Arrival in the Capital City

Tan Taixuan, a mysterious woman with beauty and wisdom, has left an endless legend in Tan Taicheng.Frank stood in the square feeling lost.

Why.. Why did you do that to me? When the immortal was separated, he looked at the sky and sighed.Frank followed Chu Yue and the little princess and walked into the castellan mansion of Tan Tai City.

Looking at his lost appearance, the little princess cried out discontentedly, "Are you still a man, scum?"I have said that after returning to the imperial capital to find someone to help you recover, how can you still look lifeless, hum, stinking thief, stingy!」

"Yu'er must not be rude to Chen's son." Chu Yue said with concern, "Is Mr. Chen too tired from the journey?"?Otherwise, let's rest here for two days.

Frank shook his head blankly and said, "Let's get on the road."

"All right, get back to the imperial capital a little earlier, and get Chen's strength back up a little earlier."

Frank left the thousand-year-old city of Dantai in a confused way, and in the next two days he seemed to have lost his soul and his eyes were empty.There is not a trace of vitality.

It was not until three days later, when a thunderclap sounded in his ears, that he came to his senses like an epiphany, and dark clouds rolled in the sky.The ink waves surged, dozens and hundreds of golden snakes scurried among the clouds, and the rumbling thunder echoed in his heart like evening drums and morning bells.

In a flash, Frank had a glimmer of enlightenment, time flies, the years pass, the passing away is gone forever, and it is impossible to turn back.What exists still exists, and only what exists is real.People can not always live in the past, only grasp the present, can not regret the past.

At this time, the True Qi in his body, which had already dried up, suddenly came back to life like a dead tree in spring.The weak True Qi is free in his body like a silkworm chrysalis.Slowly, the subtle True Qi gradually grew up, and it kept flowing in his body, like a trickle, like a light breeze.

The power that had been taken away by the little princess returned to its original state in an instant.Moreover, by looking inside, we can see that the True Qi in his body is more pure than before.The pale yellow and dull special True Qi did not appear again and completely disappeared from his body.After a long time, Frank's excitement slowly calmed down. Not only did he recover his strength, but his mood was also bright.Sweeping away the haze before.

Heavy rain poured down, a curtain of water between heaven and earth, and Chu Yue and his party were temporarily trapped in a small town.Five hundred horsemen took all the inns in the town.

The little princess was happy like a little angel, jumping and jumping, not like the scheming little devil before.

"Oh, that's great. It's raining. It's so cool."

"Don't hide in the room, sister," she said to Chu Yue as she cheered. "Come out quickly. Look how cool it is."

Chu Yue walked into the rain, and the dense raindrops did not fall on her body, but slid to one side three inches away from her body.The invisible body-protecting True Qi keeps the rain out.

Frank felt a shock in his heart and secretly suspected that he had sensed the breath of a monk on Chu Yue's body before.But at this time, she revealed the true spirit of a profound warrior.

"Could it be that she is practicing martial arts?"

Chu Yue caught the little princess's arm in the rain and pulled her to the house. "Look at what you look like now."Is there still a little princess's Feng Yi? It's like a little gamin who no one cares about, and when his father and mother know about it, they don't scold you to death.

"Hey, hey.." Frank stood in front of the window and couldn't help laughing.

Just then the little princess turned around and saw his smile. She said angrily, "How dare you laugh at me, thief and scum!"See what I can do to you..

The obstinate little princess was reluctantly pulled into the room by Chu Yue.

After midnight, the clouds closed and the rain dispersed, everything was quiet, and the stars were shining in the watery night sky.

Frank stood quietly in front of the window, feeling the quiet of the night.

There may not be a rainbow after the storm, but there will certainly be hope and light.Tan Taixuan, you have stepped into the realm of immortality. God treats me well. One day I will break through the void. You wait for me..

To the east of the Tianyuan Continent, which was originally the land of immortals and illusions, after countless years of war, a group of heroes stood side by side and a hundred countries were divided.But three of them account for three quarters of the whole eastern territory.The three countries are Chu in the west, Baiyue in the north and Anping in the southeast.The three great powers do not border on each other and are separated by numerous small countries, but the vast majority of small countries are dependencies of the three superpowers.The State of Chu, the State of Worshipping the Moon, and the State of Anping stood side by side, with equal strength. In the past ten years, they have lived in peace, and no major war has broken out.

Because Chu is located in the west and borders on the west, its capital has become one of the hub cities connecting the East and the West.Businessmen from the East and the West come and go here, and the flow of passengers is endless. The prosperous commerce and trade make Pingyang City extremely prosperous.The population of the city is no less than one million, with heavy traffic on weekdays, and the supplies of the whole country are continuously transported here from a Grand Canal.

