Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
From the Lorraine Plain to the imperial capital, choose to sail by water, and the next is a smooth road.
The Lancang Grand Canal is the main artery of the empire that was dug out by the emperors of the empire with countless huge sums of money and national strength.
This artery, which runs through the east and west directions of the empire, directly opens up the logistics of the east and west of the empire, and becomes the blood vessel of the heart of the imperial capital.
Moreover, in the era when the empire developed the South Seas in the past, the navy's successive expeditions to the South Seas, in order to show off his martial arts, the emperor would let the navy's fleet sail directly to the port outside the imperial capital to receive the cheers of the people, and hold a grand triumphal ceremony -- in order to allow the naval fleet to sail to the port outside the imperial capital, the river channel was greatly widened.
It seems that the naval warship that Chen Daolin and others are riding on now is driving on the wide Lancang Grand Canal without any pressure.
Moreover, the fleet that hoisted the flag of the Governor's Palace in Newhoven in the East China Sea and the flag of the Rolling's family was equivalent to double insurance, and the places and local checkpoints along the way were immediately released, and the boats encountered along the river also gave way to the river.
......
Early that morning, Chen Daolin was still resting in the cabin when he heard someone knocking on the door outside. The little maid Xia Xia ran to open the door, and her face suddenly sank.
Standing outside the door was actually Panin.
Panin looked very good, in good spirits, wearing a brand-new lieutenant general's uniform, even wearing a ribbon, two medals on his chest, shiny leather boots, a thin long sword around his waist, and snow-white gloves on his palms.
The hair was meticulously combed, and there seemed to be a smile on the handsome face: "Master Darling, you won't be up yet, will you?"
Xia Xia directly rolled her eyes at this guy, if it weren't for the fact that she had gradually learned some etiquette these days. According to Xia Xia's temper, he wanted to slam the door on this guy's face on the spot!
Hum...... Bai has such a good-looking face, but he is a bastard, and he hurt our master so badly last time. There is still a face to come to the door?!
Xia Xia pouted. Before she could speak, Chen Daolin's laughter was already heard inside: "General Garonin is so interested." Come to me early in the morning, I don't know what to see?"
As he spoke, Chen Daolin walked out of the room step by step, he was barefoot. He was wearing a loose nightgown, the smile on his face was a little lazy, and his hair was even more messy.
This respect, and Panin's spirit, just form a strong contrast.
Xia Xia glanced at his master, and then looked at the handsome guy Paning next to him, and suddenly had a strange thought in his heart: although his own master looked a little sloppy. But it's very comfortable to look at.
Where is it like this little white face, looking like he is about to be received by the emperor at any time!
Chen Daolin waved his hand to Xia Xia and asked her to go out first, and then he looked at Paning with a smile: "These days in the same boat." You and I haven't met, and I thought you were going to pay off. β
Paning snorted lightly in his nose, walked into Chen Daolin's cabin, looked at the furnishings here, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Darling, you are also a cultivator, don't you understand that an overly luxurious life will kill your ambitions?"
Chen Daolin's cabin was indeed very luxurious - because he was Lucius's teacher, Lucius was very respectful to his teacher, and in fact this cabin belonged to the young master of the governor himself, and Lucius gave it up for his teacher's enjoyment.
The cabin is covered with a thick carpet, and even on the ship, you will never feel the slightest damp and cold, and you will only feel dry and warm when you step on the carpet with bare feet.
The incense burner on the table was burning with the best incense from the South Seas, and the furnishings in the room were even more luxurious, especially the large bed inside, which was enough for three people to roll on it, and the soft bed quilt was velvet.
Even the toilet behind the bed is inlaid with gold edges.
"I'm a bit lazy by nature, and I like to make myself comfortable, so it's not a big deal. Chen Daolin didn't care at all.
"It's already morning, and looking at your appearance, it seems that you have just gotten up?" Paning frowned and looked at Chen Daolin, shook his head and said, "You are also a cultivator, don't you know that karma is good at diligence and waste is at play." I think when you're so old, you'll get up and practice every day before dawn......"
Chen Daolin couldn't help but smile and looked into Paning's eyes: "Huh, are you so kind to urge me to practice hard?"
Panin's expression remained unchanged: "If your strength is too bad, I'm afraid that you won't even be qualified to be my opponent in the future." β
"Hahaha, then don't bother Your Excellency. Chen Daolin looked directly at Paning and said lightly: "If you don't believe it, we might as well compare and see if you can clean me up lightly." β
"Your intrigues alone are not king. Panin sneered.
"Okay, let's stop arguing with you. Chen Daolin waved his hand: "Say, what is the matter with me?"
(Hmph, Uncle Ben is practicing the immortal method of the old Doumeng Taoist...... Since Lao Tzu has inherited the mantle of such a teacher, he naturally wants to carry forward the set of the dream Taoist, and the art of immortals can also be cultivated in his sleep.
