Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sonorous Brotherhood (1)
On the second day after the secret talk, the four letters of state were carefully drawn up by the secretary's cabinet, stamped with the treasure seal of God's monarch, and carried by the envoys of the peerless martial arts, and were divided into four directions, riding the fastest and highest-grade birds, and the people and horses were one, day and night, galloping towards the four ancient dynasties.
The three Xuanyuan roads of Xuanyuan Station, water, land and air, are divided into four types according to their importance: super-grade lifeline, Grade A main road, Grade B main road, and Grade C branch road.
And from the divine capital to the four ancient imperial capitals, that is, the ancient Xia Nandu, the ancient Shang desert capital, the ancient Zhou Han capital, the ancient Qin Bai capital four places, is the only four four special lifelines, which means that even if Xuanyuan Yi gives up his life to ensure a smooth road section, not only water, land, and air are complete, but also almost a straight line, meet the mountains to open the mountain, meet the river to build a bridge.
The envoys who flew to the four directions traveled day and night with the national letter, and under the supply of Xuanyuan Post along the road, they changed horses and did not change people, and basically arrived at their destinations after ten days.
Two days later, from then on, a huge team of flying horses took off from each of the four capitals, and hundreds of giant birds covered the sky and the sun, and set off towards the gods.
Naturally, such a large team could no longer travel day and night like a messenger, and it took a total of twenty-five days for the Quartet to reach the Divine Capital.
Eventually, at dusk on the same day, the sky was shining, and they appeared together in the sight of the main square outside the south gate of the inner city of Shendu, and finally flew towards the main square.
The supreme of the Tianyuan Empire, Emperor Xuanyuan Qiming is rarely dressed in formal imperial costumes, sitting on the bright and yellow Luanyu, and it is even more rare that the queen Yao Wan'er is majestic in the phoenix crown, sitting beside him beautifully and dignifiedly, and attending with him on a formal occasion for the first time.
On both sides of the Luanyu, there are two Luanyu with exactly the same regulations as the two of them, and the five are waiting in a row, but the colors are different, blood red, pale blue, dark black, and snow white, which are distinguished from the bright yellow they ride.
After the five Luanyu, the honor guard of the five hundred Praetorian Guards wore bright yellow and bright armor, tall horses, handsome and handsome, and rode on top of the bright yellow divine horses with solemn expressions.
On both sides of them, there were thousands of horses with complete saddles and no one to ride, neatly lined up by the groom holding the reins, and the color of the groom's clothes and the color of the horse's fur were all blood red, pale blue, dark black, and snow white.
The flock of flying horses approaching from the four directions of the sky was like ant spots at first, and as they approached, thousands of giant birds volleyed into the air, gradually overwhelming the sky.
Today, the main square of the south gate is cleared, but there are more people of the Shendu on the periphery, as well as envoys from various countries and other people waiting to watch, as thousands of birds cover the sky, approaching from all directions, and an awe-inspiring aura is forcing the main square.
A low buzz sounded in the crowd of onlookers, as if they were amazed and impressed by this scene.
His Majesty the Emperor held the little hand of the Empress Niang, who was sitting beside him, and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, it is really hard for you to put aside the work of the school palace during this time and accompany your husband to manage state affairs." ”
The queen didn't appreciate it, slapped his hand away, and said: "Sit well, don't make small movements, don't mumble, isn't it a joke for people to see at this time!"
All right, sam.
His Majesty the Emperor sat up straight in an orderly manner, and said in his heart, you discipline me like this, in fact, it is also appropriate to remove the second word of this title.
As the riders got closer, everyone in the square could tell what was special in the center of each team.
The other flying horses are all one person and one ride, and in the center of each team in the sky, there are eight golden eagle giant birds located exactly at the eight points of a regular octagon, jointly carrying a special car closely connected to their backs, feeling that these golden eagles are the air sedan drivers.
In front of the eight sedan chairs in the air, there is also a rider who is playing a piccolo, but there is no sound coming out of the flute, which is controlling the flight rhythm and flight direction of the eight giant eagles with a silent sound wave.
The people of the gods who were watching were all amazed by it, and His Majesty the Emperor looked at this scene, but he had another emotion, it seems that the optimization and improvement of the flying riding breed has a long way to go.
If you can reach the point where you can carry dozens of people, or even carry a building, you can sit leisurely in it and play the piano, then it is barely enough style.
The four flying cavalry teams slowly descended and landed one after another, only the eight-lift sedan chair in the air guided by the rider stopped and landed not far in front of a row of waiting Luanyu.
"Alright, it's time for us to go down. The queen said.
She had already done her homework in advance, and she was already familiar with the reception process.
The two got off Luanyu hand in hand, standing not far in front of them and smiling to greet them, just like a young couple greeting their relatives from afar at the door of their homes.
It is also true that this time the greeting was a very special "family ceremony", and none of the important officials of the imperial court, including the prime minister, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, etc., showed up.
From the four sedan chairs, four pairs of men and women also came out hand in hand, some were older and some were not very old, but they all looked older than Emperor Xuanyuan Qiming.
They also joined hands with their respective husbands and wives, and took the initiative to walk to Xuanyuan Qiming and Yao Wan'er, who were waiting there, bowed slightly with respect in their closeness, and greeted in unison: "I've seen the eldest brother, I've seen the eldest sister-in-law." ”
Xuanyuan Qiming looked at it, one of them was enough to be his grandfather, and the other two were enough to be his father, but he approached, stretched out his hand, and hugged them affectionately one by one, and the queen mother also went to talk to a few "concubines" with a smile.
After hugging one by one, Brother Xuanyuan smiled and said, "Several brothers and sisters have traveled thousands of miles to the appointment, and the eldest brother is full of hospitality. You're all tired from the journey. Let's not talk about it here, let's go home first. ...... The dormitory has been cleaned up for you, so you can repair it for the night. ”
"Yes, everything is at the command of the eldest brother. The four "younger brothers" responded in unison.
Then, the five couples each boarded a luanyu, and Xuanyuan Qiming took the lead, and then followed in the order of south, east, north, and west, all the way along the imperial road towards the imperial city.
The attachés climbed on their horses and followed closely behind in that order.
The blood-red divine horse from the ancient Xia Dynasty followed closely behind the one-color bright yellow honor guard, followed by the ancient Shang Dynasty attaché riding the pale blue divine horse, then the ancient Zhou Dynasty attaché riding the dark black divine horse, and the ancient Qin Dynasty attaché riding the snow-white divine horse.
As early as the first time they landed, there were people from the Beast Zhai who took over their flying horses, and during this time, the professionals of the Beast Zhai would take good care of them.
Such a long procession, like a long dragon, represents their respective "national colors", but it truly creates a prosperous scene of flowers and splendor.