Ten days later, Chu Yue and Frank arrived outside the capital of the State of Chu, overlooking the wall of Pingyang, which was like a continuous Great Wall.Magnificent and magnificent. The towers decorated on it are grand in scale and magnificent in image.

As he got closer and closer to Pingyang City, Frank was more and more shocked.The capital of the State of Chu was many times more magnificent than the most magnificent Chinese city he had ever seen ten thousand years ago.

The city wall of Pingyang is 16 meters high and 12 meters wide at the top. The wall is built with green bricks, which is thick, solid, magnificent and deep.On the city gate, there are towers, arrow towers and gate towers, which are towering in the air, vigorous and majestic.Outside the city wall, there is a moat with a width of 40 meters and a depth of 10 meters. In the moat, there are rippling blue waves and flying boats.

Frank was deeply shocked by the grandeur of the capital of Chu.

"Hey, the scum is back. Haven't you seen Pingyang City? Haven't you read about it yet?"?Oh, I forgot. You are an ignorant guy who has never read a book at all.Alas, you stinking thief.. The little princess deliberately made a look of hating iron but not steel.

Along the way, Frank was ridiculed by the little princess, and he could only comfort himself with spiritual victory: Little girl, I don't have the same experience as you now.One day you will fall into my hands again.

Chu Yue looked at her little sister with a laugh. She took her little hand and said, "Yuer.."

"Know--Tao--yes, sister--sister!"!The little princess gave a long coda, and then muttered in an inaudible voice, Always protect him.This guy was able to pull the bow of Houyi, but I caught him. Hum, sooner or later I want him to look good.

Chu Yue gave her a white look, touched her forehead with her hand, and said, "You!"

The city of Pingyang is full of traffic, pedestrians and shops on both sides of the road, which is a prosperous scene.

The emperor of the State of Chu had already received the report, and not only did his eldest daughter travel to the West, but he also found the little princess who had run away from home secretly.At that moment, he was very happy and sent someone out of the city to meet him.

When the troops arrived, Chu Yue and his party had already entered the city, but at this time the little princess had disappeared.Chu Yue was startled, thinking that the naughty sister had slipped away again, and that she was secretly anxious.The little princess emerged from the roadside not far away.

She saw three strings of mutton kebabs in her left hand, two strings of ice-sugar gourds in her right hand, and half of the shredded chicken rolls in her mouth.She was followed by two owners of the snack bar.

"Little girl, I haven't paid for the mutton kebabs yet."

"Little girl, you can't rob me of my ice-sugar gourd."

Sister.. Give the money. The little princess was chewing something vaguely.

Chu Yue felt angry and funny, and there was really no way to take this sister, and the officials who came out of the imperial city to greet her could not help laughing.But awed by the little princess's usual "magic power," they all turned their heads to one side.

When the owners of the two snack bars saw a large number of royal guards appearing in front of them, they were dumbfounded and did not care to ask for money.Turned around and got into the crowd. Chu Yue ordered one of his men to follow him with the money.

Five hundred fighters and a large number of royal guards from the imperial city to protect the two princesses to the imperial city slowly, Frank was treated as a guest of honor by Chu Yue.Let him follow closely behind her and the little princess.

The imperial city of Chu is towering, solemn and magnificent, and exudes the spirit of an emperor.

After entering the imperial city, Chu Yue said to Frank, "Master Chen, my father may receive you later. You wait here patiently."Don't rush in, do you know?

Yes, the grass people know.Frank doesn't know much about the etiquette of the emperor and his subjects in the State of Chu, and he has always spoken to Chu Yue in an ordinary tone.After entering the imperial city at this time, I was somewhat perturbed.

"You don't have to be nervous," said Chu Yue with a smile. "Didn't I say that the State of Chu treats those who have outstanding talents as scholars?Even when facing the king, you don't have to give a big gift. You can do what you did before and what you do now. You don't have to be cautious.

Frank breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to kowtow to a slightly older official like others, he would have been bored to death.

By this time the little princess had already disappeared in the palace, and Chu Yue smiled and turned away.

When Chu Yue came to the harem, she saw the little princess leaning in the queen's arms and chattering about something.The emperor sat opposite with a faint smile on his face.

Chu Yue came forward to see the ceremony and sat aside. Chu Han, the emperor of the State of Chu, liked the little princess Chu Yu most among all his sons and daughters.The most important thing is the eldest princess Chu Yue and the second prince Chu Wenfeng.He was very happy to see that his eldest daughter not only completed the task of the Western Tour, but also found his youngest daughter back.

The little princess talked a lot about the adventures along the way, and the empress of Chu was very nervous.

When she had finished, the emperor of Chu said in a deep voice, I didn't expect this Ren Jian to be so bold.How dare I have evil intentions on the border of Chu? If I didn't want to destroy the peace of the mainland for many years and trap the people in the abyss of suffering,We must send people to conquer the Moon Worship Kingdom.

