Chapter 7: The Nineteen Mansions

Compared with the cities of the Southern Regions and the cities of Zi Chengzong, the size of this royal capital is unimaginable.

Lin Xi rode a high-headed horse all the way, looking around as if Grandma Liu was visiting the Grand View Garden, and the shouts of countless people were all monks' atmosphere, which really made Lin Xi's mind a little excited.

In his previous life, he had never seen such a large city, and even more terrifying cities than this had seen countless cities.

But such a crowded city has never been seen, the black head appears like locusts one by one, if it weren't for Zhao Xun's identity, the guards were already waiting to open the way when they entered the city, and now it is estimated that they would have been drowned in the sea of people.

Zhao Xun seems to have long been accustomed to seeing the flow of people in the royal capital, as a privileged class, there is nothing else, but Zhang Xian's identity is not a lot at all.

After all, whether it was before or now, this guy is one of the most important young generations of the royal family, no matter how you say it, this privilege is nothing, and this kind of thing like the guards opening the way is not worth mentioning at all.

Even so, this seemingly small team moved slowly in the flow of people, and it took an hour before finally reaching a sparsely populated place.

Beicheng, this is a forbidden place demarcated by the royal family, and every entrance is guarded by special people, and it is a place where the royal family lives.

It can be said that this is the area where the palace is located, and it does not occupy a large area, only about one-tenth of the entire royal capital, but the luxury inside is completely different from the outside.

Comparatively speaking, even if the flow of people outside the royal capital is like locusts, the buildings are much more luxurious than the cities of the Great Song Dynasty.

The hot gold and maroon paint covered almost the entire royal city, and this alone was completely unmatched by other cities.

Everywhere there will be a privileged class, and even more so in this king.

Only half of the area was where ordinary monks and subjects could roam freely, while the other half, one-fifth, was controlled by the royal family, who established the supreme palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

The other quarter is divided by the four major sects and eight major families, with garrisons and headquarters, anyway, although the entire royal city is bustling and crowded, there are very few people who dare to make trouble.

This is the place where the top forces of the Great Song Dynasty gather the most, and the background behind a monk may be unfathomable, even if it is not a member of the four major sects and the royal family, but at least it is the heir of that official, which is extremely common.

Some people say that on the streets of the royal capital, ten people were killed by throwing a brick at random, perhaps nine of them were from the princely and minister's family, and it is more likely that the remaining one has an unfathomable background, which can be said to be common in the royal capital.

Ordinary civilians and disciples of small families have all shrunk their heads when they come here, and there are many fewer cases of dogs looking down on people.

Since entering the palace complex, the whole road has become bustling, except for the necessary three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, those who walk on the road are only three or three, two by two, so that they are not clean.

Zhao Xun's kid didn't pause, and took Lin Xi through the streets and alleys, and after a while, he came to a mansion.

The mansion is not much different from the ordinary courtyard, but the pillars and painted brick walls are all golden yellow.

This is a specific color that only appears in the Great Song Palace, and even in the palace, there are not many buildings of pure gold.

There is nothing unusual about the huge gate, and the door nails are huge like the mouth of a bowl, giving people a very majestic and spectacular feeling.

There was not much decoration at the door, and a huge plaque came into view of Lin Xi's eyes.

does not show how noble the identity is, only the three big characters of "Nineteen Mansions".

And what is strange is that this huge plaque actually has a long sword on it.

A third of the purple-cyan longsword with a strange shape and incompatible with the plaque was submerged in the plaque, with a solemn aura, which made people clearly feel the killing.

Seeing the plaque, Zhao Xun sighed slightly, and his expression finally became a little humiliated, and said: "This is what I left home four years ago, and I competed with a person, and after failing, this person nailed the sword into the plaque, and since then, I have secretly sworn that if I don't defeat the other party, this sword will never be taken." ”

That obsession is very strong, obviously, if Zhao Erdan hadn't been hit by this, it is estimated that he would not have only Zi Chengzong.

Lin Xi himself had a lot of doubts about this sword, and when he heard Zhao Xun say, he suddenly felt a trace of humiliation for his buddy in his heart.

What kind of character is Zhao Erdan? The first day of the entire royal family, four years ago, although his own strength was not as good as now, but the opponent who took the initiative to challenge and defeat him must be the one of the pride.

