Chapter 980: Greeting
Nine days later, above the south gate of the splendid imperial city, an old man in a gray robe stood in the wind, he looked into the distance, the wind blew the robe on his body, and the whole person looked like a Taoist immortal standing in the wind, revealing a sense of refinement of the fairy wind!
"Where is the saint?" The old man was naturally a puppet saint who had half a foot in the holy level, his old eyes looked at the south for a long time, but there was a hint of anxiety between his gray eyebrows.
The sergeant bowed slightly behind the puppet saint, knelt down and said, "Back to the puppet saint, the saint has already arrived in the Central Region yesterday, and according to the calculation of the route, he should arrive in the imperial city after noon tomorrow!"
"Good!" the puppet nodded slightly.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Dou Kang, the general of Vayuan, appeared behind the puppet saint, he bowed slightly, and said, "Puppet elder, you called me?"
The puppet saint slowly turned around, looked at Dou Kang, and said: "General Dou, the saint is about to return to the court, and I invite you to go out of the city to meet you tomorrow, and the matter of General Wei, I'm afraid the saint will have to deal with it personally!"
Dou Kang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Yes, the last general will take the order!"
The puppet saint stepped forward to help Dou Kang up, but his face was a little awe-inspiring, and said: "General Wei's suffering this time is full of weirdness before and after, the old man can always smell a smell of danger from this, it seems that there is a huge force that is spying on us in the dark, we can't take it lightly!"
Dou Kang nodded approvingly
The next day, the hour.
Dan Xuan and the others are walking on the official road not far from the Splendid Imperial City, in the past ten days, they have been going all the way to the north, avoiding many possible dangerous roads, and picking hidden roads to travel, in fact, Dan Xuan is still afraid that there will be interceptions and killings on the road like before! Although he is not afraid, it is better to be careful!
However, fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and he was about to arrive at the Splendid Imperial City, but Dan Xuan's heart did not let go.
In front of the carriage, Dan Xuan rode on the back of a horse, looking up at the hill in the distance, but along the way, he had been thinking about a question in his heart, who was going to deal with him in the dark! What did the masked young man mean by what he said, why did he die, who would kill him?
Could it really be the Demon Domain? Dan Xuan's eyes narrowed and tightened, he knew that the Demon Domain was terrifying, and the strength there was unimaginable to the world, if it was really the Demon Domain that wanted to deal with him, then it might really be as the masked young man said, and he would definitely die!
Gong Xuechen glanced at his master, and saw that he was still worried, so he asked out loud: "Son, you have already arrived in the imperial city, are you still worried about anything?"
Dan Xuan exhaled heavily, but he just shook his head, silent, he looked at the hill in the distance, he knew that beyond that hill, he could see the splendid imperial city!
However, at this moment, the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the other side of the hill, as if an army was lying in ambush behind the hill.
"Childe......" Gong Xuechen looked anxious, and just wanted to speak, but Dan Xuan stretched out his hand to stop his words, the young man grabbed the reins suddenly, and looked at the hill in front of him, but he was a little uncertain in his heart, did these people really dare to ambush themselves at their own doorstep?
Just when Dan Xuan was thinking like this, a huge military flag suddenly appeared on the hill line in front of him, and on top of the military flag was a golden word "Dou".
"It's General Dou!" Gong Xuechen looked happy.
As Gong Xuechen's voice fell, on the hill line in the distance, under the banner, Dou Kang, who was in the lead, stroked the reins in his hand, and slowly appeared, he looked at the hill, and saw that in front of the carriage under the hill, the young man standing upright on horseback was not the emperor of the dynasty!
Dou Kang was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a gesture towards the cavalry behind him, and the march immediately accelerated!
After a long time, Dou Kang grabbed the reins suddenly, quickly turned over and dismounted, ran to Danxuan's horse in two steps, knelt on one knee, and said, "The last general Dou Kang, knock on the saint!"
Dan Xuan also hurriedly dismounted, and stepped forward to help Dou Kang up, you must know that Dou Kang is his father-in-law, how can his son-in-law let his father-in-law kneel.
"General Dou, please get up, I'll be relieved to see you!" Dan Xuan's face regained a kind of imperial majesty.
Dou Kang was held up by him, looking at the young emperor in front of him, but he suddenly had a feeling of sudden dream, and now the calm temperament of this young man has become more and more like an emperor who rules the world, and the murderous aura and majesty revealed between his gestures make people feel like they want to surrender from the bottom of their hearts!
"Holy Lord, you're finally back!" Dou Kang looked a little excited.
Dan Xuan bowed slightly, his gaze crossed him, and he looked at the thousands of cavalry standing neatly behind Dou Kang, all of them neat and murderous!
"Let's go back to the city immediately!"
Turning over again, under the elite arch guard of thousands of cavalry, he quickly headed in the direction of the splendid imperial city.
Inside the carriage, Qian Jingyi put down the carriage curtain, withdrew her gaze from Dou Kang, and exclaimed: "This general is so strong, is he General Dou Kang?"
Ji Ling nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is General Dou Kang, when Nanbeichuan was not yet unified, this general was already famous, he once made a thousand contributions to the Nanchuan Continent! Moreover, his daughter and I used to be the best sisters, but I don't know now, is she still angry with me......
Speaking of this, Ji Ling's expression darkened, and she inevitably remembered the most wrong thing she had ever done in her life, fortunately, she already knew repentance, and the person she loved was not a narrow-minded person, so the current situation was still much better than she expected!
Qian Jingyi held Ji Ling's jade hand and comforted: "Sister, you don't have to be like this, I believe that since he has forgiven you, that Sister Dou will never be angry with you again, after all, we will all live under the same roof in the future, how can the relationship be too stiff?"
When Qian Jingyi said this, Ji Ling's face suddenly flushed, but she didn't refute it, as if she acquiesced.
However, Qian Jingyi still said on the side: "Han Yao is very easy to get along with, but I don't know if that Sister Dou gets along well, but since it is the person he chooses, he must be a very good person, just like you, sister!
Ji Ling smiled and held Qian Jingyi's hands, and said with a smile: "Sister Jingyi, don't think too much, in short, you will definitely get your wish!"
At the front of the team, Dou Kang was half a horse behind Dan Xuan and followed on the right side.
Dan Xuan looked at the tall city in front of him, and asked loudly: "General Dou, can you tell me more about General Wei's affairs, what is the reason?"
"Yes!" Dou Kang shook the reins, and the horse moved forward slightly, "Your Excellency, in fact, this matter is because of a new gold mine in the Taonan region!"
"Gold mine?" Dan Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, but he was really a little surprised.
