An urgent message came from the imperial city and reached the Marquis' mansion.
"The royal family invited Chen Nan to a banquet in the imperial city. They said they wanted to express their gratitude in person?" Everyone was a little surprised when they looked at the content of the letter.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Chen Laoba said. He was invited to the banquet a month ago, but no one went at that time. Now the second invitation is to Chen Nan by name.
The entire Chen family does not have a good impression of the royal family, so Chen Nan does not need to give him this face at all.
However, the content of the letter mentioned that King Lanling would also attend, and his daughter Lan Mengxin would also be present. This undoubtedly put an invisible pressure on Chen Nan. It would be okay if it was just an ordinary banquet, but it involved Lan Mengxin.
Meng Xin, Chen Nan always felt that it was not that simple.
In other words, the royal family did not want to refuse this banquet.
"Go or not?" Everyone looked at Chen Nan.
"Go, why don't you go? The Tianfu Empire won't make me a nobody. I'm afraid what I really care about has something to do with the people in the Longwu Empire, right?" Chen Nan did not refuse. Since it was an invitation from the royal family, he thought
Let's see what the purpose of this is.
Everyone nodded, the Longwu Empire fearfully wanted to take advantage of their departure to show off their power again, and the royal family invited Chen Nan to the banquet because they just needed his strength.
"No matter what, you must not be careless during this trip. Just in case, I will go with you." Leng Hun said. Now that everyone in Sunset City is united, Leng Hun can pursue what he is doing with peace of mind. Recently,
There are also more breakthroughs in strength in martial arts.
"Thank you Lord Leng." Chen Nan also entrusted Leng Hun, a powerful man with the level of Little Heavenly Lord, to follow him. It was relatively safer. Soon, the two of them set foot on the road to the imperial city, but their whereabouts were very secretive.
.
Even the people in Sunset City don't know.
And above the Imperial City Avenue, there is the ancient road, the east wind, and the horses.
The figures of two horses are galloping on the road, and the falling leaves at dusk illuminate the scene in front of the eyes, which is as beautiful as flowers.
But the man on one of the horses had a look of resentment on his face: "Huairou, why do you want to get on that kid's horse!"
This group of people was Baishi, Huairou and Lingyi, and the reason why the big man was so angry was because Huairou was in Lingyi's arms.
It's not intentional, but Huairou is a woman who doesn't know how to ride a horse, and riding a horse is a piece of cake for Lingyi, even though this is his first time riding a horse.
"I don't want to be with you, my whole body smells like sweat." Huairou's refusal was simple and rude.
Bai Shi followed behind him speechlessly, and even smelled the scent on his body: "No?"
…
"Is it really okay for you to follow me?" Lingyi looked at the girl in his arms, the fragrant fragrance hit his nose, bumping on the horse, this posture was even ambiguous.
However, for Ling Yi, the two of them originally thought that after leaving Taoyuan Village, they would have nothing to do with each other, but they did not expect that they would end up on the Imperial City Avenue with him by mistake.
In fact, Ling Yi was somewhat worried in his heart. The woman in front of him was fresh and refined, with a delicate aura. Beauty has been troubled since ancient times. In addition, Ling Yi himself had too many uncertainties. Is this journey a good thing for him?
Whether it is bad or not, no one knows.
"You kid, you are so stupid, we didn't follow you. This time Huairou and I were going down the mountain to practice and experience all kinds of things in the world. We are just going to the imperial city on the way now." What the big man Bai Shi said is true. They have been together for eighteen years.
, according to the rules of the mountain, you can go out to practice for ten years. If you don't return after ten years, they will no longer exist in the mountain.
"..." Ling Yi was silent, but Huairou in his arms had a blushing face, as if he had fallen into this brief silence and beauty.
Ling Yi didn't understand what the girl was thinking.
But one thing, Ling Yi always remembers, he is just a spiritual baby, and all the good things in the world, for him, are just the light in life, and they may disappear at any time.
"who?"
"Who is it, come out!"
Just as they were riding forward, two voices sounded at the same time. Baishi and Lingyi's expressions suddenly trembled. Almost at the same time, an endless power condensed in Lingyi's palm, and Baishi's clenched hand
Fists, the three of them looked at the sky in front of them at the same time.
From the sky, a figure descended.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. They belong to the most elite troops in the empire, the Shadow Guards from the Divine Guards. They are also responsible for things in secret, and their concealment and assassination are top-notch in the world.
However, the Shadow Guard had just approached these three people when he was spotted by them at the same time.
"Three of you, I don't mean any harm. Who is Young Master Ling?" Shen Yingwei didn't dare to be careless. He couldn't feel the big man's cultivation, but he didn't know why he was very afraid of him.
And that young man, he guessed, must be Ling Yi. He was a genius who defeated two young men in the Longwu Empire. Although he was only at the king level, he never dared to be careless, so he stepped forward to reveal his identity.