Chu Yue said, "My father is very worried. He shouldn't make a big fight in a moment of anger. Besides, Ren Jian didn't get any advantage."His men suffered heavy losses, and he himself was seriously wounded and fled in confusion.

Chu Han nodded and said, "Write down this account for the Moon Worship Kingdom first."."Then he added," By the way, there seems to be a man named Frank involved in the whole process. Yuer, what you said is vague.What the hell is going on?

Chu Yu changed the subject and said, "It's very kind of you, my father, to want to conquer the Moon Worship Kingdom for my sake."

With a straight face, Chu Han said, "Hum, 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?

"Huh?"? When I first came back, I begged you not to punish me. Didn't you promise?No, the father is the king of a country. You can't go back on your words.As she spoke, the little princess wrapped herself around the queen's neck again and said in a charming voice, "Mother.."

"Well, it's boring to be so old. Your father is playing with you, but you promise that nothing like this will happen again."Otherwise, not to mention your father's refusal, even I will never forgive you.

"Oh, I knew my mother was the best." With these words, she kissed the queen on the cheek.

"You child.."

The little princess turned to Chu Han and said with a smile, "Father, look, this is the fiery lotus I picked for you after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers.".As she spoke, she opened the jade box that held the fiery lotus, and the fragrance in the room suddenly assailed her nostrils.

The emperor of the State of Chu had not intended to punish her, but he was too happy to see her come back safely.I was just trying to scare her.At this time, seeing her elf's strange appearance, she first coaxed the queen, then came to please him, and then a smile appeared on her face.The color of spoiling is overflowing.

"You little mischievous.." As he spoke, Chu Han pinched her smooth pink face. Then he turned his head and said to Chu Yue,Is there anything unusual in the west?

No, those practitioners from all over the world have all entered the Falling Wind Mountains, and have not stayed in our territory.It seems that they all went for the legendary Kirin, and no one has any bad intentions about the border of Chu.

"Oh, that's good.".But the appearance of the mythical unicorn in the Fallen Wind Mountains is really an extraordinary thing. Is there really a sage who is going to appear in the world?

Chu Yue said with a smile, "The wisest sage is you, my father. Don't worry about that."

Chu Han said with a smile, "You girl, why are you as glib as your sister? Actually, I'm not very worried."Our country of Chu has been prosperous and peaceful in recent years, and we don't expect anything to happen.

By the way, Father, on this trip to the West, I discovered a prodigy.Well, strictly speaking, it was the younger sister who discovered and caught the man.

"Oh, who is he?"

"You're a scum," said the little princess. "You're a thief. You're ignorant. You can't even write."

Looking at Chu Yu's anxious appearance, Chu Yue could not help laughing. Ashamed and angry, the little princess said, "Sister, you mustn't say.."

"Ha ha.." The emperor and the queen laughed at the same time. It was rare for them to see the little princess of the elves so ashamed and annoyed.

"What's the matter with the moon?" Asked the queen.

"Can Yu-erh say something?" Asked Chu Yue.

When the little princess saw the emperor and the empress looking hopeful and curious, she was immediately discouraged and said, "Tell me."

Chu Yue told Frank the whole story, and the emperor and the empress were angry at the beginning.Then he couldn't help showing a look of shock.

Finally, after hearing this, Chu Han said to Chu Yu, "No wonder your little naughty words are flashing. So there are still these things.".According to what he did, he really deserved to die ten thousand times, but it was a pity that he was such a talented person.

The empress also said, "This man is really a genius. As long as he has a bow in his hand, he is equivalent to a peerless master.".However, his words and deeds really deserve to die ten thousand times.

Chu Han said, "Yuer, you have really grown up. Under such circumstances, you can still think that he is a talented person and leave him alive.".You've grown up. I really don't have to worry about you anymore.

Chu Yu pursed her lips and said, "He's already grown up, but now I really regret that I didn't kill him."

Chu Han hesitated for a moment. "Keep him," he said.

"I think we should keep him," said Chu Yue. "After all, talent is rare."

"Then we must keep him quiet," said the queen. "We can't let him say anything."

Chu Yue said, "Through my observation in the past few days, I have found that he is not the kind of person who speaks freely. He should understand his situation."

"That's all right," said the queen.

Frank waited outside for a long time, but there was no news. He was somewhat perturbed, but he did not know that he had already turned around at the gate of death.Just as he was getting anxious, a maid of honor came up to him and whispered, "Are you Mr. Chen?"

"Yes."

"The eldest princess has ordered me to take you into the palace," said the maid, "and at the same time she wants me to tell you not to be nervous and to see the emperor later.All you have to do is speak respectfully.

"Okay, I got it."

