Forty-eight years after the founding of the Daqian Empire, the imperial capital was located on Baidi Mountain. It was built on top of an entire chain of mountains that stretched for thousands of miles. It covers an area of 999 miles, with a total of 18 lanes and 128 lanes. Main streets, 990,000 buildings.
The name of the imperial capital: Qiongxiao.
"Qiong" means beautiful, beautiful jade, and Qionghua; "Xiao" means high altitude, clouds, and sky. It means "the auspicious dew condenses to moisten the garden, the auspicious clouds shine in the jade sky, the king comes to the world with billions of charms, and the supreme beings in the world come from all directions."
This imperial capital is not only the holy land for the billions of people in the 200,000-mile-long earth in the Donghua Ming Domain, but also a platform for competition between super sects, holy land, caves, ten thousand-year-old families, and secret forces.
It doesn’t matter whether you are the overlord of a party, a powerful man with a high level of martial arts, a talented scholar, a talented person, or a determined assassin, there is no difference between you and ordinary people. Here, you have to learn to keep a low profile. If it's a tiger, you have to lie down, and if it's a dragon, you have to coil up, because there is always someone more powerful than you!
At this moment, Xin Zhuo was taking Xiao Huang, standing at the "foot" of the Qiongxiao Imperial Capital, looking up at the Imperial Capital.
He originally thought that Great Zhou Andu and the Holy City of Stone Gambling were already very domineering and luxurious, but compared with this imperial capital, they became pitiful farmhouses. He even gave birth to the child who had entered the Great Zhou Imperial Capital for the first time. The feeling of insignificance and inferiority——
At your feet is a spacious jade avenue that can accommodate nine carriages running parallel. After crossing nine spacious moats, you can reach the nine-foot-high city wall made of gold and jade. This city wall can be described as "towering" and surrounds the entire mountain range. The end cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Between the nine moats, there are all orderly attached cities. Even a row of attached cities is comparable to the imperial capital of a small country.
At this moment, the attached city was overcrowded, and on the way to the city gate, all kinds of noble carriages were coming one after another.
This is still just outside the city. Looking inside the city, the jade palaces with green bricks and green tiles are connected one after another. The first one is still in sight, and the deepest one seems to be in the sky.
In the mist, there are countless tall pavilions reaching into the sky. Standing on the highest floor of the pavilions is like "Don't dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the people in the sky".
Looking at it from a distance, one can only feel awe-inspiring in one's heart, not knowing whether he is on earth or in heaven.
Such a huge and majestic city can be said to lie down on the heaven and earth, sit and look at the sky. It is described as a miracle, but it is underestimated!
These are not the key. The key is that in the sky directly above the imperial capital, there is a huge rolling golden thunder cloud. Like a dragon absorbing water, it pours directly into the center of the imperial capital from top to bottom.
Xin Zhuo doesn’t even know what this is!
He subconsciously jumped out of the carriage that was jammed with traffic, looked at Princess Wuyou, Feng Shuning, Tuoba Linger and others who had followed him all the way after delivering the decree, and asked: "How many years did it take to build this city? How much manpower and material resources were spent on it? ?”
Feng Shuning and others were startled, as if they didn't expect that the first thing he would ask about when he arrived at Daqian Imperial Capital was that they thought... he would ask His Majesty.
"Construction started in the first year of Emperor's presence, that is, forty-eight years ago. More than nine million people participated in the construction, and it consumed billions of gold, billions of silver, and countless martial arts stones!"
Feng Shuning smiled and said, "It was just completed the year before last and took a total of forty-six years."
"Luxury!" Xin Zhuo exhaled a breath and asked: "Does the emperor have a saint?"
Princess Wuyou on the other side replied: "Of course!"
saint!
Xin Zhuo's eyes were bright. He had seen the saint once. When he was in the Holy City, the Thirteen Holy Relics passed by, and the colorful glow was unparalleled. This was his ultimate pursuit in these years. Maybe he would have a chance to meet the saint in Emperor Daqian? Talk face to face and learn from each other?
At this time, the eight quasi-sage masters who were following and protecting him were no longer there, or there were too many people to see them. Xin Zhuo said: "Let's go!"
A group of people abandoned the dilapidated carriage and walked forward along the avenue. Because of the special official robes worn by Feng Shuning and others, the crowds and carriages and horses subconsciously avoided it. It was not difficult at all. They just arrived at the huge east gate of the imperial capital. " It also took a full hour and a half in front of "Chengshi Gate".
