Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 35: First Visit to the Imperial Capital
In the early morning, the mist was thick and the former Xianghe Inn had been burned to ruins.
A large group of Blood Rain Guards masters protected the seemingly ordinary carriage and set off for the imperial capital.
There were only Mr. Fei, Fei Xinlan and Fei Qing in the carriage.
"Dad, have some tea."
Fei Qing served the tea himself.
Master Fei took the tea, took a sip and sighed, "After listening to you talk about so much, I realized how many dangers you have experienced over the years. Dad's vision is far inferior to yours, but I still want to remind you... It's lonely at the top, so you should be cautious and prepare more ways for yourself."
"At my current point, there is no way back. Only by moving forward courageously can I deter the villains." Fei Qing said calmly, "Dad, you don't have to worry. I stand on the side of His Majesty. In the entire world... His Majesty is the supreme being."
Master Fei sighed secretly.
If Your Majesty is truly supreme, the previous emperor would not have died young, and the current emperor would not have risen from a prince to an emperor in one step.
"Dad, I have followed His Majesty for many years. I followed His Majesty when I was in the palace. Everything I have was given by His Majesty. I have no way out." Fei Qing looked at his father. "I asked you to come here in my letter because of the current situation. I was afraid that some opponents would do whatever it takes to secretly control you. So when I noticed that the situation had changed, I immediately summoned you to the imperial capital. In the imperial capital... with His Majesty's care and the deterrence of the dean of the martial arts academy, even if I fall, you will still be safe and the Fei family can still continue."
"Dean Ming from the Martial Academy?" Mr. Fei was surprised.
"Well, I asked His Majesty to intervene, and only then did Dean Ming agree... to accept Xinlan as his disciple." Fei Qing said.
"Accept me as your disciple? Who is Dean Ming?" Fei Xinlan wondered.
Fei Qing said: "The best master in the imperial capital!"
"The best master in the imperial capital? How good is he?" Fei Xinlan was very curious.
"Did you see it?"
Fei Qing looked outside through the window. "There are so many Blood Rain Guards masters around us, and even Wang Jiuyan, the envoy of Nanzhen Prefecture... If all the masters cooperate with each other, and Dean Ming has one sword, all the masters will be slaughtered even if they rush forward fearlessly."
Fei Xinlan was confused: "So strong?"
"He is the best in the imperial capital. Even if there are many incredible masters in the world, Dean Ming is probably one of the top three in the world." Fei Qing said, "At least I don't know who is stronger than him. For so many years, he has carried two swords on his back. But no one has ever forced him to draw the second sword!"
"You are able to have him as your teacher! I, your elder brother, have paid a lot, you must cherish this opportunity." Fei Qing looked at his sister. This was also a great supporter he found for his family.
Fei Xinlan nodded.
"Oh, right." Fei Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Xinlan, you have grown up now. After coming to the imperial capital, you must also prepare for your lifelong affairs. If there is someone you like, you must tell big brother."
"I'm not in a hurry." Fei Xinlan blushed a little, "Don't talk about this."
"I heard from my father that you specially selected three people for the guards this time, and two of them are men?" Fei Qing looked at his sister jokingly. He hadn't seen her for many years, and the little girl had grown up, but from her facial features and eyes, she could still see the shadow of her childhood. Fei Qing also wanted to make up for the years of debt.
"Um. "
Fei Xinlan continued, "It was too dangerous to come to the imperial capital this time. Many people died. Senior Sister Qiu broke one of her hands. Brother Luo luckily survived. Brother Jing was very powerful, but he managed to escape from the hands of the Black Lotus Sect's Dharma King with great difficulty."
"Those guards who died will be taken care of, and those who survived will not be treated unfairly ." Fei Qing nodded. As a man of great power, he was used to the deaths of his subordinates.
"I heard from Old Lu that the guard named 'Jingming' is also from Lanyue City? He is only 30 years old this year?" Fei Qing said. Among the three people chosen by the girl, only Xu Jingming made Fei Qing pay attention. As for Qiu Tong and Luo Baichuan... they are still too weak.
Master Fei said, "Yes, Guard Jing has been very attentive all the way here."
"He's a promising talent." Fei Qing nodded slightly.
"Brother, if you treat them badly, I will be very angry." Fei Xinlan stared at her brother, "They are all trying their best to protect me and Dad."
"Don't worry, little sister." Fei Qing smiled and rubbed his sister's head.
…
After chatting with his family for a long time in the carriage, Fei Qing got out of the carriage and rode on horseback with Wang Jiuyan.
"Brother Jiuyan, please forgive me for my slowness." Fei Qing said.
"You haven't seen your family for many years, so naturally you have a lot to talk about." Wang Jiuyan smiled.
Fei Qing said: "To thank Brother Jiuyan, I will recommend a talent to you."
Wang Jiuyan was stunned: "Talent?"
It is rare to find someone of his status and position who is qualified to be called a talent.
