Chapter 10 The Imperial City of War(1/3)
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the house, Chen Nan opened his eyes. After washing, he began to meditate and adjust his breathing in the house.
All the Qishi in Qishi Mansion had received the invitation from Sima Mansion. After breakfast, they rushed to Sima Mansion. After the Qishi Mansion was empty, Chen Nan jumped up. He had already adjusted to the best
State. He strode out of the house with a Yi bow on his back and a long knife on his waist.
The capital city of Chu State was extremely prosperous. The streets were bustling with traffic and there were many shops on both sides of the streets. The sounds of buying and selling were endless.
Today is the day when Sima Lingkong, the son of General Huwei Sima Changfeng, and Nalan Ruoshui, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister Nalan Wencheng, are getting married. Sima Changfeng and Nalan Wencheng have become extremely popular ministers, and now they have invited the Emperor of Chu to attend the wedding, so today
There are many times more soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys than before.
Chen Nan had not gone far on the noisy street when he was stopped by a group of soldiers holding spears.
"Stop, who are you and why are you traveling with a knife?"
"I am Chen Nan."
The soldier who asked the question looked back at his companion and said, "Chen Nan...why does it sound so familiar?"
One of the soldiers asked: "Could it be Chen Nan, the protector of the country who defeated the Dragon Knight?"
"Exactly." In order to get rid of them as quickly as possible, Chen Nan pointed his hand at the ground, and with a "chi" sound, he let out a golden sword energy, which immediately opened a deep hole in the ground.
"Ah, the golden sword energy in the rumors...is really Lord Protector of the Country." Several people exclaimed and hurriedly saluted.
Chen Nan waved his hand and said, "Get up. I'm going to attend Sima Lingkong's wedding. I'll leave one person to lead the way for me. The others can continue patrolling."
With soldiers leading the way, no one stopped Chen Nan on the way. After arriving outside Sima's mansion, Chen Nan waved his hand and sent the soldier away.
The courtyard of Sima Mansion is tall and magnificent. The vermilion gate has a large word "happiness" posted on it. On both sides of the gate are two majestic stone lions carved from white marble. At this time, there is a lot of traffic in front of the mansion, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.
They are all of noble status and most of them are celebrities in the imperial capital.
Chen Nan watched quietly not far away from Sima's mansion. It was not until the emperor arrived that he turned into a nearby alley. All the civil and military officials attending the wedding came out of the mansion to welcome Chu Han, the emperor's lord. The scene was grand.
It was staggering, and the voices of "Long live" kept ringing in my ears, and it took a long time to calm down.
After about half an hour, there was loud music and drums on the street, and the procession to welcome the bride returned. Sima Lingkong sat on a tall horse, wearing a bright red wedding dress, his face was full of joy and contentment.
The procession to welcome the bride was extremely spectacular, with no fewer than a hundred drummers and no less than a thousand escorts. The bride, Nalan Ruoshui, was surrounded by nearly a hundred warriors in her sedan chair. It was clear at a glance that she was a highly skilled person.
The work is extremely rigorous.
When approaching Sima's mansion, a dark green flying dragon suddenly rushed out of Sima's mansion. The flying dragon hovered above Sima Lingkong, roaring, and then a red banner suddenly hung from the flying dragon's body, with four big words written on it: a happy marriage for a hundred years.
The crowd on the street suddenly became excited.
"Look, the dragon..."
"A happy marriage for a hundred years."
"I wish the dragon knight Mr. Sima and the talented Miss Nalan a happy marriage for a hundred years."
…
The firecrackers of Sima Mansion went off in unison, and the silk and bamboo trees blew in unison.
Sima Lingkong was in high spirits, waved his hand in the air, and the flying dragon fell back to Sima's mansion.
Even before the wedding officially started, it had already reached a climax.
After the wedding team entered Sima Mansion, the front door was no longer as noisy as before.
Chen Nan turned out of the alley, listening to the drum music and cheers in Sima's mansion, he sneered in his heart.
Sima Lingkong's words two days ago kept echoing in his ears: "Ruoshui will marry me in two days, and the groom is not you, hehe... You must come to my wedding. Well, you can come to the bridal chamber then, hehe."
"
"Since we have decided to make a big fuss, why are we still hesitating?" Thinking of this, Chen Nan took off Hou Yi's bow from behind.
At this time, the guards outside the Sima Mansion had noticed him and shouted: "Who are you and why do you appear here with weapons?"
Chen Nan ignored them, took out a carved feather arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring. The guards just wanted to step forward, but the dark Houyi bow suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, and Chen Nan's body surged with a wave of dazzling golden light.
The guards were frightened by the breathtaking momentum and involuntarily took a dozen steps back.
At this time, in the Sima Mansion, Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui were preparing to worship in the hall. However, at this moment, almost everyone felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
"Worship the heaven and the earth..."
"Boom"
As soon as the person presiding over the wedding finished his voice, bursts of wind and thunder suddenly sounded from the sky and the earth, and everyone in the hall was shocked.
Chen Nan gently loosened the bow string, and the carved feather arrow shot by Hou Yi's bow turned into a golden light and flew forward. The tall gatehouse of Sima Mansion was pierced by the golden light arrow, and collapsed with a rumbling sound.
The golden light arrow was five or six meters high from the ground and could not hurt anyone, but all buildings were severely damaged by it. It was like a golden dragon passing through the house, dragging a long golden afterimage through the buildings.
The golden light was raging everywhere, and "dragon gates" were carved out wherever it passed.
