Chapter 19 - Silver City"Shut up!" Seventh Sister, normally, royal father and royal brothers can treat you like this, but that"s in the Dragon City. Now that we have reached the Silver City, no matter how mischievous you are, it would be best for you to restrain yourself a little. Otherwise, if you really go to royal uncle"s place, you can still act so presumptuously, and at that time, don"t blame me for not reminding you! "
As the crown prince of Storm Country, this was the first time Xiang Qian had spoken to his doted seventh sister, the one who was highly favored by her father, with such a stern voice.
As for that woman, the current Seventh Princess, Xiang Fei, she naturally hadn"t expected that her imperial brother would have such an intense reaction. However, the latter was only an accident, and there wasn"t the slightest trace of fear on her face."Humph!" "Second Brother, don"t try to scare me. I, Xiang Fei, grew up in the army, and have never seen any kind of battle formation, other than Imperial Father and Imperial Mother, who made me lower my head to others. I have never personally come to the northwest before, but all of this is because I heard from you how terrifying his strength is, how important it is to our Wind Cloud Country, and how amazing that Imperial Martial Immortal has become."
"But I"ve never seen these things with my own eyes, so I can only treat them as hearsay. This time, coming to this northwest Silver City, I want to see whether the Snow Wolf Cavalry is really that powerful, and whether my Martial Immortal Royal Uncle is really that G.o.dly!"
As the most beloved daughter of the emperor of the Empire of Feng Yun, she possessed the pride and blood of the Xiang family. At the same time, her personality, which had entered the military life since she was young, was even more stubborn than that of a man.Even if it was the legendary Peerless Emperor, Feng Yun"s G.o.d of war, and her own uncle, she didn"t think he was that amazing before seeing him in person.
Facing such a proud and arrogant face, Crown Prince Xiang Qian"s face originally had a look of rage, but the rage that was about to erupt vanished like smoke in thin air. The latter"s eyes blurred, as if he had seen three years ago!
At that time, Xiang Qian had come to Silver City for the first time, also to congratulate his own uncle. At that time, he had just been conferred the t.i.tle of crown prince, and now he possessed his own crown prince"s residence and a va.s.sal force.
However, this arrogance had vanished on the third day after he had left Silver City. Xiang Qian could only remember him lying in bed for three months after leaving Silver City before his injuries could be considered healed.
When he went to find his own royal father in anger, he intended to make that overweeningly powerful king pay a price so that his father could punish him for his crimes. However, he didn"t expect that instead of the emperor angrily giving out his son"s royal decree, he would reward the crown prince with a slap, a kick, and a sentence.
"You actually dare to complain. It seems like your uncle"s attack isn"t heavy enough. Let me teach you another lesson in his place!" With just a slap and a kick, the crown prince, who had just recovered from his injuries, was bedridden for a month!
From then on, whenever they talked about the Silver Blizzard City, Xiang Qian would involuntarily think of that middle-aged man in a snow-white robe with a jade belt at his waist. From then on, whenever they talked about the Silver Blizzard City, Xiang Qian would unconsciously think of that middle-aged man in a snow-white robe with a jade belt at his waist.
In the end, the dazed look on Xiang Qian"s face slowly faded, returning to a state of clarity. He let out a long sigh and said, "Fine. You won"t change until I see him again."Hearing this, Xiang Fei was still unwilling to accept it in her heart. However, she had no interest in continuing to argue with her royal brother, so she just nodded and didn"t say anything else.
The Crown Prince and Princess of the Wind Cloud Country were both silent. They let the carriage carry them all the way to Silver City with the treasures they had brought from Dragon City to congratulate their royal uncle!
The northwest side of Silver City was more than twenty miles away on the official road. The wide road that was paved with black sand was already covered with pure white snow. The northwest side of the Wind Cloud Country was not like other directions; it had a dense population and many cities.The Northwest of Silver City only had a few cities to speak of. The most famous of them, naturally, would be the "Spring Wind City" that had only risen to fame in the last two years. Oh that"s not right, it should be Qin Feng City, the city where Xiang Yun had been demoted to.
Compared to the other directions, there were countless n.o.bles on the northwest side of Silver City. The imperial family led a group of people with birthday gifts to celebrate the birthday of the King, and the north-west side of the road was without a doubt extremely deserted.
However, the silence seemed to last for a long time. Finally, a group of carriages with unique ruts and hoof prints arrived from afar and entered Silver City"s field of vision!Compared to the other carriages, this train of carriages was undoubtedly much weaker in terms of grandeur. However, there were more than ten carriages, and each carriage only had a single mahogany box that was several feet wide. Compared to the other carriages, which only had seven or eight big boxes, they were truly pitiful.
Furthermore, the number of guards on this train was much smaller compared to the other convoy of one hundred people. On both sides of the carriage were a dozen soldiers dressed in cotton-padded jackets, barehanded riding horses as they escorted the convoy forward.At the front of the caravan was a square-shaped gray carriage. It wasn"t too big or big, and it was being pulled by a rather handsome black horse. On the carriage was a skinny old man holding a horsewhip.
