Chen Guowei's territory flickered by, and the airship continued to move forward, and soon entered the Shaoshang Kingdom adjacent to Chen to the north.

And after about an hour, the realm of the chamber was already in sight.

Nanzhong Liwen looked at the sky, and said to Wang Yue: "I originally thought that it would only arrive in the evening, and I wanted to invite my son to be a guest at my house, but I didn't want to travel so quickly, and I wouldn't delay my son's time later, the airship can fly directly to Dongyi City, and I should immediately enter the palace to complete everything for my son." ”

"Then there's Lord Nam Chung. ”

Nanzhong Rewen nodded, went up to the airship master, and said to Dong Shi, "Do you see the river below? That's Liangshui, continue to swim upstream along him, and when you see a big city in the north, that is Dongyi." ”

Standing at the front of the airship in winter, looking down, the beam water below is like a jade belt winding in the earth, extremely conspicuous, knowing the sound of Nanzhong Liwen, he began to guide the serpentine warrior who piloted the airship, and transmitted the image of his eyes through the Internet to the rear so that he could know so that he could adjust the direction.

About halfway down in the sky, Wang Yue's airship finally appeared in the sky above Dongyi.

Nan Zhong Liwen looked down: "The post house is in the south of Dongyi City, so Gongzi will stop the airship directly." ”

Wang Yue smiled and said: "In the land of the Son of Heaven, there must still be a due gift, so we will go to the city gate first to ask the airship to put us down and then go to the pavilion, and we will walk into the city according to the etiquette." ”

Nan Zhong Liwen's face flushed when he heard this, as a spring official of Cheng's foreign affairs, he actually forgot this?

In this regard, he could only bow to Wang Yue, and repeatedly promised to do everything for Wang Yue.

So the airship turned to the north and slowly lowered its altitude, and the scene on the ground became larger and clearer.

The accompanying warriors on the airship listened to the fact that they were about to arrive at Dongyi, where the legendary Son of Heaven was, and they all stuck out their heads from the windows on both sides of the airship, and looked down and north with yearning and curiosity, in their imagination, they used to be the lord of a village and a town, and the lord was the doctor of a territory, living in the inner city of a huge city, the mansion was luxurious, the servants and maids did not know the geometry, and above the doctor, there was the king, who lived in the largest city of a country, enjoying the best palace, and the Son of Heaven was the lord of the princes, and lived in the city. The palace should be no worse than the monarch in any case, but when the airship made its way north along the deserted carriage and horse avenue to the south of Dongyi, it was almost taken aback.

In the distance, Dongyi City does not look much bigger than the big city of Cainan Jili, but it is like an abandoned earthen city, curled up on the land on the north bank of Liangshui, and the brick wall on the surface of the city wall has not been repaired for a long time, and its surface is full of countless weathered holes due to the perennial sun and rain, and unknown weeds and vines stretch out tenaciously from the cracks in the wall and the fine hollows.

On the top of the city wall, Zhang De rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and there were many trees growing out of the rammed earth between the inner and outer city walls... There are hardly many defenders on the entire city wall, only a few soldiers in shabby armor standing above the city gate, lazily leaning on the battlements, looking at the city with an expressionless face, and on the two-zhang high flagpole next to it, the big flag of the word "Cheng" is dirty and shabby like a rag, and I don't know how long it has been hanging, and the words have faded.

When they saw a relatively huge airship in the distance slowly coming along the carriage and horse avenue, these soldiers opened their mouths slightly, and then withdrew their gaze indifferently with that expression.

Outside the city, on the left and right sides of the carriage and horse avenue, in the fields, the yellow-faced and thin-skinned peasants worked in it carelessly, there were no cattle and horses beside the road, and most of the farm tools in their hands were stone shovels. Stone hoes and the like, heavy and difficult to use, difficult to open vegetable fields around the wheat field, some of them who have worked and are tired, just sit next to them, leaning weakly under the big tree to pick up the wooden bowl and drink a few sips of water, seeing such a strange thing as the airship passing by, they just drooped their eyelids, and returned to the ground, without half paying attention, as if the airship was every half a point of strangeness in their eyes, but Wang Yue saw that it was not, they might just feel that everything else in this world had nothing to do with them.

