Chapter 664: Entering the Imperial Capital for the First Time
Could it be that the old man in sackcloth was the lamplighter the Queen mentioned?
Why is it that only I can see the old man in sackcloth, but no one else can.
This made Ding Xiaoyi feel very mysterious. The sinister smile of the old man in sackcloth among the crowd lingered in Ding Xiaoyi's mind like a nightmare.
At that moment, the old man in sackcloth holding the lantern turned into countless fragments and disappeared from Ding Xiaoyi's sight.
Looking at the disappeared old man in sackcloth, Ding Xiaoyi's heart tightened inexplicably.
This old man in sackcloth appeared so strangely, and then disappeared suddenly, giving him a creepy illusion.
"Where is the old man in sackcloth? Mr. Ding, are you blinded?" the little maid muttered to Ding Xiaoyi.
Xue Ningshang and Princess Dayong also showed doubts.
"Let's go." Ding Xiaoyi's mood suddenly became heavy.
The stern smile of the old man in sackcloth still lingered in his mind, and he was coming with bad intentions.
???????????????If the old man in sackcloth is the lamplighter, then the lamplighter should be aiming at him.
However, in his memory, he had never heard of a lamplighter. His master, who was always well-informed, never mentioned the title of lamplighter to him.
Maybe the master has never seen any so-called lamplighter, or maybe the master has something to hide.
After the old man in sackcloth holding the lamp disappeared,
The chill that palpitated in my heart suddenly disappeared, and the feeling of fear that shrouded my heart also disappeared in an instant.
Before Ding Xiaoyi had time to activate the yin and yang wheel to look at the old man in sackcloth, the old man in sackcloth disappeared.
He couldn't feel the cultivation aura of the old man in sackcloth, and naturally he couldn't detect the cultivation level of the old man in sackcloth.
It's possible that the old man in sackcloth had a higher level of cultivation than him, so he couldn't find out.
The appearance of the old man in sackcloth was just a small disturbance, and the man with the lantern did not seem to appear in the following days.
The journey was very peaceful, and no accidents occurred. A few days later, they appeared at the north gate of the imperial capital Yinning.
【In view of the general environment,
If the Great Yong Kingdom is the regional center of the Cangxuan Realm, then the imperial capital Yinning is at the center of the Great Yong Kingdom.
The imperial capital Yinning City is majestic and majestic, like a transcendent giant beast lying in the center of the Great Yong Kingdom.
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the city wall that was several feet high, and he felt ripple-like energy ripples rising out of the city wall.
The city walls are covered with runes, and once these runes are activated, they can produce devastating power.
The queue to enter the city was very long, and everyone who entered the city had to check their identity.
Naturally, Ding Xiaoyi was not worried about not being able to enter the city.
He looked at the city wall carefully. The city wall was made of countless boulders. Each boulder was engraved with runes, and countless runes were connected to each other.
Ding Xiaoyi could clearly feel that the runes on the city wall contained supreme power, which was enough to blast a land god's power into pieces.
Carving runes on every boulder is such a huge project. It can be seen that the heritage of Dayong Yinning is not comparable to that of other cities.
The team moved forward bit by bit, but Princess Dayong was full of worries, while Xue Ningshang was extremely excited.
The little maid also showed a curious and excited expression,
Only Ding Xiaoyi looked calm.
The heritage of the imperial capital Yinning exceeded his imagination.
It seems that the master has not brought him to the imperial capital, but has traveled around the various cities in Dayong Kingdom. He is also full of curiosity about the imperial capital Yinning, but it is just curiosity.
On the city wall stood soldiers with bright armor, and each soldier held an extremely sharp weapon in his hand.
Their eyes are firm and their faces are firm
Their faces were cold and grim, each of the soldiers guarding the city had a fifth or sixth level of cultivation, and they exuded a strong blood-evil aura.
Every soldier guarding the city has experienced the baptism of blood and fire.
??????????????? Their faces are firm and decisive, and their postures are as majestic as a pine tree.
At the entrance of the north city gate, there were also a row of soldiers with bright armors standing there. Their faces were also stern and solemn, and they had an expression of inviolability.
"You guys stop",
A luxury carriage in front of Ding Xiaoyi was allowed to pass, but Ding Xiaoyi and the dilapidated carriage were stopped by a soldier.
Princess Dayong threw a token from the car curtain, which was a token that could only be possessed by the palace courtyard.
