C306 In a Story
"Have you gotten used to these days?"
Within the main camp of Chu Army, Dou Tianlai sighed slightly and asked with some pity.
At this moment, in front of his eyes, a slender Chu Bing was standing quietly. Hearing this, Chu Bing immediately looked up and replied in a clear and loud voice, "Reporting to General, I have gotten used to it!"
If there was someone with ulterior motives here, he would definitely be surprised because this thin and seemingly fragile Chu Bing simply did not look like a soldier. Furthermore, that delicate and fair face and that clear and crisp voice really resembled the so-called woman.
In fact, "he" was indeed a woman, and it was Chu Rouer, who was a princess. As for why Chu Rouer appeared here in a male outfit, the reason was that she was a princess. More than a month ago.
It turned out that ever since Chu Rouer and Guxing parted ways, Chu Rouer, who felt that she was useless, was unwilling to become a burden again. She had decided to walk the path of cultivation. As the only direct descendant of Great Chu, It was very likely that Chu Rouer would be the next emperor of Great Chu. Her actions would definitely have a far-reaching impact. Furthermore, Chu Feng was originally a person who advocated martial arts, so he naturally praised her greatly.
As for how deep the foundation of the royal family was, there was no need to say much. Under Chu Feng's attention, the heavenly treasures that the royal family had kept for many years were taken out one by one. Through the hands of Ou Yezi, the Alchemy God, he had refined priceless Foundation Establishment pills and bottles of extremely expensive body tempering medicinal liquid. And in the process of Chu Rouer comprehending the Dao for the first time, War God of Great Chu, Ou Yezi, had protected her throughout the entire process to relieve her worries and troubles. In the end, it only took a day and a night's time. Chu Rouer had miraculously crossed the three major realms of Spirit Guidance, Body Tempering, and Qi Transformation and stepped into the Nirvana Realm. She had officially stepped into the ranks of practitioners from an ordinary person without any foundation.
After that, Chu Rouer paid her respects to Dou Tianlai and officially became the fourth disciple of Cloud Pursuing Spear Saint. She was different from Ling Yun, the senior brother of Dark Dragon. Dou Tianlai's attitude towards Chu Rouer and Ling Yun was like the difference between heaven and hell. He could only agree to Chu Rouer's requests. How could he be so attentive?
The only thing that puzzled people was that even though Chu Rouer had acknowledged Dou Tianlai, she did not follow her teacher to practice her spear skills. Instead, she waved a long saber all day long and sweat rained down like rain. Clearly, the martial skill she chose was a saber technique.
This saber technique had a very special name. Zhong Lou waited for Jun Gui. Rather than saying the name of the saber technique, it sounded more like the name of a word. As for its origin, it was even more unusual. It was said that it was even traced back to the era of Emperor Xiaotian.
It turned out that such a story had always been spread among the people of Great Chu.
According to legend, before Emperor Xiaotian ascended the throne, He had once met a young girl in white by the twenty-fourth bridge. Her beautiful face instantly shocked Emperor Xiaotian. The two of them fell in love at first sight. They held hands and decided to spend the rest of their lives under the bridge. Before parting, Emperor Xiaotian looked at the young girl who was snuggling in his arms. He smiled and said, "After the coronation, I will come back. At that time, I will hold a grand wedding for you in the capital, and let the whole world know about it. You are my wife, Chu Xiaotian. "
The young girl believed it with tears in her eyes.
The sunset covered the water, and the shadow reflected the mountain red. The tears that were unique to each other were all sprinkled in the moonlight.
When they met, the sunset glow filled the sky. The shadow reflected in the water reflected the red mountain range in the distance, appearing to be attached and warm. When they parted, it was already late at night. A huge full moon was reflected on the river, giving people an indescribable sense of loneliness. It just so happened to be the name of this river, Cold Moon River.
He had left for three years.
Three years later, it was time for the two of them to meet. The young girl ignored the objections of her family and wore a red dress to look at the 24 bridges alone.
Today was the day she met the person she loved. Her face, which had never been covered with makeup, had turned into a beautiful Hong Zhuang for the first time in her life.
The girl stood on the bridge like a beautiful scenery, attracting the attention of the passersby. However, no matter how much they paid attention to her, the girl's eyes were always looking in the direction where Emperor Xiaotian had left. The smile on her face was tranquil and serene.
During this period, the girl's family came to look for her a few times, but they were all chased back by the girl's gaze. The Cold Moon River was a hundred feet deep. The girl's family did not dare to take her life as a joke. Helplessly, they could only stop by the bridge and did not dare to go any deeper.
The young girl just quietly stood on the bridge and waited. From sunrise to sunrise, then from sunrise to sunset, the good person did not return.
"Just give up, he won't come!" Finally, the young girl's father could not bear to see her continue like this, so he deliberately used words to provoke her: "It has been three years, maybe he already has another woman, he has already forgotten about you!"
The young girl was silent and did not speak. After a long time, she turned around to look at her father and suddenly laughed. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as silver bells.
"He will come. "
A faint smile. This sentence actually gave people an indescribable firmness.
What they did not know was that at this moment, a hundred miles away, the capital had long been decorated with lanterns and colorful banners. Gong, gong, and drums resounded throughout the sky from the time of the rooster's chirping. Countless people had consciously swarmed onto the streets today, their excitement overflowing with words.
Today was the day of the new emperor's coronation, but the ministers in the palace were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pan.
"The Emperor. . . Has he not returned yet?" Prime Minister Kindan Xu With his hands clasped behind his back, he anxiously paced back and forth in the Imperial Court as he tirelessly asked the guard commander beside him.
There was only one reason why the Prime Minister, who had always been calm, was so anxious. The Emperor had gone missing.
Commander Zhao Yuan sighed when he heard that. "Since the Emperor led people out of the Palace yesterday, he has not been seen for a long time. Subordinate has already sent people to look for him but they still did not obtain anything. "
"Nonsense! This is simply nonsense! The Mistress has not returned for the entire night, yet you actually only sent people to look for her now. What are you commanders all doing? Are your brains filled with water!? " The Prime Minister grabbed his collar, and his white beard was trembling because of his anger.
"Emperor. . . When the Emperor left, he once instructed not to let anyone follow. . . " Speaking up to here, Zhao Yuan's voice gradually lowered: "Furthermore, with the Emperor's cultivation, not many people can hurt him, so. . . "
"So you just let him go?" Yun Xu felt that his lungs were about to explode from anger. He pointed at Yun Xu's nose and cursed, "Idiot. Do you think I'm simply worried about the safety of the Emperor? The news of the coronation had already been announced three days ago. Currently, there are countless citizens outside waiting to see the new Emperor. Don't tell me you want the Emperor to break his promise on the first day of his coronation!"
Sensing the seriousness of the matter, Zhao Yuan immediately shrunk his neck and did not dare to speak. In his impression, this was the first time that this Prime Minister, who had always treated people well, had gone mad.
"How many people and horses did the Emperor bring when he left?" Calming his mind, Kindan took a deep breath and asked.
"About. . . About ten thousand people. " Zhao Yuan carefully said, afraid that he would say a single wrong word.
"Ten thousand people?" Qu Xu's eyes instantly narrowed as he fiercely said, "Gather all of the spies in the city and do everything to inquire about any information related to it. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I want to know the precise location of the Emperor. There must not be any mistakes!"