However, a group of children who did not know the sorrow of life, only three or four years old, happily chased under the airship, adding a little vitality to the outside of Dongyi City, without them, this old capital city in the world would have been as if it were dead.

There was obvious disappointment in the eyes of the samurai, and some people whispered that the current Jidi was much better than Dongyi.

In this regard, what else does Nan Zhong Reemun have but a sigh?

He had seen too many of these eyes in the eyes of the people who came to Dongyi for the first time, and those people, when they felt the power of the Son of Heaven that had collapsed and faded with the rites and music in the distant nations, I am afraid they would never have dreamed... What was once the center of the kingship in the world has been dilapidated to such a point.

Under the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city, like all the people living in Dongyi City and outside the city, lazily leaned against the city gate wall, waiting for a caravan that may not appear for ten days and a half months, when the airship suddenly fell in front of the gate from above, they had not yet woken up, and then there were some surprises, they did not understand, why did such an airship fall here when it could fly directly into the city?

Wang Yue straightened his clothes and got off the airship accompanied by Nanzhong Liwen, followed by six heavily armored samurai who followed suit.

When Nan Zhong Rewen explained to the guards of the city that there was a monarch who was about to succeed to the throne and came to meet the Son of Heaven, he called all the soldiers to look sideways.

They are accustomed to seeing merchants and envoys from various countries in Dongyi here, and they really can't imagine that there are still people in the world who give such treatment to Chengmu... Today's houses are even looked down upon by small merchants.

"Childe, the city gate order is not here, someone has been sent to call, I think we might as well enter the city first. ”

"It doesn't matter. Wang Yue waved his hand: "Since it has already come." ”

Nam Zhong Rewen knew what he meant, but he explained it again and again.

It wasn't until a long time later that the city gate order came.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city were very old, and the city gate commander was even older, looking like an old man in his sixties and seventies.

When he arrived at the city gate, he looked at Wang Yue, who was accompanied by Nanzhong Liwen, and the whole person was stunned.

He didn't seem to have thought that Wang Yue would be waiting here, so he was late, and when he came, he didn't know what was pouring out of his heart, maybe he was moved, maybe he was excited, his eyes and nose were sore, and he choked up, and then hurriedly came over and apologized to Nan Zhong Liwen and Wang Yue again and again.

Nan Zhong Liwen also spoke again and again, saying that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and the individuals who had been outside for many years who had been able to endure many bitter grievances had cried loudly at this time, and the city gate order could not be tightened, and suddenly the two of them cried together, and even the soldiers had red eyes and tears.

"It's really rude, Childe, please wait a moment, and our celebrant will be coming to greet you soon. ”

After a while, a group of people dressed in the robes of the chamber came out of the city quickly, the leader should be the chief priest of the chamber, about fifty years old, immediately walked to the city gate, put a few cases on the table, with trembling hands to hold the wine jue, held it in front of Wang Yue, bowed down and said: "I have not heard of the monarch for a long time, today is really rude, and I ask the son to forgive me, I would like to use this wine to make amends to the son, and also to wash the dust for the son." ”

"Where, where. Wang Yue took the water and wine, returned the salute first, sensed it naturally, and then drank it in one gulp: "This is really the abruptness of my coming today." ”

The old man took back the wine bottle, and several cases were taken down, and said: "The old man has arranged the pavilion post in the city, and it is quite late today, and the son wants to come and have a tiring journey, so please rest at the pavilion for one night, and the old man will arrange for the prince to meet tomorrow." ”

"Please. "Bow down with one hand.

"There's Lord Law, please. Wang Yue also said to himself, and then under the guidance of the old man into the city to the pavilion, Nan Zhong Liwen naturally accompanied, but was Zhang De to the side, handed him a heavy box, Nan Zhong Liwen took the box, came over and Wang Yue said a little bit, then left the team, I don't know where to find a broken car, quickly went to the direction of Miyagi, but it was resolute.
