When the flying boat arrived in Chudu, Lin Haoming finally had the opportunity to leave the flying boat that had lived for more than two months.
Although he was quite comfortable on the flying boat, Lin Haoming was indeed curious about the situation of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Chu Capital is not just a capital city, but a huge territory formed by the imperial capital as the core, with dozens of cities around it. In terms of area alone, it is indeed much smaller than ordinary states. The materials obtained by Lin Haoming may be seven or eight times larger than Xuanxing Island, and are far less than the scope governed by Xuanxing Palace, but this is indeed the core of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.
The imperial city is located in the center of Chu capital and is also the center of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.
According to the rules of the Great Chu Dynasty, flying boats outside the country cannot be docked within the imperial city, so there are places to dock outside the imperial city.
When Lin Haoming and others came down, they saw a vast open space with flying boats of all sizes parked, and even larger than the ones they rode on. It can be seen that the Great Chu Dynasty is indeed extraordinary.
Because he had arrived at his destination, most people would come down from the flying boat. When Lin Haoming came down, he saw Mrs. Xiao and the deputy envoy Huide and his daughter walking in front. The person who came to greet him was also a female official. According to Lin Haoming's guess, her cultivation should be similar to Mrs. Xiao.
The Great Chu Dynasty was not distinguished between men and women, but the number of female officials was indeed much smaller, and both men and women wore the same official robes, at least in formal scenes.
The royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty generally wore white robes, and the imperial robes were also white, so officials generally could not wear white robes. According to the official level, the robes were divided from white to black, from bright to dark. Generally speaking, they were yellow, red, cyan, blue and purple black. Each color was divided into three different color differences. For example, yellow was from beige similar to beige, ordinary bright yellow, and golden yellow. Light yellow was the highest. The female official in front of her was beige, or light yellow official robes, which showed that her status was indeed not low. Two officials followed her, wearing red official robes, so her status was much lower.
After a greeting between the people from both sides, they soon entered the inn in the imperial city.
This inn is not small, but as the main messengers, Mrs. Xiao, Huide and Lin Yiyu were arranged to the best pavilions, while Lin Haoming and others were arranged to some nearby courtyards. After settling down, Mrs. Xiao and others were invited to attend the banquet, while the rest just stayed in the inn to wait for news.
Lin Haoming knew that this matter was definitely not that simple. Mrs. Xiao came to her and didn’t really go with her. She didn’t look for herself before, so there was no need to do so, because there were some things that could be explained to her daughter to pass the message.
Sure enough, after waiting for a day, my daughter came back with Mrs. Xiao after attending some banquets. My daughter immediately came and told Lin Haoming that Mrs. Xiao was going to see him.
Lin Haoming followed his daughter to the main building. There was only Mrs. Xiao here, and Huide was not there. From Lin Yiyu, he knew that Huide was indeed here to help Mrs. Xiao, but this person was just a representative, indicating that Nie Huangtian's support and his ability was not strong.
When I saw Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao was playing the piano, but because there was a restriction on the pavilion, it was impossible to hear that I did not enter the pavilion.
This is the first time Lin Haoming has heard Mrs. Xiao play the piano. Every time the Qixuan Qin is moved, it seems to convey a hint of bitterness. From the sound of the piano, Lin Haoming vaguely felt that the lofty Mrs. Xiao did not seem to be happy in his heart.
After seeing Lin Haoming, Mrs. Xiao stopped the sound of the piano, put the piano aside, looked at Lin Haoming, and asked directly: "Do you have any understanding of some of the situations in the Great Chu Dynasty these days?"
"I know a little, and Yiyu also told me a lot!" Lin Haoming replied rationally.
"I met a few people today. On the surface, I was polite to me, but in fact I was a little arrogant. And the people from Qitian Palace also came." Mrs. Xiao said.
"Qi Tian Palace?" Lin Haoming was a little surprised, because Qi Tian Palace did not border the Emperor Tian Palace, but the Qi Tian Palace was located in the middle of the entire Zhongzhou Continent, and the southwest and southeast bordered the Great Chu Dynasty and the Moon Worship Sect respectively. To the north is the Blood Heaven Hall. Although it occupies the center of Zhongzhou Continent, it is also surrounded by powerful hands from all sides. However, in terms of its strength, although Qi Tian Palace cannot rank among the top three forces, it is indeed the strongest force in Zhongzhou Continent. It is a little stronger than the Blood Heaven Palace, and it is stronger than the Moon Worship Sect and the Great Chu Dynasty. Although Zhongzhou Continent has four upper-level forces, in fact, Qi Tian Palace and the Blood Heaven Hall are on the same level, while the Great Chu Dynasty and the Moon Worship Sect are at another level.
"We actually don't have much entanglement with the Qitian Palace. After all, we are located in the southernmost part of Zhongzhou. The Qitian Palace and the Blood Heaven Palace have had deep conflicts recently. There have been some major wars between the two sides. To some extent, the Qitian Palace is here to gain some support from the Great Chu Dynasty, at least not stabbing the knife in the back, so that there can be enough time to deal with the Blood Heaven Palace." Lin Yiyu explained at this time.
"Madam means that Qitian Palace is very badly here?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Qi Tian Palace is very low this time, and he is also a woman. The daughter-in-law of the Qi Tian Palace Lord Qi Tian God King, named Du Yuexiao. She is not as good as the Xuan Sheng of Zhongxuan, but her status is not low. She also brought a lot of gifts this time. The Great Chu Dynasty has received such attention from Qi Tian Palace, so she naturally becomes proud. She obviously wants to suppress us in our affairs." Mrs. Xiao said.
"Madam, what do you mean, what do you need me to do?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Tomorrow, King Su will entertain me and the one from Qitian Palace, go with me!" said Mrs. Xiao.
"King Su, is that crown prince Chu Yan?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, this person is Chu Yu's half-brother, but he has a very good relationship with Chu Yu. When Chu Nanfeng selected his heir among many sons, Chu Yan made a lot of contributions to help Chu Yu become the crown prince. After Chu Yu ascended the throne, he has always been above ten thousand people. The person who came to pick us up before was Chu Yan's cousin named Tian Jinyue. This person and Chu Yan can be regarded as a big figure who can directly influence Chu Yu." Mrs. Xiao explained.
"Isn't tomorrow's hospitality equivalent to a competition between us and the people of Qitian Palace?" Lin Haoming also understood Mrs. Xiao's distress.
