Chapter 775: Extremely Smart
Burning Cold City, a majestic city on the plains, is also the economic, military, and political center of the entire Heavenly Empire.
When Lin Muyu, Sikong Yao and others came to the city of Burning Cold City a hundred miles away, they had already been greeted by the officials and troops sent by the capital, it seemed that the Heavenly Absolute Empire also attached great importance to this group of envoys, and when they arrived fifty miles away, they were greeted by a group of people, and when they entered the City of Burning Cold, they had gathered into a team of nearly two thousand people, and they entered the city in such a mighty way, and were welcomed by the people.
Lin Muyu does not have a military position and official position in the Tianji Empire, so his identity is just a friend of Sikong Yao, riding a war horse and slowly entering the city, looking at the numb faces of the welcoming people on both sides, he couldn't help but smile a little secretly in his heart, what a group of disrespectful extras, you don't have to think about it and know that these ordinary officials are organized, otherwise, who will be here to welcome the envoys of other countries.
Not long after, another group of people in official uniforms greeted them, and they politely talked to each other about something, while Lin Muyu was absent-minded, just looking at the buildings in the Burning Cold City, sure enough, although the territory of the Burning Cold City is vast, the prosperity of the country is still inferior to that of Tianji City, and the number of battle halls alone is a lot less.
After nearly half an hour of travel, we finally arrived at the palace.
A gilded staircase leads to the main hall, and everyone climbs up the stairs, flanked by the fierce armor of the Imperial Foresters, and farther away, a giant dragon stands beside the dragon pillar, one by one huge heads staring at the distant visitors, and on the side of the dragon stands a dragon knight with a helmet under his armpit, who holds the dragon sword against the ground, looking straight ahead, without squinting.
Obviously, this is the Heavenly Absolute Empire's show of force to the envoys.
Lin Tongtian held the Ice Spear with one arm, his eyes looked straight in the direction of the main hall, his steps were heavy and steady, and behind him, Zhuang Shaoyu, Sikong Yao, Shang Qian, and Shi Tianming were not lost their fame, their expressions were calm, and they ignored everything around ......them, but there was one person who was different, Liu Buyi looked at both sides, and kept exclaiming-"Is that Zilong?"
"Is the Phnom Penh on this step real? Shaoxia, can we deduct a piece and make a fortune!"
"The palace maid is so beautiful, convex and backward!"
"Wow, the pendant on the palace lamp is amethyst, rich, too rich!"
......
Lin Muyu didn't pay attention to it, just walked leisurely beside Sikong Yao, Bing Yuanjian hanging from his waist, his hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, his eyes were calm and calm, and he turned a blind eye to the military faces on both sides, as if in his eyes, these elite soldiers were just chess pieces, and there was no other meaning.
Shang Qian couldn't help but look at Lin Muyu twice, and had some admiration in her heart, if Lin Muyu wore a military uniform at this time, Shang Qian would have no doubt that he was a famous general of the empire, I am afraid that only a famous general who has been in a hundred battles and strategized will turn a blind eye to this kind of killing scene, and Lin Muyu's eyes are extremely calm, the more under this solemn scene, the more precious this calm is.
Who the hell is he? Why is he so calm? Is there any purpose for him approaching Sikong Yao?
Shang Qian wrote a series of question marks in her heart.
......
Outside the main hall, a guard said in a loud voice: "Xuan, Lin Tongtian and Sikong Yao will meet you as soon as you exercise the festival!"
Lin Tongtian arched his hand: "Thank you!"
Stepping on the red carpet full of golden patterns, everyone slowly entered the main hall, the ministers on both sides were lined up, the civil and military were divided into two sides, the eyes of the civil ministers were mostly indifferent, sneering and contemptuous, and the eyes of the military attachΓ© were full of hostility, although the two countries did not go to war, but it has not been too friendly, and after the disappearance of the plane enchantment, this battle has been inevitable.
Lin Muyu glanced up, and the eyes of a group of generals staggered with him one by one, among which a few of them were extremely sharp, which made people feel cold, presumably the cultivation of those generals should be good, at least they were all in the divine realm, and on the throne sat a person who looked weak, about fifty years old, at a glance, he knew that he must be addicted to wine, his body had already been stripped away, his eyes were vain, and he was riddled with diseases.
Chen Hai, Emperor of the Heavenly Absolute Empire. Although Lin Muyu is not a medical officer, he also knows that this person will definitely not live for five years, and sooner or later, the Heavenly Absolute Empire will have to change an emperor.
Behind Chen Hai, two young people were one on the left and one on the right, and on the left was a person in luxurious clothes, with a flirtatious look on his face. It is the crown prince Chen Qian, the legendary prince of the Heavenly Empire is the same as his father, obsessed with women and poetry and songs all day long, not enterprising, and is a generation of wine bags and rice bags, and now it seems that this is almost the case.
On the contrary, the young man on the right had a bright eye, revealing the collar of the strong suit in the wide robe, and even the chain armor on his chest, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking at Lin Muyu and the others calmly, his eyes swept one by one, and when he and Lin Muyu's eyes met, he actually seemed to smile, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
Chen Yu, the second prince of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, the most motivated of all the princes, recruits customers, practices the art of war, and has already stepped into the realm of the Holy Martial King, this person is not simple!
......
"Lord Lin Tongtian, the first dragoon general of the Tianji Empire, is here, and he is disappointed, so don't be surprised!" Chen Hai stood up, coughed violently a few times, and said with a smile: "How are you okay along the way?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, all is well. Lin Tongtian saluted respectfully.
