Chapter 219 - South

It was already deep into the night, and the Imperial Palace was completely silent!

However, in the Song Dynasty's imperial palace, other than the time when Zhe Keqiu was there, there was no other sight of the imperial palace at all! During the day, there would still be officials that would come here. At night, other than silence, there was only silence!

Supreme Harmony Hall, Central Harmony Hall, and Preservation Hall were all dark and gloomy. There were no lights inside! Only the patrolling Royal soldiers s occasionally passed by with lanterns in their hands!

Only the Dry Clear Palace and the Kunning Palace still had light!

Zhao Chen stood at the entrance of the Dry Clear Palace, and looked at the Kunning Palace in the distance! After thinking about it for a moment, he brought a few guards and headed towards the Kunning Palace in that direction.

When he reached the Kunning Palace, he pushed open the door and entered. There was only one room with lights on!

Zhao Chen headed towards the room, there was a person inside! This person was sitting at the table and reading a book under the light of the lantern! The light was dim and yellow, yet this person was watching with incomparable focus, and had not even noticed Zhao Chen's arrival!

Zhao Chen thought about it, and still entered the room!

He came behind this person, but this person still did not notice! Zhao Chen stood quietly behind her for a long time, she must be tired from watching so she turned around, and shouted out loud and stood up!

"Your Majesty!" She was about to kneel down, but Zhao Chen had already supported her.

"Are you all right?" Zhao Chen looked at her and smiled.

"I'm fine! When did Your Majesty return? " This woman was naturally Zheyue Ru, and Zheyue Ru asked softly.

After not seeing Zheyue Ru for a long time, Zheyue Ru was still as beautiful as ever! Her skin was abnormally white and her skin was as thick as cream. Her eyes were abnormally bright, as if they were stars in the sky! Her expression was as gentle as ever, as if it would always be the same! However, there was a trace of loneliness on her face. This was something that could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried! Of course, besides being lonely, there was also the excitement he felt when he saw Zhao Chen!

She no longer had any other relatives in this world. To her, Zhao Chen was the only family left!

"I came back this afternoon! You're reading a Dao book? " Zhao Chen said.

"Hm!" It's a Dao book borrowed from Patriarch Wang! " Zheyue Ru said.

At the moment, the two were extremely close, and after smelling the young man's scent from Zhao Chen's body, Zheyue Ru's face could not help but turn red!

"Why are you interested in this?" Zhao Chen flipped through the book, and said with some surprise.

"My humble concubine has nothing to do in the Imperial Palace, so I can only read some Daoist books to pass the time!" Zheyue Ru said softly, her voice carried a trace of hidden bitterness, causing one's heart to ache.

"I should have accompanied you more!" Zhao Chen said gently.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Zheyue Ru said.

Zhao Chen nodded, sat on the bedside, then beckoned for Zheyue Ru to sit beside him too! After thinking about it, he simply picked Zheyue Ru up and went upstairs, causing Zheyue Ru's face to turn red as he allowed Zhao Chen to hug her.

"I'm going to Sichuan. What do you like, I'll bring it back for you?" Zhao Chen said.

Zheyue Ru shook her head and did not say a word.

"If you don't say it, I'll choose it for you! You like painting. Jiajiang's pen is not bad, He Chuan's inkstone is not bad, as well as ebony paperweight and so on, I will bring some back for you! And there are some other interesting things, I think they are quite good, so I'll bring them back to you! " Zhao Chen said.

Zheyue Ru nodded slightly.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, let's play chess!" Zheyue Ru said.

Zhao Chen laughed, and said: "Alright!"

With the two of them playing chess together, the surroundings became quiet. Their hearts were also tranquil!

It had been a long time since Zhao Chen had felt this way. All these years, he had been constantly in wars and handling state affairs. A peaceful life like this could only be enjoyed with Zheyue Ru!

The loneliness and loneliness on Zheyue Ru's face seemed to have disappeared a lot. To her, playing chess with Zhao Chen was already her greatest joy!

