The imperial capital of the Wolong Empire was located at the western end of the mainland. Under the old man's arrangement, Ziqin followed the old man's water route.
Following the river, this road took nearly three months.
Along the way, the old man discussed martial arts with Ziqin from time to time.
I have to admit that the martial arts in this world do have their own characteristics. Many of the old man's remarks brought great insights to Ziqin from time to time. However, on the contrary, the old man was also shocked by many of Ziqin's theories and didn't know why.
The world of the four great masters may not be considered high-level martial arts for this world, but many of the martial arts theories of the four great masters are definitely considered classics.
The most important thing is that Ziqin was less than twenty years old at this time.
At this age, in any martial arts training world, the martial arts concepts of the four major masters would be intimidating.
When he arrived at the imperial capital, the old man was almost numb with shock from Zi Qin. If he still had a grudge against calling Zi Qin as his mentor before, the old man no longer felt any unwillingness at all.
In the old man's opinion, people like Ziqin are born with martial arts prowess. If such a person were to be an enemy, it would be really terrifying. Even if his enemy was an empire, he would probably be destroyed by his powerful abilities.
The old man didn't care about the life and death of the Donglin family, but once Ziqin and the Donglin family went to war, the empire would inevitably be impacted under the influence of these two behemoths, which was unacceptable.
Canglan College is located in the imperial capital, but not in the imperial capital city. The imperial capital of the Wolong Empire, located at the western end of the mainland, is vast and terrifying. After the old man’s preliminary introduction, Ziqin could have such a concept in his mind. This imperial capital is about the same one before Ziqin traveled through it.
There is no other city in the world that can compare with it.
The size of this imperial capital is at least three or four times the size of Shanghai, and this does not include the area where Canglan College, which can be considered a suburb, is located.
After arriving in the imperial capital, Ziqin rejected the old man's proposal to go to Canglan Academy overnight. Although he had seen his true nature and found his heart in martial arts, he was still the same Ziqin as before.
Friends are still important in his heart, and even if he no longer regards Hai Lanyue as a friend in the imperial capital, there is still one person who can be counted as his friend, and that is Nangong Wuwei.
A descendant of the Nangong family, one of the oldest families in the empire.
No matter who you are, as long as you care about your friends, then when you arrive in the city where your friends are, you will definitely visit your friends and stay overnight. This is not for convenience or politeness. This is a friend.
The most basic concept between them. Because in your heart, friends are family, so why don’t you live in your own home?
The Nangong family's mansion is located in the southwest of the imperial capital. Ziqin found it easily, but it took a little time on the way. When Ziqin arrived at Nangong's mansion, the lanterns were already on.
In fact, although it is true that the so-called gatekeepers of wealthy families are domineering, it is rare for some down-and-out masters in martial arts movies to be humiliated at the door of a martial arts family.
Especially in the old aristocratic families, even the gatekeepers have good eyesight. This is not the eyesight of a dog looking down on others. It is the real eyesight. Every master must have his own temperament, whether it is mighty, cool or unrestrained.
The seemingly ordinary contains the extraordinary.
It is obviously impossible for a person with no vision to enter an established martial arts family.
The concierge who received Ziqin was extremely polite. Even when Ziqin said that the person he was looking for was Nangong Wuwei, the concierge's eyes changed slightly, but he was still extremely polite.
Ziqin's strength is now many times stronger than when he first came to this world, but Ziqin still retains many of his good habits, such as his eyesight when he was a supporting actor.
The concierge's fleeting look let Ziqin know that Nangong Wuwei's life in the family was not easy.
Of course, Zi Qin had nothing to do about this. Nangong Wuwei was his friend. Zi Qin could stab him at his own expense if necessary, but Zi Qin had no reason to stab his friend's family.
After the concierge's announcement, Nangong Wuwei quickly came to the gate.
This guy seemed to be very happy when he saw Ziqin. However, this guy was like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, who were too reserved in their emotions.
That trace of joy had already dissipated before it even flowed out of my eyes.
"You're here."
A very simple sentence, but it was what Nangong Wuwei said when he greeted Ziqin.
Zi Qin laughed. The most important thing about making friends is knowing each other, and Nangong Wuwei is a man of action. If Zi Qin was in trouble at this moment, he would have drawn his sword and rushed forward, but when Zi Qin was fine, his reaction was like
It's like seeing a stranger.
"I should go to Canglan College to be a tutor. Are you interested in helping me? I just learned not long ago that the tutors at Canglan College can be equipped with an assistant."
Zi Qin carried Nangong Wuwei in his arms and walked toward Nangong's mansion. The latter seemed not used to being so close to someone, and struggled slightly awkwardly, but in the end he did not struggle to open Zi Qin's hand.
"The Donglin family is going to take action."
Ziqin laughed at the same simple words. Nangong Wuwei was indeed very smart. No wonder there were rumors that this guy was once one of the candidates for the next head of the Nangong family.
Of course, if this guy can be thicker-skinned, darker-minded, talk more, and learn how politicians are raised, then with this guy's intelligence, he might really be able to compete for the position of the patriarch of the Nangong family.
