Zhou Gan didn't say anything along the way, he followed his father closely, Zhou Zhen paid attention to the movements around him from time to time, did not speak, and did not remind Zhou Qian to pay attention to anything, just like that, the father was in front and the son was behind. Although it seems a little strange, it seems that there is already a communication in the hearts of this father and son.

Now that he is halfway through the road, he encounters some pedestrians on the road from time to time, they are simply dressed, their complexions are a little dark, and they are obviously ordinary people, which is in stark contrast to him, the young master in brocade. Zhou Qian saw that his father was not wearing a brocade hat and Huaqiu, and he didn't look like a general at all, only he was too ostentatious here, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and he thought of changing the imperial city to an ordinary and simple one...

In addition to the royal family in the Tianze Empire, there are some other forces, among which the most influential are only the four major families, namely the Zhou family, the Shangguan family, the Helian family, and the Qu family.

These four clans are second only to the royal family, and there will be some friction with each other, the Zhou family and the Helian family have differences due to the management of the army, and they slowly become contradictions, and in the end, no matter what the Helian family does, as long as it is opposite to the Zhou family. never agreed with the Zhou family's proposal, and then the two families had a grudge. Although it is not a life-and-death feud, as long as the other party suffers, it is considered a victory.

As for the Shangguan family, it is the richest family in Tianze, with a lot of wealth, and an auction house, which can be described as rich and rivals the country, and even whenever the treasury is empty, the royal family will ask the Shangguan family to sponsor it. It can be said that the Shangguan family has the most special status among the four major families.

The Qu family has never been involved in the family power, but only blindly inherits the family business - refining. There is a lot of dignity in this area, and there is an endless stream of people who come here to ask for weapons, but this clan has a principle, and only one spirit realm divine weapon will be forged every three years! And each one is different, even the royal family can't break this principle, as for why, the Qu family only said four words - three spirits and one creation!

Zhou Gan already has a little understanding of some of the situations of these forces, Zhou Qian has no good impression of the Helian family, the family reason is one of the reasons, the matter of the barren mountain is the second, if the Helian family also has a clansman to go to the land of the sea this time, he will not let the other party take advantage of it, it is best to return in vain.

Zhou Qian just thought like this in his heart, and didn't say a word about his father, but with his understanding of his father, as long as his father didn't say anything to pay attention to, it meant that he was free and didn't have to scruples.

After a long time, it was getting late, Zhou Qian couldn't help but feel a little tired, and was about to take a nap, but suddenly a city wall appeared faintly in front of him, lying in front of him, boundless east and west, although some wind and dust and fog obscured, but still majestic, looking like a dormant dragon from a distance, shocking all directions.

Zhou Qian suddenly came to his senses, swept away his previous tiredness, slapped Da Bai suddenly, and walked away towards the city wall, even surpassing Zhou Zhen.

"Is this the Imperial City, I'm here Zhou Qian!"

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Zhou Qian sighed with emotion, and had a deep awareness of the royal family in his heart, compared to the Zhou family, this imperial city is indeed extremely brilliant, although Zhou Qian has also seen some of the walls of the Zhou family, which can be compared with this imperial city, it is like a cloud and mud.

Zhou Zhen's expression was solemn, and he followed Zhou Qian closely, it seemed that he was thinking all the way, as for what to think, no one knows, he is not good at words, and he is even more doting on Zhou Gan, he sighed at this moment, and looked at the city wall firmly.

"It's... It's the Imperial City!"

Zhou Qian gasped and said in surprise. He has come to the imperial city, the feeling is even stronger, this city wall is dozens of zhang high, the vicissitudes of life are simple, full of heavy meaning, there are sword marks and sword lines on it, some places have long been broken, as if they have experienced the baptism of war, in the face of it, there is a kind of face of thousands of troops and horses galloping, pressing people shortness of breath.

"What's the daze, hurry into the city, don't make people wait. ”

Zhou Zhen scolded, frightened Zhou Gan, hurriedly dismounted, and walked to the place where there was only one gate, the city gate was red all over, and the city wall was as high, the closer he got, the more he could smell a trace of blood. At this moment, the city gate was closed, only two soldiers stood in front of the city gate, the wind could not blow, and the rain could not leave.