Those Tianjiao who are over twenty-five years old still have a face, so naturally they will not bully the teenager who is more than ten years younger than themselves, and such a person, the challenge is just that, and he can still bring such humiliation to Zhao Erdan, which can only show that this person's cultivation Tainan Mansion is no less than Zhao Erdan, and that arrogance is enough to make Zhao Erdan suffer a big loss.

"That man! Is it still in the royal capital? Lin Xi knew that the existence of such a person was a demon for Zhao Erdan, and among his various opponents, if this kind of demon really existed, the trick he showed would not be as calm as before.

Therefore, this person will not be the eldest prince, they still have a super strong person in the same lineage.

However, if not, then the challenge for Zhao Xun will become even greater, such a strong existence, and must be solved by Zhao Erdan himself, it is conceivable how small the difficulty and feasibility are, "After fighting with me, he disappeared in the Great Song Dynasty, but his roots are still in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a member of my royal family, he will not participate in this battle, but even if I become the king of Song, if he returns, I will not have the confidence to really defeat him." Zhao Xun smiled bitterly, that person would not compete with him for the position of King Song.

Because his talent has always been hidden, his surname is Zhao, but he didn't take the Great Song Dynasty seriously.

is such a peerless Tianjiao, so that the entire royal family of the Great Song Dynasty knows very little, and Zhao Xun didn't know about the existence of this person before.

If it weren't for that battle, it is estimated that he would not have known in his life that there were still young people in the royal family who were not weaker than him in terms of talent and development strength, or even stronger.

"It seems that you still have a long way to go." Lin Xi said with a smile.

didn't show much of that kind of regretful expression, but mentioned that his brother was happy.

In this life, you don't need many friends, a few are enough, especially the kind of friends who share weal and woe and can be entrusted with life and death, which is very rare in itself.

However, it is never these friends who can motivate you and keep you going, but opponents, opponents of fate.

Looking at the entire Nine Heavens Continent, all those who really have great achievements are all the existence of a fateful natural enemy, with such a natural enemy, you can't slack off no matter how you cultivate, and there is also such a strong enemy, which can make you completely dare not relax.

This is what is necessary to really become a strong man, the world is so big, and the loneliness of seeking defeat is unbearable for every Tianjiao.

It's not that you go into obscurity and then start going crazy, this is a law, and it's also a problem that many people can't see.

Fortunately, Lin Xi has such an enemy at the moment, even if it is only temporary, for him, it is enough to prevent him from slacking off now.

That person was Yan Baipao, a person who seemed to have been completely eliminated by the younger generation of Zi Chengzong, but it was precisely because of the existence of this person that Lin Xi did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so that he frantically improved himself and honed himself.

Similarly, Zhao Erdan also has such an opponent, Lin Xi is naturally happy for him, either I step on your chest and step on the peak, or you use me as a stepping stone to achieve invincibility.

This is what life really needs, opponent, who has always had it? And who is not extremely eager.

"One day, I will use him as a stepping stone, to the point where he can't even look up." His eyes were very firm, for Zhao Erdan, this was his current goal, and his desire was even stronger than being the heir of the Great Song Dynasty.

In his heart, the heir of the Great Song Dynasty is just a process he has experienced, a means to improve himself, and the ultimate goal is to fight with the person who brought him endless humiliation.

Victory, in climbing to a higher place.

"Squeak!"

The gate slowly opened, and a group of red-clothed young men waited solemnly in the courtyard.

As soon as they saw Zhao Erdan, they all showed joy, and the person who led them suddenly stepped forward, with a strong smile on his face, and said, "Cousin, you are finally back, I thought that you were not going to participate in this battle for succession." ”

The surprised gaze and expression did not carry the slightest fake, obviously, he not only had awe for this future Song King of the Great Song Dynasty, but also had a lot of flattering attitude.

It's not surprising, after all, for him, no matter whether Zhao Xun succeeds in winning the status of heir or not, the identity of the royal family Tianjiao is enough to make them flattering, the Nangong family, the family with the top ranking of the eight families.

Compared with the royal family, it is more than a little inferior.

Even if the head of the Nangong family is a first-class marquis, he can use Zhao Xun's qualifications and his own strength, even if he may not be able to become the king of Song in the future and be a first-class marquis, it is just a matter of being caught.

It's not something that a small family disciple like them can slack off.

This is also the reason why they came to the Nineteen Mansion to wait before Zhao Xun arrived, who snubbed him, this can't snub one of the successors of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

No matter how they performed in the battle for succession, at least Zhao Xun could not have gone down to Huangquan because of this battle.

And the Nangong family was born tied to Zhao Xun in the same boat.
