Chu Feng's answer made Lin Xiao even more confused.
In the Imperial City, are the four words Changyuan Swordsman taboo?
"Brother Chu, why did you say this?" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked.
Chu Feng's eyes kept flickering, and he finally said: "This matter is quite complicated, and we have to start from my childhood."
"I was born in a remote town. Bandits were often encountered in the city, and the people were in dire straits. When I was six years old, bandits entered the city and plundered the city, injuring many lives."
"At this moment, a swordsman descended from the sky, killed all the thieves, and rescued the people of the city. This swordsman was none other than the Changyuan Swordsman."
"It was from that time on that I determined to become a swordsman, to punish rape and eradicate evil, and to uphold justice. This is why I fought tooth and nail to enter Jiangxing Academy."
Chu Feng spoke slowly, as if he was narrating a story, and Lin Xiao also listened quietly, slightly shocked. He did not expect that the reason why Chu Feng determined to become a swordsman was actually because of his father.
"I have an average talent, and I did not become a famous teacher until I was nineteen, and was able to enter the Imperial City to practice martial arts. It was then that I learned that the name of Changyuan Swordsman had long since fallen."
"Swordsman Chang Yuan, whose birth name is Lin Chang Yuan, is a genius rarely seen in Jiangxing Academy for a hundred years. He and Liu Qingxi fell in love and had the crystallization of love."
"This incident angered the current Prime Minister Jiang Qianyang. In a rage, Jiang Qianyang destroyed Lin Changyuan's Dantian, broke Lin Changyuan's right arm, and even Lin Changyuan's Blood Abyss Sword was branded with the sealing elemental formation.
Completely reduced to a useless sword."
"Not only that, but everyone related to Lin Changyuan has a miserable fate. Many families have declined because of this. Even Jiangxing Academy has been greatly affected."
"From then on, the whereabouts of Lin Changyuan became a mystery and no one knew about it. The name of Changyuan Swordsman has also become a taboo in the imperial city. No one is allowed to mention it, let alone praise it. Otherwise, he will be an enemy of the Jiang family and Jiang Xiang!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Feng let out a long sigh, with a sad expression on his face, as if he didn't want to think about it.
Because of Lin Changyuan's determination to become a chivalrous and righteous swordsman, in the end, Lin Changyuan's life and death were unknown, and his reputation was completely destroyed.
For Chu Feng, this was not a blow.
Lin Xiao remained silent and seemed calm, but in fact, his heart was already filled with raging anger.
He already knew about what happened to Lin Changyuan back then, but he didn't know that Jiang Qianyang was so ruthless that anyone related to Lin Changyuan was targeted at that time.
What's more, even the name Chang Yuan Swordsman was ordered not to be mentioned, and Lin Chang Yuan was to be completely disappeared!
"What about Lin Changyuan's wife? Where did she go after this incident?" Lin Xiao asked cautiously.
In his heart, he has always been very vague about his mother.
Even before returning to Qiankun Continent, he thought his mother was already dead.
Now when he heard Chu Feng mention it, he suddenly had a strange yet familiar feeling about the word mother, which was very strange.
"Since that incident, Liu Qingxi has also disappeared from the eyes of the world. I have inquired secretly, but I have found nothing, but the Liu family still exists in the imperial city."
Having said this, Chu Feng paused and then said: "However, the Liu family is now dependent on the Jiang family and has completely become a subsidiary existence."
Buzz!
Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes became colder.
What happened back then was so huge that the Liu family must have been affected, but now, the Liu family is still attached to the Jiang family?
Also, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that Lin Changyuan had never mentioned the Liu family.
What’s the secret in this?
"Brother Xiao?"
When Chu Feng saw Lin Xiao lowering his eyebrows in deep thought, he couldn't help shouting, and then Lin Xiao came back to his senses.
He quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned to look out the window, and said, "I'm fine, Brother Chu, how long will it take to reach the imperial city?"
"According to the current speed, we can reach the Imperial City before dusk." Chu Feng responded.
"That's good!" Lin Xiao smiled and stopped talking. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into silence.
Chu Feng took a deep look at Lin Xiao and quietly walked out of the carriage without saying anything.
He felt something strange about Lin Xiao, but since Lin Xiao didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask.
The caravan galloped all the way, and soon passed through the misty forest and arrived on the official road to the imperial city.
The fact was just as Chu Feng said, around dusk, they finally arrived at the foot of the Imperial City.
The Imperial City, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, is vast and majestic.
This city alone is home to tens of millions of people, with pavilions and pavilions like forests, and countless buildings.
There are many main roads in the imperial city, each of which is up to 100 meters wide and can accommodate hundreds of people walking side by side.
All main roads leading to the main gate of the imperial city are sealed.
This city gate is extremely wide, tens of meters high. Above the city gate, hundreds of soldiers are guarding it, holding swords in their hands and holding spears on their backs. They are full of murderous intent.
Outside the city gate, there is a winding river, as long as a dragon, with no end in sight, surrounding the imperial city, leaving only a wide stone bridge.
Crossing the stone bridge is the city gate.
At this time, a caravan arrived outside the imperial city. It was very inconspicuous and did not attract anyone's attention.
“It’s so lively here.”
Bei Gongxue lifted the curtain and stared at the people passing by outside. It felt quite novel.
She had seen the prosperity of Qingyang City, but it was far from enough to compare with the Imperial City. The gap was like a chasm.
After entering the imperial city, the caravan disbanded, and the imperial city quickly disappeared without a trace.
Now that night is coming, Lin Xiao is planning to find an inn to stay in and then start exploring again.
"Brother Xiao."
While thinking, Chu Feng's voice slowly sounded.
He walked up to Lin Xiao and said enthusiastically: "You are new to the imperial city and are not familiar with the place. If you don't mind, you can stay in the humble residence for a few days."
"I just entered Jiangxing Academy and was assigned a courtyard. Only the two of us live there. It's quite cold. I hope Brother Xiao and Miss Beigong won't refuse."
After saying that, Chu Feng bowed slightly, wanting to repay Lin Xiao for saving his life.
This is all he can do.
Lin Xiao naturally understood Chu Feng's original intention. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Sorry for bothering you."
"Brother Xiao, where are you talking about?"
After hearing Lin Xiao's answer, Chu Feng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "The courtyard is not far from Jiangxing Academy. Tomorrow, I can take Brother Xiao to visit the academy!"
Chu Feng said as he led the way towards the depths of the imperial city.
Lin Xiao followed behind and remained silent. He just raised his head and stared at this majestic ancient city with a long history, his eyes filled with brilliance.
At this moment, no one could realize that the moment this seemingly ordinary young man in black entered the imperial city, this peaceful and ancient city would no longer be peaceful.
The future of the Qin Dynasty will also be changed because of him!
