South Vietnamese Empire.
Outside the royal city.
A beautiful red figure walked comfortably on a green path. Her steps were brisk and graceful, her posture graceful and elegant, and her appearance was still unparalleled.
The clouds in the sky smiled, sharing her joy.
The birds in the sky were singing happily, and they were happy for her.
The grass on the roadside dances in the breeze, which is celebrating her.
Her mood was so happy and joyful.
She is none other than Hong Juan!
Although the journey was dusty, Hong Juan was filled with joy.
Because now the knot in her heart has been resolved, and nothing can stop her from being with Xiaoyun, which makes her happier than anything else.
After bidding farewell to Yu Ruoling, the leader of the Ziyun Sect, Hongjuan happily rushed back to the South Vietnam Empire.
She originally wanted to go back to Fengming Mountain to find Xiaoyun, because she couldn't wait to tell him all her feelings.
However, when she passed outside the Nanyue King's City, she discovered that a large army of soldiers and horses, numbering tens of thousands of people, had gathered outside the city.
Moreover, they set up camp outside the city, as if they had been stationed here for a long time.
Hong Juan discovered that in the woods near the military camp, many new branches had grown on the roots of the trees that had been cut off long ago. There was no trace of the recent passage of so many people on the road leading to the imperial city.
Hong Juan now knows that her father is Nangong Shuo, the leader of the South Vietnam Empire.
Although she was still a little unfamiliar with her father, she and her mother Lin Xuan were not so unfamiliar.
After all, they were her biological parents. Perhaps it was because of too many unavoidable circumstances that she was sent to Fengming Mountain since she was a child.
Although Hong Juan still has some estrangement towards them in her heart, this estrangement and separation will eventually be gradually diluted by family affection.
What's more, if she hadn't been sent to Fengming Mountain, she wouldn't have grown up happily with Xiaoyun. Therefore, Hongjuan felt that this was fate, the fate between her and Xiaoyun.
However, when Hong Juan discovered the many soldiers and horses outside the city, she couldn't help but wonder why her father suddenly mobilized so many troops to the royal city.
Just when Hong Juan was confused, she saw a few soldiers walking out of the military camp. When they saw Hong Juan standing on the path from a distance, they immediately shouted at her loudly.
"Who is this person? How dare you trespass into the important territory of the military camp!"
Then, I saw a few patrol soldiers running towards this side quickly.
But when they came and saw Hong Juan clearly, they were all dumbfounded like wooden stakes.
They have never seen such a beautiful woman, not even in their dreams. They can't think of any words that can be used to describe the beauty of this girl, or they simply believe that she is a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world!
Hongjuan looked at the soldiers in front of her. Although she didn't quite understand why these people had such expressions after seeing her.
However, Hong Juan had seen the fiery eyes they looked at her before.
Although she doesn't hate others looking at her with admiration, she doesn't like those eyes that contain anything other than pure admiration!
Hongjuan knew that if she didn't speak, these people wouldn't know how long they would look at her like this, so she said calmly.
"I was just passing by and didn't want to break into your camp."
Hong Juan's voice is sweet, like the sound of nature.
However, the patrol soldiers still did not recover. They seemed to be on the top of dreamy clouds, with their expressions in a trance and their eyes blurred.
Hongjuan was a little angry when she saw this. She didn't want to talk to these people anymore, because not only did they not talk, but they were also very rude.
Although they looked like this because they saw Hong Juan, Hong Juan didn't know.
She was originally just curious about so many soldiers and horses arriving outside the royal city. Now, these people didn't even talk to her, so she could only go into the city to see by herself.
But when she turned around and took just two steps, she saw the soldiers waking up from a dream. They immediately chased after her and stood in front of her. The leading soldier asked with a smile on his face.
"Little beauty, where are you going?"
Hongjuan raised her head and looked at the people in front of her. Although she vaguely felt that these people were very similar to the people she had been besieged in the Tianyan Mountains before, it might be that her mood now was completely different from that time, so , she wasn’t angry, she just said calmly.
"I want to go to town."
When the soldier heard this, he immediately said with a smile.
"Little beauty, no one is allowed in or out of the city today. You can't get in. Why don't you go to my brother's camp and have a rest? I'll take you into the city in person in two days, okay?"
Hongjuan couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard that his words were full of teasing and teasing. She didn't want to get entangled with them anymore, so she murmured.
"I am a princess, and I am going to the palace to meet my mother now!"
"You're a princess?!"
The soldier asked in surprise after hearing Hong Juan's words.
"Well, I'm the princess. Get out of my way. I want to see the palace."
Hongjuan's tone was still calm and indifferent. Although the soldier was a little rude to her before, Hongjuan didn't want to be acquainted with him.
After all, they are just a group of ordinary people without any cultivation, and the reason why they are like this may be more or less related to their appearance.