Zhou Gan took a closer look, these two soldiers were full of murderous aura, and their cultivation was even more terrifying, Zhou Gan had the oppression of facing Zhang Feng on his body, which was the cultivation at the peak of the mortal realm! Even the soldiers defending the city were so strong, they deserved to be the imperial city.

Zhou Qian became honest and followed behind his father.

"Meet Zhou Shuai, the six princes reminded Zhou Shuai to go to the palace, and he doesn't have to go to the place he originally agreed, please forgive me. ”

One of them bowed to Zhou Zhen and said respectfully.

"Oh~ Since it was the sixth prince who personally explained, Ben Shuai went directly to the palace, thank you for reminding me. ”

Zhou Zhen hesitated slightly, there was no surprise on the surface, but there was a trace of worry in his heart, could it be that there was an accident in this trip, or....

Zhou Zhen didn't guess, took Zhou Qian into the imperial city, as soon as he entered, Zhou Qian was shocked by the scene in front of him, on the central axis of this city gate, endlessly extended, there was a magnificent huge palace above it There was a purple beam of light, straight into the sky, earth-shattering.

In this city, the crowd comes and goes densely, the clothes are gorgeous, the status is noble, and the surrounding buildings are gold bricks and jade tiles, showing the royal atmosphere.

"Dad, is there all the children of the royal family in this imperial city?"

Zhou Qian looked at the grandeur of the people around him and asked in a low voice.

"Seven out of ten are members of the royal family, and there are some wealthy businessmen and nobles, what, you, I'm afraid. Zhou Zhen waved his sleeves, and suddenly Zhou Qian was clever, his eyes swept over the people around him, with a hint of arrogance.

"Zhou Shuai, why are you here, I will prepare wine and food immediately to catch the wind and wash the dust for you. ”

A young man in a purple and gold robe bowed to Zhou Zhen with a fist.

"Yes, Zhou Shuai, my master has also prepared a banquet, just waiting for you to come!" Another person bowed and invited Zhou Zhen.

"Zhou Shuai, there is still ......"

The people around seemed to be surrounding their father and son, Zhou Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect his father to be so popular, and he pretended to be not good at words.

"That, everyone's kindness is handsome, there is indeed something important today, another day, everyone will stay Zhou, I will never shirk. ”

Zhou Zhen seems to have been accustomed to such a situation for a long time, and he doesn't want to explain more, and the more he talks, the more chaotic it becomes.

But they were still warmly invited, and they didn't think about giving up at all, and finally Zhou Zhen was helpless and took out a golden token, everyone was silent, with bitter faces, and the father and son got rid of the hospitality of these people.

"Remember, people who are good to you will not talk about being good to you, you have to remember!"

Zhou Zhen glanced at his excited son, and a basin of cold water was splashed down. After saying that, he went straight to the huge palace, that is, the royal palace.

Zhou Qian followed closely behind, carefully watching the palace.

The palace was extremely handsome, and very high, with nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. There are a total of five halls, nine palaces, into the momentum of the arch guard, implicitly in line with the meaning of the ninety-five supreme.

Zhou Qian knew that he was going to the Tianling Hall of the Purple Dome Palace, this hall is located in the five halls, it is an extremely important hall, second only to the Tianze Hall of the Xuanji Palace, Zhou Qian looked at this hall cautiously, there are two purple jade pillars outside the hall door, and there is a five-clawed golden dragon hovering on it, showing a majestic state.

Zhou Qian looked at one of the golden dragons, there was a sense of kindness in his heart, so he stepped forward and stroked its golden scales, Zhou Qian had never seen this legendary beast, some had only learned about it from the classics, and he was shocked to see it with his own eyes, although it was a carved golden dragon.

Zhou Zhen didn't pay attention to his son's curiosity, and walked directly into the palace alone, leaving Zhou Gan alone curiously stroking the stone dragon outside the palace.

"It's a pity, it's not a real dragon, you can't play with me like Xiaobai, huh? No, this road is too quiet, Xiaobai, my God, Xiaobai... Lost?"

