Chapter 19 Xiyan King City

The empire begged in 841. After his eighteenth birthday, Gu Xinghe said goodbye to his father and mother, carried a heavy bag and walked out of the Mousse forest alone and went to the vast world outside the forest!

At the beginning, his father and mother were still worried about him, but after he showed his swordsmanship, the two elders marveled at his high magical power while questioning his magical power. Xinghe naturally could not explain the way of the teacher. They could only care about him. When the two old men saw his words dodge, they It will not continue to be pursued.

But in the end, he was distressed that the child was about to travel far away. The beautiful and intelligent mother prepared a lot of petty things to put in his bag. His father handed over all the money he had earned from hunting over the years and repeatedly told him to eat well and drink well and not treat himself badly.

Gu Xinghe knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times to his loving parents in this world, and then picked up his bag and left without looking back.

Dressed in blue clothes, holding a long sword, walking on animal boots, and carrying a huge bag, Gu Xinghe walked out of the Mousse Forest, which had lived for 18 years. When he walked out of the forest, he put down his bag, turned around and knelt down to the forest and bowed again. He was saying goodbye to his beloved father and mother, who had been worshipping for more than a year. The way of a cheap teacher who has never met.

Master, as you said, I have reached the peak of nine grades of refinement. Will we see each other again in the future?

Gu Xinghe clenched the Yishui sword in his hand and walked slowly to the north, where the direction of Chang'an, the imperial capital, may be there.

The territory of the Zhongzhou Empire is boundless, and Gu Xinghe only walks so fast and slowly. Although he has such a superb magic power as swordsmanship, Xinghe prefers to walk forward, tour around, and look at it at his heart. When he is hungry, he eats a few mouthfuls of dry food that his mother told him to pack up. When he is thirsty, he leans over and drinks a handful of clear and sweet streams. Tired If you are sleepy, meditated cross-legged and absorb the atmosphere of heaven and earth. When you are sleepy, lie down and sleep with heaven and earth.

Although such a day is a little lonely, he is not a person who likes to be lively. He was not in his previous life, nor is he in this life. Some people even like the life of such people on the journey, free and carefree.

This area of Mousse Forest is indeed an extremely remote place. Xinghe has been walking for more than ten days, but it has never seen a person of the same race, and even the local indigenous people have never seen one. I don't know if it is still within the territory of the Yunling Kingdom or has reached the border of other kingdoms.

He didn't care about this. He only carried his bag to the north. He knew that it was the location of the empire Chang'an. As for how far it was, he didn't know and never thought about it.

On this day, Gu Xinghe, with a single sword in blue, was sitting on the grass eating dry food and drinking stream water. Suddenly, "Dong! Dong!" The voice came from afar. He immediately put down the dry food in his hand and lay down on the grass with his sword and listened carefully.

This is an boundless prairie, which should not be the sound of wild beasts. So what is it, jackals, tigers and leopards? Or people of the same race? Gu Xinghe was very curious, so he was not ready to hide his body, but stood still and waited quietly.

......

In the autumn of 841, the empire was in the imperial palace of Xiyan, the central state empire.

"Mother, please allow me to go out of the city to hunt. This royal city is suffocating!" A girl in red with bright eyes and teeth knelt on one knee and said.

Opposite her, sitting on the golden chair was a woman who couldn't see through her age, dressed in gorgeous blue clothes, but her hair was tied up with a golden hairpin like a man. She was full of domineering and strong breath, holding pen and ink to read the memorials. Beside her, there was also a little maid who was grinding with water.

This woman is Xi Feiyun, the lord of the Xiyan Kingdom, a woman who is stronger and more determined than a man. Since her husband died more than 20 years ago, she has ruled this land alone with her young daughter.

Although the Xiyan Kingdom is a small country trapped in a corner, it has been passed down for seven generations since thousands of years ago. According to rumors, the Xiyan Kingdom was originally created by a woman, so the lords of all generations are women. Men can only be respected as ministers, while the husband of the lord of the country is only called a prince and has no real power.

Xi Feiyun, the head of the country, was originally the second daughter of the former lord, and logically, she did not have the right to inherit. However, decades ago, when she was a young girl, the eldest daughter suddenly disappeared for some reason, and the former lord died, and she inherited the throne.

Since her husband's death, Xi Feiyun has loved her only daughter more and more. She is more than 20 years old. She is a bright and active age. She often takes a team of bodyguards outside the royal city to hunt and play. She is the most naughty but extremely clever.

Xi Feiyun looked up at his daughter and smiled, "It's up to you to go out. Remember not to disturb the human people, and don't run too far away from the royal city.

Xi Qingmei heard that his mother readily agreed, so he got up to thank him, and then ran out of the palace, led his favorite white horse and led a team of attendants out of the city in a hurry.

However, since she was a child, she has become more familiar with the surroundings of Wangcheng, so this time she saw that her mother was in a good mood. When she moved her mind, she secretly ran to a farther place with her entourage, hopeing to see different scenery or fierce mountain beasts.

......

"Yes, yes..." When the distance was close, Gu Xinghe recognized that it was the sound of Ma Ming. It seemed that someone must be on his way here. He clenched the long sword in his hand, carried his bag, and continued to walk in the established direction.

