In Jun Changxiao's fantasy, the center of an empire must be magnificent and majestic, but in the end it turns out to be broken bricks and tiles, even the roads are full of potholes, and it is completely in disrepair!
The most speechless thing is that after entering the Imperial City, the main street that comes into view has almost no pedestrians and looks completely empty.
"Mr. Jun should be very disappointed," Yu Feiya said.
"Um."
Jun Changxiao confessed: "I'm very disappointed."
This is not an imperial city at all, it's like a slum.
Yu Feiya said: "The major kingdoms have left one after another. The only thing that our Canglan Empire can control now is this city. Because there is no financial revenue, it has not been repaired for hundreds of years."
"Don't you have any subjects?"
"There are only tens of thousands of people, and many of them have left."
"..."
You often laugh and remain silent.
He knew that the Canglan Empire was dead in name only, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable, with only one ruined imperial capital.
etc!
The imperial city is so poor. Is there any medicinal materials left in the imperial palace’s medicinal material warehouse?
"Princess." Jun Changxiao said weakly: "Can you come up with two thousand first-class flints?"
If the flint stone corresponds to the upper realm, it is equivalent to the Dao stone. It seems... unreliable that such a down-and-out royal family can take it out!
"Is second class okay?"
"no."
Jun Changxiao has already conducted tests during this period and found that only the energy contained within the first-class flint can drive the warship.
"terribly sorry."
Yu Feiya felt ashamed and said, "I only have second- and third-class flints. Can I use them to pay for the first-class flints?"
Jun Changxiao wanted to say no, but seeing that she was an imperial princess living in a poor imperial capital, he felt pity and said, "Yes."
"Thanks!"
Yu Feiya had a forced smile on her face, but her heart was extremely bitter.
Being born into a royal family, I was supposed to live a life of luxury, but in the end I couldn't even afford medical treatment. How tragic this was.
"Princess."
Jun Changxiao said seriously: "I'm afraid there is another reason for bringing me to the imperial capital, right?"
Gou Sheng's eyes were not sharp, and he did not release martial arts aura around him, but it inexplicably made Yu Feiya feel in a trance, and even felt tremendous pressure.
She lowered her head and said: "I hope to get your help, sir, to help the Canglan Empire rise again."
"..."
Jun Changxiao's mouth twitched.
I'm just a medicine seller, so what ability do I have to help the empire rise?
It is undeniable that it is no problem to sweep across the Red Hell Realm with the remaining strength. Even without him taking action, by sending the eleven warships docked outside, the disciples alone can defeat all the major kingdoms in a skillful manner.
However, how can you interfere in other people's internal affairs?
To put it bluntly.
Jun Changxiao regarded himself as an outsider, living outside the world and not interested in the affairs of the world. This was... farewell to the world.
Furthermore, even if there is sufficient energy, it will take at least several years to travel to the Star Spirit Realm, and we will pass through countless planes on the way. Do we have to help the weak?
"Feel sorry."
Jun Changxiao said tactfully: "I'm just a commoner, and I only know how to refine pills. I can't help the princess."
Yu Feiya said: "Sir's elixir can eradicate the terminal fire disease. Many family members and even princes and ministers have suffered from it. If we can help them cure it, it will definitely help our Canglan Empire rise."
Jun Changxiao finally understood.
This woman wants to use her elixir to win over the major forces.
The method is good.
However, it is not too naive to think so.
Jun Changxiao had not been in the Scarlet Prison Realm for a long time, but he already had a good understanding of the situation. There were no less than dozens of separated kingdoms. Even if this woman had the idea of supporting the building that was about to collapse and turn the tide before it fell, she put it into practice.
It must be extremely difficult.
What's more, how could the princes from all walks of life watch the rise of the imperial family that existed in name only?
"Princess."
Jun Chang smiled and said: "This kind of thing should not be done by a woman, but by the lord of the empire and the prince of the empire."
"The father was imprisoned and the two royal brothers were killed." At this point, Yu Feiya could no longer control her tears.