Besides......
Hmph, the monster also blames Xia Xia and Barossa! Brother was afraid of the lonely journey, so he taught them to fight the landlord, and as a result, these two chicks were addicted to playing, and they dragged me to fight until almost dawn last night, Xia Xia lost a month's salary, and the Barossa chick lost her family and almost mortgaged the elf bow she carried closely.
Lao Tzu stayed up all night and didn't sleep to play cards with the two chicks, isn't it hard?!hum!)
"I just sent someone to report, I will arrive in the imperial capital at noon, I wonder if Mr. Darling is interested in going to the deck with me to talk? Panin said with a smile: "Speaking of the walls of the imperial capital, but it is a scene of the empire, and all those who come to the imperial capital for the first time are all overwhelmed by it. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Darling must have been to the Imperial Capital for the first time. β
Chen Daolin's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Paning deeply: "General Garonin's invitation, how dare I refuse?" Please allow me to freshen up and change my clothes." β
......
A moment later, the two were standing side by side in the bow of the boat.
Chen Daolin changed into a looser magician robe and held a cup of hot tea in his hand. There is also Xia Xia, a little attendant, who is waiting behind him like a little tail, holding a plate with tea and snacks on it.
Chen Daolin stood at the bow of the boat. Overlooking the river. couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's a prosperous place in the world!"
At this moment, it is not far from the emperor. On both sides of the river, rows of green trees are planted along the riverbank. The road is wider and smoother.
Just along the river and on both sides of the main road, there are many houses and shops, boatmen are busy, and shops are selling. Merchant ships from all over the world are anchored on both sides of the river. Prosperity brought to both sides of the strait.
There are also small boats boating on the river, there are delicate girls selling flowers and all kinds of fresh melons and fruits, and some fishermen hang all kinds of river fresh food on the riverbank.
There are also merchant hotels, built on both sides of the riverbank, and even restaurants are built on the river, where tourists drink and dine, overlooking the endless stream of boats on the river......
It's close to noon at the moment. This season is the autumn air, standing on the bow of the boat and looking at such a scenery, the river breeze gusts, blowing people feel refreshed. Chen Daolin couldn't help but sigh again and again: "Good place, good place!"
Chen Daolin sighed here, but Paning next to him was also sighing, and he heard him sigh in a low voice: "Although the place is good, it is not my hometown......"
Well?
Chen Daolin's heart moved, turned his head to look at Paning, and saw Paning's handsome face that made people jealous, full of a faint sense of helplessness, this expression made Chen Daolin a little surprised, he frowned, and said with a smile: "Why did the general say this? If I remember correctly, you came to the imperial capital this time, but you were promoted to become wealthy, and you soared! Moreover, ...... I heard that the general is about to marry the princess of the royal family, and I heard that the daughters of the royal family are all beautiful and beautiful. The so-called manly man, waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, what a happy thing! Why are you still so sad?"
Paning's face froze, his eyes showed a hint of discomfort, he glared at Chen Daolin, and scolded in a low voice: "Marry the princess...... Hmph, such a 'beautiful thing', who wants to marry it, even if it is married. β
After he said this, he couldn't help but glance back, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that his elder uncle was not behind him.
Seeing this proud guy show this expression, Chen Daolin couldn't help but be amused and curious.
"Although the imperial capital is good, it is the core of the power of the empire, and all the influential figures can only rise to prominence in this place! Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Rollin family established a lifetime of meritorious service in the bloody battle of the imperial capital. A hundred years ago, His Royal Highness Du Wei was also named Duke Tulip in the coup d'Γ©tat in the imperial capital, and then became famous all over the world. Just ask the world's heroes, who doesn't want to get ahead in this place. β
"Isn't that good?" Chen Daolin said calmly: "Manly man, isn't this what he is pursuing?"
"That's all good. Panin's expression was gloomy, but his tone actually had this unprecedented sincerity, he looked into the distance: "I will return to the imperial capital, will be given the rank of general, enter the military department, and then marry the daughter of the royal family, become the royal barrier, with this identity, in less than ten years, I can become the chief general of the first army, within twenty years, I have the hope of sitting in the position of military minister, if I am lucky, in my lifetime, I may be able to be the prime minister! When I die, I may be able to make my family's title go to a higher level......"
When Panin said this, his tone gradually lowered: "These are all very good...... Unfortunately, I don't like it. β
Chen Daolin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He looked at Panin's face and found that this guy who had always been at odds with him had such a frank and ...... expression on his face at the moment Helpless!
"Paning......" Chen Daolin couldn't help but change his name, and said in a low voice: "I didn't see it, you are actually a hermit who doesn't love power?"
