Chapter 1213： Near the imperial capital

This small mountain range is not big. In addition, the two of them walked some distance last night. At this time, at the speed of Lu Chen, they passed through the mountain range not long after.

Not far in front, a long official road fell into his sight at this moment.

"That's the army?" Lu Chen stopped, his eyes on the large group of people on the official road.

Following his gaze, not far in front of him, an army of about a hundred soldiers stayed neatly on the official road. A middle-aged man in a copper armor was facing him at this moment. Step by step.

"Are you Lu Chen?" The bronze-clad man stood in front of Lu Chen with a grim expression.

When Lu Chen heard the words, he nodded slightly, his eyes swept forward at the same time, the flag emblem hung in the army, obviously these people belonged to the empire.

"My name is Du Feng, and I am the deputy general of the Imperial City Guards. First of all, thank you for saving Your Majesty the princess." Du Feng placed his arm on his chest and nodded slightly to Lu Chen.

"Your Majesty asked me to come here and take my husband to the imperial capital, but if I were a husband, I would definitely reject the princess's kindness."

Na Du Feng glanced at Lu Chen, how could he fail to see that the person in front of him was just a civilian, and his eyes inevitably showed contempt.

Lu Chen gave a faint smile, and he also understood.

As the prince of the empire, Xu Qinghong was a real princess even though he was born with some flaws. It was normal for these people to be found after missing for a day and night.

"Lu just happened to be going to the imperial capital, why did he refuse?" Lu Chen looked calm, and said to Du Feng in front of him.

When Na Du Feng heard Lu Chen's words, an icy meaning flashed in his eyes. As the guardian of the royal family, the aura on his body naturally should not be underestimated.

"Boy, you know your identity, the Imperial Capital is not accessible to everyone." Du Feng snorted coldly, staring at Lu Chen and said in a deep voice.

Lu Chen chuckled, the invisible momentum on his body also suddenly condensed, and there was no extra words, his figure took a step forward.

"The world is so big, there is no place where Lu can't go, but you want to block me?" Lu Chen whispered.

Na Du Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and his body couldn't help but step back. There are not a few people he has killed in his life, and there are few things that can make him afraid. Today, under the aura of this young man, he doesn't dare to oppose him. See.

"Sir, please!" Du Feng lowered his head, and at the same time let out his figure.

At this time, Lu Chen didn't say much, raised his head to look at the official road ahead, and walked slowly towards the hundred soldiers.

Among the soldiers, the door curtain of a carriage suddenly lifted, and it was Xu Qinghong who walked out of it with a smile, looking at Lu Chen with a smile on his face.

"Lu Chen, come in quickly. When you arrive in the imperial capital, your father will definitely reward you." Xu Qinghong didn't have the princess's air, and said softly, looking at Lu Chen.

Du Feng, who was on the side, couldn't help showing a stunned expression on his face when he saw this scene. He knew the temperament of Princess Qinghong, and he could never be so caring about a commoner. The identity of this person must definitely not be what it looks like. simple.

Ignoring Du Feng's expression, Lu Chen stepped onto the carriage and directly entered it.

"It's time to set off and get to the imperial capital as soon as possible. If there is any further delay in the journey, this princess will definitely report to her father." Xu Qinghong glanced at Du Feng and said with a loud voice.

At the same time, after she finished speaking, without waiting for Du Feng's reply, she lowered the curtain and retreated into the carriage.

"This..." Du Feng looked distressed, the dignified imperial princess, and a man in the same carriage, when he returned to the imperial capital, if the king knew about it, he would definitely not spare him lightly.

After a moment of silence, Du Feng still didn't dare to speak any more, but after a secret sigh, he ordered to set off to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Inside the carriage, Xu Qinghong looked very happy, explaining to Lu Chen the prosperous style of the Imperial City from time to time.

Lu Chen smiled faintly, just nodded slightly. For the Imperial City, he had a feeling in his heart. The confusion and incomprehension in his heart, as well as the woman in the picture scroll, all the answers should be found in the Imperial City. .

"Lu Chen, you don't have a bag on your body, but you always carry a picture scroll. What's on it?" Xu Qinghong's gaze fell on the scroll in Lu Chen's left hand and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and after taking a glance, he took out the scroll and then gently spread it out.

Xu Qinghong's face was full of curiosity, and he quickly raised his eyes and looked into the scroll. At the same time, the woman in the painting also fell into her eyes instantly.

"She's very beautiful...is it your friend?" Xu Qinghong's complexion was slightly complicated, and she raised her head to look at Lu Chen and whispered.

Lu Chen looked at the woman in the picture scroll with a confused look in his eyes again. After a long time, he sighed, slowly retracted the picture scroll, and then raised his head to look at Xu Qinghong.

"I don't know her, maybe it's a friend. If I can meet them all one day, I would also like to ask who she is." Lu Chen's face showed a self-deprecating smile.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xu Qinghong squeezed the corner of her mouth and said again: "Are you going to the Imperial City for her?"

Lu Chen shook his head slightly. He wanted to go to the imperial capital. This was his childhood dream. There may be some reasons for this mysterious picture, but it is not all.

"Going to the Imperial City, I just want to prove my guess that the dream is really just a dream, or..." Lu Chen didn't finish his words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and his face Divine consciousness is elusive.

At this time, Xu Qinghong smiled again when she heard that Lu Chen went to the imperial capital not for the woman in the painting.

As for the words behind Lu Chen, although she didn't quite understand them, they didn't seem to be important to her.

"If you are willing to stay in the imperial capital, I can ask my father to give you an official position in the court." Xu Qinghong smiled happily.

Lu Chen chuckled slightly. Even though he didn't have much interest in official positions, he couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of the person in front of him at this time, so he stopped talking and just nodded slightly.

......

On the official road, with the **** of the Imperial Forbidden Army, the two of Lu Chen just entered the imperial capital city in less than three days.

At noon on this day, the hundred-man contingent of the imperial army was already approaching the bottom of the imperial capital, and Lu Chen's figure also walked out of the carriage at the same time.

"Is this the Imperial City..." Lu Chen followed the imperial army, standing under the city wall, raising his eyes and looking forward.

I saw in front of them, a solid city wall came into view. The height of the city wall made people look up. It was covered with traces of time, spreading to both ends as if there was no edge.
