Xie Changyuan raised his head and looked at the tall and majestic Bianliang City with an expressionless face.
The Song Dynasty is the closest big country to the north. The country has been in Zuo for more than a thousand years. Looking at the entire Changsheng Continent, it is a fairly long-lived dynasty.
In the past dynasties, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were many who were talented in literature, administration and martial arts. Occasionally, there were faint emperors and chaos in the dynasty, but this did not damage the foundation. As long as the throne was replaced and the emperor was recuperated and recuperated for decades, the officials could always cultivate a wise master to inherit the splendid country.
However, it seems that the Song Dynasty encountered a very unsatisfactory emperor in this generation.
Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo has been on the throne for more than thirty years. He enjoys the noble status of the king of a country but does not want to work hard to govern. His mind is full of praying for immortality. He hopes to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world forever and hold the country firmly in the palm of his hand.
In his early years, he practiced Taoism, not focusing on the court but focusing on refining elixirs and maintaining health. All political affairs were taken care of by the Prime Minister Gao Wenchong. He hid in the deep palace every day, vomiting cross-legged, refining elixirs and taking medicine, and was indifferent to the affairs of the outside world.
Until the government was re-administered in recent years, the first decision made was that the whole country surrendered to the Twelve Gods.
It is probably because he has gotten older in recent years, his body is not as good as before, and his spiritual practice has not produced any results, so the emperor is ready to find another secret path, to learn from this force from the West, and to continue to develop his immortality.
plan.
Xie Changyuan went all the way south and came to Bianliang City by the way, preparing to meet the Emperor who was extremely eager to live a hundred years.
He carried two heavy swords on his back, which together weighed more than 800 kilograms, more than twice as heavy as himself. However, he looked calm and walked easily, and he naturally blended into the flow of people entering the city.
In the past half month, he has been practicing the Zen breathing method day and night, and he has gained a lot of insights from the process of observing the blood vessels in his body. His ability to control his own energy and blood has greatly improved, and his strength has also slowly increased in the process. He does not know that he is now
No matter how strong he is, carrying an eight hundred kilogram giant sword is already very simple for him, just like the machete in the hands of ordinary tourists in the world.
He is eight feet sixty-seven, and even if he blends in with the crowd, he stands out from the crowd. Moreover, he has one eye and one arm, and a black eyepatch on his right eye. His unusual appearance is even more eye-catching.
When he walked to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city looked up and saw him, and they couldn't help but praise him in their hearts.
"What a big man!"
Many people were looking at Xie Changyuan, because he was tall, and the two huge heavy swords on his back were particularly eye-catching. The occasional collision made a dull sound of gold and iron, which hinted that the two big swords were not light.
"This big guy probably came to the city to fight, he looks like he's quite capable!"
"Yes, these two swords look very heavy. Anyone who can move this guy must be a master!"
Faced with the pointing fingers of a group of people around him, Xie Changyuan turned a deaf ear and entered Bianliang City smoothly.
.....
At the same time, there was a large restaurant near the city gate.
This building is called Yingke Building because of its excellent location, close to the city gate, and elegant decoration. It has three floors. Looking at the entire Bianliang City, it is considered a large-scale restaurant.
Travelers and merchants who came into the city in the past saw the grandeur of this building and often went in to check it out. Naturally, they ordered a table to drink and eat. For decades, business has been booming and there is a bustling crowd.
At this time, the lower two floors of the guest building are still busy, with guests coming and going and there are few empty seats. However, the third floor has been reserved by a certain big shot and will not receive guests today.
There is a large table near the window. If you turn your head here, you can directly see the city gate, where Princess Linyang is sitting.
In the Song Dynasty, the guards who protected the royal children were called Suwei Imperial Guards. There were more than a dozen of them present, guarding the princess and at the top of the stairs.
Princess Linyang did not wear royal clothes, but put on a black dress. She was walking on cloud shoes, and her black silk was draped over her shoulders. Even if she stripped away the silk and satin, her innate nobility could not be concealed.
The tear mole at the corner of the eye adds a bit of charm.
Sitting opposite her was naturally the Saint You Shu of the Divine Flower Cult. She was still wearing a thin red gauze. Through the gauze, she could see her snow-white skin, which was rosy.
Snow-white and uneven, even those well-trained Imperial Guards couldn't help but look at her a few times.
The two girls appeared here, naturally because of Xie Changyuan.
You Shu spoke first, her voice sweet and charming, "He has entered the city."
Hearing this, Princess Linyang put down her teacup and cast her beautiful eyes towards the city gate from afar.
She had good eyesight and could clearly see a tall figure walking in from outside the city. It was carrying two giant swords on its back and walking with the steps of a dragon and a tiger, which was quite powerful.
Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Princess Linyang's beautiful face, but it quickly disappeared.
She looked carefully a few more times, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She looked away and asked displeasedly.
"Why is he one-eyed and one-armed?"
A martial artist needs a complete body to display all his abilities. Once someone cuts off his arms or legs, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Historically, there have been many famous masters who encountered strong enemies, had their hands and feet cut off, and then sadly withdrew from the world. Because they were useless, if they continued to use their previous names, they would be hunted down and ridiculed by many enemies.
Therefore, when she saw that Xie Changyuan was a cripple with one eye and one arm, the little satisfaction in her heart disappeared instantly.
There were even some doubts about the killing of two Martial God realms mentioned by You Shu.
You Shu disagreed, she said softly, "This man cannot be said by common sense. Not to mention the two Martial Gods, he is a man who easily received the blow from my Golden Elixir maid. I have seen this with my own eyes, and it is definitely not fake."
Bar?"
Princess Linyang's face softened slightly, but she always looked at Xie Changyuan with suspicion.
She decided to test it out first, and immediately ordered the two guards to go downstairs. The two men immediately accepted the order, turned around and went downstairs to the street, facing Xie Changyuan who had just entered the city.
"You will know how much it is after you try it." Princess Linyang held up the tea cup with her white hands, her eyes moving, paying attention to the upcoming movements on the street.
Opposite You Shu also turned around, holding her cheek in one hand, looking at Xie Changyuan from afar with her peach blossom eyes, smiling.
"Have you decided how much housing allowance you will give to these two Imperial Guard families?"
Princess Linyang laughed and shook her head, noncommittal.
The streets are bustling with people. During the day, Bianliang City is already very lively. Many people are walking and stopping at the vendors on the roadside. Among them are the children of officials and the ladies who take their maids out to play.
The two guards were dressed in powerful attire and carried steel knives at their waists. They looked directly at Xie Changyuan, who was approaching step by step, with cold eyes. Unknowingly, their right hands were placed on the handles of the knives.
They unabashedly released their murderous intent, and people passing by were suddenly aroused with goosebumps and stayed away from them.
Xie Changyuan, on the other hand, always looked ahead, his steps unhurried and unhurried, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Soon, the aisle between the two sides was cleared, and the distance between them was less than ten feet. Passers-by stopped to watch, and a battle was about to break out.
