The Kyoshi who sang and danced to the level may not have known the news of the fall of the Great Wall.

There was no smoke to be seen, no news was heard about the Great Wall, and the avalanche ended everything there in an instant.

Yanshuang Town, as if it was suddenly erased and forgotten. All people think of is peace.

Probably because of the Shang Ming Festival, the Thai Royal Street at night is covered with bright red lanterns, reflecting the commercial street along the river as if it were daytime.

The night market is full of people, and the sound of food stalls and the sound of silk and bamboo in the music shop are mixed together, forming a cheesy and elegant symphony.

There is no sense of crisis at all.

The nobles dressed in brocade clothes walked together, fanning the folding fans, and glancing at the handsome girls who went to the lantern festival.

Liu Zijin, a scholar from the West Pavilion who had been busy for almost a year before returning from the West, sat comfortably on a building boat, watching the men and women laughing and scolding, and he couldn't help but smile.

There was a bright lantern floating on the water beside him, and looking at the scene in front of him, his boat seemed to be sailing on the bright heavenly river.

Compared with the Western Mo Ye and Vientiane, which are all over the dense forests and swamps, the Eastern Emperor of the Ancient Kingdom is really like a paradise on earth, and he is unwilling to go to the West anymore.

"How is it, Lord Lillet, welcome to the Eastern Emperor Divine State, how do you feel compared to your Varatin (the Eastern name for the Varantine Empire)?"

Liu Zijin stretched his arms lazily and yawned.

The wide sleeves slipped down, revealing his white and tender arms, but there were a few scars on them, and needless to say, he must have suffered a lot on the way to the West.

Standing beside him was a foreign knight with blond hair, with some cheeks on his face, a unicorn tattoo on his neck, and a gloomy and cold aura all over his body.

He gave a perfunctory "um", but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and he didn't want to appreciate the beautiful scenery no matter how much he wanted.

Lillette was met by Liu Zijin in the court of Vientiane.

At that time, he was also shouldering the mission of Emperor Varantin, leading the delegation to the Eastern Emperor Shenzhou, and happened to meet Liu Zijin's fleet, so the envoys of the two countries traveled together.

"I said Mr. Li......"

"My surname is Glendale. ”

Liu Zijin laughed and changed his words: "Mr. Grandall, you said that your king ordered you to hunt down a fugitive from the west to the east, what crime did that guy commit that need you to go to such great lengths?"

"Blasphemy, preaching heresy. Lilllet's answer was crisp.

Liu Zijin couldn't help but be stunned, so he could be hunted down to the ends of the earth? In his opinion, as long as it is not a rebellion or bullying, it doesn't seem too much to blaspheme the immortals......

"And murder. Lilllet added.

Liu Zijin shook his head and said confidently: "With all due respect, such a prisoner is too ordinary. In our country, as long as the people of Dali Temple come out, they will soon arrest the criminals for you. ”

As if he didn't appreciate it, Lillette put his hand on the ship's armrest, "Oh, thank you then." ”

The ship docked on the shore, and the guards of the Imperial Front Division of the Kyoto Camp who got the news had been waiting there for a long time.

Lillette carefully looked at the guards of the Beijing camp: their steel armor was covered with vermilion cotton armor, and they were either armed with glaive knives, or spears in their arms, and they wore Tang knives at their waists.

Everyone's eyes were serious, and their bodies were tense, so majestic. In terms of momentum, they are not inferior to the best knights of Valantine.

At this time, an old man dressed as an official bowed his hand under the boat, he seemed to be from the Ministry of Rites, "Lord Liu, the old man of Yan Shoufu has been waiting here for a long time. ”

Liu Zijin stepped forward with a smile and returned the salute, "It's hard work, hard work! Oh, it's better to go home, everyone is so kind!"

This guy looks like he's missing a lot of brains, Lillet thought.

The people around them were watching them curiously. Although it was not uncommon to see white-skinned foreigners in Kyoshi, it was the first time they had seen knights from Valantin.

Lillette and the dozen or so knights who accompanied him were dressed in simple hard leather armor and carried silver swords and shields on their backs, and their attire was too strange for the people of the Imperial Land.

"Who are these people?" the old official couldn't help but ask.

"Gentile friends from Waratin who have come to see His Majesty on the mission of King Waratin. Liu Zijin also winked at Lillette when he spoke, making the latter uncomfortable, "I heard that on the way, they were also stolen by traitors, and they didn't even have the entanglement to return to China......"

"I see, the old man has lost his welcome. ”

#

Lillette and the others followed the guards of the capital camp to the Ouchi Imperial Palace.

Along the way, a large number of infantry or cavalry from the Beijing camp guarded the royal road along the way, and Lillette carefully recorded everything he saw in his mind.

First of all, the sword squad and horse soldiers outside the Ouchi are straight, and after entering the palace wall, the guards are the forbidden army of the front division of the palace. The Emperor's own soldiers are called the Shadow Knife Guards, and they are a group of emotionless killing machines.

There is a sense of oriental ritual everywhere.

It seems that in the event of war, the military power of this country will inevitably surpass that of Valantine.

