Chapter 26 - Return of the Crown PrinceTens of thousands of miles long mountain dancing dragon, more than a hundred pa.s.ses in search of the pirates!
The Northwestern Silver City was known as the world"s greatest fortress. It was the first stronghold of the entire northwest of the State of Feng Yun, and was also an important city that was second only to the imperial capital of the Dragon City! Although Silver City was not the capital of the Empire of Feng Yun, its reputation was spread all over the Empire of Feng Yun. Even the imperial capital of the Dragon City was a little inferior to Silver City!The reason was not because of Silver City"s prosperity, nor was it because of Silver City"s solid foundation. It was because of the huge river that protected the city, which was dozens of feet wide, and the city"s city walls that were as thick as a mountain!
It was because Silver City had piled up layers and layers of corpses with so much blood that it had acc.u.mulated a lot of merit points! The Lord of Silver City was the most powerful man in the dynasty, standing shoulder to shoulder with his king! Leading the army in Silver City, three in three! Every battle was a b.l.o.o.d.y victory!
The first time they went out to fight, they cracked open the northern barbarians who were at the border of the kingdom, the second time they went out to settle the chaos among the ten countries, and the last time they went out to kill them.These three famous wars were not only forever recorded in the history books of the Wind Cloud Nation, but they would also make Silver City, this huge city, famous for thousands of miles. There was even a saying that circulated throughout the countries in the northwest of the Profound Sky Continent.
"The moment Silver City appears, there will be no compet.i.tion in this world!" One could see the might and awe that the Silver City of Northwest had brought to this vast area of the Northwest Continent!
Even the emperor of the Empire of Feng Yun, Xiang Lingfeng, once said, "Even if the State of Feng Yun is truly in trouble, even the Dragon City has been conquered. As long as Silver City is still here, then the Empire of Feng Yun will still be!"
Silver City was magnificent, just like the proud stature of a city in a natural moat. It was a sight worthy of admiration!
Now, standing within Silver City, Xiang Yun gazed through the curtains at the tall buildings, shops, restaurants, and pedestrians lining both sides of the city. He could not help but be in a trance.
Silver City was not foreign to him. He had the memories of the son of Master Xiang. He was born and grew up in Silver City, and even though he was relegated by his father to Qin Feng, the majestic outline of Silver City appeared frequently in his dreams.
The wide street, the bustling city, the old banyan tree with its twisted roots at the bottom of Dragon King Street, the two white-haired old men sitting opposite each other playing chess every morning.
Beside the two old men, there was a large restaurant with red pillars that welcomed guests every day. It was the most famous building in Silver City, the Silver Phoenix Restaurant. The girl inside had a pretty face, slender thighs, and white and tender!
"d.a.m.n, what am I thinking!" Just as Xiang Yun"s thoughts flew further and further away and was about to fly under that coquettish muslin dress of the Silver Phoenix Restaurant"s, Xiang Yun suddenly became clear-headed."How could my thoughts become so vile? I actually m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.ed in broad daylight. This definitely wasn"t my intention. It must be the thoughts of that shameless prince sullying my pure heart!" Xiang Yun attributed all the vile thoughts he had towards that eccentric Crown Prince.
If the latter still had his soul and consciousness, he would definitely curse loudly, "f.u.c.k, you shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d, when did your father affect you? This is all because of your own imagination, does it have anything to do with your father?"
"Prince, what"s wrong with you? Why are you so hot? Did the wind and snow cause you to catch a cold?" Lin Wan"er, who had been watching Xiang Yun from the side, noticed the latter"s face turn slightly red. She touched his arm with her hand and discovered that Xiang Yun"s body was a little hot. She could not help but ask worriedly."It"s okay, it"s okay. I just entered Silver City. I feel a little excited, it"s okay." Xiang Yun hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He wouldn"t tell this girl that he was" a certain type of burning body, "and that he had some sort of physiological reaction to it.
Seeing that Xiang Yun was truly alright, Lin Wan"er relaxed. She lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before turning to Xiang Yun and asking, "Your Highness, can you stop using that form of address for me when we"re outside?"
