Chapter 11: The Imperial Capital
In front of you, there is a huge city that stands majestically and squarely. From a distance, it makes people feel solemn and solemn and faintly awe-inspiring.
It's like a majestic epic, and it's like a heroic war song.
Many famous emperors of the desolate race, such as Wuzu Yingzheng, Thunder Emperor Gu Lingfeng, Emperor Destroying God Extreme, and Evil Heart Yu, have conquered this city and left their footprints.
This is the imperial capital, the pearl in the hearts of the people of the Great Wilderness, the largest city in the Great Wilderness, there is no one, and it has also been called the city of the center of the world in history.
It's just that after the "Eastern Wilderness War", with the decline of the Great Wilderness, the former famous imperial capital also slowly declined. Nowadays, only the remnants of the emperor have left traces in the years, in the breeze, pouring out the glory of the past.
After nearly three months of arduous journey, the caravan of Wulu finally arrived in this legendary city. The road was safe and sound, there was no turmoil, and there was no terrible scene of horse bandits blocking the road everywhere and swords everywhere as the hotel travelers said. Come to think of it, in this troubled world, there must be means and relationships behind it.
After entering the imperial capital, Wulu was separated from the caravan. A few days ago, I just saw the prosperity of Changxing City in the Southern Regions, which had already made Wu Lu dumbfounded, and he didn't want the prosperity of this imperial capital to be even better.
Seeing this person coming and going, Wu Lu suddenly had a lonely illusion, the world is so big, there is no place to live.
In desperation, Wu Lu could only take out the jade given by the mysterious person who claimed to be his uncle in the past, and walked towards a richly decorated shop on the street that looked very regular called "Bai's Pharmacy".
The imperial capital of the Bai family.
When Zhao Ling'er looked at the ragged young man in front of him in amazement, with a shaved head common in the Great Wilderness Country, he saw him standing quietly behind the housekeeper with his head down, like a restless little beast.
Zhao Ling'er took the jade pendant handed over by the housekeeper, it was the smoky white jade pendant that her husband Bai Yunfei regarded as a treasure, this jade pendant husband never left him, and he had tried to trick it out of her husband's hands many times but failed to do so.
It's only been a few days, and this white jade pendant has changed hands, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but take a few more glances at this young man who is just handsome.
Suddenly, Zhao Ling'er thought of a possibility, and endless anger surged in her heart.
"Bai Yunfei, this is his illegitimate son. The old lady poured out her heart and lungs to him, but I didn't expect him to raise a junior outside behind my back, and the illegitimate child is already so old, and now he is still coming to the door. ”
"I can't lose my grace in front of the third son, and then go back and settle accounts with this dead ghost."
For a while, thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhao Linger's heart.
Of course, Wu Lu didn't know what Zhao Ling'er thought.
Wu Lu swore that he just took this jade pendant to the shop on the side of the road to ask for directions, and the shopkeeper suddenly stared at himself in surprise, and then pulled himself into this compound without saying a word, and then was looked at by a woman who was gorgeous and beautiful, and Wu Lu was stunned and numb.
After more than two months of travel, I just arrived in the imperial capital, and I was not familiar with the place, so I just asked for the next way. Wu Lu thought aggrievedly.
At this time, feeling the burning gaze of the woman opposite, Wu Wulu's heart was full of uneasiness.
"May I ask this young man, how did you get this jade pendant?" Zhao Ling'er sat on the wooden chair, holding the teacup, and asked softly.
"Madam, this was sent by a senior." Wu Lu replied truthfully.
"Oh, then what's his name, why did he give you such a valuable jade?"
Wu Lu carefully recalled the scene of meeting Bai Yunfei that day, and then said innocently: "Probably he knows my mother." ”
"What does he have to do with your mother, is it convenient to show through?" Zhao Ling'er held back her anger.
"I don't know, he didn't say." Wu Lu shook his head and replied honestly.
On the way back to the imperial capital, Bai Yunfei sat in the steam train, looking out the window with a worried face, and the beautiful scenery outside the window kept flashing.
After reporting to Lin Shuai, Bai Yunfei left Chang'an City and chose to return to the imperial capital again.
"Freemasonry, one day, someone will come to you to get back that blood feud, there must be such a person." Bai Yunfei muttered softly to himself.
"That kid doesn't know if the emperor is coming?" Bai Yunfei suddenly thought of Wu Wulu, and his originally heavy mood instantly lightened.
Suddenly, Bai Yunfei sneezed.
Who's scolding me behind my back? Bai Yunfei touched his nose, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this time, in the imperial capital Bai Mansion, Zhao Ling'er was carefully looking at Wu Wulu's face, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it looked like Bai Yunfei.
"Such a beautiful face, it's just the same mold as the dead ghost when he was young."
The more Zhao Ling'er looked at it, the more she felt that Wu Lu was the illegitimate son of Bai Yunfei.
