Chapter 14 The Imperial City, Undercurrent
"Chen'er, you are heading to the imperial capital this time, you must pay attention to safety on the way..." At the entrance of the General's Mansion, a dozen guards wearing armor and holding weapons were beside a carriage. Long Zhan stood on the steps of the mansion and explained the things before Chu Hen left. A month has passed. According to the previous agreement with Li Gu, it is almost time to report to the Emperor Fengwufu. Although there is still some time before the deadline for recruiting freshmen in the major high-level military residences in the imperial capital, it is still necessary to go there early to familiarize yourself with the environment of the academy. "Uncle Zhan, I can go to the imperial capital by myself. You don't have to trouble so many people to escort me." Chu Hen said. Long Zhan shook his head and said, "Chen'er, to be honest, I'm more worried that Liu Xuan's old guy will be bad for you in the middle of the journey. I can feel at ease with more escorts. Originally, I planned to let your eldest brother and The second sister came back and took you to the Emperor Fengwu Mansion in person, and it just so happened that they wrote back that they have been busy recently..." "If the eldest brother and the second sister come back, it is even more unnecessary. I am so old, and I don't need you. I'm worried." "Yeah! In the blink of an eye, all three of my children have grown up." Long Zhan patted Chu Hen's shoulder lightly, and his tone was somewhat emotional. Not father and son, but father and son even more! Chu Hen pursed his lips lightly, and a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Uncle Zhan, I'll be back as soon as I have time." "Haha, okay!" Long Zhan let out a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late, you should go now! Remember, at If there is something that cannot be solved in the imperial capital, I will go to your eldest brother and second sister." "Well, Hen'er understands!" "Go!" "Patriarch, don't worry! We will escort Young Master Hen to the imperial capital safely. ." The headed guard said resolutely. "Uncle Zhan, take care!" Chu Hen, who was in the carriage, leaned out of the window. Long Zhan nodded and smiled, his usual sharp brows now showed a fatherly gentleness. Under Long Zhan's sight, the carriage gradually drifted away. Just like the mood of the previous two children when they left, Long Zhan's heart was a little heavy. But he understands that young birds that do not leave Nestlé cannot grow better. Nine heavens in the sky, young eagles spread their wings. Riding the wind and breaking the waves, soaring for thousands of miles! Dapeng roared with the same wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles. Compared to the imperial capital, Lin Yan City is really too small. At the meeting of the wind and clouds, the dragon and the tiger compete for the hegemony, when Jie Shi, whether Chu Hen is a dragon or a worm, he will see for himself. ... At this moment, Chu Hen, who was sitting in the carriage, was also emotionally complicated. From childhood to adulthood, the bits and pieces of my growth in the General's Mansion flooded into my heart like a tide. Long Zhan has always been a stern elder, no matter if he is treating Chu Hen or his own two children. In the past few days of parting, Long Zhan often temporarily put aside the affairs of the General's Mansion, communicated with Chu Hen, or pointed out the shortcomings of the opponent's martial arts. When it came to parting, Chu Hen felt that his bond with Long Zhan and the General's Mansion was so deep. Soon, Chu Hen's faint sadness was taken over by a sense of anticipation that gradually emerged. The imperial capital of the Holy Star Dynasty is a place that everyone yearns for. There lived the most prominent and powerful family in the dynasty... Originally, General Longbo was given the imperial residence by the royal family, but he was rejected by General Longbo. The old general who returned from the front line only wanted to live in the homeland of Linyan City, and was unwilling to participate in the imperial capital's administration. After that, as time passed and the old general Long Bo passed away on a crane, this incident was slowly forgotten. The imperial capital is vast and rich in resources, and there are many nobles. As the imperial city of the Holy Star Dynasty, the total population of the imperial capital exceeds 40 million. In addition to the local civilians, there are countless merchants traveling from south to north every day to promote the development of major industries in the imperial capital. To outsiders, the imperial capital of the Holy Star Dynasty is like a 'city that never sleeps'. Here gathers the prosperous, the dignitaries,
Prosperity, power... More importantly, there are many high-level martial arts colleges, making the imperial capital the cradle of the young martial arts of the Holy Star Dynasty, and a gathering place for countless amazing and talented talents. "Young Master Hen, the imperial capital has arrived!" After nearly half a month of exhaustion, Chu Hen and his party successfully arrived in the imperial capital. On the way, the situation that Long Zhan had been worried about before the battle did not occur, and the Liu family did not send anyone to intercept them halfway. This more or less relieved the tense heartstrings of the guards in the generals' residence. "Where is this?" Chu Hen rolled over and got off the carriage, but what caught his eye was a crowd of people coming and going. There was a lot of noise, and most of them were young men and women about the same age as Chu Hen. "Young Master Hen, this is a post station outside the Imperial City, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the city directly. There is the city gate of the Imperial City..." The guard headed to explain, while he said that, he pointed in a direction . Chu Hen looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and saw a magnificent and tall city gate a few hundred meters away in front of him. The magnanimous aura was incomparable to Lin Yan City, and two stern and majestic characters were imprinted directly above the city gate, which was nearly fifty meters high. Imperial City! In the lower right corner of the word 'Emperor Capital' there are a few smaller characters, 'East Gate City'. "East Gate City?" Chu Hen's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Is there still West Gate City, South Gate City, and North Gate City?" It has a population of more than 40 million, and its area is also the largest in our Holy Star Dynasty." Chu Hen nodded and continued to look forward. There are heavy soldiers guarding the city wall. The guards in battle