Chapter 32 - Entering the Imperial City
After resting in Dengxian City for another night, Lin Xuan and Zhao Xizhi embarked on the road to Huaxia Imperial City. Originally, it was only three hundred miles away, and Lin Xuan Imperial Sword could fly directly to it. But Zhao Xizhi wanted to spend more alone time with Lin Xuan, so she insisted on walking over, and she didn't even want to ride a horse. As for those entourage, they were driven away by Zhao Xizhi last night!
Leaving Dengxian City, the two walked on the official road leading to the Imperial City, and Zhao Xizhi completely let go of herself.
During the day, the two walked slowly forward, and Zhao Xizhi seemed to have endless topics, but fortunately, Lin Xuan had experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, and he was involved in all aspects, so he could always find an entry point. At night, Zhao Xizhi seemed to melt herself into Lin Xuan's body, and she was entangled in death every night.
It was a blink of an eye, but the two walked for seven days. When he saw the Huaxia Imperial City, Lin Xuan didn't expect that the entire city was blessed by the five ancestors with the mana formation, and the current Imperial City is no exaggeration to say that although the scale is not large, the Yuan Infant Period fighting in the city can't damage the buildings in the city at all.
Lin Xuan told Zhao Xizhi about this situation, at this time, there were already Praetorian Guards standing guard at the gate of the city, and when he saw someone, Zhao Xizhi also instantly put away the tenderness and sweetness on his face, and the Chiba feather coat on his body quickly changed from a youthful and beautiful style to a noble and majestic style.
And there are still many people on the road driving carriages, driving the convoy to line up into the city, after all, the emperor list of various countries said very clearly that there are a large number of houses for sale in the imperial city of China. It has only been less than three months now, and the rich merchants in the northern countries have not come so quickly due to the cold winter.
Looking at the long queue at the city gate, Lin Xuan picked up the fire sword and flew towards the city with Zhao Xizhi in his arms. At this time, the various formations of the Imperial City had not yet been activated, so they were not allowed to be empty. Lin Xuan didn't fly too high or too fast, after all, he still needed to let the people in the city know that Zhao Xizhi had returned.
The captain of the Praetorian Guard at the gate of the city had sharp eyes, saw someone coming from behind the queue with a sword, and then saw Zhao Xizhi. Immediately knelt down and bowed: "See His Majesty the Emperor." The Praetorian Guard sergeants on duty also hurriedly bowed.
"Flat, don't be polite. Zhao Xizhi stood beside Lin Xuan and said lightly.
At this time, the crowd at the door noticed that there was someone above their heads, and when they heard the words of the Praetorian Guard, they couldn't help but bow down. After all, the dignity of the emperor has penetrated into the hearts of these people, and now when they hear the emperor entering the city, they can't help but wonder which emperor is ruling the city, and listening to the voice is still a woman. There are also immortals accompanying the escort, it seems that this female emperor has a very big background!
Since the day the emperor list was issued, they began to prepare to buy an industry in the Huaxia Imperial City, and they have been running on the road for the past few months, so naturally they don't know the situation of the unification of the world. However, notices had already been posted inside the Huaxia Imperial City, informing the people of the world about the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, as well as the decrees promulgated by the new emperor.
Lin Xuan was still moving forward slowly, and he was giving the time he was giving those officials in the Imperial City to prepare. After all, royal etiquette is always so cumbersome, and Lin Xuan doesn't want to step over from the feudal society in one step now, so he has to give those people time to take over.
When he entered the city, Lin Xuan found that the palace was halfway up the mountainside, only to see that from the gate of the city, there was a small palace on the halfway of the Longji Peak, and Lin Xuan's eyesight could naturally see that there was a plaque on the outer wall of the palace, which read: Human Palace. Looking at the tens of thousands of steps at the entrance of the palace from the foot of the mountain, Lin Xuan couldn't help but mourn for those ministers for a few seconds, thinking that it would be very effective for those officials to climb the mountain and exercise. There is also a circle of mansions around the foothills, and now there are many mansions that are inhabited, Lin Xuan knows that it is the residence of the ministers, and he thinks that they are also the mansions they choose according to their official ranks, and they will neither lose face nor exceed the etiquette system.
