On the way to the human imperial city, we did not encounter any difficulties or changes. No matter where we passed, as long as I revealed my identity, no matter which city lord it was, he would personally greet and entertain us.
So I couldn't help but feel a little drifting along the way.
I recall that when I first arrived in the upper world, I was like a rat crossing the street. I would hit anyone who saw me. But it is different now. I have become a popular target in the human race.
It was originally planned to arrive at the Imperial City of the Human Race in four months, but in the end we arrived in just over two months. Along the way, I also saw many major cities of the Human Race and appreciated the power of the Human Race.
The city lords of the large cities of the human race are many strong men of the fourth and fifth levels of heavenly beings.
At the same time, we have once again seen the peace within the human race. Although it cannot be said that the house is not closed at night and the streets are not picked up, it is more than a hundred or a thousand times better than the security in the Utopia.
Before we arrived at the Human Imperial City, I had already greeted the Human Emperor. When we were still hundreds of miles away from the Imperial City, we encountered a welcoming team sent by the Human Emperor.
The golden Longluan carriage, the honor guard stretching for dozens of miles, and the neat royal cavalry cleared the way.
What a high etiquette this is.
The Human Emperor has given me too much face.
The person who brought this team to pick me up was Li Qingmu who delivered the news to me that day.
It seems that he also has a high status with the Human Emperor.
After greeting Li Qingmu, he saluted me respectfully and said: "Prince Chen, please board the Longluan carriage with your companions. The space inside is large enough, and you won't feel uncomfortable even if you all get on the carriage.
Crowded!”
Indeed, the Longluan carriage was very wide and pulled by twelve strong white horses, and those white horses were even tattooed with runes, which were also runes.
What's even more exaggerated is that the driver driving this Longluan carriage turned out to be a powerful man who was a third-level immortal.
Seeing such a huge formation, I couldn't help but ask Li Qingmu: "The driver of the third-level immortal?"
Li Qingmu smiled and said: "Royal style."
I smiled and said nothing.
My companions and I all got on the Longluan carriage. Li Qingmu did not get on the carriage, but followed him nearby on a tall white horse. As he walked, he said: "Many dignitaries in the city will go to the city gate.
Welcome, you are now a first-class prince. After this court meeting, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give you a lot of substantive powers, and your powers will definitely affect many powerful people, so they come to welcome you at this time,
There is only one purpose, and that is to get closer to you!"
"I hope to get your help in my future political career."
I?
I couldn't help but curiously said: "How can I help them?"
Li Qingmu smiled outside Long Luan's carriage and said: "You will know when the time comes. In short, you will become a powerful person in the entire human race. Of course there will be people who want to curry favor with you, and there will also be people who want to trip you up."
I was stunned for a moment and said: "Those who want to curry favor with me will definitely appear in front of me, so I am not in a hurry to know about it immediately, and the people who hinder me are often hiding in the dark. I have no idea about the situation in the imperial city."
I’m not sure at all, can you please give me some advice, Senior Li?”
"Or maybe you can ask Senior Li to come to this carriage and talk about it."
Li Qingmu smiled outside Longluan's carriage and said, "Let me just say it from outside. I am the honor guard responsible for welcoming Prince Chen this time. It would be a bit unfair if I did not supervise the honor guard down below and instead ran into the carriage.
It’s decent.”
I smiled and said, "Senior Li is serious!"
Li Qingmu continued: "Speaking of the people who want to trip up Prince Chen, the number one person is undoubtedly the second-class prince Zhou Yang."
"He has been sitting on the throne of the second-class prince for a thousand years. What he wants most in his life is to be promoted to the first-class prince. But after these thousand years have passed, His Majesty the Human Emperor has no intention of accommodating him. Instead, he has directly promoted him to the first-class prince. Prince Yun (Tongyun) will definitely be very angry when the throne of the prince is given to a person with a different surname like you!"
"By the way, the character Yun is the royal title of Prince Zhou Yang."
"In our human race, there are a total of five levels of princes. Among them, the first three levels of princes can only have one each. The fourth and fifth levels of princes have relatively more princes, and their power is naturally not as powerful as that of the first three levels of princes. So big."
"Each of the first three princes will have their own royal titles, and these royal titles will be canonized by His Majesty the Human Emperor."
"As a second-class prince, Zhou Yang enjoys the royal title 'Yun'."
"If you are a fourth- or fifth-ranking prince, you will no longer enjoy the title of king."
"As a first-class prince, Prince Chen will certainly have to accept his title when he comes to the imperial city to meet His Majesty the Emperor. I really hope that Prince Chen can cooperate with him."
I was stunned for a moment and said: "How to cooperate?"
Li Qingmu said: "I know that Prince Chen does not adhere to customary etiquette, especially the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping, but the title is so solemn, so I hope that Prince Chen can show his respect to His Majesty the Human Emperor..."
When Li Qingmu said this, I understood that he wanted me to kneel down and worship the Human Emperor.