Lillette saw that the Ouchi Imperial Palace was built in extraordinary grandeur, with the central building standing like a castle rising from the ground, several covered bridges connecting the two pavilions on the left and right, and the pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the cornices cascading on top of each other......

He couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, and even the imperial road under his feet was carved with patterns of all kinds of birds, beasts, dragons and phoenixes.

Such a country can indeed be called great, if it has to be said, I am afraid that only the once glorious Rosslik Empire can be compared with the Eastern Empire.

But now, like a weakened eagle, Roslick has been frantically bitten by the barbarians, and he has lost even the strength to fly.

"It's impressive. Lillet said. And the exotic girls of the court, well, very, impressive, he muttered.

The forbidden army guarding the stairs in front of the palace suddenly said, "Please unload your weapons and enter the palace!"

Lillette glanced left and right, then opened his arms and smiled at the Praetorian soldiers on the stairs.

"Take care of me, these are first-class swords. ”

Ha, their faces were gloomy, and Lillette laughed inwardly.

It wasn't until he met the emperor of the empire that his pride vanished.

When Liu Zijin saw the emperor, he immediately bowed, and the others did the same, only Lillet stood in the middle like a pole.

The latter looked at them blankly, and then a guard of the Imperial Front Division who was guarding the gate of the palace suddenly scolded sharply: "Bold barbarian, I don't kneel when I see the emperor!"

"Kneel?" Lillette noticed that Liu Zijin beside him kept glaring at him nervously.

"Understood. ”

I saw him kneeling down on his right knee and half-bent left leg, making a most respectful knightly salute, and said with confidence: "Viscount of the Valantin Empire, Lord of Saint-Saidotle and Unkel Castle, Sir Lillette Grandall from Holy Helmet Castle has a mission to see His Majesty the Emperor with the mission of Emperor Promen VI. ”

At this time, everyone in front of the dragon chair turned pale, and some officials whispered, saying that this Waratin barbarian was too rude, and he would definitely be blasted out by the emperor. And Liu Zijin was even more cold in a cold sweat.

Lillette couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at the fuss of these officials, and glanced up slightly at the emperor on the dragon chair.

The monarch of the Eastern Empire was an old man in his twilight years, with eyes as muddy as an old dragon but with hidden power.

His golden robe is embroidered with a strange dragon in front of it......

Lillright wasn't sure if it was a dragon, as the dragon's body was winding like a python, very different from the winged dragon he had seen in the artwork of the Genesis Sacred Book.

After that, the sun above the dragon's head, to be precise, a nine-tailed divine bird that radiates red gold.

At this time, the old emperor's fingers trembled slightly, and he raised his hand with difficulty, his arm stiff as if he was carrying a weighing weight of a thousand catties.

Unexpectedly, the officials thought that the emperor would be furious, but they didn't know that he just said: "Excuse me." ”

Liu Zijin finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and whispered in Lillet's ear: "Don't do this next time." ”

The officials muttered to each other, it is estimated that the emperor is in a good mood today, and he is not angry in the face of such a rude barbarian.

"Tell us why you're here. The old emperor opened his mouth and went straight to the topic like a sharp sword.

Interestingly, the corners of Lillet's mouth inadvertently hooked.

"At the request of the Pope and my Emperor," he said in a foreign accent, "I have the honour to go to your country to hunt down a heretic who has committed a grave crime. ”

"The Pope?"

"It's their character who is similar to the sect leader, but with a higher status, equivalent to their emperor. Liu Zijin immediately explained.

The old emperor nodded, his eyes widening slightly, "Two emperors?"

"The emperor is the earthly monarch, and the pope is the leader of the spiritual world, the spokesman of the creator God on earth. Lillet said patiently.

The old emperor seemed to be interested, "Is it a caliph similar to that of the Sharossans (the Eastern name for the Sals dynasty and the Sharon Empire, the Easterners can't tell the difference between the two countries, and there is no caliph in the Sharon kingdom)?"

"Your Majesty means the Sals, yes, it's similar. ”

The old emperor really looked like a sleeping dragon, and even when he was sitting, he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

He asked again: "I can consider asking the people of Dali Temple to help you, so what serious crime has this person committed?"

"The devil nailed a one-eyed mask with a pointed cone to the face of a cardinal. Lillette's voice was slightly out of tune, as if he was outraged by the heinous crime, "the sharp cone pierced through the eyes and skull on the spot, and * splashed ......"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and in an uproar. But the crueler ones are still to come, and Lillette is still listing them one by one.

"When he was tried by the Inquisition, this man absconded after murdering three priests by witchcraft. We later sent witchers to hunt them down, but as a result, we found their bodies at the border, their entire faces torn apart, and an eye pattern cut out with a knife......"

The crimes were almost impossible to count, and before they could finish speaking, some ministers were already disgusted and told him to stop and stop talking.

Liu Zijin never expected that the murder he said before would be such a cruel method, just like those tortures in ancient times, which made people smell and change.

If there really is such a person who absconds to the imperial land, then it will be a disaster for the people of the world!

But there was no trace of waves on the old emperor's face, "So, who is this person?"

Lillette bowed her head and replied, "A witch." ”
