Chapter Seventy-Three: The Night Imperial Capital

On the way from Liyuan Mountain Villa to Cangye, although Nian Nian and Zhu Mei had little contact with people, they also heard some news about the entire continent.

The Night Empire once dominated the continent hundreds of years ago, and the ninth monarch of the empire was even more memorable for generations with his ferocity and cruelty, iron-blooded ruthlessness, and even finally led to the punishment of heavenly fire. And whenever I hear these stories, I will pout my lips indifferently in my heart every year: Since you dare to talk about Brother Night like this, it's really unusual! Brother Night is so good, how could he do such a heartbreaking thing.

But as four hundred years passed, the royal family of the Night Empire gradually declined, the talents withered, the strength was not as strong as before, and it was no longer able to control the vast continent, so the princes divided one side, and then became completely independent. For example, today's four points: Cangye, Zhu Ri, Yuancheng, Baimo. Therefore, in fact, Cangye can no longer be commensurate with the empire, but the great title that has been passed down for many years still makes Cangye people, especially the older generation, faintly proud and glorious in their voices when they say their names. This also explains why after hearing that Bai Mo sent a princess with a high status to make peace this time, the whole country was so jubilant for a while.

Nian Nian gently lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the huge silhouette of the building in the twilight, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally arrived.

Although it was not early at this time, the queue into the city was still long, and the two of them sat honestly in the carriage to avoid people. Zhu Mei was tired after using the burning spirit, leaned in the carriage and fell asleep, staring at her for a while, and a faint trace of melancholy appeared on her delicate little face.

If my sister can't get rid of the demon barrier in her heart, then it will still be dangerous to encounter such a thing again in the future, although I can barely stop her with all my might, but that is when my sister still has a trace of reason. Take today as an example, if she didn't recognize herself at the last moment and suddenly attacked, she would definitely not be able to parry any of her attacks.

Nian Nian sighed depressedly, and once again regretted that he didn't practice immortal magic and immortal magic in Chuanshan, and blindly played, but the gap between him and Zhu Mei was too big, and she couldn't stop her at the critical moment.

Zhu Mei's state is unstable, and she is almost certain at this moment, once she encounters something that reminds her of the tragic scene in Liyuan Mountain Villa a hundred years ago, she will not be able to control the resentment in her heart, and walk in the crowded world with such an almost time bomb person, is this decision really right?

But what if you don't want this? Do you want to send my sister back to the valley of Chuanshan and Langu? Nian Nian shook his head, trying to throw the messy thoughts out of his mind, and at this time he suddenly heard the shouts of the soldiers guarding the city, and Nian Nian hurriedly woke up Zhu Mei, and the two of them got out of the car together for inspection.

In fact, it was not so strict in the past, but now the happy event in the city is approaching, and a large number of people are pouring into the capital, so the security of the capital has become particularly important, after all, if you let people with bad intentions enter the capital at this time, once there is danger, let the envoys of other countries see that their jokes are small, and if you accidentally hurt some heavyweight and cause a war between countries, it will be troublesome.

The two jumped out of the car, still veiled on their faces. The soldiers defending the city looked the two of them up and down, lifted the curtain and looked inside the carriage, before turning to them and asking, "Where are you from?"

Nian Nian replied first: "We are from the northernmost village, and we have come to the imperial capital to visit relatives." ”

The soldiers defending the city were slightly surprised, as if they didn't expect that such two young girls actually came from the far north, seeing that the two of them were slender, although they were veiled, their eyes were clear, not like bad people, so their eyes softened slightly, and they took a step to the side and waved their hands, "Go over, next." ”

Nian Nian was overjoyed, and after paying the coachman's silver taels, he happily pulled Zhu Mei into the city.

After working hard for nearly a month, they finally arrived at the imperial capital, and both of them were a little relaxed in their hearts. It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the evening breeze was refreshing, the clouds were hanging high, the two of them walked on the somewhat crowded streets, looking at the endless flow of rivers and hurried footsteps, and there was some emotion in their hearts, this is the prosperous world.

