Chapter 1 The First Approach to the Imperial Capital(1/2)
Tantai Xuan, a mysterious woman who combined beauty and wisdom, has flown away, leaving endless legends in Tantai City. Chen Nan stood in the square feeling lost.
"Why...why did you do that to me?" Xianfan looked at the sky and sighed. Chen Nan followed Chu Yue and the little princess and walked into the city lord's mansion in Tantai City in a daze.
Seeing his devastated look, the little princess cried out in dissatisfaction: "You scum, you are still not a man. I told you to find someone to help you recover your skills when you return to the imperial capital. Why are you still looking so lifeless? Hmph,
Stinky thief, stingy guy!"
"Yu'er must not be rude to Mr. Chen." Chu Yue said with concern: "Is Mr. Chen too tired from the journey? Otherwise, let's stop here for two days."
Chen Nan shook his head blankly and said, "Let's get on the road quickly."
"That's fine, we can return to the imperial capital earlier and restore Master Chen's skills earlier."
Chen Nan left the thousand-year-old city of Tantai in confusion. In the next two days, he seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were empty and there was no trace of vitality.
It was not until three days later that a thunder sounded in his ears, and he came back to his senses as if he had been enlightened. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, ink waves surged, dozens and hundreds of golden snakes scurryed in the clouds, and the rumbling thunder sounded like drums at dusk and bells in the morning.
echoed in his heart.
In an instant, Chen Nan had a glimmer of understanding. Time flies, years pass, and what disappears is gone forever. It is impossible to look back. What exists still exists. Only what exists is real. People cannot always live in the past, only grasp it.
Only now can we not regret the past...
At this time, the long-dried Zhen Qi in his body suddenly came back to life like a dead tree blooming in spring, and the weak Zhen Qi floated in his body like a silkworm chrysalis. Slowly, the subtle Zhen Qi gradually grew stronger, growing and flowing in his body endlessly.
Stop, like a trickle, like a light breeze.
The power that was originally transformed by the little princess returned to its original state in an instant, and through internal vision, it was seen that the Qi in his body was now purer than before. The light yellow, dull and special Qi no longer appeared, completely.
It disappeared from his body. After a long time, Chen Nan's excited mood slowly calmed down. Not only did his skills return to the original state, but his mood also became bright, sweeping away the previous gloom.
Heavy rain fell, and a curtain of water formed between the sky and the earth. Chu Yue and his party were temporarily trapped in a small town. Five hundred cavalry booked all the inns in the town.
The little princess was as happy as a little angel, jumping up and down, not at all like the scheming little devil before.
"Haha, that's great. It's raining and it's so cool."
While cheering, she called Chu Yue and said, "Sister, don't hide in the house. Come out quickly. Look how cool it is."
Chu Yue walked into the rain, and the dense raindrops did not fall on her body. They slid to the side three inches away from her body. The invisible body-protecting energy blocked the rain.
Chen Nan's heart was shocked, and he was secretly surprised. He had sensed the breath of a monk in Chu Yue's body before, but now she revealed the true energy of a profound warrior.
"Could it be that she practices Taoism as a martial artist?"
Chu Yue grabbed the little princess's arm in the rain and pulled her towards the house, "Look what you have become now. Do you still have a little bit of the princess's grace? You're like a little wild child that no one cares about.
If your father, queen, and queen find out, I won’t scold you to death..."
"Hehe..." Chen Nan couldn't help laughing while standing in front of the window.
Just at this moment, the little princess turned around and saw his smile. She said angrily: "You scumbag, you dare to laugh at me, let's see how I deal with you..."
The unruly little princess was reluctantly pulled into the room by Chu Yue.
After midnight, the clouds gather and the rain disperses, everything is silent, and the water-like night sky is filled with bright stars.
Chen Nan stood quietly in front of the window, feeling the tranquility of the night.