Frank was nervous because he had molested the little princess and was afraid that the emperor would blame him. After listening to the maid's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The palace has red walls and yellow tiles, carved beams and painted pillars, resplendent in gold and jade. Palaces and terraces, scattered high and low, are magnificent and magnificent.

The emperor of Chu summoned him in his study and glanced at the tall and burly old man in front of him."The grass people have seen the emperor," he said, kowtowing.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Frank stood aside with his head down.

Chu Han's face sank like water. "Have you ever been rude to my little daughter?" He said coldly.

Frank suddenly saw sweat on his face and said, "Yes, the grass people were confused for a while."

"Do you know," said Chu Han-sen, "that you should have died ten thousand times already by your words and deeds?"

The cold sweat on Frank's body soaked his underwear.

However, the eldest princess pleaded for you, saying that your family lived in the mountains and did not understand etiquette and law, and asked me to forgive you.I didn't want to let you go, but Yuer interceded for you, saying that you were a talented person and could make up for your mistakes in the future.That's why I didn't kill you.

"Thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness."

Chu Han's voice was no longer cold. He slowed down his tone and said, "You don't have to be afraid. If I forgive you, I won't kill you again.".Besides, I have heard that you are really a talented person. As long as you serve me well in the future, I will never treat you badly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, you don't have to be so formal in the future. Even if you see me, you don't have to make a big gift."From now on, you are one of the scholars of the State of Chu, of course, a hermit.You can't mention to anyone that you can pull the bow of Hou Yi.With a smile on his face, Chu Han said, Oh, I'm really glad that the State of Chu has a talented person like you.You don't have to worry about the past. Work hard, and I will give you a promotion in the future.

Frank came out of the palace and wiped a cold sweat. He sighed, "What a close call! I almost said goodbye to the world."He breathed a sigh of relief. But as he walked along, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The old man was almost shocked. He slapped and rubbed three times, and the old fox first slapped at random.Then he gave me a'candied date 'to eat.Under the combination of kindness and threat, he wanted me to work for him obediently. This old fox really knows how to control people.He is indeed an old man who has been sitting on the throne of the emperor for decades.

"Mr. Chen, what are you mumbling about?" Chu Yue, dressed in white, is beautiful, elegant and generous.

"Oh, nothing. I was wondering why the palace is so big. I almost turned around."

"Oh, come with me. I'll take you out and arrange your place by the way."

For this peerless princess, Frank had a good impression, and Chu Yue took good care of him along the way.He escaped from the clutches of the little princess.Looking at Chu Yue's matchless face and amiable smile, he said respectfully, "Thank you, Princess."

Chu Yue smiled and led him out of the palace, where the ministers lived outside the imperial city.The two of them came to a vast mansion.The tall gate tower is magnificent, with mighty stone lions carved in white marble on both sides, and a plaque with gold characters on a red background hanging on the vermilion gate.Letter: Qishi Mansion.

"The people who can live here are all strange people," said Chu Yue. "Everyone has some special skills.You're going to be living here in the future. At first, you're not familiar with this place, and you may not be used to it, but after a long time, you'll be fine.

The Qishi Mansion was divided into numerous independent courtyards, which were not as grand and luxurious as those in front of the mansion.On the contrary, there is a taste of returning to nature, and each small courtyard has its own unique landscape.

When the so-called strange people inside saw Chu Yue, they just smiled and nodded, and did not come forward to salute.It can be seen how noble the status of these Qishi who enjoy the treatment of national scholars is.

Frank's small courtyard is very quiet. A small piece of green bamboo is planted on the west side of the garden. A stone table and two stone chairs are shown in the shadow of the bamboo.On the east side is a flower garden, between which there are several strange stones.

Frank asked, "Am I going to live here?"? Don't you want me to do something?

Chu Yue said with a smile, "You can stay here for the time being. I'll find someone to help you recover your strength in a few days."Then find someone to teach you some advanced martial arts so that you can better master the Hou Yi bow.

"Oh"

"But don't run around. Don't break into people's yards before you get to know them."

"What's the matter?" Asked Frank.

Chu Yue said, "Some of these people have studied poison so carefully that the courtyard is full of snakes, insects, and poisonous weeds."Some people delve into magic, and the powerful magic energy may destroy the whole courtyard at any time;There are others..

The more Frank heard, the more frightened he became. What a mess of strange people lived here. It was a colony of terrorist organizations.

Finally, Chu Yue added, "There are very few guards here, but every day there are a few talented people who take turns to patrol."So it's absolutely safe here.

Frank complained bitterly: "It's over. The escape plan is ruined.".

After seeing Chu Yue off, Frank felt uneasy: "That guy who plays poison, his snakes and insects won't come to my yard, will they?"?And that saboteur of magic doesn't live next door to me, does he?
