Chapter 11 Arrival in Hanhai
Luohe City is still some distance from Hanhai, even if it is fast, it will take six or seven days to travel, so after Ye Chen came out of the Ye family hall, he returned to his residence and simply packed up and went on the road.
Although his status has been greatly improved in the family, this time he went to Hanhai to get married, the Ye family did not arrange any manpower for him, and Ye Chen did not care at all, he was happy and quiet.
And with his current cultivation realm, he had long realized that this trip to Hanhai would definitely not be as simple as it seemed, and the ups and downs in it would not be known until he arrived in Hanhai.
Because there is plenty of time, Ye Chen is not in a hurry, he has been watching the flowers along the way, this is the first time he has left Luohe City, so he naturally wants to take a good look at this world, fortunately, although the road is far away, no dangerous things have happened.
On the contrary, along the way, Ye Chen saw all kinds of things, life, birth, old age, sickness and death, which made his heart more firm, cleansed his soul, and had a higher level of understanding of martial arts.
"This is Hanhai. ”
There was only one day left before the wedding date, Ye Chen came to Hanhai slowly, standing under the ancient city wall, Ye Chen's heart was full of shock.
The city wall is about six zhang high, just like a giant with open arms, giving people a sense of psychological oppression, and the surface of the city wall is full of traces of swords, which are full of traces, showing that there have been countless tragic battles here, and Ye Chen can even feel the magnificent aura coming from the city wall.
"The protective barrier of Hanhai has protected Hanhai for nearly 300 years. The corners of his mouth curled, Ye Chen thought of the introduction of the city wall of Hanhai in the book, and his eyes also returned to clarity.
Without thinking about it anymore, Ye Chen walked in with the flow of people, because Hanhai belonged to a sea city, so there was a faint smell of the sea in the air, it seemed that even the wind was salty, which Ye Chen had never felt before, everything was full of freshness.
"You are Ye Chen, the young master of the Ye family, right?"
As soon as Ye Chen stepped into the city, he was stopped by a tall man.
Frowning slightly, Ye Chen took a step back without a trace, he didn't know the man in front of him at all, but the other party could recognize him at a glance, which also made him suspicious and vigilant at the same time.
"That's right, I don't know who you are?" nodded, Ye Chen did not deny it, with his observation, this man's strength was about eight levels of forging body, which was comparable to Ye Tianfeng's strength at the beginning, and it was not enough to pose a threat to him.
"I am from the Hanhai Palace, and it was the Hanhai King who asked me to pick you up. The man said expressionlessly, and his voice was cold.
Hanhai King?
Ye Chen was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that he had just arrived in Hanhai, and the Hanhai King already knew about it, and this strength of Tongtian undoubtedly shocked him fiercely.
"In that case, then thank you Hanhai King. Retracting his thoughts, Ye Chen bowed slightly and thanked him, showing enough cultivation and politeness.
"Let's go. ”
The man ignored it, his head was high, and with a cold snort, he turned around and walked forward, seemingly not taking this future Hanhai Wangfu aunt in his eyes.
As soon as the sword eyebrows twisted, Ye Chen obviously felt that something was wrong, but he didn't speak, and followed behind the man.
The two didn't talk much along the way, but what made Ye Chen a little strange was that the man didn't lead him to the Hanhai Palace, but came to a remote courtyard.
The courtyard is very dilapidated, at first glance it looks like it is uninhabited all year round, overgrown with weeds, cobwebs everywhere, and there is a peculiar smell in the air.
"Here?" Ye Chen vaguely felt something, but his expression was still not impatient.
The man glanced back at the answer, and did not rush to answer, but pushed open the crumbling wooden door, "According to the regulations, Young Master Ye, you have not yet become my aunt of the Hanhai Palace, so you can't step into the Hanhai Palace, you can only be wronged to stay here for one night, and tomorrow there will naturally be a welcoming team to pick you up." ”
Although the man used the word "grievance", anyone could hear the mockery in his words.
A wave of anger rushed up from Ye Chen's lower abdomen, his fists clenched tightly, he didn't know if this was the meaning of the Hanhai King, but even if he couldn't enter the Hanhai King's Mansion for the time being because of the regulations, couldn't he just arrange a hotel to stay in?
Although this courtyard looks quite large, there is not even a place to sit, and the entire eaves of the only house have been lifted, and I am afraid that if I look up at night, I will be able to see the stars and moons.
In a place like this, I'm afraid even beggars can't look down on it!
However, the Hanhai King actually arranged for Ye Chen, the future Hanhai King's aunt, to stay here for one night, which was simply a kind of play for him, a kind of trampling on his dignity!
Looking at the mockery on the face of the man in front of him, Ye Chen took a deep breath, and only then did he suppress the anger in his heart, he now wanted to know more and more what the Hanhai King wanted to do.