"There may not be a rainbow after the storm, but there will definitely be hope and light. Tantai Xuan, you have actually stepped into the realm of immortality. God has been really kind to me. One day I will break through the void. Just wait.
I……"
The eastern part of the Tianyuan Continent, which is the original Immortal Fantasy Continent, has gone through countless wars and wars, and the heroes have stood together and hundreds of countries have been divided. However, three of the big countries account for three-quarters of the entire eastern territory, and the three countries are in the west.
Chu State, the Moon Worshiping State in the north, and the Anping State in the southeast. The three big countries are not bordering each other and are separated by countless small countries, but most of the small countries are satellite countries of the three superpowers. The Chu State
, the three kingdoms of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom and the Anping Kingdom stand in equal strength. They have been in peace for the past ten years and no major war has broken out.
Because Chu State is located in the west and borders the west, its capital city has become one of the hub cities connecting the east and west. Merchants from the east and west travel here, and the flow of passengers is endless. The prosperous trade makes Pingyang City extremely prosperous. The city has a population of no less than one million.
, there is a lot of traffic on weekdays, and the country's material resources are continuously transported here from a grand canal.
Ten days later, Chu Yue and Chen Nan arrived outside the capital of Chu State. They looked at the Pingyang City Wall from a distance. It was like an endless Great Wall, majestic and majestic. The towers embellished on it were grand in scale and image.
magnificent.
As he got closer and closer to Pingyang City, Chen Nan became more and more shocked. The capital of Chu State was many times more majestic than the tallest and most magnificent Huaxia City he had ever seen ten thousand years ago.
The Pingyang City Wall is sixteen meters high and twelve meters wide at the top. The walls are made of green bricks, which are thick, solid, majestic and deep. There are towers, arrow towers and gate towers built on the city gates, towering in the sky, majestic and majestic.
Outside the city wall, there is a moat that is forty meters wide and ten meters deep. In the moat, there are rippling blue waves and flying boats.
Chen Nan was deeply shocked by the grandeur of the Chu capital.
"Hey, you scum are back. You haven't seen Pingyang City, haven't you read about it in a book? Oh, I forgot, you are ignorant and have never read a book at all. Oh, you bastard
What a thief..." The little princess deliberately looked like she hated iron.
Along the way, Chen Nan was ridiculed by the little princess. He could only comfort himself with the spiritual victory method: little girl, I am not as knowledgeable as you now, and one day you will fall into my hands again...
Chu Yue looked at her little sister in a funny way, held her little hand and said, "Yu'er..."
"I know, sister!" the little princess drew a long tail tone, and then muttered in an inaudible voice: "Always protect him, isn't this guy able to pull Hou Yi away?
It's a bow, but I haven't caught it yet. Hum, sooner or later I want him to look good."
Chu Yue rolled her eyes at her, tapped her forehead with her hand, and said, "You!"
Pingyang City is bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and there are many shops on both sides of the road, creating a prosperous scene.
The emperor of Chu State had already received the report. Not only did his eldest daughter go to the west for a pilgrimage, but he also found the little princess who had secretly run away from home. He was extremely happy and sent people out of the city to greet her.
When the welcoming people arrived, Chu Yue and his party had already entered the city, but at this time the little princess disappeared. Chu Yue was startled, thinking that the naughty sister had escaped again. While she was secretly anxious, the little princess disappeared.
The princess appeared from the roadside not far away.
I saw three skewers of mutton skewers in her left hand, two skewers of candied haws on a stick in her right hand, and half a shredded chicken roll in her mouth, chasing two snack bar owners behind her.
"Little girl, I haven't paid for the mutton skewers yet."
"Little girl, you can't steal my candied haws."
"Sister... give me money." The little princess was chewing something in her mouth, slurring her words.
Chu Yue felt angry and funny. There was really nothing she could do to deal with this sister. The officials who came out from the imperial city to greet her couldn't help laughing, but they all turned their heads to the side because of the little princess' usual "magic power".