Ding Xiaoyi took the token and flashed it in front of the soldier who blocked their carriage.
When the soldier saw the token in Ding Xiaoyi's hand, his expression changed slightly.
"Come here, catch this thief pretending to be a princess."
The soldier just glanced at the token in Ding Xiaoyi's hand, but Ding Xiaoyi thought that the soldier would let him go.
Who didn't know that the soldier gave a sharp shout, and as soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers armed with sharp blades surrounded him like a gust of wind.
"Pretending to be a princess?" Ding Xiaoyi was stunned when he heard the soldier's sharp shout.
Is there something wrong with this token? He is escorting the real Princess Xiahou Xiying of Dayong.
Why did this group of city guards stop them? He couldn't help but wonder.
"boom",
I saw all the soldiers surrounding the dilapidated carriage with a roar, their faces showing a look of vigilance as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Ding Xiaoyi sat motionless on the carriage, holding the token in his hand tightly.
"You are so brave. You dare to pretend to be Her Royal Highness. Please get off your horse quickly." A soldier shouted at Ding Xiaoyi with a sharp knife in his hand.
The other soldiers also raised their sharp blades and stared at Ding Xiaoyi and others with eager eyes, and a chilling atmosphere arose spontaneously.
"Military lords, have you misunderstood? This is really Her Royal Highness the Princess." Ding Xiaoyi was not angry, and getting angry with these ordinary soldiers would have no effect. "Stop talking nonsense and give me the token in your hand!"
"A young man wearing armor who looked like a general came slowly from behind the soldier. He said to Ding Xiaoyi in a deep voice.
"This is the status symbol of Your Highness the Princess. Why should I give it to you?"
Ding Xiaoyi was unhappy and said coldly to the young general.
The young general gave him a cold look,
There was an inviolable majesty in his eyes, but his face was as cold as a knife, without any emotion.
"I don't know how many thieves I have caught posing as Her Royal Highness in the Imperial City Department before. I thought that another thief posing as Her Highness has appeared." The young general said coldly.
There was no emotion in his tone, he was like a loyal machine.
The young general's face was extremely indifferent, with no emotion at all.
He tried to grab the token from Ding Xiaoyi's hand, but Ding Xiaoyi dodged him.
"Hand over this counterfeit token," the young general said with great shock, and he opened his palm to Ding Xiaoyi.
There was no doubt in this man's tone. He was guarding the north gate, so he naturally had the right to take life and death.
The Imperial City Division, at best, is a city guard; at worst, it's a watchdog.
The responsibility of the Imperial City Department is to ensure the safety of Yinning, the imperial capital, and to block all dangerous factors outside the gates of the outer city.
After Ding Xiaoyi listened to Xue Ningshang's explanation, he also learned that these soldiers guarding the city gate were from the Imperial City Division.
And those murderous soldiers standing on the city wall came from the garrison camp.
Although the Imperial City Secretary does not have much power, he is also the most difficult character.
The Imperial City Secretary will not let anyone enter the city if he wants to.
.The power of the Imperial City Division naturally comes from Emperor Dayin.
"This token belongs to Her Royal Highness the Princess, why should I give it to you?"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the stern young general coldly, and he couldn't help but get angry.
The Imperial City Department's actions naturally aroused a lot of complaints. The Imperial City Department can decide who can enter the city, and naturally it can also decide who cannot enter the city.
Loyalty and compliance is a good thing, but this kind of loyalty and compliance mixed with personal revenge is somewhat spoiled.
And the soldiers guarding the north city gate were obviously not truly loyal.
They took the token from Ding Xiaoyi's hand without asking any questions, and there was nothing wrong with the token.
Obviously, someone secretly ordered the soldiers of the Imperial City Division, so Ding Xiaoyi and others were stopped.
"We are ordered to monitor everyone who enters the city and have the right to detain those who enter the city. If you don't cooperate with us, then we will have to use strong measures." The young general's face turned cold, and then he scolded Ding Xiaoyi in a deep voice.
"Such a great official authority. Your Highness the Princess returned to the imperial capital and was stopped by you. You wanted to take the token from my hand without asking any questions. Are you guilty of contradicting Her Highness the Princess?"
Ding Xiaoyi's tongue exploded with spring thunder, and his voice roared in the ears of those Imperial City officials like an explosion.
