Chapter 136: First Arrival in the Imperial Capital
A few days later, they came to an ancient city.
This is a very ancient city, the whole city wall is made of bluestone is full of knife marks and arrow holes, as if it describes its war-torn weather, and above the city gate, two vague but vigorous ancient characters like a coiled dragon, as if carved with the vicissitudes of time.
Listen to the guards at the city gate, this place is called Shantai City!
When he heard this name, Chen Nan, who was riding on a war horse, couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.
The scale of the ancient city is not very large, with a population of less than 100,000, but the residents of the city are very simple, and they welcome the arrival of the two princesses with various acrobatic arts on the streets.
But when passing by the Tangtai City Square, Chen Nan suddenly froze, the white jade statue that stood on the high platform of the square, with a peerless face and peerless elegance, was his old man 10,000 years ago, Lantai Xuan!
"How is this possible! How could it be...... She! ”
Chennan whispered to himself in shock, his voice was very slight, but it did not escape the ears of Bai He, who was not far away.
"Alas!"
Looking at Chen Nan's lost expression, Bai He sighed in his heart.
Maybe only after seeing the tomb of the gods here can he understand Chennan's mood at this moment, but some things always have to be faced by themselves, and others can never replace them.
"Wow, the Tantai fairy is really beautiful, but we are as beautiful as the Tantai fairy, right, Baihe?"
The little princess, who was riding on the same war horse with Bai He, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh."
Bai He nodded hurriedly, but he was a little speechless in his heart.
Although this is true, wouldn't it be embarrassing to say it like that......
"I'm really ashamed, where can we compare with the fairy of the Tai Tai!"
Chu Yue said to the little princess with a smile.
She ...... Is she really a Taixuan? ”
Chen Nan behind him suddenly asked with some excitement.
"That's right, the original name of the fairy is indeed called Xuantai, don't you know Chennan? Oh, I remember, you and Baihe both came out of a closed town, and it is normal that you don't even know my master, and you don't know the fairy of Yutai. ”
As she spoke, the little princess couldn't help but snicker.
"You Nizi!"
Bai He rubbed the little princess's head with some tears and laughter.
"Baihe, don't touch it again, it won't be tall if you touch it again!"
The little princess was a little puffy.
She ...... Wasn't she a character from 10,000 years ago? How do people remember her? ”
The little princess originally thought that Chen Nan was just curious, but Chen Nan's performance at the moment was a little too excited, which made her feel very strange.
"After thousands of years have passed, the fairy has indeed been forgotten by people, but a thousand years ago she once came to the city, which is one of the few immortal signs in our Chu country, and people have remembered the fairy since then, and the city is named after it."
Regarding Chen Nan's doubts, Chu Yue explained in detail.
She ...... I've become an immortal......"
Chen Nan muttered to himself, standing on the edge of the square, his mind was extremely complicated, and it was not until the soldiers behind him reminded him that he came back to his senses and chased after them on horseback towards the white river.
Riding a horse galloping through the ancient streets, the scenes of thousands of years ago began to appear in Chennan's mind, making him feel very painful.
"I thought I had shaken off the past, but why did the bits and pieces of the past keep coming back to me? Taixuan, Yuxin ......"
"The past is like smoke, why does it always linger in my heart?! The past has become the wind, why is the wind always fluttering in my heart in an uncertain direction? ”
With all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Chen Nan followed Baihe and them into the City Lord's Mansion in Tantai City.
…….
A few days later.
Everyone set off again, heading in the direction of the imperial capital of Chu.
Bai He could clearly feel that since passing through Tantai City, Chen Nan seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were always empty, and his expression was extremely painful from time to time.
Bai He knew that this was because the statue of the Xuantai Vortex in the city of Tantai once again evoked Chennan's painful memories of ten thousand years ago, but these could only be faced by Chennan himself, and he couldn't help Chennan.
Chen Nan's state lasted for nearly a week, and it was not until he was about to approach Pingyang City, the imperial capital of the Chu State, that Bai He found that Chen Nan had finally recovered his spirit and regained his strength.
The east of the Tian Yuan Continent, that is, the original Immortal Continent area, after countless wars, stood side by side and hundreds of countries were divided.
But three of these powers accounted for three-quarters of the entire eastern territory, namely Chu in the west, Moon worship in the north, and Anping in the southeast.
The three great powers do not share a border with each other and are separated by a myriad of smaller states, but the vast majority of them are vassal states of the three superpowers.
The three kingdoms of Chu, Yuebai, and Anping are all in equal strength, and they have been peaceful in the past ten years, and no major wars have broken out.
Due to its location in the western region and its border with the west, the capital of Chu has become one of the hub cities connecting the eastern and western routes.
Merchants from the East and the West come and go here, the flow of passengers is endless, the prosperous business makes Pingyang City prosperous, the population of the city is not less than one million, the traffic is busy on weekdays, and the material resources of the whole country are continuously transported here from a Grand Canal.
On another three days, Baihe and his party finally arrived at Pingyang City, the imperial capital of Chu State!
It is an extremely spectacular city, full of the vicissitudes of history and a sense of weight.
The city wall of Pingyang City is 16 meters high, the top is 12 meters wide, just like an endless Great Wall in general, the city wall is made of blue bricks as a whole, thick and solid, majestic and profound, there are buildings such as city towers, arrow towers, gate towers and so on above the city gate, towering in the air, the momentum is majestic and majestic.
Outside the city walls, there was a moat forty meters wide and ten meters deep, and in the moat, light boats roamed on it.
Looking at the majestic and magnificent Pingyang City in front of him, Bai He was deeply shocked.
Different from the ornate and delicate reinforced concrete objects in the modern world, which are built with the assistance of machinery, the city of Binh Duong in front of the Baihe River is full of the weight and vicissitudes of history.
On the blue-gray city wall, there are knife marks and arrow holes, which are the accumulation of long years, and outside the city gate, UU reads a book A fully armed armorer wearing armor and holding a sword, heavily guarded.
Just when Baihe and they were about to arrive at the gate of Pingyang City, a team of people suddenly poured out of the city, and quickly took over the defense of the city gate, dispersed the people queuing outside the city gate, and then a eunuch-like person slowly walked out of the city gate and came to Baihe and them.
Seeing Bai He, who was riding a war horse with the little princess, this suspected eunuch was a little surprised, but he found that the eldest princess Chu Yue beside him was indifferent and didn't care about this matter, so he naturally didn't see it, but was just going to report it to His Royal Highness the Emperor after going back.
From the mouth of the suspected eunuch, Bai He knew that it was the emperor of Chu who had already received the news that Chu Yue and the little princess had returned to the court, and specially sent people out of the city to greet him.
With the welcoming procession, Baihe and they slowly walked into Pingyang City.
Binh Duong City is bustling with traffic, pedestrians and shops on both sides of the road, creating a prosperous scene.
Listening to the various sounds of buying and buying around her, the corners of the eldest princess Chu Yue's mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile.
After being with Baihe, the little princess has indeed changed a lot, although she is still very arrogant, but whether it is talking or behavior, she has restrained a lot, if it was before, after getting the opportunity to leave the palace, it is not so easy to let the little princess go back.
A large number of men and horses protect the White River, uh...... In fact, it was mainly Chu Yue and the little princess who slowly walked towards the imperial city, and after entering the imperial city, everyone dismounted.
Looking at the palatial palace in front of him, Chu Yue faced Baihe and Chennandao.
"Prince Baihe, Prince Chennan, my father may receive you in a while, I will have someone take you to the side hall to wait, you must not trespass, you know?"
