Chapter 38: Engagement Day (Routine Request)
The first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the imperial capital, and the plain and solemn and deserted First Avenue became lively, and both the big nobles, small nobles and ordinary civilians rushed to the First Avenue one after another.
Originally, the marriage between the royal princess and the family was normal, and it was just a pleasure for the top class.
But this time it was different, it was the engagement between the five young men of the Nord family, the first family of the Golden Leaf Dynasty, and Princess Mingyue, the favorite of Emperor Hummos.
For some insightful people, they have long known about the contradictions between the Nord family and the royal family, and in the 800-year history of the Nord family, how can any child ever marry the royal family? This is too strange in their opinion.
And ordinary people don't have so much knowledge, they only know the history of the Nord Five Youths, and his miracle of survival in August in the Mountains of the Dead has become a legend, and the more and more bizarre it becomes, they just want to see this legendary character.
Of course, there are still some people who come for Princess Mingyue's fame and fame, don't you see that the guys who think they are suave are sighing.
According to the rules, the engagement and wedding between the royal family and the family must be carried out in the temple of the goddess of life, representing the inheritance and continuation of life.
First of all, Qi Bei had to personally drive the carriage to the palace to invite Princess Mingyue into the car, and then return to the Nord family for the first ceremony, that is, to familiarize himself with the environment in which he would live in the future.
After this ceremony, we will go to the temple of the goddess of life and pray to the goddess of life, and then the grand engagement ceremony will officially begin.
At this time, Qi Bei, dressed in a black and white dress, drove eighteen flame unicorn carriages, along the first avenue of gold leaves, and walked slowly towards the palace at the end, while behind him was followed by a battalion of black-armored sergeants who were the ceremonial staff team.
Qi Bei looked at the men, women, and children on both sides pointing at him, his whole body was uncomfortable, he was engaged, but it was like a rare animal for free to visit.
Qi Bei beckoned back, and an old man in charge of etiquette from the Nord family walked up to him and asked, "What does the fifth young master command?"
"Can you speed it up?" Qi Bei asked.
According to the rules, the carriage only needs to advance twenty feet a minute, not an inch more, not an inch less. The ceremonial officer shook his head, for the thousand-year-old rules seemed to him to be divine will, and could not be changed.
Qi Bei rolled his eyes.
"All of them, speed up, target the palace. Qi Bei stood up and shouted loudly.
"Yes. Behind him, a battalion of black-armored soldiers raised their ceremonial staff at the same time, and lined them up neatly.
"Drive!" Qi Bei's hand shook stiffly, and the eighteen flame unicorns suddenly neighed in unison, spread their hooves and rushed forward.
A battalion of black-armored sergeants, also four hundred of them, followed in unison and rushed forward.
"Fifth young master, stop, no......" The ceremonial officer shouted after him in shock, and more than a dozen maids also lost their faces.
The crowd of onlookers on both sides became excited, screaming and coaxing one by one like taking aphrodisiacs.
At such a speed, it didn't take long for the huge palace gate to be in sight.
The palace guards saw a carriage rushing towards the palace, and behind the carriage, hundreds of sergeants followed and charged behind in unison.
That's right, it's the charge, and the indomitable momentum can be felt from afar.
"Uh......h Woo ......" The commander of the palace gate guard trembled in his heart, and subconsciously blew the horn in his hand, which meant that someone was attacking the palace.
In an instant, the entire festive palace suddenly exploded, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs.
Groups of heavily armed forbidden troops rushed towards the main gate of the palace from all directions, and the festive atmosphere froze in an instant and became solemn.
The commander of the forbidden army stood on the palace tower above the palace gate and looked at it, and saw the eighteen galloping flame unicorn horses and Qi Bei in a ceremonial dress on the carriage, he couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly slapped the head of the commander of the guard on duty, and shouted: "Your eyes and long buttocks have gone up? This is the fifth young master of the Nord family who came to pick up Princess Mingyue, lift the alert, and open the palace gate." ”
"Yes, Lord. "The commander of the Praetorian Guard is extremely aggrieved, what is going on, you can pick it up, it's the same as a charge.
The alert was lifted, and the ghostly glowing crossbow was taken back, and the closed palace door slowly opened.
Qi Bei pulled the horse stiff a hundred meters in front of the palace, and the carriage stopped steadily.
Looking at the forbidden troops on the palace tower who were retreating one after another, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile, this effect was somewhat unexpected to him, but he was very satisfied.
Anyway, after getting engaged, he will stay away from the imperial capital, what others think of him, and how do they think of him as his business.
After a while, a battalion of black-armored sergeants who followed the march behind him stood neatly, all of them were not red or panting, this physical fitness was indeed strong, and he deserved to be the strongest army in Golden Leaf.
After waiting a little longer, another carriage arrived with the ceremonial officer and a dozen or so disgraced maids.
"Fifth Young Master, are you ...... ...... are you?" the ceremonial officer stopped a carriage halfway, but he was old and still out of breath, and Qi Bei was afraid that he might faint.
In fact, the ceremonial officer really wanted to faint at this time, how could he be a child's play about the engagement, but obviously the five young Nords in front of him didn't take the etiquette in their eyes at all.
"Let's go, let's go inside. Qi Bei interrupted the ceremonial officer's words, he didn't want to listen to this old stubborn chatter.
"Fifth young master, this hour is still at the end, five young, five young...... Alas, the wind of the world says, people's hearts are not ancient. The ceremonial officer helplessly watched Qi Bei drive the carriage into the palace gate, shook his head and sighed.

In the palace hall, Emperor Hummos frowned and listened to the report of the commander of the forbidden army.
"Well, I see, you go down. "Emperor Hummos waved away the commander of the forbidden army, although he was unhappy in his heart, but it was not easy to show it.
As soon as the commander of the forbidden army went down, a middle-aged man in the side hall who was not good-looking walked out.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the Marquis of Lanling Mansion has been investigated the night before yesterday, because of the five young Qi North of the Nord family. The confusion caused by the sudden madness of the two-headed giant yang elephant that Nord gave to the Marquis of Lanling was a bit strange. "This middle-aged humane.
"Then why did Elder Wei, who had always been at odds with the Marquis of Lanling, go to the Marquis of Lanling's Mansion?" asked Emperor Hummos.
"Elder Wei went to check on the two giant yang elephants, presumably the Marquis of Lan Ling suspected that the giant yang elephants had been drugged. "Middle-aged humane.
"Then did you find out what you did?" said Emperor Hummos, staring at the middle-aged man.
"I haven't found this yet. The middle-aged man lowered his head.
Emperor Hummos slapped the table and said angrily: "Go and check, find out what medicine has been put on the two giant yang elephants." ”
The middle-aged man shuddered, even claimed yes, and retreated in fear.
Emperor Hummos paced around the hall twice, his eyes shot a cold light, and he said to himself: "Marquis of Lanling, Ville, don't let this emperor find out that the necromancer has something to do with you." ”
