Chapter 168: The Palace of the Northern Wilderness

The sun is shining, and it is rare to have such good weather in the Northern Wilderness.

Xiao He and the three of them have already walked to the western inland of the Northern Wilderness for half a day, and with their current cultivation, they can almost travel three thousand miles in half a day.

"Long'er, your eldest brother's fiefdom didn't expect it to be so vast..."Xiao He looked at the endless wilderness in front of him and said sincerely.

Long Er sighed, "Vast is vast, but you have also seen it, how many towns have you seen along the way, not to mention towns, there are not even many villages..."

Xiao He and Luo Fanchen have lived so much, and they have never seen a more desolate place than here, maybe the desert in the northwest can be compared to it.

"What is the emperor's heart for sealing your eldest brother here? Your eldest brother was originally the prince of the Dragon Clan, why should he accept such a barren fief with peace of mind?"

Xiao He couldn't help but throw out questions, Luo Fanchen obviously had the same doubts, so they all looked at Long Er.

"In the great war thousands of years ago, my dragon clan showed extraordinary combat effectiveness, and the Ji clan was obviously afraid of this, so he ordered my eldest brother to be named the king of the Northern Wilderness and garrisoned in the Northern Wilderness... If my eldest brother doesn't agree, it will obviously give the Ji clan an excellent reason to eradicate the power of the dragon clan..."

Long Er said slowly, but obviously unwilling to explain that history in detail, it was a painful memory for her.

Her eight elder brothers all died in this battle, and the only surviving eldest brother was sealed in such a desolate place, and the Ji clan was quite jealous of the dragon clan.

When Luo Fanchen heard Long Er say this, he suddenly became a little suspicious of Jair, this Jairus has been suppressed by the Ji family for thousands of years, will he be dissatisfied?

This Demon Crystal incident, if it has anything to do with him, the dragon clan is afraid that it will be in a situation from which it will never recover.

"Fanchen, that Ji clan has been ruling Kyushu since 10,000 years ago, and until now they still hold the treasures of the human race firmly in their arms, their power and scheming skills are really incomparable..."Xiao He couldn't help but sigh.

"The Ji clan is indeed amazing, they are the pinnacle of power in Kyushu... However, in the last thousand years, due to the gradual strengthening of the major monastic sects, they have also declined... Forget it, let's not talk about this, the important thing now is to meet Long'er's eldest brother and ask this matter clearly..."

Luo Fanchen obviously knew the priorities, and as soon as she said this, the pace of several people couldn't help but speed up.

... .... ....

The palace of the Northern Wilderness is magnificent, and the outer city wall is more than ten zhang high, and there is a moat flowing slowly under the city wall.

The guards of the palace stood on top of the tower in high spirits, looking down on the surroundings of the palace.

A sharp-eyed guard saw from a distance that not far from the palace three men were slowly approaching this direction, so he informed his chief of the city:

"Report! Three suspicious people have been spotted walking this way..."

After the governor of the city confirmed, he nodded and signaled to his subordinates:

"These three people are vigorous and vigorous, they must be people who practice martial arts, and they will let the sharpshooters lock them up and follow my orders..."

The prefect of the city guard looked at these three people coldly, as the first line of defense of this royal city, he could not be careless.

These three people are obviously Xiao He, Luo Fanchen and Long Er. At this time, they walked towards this royal city, because there was Long'er, the sister of the king, and they were also fearless.

As soon as the three of them reached the edge of the moat, they heard the chief of the city shouting:

"Who is in the city?

Hearing this, Long Er stood up, raised his head and responded:

"I'm your king's sister, open the city gate quickly, I'm looking for my brother to have something to do!"

When the prefect of the city guard heard this girl's wild words, he pretended to be the lord's sister, and immediately became angry:

"Presumptuous! I've never heard of my lord's sister... If you dare to pretend, it's a capital offense!"

Long Er's eyes widened, she didn't expect that this city guard would have eyes that didn't know Mount Tai, so she couldn't help but stretch out her finger and point at him and scolded:

"This girl is your lord's sister, and when I came a hundred years ago, you didn't know where you were....!

Several marksmen were already in place at this time, and when they heard the little girl under the city gate, they all locked on to her.

"Sir, do you want to release the arrows?"

One of the marksmen had already drawn the arrow and asked the commander at the same time.

Originally, this chief wanted to give these people a dismount, but seeing that they still looked unhurried, especially the little girl, she was even more ashamed, saying that she had come here a hundred years ago, isn't this talking nonsense with her eyes open?

He wanted to teach a lesson to a few people in the city, but then he thought about it, didn't their lord also live thousands of years old, and he still looked young? This girl is so bold that if she doesn't take them seriously, she can't really be the lord's own sister, right?

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to stop the marksman, and at the same time whispered to a whistle next to him:

"Go to the palace and tell the lord that there are three suspicious men at the city gate who say they want to see him, and among them there is a girl who claims to be the lord's own sister... Remember the attire of these people, and report them in detail..."

The whistle answered, and he rushed out.

And the three people under the city, seeing that there was no movement on the city tower for a long time, they also negotiated very well.

"Long'er, don't scare them, you have the audacity to say that you are their king's own sister, it's strange if people aren't angry..."Xiao He quipped, and at the same time looked at Long'er with interest.

"Hmph, it's really blind to their dog eyes, this girl can't wait to blast them into the sky with one palm..."

Luo Fanchen was very calm at this time, she could see the movements of the city guard from a distance, and knew that he must have sent someone to confirm the identities of several people.

After a while, the whistle was out of breath, and crawled back to the tower, and came to the chief, and whispered a few words in his ear.

As he listened, the chief widened his eyes and looked at the few people in the city, he nodded, and then ordered his subordinates:

"Quickly open the gates of the city and welcome your guests..."

The guards in charge of the city gate pulled down the mechanism, and the huge city gate was pulled by the chain chain, and slowly descended in front of Xiao He and the others, just across the moat.

Long Er gave Xiao He and Luo Fanchen a look, "Let's go quickly?"

Xiao He and Luo Fanchen glanced at each other, nodded, and followed Long Er to the bridge built by the city gate.

After crossing the moat and walking under the thick walls, two rows of samurai watched them with respectful and fearful expressions.

After entering this royal city, Xiao He and Luo Fanchen felt the majesty and jaw-dropping grandeur of this royal city.

Countless stone towers stand and look down on them, giving people the feeling of being small. The road under his feet is smooth and tidy, and there is no problem at all for a dozen carriages to walk at the same time.

"Don't look at this royal city is so huge, but there are not many residents, most of them are my eldest brother's former subordinates and troops..."

Long Er walked in front and introduced some information about Wang Cheng to Xiao He and Luo Fanchen.

"If you follow the main road, you will reach the palace... Look, the spire building in front of you, that's it..."

Xiao He followed Long'er's finger and saw a huge palace towering into the sky shining in the distance.

"It's so high... Does your eldest brother like this?" Xiao He couldn't help but sigh.