It's a pity that although Nangong Wuwei is smart, his face is not thick enough and his heart is not dark enough. He is just a hot-blooded noob.
Such a person may be able to become a hero, but he will never be able to become a clan leader, because the clan leader can only be made by a hero.
"I have no friends in the imperial capital. I heard that assistants are very important to mentors."
Ziqin smiled faintly. He turned to look at Nangong Wuwei, who nodded. This guy is indeed a person who speaks more than words.
After walking for a while, Nangong Wuwei's footsteps suddenly stopped, and then he turned around. Ziqin was slightly startled. This turn was too sudden. Even if Ziqin didn't know the road to Nangong's mansion, he knew that this turn was Nangong Wuwei's temporary move.
On purpose.
"Nangong Wuwei."
As soon as I turned around, a deep voice sounded from behind. This voice seemed to be filled with deep dissatisfaction, as if someone saw that someone in his family had been embarrassed, and his own family was also embarrassed.
Ziqin turned his head displeased. Behind him, in the direction where they were going, a young man stood proudly. Behind the young man was a whole team of servants and guards.
Ziqin looked at the young man's pomp, and then at Nangong Wuwei, who could not help but sigh inwardly.
His friend seemed to be having a really bad time. When he left Nangong's mansion, he could at least lead a whole team of guards for the sake of the family's face. But when he was in his own family, he was definitely alone.
"You are Zhuge Mingguang, the one who plotted against Dong Lincang."
The young man looked at Ziqin proudly, but the words he spoke made Ziqin suddenly feel something was wrong.
It is not surprising that the news that Dong Lincang died at his hands has reached the imperial capital these days. However, it would be worth pondering if this news turned out to be that he had plotted against Dong Lincang.
There is a lot to do between killing and plotting.
The Donglin family may not need to take action. Just those two words of conspiracy are enough to make Ziqin despised by thousands of people.
It's just that with the strength of the Donglin family, can they be satisfied just by being cast aside? I'm afraid it may not be possible.
Ziqin had countless thoughts running through his mind, but there was still a smile on his lips.
"Who is this madman? If he is close to you, just say a word, lest I accidentally hurt him and affect our relationship."
Ziqin leaned his head towards Nangong Wuwei and spoke in a low voice. However, this low voice was heard by everyone around him, and the arrogant young man's face suddenly became ugly.
Nangong Wuwei remained silent. Sometimes honest people also make pranks, and the pranks of honest people are more hurtful than those of naughty people.
Looking at Nangong Wuwei, Ziqin couldn't help but laugh. He laughed loudly and took two steps forward while laughing at him.
"Boy, if you don't apologize within three breaths, I guarantee you will spend the rest of your life in bed."
There was still a smile on Ziqin's lips, and this sentence seemed to be a joke. Behind him, Nangong Wuwei's eyes moved slightly and wanted to say something, but before Nangong Wuwei could speak, the arrogant boy had already spoken first.
.
"I will never apologize to a man who stabs someone in the back or acts as a man's mistress."
The arrogant boy showed a sarcastic smile on his face and said something that he thought was extremely relieving. The group of slaves and guards behind him also laughed in a dignified manner.
The smile on Ziqin's lips turned cold. If his previous words were taken seriously, they would have been a bit of a joke, but now there was no longer any intention of joking.
Ziqin's figure suddenly rushed out, and Ziqin seemed to have turned into a shadow in the darkness.
The arrogant young man was just alert when he saw Ziqin moving. Ziqin had already passed by him. In the darkness, the sound of the black steel sword being unsheathed was heard. The arrogant young man seemed to hear a slight muffled sound, and also seemed to hear the sound of wind and leather.
The sound of cutting.
He turned around quickly, but before he could completely turn around, the gust of wind had already blown past him. Behind him, a large group of guards and slaves stood there stupidly, like wooden sculptures.
"For Wuwei's sake, you only need to kneel down and kowtow to apologize, and I will forgive you once."
Ziqin appeared in front of Nangong Wuwei again. He looked directly at the arrogant young man and said. At this time, the latter was still looking at his servants and guards.
There seemed to be a faint wind blowing in the darkness, and the arrogant young man suddenly felt a slight chill on his face. His wooden carving-like guards and servants suddenly fell one after another like tower cards.
"How dare you kill someone in Nangong Mansion."
The arrogant young man jumped up like a dog whose tail was stepped on, and roared loudly.
Ziqin's eyes became colder and colder.
"You don't need to notify people from Nangong Mansion in this way. I will give you time to call people. If I can't kill you today, I will kill myself here immediately."
Ziqin's voice was as cold as his eyes, but the face of the arrogant young man gradually turned pale, not only because Ziqin saw through his pretending to be angry and roaring to inform others that someone was killing people in Nangong Mansion, but also because of Ziqin's words.
"It's a joke. If you are a member of the Nangong Mansion, can you kill me if you want?"
However, in just the blink of an eye, the arrogant young man suppressed the fear in his heart. He laughed and looked sarcastically at Ziqin, who was standing in front of Nangong Wuwei. However, those ugly words were never uttered again.
