace talks in da ming was jian dinghou pei yan, who rescued jiang ci. as someone who had close contact with the assassin, jiang ci was an important witness.

at this point, jiang ci, a free girl who just happened to be passing by fanglin garden and wanted to join in the fun, was completely involved in the court battle in da ming, or more specifically, in the plot of wei zhao and pei yan.

for jiang ci, wei zhao and pei yan, one is killing her again and again, and the other is saving her again and again. logically speaking, jiang ci should be more inclined to the gentle and considerate pei yan, but in the process of getting along, jiang ci but he found that pei yan was not who he imagined. his goal was to revitalize the pei family's foundation. he didn't care whether innocent people would be implicated in the process.

on the other hand, wei zhao, who has been preparing for revenge, has the world and the people in his heart.

in addition to the conflicts in the characters' personalities, the battle of wits and courage between the protagonists is also a highlight of the show. from wei zhao, jiang ci, pei yan, to the emperor and mrs. rong guo, each person has an average of 800 minds. it can be said that the plot within the plot, the loop within the loop and the loop within the loop, the reversal and the reversal are commonplace in the play. side dishes.

in "flowing water", there is no absolute villain. everyone has their own responsibilities based on their own position. it is this kind of contradictory conflict that makes people think about it, when the hatred of the country and the family meets the morality of the world, how should we choose?