"My lord, your arm?" Chen Hai also discovered this.
"On the way, he encountered an assassin and broke his arm. Lin Tongtian's expression was quite grim.
"I see, the border is not peaceful, and I hope you can take care of yourself. β
"Your Majesty Xie cares. Lin Tongtian took out the national letter and said: "This is a handwritten letter from Your Majesty, about the marriage between Chen Yu, the second prince of your country, and the third princess of the Tianji Empire, Bei Yingsheng, please take a look at it." β
"Come, bring it in. β
After Chen Hai read the letter, his face was cloudy, he pushed the letter back, and said: "Yu'er, this is your marriage contract, you can see for yourself, His Royal Highness Bei Yingshang is both talented and beautiful, it is your blessing to marry her, you must cherish this marriage." β
Chen Yu nodded: "Everything is up to my father." β
"Okay, then let's get married on a certain day!" Chen Hai stood up, coughed a few more times, and said, "I am not feeling well, I want to rest early, prince, you can preside over the luncheon and entertain a few envoys from afar." β
"Yes, Father!"
......
Sikong Yao's face showed a trace of anger: "It's really excessive!"
It is true that Chen Hai's perfunctory and snubbing are too obvious.
Lin Muyu smiled faintly, Chen Hai deserved to be a faint king, even if the two countries were about to fight, this kind of ceremonial drama still had to be done enough, he even forgot the etiquette, and greatly lost the etiquette of a great country.
Prince Chen Qian stepped forward and smiled respectfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, the side hall is invited, and the palace has set up a state banquet." β
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. Shang Qian and Sikong Yao nodded in unison.
Chen Qian smiled slightly, his eyes swept between Sikong Yao's face, chest and hips, and said: "This is Miss Sikong Yao of Tianji Sect......, right? I wonder if I will be able to listen to the heavens after the luncheon?"
This is like the prince of a country, but like a prodigal son.
Sikong Yao endured the boredom and said, "Sikong Yao is tired of traveling and driving, very tired, I don't want to stroke the qin, I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Prince." β
She actually openly rejected him!
Chen Qian's face was obviously a little ugly, and he turned his face and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go to the side hall for luncheon first!"
......
The luncheon is the scale of the state banquet, with a total of 100 dishes, which is extremely luxurious, but Lin Tongtian was teased and Sikong Yao was lightened, and they were not in the mood to eat, but it was cheap Lin Muyu and Liu Buyi, two heartless guys, had a good meal, and after the luncheon, Chen Qian arranged for everyone to live in the palace.
Lin Muyu's room was in an inconspicuous wing, but it was quiet.
"Knock Knock ......"
Liu Buyi's voice came from outside the door: "Shaoxia, Zhuang Shaoyu and Miss Sikong Yao are going to the imperial garden to see the scenery and relax, won't you go together?"
"No, I'll wait for someone, you can go. β
"Wait for someone?"
"Well, Buyi, you go, follow Miss Sikong Yao, safe. β
"Oh well. β
......
An hour later, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a waiter said, "Second Prince Chen Yu has arrived!"
Sure enough, it's coming!
Lin Muyu didn't open the door, still drinking tea by himself.
"Knock Knock ......"
Chen Yu's voice came from outside: "Shaoxia, don't you want to see it?"
Lin Muyu smiled: "If the second prince wants to come in, open the door and come in by himself, this is the palace of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, but it is your home." β
"Hahaha......"
Chen Yu laughed, pushed the door in, followed by a young man, and said, "Shaoxia is really an extremely smart person. β
"Who is this?" Lin Muyu looked at the person behind Chen Yu.
The young man arched his hand and said: "In Xia Liaoyang, the nephew of Han Yuan, the sect leader of the Heavenly Absolute Sect, is also a guest of the second prince. β
Lin Muyu's eyes lit up: "Liaoyang, please come in, it's not the first time we've met." β
Liaoyang was stunned, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Chen Yu laughed: "Please sit down, why be so tense?"
Lin Muyu nodded, this second prince is so smart, almost everything is under his control.
After taking a seat, Chen Yu said, "Where does the young man come from?"
"Your Highness might as well guess, with Your Highness's ability, you should be able to guess. β
"If nothing else, it should be the west, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness is wise. β
"What's the young man's surname?"
"Your Highness, guess again. The corners of Lin Muyu's mouth hooked up a smile.
Chen Yuwaner: "Maybe...... The surname is Qin. β
β......β
Lin Muyu frowned, I'm afraid that this Chen Yu's resourcefulness was far beyond his expectations.
Chen Yu smiled: "How can the young man tell that Liaoyang is that person?"
"The injury on his wrist. It was a little unnatural when I saluted just now, and if nothing else, it was an injury caused by a mistake. β
"Oh?"
Chen Yu smiled: "Do young heroes know that if they know too much, they will cause death?"
Lin Muyu smiled but said nothing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lin Muyu chuckled: "Your Highness should be guessing whether my surname is Lin or my surname is Feng, right?"
"Hahahaha, it's a pleasure to talk to smart people!"
Chen Yu put the teacup on the table and said, "That's right, if you don't have the surname Lin or the surname Feng, then you can only disappear into the Tianji Continent today." β
"No, you're not willing to kill me. Lin Muyu is confident.
"Why?"
"Because only I can accomplish your hegemony. β
β......β
Chen Yu was silent for a few seconds, laughed, extremely hearty, got up and hugged his fists and saluted: "Under Chen Yu, see His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Great Qin Empire!"
Liaoyang was stunned, completely unable to understand what was going on.
