C349 Yue Lan Empire

With the The City of Innocence as the center, Yue Lan, the Great Seal, and the Shadow Cavalry were the three great empires. The three kingdoms were mutually controlling and restricting each other. In order to survive, some of the smaller nations around them would sometimes be attached to these three kingdoms.

After flying for a long period of ten days, the group of Dark Snake Hawks had long since entered the borders of Yue Lan Empire. At the same time, it was also nearing the day Qiao Feiyan would wake up from her slumber.

On the back of the black snake eagle, everyone's clothes and hair were fluttering in the wind. Han Chen looked at Qiao Feiyan, his eyes filled with gentleness. There was less than two months' time, and what kind of mood would he have at that time?

Would it be as torturous as when Shen Yu was separated from him?

Qiao Feiyan also realized that Han Chen was secretly watching her. She raised her eyebrows and looked back at Han Chen with a hint of mischievousness in her eyes. It was like, "What are you looking at?"

Han Chen could not help but laugh, while Qiao Feiyan also revealed a smile. Sometimes, happiness was just that simple.

"Yan Wu, why do you look like you have such a heavy heart?" Han Chen suddenly turned to look at Yan Wu. It seemed that in the past few days, the other party had been silent. Although he didn't say much in the past, he would at least say a few words.

Yan Wu coldly swept him a glance, "You don't need to care."

With a single sentence, he had blocked Han Chen's path, and Han Chen couldn't help but reveal a depressed expression on his face. Qiao Feiyan pursed his lips and smiled, looking a little gloating.

"The imperial city is just ahead. Everyone, get ready to land."

The words of the Monte caused Han Chen and the rest to come back to their senses. In front of them, rows upon rows of tall buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion. One by one, the houses on the broad and grand shore. The house was very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big, very big.

People were coming and going on the wide street. From afar, it looked like ants were moving. The imperial capital of the Yue Lan Empire was bustling with activity.

It was only here that the group of guards on the Dark Snake Hawk began to relax. The mission of escorting the princess back to the palace could be considered as completed.

At this time, over a thousand elite guards in silver armour had already gathered at the main entrance of the Yue Lan Empire Imperial Palace.

The guards spread out to the left and right, leaving a fifty meter gap between them. The floor of the passage was covered with a red carpet, and everything looked solemn and dignified.

At the entrance of the Imperial Palace stood more than a dozen chancellor and generals of the Empire dressed in luxurious robes. All of them had respectful expressions on their faces. They all clearly understood that Princess Fei Yan was the king's most precious daughter, and they could not afford to offend her.

When the black snake eagle started to fall, over a thousand of the silver-armored guards simultaneously raised the pike in their hands and pointed it straight at it. An orderly yet vigorous voice resounded through the world.

"Welcome back to the palace Your Highness, your subordinate pays his respects to you, Your Highness."

"Welcome back to the palace Your Highness, your subordinate pays his respects to you, Your Highness."

Under this grand ceremony, the Dark Snake Hawk landed smoothly on the ground. Qiao Feiyan, Han Chen, Yan Wu and the Monte were the first to land. The other black armored soldiers followed after him.

The ministers from the empires hurried to greet him, bowing respectfully to him. Your Highness, you have finally returned. "

Qiao Feiyan slightly nodded her head, yet, she did not discover the emperor's figure within the crowd. She could not help but ask, "Where is father?"

The leader, a official in his forties, stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the king is currently in charge of the country's affairs. He doesn't have the time to come."

"Oh." Qiao Feiyan replied somewhat dejectedly.

"Your Highness." Accompanied by a hearty and excited voice, a young officer walked over. The young officer wore golden armor, and he had an awe-inspiring presence. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was extremely handsome.

"It's General Xi Shaocheng." Just now, the eyes of the leader of the civil officials lit up, and the other ministers all revealed expressions of admiration.

"Princess, you're back." Xi Shaocheng looked at Qiao Feiyan with burning eyes, not concealing the admiration in her heart. But when he saw Han Chen standing beside Qiao Feiyan, he couldn't help but frown. Who are you? You dare to stand together with the princess? "Hurry up and retreat."

Han Chen also frowned, and was about to open his mouth to refute. Qiao Feiyan took the lead and said, "General Xi, these two are my friends."

"Friends?" Xi Shaocheng glanced at Han Chen and Yan Wu, but he still did not show any intention of restraining his emotions, "Your Highness, how could you casually bring someone who doesn't know his or her place and doesn't know his or her identity with you?"

"Who did you say wasn't three or four?" Han Chen's anger rose as he asked coldly.

"Hmph." Xi Shaocheng's eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, "I'm naturally talking about you, this general orders you to immediately withdraw, and not to get any closer to the princess."

"Enough." Qiao Feiyan finally could not hold it in anymore, and her beautiful face flushed slightly, "General Xi, he is my friend, what do you mean by publicly disrespecting him?"