"A martial arts genius." Fei Qing said, "Three months ago, he was only a second-rate master. In the past three months, he has made rapid progress... Last night, he even escaped from the hands of the Night Dharma King of the Black Lotus Sect."
"What?" Wang Jiuyan was shocked. "He escaped from the hands of King Yefa?"
"If you don't believe me, you can investigate. It was three top-notch masters who joined forces! The other two were killed instantly by King Yefa, but this martial arts genius survived with a spear, and he didn't even get hurt." Fei Qing said, "With his growth rate, do you think... will he become a new 'super top-notch master'?"
"What's your name?" Wang Jiuyan asked immediately.
A first-rate master is nothing in the imperial capital.
After all, many talented people in the world have flocked to the imperial capital, and many players who are citizens of the universe have also come to the imperial capital. There are indeed quite a lot of people who have reached the first-class level.
But the 'super first-class realm' is extremely rare.
"His name is Jingming, and he's from Lanyue City." Fei Qing said.
Wang Jiuyan nodded: "I understand."
…
In the afternoon, the huge Blood Rain Guard team arrived at the imperial capital.
"Is this the imperial capital?" Xu Jingming, Qiu Tong and others were all amazed. What a magnificent and huge city, the city wall was twenty feet high! Looking up, it was like looking at a mountain! The city wall stretched to the end of the field of vision.
This is the imperial capital, the largest city in the Blood Rain World! It is a place where countless gold and silver gather, and where masters gather.
"Imperial capital, here I come." Xu Jingming's blood was boiling.
The hope of earning '10,000 gold' in the imperial capital is even greater! He was lucky enough to successfully protect the Fei family father and daughter to the imperial capital and successfully hold the thigh of Commander-in-Chief Fei.
if……
He, Xu Jingming, died in battle while serving as a guard! That identity is gone.
If the Fei family father and daughter were killed or abducted, not only would they not get any credit, but they would be guilty!
Therefore, Xu Jingming had to sigh that he was lucky to have been able to ensure that the Fei family father and daughter arrived in the imperial capital safely.
"Get out of the way."
"Get out of the way."
The guards at the southern gate of the imperial capital immediately cleared the crowded gate to allow the mighty Blood Rain Guards to enter the city.
"grown ups."
When the guards at the city gate saw Wang Jiuyan, they all knelt on one knee, extremely respectful.
Although Fei Qing is one level higher than Wang Jiuyan in terms of official position ! But Fei Qing is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Region of the Empire, an official from outside the region! And Wang Jiuyan is the 'Southern Town Envoy', one of the four major town envoys of the imperial capital, directly in charge of countless people in the South City. How dare the guards at the South City Gate neglect him?
"I heard that the imperial capital is a mixed bag of people, and there are many experts." Qiu Tong looked around on horseback and said to Xu Jingming, "The Blood Rain Guards of the four prefectures in the imperial capital are responsible for suppressing all parties and maintaining order in the imperial capital. They have great power. Because of their great power, they are divided into four prefectures. That Lord Wang... is the governor of the Southern Prefecture of the imperial capital! In the imperial capital, he is definitely a great figure."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Fei Qing always rode side by side with Wang Jiuyan on horseback, which showed that their status were similar.
"The imperial capital is full of masters. We are insignificant here." Xu Jingming took a quick glance and felt the terrifying aura hidden in this huge city.
That was the spiritual power of a large number of top masters, forming a natural aura! In this city, even top masters had to be careful.
"After all, this is the imperial capital!" Qiu Tong's eyes were blazing. "This is the place with the most masters in the world. When you live, you should come to this place where the winds and clouds gather to explore and experience it. Even if you die, it can be considered that you have not lived in vain!"
Xu Jingming glanced at Qiu Tong.
Yes.
For the indigenous people, the Imperial Capital has a special meaning. Although most of the indigenous people have always heard of the legends about the Imperial Capital, very few of them have the chance to visit it in their lifetime.
…
"Um?"
In a mansion in the imperial capital, there is a pavilion on a rockery, where you can see far away. At this moment, a beautiful woman in purple clothes was sitting in the pavilion reading a book. Suddenly, she noticed something and looked up into the distance.
Under cellular-level control, the eyesight of both eyes is also excellent, and can clearly see the Blood Rain Guard team on the street in the distance.
At first glance, her eyes were fixed on Wang Jiuyan.
Wang Jiuyan noticed something and turned around to look.
The two people's eyes met from a distance of two miles.
"Lord Wang." The beautiful woman in purple smiled slightly.
Wang Jiuyan looked at her calmly, ignored her, and continued riding forward.
whoosh!
A figure appeared out of nowhere in the pavilion, it was an old woman.
"Check what our Lord Wang and Commander-in-Chief Fei are doing outside the city." The beautiful woman in purple ordered.
"Yes, master." The old woman responded and disappeared quietly.
The beautiful woman in purple looked at the scroll in her hand, frowning slightly, but with a thrilling charm. She whispered softly: "Wang Jiuyan, Wang Jiuyan, you are such a blockhead. If you had married me and I had helped you with all my strength, you would have soared to the sky long ago. Why do you despise me so much?"