The pattern of the entire imperial city is very clear, relying on the Longji Peak to build, there is an immortal chasi on the top of the Longji Peak, there will be three Jindan monks sitting in it, halfway up the mountain is the human palace, and around the foot of the mountain are the mansions of officials at all levels, these mansions are not fixed, if the officials leave their posts or are transferred to other places, then the mansions need to be relocated.
Then to the south of the official's mansion was a large square, on which stood a drum. On both sides of the square are the east and west square cities, the south side is the south fang market, and there is a Taixue Palace in the middle of the south square market and the square. There was a moat outside the city, and there were two water veins running through the north, south, east and west inside the city, and the residence of the Praetorian Guards was outside the city. At this time, Lin Xuan had already seen that there were already many wine shops, inns and Fengyue places on both sides of the water vein.
When Lin Xuan saw those Fengyue places, he couldn't help but think of a joke in his previous life: in ancient times, sleeping with other people's wives was to dip in pig cages, and it was fashionable to visit Qinglou. Now it is fashionable to sleep with other people's wives, and you will go to jail if you visit a green house. In ancient times, when you went to the Qinglou, the girl would make you a cup of tea and say: Don't be anxious, let the little girl play a song for you. Now when you go to the clubhouse, you will be urged to hurry up and don't delay the old lady's time.
Cough! Throwing out the messy thoughts in his mind, Lin Xuan took a cursory look, and nearly half of the houses in the Huaxia Imperial City had been sold. There is a housing management department in the imperial city, and the houses in the entire imperial city are not sold permanently, but the right to use them, and the first phase of the ten years, the first phase of the ordinary lot needs one million taels of silver, the first phase of the lot near the water is one and a half million taels of silver, and the first phase of the lot near the official's mansion is two million taels. This idea is of course Lin Xuan's suggestion to Zhao Xizhi, after all, there are only so many houses in the entire Imperial City, if they are sold permanently, later people will have no chance to squeeze into the circle of the Imperial City. At the beginning, Zhao Xizhi was worried that the price was too expensive, but now that she heard Lin Xuan say that half of it had been sold, she was relieved at the moment, and the money in her hand would be the first entry from her treasury!
After the news that the Seven Kingdoms were unified and the capital was set in the Imperial City became known, the houses in the Imperial City would usher in a peak! After all, being able to occupy a house in the Imperial City would be a manifestation of a family's wealth and status.
Lin Xuan flew in the air, and he had already seen that many officials were gathering in front of the human palace on the steps of the mountain range. Because it was an uphill staircase, the sedan chair was not easy to use, so those officials could only climb up step by step. It's okay to be younger, but it's older Lin Xuan touched his nose, this is a problem! It seems that a small teleportation array will have to be arranged at the foot of the mountain in the future, so that those who are old, have important state affairs to report, and have major merits can directly access the Human Palace, maybe this can also be set as a kind of glory?
Lin Xuan was observing the situation in the city while exchanging these small thoughts with Zhao Xizhi, and Zhao Xizhi was naturally willing. It's just that the teleportation array matter, and he has to wait for Lin Xuan to let a few of his brothers and sisters come over. At that moment, he took out the transmission note of Jin Zu and said his little request.
Lin Xuan waited until the officials in the small square outside the palace had almost gathered, and then flew over with Zhao Xizhi. At this time, the officials, palace guards, and palace maids in the small square outside the palace had already lined up and prepared the emperor's honor guard. Lin Xuan took Zhao Xizhi off the flying sword, took a step back, and let Zhao Xizhi out.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" everyone bowed.
"Zhongqing is flat. ”
Because she was the empress, Zhao Xizhi dismissed all the eunuchs in the palace, leaving only some palace maids. At this time, Zhao Xizhi suddenly remembered all the exchanges with Lin Xuan these days, and immediately issued a holy decree: In the future, the palace maids and guards in the human palace are not forbidden to talk about love, but they must not defile the court. The children of the two can study in the Taixue Palace, and the tuition fee is borne by the royal family.
As soon as this holy decree came out, the palace ladies and the soldiers of the Royal Praetorian Guard all knelt and kowtowed, this time it was no longer the majesty of the emperor, but the sincere thanks and convincing to Zhao Xizhi.