armor stood tall and straight like cold spears in their hands, showing their mighty might. "Third brother..." At this moment, a shout full of surprises came towards this side. Chu Hen's heart lit up, and in the next instant, a young man in Tsing Yi came to everyone's side from the crowd. "Big Brother!" "Young Master Qingyang!" Chu Hen and the guards at the General's Mansion shouted in unison. The visitor was a handsome, handsome young man, and he showed a sense of dashing in his gestures. This person is none other than Long Zhan's eldest son, Long Qingyang. "Haha, the third brother is really you! I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've grown so tall..." Long Qingyang held Chu Hen's arm, his eyebrows filled with joy. Chu Hen was also overjoyed. When he was young, Long Qingyang took special care of himself and always regarded him as his own younger brother. The last time the two brothers met was when Long Qingyang returned home half a year ago. "Brother, why are you here?" Chu Hen asked. "It was my father who asked me to come here to pick you up in the letter. Originally, Xuan Shuang was going to come along with you, but unfortunately she has something to do in the Haoyue Wu Mansion, so I came alone." Long Xuan Shuang, the daughter of Long Zhan. Last year, Long Qingyang and Long Xuanshuang came to the imperial capital to participate in the assessment of the higher martial arts. Long Xuanshuang was accepted by Haoyue Martial House. Long Qingyang entered the Giant Elephant Wufu. Haoyue Wufu and Giant Elephant Wufu are one of the five famous imperial palaces, and they are as famous as Difeng Wufu. Of course, the reason why the two brothers and sisters did not enter the same academy is because of their respective bloodline boundaries. Long Qingyang's bloodline is the 'Fenyan Martial Body', but Long Xuanshuang's is the 'Cold Ice Martial Body'... These two bloodline boundaries have appeared in the history of the Long family's genealogy. The two are It belongs to the bloodline passed down by the ancestors. ... When mentioning Long Xuanshuang, a cold and beautiful girl appeared in Chu Hen's mind. In fact, the relationship between Chu Hen and Long Xuanshuang is not as good as that of Long Qingyang. Perhaps in Long Xuanshuang's heart, there is still a bit of grudge against Chu Hen, a 'family' who is not related by blood. Long Xuanshuang didn't come today, mostly not because she didn't have time, but because she didn't want to come. Long Qingyang seemed to see what Chu Hen was thinking, and patted the other person's shoulder lightly, saying, "Xuanshuang is really busy this time. Not long ago, her bloodline boundary has been transformed. From the 'Ice Martial Body' to the 'Ice Soul Battle Body', the power of the bloodline has become more powerful and restless, and she has to retreat for a month for conditioning." "What? The second sister's bloodline boundary has been upgraded to a 'war body'. ?" Chu Hen was both surprised and happy for the other party. Receiving the heartfelt surprise in Chu Hen's eyes, Long Qingyang also smiled and nodded, "Yes! Xuanshuang's talent is the highest in our family. I believe that one day, with her talent, we can reappear. The bloodline boundary of the ancestor's 'profound body' is also very possible." Martial body, battle body, mysterious body, and the legendary holy body... The bloodline boundary determines the achievement point of martial arts, and in the process of growth, relying on Their own abilities and external factors can continuously strengthen the bloodline boundary and complete the transformation and upgrade. Of course, if you want to transform and upgrade the bloodline boundary, it is extremely difficult. Among the countless geniuses, only a small number of evildoers can upgrade their 'martial body' to a 'war body'. And those who can transform the 'war body' into a 'profound body' are all monsters that are unique in ten thousand, and rare to see in a hundred years. And in addition to their own talent strength, more depends on the help of external factors. In the history of the Long family, there is only one ancestor who has the bloodline boundary of the 'Xuan Body'.
Since that startling glance, the power of the Long family bloodline has been weakening. Now that a genius like Long Xuanshuang has appeared, it is natural for the family to see the hope of restoring the bloodline boundary of the 'profound body'. Once that day comes, the Long family will surely usher in a glory beyond the past. The appearance of any mysterious body will definitely be greatly valued by the Holy Star Dynasty. "By the way, third brother, have your bloodline boundaries awakened? What is your physique?" Long Qingyang asked suddenly. "This?" Chu Hen was slightly startled, but he didn't know how to answer. According to the truth, it was definitely impossible, but if he said that he had not awakened the bloodline boundary, how should he explain it in the future. Just as Chu Hen was thinking about his answer, the guard leader of the general's mansion suddenly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qingyang, since Master Chu Hen has delivered to you, then we should return to Linyan City." "Oh? Is it so fast? You rarely come to the imperial capital, you can spend a few days here. I will reply to my father and explain that he will not blame you." Long Qingyang has always been gentle to people, even the subordinates of the general's residence. The guard leader was naturally flattered, but still shook his head and declined, "No, Young Master Qingyang, now the three of you are in the imperial capital, and the head of the family is alone to take care of the household affairs. It would be better for me to wait for a few people to go back as soon as possible to help." "Well then! You all pay attention to safety along the way." "Thank you for your concern, young master." Afterwards, the team of the General's Mansion that escorted Chu Hen set foot on the road back to Linyan City. "Third brother, now this emperor is the busiest time of the year, eldest brother, I will show you around..." Long Qingyang was still in a very good mood. Chu Hen smiled and said, "Brother, you'd better take me to the Difeng Martial House to report! It's not too late to play after the business is settled." "Haha, you're still the same, you can finish everything before you go to play." Think about other things. Okay, I'll take you to the Emperor Fengwufu..." After that, Chu Hen, led by Long Qingyang, headed towards the Imperial City. Of course, in the crowd of people coming and going, a gloomy and cold eyes looked at the two young figures who were gradually disappearing from the crowd. In the imperial city of the imperial capital, the dark tide is surging!