Suddenly, a brisk figure burst in, like a lightly dancing butterfly.
I saw that the person was beautiful, his skin was brighter than snow, he was tall, he was really dizzy, beautiful and shining, and he was like a sinking fish and a goose bird, and he was ashamed to close the moon and tremble.
This is the most beautiful woman Wu Lu has ever seen, even if she has the appearance of the flower of the town, she is slightly inferior to it. If you want to come to the fairy who has been left behind in the world, I'm afraid it's just that.
"Are you the fiancé who married me and my father never mentioned it in front of anyone?" The girl flashed her big beautiful eyes and walked around the land curiously.
The butler on the side of the "poof" directly squirted out the tea in his mouth.
Wu Lu was so frightened that he just asked for directions, how did he become his fiancé.
"Are you here to propose today?" The girl asked curiously.
"Isn't it going to be too fast? I'm not ready," the girl continued, shaking her head.
"Dead girl, what are you talking about?" Zhao Ling'er's face next to her instantly darkened.
"Mother, a penniless young knight, took the cigarette white jade pendant that my father regarded as a treasure, and bravely came to my Bai family alone. In this case, the novel refers to the belly for marriage. The girl shook her head and said proudly.
"Reading those messy books all day long, a girl's house, you have to have a girl's reserve."
"Mother, you also watched."
"You girl, you dare to talk back, am I usually too gentle with you or are you rebellious?"
The girl immediately became honest and said no more.
After a while, the girl secretly glanced at Zhao Ling'er, and then asked, "My name is Xiao Yu'er, what's your name." ”
Wu Lu replied politely: "My name is Wu Wulu. ”
"Do we have a surname in the Great Wilderness?" The girl asked, confused.
"It's not my surname, I've been called like this since I can remember, so it's my first name." Wu Lu explained.
Unconsciously thinking of that person, Wu Lu's mood instantly became lost.
In this way, under the suspicion of his illegitimate son and fiancé, Wu Lu inexplicably settled in Baifu under Zhao Ling'er's irresistible gaze.
Wu Lu had a premonition that his life would not be peaceful in the future, because he had a headache at the moment, and the reason for the headache was of course the quirky tall girl in front of him.
Halfway through the way, this little goblin blatantly asked for a so-called meeting gift from Wu Lu.
"Anything is a curiosity, or something fun. If you really don't have it, give a few hundred gold coins! Barely let you pass. The girl blinked her big beautiful eyes and said innocently.
When Wu Lu heard this, he almost fell down on the spot, this little goblin really dared to speak, he didn't look like a rich man from anywhere, and the only valuable jade on his body had just been taken by that beautiful woman.
At this time, the girl also seemed to see the embarrassment of the Wulu, and after walking around the Wulu, after a while, the girl said lazily: "That's it, you just need to meet my small request." ”
"What requirements?" Wu Lu asked vigilantly, the girl in front of him didn't seem to be an easy master.
"I'll just say yes to you, a gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase, the manly husband has to do what he says, I still have a good idea, and I will look for you when I think of it in the future." This little goblin directly made a choice for Wu Wulu, and then continued to lead the way with satisfaction.
In this way, on the first day of coming to the imperial capital, Wu Lu successfully sold himself.
Bai Yunfei, who was worried about the country and missed his family, walked on the way back to the imperial capital, and he would not have thought that there was a bigger storm waiting for him at home.
This is the first time Xiao Yu'er has seen Wu Wulu, and at this time, she would not have thought that this good-looking and down-and-out young man in front of her would be entangled with her for the rest of her life in the future, and hegemony or fate would begin from this.
At this time, Wu Lu would not have thought that this girl with an amazing mouth and an innocent eccentric girl in her eyes was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
He was a cold-hearted and withdrawn man, born in the dark, accustomed to killing, walking on the mountain of corpses and walking in the sea of blood. It was the girl named Xiao Yu'er who fished him back into this world and filled his world with sunshine again.
Someone once said that all peerless swords in the world have a specific and unique scabbard that belongs to themselves, because without a peerless scabbard, it will not only kill and injure the enemy, but also easily hurt itself.
If Wu Lu is a peerless sword, the girl named Xiao Yu'er must be the scabbard of the peerless sword called Wu Lu.
Later, the flower of the empire also privately revealed to the people close to her that in my life, there is only one person who really regards me as an opponent. Only she, Little Fish, really made me sleep.
In various historical books of later generations, there is no mention of the emotional life of Wu Lu in his early years, and even the official history compiled by the Great Wilderness Country is also a brushstroke, and he has never spoken more than half a penny.
Many years later, only in folk history notes or legends, or some street stories, will the name Xiaoyuer occasionally appear.
But it is undeniable that there was such a girl, who had been silently by his side when he was young and had nothing, and survived the most difficult years together.
There have been people who have amazed the time, and there are people who have been gentle with the years.
If life is only as it first seems.
