Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Golden City?
It was a very ordinary night, and Li Ming, who was in his forties, was awarded the title of Second Earl a few years ago because of his repeated feats on the battlefield.
He had just left a banquet that was held every day among the nobles.
To be honest, he was born in the military and didn't like the boring routines of the aristocracy, watching a group of forty or fifty-year-old women gather together, wearing heavy makeup, scratching his head and posing, and the most important thing is that he had to laugh and praise, what a hell!
But now, he was holding Xinna's wind and scratching his concubine, and the spring breeze proudly sat in the alchemy carriage and headed to a place that would never be boring.
This alchemy carriage is owned by most nobles, with excellent sound insulation effect and shockproof ability, people in the car can hardly feel the movement of the outside world, and as long as the carriage moves, it can provide the lights in the car and the energy needed for various alchemy equipment, which is very easy to use.
Of course, it's also very expensive.
"My lord, where are you going to take someone?" dressed in gorgeous costumes, the concubine fell into Li Ming's arms very coquettishly and said coquettishly.
"Hehe, I'll take you to open your eyes today. Li Ming was in a good mood, this was normal, any powerful man driving with a beautiful woman in his arms would feel happier than talking to a group of old witches and fake smiles, "Golden City, I've heard of it." ”
The concubine was stunned at first, and then there was a surprise, she had already heard of the name of the Golden City, the three famous cities in the mainland, the most gorgeous city, and the city made of gold!
Being able to enter the Golden City is a proof of identity, any one of the people who come and go in the city is an existence with an amazingly large background, and Li Ming can know the meaning of taking him to the Golden City without thinking about it.
"It's almost there, and the Golden City is not accessible to everyone, and if it weren't for the guests they welcomed, the doors wouldn't even open. Li Ming's face was proud, and his hands wandered restlessly, "But on the other hand, the person who can make the Golden City open the door to greet it is the recognized nobleman, and today I will take you, this little girl, to see and see." ”
The little concubine gasped again and again, and her eyes leaned against Li Ming's chest.
Just as they were about to go further, the light in the car suddenly dimmed.
This means that the carriage has stopped.
"Hmm, has it already arrived, it's a bit of a disappointment, what should Ah Da do!" Li Ming pushed away the concubine, a little puzzled, usually the coachman would inform him in advance, why did he suddenly stop today.
"What's the matter, Ah Da" Li Ming, who opened the car door and was about to blame the driver, suddenly looked ahead in a daze.
"My lord," the concubine also sorted out her clothes and walked out, but saw the city that appeared in front of her, "This is the Golden City?"
In front of them was a huge city, the gate alone was ten meters high, and it also shone brightly at night.
But what shimmered in this city was not the golden light of the legendary golden city, but the silver-white light, and the entire city was cast of silver, and the pure silver-white light was particularly conspicuous in the darkness of the night.
"What kind of city is this? When did the continent have this silver city? Li Ming smiled, looked at the coachman Ah Da, and said in a reproachful tone, "Ah Da, it's not once or twice to go to the Golden City, but you will go the wrong way?"
"I'm also very strange if I'm not a big man, the way is right. Ah Da was a little overwhelmed, "This is indeed where the Golden City is located." ”
"What?" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Silver City again, and took a closer look at the shape of this Silver City and the Golden City was almost exactly the same!
And I didn't pay attention just now, there seemed to be several alchemy carriages parked under the Silver City.
"Ah Da, go over and have a look. Li Ming said.
"Yes. The coachman drove over.
"Bastard, do you know who I am?" a fat man in a yellow coat was pointing at several people who looked like guards under the city gate and scolded, "Open the door immediately for Lao Tzu, I don't know how many times the money lost in Lao Tzu's casino overnight can buy your cheap life!"
"That's the owner of the nineteenth casino!" Li Ming was shocked to recognize the identity of the fat man, he once won a big game in the nineteenth casino, and was entertained by the boss behind the scenes, it was this fat man.
The people who can open casinos in the Golden City are either powerful or prominent in a big country, such as this fat man, I heard that he is the head of a powerful family in the Blue Continent.
These family heads were all beings who could talk to the highest echelons of the empire, but they were actually stopped outside.
Even the Golden City has not stopped a big man of this status, this Silver City to the end
"Open the door, the Golden City has become like this, what happened to your boss must give us an explanation!" Another lean man walked up to the guards, murderous, "I own three properties in the Golden City, even the managers have no right to stop me at the door!"
However, none of the guards responded, but just stood under the city gate with solemn expressions, as if they were ignoring the group of bigwigs with amazing identities in front of them.
And it can be seen that the strength of the guards is extremely strong, and there are several aristocratic bodyguards dressed as warriors on the side who fell to the ground, and someone must have tried to break in by force before, but was knocked down by the guards.
"My lord, what's wrong?" the little concubine timidly walked up to Li Ming and asked cautiously.
"Something seems to be wrong, something big could be wrong. Li Ming pondered, these big people are still calling for wind and rain even in the Golden City, but now it sounds like even these people don't know what happened in the Golden City, and they are actually turned away.
"Get out of the way. Suddenly, at this moment, a sound sounded, and everyone turned to look, and saw an ordinary wooden carriage, and the coachman drove the snow-white horses slowly with whips.
