Chapter 1 The prince enters the heavenly capital

"Your Highness, we have arrived. ”

Gu Changting's voice came from outside the carriage, and after Su Hanshan heard the sound, he lifted the curtain, and a magnificent and prosperous giant city in his sight slowly approached him.

Su Hanshan's eyes showed a complicated color: "This is Tiandu!"

Starting from Daliang City, the Dao halls of the Heaven Replenishing Sect were responsible for taking turns to take over the safety along the way, and the Sutang border had been traveling for more than a month and more than 40 days, and no more assassinations were encountered, and the road was calm, and finally arrived at the Imperial City safely and securely at this winter solstice.

......

The north wind is strong, and the sky is high and the clouds are wide.

Grassy plains.

In the convoy escorted by the Heaven Replenishing Sect, Su Hanshan looked at the Tiandu that was getting closer and closer, and his mood at the moment was a little expectant and a little excited.

Here are his closest relatives whose blood is thicker than water, his father and emperor, his half-brother Su Yunchan who has never met but has never met, and half-brothers and sisters.

This is his hometown, and he will put down roots here. The fifteen-year experience of the Southern Dynasty has really become a thing of the past, and looking back, I don't know what year, month, and when.

He suddenly felt lonely.

I think of the master and empty monk in Taohuashan Temple, the many big and small monks in the National Temple, and the yellow clothes and Qin Wuyang who are still missing for more than a month...... Su Hanshan couldn't help but stroke the painting box beside him.

The crown prince Li Tianxia rubbed Su Hanshan with his shoulder: "When I get home, why do you still look sad." ”

Chu Nanzhao quipped: "Maybe it's because of the closer homesickness is more timid." ”

The old man Huangmei, who had willow branches stuck in his hair on the chessboard, stretched his waist: "Now that you have arrived in Tiandu, the old man should also get out of the car to relax his muscles." ”

Su Hanshan was a little reluctant: "Senior, do you want to leave?"

The old man Huangmei said: "What, do you really want me to go? The old man has been a thug all the way before and after the saddle, and he has lost weight from leaving the grass pond, and he has not caught any benefits, so you have to drive the old man away? You little ...... without conscience."

Su Hanshan and Li Tianxia looked at each other and smiled.

Old man Huangmei said again: "Don't worry." At least until you make up for your body, even if you drive the old man away, the old man won't leave. It's just a rare trip to the old place in Jiazi Nian to meet a few old friends in the capital who have not died. You enter the city first, and the old man will find you after he has wandered around. ”

After saying that, he got out of the carriage.

Chu Nanzhao also got up and said, "I'll get off here too." In three months, the beginning of spring next year will be the enrollment of Sutang Daomen, and I will find a place to stay in the city to join in the fun. If you are bored in the palace, come to me. ”

Su Hanshan hugged his fist at Chu Nanzhao: "Definitely." ”

Only Li Tianxia was left in the carriage, and Su Hanshan looked at the prince of the Southern Dynasty in surprise: "What about you?"

Li Tianxia hugged his sword and said: "This prince visited Sutang on behalf of the Li family's Southern Dynasty, so he won't even be allowed to enter the palace gate, right?"

Su Hanshan said: "No, I think you still enter the palace with me." The sky is not as good as Gusu City, but not everyone respects you when you are the prince of the Southern Dynasty, at least in the palace, there will be no less treatment for you. If you follow your temperament, you may compete with that boy in the city and cause trouble. ”

Li Tianxia smiled and said: "Why, this prince has covered you for fifteen years, and now that you are here in the heavenly capital, the Nine Emperors can't protect Li Tianxia for three months?"

Su Hanshan sighed.

Li Tianxia said: "It's still Huangmei's predecessor who is right. ”

Su Hanshan was puzzled: "What?"

"You're such a little conscienceless!"

......

The Nine Emperors of the Sutang Empire lived in the Southern Dynasty for a long time, and there were occasional Zen names that came to Sutang. In particular, the Buddha clothes conference presided over by Li Tianxia before March to answer Zen, it was even more brilliant and widely spread.

Therefore, many people in the Su and Tang dynasties secretly gave this little prince who grew up in the Southern Dynasty a nickname of Zen, which shows the extent of his audience.

Now that the news of the arrival of the Nine Emperor Princes Su Hanshan in Tiandu is spreading, whether it is the people in the city or those who only know how to chant poetry and fight wine all day long, and have nothing to do to look for flowers and ask willows, or the famous ladies and many Taoist disciples, they can't wait to see Su Hanshan's true face, and they have already waited for a long time on the way to enter the palace through the city gate.

Among them are some of the big names.

The convoy entered the Imperial City.

When the soldiers at the city gate saw a group of Heaven Replenishing Sect members and dozens of elite horsemen escorting carriages passing by, they all stood in awe. One by one, their eyes moved slowly as the convoy drove slowly, hooking their eyes, unwilling to take a moment off, trying to catch a touch of the Nine Emperors' faces from under the curtain occasionally lifted by the north wind.

In order to satisfy the curiosity of the people of Su and Tang, Li Tianxia, the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, simply lifted the curtain and waved enthusiastically to both sides of the clean bluestone street.

Of course, the main objects of his eyebrows are the young women who are far away from the crowd in the pavilion: "It seems that this prince is quite popular." ”

Su Hanshan smiled, and also looked through the curtain of the car at the many people in front of him who took the initiative to get out of the way.

Looking at the lovely faces, my heart warms slightly.

These are his people.

......

Outside the carriage, Gu Changting, who never left the Qiutang knife, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the three-hundred-mile killing game against the Nine Emperor Princes outside Daliang City, I still have lingering palpitations.

Now that it is a successful transaction, he doesn't have to strain his nerves all day long, and he is extremely cautious.

However, thinking about the future situation and position, in the center of Su Tang's power, many troubles inevitably came to my brows.

He glanced at his senior brother Yang Xumei on the other side.

The spear Yang has eyebrows, his eyes staring ahead, and he can't take his eyes off it. His straight figure is like the gun behind him, and he would rather bend than bend.

Gu Changting sighed.

He has always taken his senior brother as an example, and joined the army after leaving Tiance Mansion, thinking that he could be like his senior brother, being a husband who ignores the affairs of the court and is dedicated to fighting the frontier, worthy of the monarch of heaven and earth. But only now did he realize that he still only imitated the form of his senior brother, and could never imitate his brother's intentions, and became a real and pure battlefield man.

As a member of the Gu family and as Gu Xidao's nephew, this may be the path he is destined to take.

......

There was the sound of iron armor in front of the street.

A young man who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a bookish way, led two long rows of tall horses of Tianduwei towards the convoy.

Su Hanshan looked at the man from a distance, looking at the smiling face, and his heart was inexplicably kind.

So at the front of the team, the blue-robed archbishop of the Mending Heaven Sect, who was responsible for escorting the Nine Emperor Princes back to the city, raised his hand and signaled the convoy to stop.

"Your Majesty's dictation. ”

"Your Majesty's Dictation ......"

The bookish young man sang aloud.

Behind him, the Tiandu Guard and its orderly array of sides cleared all the people along the way, completely vacating the flat avenue.

The people who retreated to both sides of the street knelt down one after another, and even the Archbishop of the green robe, Gu Changting, Yang Xumei and other people in the convoy dismounted one after another to listen to the holy message.

Su Hanshan and Li Tianxia glanced at each other, their faces full of inexplicability.
