"Yes. The horses driving the chariot are not ordinary horses, but descendants of Pegasus. They are very fast on their feet."
Descendants of Pegasus?
Ling Luo was quite surprised. There seemed to be only one horse in the entire Xijiu Kingdom, and it would only be used by the emperor when he was on patrol.
And the team of carriages they were riding in totaled no less than a dozen horses, which was really a big deal.
"What a luxury." She couldn't help sighing.
"Luxury?" Xuanyuan Ze glanced at Ling Luo as if he were a monster and said, "Every official of the fifth rank or above of the Jialan Empire is qualified to use this kind of horse. The nobles of the palace, powerful officials and wealthy businessmen can use it at will.
But I can’t blame you for your lack of knowledge. It’s really because your small country of Xijiu is too poor.”
"..."
By the way, this guy really has no moral integrity when he hurts others.
Ling Luo was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Without Xuanyuan Hong's harassment, Ling Luo's life became obviously much more comfortable in the next few days.
On the sixth day, the carriage team entered the imperial capital of the Jialan Empire. A message came from Jie, who was only half a day's drive behind Ling Luo and the others.
After entering the imperial city, Ling Luo opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scene outside the window.
The roads in the Imperial City are more than three or four times wider than those in Yingyang City. There are rows of gorgeous buildings, various shops that dazzle people's eyes, and bustling crowds of people coming and going.
On the wide streets, four or five gorgeous horse-drawn carriages can drive side by side without appearing crowded.
Within the imperial city, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and experts gather here.
There are only a handful of people from the four subordinate countries who are qualified to come to the Imperial City.
Just in this street, among the large crowds, Ling Luo could already feel that there were hundreds of martial arts masters, dozens of great martial arts masters, and even one or two martial arts spirits.
The geniuses and geniuses from the entire Tianyuan Continent have gathered in this precious land of spiritual water to have a grand solo exhibition.
The Imperial City is very large and is divided into nine counties and one capital. Each county is half the size of Xijiu Kingdom. The imperial capital in the center is the real seat of the royal family of the Jialan Empire.
The nine counties of the imperial city are each controlled by nine elders in the Senate. All elders must be very important people in the Xuanyuan family.
It was getting late now, and everyone was very tired after six consecutive days of driving. The carriage happened to be within the third county of Xuanyuan Hong, so it simply stopped here.
In the evening, the carriage stopped at the gate of Xuanyuan Hong's Prince's Mansion in the Third County.
After getting out of the car, Ling Luo looked at the county prince's mansion in front of him and felt filled with emotion.
It is just a palace of a county prince, but it is only a little less luxurious than the palace of Xijiu Kingdom.
Xuanyuan Hong arranged extremely luxurious residences for Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Ze. As for Ling Luo, she was thrown into an inconspicuous and desolate courtyard.
What's even more outrageous is that there are a large number of heavily guarded troops at the door, and they are surrounded, making it look like they are being held under house arrest.
"No! Luo'er can't live alone in such a desolate place!" Xuanyuan Yu argued hard, with a soul-stirring cold light flashing in his black hole-like eyes.
Xuanyuan Hong was a standard old stubborn and said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, Ling Luo is a major suspect of the Senate and is about to undergo the final trial. You are aware of the Senate's rules for treating such felons. I have shown mercy outside the law.