In this world of ice and snow, the old man was wearing only a thin linen jacket. He was leaning against the door of the carriage, holding a gourd filled with wine in one hand.
Suddenly, a woman"s cry of surprise came from inside the carriage!
"Aiya, Crown Prince, you"re finally awake!"
At this moment, Heir Xiang, who had been in a coma for three days and three nights, finally woke up as if he had just awoken from a great dream. The person he was most familiar with was the person before him, Lin Wan"er."Wan-Er, what happened to me? Where am I?" Xiang Yun"s somewhat dry lips moved with some difficulty as he asked.
Seeing this, Lin Wan"er hurriedly helped Xiang Yun up. As she did so, she fed Xiang Yun a mouthful of water and said, "Crown Prince, you"ve finally woken up. Did you know that you"ve been unconscious for three days and three nights?""What three days and three nights!" He choked on the water and spat it out, his face revealing a look of shock.
"How is this possible!"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you were drunk in your room three days ago? I don"t know how many times you drank, but you are drunk now. I thought you were going to sleep forever." Lin Wan"er looked a little frightened.Back then, not only was Xiang Yun"s body crimson like blood, it was also as hot as hot iron. What was even more terrifying was that black smoke began to rise from the latter"s body, and at that time, he had even thought that Xiang Yun had been poisoned with some sort of strange poison.
Both of them were powerful warriors who hid their strength well. Through their investigation, they found out that there was nothing strange about the Crown Prince"s body. He had just drunk too much liquor, so his body was a little uncomfortable, resulting in his entire body turning red and burning up.
As for that stinky black Qi, Mr. Liu had said that it was the impurity in the crown prince"s body. For some reason, it had been automatically removed, which did not harm the crown prince"s body in any way.
As for why something like this had happened, even Mr. Liu and Housekeeper Zhang were clueless about it. The two only said that it was Xiang Yun"s source of fortune.However, the latter did not have any spiritual roots. Although they had obtained this opportunity, it did not have much of an effect. As the two of them spoke, Lin Wan"er remembered that they both had envious and regretful expressions on their faces.
Following that, the manor immediately ordered the best antidote available for Xiang Yun to awaken the wine. However, it was unknown whether it was because the antidote was not effective enough, or because Xiang Yun"s wine was too strong.
After downing seven or eight bowls of the Awakening Wine Soup in a row, Xiang Yun actually showed no sign of waking up at all. Instead, he was breathing more and more, sleeping more and more deeply.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu and Housekeeper Zhang did not dare to pour Yun Li into the bottle. They were worried that if Xiang Yun was not a martial pract.i.tioner, Yun Li would harm him instead.
The Crown Prince"s residence had invited many doctors and teachers to come and help him with the wine. They had tried everything they could, but the Crown Prince was still in a deep slumber.In the end, the official who had worked as a coachman for dozens of years walked over, touched the crown prince"s forehead with a rough hand covered in mud, and slowly said, "It"s nothing big, the crown prince probably ate good food and needed to digest it for two to three days. Everyone, don"t worry. Let"s disperse."
Hearing this, everyone looked at him like they were looking at an idiot. The maidservants in the yard even forgot to blame the old leader, as he dared to touch the Crown Prince"s body with his dirty hands. They thought to themselves, "What kind of thing is an old groom like you doing?
However, to everyone"s surprise, after Mr. Liu and Housekeeper Zhang, who were originally serious and looking at each other in dismay, heard Old Liang"s words, the two of them first looked at each other, then silently glanced at Old Liang"s back as he left.
"Take the Crown Prince back to his room and help him rest. Watch him closely at all times."
The crown prince rested all the way until the morning of the second day, but no one had the time to wait for him to wake up. This was because the birthday of the King would be coming up in three days, so they had to escort Xiang Yun to Silver City to celebrate his birthday!The crown prince stayed up all night, so Housekeeper Zhang and Mr. Liu could only arrange for a team of men to carry the unconscious crown prince onto the carriage. They also arranged for Lin Wan"er and a few other maids to take care of him.
The caravan departed, heading for Silver City!
The journey to Silver City would take two days and two nights. Counting the time taken, he would arrive at Silver City just in time for the third day.
On the road from the Wind Qin City to the Silver City, there were very few people, so there were very few relay stations and taverns. If it weren"t for the fact that the Wind Cloud Kingdom had a great influence on the country and the commoners living in peace, there would have been many bandits along the way.After travelling day and night, they finally arrived at Silver City on the morning of the third day. Coincidentally, Xiang Yun had awoken on the third day as well.
Hearing Lin Wan"er"s story, Xiang Yun came back to his senses. It was only then that he recalled what had happened three days ago.
He had drawn out the Five Poison Wine from the Golden En Warrior System, but he had not expected that this wine would be so fragrant. As he tasted it, Xiang Yun seemed to have become addicted to it as he continued to drink, finally entering the wine vat and gulping it all down.When Xiang Yun thought about how he had drunk up the entire vat of Five Poison Wine, the latter couldn"t help but rub his belly, feeling incredulous. As for the fact that he had been completely unconscious for three days and three nights, he had no idea what happened afterwards.
Could there be something wrong with his body? Did he really get poisoned?