The master has taught her since she was a child that she should not bully the weak or use power to bully others. In this regard, she and Xiaoyun both obey the master's words.
The expressions of the soldiers gradually became a little panicked and frightened. They didn't dare to believe Hong Juan's words.
Because Hong Juan's appearance and temperament are indeed too outstanding, and she doesn't look like an ordinary woman at all.
Besides, who has the guts to pretend to be an imperial princess in front of the Imperial City of South Vietnam?
Naturally, he had never met the princess, but he did not dare to bet his own life.
Therefore, the possibility that the woman in front of him was a princess was very high in his eyes, and he did not dare to neglect it at all. However, they were still puzzled.
Today the leader of the South Vietnam Empire abdicated, and the new leader was about to ascend the throne. Everyone knew this, so why did the princess suddenly run outside the city.
However, they cannot afford to offend the princess with her wealth and wealth. No matter what the reason is for her to come here, they have just committed the crime of beheading the princess. What should they do?
Seeing that the leading soldier changed his previous attitude and looked frightened, Hongjuan couldn't help but asked a little strangely.
"I just want to go back to the palace. Is there any problem?"
"No... no problem, of course no problem."
The soldier was relieved when he heard that Hong Juan had no intention of punishing him in his words. If the princess left like this, then he would have saved a small life, so he quickly replied.
"Um!"
Hongjuan saw that they were no longer trying to stop her, so she asked casually again.
"Why did my father allow you to be stationed outside the city? Did something happen?"
When the soldier heard Hong Juan's question, he was surprised at first. Such a big thing happened in Kyoto. How could Her Highness not know about it?
However, he did not have the courage to question the princess, so he only answered truthfully.
"Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, today is the day when our new ruler of the South Vietnam Empire ascends the throne, so we are all ordered to station outside the city!"
"The new king has ascended the throne? What happened to my father?!"
Hongjuan suddenly asked nervously when she heard this, because the soldier's words made her directly think of whether her father had been in an accident.
However, the soldier looked confused. What happened to Her Royal Highness? She wants to ask her father what happened. Could it be that the princess doesn't know what happened to the South Vietnam Empire?
But now, in his heart, he was more convinced that Hong Juan was definitely the princess. She kept calling her father and mother the king and queen, which seemed very concerned. Therefore, he answered more cautiously with his fists clasped.
"The old king ordered to abdicate today and the new king ascended the throne. This happened three months ago. Don't you know, Princess?"
Finally, the soldier plucked up the courage and asked Hong Juan respectfully.
However, Hong Juan did not answer his question, but continued to ask in confusion.
"Why did my father abdicate, and who is the new leader?"
"This little guy doesn't know anything and doesn't dare to talk nonsense."
Hong Juan was a little anxious at this time, but when she saw him hesitating and evasive, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, and then said coldly.
"Whose order did you receive to station here?"
The reason why Hong Juan asked this was because she suddenly thought that having so many people stationed outside the city for so long might be forcing her father to abdicate.
"this......"
"explain!"
Hong Juan looked sulky and shouted softly.
The soldier looked frightened and at a loss.
Although he was worried that Her Highness the Princess would blame him, he was even more afraid that if he leaked military secrets, his head would be chopped off.
Seeing that he was still hemming and hawing and refusing to answer her questions, Hongjuan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Immediately, she raised her arm, raised her jade palm lightly, and a flaming blade flew out of her palm with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and shot towards the trunk of a big tree as thick as a bowl on the roadside. Only the big tree was visible. He was chopped in half and fell to the ground.
Hong Juan turned her head, with a hint of anger in her beautiful eyes.
"Is your neck harder than that tree trunk?"
The soldiers were frightened when they saw Hong Juan cutting down a big tree in the blink of an eye.
Only then did they realize that the princess was a cultivator. If she were offended, their lives would be wiped out in a matter of seconds.
So, they quickly fell to the ground and answered tremblingly.
"Fairy, please forgive me. We are stationed outside the royal city under the orders of the new king Nangong Yi. After he ascends the throne today and becomes the king of the South Vietnam Empire, we will enter the city and take over everything in the imperial capital!"
Hongjuan finally understood after hearing this, but she thought that her father's abdication was forced by Nangong Yi, so she couldn't help but feel a little angry at this time.
Although she was not close to Nangong Shuo, Nangong Shuo was her biological father after all.
Besides, her mother Lin Xuan was still in the palace, so how could she tolerate these traitors and traitors persecuting their father and queen.
Hong Juan sneered.
"Well, Nangong Yi, I didn't realize that you still have such great talent and strategy!"
Then, she turned to the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and said.
"I am the Red Moon Princess of the South Vietnam Empire. With me here today, I will see who is not afraid of death and dares to rebel in the capital of South Vietnam!"
After a while, the soldiers regained their composure.
However, when they raised their heads, Hong Juan's figure had long disappeared.