"Are you looking for me?" Lingyi defeated the people of the Longwu Empire, and his reputation had already spread, but he didn't meet the person who came to look for him. The person in front of him should not be from the Longwu Empire.
"Young hero, I am the imperial shadow guard. I am here on the orders of the emperor. The story of the young hero's defeat of the Longwu Empire has spread throughout the imperial city. The royal family would like to express its gratitude in person. Tomorrow the imperial court dinner invites the young hero to gather together."
Wei's attitude was sincere. After all, the royal family had ordered that the person be invited back no matter what.
But this is not entirely due to the pressure from the Longwu Empire. The most important thing is that at such a young age, he is only able to win at the king level. If such a person cannot be roped in for his own use, it will be a waste of natural resources.
"Can I refuse?" Ling Yi did not want to get involved in these palace disputes. Deep down in his heart, he resisted the struggle for imperial power just like his main body.
this……
Hearing this, the Divine Shadow Guard looked embarrassed, but then he gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Young hero, if you don't go, it doesn't matter if I die, but my family, wife and children will all die. I have an eighty-year-old son."
Old mother, I have five children and a wife who is waiting for me to come home. If you don’t go, they will all be implicated by me!”
Ling Yi was not moved.
On the contrary, Baishi looked at Lingyi: "I wonder why your boy is so hard-hearted. If he doesn't go, I'll go."
Pfft, Shenyingwei almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of old blood. What he wanted was Lingyi's promise.
"Young hero, please have mercy on me." This man's acting skills made him look like a movie star, and he burst into tears.
But Ling Yi is so thoughtful, how can he believe it easily? Even this has nothing to do with him.
"He's so pitiful, Xiaoyi, let's go there?"
Lingyi looked at Huairou's innocent eyes and found that he could not refuse the girl in front of him. He could only sigh softly. Baishi and Huairou were both too simple. Time was so dangerous. I really didn't know that these two people were as blank as a sheet of paper.
, how to survive.
"It's okay to go, but my two friends also have to come with us," Ling Yi said.
The Divine Shadow Guard hesitated a little, but gritted his teeth and agreed: "You three, I will personally take you to the Imperial City." In the sky, a huge bird silhouette fell.
Since Ling Yi had agreed, he no longer hesitated. The three of them got on the back of the bird together, and the Shadow Guard finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you have found me, you should also have found the person in the imperial city, right?" Ling Yi asked.
"Imperial City?" Shenyingwei was also a very human being and quickly understood what he meant: "Are you talking about another young hero who defeated the Longwu Empire?"
Ling nodded.
"Well, according to other news, the young hero has agreed to go to the imperial city, but he has a strange condition. He wants to see the Ninth Princess. Do you know him, young hero?"
Lingyi looked into the distance: "He is my junior brother."
When the man heard this, he trembled. He turned out to be senior brothers. This was huge news, but soon he was shocked. What kind of sect could teach two such terrifying people?
Ling Yi just said it casually. After all, their appearance and name will attract others' attention sooner or later. It is better to take the initiative to spread the news, so that the problem can be solved easily. Of course, he will not pay attention to the surprise of Shenying Guard. Instead, he cares about Ling Yi.
action.
"This guy is really restless." Seeing the Ninth Princess, Ling Yi guessed Hun Yi's thoughts. That's why he said he was restless. After all, for Ling Yi, he always kept his identity in mind.
In the night of the Imperial City, Ling Yi and the others soon entered the huge avenue of the Imperial City.
However, they did not enter the imperial court immediately. According to Ling Yi, they would naturally arrive before the dinner. The Shenying Guards did not dare to say anything when they saw the imperial city, for fear of causing the young man's dissatisfaction.
It means that he will come to the Imperial City Restaurant to pick up the three of them during the dinner tomorrow.
"Xiao Yi, you seem a little unhappy?" Seeing that Ling Yi was unhappy, Huairou said proactively.
"Sister Huairou, don't believe other people's words easily in the future. When you enter this imperial city, you will inevitably be involved in chaos." Ling Yi then looked at Huairou and said with seriousness.
"Why, Xiao Yi." Huairou asked innocently.
"Didn't you notice? This man is lying to us. His family will not die. Maybe he has no family at all." Ling Yi sighed.
"Ah? What, you said he lied to me?" Bai Shi was furious.
"How did Xiao Yi know that he lied to us?" The girl was very curious.
"What a special existence the Shadow Guards are. They are all dead soldiers of the empire. How can people like them get married and have children?" Such a simple and easy-to-understand truth will be understood by a three-year-old child.
"Xiao Yi also said that it is possible, maybe, that is, what he said may be true. Why doesn't Xiao Yi think about it this way? If it is false, it proves that no one will die for us. If it is true, now they
He won’t die because of us, does it matter whether it’s true or false?”
Does truth or falsehood still matter?
At that moment, Lingyi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. Those simple words brought a spiritual shock to the young man's heart!