"The hermit can't be said either. Panin suddenly smiled faintly: "I also like the wine and beauty, but if it is accompanied by the wine and the beauty, there is a pair of shackles that lock your life, then it will be very boring." β
"Shackles ......," Chen Daolin gradually became stricter.
"I lived twenty-six years. Panin said in a low voice: "The most alive years are the eight years of cultivation in the mountains with my teacher. The teacher taught me to get rid of the distractions of the outside world, and to do whatever I wanted. There is no jealousy of colleagues in the army, no intrigues, no intrigues, and no entertainment for the powerful. He said, glancing at Chen Daolin: "My father has been in the imperial capital for ten years, and now he is serving in the royal city guard, and the imperial capital city defense. Tens of thousands of soldiers were in his hands. But this decade. My father had a happy day. He was not yet fifty years old, and his hair was already half gray. When I came back from cultivating in the mountains. He was unwilling to stay in the imperial capital, but was transferred to the East China Sea to be at ease. But now, this imperial capital, I can't avoid it after all. β
Panin said sincerely. Chen Daolin also became more and more confused in his heart.
He coughed twice, stared at Panin, and frowned, "This...... I'm surprised you're saying this to me. Panin, the two of us don't seem to be friends, do we?"
"Naturally not!" Panin immediately shook his head dryly: "I wish you were dead." β
"That's it, you came to my room early in the morning and dragged me out to see the view. I was really flattered to talk to me about these heart-wrenching words. Chen Daolin laughed: "I feel cold on my back now, for fear that you are digging a pit for me and putting a sleeve." β
"You don't have to think about it that much. Panin laughed: "Don't worry, when you really want to dig a pit and put a sleeve on you." I won't be soft. It's just ...... at the moment."
He sighed softly and lowered his voice: "The closer I get to the imperial capital, the more unhappy I am in my heart. But there was not a single man on this boat who could say two words. Although Lucius is the same as me, that guy is not in the same relationship with me, and besides, he said that he had to wait for a stick of incense in his last sentence, and he is really not a person who can talk. It's you, thinking that the two of us are also 'friends of life and death', you and I have each other's handles in each other's hands, and I have some words to spit on you, and I am not afraid that you will say it. β
Chen Daolin smiled strangely - is this the treatment of a "rival"?
"Darling. Panin's tone suddenly changed: "I haven't asked you yet, what did you come to the imperial capital to find here?"
"Me?" Chen Daolin was stunned.
"Hmm!" Panin's tone was actually very serious: "The imperial capital has always been a paradise for adventurers and speculators. I don't know how many warriors and magicians all hope to become famous and famous in this place! Just like those glorious formers! Every year, I don't know how many warriors come to the imperial capital at the expense of a single qiΔ, just hoping to try their luck here and find a chance to ascend to the top. I don't know how many people come with dreams and want to get ahead in the imperial capital. So, what about you? Darling, what are you coming to the imperial capital for?"
"I ......" Chen Daolin suddenly felt a little dazed in his heart.
What am I here for?
Even Chen Daolin himself couldn't give an accurate answer to this question.
It seems that after crossing over and coming to this Roland world, most of the time is at peace with encounters, drifting with the flow, and he does not have any particularly clear goals and ambitions.
I'm like a gamer who doesn't belong to this world, walking around, trying my luck, traveling everywhere, reaping the benefits if I can, and it doesn't matter if I can't.
Speaking of which, it seems that he does have a reason to come to the imperial capital, that is, the terms of the deal between the old monster Chris and himself.
But the problem is that it doesn't seem to be particularly necessary, for Chen Daolin, he just treats that condition as a game copy task, which can be done naturally, but can't be done...... It doesn't seem to matter.
Speaking of power, I never thought that I was not a person from this world, and I had no foundation here - what kind of time-traveling protagonist came to another world with a halo, and then rebelled and farmed to kill the emperor to unify the world...... Come on, just think about it.
As for wealth......
Chen Daolin subconsciously touched his clothes, and the magic bag he was carrying contained things scavenged from the underground treasure house of Luo Lin's house, with these wealth, Chen Daolin was already richer than the vast majority of people in this world!
"With all due respect, I've never seen through you since I've known you. Paning seemed to smile, he didn't look at Chen Daolin, but looked into the distance, and said slowly: "You seem to be calculating, you will repay everything, and you are good at calculation and change...... According to my years of experience in knowing people, people like you should be the kind of people who are ambitious and ambitious. But when you were in the Governor's Mansion in the East China Sea, you didn't seem to have any interest in YiqiΔ, and the Governor appreciated you so much, but you were just eating, drinking, and having fun in the Governor's Palace, or accompanying Lucius's stupid boy to soak in the room and soak in the island magic. If you were someone else, and you could get the appreciation of Governor Fritz, who would spend time with Lucius's little kid all day long? Governor Fritz has tried to recruit you as his family's magical advisor on several occasions, but you have been content with being a governess.