"Where are the royal family and others?"
"The major kingdoms do not allow able-bodied people to exist in the royal family, but because I am a woman and suffer from diseases all the time, I am lucky enough to survive." Yu Feiya said.
"..."
You often laugh and remain silent.
Is there any difference between the royal family and the nobles being reduced to this state and being wiped out?
The major kingdoms are fighting to the death. When someone completely unifies the plane, the Canglan Empire can officially withdraw from the stage of history.
…
The imperial palace is very large, but it looks quite lonely because of overgrown weeds. Occasionally, I saw a few soldiers patrolling, but they looked completely listless.
Jun Changxiao walked all the way and said with emotion: "Princess, to put it bluntly, with the current situation of the Canglan Empire, it is completely impossible for you to turn the tide."
"good."
Yu Feiya stopped and said, "It wasn't possible before, but now that you are here, it is possible."
"..."
Jun Changxiao shook his head and said: "I can only cure diseases, but I cannot cure people's hearts."
Of course, elixirs can help nobles recover, but why would they help the Canglan Empire rise for this reason?
"gentlemen."
Yu Feiya said: "Please come with me."
The two of them walked to the forbidden area of the palace and stopped in front of a closed hall with the words "Future Pavilion" written on it.
"Future Pavilion?"
Jun Changxiao asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"My ancestor of the Canglan Empire was able to unify the Scarlet Hell Realm because of the help of an expert. Before he left, he left behind twenty deductive diagrams. Twenty-three of them have been fulfilled, but the remaining one has not been solved yet."
"oh?"
Jun Changxiao said in surprise: "Is it so magical?"
"Sir please."
"Crunch!"
It seemed that it had been closed for too long. When the door was pushed open, dust rose up and a smell of decay came.
Jun Changxiao walked in, and the special formation inside was activated, illuminating the dark environment.
This hall is not small in scale. There are ink paintings sketched on the walls, and there are small annotations on them, roughly speaking of what will happen in a certain era.
"In the year 1021 of the Canglan calendar, strange beasts will appear in the east..."
"In the year 2451 of the Canglan calendar, there will be civil strife in the Yunxiao Kingdom..."
"Year 3425 of the Canglan calendar,..."
Jun Changxiao walked and looked at it, until he stopped in front of the twenty-four pictures, his expression gradually became stiff, because what was written on it was: "In the year 12020 of the Canglan calendar, there will be a powerful man in Zunwu City who can cure the terminal illness of fire poisoning and help him."
The empire is about to fall, but the royal family is about to fall."
"gentlemen."
Yu Feiya came over and said: "This is the only deduction picture that has not come true. I believe you can understand now why I brought you to the imperial capital."
"..."
Jun Changxiao did not speak, but carefully looked at the ink painting, and the shock in his heart became even stronger, because it showed a warship hanging in the sky, and a painting of thousands of people kneeling in worship outside the imperial capital.
"one two three……"
There were only one dog left, and the expression on his face became stiff again, because the warships painted above happened to correspond to his eleven warships!
First, the cure for fire poisoning was predicted.
Eleven warships were predicted to hover over the imperial capital.
this.
No coincidence!
"Plop!"
At this moment, Yu Feiya knelt on the ground and begged with tears streaming down her face: "Mr. Jun must be the great power mentioned in the deduction diagram. Please save our Canglan Empire and the thousands of people who are in the flames of war."
surname!"
"call!"
A gust of wind blew away Jun Changxiao's gray coat, revealing his majestic body, and blew off the mask on his face, revealing his heroic face.
"Princess."
Jun Changxiao always turned his back to her and said: "If Jun helps the empire to fall and saves the royal family from its imminent fall, can you give me a first-class flint as a reward?"
"Sir, you can have as much as you want!"
"call!"
A wave of air broke out, and he helped Yu Feiya up, and then heard Jun Changxiao's voice coming from the main hall and resounding throughout the entire imperial capital: "I'm here to help."
