Chapter 64: Conspiracy (1)
At the beginning of twilight, Lin Qingwan and her party finally arrived at the foot of Fengcheng, the imperial capital of the Nanyuan Kingdom.
As the imperial capital of the Nanyuan Kingdom, the geographical location of Fengcheng is particularly important.
It is located at the mouth of the Bihu Lake, with Bihu Lake on one side.
On one side is the Desert Sea in the south, which is under the control of the Liu clan, which has produced a queen clan in the past dynasties of the Nanyuan Kingdom, and is the most prosperous and wealthy city in the entire Tianxuan Continent since ancient times.
As soon as the last rays of the sun set, the sky went dark.
Looking at the past from the official road, this city with a history of thousands of years seems to be floating in the clouds, majestic and gorgeous, with carved beams and stacked buildings.
After nightfall, the city is brightly lit, like stars, making the whole Fengcheng look more like a city floating in the sky.
"It's finally here, and I can see Luo Chen."
Lin Qingwan jumped off the carriage in a hurry.
Bai Luochen read a secret letter and left in a hurry, Lin Qingwan was worried about Bai Luochen's safety along the way, and she had no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way.
However, the scout, who had reached the gate first, turned back and leaped from his horse.
knelt on one knee and told a piece of news that made Lin Qingwan extremely worried:
"Tell the princess that we are too late, it is past the hour to enter the city, and the guards guarding the gate say that no one is allowed to enter the city after nightfall."
"Already closed? But didn't the prince go to Fengcheng? Why didn't he meet us at the gates? ”
Lin Qingwan frowned restlessly, he left in a hurry, she forgot to ask him what was the matter and where he was going?
She only thought that he had gone to Fengcheng, but since he was not waiting at the city gate, it meant that he was not in the city, so why did he leave? And where did they go?
Thinking like this, Lin Qingwan was a little flustered and ordered: "You go and tell the guards guarding the city, just say that I am from Prince Rui's mansion, and we will enter the city from the back cover, and there is a gold medal edict from the emperor of Nanyuan as evidence, let him let us enter the city quickly, otherwise we will bear the consequences." ”
"Princess Qiqi, my subordinates have already informed me just now," the scout said with some embarrassment, "but...... However, the governor of the city guard is strict, Fengcheng is the gateway to the southern abyss country, as soon as the hour passes, the nine gates are closed, don't say that it is the king of Shuoyue, even if the queen of Shuoyue country comes, it can't be an exception. ”
"Huh! What a big breath! ”
Lin Qingwan was angry and laughed instead of being angry, "I don't believe that the empress is really here, they dare to lock the empress outside the city, but I want to go with them to evaluate the reason." ”
She was worried about Bai Luochen's safety, and her temper was hot, so she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
The scout rushed over and pulled Lin Qingwan's way.
"Don't be impulsive, the current governor of Fengcheng is Liu Changfeng, the patriarch of the Liu clan, he is the biological father of the current queen of Nanyuan Kingdom, I think we should wait until dawn."
"By the way, didn't I take over the five cities of their Nanyuan Kingdom last time? Let's go and see the five cities. ”
Lin Qingwan laughed, although she was a little unhappy, she didn't argue with him.
"The princess probably doesn't know yet, right? The five cities ceded to us by the Nanyuan Kingdom are the five most humble and impoverished cities in the Nanyuan Kingdom. ”
When the scout saw Lin Qingwan's excited appearance, he couldn't help but kindly remind her.
"What? The most impoverished city? Hehe, I knew they wouldn't be so kind. ”
Lin Qingwan frowned and said, she should have known a long time ago that the five cities they ceded to them so quickly would definitely not be a good place to be rich.
But so what? When she was an agent, she ran several large listed companies, and no matter how poor a place was, she had a way to bring it back to life and become rich.
However, the top priority at the moment is to find Bai Luochen.
"Princess Qiqi, I don't think it's getting early, why don't we go back to the palace and rest for one night, and wait until tomorrow morning."
The scout looked at the dark sky and couldn't help but remind.
"Prince Rui's Mansion is still in Nanyuan Kingdom?!"
Lin Qingwan's eyes couldn't help but widen: "My family still has another courtyard here?" Why didn't I know? ”
"Princess Qiyu, Prince Rui's Mansion not only has other courtyards in the five major cities of Nanyuan Kingdom, but also has other courtyards in the major cities of the other four countries."
The scout looked at the princess's fuss and couldn't help but explain.
"Wow! I can't see that my husband is still so rich! Let's go to the other courtyard to rest first. ”
Lin Qingwan couldn't help but say.
……
The carriage bumped all the way for a long time, and finally came to the courtyard of Prince Rui's mansion.
A stone's throw away from the courtyard is the desert sea.
The sea here is very calm, with mountains on both sides plunging into the sea, hugging back and forth, isolating the wind and waves of the open sea.
The seaside is the largest trading port in Fengcheng - Yungang.
It is said that 10,000 years ago, the Tianxuan Emperor killed the Demon Lord here and founded the Tianxuan Continent.
At this moment, when the bright moon is in the sky, countless merchant ships are docked in Yungang, and thousands of masts are like dense forests, Lin Qingwan rode the sky-killing beast with red sleeves and flew to the harbor, "Red sleeves, let's enjoy the sea view here for a while." ”
The sea breeze is cool and blows a faint fishy smell, a view that cannot be seen in the New Moon Country.
"Miss, why don't we go back, you're tired all the way, and besides, it's even deeper, be careful of catching a cold!"
Red Sleeves put a cloak with white fluff on the red edge and said on Lin Qingwan's body.
Lin Qingwan stepped on the soft sand by the sea, the sound of the waves in her ears, and the starry light in the sky, she couldn't help but lose her mind for a while, how good it would be if Luo Chen was here.
However, as soon as she thought of this, Lin Qingwan suddenly clenched the Moon-Breaking Sword in her hand and said in a low voice: "Oops, something is wrong, we are in ambush, go and notify the scouts and escorts to come over."
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Redsleeves asked in confusion.
"There's a lot of footsteps coming towards us over there, you hurry up."
Lin Qingwan ordered in a low voice, pointing to the pier farthest away, where there was a black press with a weapon approaching them.
Red Sleeves was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, and she said in a trembling voice, "What should I do, Miss?" Shall we run back? It's too dangerous. ”
Lin Qingwan also gasped when she saw so many people approaching, "Red sleeves, come up, let's go back together." ”
The sound of those stumbling footsteps rushed towards them lightly and quickly.
The man in black who led the way found Lin Qingwan's figure and shouted, "Defend the trestle bridge for me!" Put down the sky net, catch turtles in the urn, and don't let me go. ”
As they spoke, a huge blue net hung above their heads, and the giant net glowed blue, forming a huge glass enchantment, enveloping everyone inside......