A neat queue of carriages and horses lined up in front, winding for several miles, with two rows of tall and burly Imperial Guards giving stern orders.
Xin Zhuo searched the surroundings carefully, feeling a little disappointed for no reason. The empress called her here with her nine decrees, and she thought there would be some big battle. Not to mention eight or nine horses, at least there would be a large number of officials waiting for her, right? As a result, there was no special treatment at all.
Moreover, the imaginary boy Ji Pixuan came to the scene with a group of people, but he did not show up.
It's a bit too boring.
Feng Shuning seemed to see what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, don't you ask your Majesty?"
Xin Zhuo said in surprise: "It's not too late to ask now, right?"
Feng Shuning said: "It's not too late! But I'm not afraid to tell Brother Xin frankly that although His Majesty issued nine imperial edicts asking you to leave as soon as possible, he didn't even mention how to arrange for you or whether he wants to see you!"
Xin Zhuo frowned: "Then what's the point of letting me come?"
Princess Wuyou smiled and said: "This is also what we are curious about. What Miss Feng just said, 'Brother Xin, don't you ask Your Majesty?' is also His Majesty's will. His Majesty asked us to ask you that!"
Xin Zhuo said: "It's a bit convoluted, what next?"
"There's no more, that's all!" Tuoba Ling'er's face was very cold.
Xin Zhuo stopped talking and let himself come. Naturally, he had a purpose and didn't bother to ask.
Feng Shuning handed over the token at this time, and the leader of the city guard was very respectful. He roughly drove away the convoy that was lining up to enter the city, and invited a group of people to enter first.
As soon as I entered the city gate, the luxurious atmosphere hit my face.
The street is very spacious, and the surrounding pavilions and shops are all exquisite. Even the pedestrians on the street are all well-dressed. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that there are not only high-ranking officials and profound warriors, but also ordinary people. In short, the three religions and nine streams are full of it, and it is extremely noisy.
After walking for more than ten miles, Xin Zhuo saw at least a dozen unique pavilions and buildings, among which were the auras of at least twenty Yuanji realm masters.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" cannot describe the contingency of this imperial capital.
He couldn't help but start to think about how to take the next "road" of his trip to the Imperial Capital. It is true that Daluo Dayan and Holy Land Dongtian will not pursue them anymore, but don't just leave the Longtan and enter the tiger's den again.
After thinking about it, I have no clue at all. It still depends on the attitude of the empress.
At this moment, the passers-by in front suddenly moved out of the way, and a three-carriage, surrounded by more than a dozen green-robed officials, drove quickly and stopped aside.
An official with an eight-stroke beard raised his hand and said: "I have seen Minister Feng, Princess Wuyou, Tuoba Sima... The minister of Honglu Temple sent me to pick up King Xin!"
Xin Zhuo looked at the official in surprise. The title "King Xin" was quite unique.
Feng Shuning and the others nodded, glanced at Xin Zhuo, and disappeared at the end of the long street in the blink of an eye without saying hello.
"King Xin!"
The bearded official made a gesture of invitation.
Xin Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then got into the carriage with Xiao Huang. Before he could sit down, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. He grabbed Xiao Huang, and like water, he got out of the car window and reached the street in a flash.
This side just flew away.
"boom--"
The carriage suddenly fell into pieces, the three royal horses turned into pulp, the wheels of the carriage rolled to the side, and a big hole appeared on the ground, and dust flew up.
A group of Honglu Temple officials swung away in embarrassment, their eyes showing anger: "Who is it?"
"I!"
In the air in front of him, a long-faced young man dressed in brocade sat on a Lingbao fan, with seven or eight unhappy expressions on his face.
Pedestrians all around stood and watched, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Among a group of Honglu Temple officials, the leader with an eight-stroke beard took a deep breath and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Su Huaiqing from the Dixia Academy!"
Xin Zhuo looked at this person silently. Yuanji Qilin should be a very good source of heaven-level power, but he didn't know him and was pretty sure he had never interacted with him. What did this person mean?
"That's right!" The young master sitting on the fan in the air looked at Xin Zhuo and sneered: "I don't want to change my name, but I don't want to change my surname. It's me, Su Huaiqing!"
