Last night, the entire imperial capital was almost up all night, and all warriors took to the streets to celebrate the upcoming birthday of Emperor Chu.
dawn.
Inside the Tianshuizong Palace.
Suzerain Chu Xi, Patriarch Zhang Bailiu, Holy Son Lin Bai, and other Tianshui Sect disciples were all ready and gathered in the welcoming hall to wait.
The suzerain Chu Xi and the patriarch Zhang Bailiu both wore the suzerain's robes and patriarch's robes that belonged to the highest standard of Tianshui sect.
The robes of Tianshuizong are mainly white and blue, which symbolizes the water mirror sea and Tianshuizong.
The suzerain Chu Xi's suzerain robe is white as the background color, with a faint cyan cloud pattern on the neckline and cuffs, and a ribbon tied on the top of the head, fluttering in the wind, like a fairy.
The patriarch Zhang Bailiu's robes are mainly pure white, and his white hair is tied up with wooden hairpins. With his thin body, he looks quite a bit of an extraterrestrial, fairy-like appearance.
Lin Bai's saint son's robes are mainly white and blue, which is similar to suzerain Chu Xi's, because the saint son's robes are determined according to the suzerain's robes.
After all, if there are no accidents, the Holy Son will be the next suzerain.
"The clothes look good, I designed them." While waiting, Suzerain Chu Xi winked at Lin Bai with a smile.
Lin Bai glanced at his robe, the blue and white colors set off his burly and strong figure, with a faint smile on his face, he was full of heroism, like a handsome young man.
"The suzerain still has vision." Lin Bai praised with a smile.
After all, she is a woman from the royal family of Chu State, and Ziyou grew up in incomparably luxurious clothes. Her aesthetics is naturally much better than those idiots who only know how to practice in Tianshui Sect.
"Stop talking, the envoy is coming." Patriarch Zhang Bailiu looked serious and meticulous, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked firmly outside the gate of Tianshui Sect.
Today is the birthday of Emperor Chu.
This is a major event that happens once every ten thousand years in the Chu Kingdom.
Although the patriarch Zhang Bailiu had made clear arrangements for the disciples of the Tianshui Sect, he was afraid that there would be some mistakes in the birthday. If something serious happened, it would be bad.
Lin Bai and Chu Xi silenced one after another, calmly waiting for the royal envoy to arrive.
The sky was dim, and the faint light between the sky and the earth became clearer and clearer.
Just then.
The Tianshui sect warriors with keen eyes and ears heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the market at the entrance.
Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang... The sound of the hooves of the horses was particularly pleasant, as if the sound of water droplets falling.
Hearing the sound, Lin Bai guessed... This is the sound of horseshoes exclusively for the royal family of Chu. The royal family even gave this sound a nice name, "Echo of Qingquan".
After the sound of horseshoes outside the door came to the main entrance, there was no sound.
Not long.
An old eunuch, followed by more than 20 young eunuchs, walked quickly into the palace and came to the Tianshuizong people.
The old eunuch first smiled and nodded to Chu Xi as a salute, and then took out the imperial decree he was holding in his arms: "Please accept the decree from Tianshui Sect Master."
Patriarch Zhang Bailiu had already warned suzerain Chu Xi how to deal with it. Hearing the voice of the old eunuch, suzerain Chu Xi took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"Chu Xi, the suzerain of the Tianshui Sect, follows the orders of Emperor Chu."
The old eunuch maintained a solemn expression, and read out the imperial decree meticulously, "Specially order the Tianshui Sect patriarch Chu Xi, the Tianshui Sect elder Zhang Bailiu, and the Tianshui Sect son Lin Bai to go to the ancestral temple in the imperial city to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors."
"Except for the suzerain, the elders, and the holy son, the rest of the Tianshui sect disciples followed to welcome the envoy and went to the hunting world to wait for the banquet."
"There must be no mistake."
"Tian Shui sect leader."
The content of the imperial decree was simple and shocking, and Lin Bai, suzerain Chu Xi, and patriarch Zhang Bailiu also looked quite calm after hearing about it.
After all, they already knew the specific process of Emperor Chu's birthday.
Immediately.
After the suzerain Chu Xi received the imperial edict, the old eunuch smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, the carriages and horses are already waiting outside the door. If the Tianshui Sect is ready, we can set off."
The suzerain Chu Xi took the imperial decree, first looked back at Zhang Bailiu, and then went out with the old eunuch after getting Zhang Bailiu's nod of approval.
Before leaving, the patriarch Zhang Bailiu turned around and said to the other Tianshui Sect disciples: "Go to the hunting world and find our Tianshui Sect seat, try not to cause trouble!"
"We will follow the teachings of our ancestors." The other Tianshui Sect disciples took orders in a low voice.
Outside the Tianshuizong Palace, more than 20 deer carts were parked.
After the Tianshui Sect disciples walked out of the house, the Suzerain Chu Xi, Patriarch Zhang Bailiu, and Shengzi Lin Bai boarded a deer cart ahead, while the rest of the Tianshui Sect disciples rode in other deer carts.
After leaving the Tianshuizong Palace, more than twenty deer carts separated at the end of the street. One of the deer carts headed towards the imperial city, while the others disappeared in the bustling streets of the imperial capital.
The deer cart with the emblem and flag of the royal family was walking in the market, and all the pedestrians and warriors in front of them gave way one after another, and respectfully saluted the deer cart.
These warriors all know...the people who can still take the royal deer cart to the imperial city today are the guests invited by Emperor Chu without exception.
No one dared to trouble them today.
The deer cart passed through Fangshi and gradually entered the royal road belonging to the imperial city.
The imperial road has been cleared at this moment, and every ten meters beside the road stands a soldier holding a spear and wearing a battle armor.
They wore helmets and masks. On the cold masks, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes appeared from the holes in their eyes, examining the deer carts entering the royal road.
After the deer carts of the Tianshuizong Palace entered the imperial road, Lin Bai raised the curtain and looked out the window. He saw many royal deer carts coming from all directions, entering the imperial road at the same time, and walking towards the imperial city.
Although there were more and more deer carts, the imperial road did not seem crowded at all, and they moved forward silently in an orderly manner.
All the deer carriages were extremely quiet, without the slightest abnormal noise.
"Forbidden army!" Patriarch Zhang Bailiu also raised the curtain on the other side, saw the soldiers on both sides of the royal road, and murmured in a low voice.
The imperial army, in Chu State, is the soldiers who specialize in defending the imperial city.
These soldiers were all carefully selected, not only their identities were clear and clean, but they also had absolute loyalty to the Chu royal family.
The most commendable thing is...these officers and soldiers of the imperial army are all geniuses above the martial arts, and their cultivation bases are not weak.
Suzerain Chu Xi looked out from the gap on Lin Bai's shoulders. After seeing the imperial guards, she felt disgust in her eyes, "The imperial guards of the royal family of Chu are divided into two types."
"One is the forbidden army you see now."
"The other one, called the 'Dragon Scale Forbidden Army', is the guards around Emperor Chu."
Suzerain Chu Xi curled her lips and said: "These forbidden soldiers standing by the roadside are all very low-level, and the most powerful ones are the dragon-scale forbidden soldiers. The strength of each dragon-scale forbidden soldier is comparable to the realm of Taiyi Daoguo. "
When Lin Bai heard Chu Xi's words, he suddenly realized that there was such an unknown and mysterious and powerful army beside Emperor Chu.