"Ah?" Xiang Yun was stunned for a moment before turning to Lin Wan"er and asking, "What"s your name?"
Her head drooped even lower, and her face was almost buried in her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s. She said with a voice as low as a mosquito, "She is my wife. I am only the crown prince"s maid, so I cannot bear to call her that.""Ha ha!" Xiang Yun immediately laughed heartily upon hearing this, causing Lin Wan"er to be unable to show her face. She immediately turned around and hid in a corner of the carriage, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
Xiang Yun looked at this little girl"s incomparably embarra.s.sed appearance, his heart growing increasingly amused. He couldn"t help but say, "Little girl, don"t tell me that it"s not good for you to be this crown prince"s little wife?"
"Not good, not good at all!" Lin Wan"er turned her back and spoke in a m.u.f.fled voice. It was obvious that she was angry at Xiang Yun for teasing her.
"What"s wrong with that!"
"It"s not good anyway!"
"It"s really not good?""This is really bad!"
"Then Old Liang, let"s turn the tables. Since Wan"er doesn"t want to be my wife, then it"s most likely that she has taken a fancy to that young master Liu. She wants to be his servant girl.""No!" I don"t want to be that disgusting fellow"s maid! "
When Lin Wan"er heard that Xiang Yun was going to give her to Liu Yuan as a servant, she immediately turned around and shook her head like a rattle!
"Hehe, now you"re willing to turn around and talk to me?" Xiang Yun looked at Lin Wan"er"s charming and beautiful face, which was slightly flushed. He was a little anxious and frowned, feeling a little enticed. He wanted to go up and give the little girl a big kiss on her cheek!
"Crown Prince, you are truly evil!" It is even worse than that Liu gongzi! " Lin Wan"er angrily turned around, her back facing Xiang Yun!
"Hehe, if I"m not bad enough, then wouldn"t Mister Liu have s.n.a.t.c.hed you away to be his personal maid?" Xiang Yun"s smile grew wider as he suddenly felt that teasing this little girl in front of him was extremely interesting.
At this moment, Old Liang, who was driving his horse, turned his head and looked at Xiang Yun with admiration, "I have to say, Your Highness, your methods really stand out amongst the rest — you"re superior to everyone else!"
Xiang Yun, however, was very self-aware as he said, "Old Liang, stop flattering me, I"m called a hoodlum fighting — it"s all dirty moves! "If that Liu Yuan dares to provoke me, I will give him an unforgettable memory."
"Em," Old Liang dryly laughed twice. "It really is unforgettable!"
Even though Old Liang had watched Xiang Yun grow up, he still found this young crown prince"s actions hard to fathom. Not long ago, when the carriage had arrived at Silver City"s main gate, the crown prince had actually muttered something to himself.
"This won"t do. That Liu Yuan is most likely going to Silver City. My dad will definitely report my grievances. When that happens, that old thing will definitely treat my family unfairly."
"Who"s there? Hurry back and tell their caravans to scram. You are not allowed to enter Silver City and you are not allowed to give that Liu Yuan a good beating. It would be best if he was crippled so that he won"t keep thinking about me in the future!" "Oh right, you still have to remember to tell him who I am!"
When Old Liang heard Xiang Yun"s words, he had initially felt that this was the son of a popinjay revealing his true nature once more. However, after driving the horse carriage for a while, he felt that something was amiss.
He suddenly recalled the scene when he had met Liu Yuan"s caravan. That Liu Yuan had been so arrogant and domineering, repeatedly wanting Xiang Yun to get out of the carriage.
If it was like how the crown prince used to be, he would definitely jump out of the carriage and stand on top of the carriage while pointing at Liu Yuan and shouting curses.
First, he would scare Liu Yuan half to death, then he would order people to grab Liu Yuan and humiliate him in front of himself. At the very least, he would have to strip naked and throw him onto the horse"s back as an example to the ma.s.ses.