"Thank you, King Hanhai. Although he was unhappy in his heart, Ye Chen still didn't show it.
"Waste. ”
sneered in a low voice, and the disdain in Xiao Yun's eyes became even stronger.
In fact, he did this because Xiao Jingyao arranged it, which was very different from what King Hanhai explained, and he was a little worried that King Hanhai would blame him when he found out, but when he saw the young man's performance, he was relieved, and he didn't know what the prince thought, he would marry the young lady to this kind of bastard.
However, what Xiao Yun didn't notice was that the moment Ye Chen lowered his head, a cold chill flashed in his eyes, although Xiao Yun's voice was very low just now, but since he cultivated the Dragon Returning Technique, Ye Chen's senses had already been greatly enhanced, and he could hear any wind and grass within a radius of 100 meters, not to mention that the two of them were only one meter away just now.
"Then you can rest here, and if nothing happens, don't wander around this day. ”
Xiao Yun said something threatening again, and then turned around and prepared to leave.
Ye Chen answered, there was no obstruction, in the Ye family for more than ten years, he didn't learn much else, the only thing he learned was to know how to forbear!
In this world of the weak and the strong, there are two ways to survive, one is strong strength, and the other is forbearance.
Now that his strength is not enough, he can only endure the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
It's not that Ye Chen is afraid of this Xiao Yun, it's just that Xiao Yun now represents the King of Hanhai, and the King of Hanhai is not something he can provoke now.
"Stinky beggar, this is not the place for you to stay, hurry up!"
Just when Ye Chen was thinking about how to spend a day in this dilapidated courtyard, there was a sudden sound of scolding outside, the voice was a little familiar, it was Xiao Yun who had just walked out.
As soon as his heart moved, Ye Chen walked out, and when he entered his eyes, he saw Xiao Yun pushing a little beggar about ** years old to the ground, the little beggar was unkempt, ragged, and typical of nutritional deficiencies, although he was pushed to the ground, he didn't cry, his little face was full of stubbornness, and his big eyes stared at each other vigorously.
"The eyes are pretty nice. ”
Xiao Yun first praised a sentence, and then changed his words, and said viciously, "But believe it or not, I will gouge out your eyeballs!"
After all, he was still young, and a look of fear appeared on the little beggar's face, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Haha, what a rubbish. Xiao Yun seemed to be very satisfied with the little beggar's reaction, laughed, and then stepped on the little beggar's calf, if this is stepped on, I am afraid that the little beggar can only be a cripple in his life.
Swish.
However, between the lightning and flint, Xiao Yun only felt that a flower in front of him appeared, and a white figure was blocked in front of him, and a huge force came from his step forward, under the effect of this huge force, his whole center of gravity was unstable, he took two steps back, and fell heavily to the ground.
"You're too vicious against a child. ”
Helping the little beggar up, Ye Chen turned to look at Xiao Yun opposite, and said in a salty voice.
"You, you dare to hit me!" Xiao Yun looked at the young man in disbelief, in his eyes he was just a waste of a bad seed, and he dared to hit him just now?
Xiao Yun only felt a pang in his heart, and a raging anger rose.
"If you want to take action to cripple this child, I naturally can't ignore it, besides, I'm afraid that if the King of Hanhai is here, he won't sit idly by, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile, without the slightest fear.
"Good, good. Xiao Yun laughed angrily, he didn't expect the young man to move out of the Hanhai King to scare him, he wanted to teach this boy a lesson that didn't know the height of the sky, but thinking of the young lady's instructions, he still endured it.
"I underestimated you before. ”
Standing up, Xiao Yun looked at the young man coldly, "But one day, you will regret what you just did." ”
Immediately, he set his eyes on the little beggar again, "And him, he will also pay his due price!"
After that, he ignored the two, snorted coldly, and turned to leave in the opposite direction.
"Are you alright?"
It wasn't until Xiao Yun disappeared from sight that Ye Chen turned to the little beggar and asked, the expression on his face was full of softness, perhaps it was the reason for sympathy, and when he saw the little beggar for the first time, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
However, the little beggar seemed a little frightened, and took a step back slightly, his eyes full of vigilance.
"What's the matter, are you still afraid that I will eat you?" The corners of his mouth curled, Ye Chen pinched the little beggar's face with some amusement, I have to say, if this little beggar didn't have a dirty face and messy hair, he would definitely be a beautiful child.
Ye Chen was originally joking, but who knew that the little beggar's face was red, just like a ripe apple, it was cute, and his little head was buried, and he said in that thin and soft voice, "Thank you." ”
Slightly stunned, Ye Chen's hand that was about to be withdrawn also stiffened, because he found that such a cute little beggar was not a boy, but a girl!