With her vision, she has only had eyes for Wang Jiuyan for all these years.
…
Prince Qi's Mansion.
"Wang Jiuyan led the Blood Rain Guards masters, each with three horses, and traveled at full speed with light equipment. They finally arrived at the most critical moment and scared away the Night Dharma King of the Black Lotus Sect. The Fei father and daughter survived." A subordinate reported respectfully.
Prince Qi sat there, laughing and feeding his concubine wine.
"Yes, drink it." Prince Qi watched everything with a smile, and a little wine spilled and flowed onto his concubine's chest.
Prince Qi lowered his head to lick it clean, then raised his head and glanced at his subordinates: "Wang Jiuyan again? This Wang Jiuyan has ruined so many good things for me! I think he is a talent, and I have treated him well and made friends with him time and time again, but he never gave me face and even ruined my things!"
"Your Highness, do you want to make him suffer a little?" The subordinate said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Tell me."
Prince Qi was curious, "How did you make Wang Jiuyan suffer? I'm very curious, when did you become so capable?"
The subordinate smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I have no ability, but if the prince wants him to suffer, he will definitely make him suffer."
"I don't have that ability."
Prince Qi shook his head. "This Wang Jiuyan is different from Fei Qing! Wang Jiuyan is deeply rooted in the imperial capital. His personal achievement of super first-class status is not the most important thing. The most important thing is... his hidden power is very strong. Whether it is the Courtesan Palace or the Blood Clothes Building, many hidden forces in the imperial capital seem to have a brain disease, and all of them stand on the side of Wang Jiuyan. Among the four governors of the imperial capital, he is the most difficult one."
"On the surface, I have the Southern Palace Blood Rain Guards under my command, and there are many other forces in secret. How could this Wang Jiuyan be so disrespectful to me? It would be great if we could be friends." King Qi had been coveting Wang Jiuyan for a long time.
The men dared not say a word.
"It's fine if the Fei family father and daughter survived. Anyway, the dead were Fei Qing and the Black Lotus Sect's people, so I didn't lose anything." Prince Qi smiled and waved his hands, continuing to coax his concubine, "Beauty, let's continue drinking."
The men immediately retreated obediently.
…
Fei Mansion.
In the imperial capital, the Fei Mansion was considered a relatively ordinary official residence, but it was very comfortable for more than a hundred guards and dozens of maids and servants to live in it. Xu Jingming, Qiu Tong, and Luo Baichuan were also temporarily living in the Fei Mansion.
"Thank you, sir." Qiu Tong said gratefully.
"You are Xinlan's senior sister, and Xinlan has repeatedly asked me to take care of you. If you want to thank someone, thank Xinlan." Fei Qing smiled and nodded.
Qiu Tong nodded, obviously excited.
"Go ahead, prepare well, and be ready to take office in three days." Fei Qing said.
"I'll take my leave." Qiu Tong had already called himself a subordinate and walked out of the pavilion.
Xu Jingming also came over from a distance at this time. Qiu Tong blinked at him with an unconcealed smile, which made Xu Jingming understand: "It seems to be a good thing."
In the pavilion.
Fei Qing sat there, watching Xu Jingming approaching.
"This person's strength has improved rapidly, but his past experience is very vague. How can a village outside the city train a second-rate expert?" Fei Qing thought to himself, "If I wasn't sure that it was my sister who called him as a guard, I would have suspected... that he was planted by the enemy."
As a citizen player of the universe, as Xu Jingming's status rises, the world's targeting will also become stronger.
Of course, his current status is still very ordinary, he is just a guard.
"Jingming, greetings to Lord Fei." Xu Jingming bowed.
"I know about your contributions in escorting me all the way." Fei Qing looked at Xu Jingming and nodded, "My sister has repeatedly asked me not to treat you unfairly. I will give you two choices. One is to send you to be a palace guard! Palace guards are responsible for protecting His Majesty and the princes and princesses for a long time, and they have a bright future. If His Majesty takes a fancy to you one day, you will soar to the sky. Of course, you can only start as an ordinary guard at the beginning."
" Another way is to join the Blood Rain Guard! I have a wide network of contacts in the Blood Rain Guard, and you can serve as the captain when you first join." Fei Qing said, "I promise you, as long as you make enough contributions, you can be promoted to the position of a centurion. This is the limit of what I can do."
"The Blood Rain Guards in the capital are different from those in the local areas. The recruitment threshold is very strict! The position of a hundred households is already very rare, and it is higher than the rank of the leader of the Blood Rain Guards in a local city. The position of a thousand households... even requires the imperial approval of His Majesty." Fei Qing said, "You can choose one of these two paths."
As a citizen player of the universe, Xu Jingming had already collected intelligence about the Blood Rain World and had a general understanding of the situation in the imperial capital.
His choice...
Of course, it is to obtain '10,000 gold' faster.
"Thank you, sir." Xu Jingming said respectfully, "I am willing to serve as the captain of the Blood Rain Guard."
