Chapter Twenty-Nine—Overlooking the Royal City (Part II)

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, frolicked all the way, but they didn't notice that they were now being looked at by the people around them. Some of the people who were still happy to hang out had begun to speculate to themselves, guessing that these two people looked quite generous, and did not look like ordinary young people of seventeen or eighteen years old. If the people hadn't seen these two siblings frolicking here, they would probably have thought that these two siblings were not ordinary people. However, even so, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, still attracted the attention of hundreds of people on the street.

If it were a normal time, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, would only be very calm, at most they would say something to each other, and the two brothers and sisters would not be so playful. But one thing that the two brothers and sisters didn't care about so much actually helped them more or less at this time, so that they would not be paid too much attention by the people around them. It is precisely because of this that the two brothers and sisters came to the gate of the city gate in the north direction of Weicheng City without danger. Not far away, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, clearly saw that what appeared in front of them was not another existence, but the golden palace city that they had noticed in the city and appeared on the mountain in front of them, surrounded by clouds and mist. There, obviously, was the destination of their trip, the Imperial Palace.

The imperial palace of Hefeng State in Zhongcheng, and even the imperial palace in Xuancheng of Heqi State, the location of this imperial palace does not seem to be in Weicheng, but on the peak outside Weicheng City, on the side of the peak adjacent to the Panshui River. It seems that there is only the location of the royal palace that left the country.

Looking from here, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, could clearly see that there were basically a lot of guards at the north gate of Weicheng, and most of the guards here were guards wearing purple and gold armor. All of these things that happened were like being on the Demon Spirit Continent. Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, were already slightly puzzled in their hearts. If this is really the case, why is it that this Xuanling Continent, which is so imagined and has a similar name to the Demon Spirit Continent, why have they never heard of it, and there is no such story in the classics, books, and historical records?

However, now the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, don't care about these things, their main purpose now is to complete such a plan. So, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, pretended to be ordinary children who wanted to go out of the city to play, and walked out quickly from the side of the five guards guarding outside the north city gate.

The five guards did not stop them, and the main purpose was that although this northern gate was the place where it led to the palace, which symbolized supreme power, it was indeed the closest passage to the Panshui River. Moreover, there was a tight military garrison around the Imperial Palace, and it was absolutely impossible for a few young men to enter the palace. Therefore, when the ordinary people wanted to leave this place through this city gate, these guards would not stop them.

So, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, did not spend much trouble and came to the bottom of this mountain, of course, the road that followed up the mountain, the two brothers and sisters already knew in their hearts, this must be a dangerous and abnormal path. As the most important existence of the Imperial Palace, there must be a lot of guards around.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, took out their most important thing from themselves, that is, the soul that the two of them hadn't used for a while, and the Wind Feather Fan and the Meteor Wheel were already in their hands. Although the two siblings were not particularly willing to have this kind of unnecessary trouble. But if things really reach the point of no return, they can only rely on these two souls to assist them, at least to ensure the safety of their lives.

Now, there is only one way up the mountain, and it seems that there is only one way up the mountain. Now, the two siblings are only left with this last road, although there is still plenty of time, but there are not many opportunities, who knows what kind of obstacles they will encounter on this road?

However, it was impossible to think about these anymore, and after making all preparations for a short time, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, embarked on this path that was likely to be regarded as a point of no return for them.

Among them, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, held one hand tightly with each other from beginning to end, and their fingers were interlocked. On the other hand, the soul clasp of the two siblings was clenched in the cuff. Feng Shanshan was dressed in a scholarly shirt, the cuffs were not as wide as the cuffs of the long skirt she was wearing before, but they were enough to accommodate Feng Shanshan's three meteor wheels, allowing her to hide herself, pretending to be like a white-faced scholar who was powerless. From the outside, no matter how you look at it, Feng Shanshan doesn't look like the kind of existence that might kill someone else if she makes a move right away. But if anyone underestimated Feng Shanshan for such a reason, these three meteor wheels held in their hands were enough to make any unsuspecting person lose their lives at any time.

It's just that at this time, the two brothers and sisters are not completely sure to deal with these guards, who are basically completely unfamiliar to them. So, in this regard, the two brothers and sisters are still very cautious, they are still watching the surrounding situation along the way, and the more they go up, their hearts begin to jump suddenly, for fear of encountering something too risky, they are even afraid that there are people at the gate of the north city of Weicheng, which is not too far away, and they are watching every move of their two brothers and sisters.

It was precisely because of such a fear that the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, involuntarily quickened their pace, moving forward as if they were usually using light power to move forward at great speed. In a short time, the two siblings were above this secluded and uninhabited mountain range, and saw the one that appeared not far in front of them, resplendent and splendid, like a red golden phoenix soaring in front of them. Imprinted with the light of the afternoon, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, couldn't help but sigh at this scene. This is indeed a place of prosperity for all eternity.

This palace, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power of the country, is located on such a mountain peak outside Weicheng City, which is not too high, for ordinary people, this palace is a legendary forbidden place, and even for some ordinary officials, entering this palace is also considered a blessing.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, probably have guessed the inside story of this palace, because no matter how big this palace is, it cannot be compared to the entire Weicheng City that is functioning normally. In this way, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor and his concubine, plus some eunuchs and maids, most of the members of the Chen family who can live in this palace can live here. The normal operation of the court should also be in Weicheng City, and most of the important officials who have left the country, including the court and the officials of the six departments, are in Weicheng for their daily normal work. Even, the mansions of these officials must also be in Weicheng.

It was precisely because they figured out this joint that Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, dared to come here to look for the departed emperor, the main reason was because they guessed that there should not be many people around His Majesty the emperor. At least at this time, they still have a slight chance, maybe they can meet His Majesty the Emperor who has left the country, and this is the ultimate purpose of their coming here.

In a short time, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, had bypassed the last section of the mountain range and came to the crimson gate of the palace in front of them, and sure enough, there were at least a dozen guards patrolling around the gate of the city wearing purple and gold armor and holding a long lance in their hands. These more than ten guards looked quite young from the outside, but their majestic appearance was directly displayed in front of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters. The two siblings immediately turned around and dodged behind a small tree not far behind them, ready to talk about the current situation.

After a while, Feng Shanshan, who was quietly waiting under this small tree not far away to observe the situation, suddenly exclaimed slightly, "Brother, look, the hair behind this guard doesn't seem to be an ordinary man's short hair, it seems to be like our girls' long hair."

Originally, Feng Yuchong was still thinking about other questions, such as how to enter this palace, such as where there was a place on the surrounding palace walls that allowed them to enter. But after hearing the words of his sister Feng Shanshan beside him, Feng Yuchong's distracted attention returned to his sister's side again. As Feng Shanshan said it, when he looked at the past, Feng Yuchong also saw the surprising scene in front of him.

Although these more than ten guards looked very heroic and full of deep vitality from the outside, they could not hide it, and if they looked carefully, the rare whiteness and elegance on the faces of these more than ten guards made Feng Yuchong's expression change slightly. In particular, the long black hair that emerged from under the silver-white helmet still explained their identities in disguise, and they were indeed not ordinary guards.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, glanced at each other, their faces showed extremely surprised looks, Feng Shanshan suddenly clenched the arm of her brother Feng Yuchong in front of her, and smiled a little helplessly, "Most of these guards are not the same as the guards on our Demon Spirit Continent, they are obviously female soldiers."