When the golden arrow passed through the hall of Sima Mansion, everyone was stunned. The golden arrow passed through the wall above the emperor's head, leaving a terrifying "dragon gate" on the wall.
"Protect the Emperor."
There was a huge commotion in the hall.
Emperor Chu Han was really frightened, and his face turned pale. The queen grabbed his hand and panicked.
The eldest princess Chu Yue shouted: "Don't panic, everyone." Then she protected the emperor.
The little princess Chu Yu said: "It's Chen Nan, he must be the scum Chen Nan."
At this time, everyone who had watched the battle in the palace realized that this was indeed the divine arrow shot by Hou Yi's bow, and it must be Chen Nan.
"Haha..." A long laugh sounded from outside Sima's mansion.
"Where is Sima Lingkong? I, Chen Nan, have come to the bridal chamber." Rolling sound waves rumbled over Sima's mansion.
Emperor Chu Han and Princess Chu Yue's expressions suddenly changed. What they were worried about finally happened. Chen Nan was really going to rebel against Chu. This made them regret and hate.
The people present at the wedding were all celebrities in the imperial capital, and they had already heard about the secret. At this time, they already understood that Chen Nan was probably here to cause a big wedding, and that he might want to leave Chu State.
The wedding could no longer go on. At this time, Chen Nan had already entered the hall from the gate of Sima Mansion. He held a long knife in his hand, and the blade exuded a bright light. Wherever the golden edge passed, the gun broke and the halberd broke.
The broken blade flew. The sword energy surged in all directions, and powerful power fluctuations surged around him in the courtyard. The warriors in the Sima Mansion swayed like duckweeds in the angry waves, and rows of people were knocked to the ground.
, no one in the house can challenge him.
Sima Ling gritted his teeth in anger, wishing to eat Chen Nan alive. He pulled off the red fireworks from his chest and strode out.
The guests in the hall, including the Emperor of Chu, also came to the courtyard. Nalan Ruoshui's delicate body trembled for a while, she hesitated, and finally pulled off the red scarf on her head and came to the courtyard.
At this time, Chu Yue had ordered people to seal off the Sima Mansion, and countless guards surrounded the Sima Mansion. The Qishi Mansion was transferred to the emperor's left and right escorts. The little princess Chu Yu was pulled by the queen, and they all stood beside Chu Han.
around.
Sima Lingkong pointed at Chen Nan and said, "Why did you disturb my wedding?"
Chen Nan said: "Don't give me hypocritical excuses, you should know why!"
Sima Lingkong's face turned pale and he said, "What do you want?"
At this time, a slender middle-aged man walked out and said, "Chen Nan, what are you doing? Since my daughter is married, you shouldn't bother her anymore."
Hearing this, Chen Nan learned that the person in front of him was Nalan Ruoshui's father, the Left Chancellor of Chu State, Nalan Wencheng. He clasped his fists and said, "Ruoshui doesn't like Sima Lingkong at all. If you really marry him, you will only suffer a lifetime.
Can you bear to let her fall into a pit of fire?"
Before Chen Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted. An imposing middle-aged man strode out of the crowd and said: "Guardian of the Country, you must understand what you are doing. My son's marriage is a gift from the emperor. Don't you
Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty?"
"It turns out to be General Sima. What a big hat. Hey, why don't you just say that I was shocked when I used force in front of the emperor?" After saying that, Chen Nan turned to face Chu Han and said loudly: "
If I, Chen Nan, had not fought against the dragon knight in the martial arts field that day, I am afraid that the Chu State would have been defeated and became the laughing stock of all the princely states. What did I, Chen Nan, risk my life in exchange for? Why did Your Majesty marry Miss Nalan to Sima Lingkong?
Why are you doing this to me?"
Some ministers nearby scolded: "How dare you, Chen Nan, to question His Majesty. You have already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Cheating the king? Hehe, people respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet. If someone offends me, when I can't bear it anymore, even the king of heaven, I will pull him down!" At this point, he pointed his sword towards the sky,
A bright sword light shot straight up, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire courtyard like lightning. The cold air was breathtaking. Everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure, and everyone in the venue changed color.
Chu Han said: "Chen Nan, I know you are very dissatisfied, but the Sima family proposed the marriage first..."
Chen Nan interrupted him and sneered: "Hey, do you need to queue up for marriage?"
The eldest princess Chu Yue saw that Chen Nan was disrespectful to the emperor and said angrily: "Chen Nan, you are going too far. Don't forget that you are a minister of Chu State. Can a minister talk to the king like this?"
When he met Chu Yue for the first time, Chen Nan felt amazed. Later on the road, Chu Yue greeted him with greetings, which made him feel like spring breeze, and he felt more like him. But a series of things that happened recently, Chu Yue's affection for him
The status in her heart plummeted. This was a manipulative woman who would do anything for the benefit of the emperor's family. Her scheming was a bit scary.
"It's okay to be a minister of Chu State!"
"You...you were born in the Chu country, do you want to betray your own country? Will you be able to feel at ease in the future?"
"I don't belong to any country. I'm just a passerby from the Chu country. The Chu country in my heart has not yet risen to the level of the motherland, so I feel at ease." When saying these words, Chen Nan regarded himself as a million years old.
The person in front of me made everyone present feel confused. "I just don't know if some people can feel at ease. For the sake of political gain, they will drag their good friends into the nightmare of marriage."
Chu Yue's expression changed and she scolded: "Even if you have a thousand reasons, you should not betray Chu State!"