"Hey, the coachman's appearance is a little familiar" Li Ming is a cultivator, and his night vision is not weak, and he looked at the coming wooden carriage, a little puzzled.
"Who dares to tell us to get out of the way?" said the fat boss of the nineteenth casino who spoke before a little angrily, "Get out of the car for Lao Tzu!"
As soon as the words fell, the warrior beside the fat boss raised his sword and stopped directly in front of the carriage, without saying a word, but it was clear that he would not give way.
Originally, as a fat man, he would not usually make such a reckless move, after all, he didn't know the identity of the other party. But now he is very grumpy, his greatest possession now does not know what is happening, and he is not able to do anything, he does not even know what is happening.
However, in terms of his status, it is not a big problem to do so, and he can open a casino in the Golden City, and his background is so big that even the Duke of the Dynasty has to buy some thin noodles for him.
And not only the fat man, but also the lean man and the others who spoke before also turned to look at the wooden carriage, and they were depressed at the gate of the city, and this person hit the muzzle of the gun.
Boom, boom, boom.
But something unexpected happened, and the guards who had stopped everyone outside suddenly opened the city gates.
"Hmph, are you finally willing to open the door?" the fat man turned around first, and pointed at the guards with a proud face, "Wait, you are ready to roll up the cover and leave!
"Sorry, you don't have the qualifications to enter. But the guard stepped forward and held out his hand to stop the fat man.
"What, you guy!" the fat man was furious, how could he bear to play himself like this!
"And you, none of you are eligible to enter. The guards stopped the others with unchanged expressions.
Then, under the angry gaze of everyone, one of the guards walked to the front of the wooden carriage and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "My lord, please get off the carriage here and enter, today the carriage is not allowed to enter." ”
The coachman looked at the guards and shouted angrily: "What do you say, do you know?"
But before the coachman could finish speaking, a majestic voice came from inside the car and interrupted the coachman's words: "You wait here." ”
"This voice!" Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed greatly, the owner of this voice is!
Ignoring the surprised expressions of the concubine and the coachman, Li Ming jumped out of the car suddenly, ran to the carriage without paying attention, and knelt on the ground.
"Welcome to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone who knew Li Ming was stunned, especially the fat man, whose expression changed greatly.
As a nobleman of the Golden Empire, Li Ming would only perform this kind of etiquette to one emperor on the five continents.
The strongest empire - the Golden Emperor.
"Count Lee, flat. The owner of the wooden carriage walked down, and his simple white clothes could not hide his luxurious atmosphere, and his eyes were domineering, born with the air of an emperor!
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The crowd, who had just been arrogant, knelt down in panic and bowed their heads to the ground, for fear that the emperor would remember his appearance.
He has just started to stop the emperor's royal car, and if he is punished, the crime will not be light.
Especially the fat man, he was so frightened that he lay on the ground, in a cold sweat, he was the one who took the lead in stopping the emperor, although he had a big background, but people could ignore all backgrounds at all.
Anyone who knows the Golden Empire knows the nickname of this emperor - "Ruthless Supreme", not to mention the big forces, even if it is another emperor, I am afraid that he will not give half of face!
I bumped into him, although it would not be as serious as death, but the end may be worse than death.
Li Ming also stood up in fear, although he didn't make any unusual moves, but he didn't know why the emperor appeared here, there are rumors that because the owner of the Golden City is not subservient to the Golden Empire, so the empire has always regarded it as a thorn in the side, in case the emperor knows that he is a frequent visitor to the Golden City, then the end can be imagined.
Damn, why didn't you recognize it all at once, isn't that coachman the former manager!
But what was surprising was that the emperor glanced at the crowd and just said lightly: "Flat." ”
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, not knowing if it was an illusion, it seemed that the emperor didn't care about what these people were doing, he seemed to be thinking about something, and he was a little sad.
"Count Li, follow me. The Emperor raised his head and looked at the golden city that had turned into silver, and said suddenly, and then walked into the city under the guidance of the guards.
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then followed anxiously.
But what was even more panicked was obviously the people who were still kneeling just now, although they got up, but they couldn't figure out what was going on, they could only look at each other.
Obviously, there was a big event in the Golden City, and even they were not allowed to enter, and even Huang Yanjing appeared, and they were indeed a little inadequate.
Inside the city.
Li Ming looked at all this in shock, a few days ago, all the golden city that was still resplendent turned silver-white!
The famous Golden Street has also been transformed into Silver White Street.
And judging from the behavior of the group of people outside just now, the Golden City turned into the Silver City, which should have happened today.
What the hell is going on? How can an entire city made of gold be replaced with silver in a single day! Even thousands of magicians can't do it together!
The emperor walked in front, dressed in white, and he had an inexplicable sense of harmony with this kind of city.
"Count Lee. The Emperor spoke.
"The minister is here. Li Ming hurriedly responded.
"Go and change your clothes. The emperor turned around, looked at Li Ming's gorgeous aristocratic robes, and said.
Li Ming suddenly panicked, he actually didn't notice because he lost his mind, as a courtier, he was wearing such gorgeous clothes and His Majesty was dressed in plain clothes
"The crime deserves death!" Li Ming immediately knelt down to apologize.
"Just white, and then come with me" The emperor raised his head, Li Ming was sure that it was not an illusion this time, and when he raised his head, he saw the undisguised sadness in the emperor's eyes.
"Attend that guy's funeral. ”