Zhao Xizhi moved to the human palace, before Zhao Xizhi came back, no one dared to enter this palace, the palace maids and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard all lived and lived outside the human palace.
However, when Zhao Xizhi entered the palace, she was blocked by a layer of colorful brilliance. When Lin Xuan saw this, he slapped his forehead and said to Zhao Xizhi: "Your Majesty first sacrifices the Human Emperor Sword and the Human Emperor Seal! The Human Emperor Palace, the Human Emperor Sword, and the Human Emperor Seal are one, among which the Human Emperor Sword is the formation center of the entire Imperial City, and the Human Emperor Seal is the formation core of the Human Emperor Palace. The first time you activate these formations, you need to sacrifice your sword and seal. I have already taught His Majesty how to use the Human Emperor Sword and the Human Emperor Seal before. ”
Only then did Zhao Xizhi understand why she was blocked, and she was silently reciting the mantra in her heart, and suddenly a sword and a seal flew out of Zhao Xizhi's body, exuding colorful brilliance respectively. The multicolored light of the human emperor's seal echoed the colorful light of the human palace, and suddenly the colorful light curtain of the human palace cracked a gap.
Zhao Xizhi suddenly felt something, looked up at the bottom of the mountain, and saw that as the light of the Human Emperor Sword flickered, the entire Imperial City began to emit a trace of colorful brilliance, gradually combining with the light of the Human Emperor Sword. Everyone saw a colorful light shield covering the entire city inside, and then all the buildings disappeared again, only the Human Emperor Sword was still shining, and then the Human Emperor Sword flew above the main hall of the Human Emperor Palace on its own and inserted it.
At this time, those rich people knew why the houses in the imperial city were only sold for the right to use, and they turned out to be the treasures of the immortal family. Suddenly, the officials of the Housing Management Department were even busier. There are those who can't wait to choose a good location, those who want to extend their time, those who want to sell another property, and so on.
After Zhao Xizhi saw that the palace was opened, he sent most of the palace maids and soldiers everywhere, leaving only one palace maid who had been close to him since he was a child and walked to the main hall, followed by all the ministers.
Lin Xuan flew to the Immortal Division, he was going to see the guards of the Immortal Division, after all, now Zhao Xizhi is his own woman, if the people of the Immortal Division are unwilling to cooperate with Zhao Xizhi's work, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
At the door of the Immortal Chasi, Lin Xuan unexpectedly saw Wen Jianhe and Shui Canghai and another Jin Dan he didn't know. When the three of them saw Lin Xuan coming up, they all stepped forward to greet him: "The disciple has seen the ancestor. ”
"Hehe, it turned out to be Brother Wen and Brother Shui, I have said before, when there is no one, everyone can talk to each other as equals. Who is this one?" Lin Xuan turned his head to look at the monk he didn't know. It's just that it looks a little similar to Shui Canghai, thinking that it should be Shui Canghai's brother or something!
Shui Canghai introduced: "This one is a cousin of my own family, Shui Canglan, and our family is fortunate to have two immortal cultivators. Because we are familiar with our ancestors, Shui Zu sent us. ”
"That's hard work, I will stay in the Human Palace for a while, but after I go out to practice, I will ask the three of you to take care of Xizhi's family. Lin Xuan clasped his fists and saluted.
"Master Ancestor said with a smile, this is a matter of duty, and there is a small Juyuan Array under the Immortal Chasi, and it is also very beneficial for the cultivation of the three of us to be on duty here. Wen Jianxing hurriedly said.
Several people exchanged some cultivation experiences, and seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xuan took his leave and returned to the Human Palace.
In this way, Lin Xuan lived a period of shameless life in the Human Palace, until one day, Zhao Xizhi said to Lin Xuan with a red face: "Brother Xuan, the other person hasn't been here for a long time. ”
"Huh?" Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xizhi's wrist, probed it with his vitality, and said happily: "Xizhi, you are going to be a mother." ”
"Ah~" Zhao Xizhi screamed in surprise, and gently stroked her stomach, and an emotion called maternal love was instantly revealed.