The emperor is worthy of being the imperial capital, compared to the cities they pass through every year, there is an indescribable majesty, and it is full of historical heritage everywhere.

The spacious streets are lined with elegant buildings, and the markets are bustling with people. The aroma of snacks, hawkers' hawkers, all kinds of knick-knacks, and all kinds of shops made the two turn from the initial surprise to the confusion of not knowing where to go.

Nian Nian pulled Zhu Mei's sleeve, "Sister, let's find an inn to live in first, and then we'll come out and have a good look!"

Zhu Mei looked at the excitement in Nian Nian's eyes and nodded dotingly.

The two casually pulled a passer-by and asked where there was an inn nearby and how to get there, the man's eyebrows were a little impatient at first, but after a puzzled look, he politely pointed the way, which couldn't help but make Nian Nian a little happy: "Sister, look, there are still many good people in this imperial capital!"

Zhu Mei glanced at her, "Have you forgotten the people you met in the teahouse before?" If you hadn't taken off your hat nonsense, how could there be such a big mess, you have to be obedient, and you must be steady when you meet people and things." Although Zhu Mei has never left the abyss, she used to be a lady in the villa, and she has a noble status in the closed villa, so she looked at the person's expressions before and after and understood what was going on: the two of them were wearing delicate dresses, although they were slightly embarrassed when they escaped from the teahouse, but the soft clothes were worth a lot at a glance, and the two of them themselves had extraordinary temperaments, so it was a little obvious wherever they went along the way, and they escaped from the city in such a hurry before to come to the imperial capital, and they were also worried that they would be easily recognized if they continued to stay there. And in the imperial capital, it is different, there are many high-ranking and powerful people in the imperial capital, and there are countless wealthy families, and in the bustling street market, you can often meet men and women who are very well dressed and have extraordinary momentum, and the passers-by must think that the two of them are young ladies in the house, at least not ordinary people, and they dare not offend, so they are so polite.

"Yes, I already know I was wrong. Nian Nian Xiao intertwined his hands and whispered.

After walking a short distance, the two saw an inn, which was in the middle of an alley near the main street, and the inn was three stories high, and the plaque stood high, and they jumped into it every year. After almost a month, she is familiar with things such as staying in hotels and eating.

"Boss, stay in a hotel! I want two upper rooms!" Nian Nian's crisp voice sounded in the somewhat congested inn.

The boss stood behind the counter and dialed the abacus, and when he heard the voice, he slowly raised his head and showed a trademark smile: "I'm sorry, this girl, the shop is full, and there is no room left." Girl, let's go look elsewhere. ”

So he walked out dejectedly every year.

An hour later, on a certain long street, a rather helpless sigh sounded: "Oh my God, how many people are staying in the imperial capital, why do we go so many and can't find an inn with a spare room?"

At this time, the sky has begun to darken, and the flow of people on the street is relatively small, but Nian Nian and Zhu Mei are still going around in circles to find a place to stay.

"Don't worry, if you're tired, we'll take a break and look for it, and besides, there's still one that hasn't been there." "Zhu Mei's gentle comfort every year.

Nian Nian rubbed his ankles, and jumped up from the ground with a thud, "Don't stop, don't stop, go to the last one now, what if you are decided by others later!"

After a while, the two of them stood in front of the last inn, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised. The inn is located in a more remote neighborhood with the main entrance in a small alley. Standing here, the bustle and noise of the imperial capital do not seem to exist, and the surroundings are quiet and quiet. There is no huge plaque at the main entrance, and there are no guys who solicit guests, only a wooden door is hidden, and a simple wooden sign hangs next to it: Imperial Capital Inn.

It's too quiet, Nian Nian and Zhu Mei can't believe that this is actually an inn, but they are coming, Nian Nian pushed open the door and walked in with Zhu Mei.