Zhou Qian only realized that Xiaobai was not by his side now, and he was lost for a while, but after thinking about it, with Xiaobai's spirituality, he would not disappear for no reason, and he must have something to do, which is very similar to me, and he will be back in a while, Zhou Qian hinted in his heart.

Zhou Qian played around for a while, he felt bored, and was about to leave and enter the Tianling Palace, but the moment he turned around, the corner of his eye saw that the stone dragon actually blinked his eyes, which frightened Zhou Gan for a while, his scalp was numb, and there seemed to be countless thunderbolts roaring in his mind.

"Dad, there is a demon here, I saw that dragon wink at me just now, it's a monster!

As soon as Zhou Gan entered the main hall, he shouted, but found that there was silence in the hall, and the group was looking at him in unison, he couldn't help but stop shouting, his face was red, he smiled awkwardly, and immediately walked to his father's side, stood behind him, without saying a word, but there was still shock in his heart, but at this time, Zhou Gan had to temporarily suppress it.

Zhou Qian took a deep breath and looked carefully at the people in this hall, in addition to their father and son, there were five people in this hall, three middle-aged and two teenagers, one of whom was middle-aged and dressed in a white brocade robe, with many carvings on it, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which showed that his status was noble, but it made people look but not arrogant, he was very kind, and he looked at himself with a smile, not a mockery, but a smile. Zhou Qian understood at this time that this might be the head of the Shangguan family!

And the other two middle-aged people each have a teenager by their side, thinking that they came with their father like Zhou Qian.

It was obvious that Zhou Qian could see at a glance that the person in black clothes was the head of the Helian family! Because he was the farthest away from Zhou Zhen, there was a hint of ridicule when he looked at him. This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is domineering, as if he is superior. The most conspicuous thing is that there is a black eagle on its shoulder, with black wings and white claws, and a pair of black eyes are turning sharply, as if searching for something. And the young man beside him was five points similar to him, also in black clothes, about the same age as him, and seemed to be only seven or eight years old, his expression was indifferent, unapproachable, and seemed to be born to reject people thousands of miles away.

The last middle-aged man is very enthusiastic, when Zhou Qian came, he counted him as the highest, he was dressed in a fiery red fat robe, he was a sturdy man, with a rough appearance, a very loud voice, like the sound of wind and thunder, and his arms were slightly convex, as if full of strength.

It can be determined that only perennial refining weapons can have such a physique, he is the head of the Qu family! The young man beside him, who is a little fat, and his skin is slightly darker than ordinary people, at this time his expression is strange, with a hint of reluctance, but if he looks closely, his right hand is tightly grasped by the man, and it seems that he can't leave it for half a step.

"Brother Zhou, Ling Lang's appearance is different, another Zhuo is an eye-opener, haha..."

As soon as the head of the Helian family opened his mouth, he didn't show kindness, wanting to make Zhou Zhen ugly.

"Hmph, of course the son of Ben Shuai is extraordinary, your eyes are not good, your eyes are really about to be opened, what, do you Helian Zhuo think that with an eagle, you can open your eyes?"

"You, what did you say? you...."

Helian Zhuo's face was flushed, he was speechless for a while, his eyes were hurt, although he was not blind, but he was still not as good as ordinary people, others did not dare to mention it in front of him, only Zhou Zhen deliberately sarcastic at the moment, at this moment, Zhou Zhen would not show him mercy, insulting his son, that is, insulting him, if it was elsewhere, Zhou Zhen would even take action and give him a warning.

Zhou Qian didn't speak at the moment, and the black-clothed young man's face changed, and when he looked at Zhou Gan, he seemed to see prey, with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Don't quarrel over trivial things, in front of children, adults should set an example, don't be like this, don't be like this. The head of the Qu family persuaded Zhou Zhen and Helian Zhuo.

Helian Zhuo flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around, and was further away from Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen hugged his fist at the head of the Qu family and said sorry, and then the two chatted, as for the head of the Shangguan family who did not speak at the moment, the Helian family did not approach him, but did not have a good impression when they looked at him. This couldn't help but make Zhou Qian wonder.

"I've kept you waiting, I'm too late for the main hall!"

Just when Zhou Qian was puzzled, a mighty and majestic voice came from this hall...
