Hearing that Lin Bai was going to see His Highness King Chen, Li Guxian was naturally willing to lead the way.
"It's still a long way to go to the City Lord's Mansion. My carriage is just outside the manor. Take my carriage there."
Lin Bai went to say hello to the third elder, then got on Li Guxian's princess carriage and left the manor under the envious eyes of many Tianshui Sect disciples.
The princess was walking down the street with her carriage, and she was escorted by soldiers.
Pedestrians walking on the street gave way one after another, their eyes full of respect.
"It seems that they all know your frame, and it can be seen that your reputation in Kezhou is quite high."
Sitting by the window, Lin Bai raised the car curtain and looked towards the street.
Lin Bai saw many warriors on the street. When they saw the princess's carriage, they all bowed silently and saluted, with extremely respectful expressions.
There is only one princess in Kezhou, and that is Li Guxian, the princess of Leping County.
The Qinglian City warriors naturally recognized Princess Leping's bicycle frame.
Li Guxian whispered: "They think it was my father who saved Kezhou, but because my father is gone, they remember this kindness on me. And some time ago, I followed His Highness King Chen back to Kezhou.
At that time, tens of thousands of families and sects in Kezhou created a 'Qinglian Tianen Token' for me."
"They said that no matter what dangers or difficulties I encounter in the future, as long as I find them with the Qinglian Tianen Token, they will help me unconditionally."
Lin Bai nodded slightly and said: "It is only when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed that you can see the temperament of a man. This is a good thing. At least the men in Kezhou can still distinguish what is good for themselves."
Tap tap tap...
The carriage walked through the spacious streets in Qinglian City, and a group of soldiers came in front of them. After seeing the carriage, they hurriedly retreated to both sides, lowering their heads respectfully.
From the Tianshui Sect's manor to the city lord's palace, Lin Bai met at least more than a hundred teams of such soldiers along the way.
It seems that His Highness King Chen has done a lot for the safety of Qinglian City.
About half an hour later, the carriage finally passed through the crowded streets and arrived at the palace of the city lord of Qinglian City.
The Lord's Palace of Qinglian City originally belonged to Li Tianen, but after the Blood God Cult incident broke out, Li Tianen was forced to die, and Princess Leping also died in love.
After the deaths of Li Tianen and Princess Leping, the Blood God Cult instigated warriors to oppress the Li family, so that a large number of powerful members of the Li family died. Li Guxian was forced to flee. Only then did he discover what happened next. Lin Bai and the pseudonym "Chen You"
His Highness King Chen took action to save Li Guxian.
Since the destruction of the Li family, the City Lord's Mansion has been temporarily empty.
Before the new city lord could succeed to the throne, His Highness King Chen was ordered to come to Kezhou, and the city lord's palace naturally became His Royal Highness King Chen's palace.
Around the city lord's palace, there are soldiers wearing armor.
Those soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding spears, looked majestic.
There was an iron mask on their faces, revealing only a pair of trembling bloodthirsty eyes.
Judging from the patterns and flags on the armor of the soldiers, they all belong to the Imperial Forbidden Army of the Chu Kingdom.
The Forbidden Army of Chu State is the most powerful army in Chu State. They only obey the orders of Emperor Chu.
The Tuoshan war boat that appeared above Xuanfeng City before was owned by the Forbidden Army.
Lin Bai, Li Guxian, and He Qiyun stepped out of the carriage and entered the city lord's palace.
Inside the city lord's palace, the security is extremely tight. There is a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Soldiers wearing heavy armor can be seen everywhere. Under the iron masks, a pair of wolf-like eyes stare at every warrior who enters the palace.
Of course, after they saw Princess Leping, they still looked away.
Walking inside the city lord's palace, passing through corridors and buildings, we finally came to an elegant courtyard.
"The front was originally my father's study, but now it is the place where His Royal Highness King Chen manages government."
Li Guxian stared at the small courtyard in front and whispered.
There was a young man standing at the door of the small courtyard. This man had sharp eyes and saw Li Guxian and Lin Bai walking over early.
He hurriedly came over and greeted her with a smile. He first saluted Li Guxian and said, "Greetings to Princess Leping!"
"Forgive me, Jiang Zhen is in charge." Li Guxian said with a smile.
"Brother Lin Bai has recovered from his injury? It's really gratifying. If His Highness King Chen knew about it, he would definitely be extremely happy." Jiang Zhen said to Lin Bai with a smile on his face.
Lin Bai smiled and nodded, and said, "Is His Royal Highness Chen in the study?"
When Jiang Zhen heard this, his expression stiffened a little, and he said in a low voice: "I am worried about things in Kezhou. I was banging the table inside just now, and we servants were so scared that we didn't even dare to go even half a step closer to the yard.
"
"He also knows how to worry." Lin Bai laughed and went to report: "Just say that Lin Bai's visit can relieve his urgent need."
Jiang Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this. He originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was not something he should ask, so he said: "Really? Brother Lin Bai, please wait here. I will go and report it immediately."
.”
After saying that, Jiang Zhen ran into the courtyard.
Not long after, the door of the small courtyard opened, and a noble man dressed in gold and jade robes walked out of the room quickly with a smile on his face.
He walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, and when he saw Lin Bai, the smile on his face became even wider.
"I've met the emperor." Li Guxian saluted first.
"I have met His Highness Prince Chen." Lin Bai cupped his fists and saluted.
"Oh, don't be polite." Chu Junyou smiled bitterly, walked over and took Lin Bai's wrist and walked towards the courtyard. As he walked, he said: "I heard that after you came back from Xuanfeng City,
, you were seriously injured, and I thought you were going to retreat to heal, so I never looked for you."
"You came to see me today, and seeing that your face remains the same as before, I think your injury is no longer serious."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "You have sent so many healing elixirs. Even if they have been buried, if you take so many precious elixirs, the King of Hell will still spare you when he sees them."
"Hahaha, that's right. The healing pills in the martial arts world are just dirty silver used to bribe the King of Hell. As long as the money is enough, the King of Hell will let go." Chu Junyou said with a smile.
Chu Junyou took Lin Bai to the lake pavilion in the courtyard, and the maid hurriedly laid out the cushions and cooked fragrant tea.
"Sit." Chu Junyou asked Lin Bai to sit down.
Chu Junyou ignored Li Guxian and He Qiyun who followed them.
At this time, Chu Junyou remembered and said: "Gu Xian, since I came to Kezhou, I haven't drank the tea you cooked by yourself. Today, Brother Lin is here. I wonder if you are willing to let me know."
Li Guxian walked slightly to the table and carefully prepared tea.
Chu Junyou smiled and said: "Brother Lin, I took Gu Xian to the imperial capital and found out that Gu Xian actually has profound attainments in tea ceremony."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Those who belong to a distinguished family will have profound knowledge in many aspects such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, etc. Unlike us, ordinary people who only know how to fight and kill all day long."
"Brother Lin, Miao praised it." Li Guxian blushed at Lin Bai's praise.
Lin Bai smiled, changed the subject, and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Chen, let's get down to business."
Chu Junyou nodded and said with a smile: "Before we get down to business, I hope you won't call me His Highness Chen. It's too alienating. Just like when we met in Ziwei City, you would call me Brother Chen."