Seeing that Qiao Feiyan was infuriated, the few officials advised him.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. General Xi is only considering your safety. I hope that Your Highness does not blame me." The leader of the officials said.

"That's right!" Your Highness, General Xi has never had any intention to offend you. "

"Please calm your anger, your highness."

Han Chen squinted his eyes, thinking that Xi Shaocheng was not that old compared to him, but he had just made a small mistake and there were already so many people here to speak up for him. From this, it could be seen that the other party's background was extraordinary.

Xi Shaocheng also felt that he was being a little excessive, he immediately lowered his voice, "Princess, I was only worried about your safety."

"Hmph." Qiao Feiyan looked at him snappily, then turned her gaze towards Han Chen and Yan Wu who were behind him, "Don't be angry, you two!"

Yan Wu spread her hands and casually replied: "Why should I be angry? It's not about me. "

Qiao Feiyan became even more embarrassed, and went forward to hug Han Chen's arm, "Can you not be angry?"

Everyone around was startled, even Han Chen. It was precisely because he was too close to Qiao Feiyan just now that he was rejected by Xi Shaocheng for no reason at all. Right now, Qiao Feiyan was trying to 'please' him so that he would explode from anger.

The corner of Han Chen's eyes swept across them, only to see Xi Shaocheng's burning jealousy. Han Chen raised his eyebrows, and an evil thought flashed through his mind. Then, he gently caressed Qiao Feiyan's nose as he replied gently.

"Idiot, how could I possibly rise up!"

When this scene occurred, all of the ministers and generals present had stunned expressions, even Monte was surprised. Looking at Qiao Feiyan, she did not seem to be angry at all, and her beautiful face carried a faint happiness and sweetness.

Xi Shaocheng was so angry that his entire body was trembling, his fists were clenched tightly, and he even had the urge to rush forward and kill Han Chen on the spot.

"It's good that you're not angry." Qiao Feiyan was gentle and lovable, but this kind of gentleness could only be enjoyed by one person. Han Chen, I will first have Monte bring you and Yan Wu to rest, I will first go see royal father, and then I will go look for you guys later, alright? "

"Yes." Han Chen nodded.

Accompanied by the Monte and a group of black armored guards, Qiao Feiyan, Han Chen and the others entered the Yue Lan Empire's Imperial Palace. The civil and military officials and ministers behind looked at each other in dismay.

"Your Highness seems to be very close with that kid." One of the officials squinted his eyes, walked over to the gloomy Xi Shaocheng and said, "General Xi, you are too angry. "How can that brat be compared to you? His Highness has only been temporarily deceived by him."

Another martial general said, "That's right, General Xi, you have the strength of the seventh stage of the morphogenesis even though you are so young. that brat is probably only at the third level of morphogenesis. Besides, you are a family of generals, why should you be jealous of him? Who is a dragon? Who is the worm? Everyone could tell at a glance. I believe that the princess will recognize the truth sooner or later, don't you think? "

Hearing everyone's words, Xi Shaocheng's face relaxed a little. Letting out a deep breath, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Humph, if that kid is sensible, then it would be fine. If he dares to be so close to the princess again and again, I will make sure that he will not be able to bear the consequences. "

Yue Lan Empire Royal Family, Royal study.

The room was decorated extravagantly. A middle-aged man around fifty years old was sitting on a large dragon throne right above him. The man wore a dragon robe and was extremely handsome. An aura of dominance that couldn't be concealed was revealed between his brows. Although he was only in his fifties, the man's black hair was already streaked with silver.

This man was the king of the Yue Lan Empire, Qiao Hongyu.

Qiao Hongyu's brows tightly knitted together, his eyes full of seriousness as he appraised a scroll in his hands. From the look on his face, he seemed to be being disturbed by something.

Cluck cluck! At this moment, a light knocking sound came from the door.

"Come in." Qiao Hongyu said indifferently without even raising his head. At this time, most of the guests were palace maids who came in to buy tea.

The door opened, and a figure slowly walked towards Qiao Hongyu. When she reached the desk, she placed a cup of freshly brewed tea onto it with her white, lily-white hands.

"Alright, you can go now. I'll call for you if you need anything." Qiao Hongyu still continued to handle the things in his hands.

"Drink the tea while it's hot."

Qiao Hongyu's body trembled as he immediately raised his head, with a face filled with thick joy. Yan'Er, you're back? "

Qiao Feiyan gave a shallow smile, "This son pays his respects to royal father."

"Haha, Yan'Er, you're finally back. I've missed you so much." Qiao Hongyu immediately pulled Qiao Feiyan to the dragon chair beside him and sat down. His brows relaxed, and his previous serious and fretful expression immediately changed to one of concern. Yan'Er, have you gotten used to the Five Prefectures? I forgot that you came back today, look at my damn memory. "