However, Xiang Yun"s style of handling things seemed to have changed. Not only could the latter hold his calm, he was able to chat happily with Lin Wan"er while Liu Yuan was clamoring. He seemed to have become a man of the world and had a much calmer temperament.However, Xiang Yun had not left any evidence after this. Instead, he had led Liu Yuan to say "exterminate Xiang Yun"s family". This was exactly what he meant by saying that they were to be exterminated.
At this moment, if the latter were to send someone to cripple Liu Yuan, his county governor would probably not only not be angry and resentful, but would instead be scared out of his wits.
As Old Liang thought of this, a sense of shock arose in his heart. Could it be that the little crown prince had really been enlightened in Qin Feng City? But on second thought, when Xiang Yun was in Qin Feng City, he had been constantly in the brothels, debating about his desires and desires. How could he be enlightened?
"Could it be?" As Old Liang turned his head to speak with Xiang Yun, he sized Xiang Yun up without leaving a trace and discovered that beneath the latter"s unchanging appearance, his eyes were as clear as a mirror! Compared to his previous muddleheaded state, his weakness was in stark contrast!
"Hiss!" At this moment, Old Liang sucked in a breath of cold air. He was slightly shocked, but just as he was about to reveal a strange expression, he quickly picked up the wine gourd beside him and gulped down a mouthful.Thinking back to three days ago when Xiang Yun had been unconscious in the room, a strange energy had actually appeared in his body. He had washed Xiang Yun of his vital essence and removed the impurities. The old man"s conjecture had become all the more certain!
However, what he did not know was that on that day when he had used his own energy to examine Xiang Yun"s body, he had discovered that the Five Poison Wine was altering his body and cleansing his marrow. However, he had not discovered it.
The moment his energy entered Xiang Yun"s body, it vanished without a trace and fused with the void. The source of this energy originated from Xiang Yun"s dantian, a golden spirit root that had spread to the Divine Court!After sizing Xiang Yun up once more, he finally turned his head and urged his horse forward. He believed that if there was someone who knew of Xiang Yun"s current change, they would probably be as excited as he was. No, it should be someone who was even more excited and pleased than he was!
The horse carriage finally arrived at the center of Silver City. It slowly moved towards the huge building that was made of ancient, heavy, and black iron limestone. The walls were surrounded by green moss, and it wrapped around the building!Xiang Yun"s convoy directly arrived at the main entrance of this ma.s.sive building complex. A giant red lacquer door, several tens of meters long and wide, was almost comparable to the city"s city gates. There were more than a dozen armored guards wearing sabers standing majestically on both sides of the gate!
Outside the door, there was a slightly plump old man with two sideburns, dressed like a housekeeper. He wore a bowler hat, and wore a long robe as he led a group of servants to greet the guests who had come to congratulate them.
The guests who had entered the main gate were all either dressed in gold and silver, the n.o.bles of the wealthy side were all wearing black gowns, or were high ranking officials that were either rich or n.o.ble.
However, even though these people were able to command others outside and sit high up in the temple, when they arrived at this door, not a single one of them did not show a humble and respectful smile.The moment they stepped through the door, everyone raised their heads to look at the top of the door. When the emperor personally gave them a tablet, everyone involuntarily bowed and entered!
On the plaque of the gate, a flamboyant calligraphy was written with the words "Side by side with the King"s Mansion!". In the lower right corner, there were the words" Creation ", and behind it, there was the engraved imprint of the Imperial Jade Seal of the Wind Cloud Country!
This was the most powerful va.s.sal lord of the current dynasty, the war G.o.d of the Wind Cloud Nation, the mansion of the king, Xiang Lingtian, side by side. This was the largest mansion that was personally built by the emperor in the center of Silver City, only second in area to the Imperial Palace of Dragon City!
Separated by the palanquin"s curtain, Xiang Yun had no time to sigh in his heart, much less have the time and energy to express the laments in his heart. The latter stood with his body bent like a lobster, his legs tightly clasped together as his body trembled.
The latter widened her eyes and shouted from the carriage!"Paper! Who has paper!?" I can"t hold it in anymore! "
