Chapter 61: The Imperial City
In a moment, the corners of Lingxi's lips raised a gentle arc, and he jumped onto the sword, his feet according to what the silver they taught, and he pointed at the sword spine and rain sword grid one after the other.
"Lingxi?" Bai Junqian called out to Lingxi.
"Master, I think I can take the sword myself. Lingxi looked at Bai Junqian's worried eyes and said.
However, Bai Junqian seemed to want to say something, but the spirit had already spread to give him this opportunity.
As Lingxi shouted the word "Hongluan" again, the crimson sword suddenly cut through the moist air and the falling raindrops, flashing a red light in mid-air, carrying the rain into the distance, and her body stood firmly on the sword.
- I didn't expect that this sword would act with the master's consciousness, and it seems that the aura possessed by this sword is not possessed by ordinary swords.
"Lingxi!" Bai Junqian and Xin hurriedly caught up with their edgeworth.
Two hours later, they arrived at the Imperial City.
"Lingxi. The three of them turned their heads sideways, looking at Lingxi, who was gradually starting to land.
And Lingxi, who landed very safely, was more or less surprised, looking at the sword that returned to its scabbard by itself, she was a little emotional.
I thought that Bai Junqian's sword speed was already very fast, and Xin and Shun were generally left behind by more than ten zhang, but Lingxi caught up with Bai Junqian, the position behind him.
This surprised Bai Junqian, but he couldn't care about it so much.
They have come to the Imperial City.
This imperial city is the most prosperous city in the Yu Kingdom for thousands of years, and it is the capital of the Yu Kingdom.
Compared with the capital of the Naying Kingdom, it has been called and engraved in the mouth of the world from time to time a long time ago.
And the Imperial City is not allowed to be edgeworthy. So after Bai Junqian and their imperial sword arrived in the imperial city, they had to enter through the mall gate since ancient times.
With a rattling sound, the group walked along the Olive Road into the West Market, and saw all kinds of carriages, counting the boxes, calling for companions, and shouting one after another.
It's almost a mixture.
It seemed that the shadows made sense to guide them through this side, and the group had changed their clothes outside the city.
Coming to Lam Road, there is a wide intersection on both sides, with shops on both sides of the east, west, south and north lines.
From cloth shops and porcelain shops to inns and musical instrument shops...... Everything but the kitchen sink.
The banners of each house were hung high, and flags were waved one after another, almost covering the sky over the entire wide alley.
The shops were different from the other towns they had visited, they were much more ornate and the goods they sold looked much better.
And the black shadow didn't know where it went, but now it suddenly popped out and returned to a costume, just like ordinary people.
"Please come with us. ”
Bai Junqian looked at them, and almost didn't recognize them. Until they saw the crown on their wrists.
"Why are you so cautious?" Lingxi wondered.
So Bai Junqian told her.
From the beginning of entering the market, it is expected to be observed.
The watchtower is a wooden black lacquered pavilion, more than eight feet high, standing in the center of the mouth of the West Market, on which you can overlook the movement of the entire market.
Upstairs were the palace's carefully selected guards, who were at least in the Jindan period, so they could detect most of the movements in the city.
The same is true if you enter through several other gates.
Of course, they may not have been seen yet.
- Is it true that things in the Imperial City are already so serious?
Until they came to a majestic mansion in the suburbs, the plaque had four words "Chongming Villa" written on it, and the dark red wooden door had been opened inward.
On the stone steps in front of the door, a Peugeot woman dressed in purple stood quietly in the rain with a sandalwood umbrella in her hand, with a soft smile on the corner of her mouth.
The rain hits the umbrella and merges into a trickle and falls.
And Bai Junqian drew an enchantment for himself, as well as Xin, Shun, and Lingxi, to resist the rain of ordinary enchantments.
It's like there's a layer of transparency that wraps the transparent, and the raindrops are kept out by this layer of transparency.
This is also the reason why Bai Junqian's cultivation is slightly higher in order to do this. After all, Edgeworth is already very spiritually draining, and it would be difficult to maintain another spell all the time.
If you're not careful, your spiritual power won't be enough halfway, and it's normal for Edgeworth to fall.
"Aren't you Yuechen's apprentice Ziyan?" Bai Junqian asked.
After Xin and Shun took a closer look, they also found out.
"Please follow me. The woman named Purple Smoke said in a gentle voice.
So Bai Junqian lowered his guard and walked in, and Xin and Shun also took a deep breath and walked in.
After a while, when I walked to a hall, I saw several figures, and Chang Yuechen was also among them.
First, a person who claimed to be the eldest grandson walked forward, his figure was extremely burly, and a voice like a drum came from the flamboyant beard, and even the ground trembled slightly.
"The old man has been stationed abroad for many years, and now he has just returned to the DPRK. He arched his hand.
Although there has been no war with the Ying Kingdom for many years, what Shangguan Xing has to do is to exorcise those demon cultivators who want to sneak into the Yu Kingdom and do evil at the junction of the Yu Kingdom and the Ying Kingdom.
"This is an old military general in the center of the imperial court. Seeing that Bai Junqian had some doubts, Chang Yuechen explained.
Immediately, there were several men who looked like ministers, old and young, and after seeing Bai Junqian and them, their faces were more or less timid.
Chang Yuechen immediately smiled, approached Bai Junqian and them, and then owed a debt to the middle-aged men: "This is my junior brother, and I am also the master of the prince of Chongming, and I called him to rescue Chongming with us." ”
As soon as the middle-aged men heard the words "Master of the Chongming Prince", they immediately withdrew their timidity in front of them and turned to Bai Junqian respectfully.
"Okay, then I'll tell you what's going on. Chang Yuechen said politely at all, after all, the situation is really critical now.
Hearing this, Bai Junqian approached, and then saw a huge imperial city sand table on the bookcase.
The outer Guo city wall pinched by red clay, the wall of the fang market pinched by yellow beeswax, the one hundred and eight squares and twenty-five eldest sisters are arranged as neatly as a chessboard, and even the winding alleys and canals in the square are exquisite.
Of course, only the one that took the palace was blank.
"......" Bai Junqian's face couldn't help but become solemn.
Then I heard those courtiers continue to talk and discuss on their own-
"Although the old man has not entered the palace for many years, the style of Beijing must be very different from what he remembers. But the route of the face saint is still roughly remembered. When the old man attacked last time, he took this route, and the most guards were naturally here. ”
Changsun Xing said as he stretched out his hand to point out the route on the map.
A man next to him wearing a narrow-sleeved robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist said: his face was round and big, and he said, "Lord Eldest Sun is right. But the last time the eldest grandson went to the palace to report on his work and face the saint, of course he walked a magnificent avenue. But here, here, and there are also access to the palace, and there are almost all the guards. ”
Then the old man caught them all. Changsun Xing seemed to be a little impatient with what he said, "And this front is just handed over to the old man, you mainly see how to rescue the Chongming prince who is locked up in the harem." ”
"But the person who arranged for the palace ......"