But soon Li Qingmu said again: "Of course, Prince Chen is not required to perform such etiquette all the time. He only needs to kneel down when the title is awarded. At other times, with your title of first-class prince, , there is no need to kneel down."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will still give you this face."
Li Qingmu smiled and said: "Prince Chen is indeed a person who understands the general situation."
These words should be what the Human Emperor asked Li Qingmu to say to me, so I have a better impression of the Human Emperor. He asked Li Qingmu to pass the message to me, not as an order, but in a consultative tone. I accepted it easily.
The other party is the Human Emperor, the Lord of the human race, so I still have to give him the necessary face.
After all, all the noble status I have now is only for the sake of the Emperor. Without the series of recognition and promotion from the Emperor, I would still be my street rat in the Utopia.
So this Human Emperor can be considered a benefactor to me.
Next, Li Qingmu didn't say who would trip me up, and I didn't ask any more questions, because I just entered the imperial city, so I just need to focus on the people who dislike me the most.
The carriage was moving very fast. As we approached the Imperial City, I heard cheers coming from the city wall. I lifted up the curtain and took a look, and found that the walls of the Imperial City were a thousand meters high, and there were two gates on both sides. There is a huge golden dragon stone sculpture, and on the city wall are densely packed garrison troops wearing golden armor.
Moreover, there are many giant ballistae on top of the city. Each of those ballistae is twenty or thirty meters high and thirty or forty meters long. It is countless times stronger than our two or three meter ballistae.
Seeing the ballista, Zhou Yin said next to him: "The energy source used by that heavy ballista is purple-level talisman. Sometimes silver-level talisman is also used. It depends on the situation. They can hit the most powerful ballista." The strong art bombardment is almost like the top level of the third heaven, and it is very powerful."
"And there are tens of thousands of these giant ballistae on this human city wall."
I nodded and said nothing.
Continue to look at the city gate that is 100 meters high.
The city gate opened, and there were many people in luxurious clothes standing under the city gate, and those people were protected by monks with extremely high cultivation levels. The monks who protected them often had the strength of third- and fourth-level heavenly beings.
The person at the front of those people was an old man wearing a purple-gold robe. The old man was leaning on a cane and his aura was not weak. Everyone behind him respected him.
Bei Li said at this time: "The man standing at the front is called Lu Jingtian. He is the prime minister of the human race. He has power second only to the Human Emperor and the first three princes. He is also a popular person beside His Majesty the Human Emperor. Don't look at him.
Even though he is old, he has a very important say in many important political matters of the human race, and His Majesty the Human Emperor often comes to him to discuss many important and confidential matters."
Having said this, Beili paused for a moment, and then continued: "Lu Jingtian thinks very highly of himself. I didn't expect that he would come to greet the hall master in person this time. It seems that he also values the hall master."
I smiled and didn't say anything. It's hard to tell what the situation was. Maybe there was something hidden behind the smile.
Bei Li continued: "The man on the left behind Lu Jingtian is called Huo Chengjiang. He is the Minister of Finance, in charge of the financial power of the human race, and is also one of the famous people in the Imperial City. After all, everyone likes money."
"The man on the right is called Chen Bokun. He is the garrison commander of the imperial city. He is in charge of all defense and public security matters of the imperial city. You can see those giant ballistae on the top of the city. They are all under his control, and he is the most powerful among them.
The strongest one, a top five-level immortal."
"As for the other people's names, Hall Master Chen doesn't need to remember them. They are just insignificant people."
I said "hmm" softly.
Soon the Longluan carriage stopped in front of the city gate. According to etiquette, I should get off the car and meet the dignitaries who came to greet me.
According to Bei Liu's introduction, I mainly chatted with Lu Jingtian, Huo Chengjiang and Chen Bokun, and I had no words with the others.
And those three people spoke very "officially", and although they had a good attitude toward me, I didn't hear any obvious intention to please me. Maybe they were just simply greeting me!
After staying here for a while, Li Qingmu said: "My lords, please give way to Prince Chen. His Majesty the Emperor is still waiting in the palace."
Everyone also avoided it.
Lu Jingtian said at this time: "Prince Chen, we will meet again in the court hall tomorrow morning."
I nodded and said: "Okay!"
After leaving the city gate, we took the Longluan carriage and continued to move forward. The roads along the way were crowded with people. They all wanted to see the face of me, a first-class hereditary prince, but unfortunately I had no intention of showing my face.
But even if I don't show up, the people on the street will still cheer when the carriage passes by.
Are they celebrating me?
The people in this imperial city are too enthusiastic!
At this time, Li Qingmu said again outside the carriage: "Prince Chen, you are the first prince of a different surname in the history of the human race. You are a grassroots prince in the hearts of the people, so you are their idol, and they can find spiritual sustenance from you."
."
I?
Idol?
Still have spiritual sustenance!? (To be continued)