When the two snack bar owners saw a large number of Royal Guards appearing in front, they were dumbfounded. They turned around and got into the crowd without asking for money. Chu Yue ordered one of his men to take the money and follow them.
Five hundred cavalry and a large number of royal guards who came out from the imperial city protected the two princesses and walked slowly towards the imperial city. Chen Nan was treated as an honored guest by Chu Yue and asked him to follow closely behind her and the little princess.
The Imperial City of Chu Capital is towering, solemn and majestic, exuding the aura of an emperor.
After entering the imperial city, Chu Yue said to Chen Nan: "Mr. Chen, my father may want to receive you soon. Please wait patiently here and don't rush in. Do you understand?"
"Yes, the common people know." Chen Nan didn't know much about the etiquette of kings and ministers in the Chu Kingdom. He had always spoken to Chu Yue in a normal tone, so he was somewhat uneasy after entering the imperial city.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Didn't I tell you that our country of Chu treats people with outstanding talents as state officials? Even when facing the king, you don't have to be polite. Just do what you did now."
No need to be so formal."
Chen Nan let out a sigh of relief. If he had to kowtow and salute an older official like others, he would be annoyed to death.
At this time, the little princess had already disappeared into the palace. Chu Yue smiled and turned to leave.
When Chu Yue came to the harem, she saw the little princess leaning in the queen's arms and chattering something, and the emperor sat opposite with a faint smile on his face.
Chu Yue stepped forward to greet her and sat aside. Among all his children, Emperor Chu Han of the Chu State liked the young princess Chu Yu the most, and the most dependent on him were the eldest princess Chu Yue and the second prince Chu Wenfeng. Seeing that the eldest daughter not only completed the western tour successfully,
He was extremely happy to complete the mission and find his little daughter back.
The little princess talked non-stop and vividly recounted the thrilling adventures along the way, which made the Queen of Chu become very nervous.
After she finished speaking, the Emperor of Chu said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that Renjian would be so bold and dare to have evil intentions on the border of our Chu Kingdom. If I hadn't wanted to destroy the peace that has been on the mainland for many years and plunge the people into dire straits.
Among them, we must send people to conquer the Moon Worshiping Kingdom."
Chu Yuedao said: "My father is very concerned and should not go into war out of anger. Moreover, Renjian did not get any advantage. His men suffered heavy losses, and he himself was seriously injured and escaped in embarrassment."
Chu Han nodded and said: "Let me write down this account for the Moon Worshiping Kingdom first." Then he added: "By the way, there seems to be a person named Chen Nan involved in the whole process. Yu'er, what you said is vague.
Qi Ci, what’s going on?”
Chu Yu changed the topic and said: "Father, you are so kind, you actually want to conquer the Moon Worshiping Kingdom for my sake."
Chu Han said with a straight face: "Hmph, you left the palace without saying a word this time. You don't know how worried we are. How do you think I should punish you?"
"Ah? When I first came back, I begged you not to punish me. Didn't you agree? No, my father is the king of a country. You can't go back on your words." With that, the little princess pestered the queen again.
neck, and said softly: "Mother..."
"Okay, I'm tired of you even at such an old age. Your father is just joking with you, but you promise that something similar will never happen again next time. Otherwise, don't say that your father doesn't agree with you, even I will.
I will never forgive you."
"Haha, I know the queen is the best." As she said that, she kissed the queen on the face.
"You child..."
The little princess turned to face Chu Han and said with a smile: "Father, look, this is the Fire Fairy Lotus that I went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to pick for you." As she said that, she opened the jade box containing the Fire Fairy Lotus.
The fragrance hits your nostrils immediately.
The Emperor of Chu had no intention of punishing her. Seeing that she could come back safely, it was too late to be happy. He just wanted to scare her on purpose. Seeing her weird appearance, he first coaxed the Queen and then came to please him.