Who are you? Stop it quickly!" A crisp voice sounded behind him. It was a girl's voice. Gu Xinghe didn't want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, he turned around and arched his hand and said, "I'm a passer-by. I don't know what this girl has any orders?"

The other party did not answer. Xinghe lowered his hands and raised his head. It turned out that a girl with bright eyes and teeth was looking at him carefully. Behind the girl were more than a dozen tall attendants, all wearing battle clothes and riding tall horses, but the girl in red and riding a white horse stood in front of everyone.

This girl is extremely beautiful, but she has an extraordinary spirit, delicate but not vulgar, charming but not gorgeous. If she is put in her previous life, I'm afraid she will easily compare those so-called big star artificial beauties!

The girl is naturally the princess of the Xiyan Kingdom. She led a team of entourage to run back and forth on the grassland and accidentally encountered the ancient Xinghe heading north. She had never seen her peers except in the royal city, so she shouted curiously. At this moment, she saw Gu Xinghe stared at her with a pair of eyes, with a trace of pride in his heart, but a little shyness. He opened his mouth and said, "I am the princess of Xiyan. If the distinguished guests from afar don't dislike it, I will go to Wangcheng with me for a few days!"

At a glance, you will know that this sword-drawn teenager must be an extraordinary person, not to mention the arrogant momentum revealed all over his body. Seeing that he is carrying such a huge burden, he seems to move forward easily without pressure, and he also knows that he must be a person with unique skills.

For these magical people, she has always been curious and longing for them, so she ignores the signaling eyes of her followers behind her and insists on inviting Gu Xinghe to Wangcheng, and even his name is unknown.

Gu Xinghe raised his hand and bowed, "Xiaoke Gu Xinghe, a native of the mountains, is used to walking on the grassland. I'm afraid he can't go to the royal city with the princess!"

The girl in red sighed with a whip and said, "Gu Shaoxia, isn't I good enough? Why don't you want to go to the royal city with me?"

Gu Xinghe frowned and replied, "Since the princess's hearty invitation, Xiaoke is disrespectful and asks the princess to lead the way." But he thought to himself: Since the princess invited, let's go to see what the palaces of many kingdoms look like in the Zhongzhou Empire. By the way, buy some necessary things in the royal city, eat a few delicious wine and delicious food, and then continue to go north, nibbling dry food all day long, and the birds are about to fade out of his mouth!

The servant behind Xi's light eyebrows immediately brought a horse. Gu Xinghe turned over the horse, and then followed the crowd to Xiyan King City.

......

"Nonsense!" In the palace of Xiyan Wangcheng, Xi Feiyun fiercely folded the play on the golden table, pointed to Xi, who knelt on the ground with one knee and cursed.

Xi raised her eyebrows and retorted softly, "I don't think it's wrong. Now our kingdom is short of talented masters. Isn't Gu Xinghe a master?"

Xi Feiyun said angrily, "That boy does have some ability. I hate that you didn't listen to my advice and ran to the border line. What would happen if you met other countries' troops? How can I be worthy of the ancestors of Xiyan, and how can I be worthy of your deceased father?

Xi gently knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't dare anymore!"

Xi Feiyun just sighed, but did not say anything. He raised his hand and motioned Xi to stand up with light eyebrows.

"The lord of the country, the young hero of Gu Xinghe asked for a meeting." A guard came to report.

Xi Feiyun sat on the golden chair and said loudly, "Let him in!"

Gu Xinghe was still dressed in blue cloth boots. He walked into the palace and said, "Gu Xinghe, a man of the mountains and fields, has met the respected lord."

Xi Feiyun replied, "Please don't be polite. The ancient young man is polite! I don't know what happened to the young hero going north?"

Of course, Gu Xinghe could not explain it clearly, but only replied vaguely, "Xiao Ke went north to visit relatives in Chang'an, the imperial capital."

"Puff!" With a light smile, the princess covered her mouth and smiled.

Gu Xinghe showed an unnatural look on his face and asked, "I don't know where Xiaoke said something wrong. Please ask the princess for advice."

Xi frowned and stopped laughing, looked up at her mother. Seeing that she ignored herself, she said, "Chang'an, the imperial capital, is at least nearly two years away from our Xiyan Kingdom. Even if you ride a horse, it will take at least three or four months to get there. If you go to Chang'an like you, I'm afraid you don't know what month. Only then can we arrive. Besides, not long ago, several big countries in the north have jointly blocked the road to the north, and there is no way to go north!"

Gu Xinghe had known that the territory of the Zhongzhou Empire was extremely huge, but unexpectedly it was so huge, far beyond his imagination. Even the road closure was even unexpected, he knew that he had made a fool of himself inadvertently once, so he had to smile and said, "Let the lord and princess laugh!"

Xi Feiyun said, "In this case, the young hero will be here for a few days. After the road is opened again, the young hero will go north again!"

Gu Xinghe had no choice but to thank him, "In this way, thank you for your grace!"

Since then, Gu Xinghe has temporarily lived in Xiyan King City. A few days later, through the intentional or unintentional hints of Xi Feiyun, the lord of the country, coupled with the entanglement of Princess Xi Qingmei and the blockade of the road to the north, Gu Xinghe had no choice but to temporarily take the position of the commander of Xiyan king's court and slowly become a member of Xiyan's country.

Sometimes, he even thought that such a day was actually not good, especially when Princess Xi Qingmei invited him to travel.