It seems that you have reaped a lot of benefits in the East China Sea, but it is all a small fight. With such a big thick leg as Fritz, you just turned a blind eye and left the East China Sea without saying a word. Accompanied Lucius, a little child, to the imperial capital.
I've heard that. When Governor Fritz asked you if you would like to come to the imperial capital, he actually wanted to test you. As long as you show even the slightest hint at the time, the Doge will want to keep you as his family's magical advisor...... Just like that Bhatia mage of the Rollin family!
Do you know that the Bhatia of the Rollin family is because of the support of the Rollin family. The position in the Magical Guild has been reached as a deacon!
If you accept the invitation of Governor Fritz, with Governor Fritz's position in the empire and in the emperor's heart, you can get the financial and material support of the governor's family, then you will enter the magic union in the future, and you will soon be promoted to the top level! Spend all day with only small children.
But if you want to say that you are a humble person, it is not very unlikely, you are greedy for money, lustful, and cunning and shrewd.
I'm really curious. How can these two completely opposite qualities be reflected in you at the same time? β
Chen Daolin listened, and his heart gradually calmed down.
This panin...... It's so accurate!!
In fact, Chen Daolin knew very well what his state of mind was.
They say that they are cunning and shrewd, greedy for money and lustful.
As for the Void Wakaya...... That's because I haven't really regarded myself as a person in the Roland world all along!
Deep down, subconsciously, he has always regarded himself as a passerby.
Or rather, he thinks of himself as a player in this world!
The so-called Roland world, in his heart, is still like a huge RPG game, he can delete his number and leave at any time, and he can return to the real world at any time.
In his heart, he has never really felt a sense of belonging to this world.
"Actually, I don't care what you want. Panin slowly continued: "You and I are not friends, and I don't care if you live or die. But what I want to say to you is ......"
He slowly turned around and faced Chen Daolin head-on, Yan sΓΉ's eyes stared at Chen Daolin's eyes:
"You really shouldn't have brought Barossa to a place like the Imperial Capital!"
β...... Why?"
"Because, this place, will eat people. β
Panin replied without hesitation: "When I was in the imperial capital, I don't know how many people I saw come here with dreams, and then hit their heads and bleed, and how many people lost their families and broken bones! If you are alone, it is a big deal to die, turn into a dry bone in the Lancang River, and turn into a pile of dust in the mountains in the suburbs. But you just brought Barossa to this place with you! Chen Daling, didn't you think that Barossa is such a beautiful and simple elf, and you would bring her to such a treacherous place where tigers and wolves eat people everywhere...... Do you have what it takes to protect her? If one day, you can't even protect yourself......"
As he spoke, he sneered: "If you offend some big man in the imperial capital, do you think you can have the power to protect yourself? If you offend some powerful enemy in the imperial capital, how should you deal with yourself? And if there is some powerful person who takes a fancy to Barossa's beauty and wants to rob her, do you think you can keep her? You are just a small character! Even if you and Lucius are friends, this is the imperial capital! Even if Governor Fritz himself is here, he still has to be a man with his tail between his legs, let alone Lucius's child? Even if Governor Fritz appreciates you, he will definitely not rashly erect a strong enemy for your sake!
You do have the identity of a magician! But this is not a poor country, this is the imperial capital! In the imperial capital, a small low-level mage is like an ant! In the eyes of a real strongman, a finger can pinch you to death.
Even if it weren't for me, Darling, if I hadn't been a little proud, if I really wanted to kill you without a single thing, there would have been at least a hundred ways! If nothing else, this general's uniform on my body would allow me to kill you without any punishment!"
Chen Daolin was speechless.
"I am asking you this today to give you a few words of advice. Paning said lightly: "The imperial capital is not the East China Sea! You have a beautiful partner who makes people red, and you have amazing wealth, if you are somewhere else, it is naturally very good." But in the imperial capital, this is the way to death! This is a place of cannibalism, and every year I don't know how many heroes and heroes die here or miserable, humiliated, or silent!
I hope you won't be next! I hope you don't bother Barossa!
The wealth you got from the treasure house of the Luo Lin family had better be carefully collected, and don't take it out casually, otherwise, I guarantee that you won't survive more than a month in the imperial capital!"
β............β
Chen Daolin was silent for a long time, he stared at Paning, although Paning's words were vicious, Chen Daolin's heart was full of anger for a while, but after he gradually calmed down......
β...... Thank you!"
Chen Daolin actually said this sentence very sincerely: "Thank you for your advice! Although I know that this is not your intention, I still want to thank you!"
Panin didn't pay attention to Chen Daolin's thanks, he turned around and looked at the distance on the bow of the boat, and then, he suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to point into the distance:
"Look! The walls of the imperial capital! You can see the walls of the imperial capital! We're almost there!"