After playing a game of chess, Zheyue Ru and Zhao Chen started to talk about poems and paintings. She took out some poems and drawings that she had written over the past half year and showed them to Zhao Chen excitedly. Her poems and paintings were also filled with loneliness, but they also had expectations! She hoped that Zhao Chen could win, that Zhao Chen could return safely! In this era, the expectations of married women were nothing more than this. She was no exception!

When Zhao Chen finished reading the poems and drawing, the two talked for a long time. Zheyue Ru was already tired!

The two of them laid on the bed in their clothes, still chatting until Zheyue Ru fell asleep!

Zhao Chen took a deep breath and sat cross-legged, meditating and training!

When Zheyue Ru woke up on the morning of the second day, she found that Zhao Chen had already disappeared. The only thing that remained beside him was a piece of paper.

Zheyue Ru kept the piece of paper carefully, she looked out of the window, and revealed a faint smile.

"May the Bodhisattva bless you and return from Sichuan! May my Song Dynasty prosper day by day, as soon as possible! May father be reincarnated, and in his next life, he will be safe and auspicious, without any disasters or disasters! " She closed his eyes and prayed.

However, for some reason, her eyes became moist, and then tears began to fall like rain.

Zhao Chen had already left the Middle Han Area and was heading towards it!

Over a dozen guards followed beside Zhao Chen. These guards were all figures at the peak of the Postliminary Realm! In this era, it was extremely rare for a Xiantian master to reach the peak of Houtian realm.

Kang An was also beside Zhao Chen!

"Your majesty, they are all training in the Changchun View and have just returned back to the Managed! I heard that His Majesty is going to Sichuan, so I decided to transfer them here! " Kang An laughed.

"In that case, you're all my senior brothers!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"This humble subject and the rest do not dare!" The guards said somewhat fearfully.

"What martial arts did you learn from your teacher?" Zhao Chen said.

All the guards started to talk about the martial arts they had learned! Zhao Chen let them practice a few moves, but when Zhao Chen saw it, he secretly nodded his head. These were all martial arts from the same sect as the Dream Butterfly Sword Technique, but it was much simpler than the Dream Butterfly Sword Technique!

"Your majesty, the Wang Zhenren even passed down a formation to us!" A guard said.

"What formation?" Zhao Chen said in shock.

"This array formation can combine the strength of seven people. If seven people work together, they will be able to resist a Xiantian master!" The guard laughed.

"Could this be the Heaven Dipper Dipper Formation?" Zhao Chen said.

"It turns out that His Majesty already knows of it!" The guard was startled as he said.

They had also received Wang Chongyang's orders to teach Zhao Chen the [Heaven Dipper Formation]! They thought that Zhao Chen had never heard of the Northern Dipper Formation before, but they never thought that Zhao Chen knew about it!

Zhao Chen was actually also stunned there, and after a moment he laughed out loud! The legendary Heavenly Dipper Formation from the later generations was actually real! Wang Chongyang had indeed created such a formation!

"Your majesty, Wang Zhenren wants us to explain to you the ingenuity of the formation!" The guard said.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Now that the guard mentioned it, the [Big Dipper Formation] was nothing more than a combination of seven people, unleashing power that far exceeded that of a single person! Zhao Chen listened carefully from the side! He was already very familiar with Wang Chongyang's techniques as he trained in the Dream Butterfly Sword Technique and the inner force of Duo Yang. Hence, after hearing the Heaven Dipper Formation, he grasped it just by thinking carefully! On the way back, he and these guards kept discussing and studying about the formation. Finally, they had a complete grasp of the Heaven Dipper Formation!

Kang An naturally learnt the [Heaven Dipper Formation] at the side. It was just that Kang An's martial arts were military and very different from the martial arts of the sects, so it was much more difficult for him to master the formation!

Just like that, they continued their exploration. Unknowingly, they had already passed Southern Zheng, and then Qingyang Town.

The next morning, they continued their journey. That night, they arrived at the Taurus Alliance.

From here, they would enter the Taurus Society. This was the most difficult part of the entire Shi Dao!

On the 25th of April, they entered Wuding Gorge! The path was narrow, with lush greenery on both sides. Other than the sounds of the wild beasts, there was no other sound in the canyon.

The dozen or so of them continued walking. When noon arrived, they suddenly heard voices coming from behind them!
