Chapter 437 The spirit of the emperor, fighting in the clouds! (2-in-1)
The one-horned horse was no longer frightened, and his own carriage immediately went ahead. King Cui ignored King Narui and headed towards Yundi City on the island.
In fact, the one-legged horse was suddenly frightened just now. This thing was so strange that it was hard not to think that it was caused by man.
In other words, King Rui was deliberately looking for trouble to make King Cui unhappy.
I thought this move would dampen Cui Wang's energy, but Song Changming's strength exceeded expectations and did not make Cui Wang lose face just now.
King Narui watched King Cui leave, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
"When the time comes, Yun Zhongdou, don't let me down." King Rui said slowly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make that kid suffer a lot. If he is interested and obeys you, then he will give up. If not, he will no longer need to practice in the future!" Gao Qiuchi said coldly.
He was not satisfied with his performance just now.
If King Rui hadn't stopped him, he would have really taken action just now and let that kid know what a true martial arts master is!
On the other side, Song Changming had temporarily forgotten what had just happened. He sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery of the island along the way.
This offshore island can be said to be extremely valuable.
Both sides of the road are filled with spiritual plants. Any land that can be cultivated has been turned into fields and planted with crops or medicinal fields.
Relying on the rich aura environment here, the growth conditions of these plants are excellent, and when they grow up, they are all things that contain aura.
Even those rice cereals are no exception.
The spiritual rice supplied to all parties in the outside world is basically grown on the islands in this sea.
Song Changming also accepted the hospitality of King Cui in the palace and ate this kind of spiritual food.
It can only be said that compared to ordinary grains and grains, this is really a special food for warriors.
When farmers and travelers along the way saw the carriage passing by, they all took off their hats and bowed to the carriage.
They all recognized the dignity of this carriage. The thirty-six kings all had extremely high positions of power in Yunzhou.
If ordinary people are disrespectful to the King, they are enough to be sent to prison for education.
As the carriage passed by, at a certain moment, a tall white wall appeared in front of Song Changming's eyes.
The high wall is boundless and not square. It is a huge round wall with flags hanging high on the top of the wall, fluttering in the wind.
There is only a simple ancient word on the flag.
cloud.
This is the center of the great state, the home of the emperor, Yundi City!
When we came here, we saw the pinnacle of power of the Yunzhou human race!
“What a powerful talisman array”
Song Changming was the first to pay attention to the power of runes flowing on the city wall.
There is the power of the talisman array on the sea, and there are also talisman arrays on the islands that are functioning to gather spiritual energy.
In this imperial city, there are still high-level talisman formations arranged.
In the past, Song Changming had seen at most the sixth-order talisman array arranged by Mr. Qianyuan.
That is already a powerful formation that can withstand the invasion of martial arts masters and great demons.
But at the moment, the intensity of the talisman arrays appearing one after another is much stronger than the sixth-level talisman arrays laid out by Qianyuan.
Obviously this is a higher level of Talisman power!
Song Changming was not sure about the specific power of the talisman array in this city. He thought that if an ordinary martial arts master or a great demon came, the end would not be good.
Thinking of this, this imperial city suddenly gave him an invisible sense of oppression.
If he were in the main city of Cuibai, he would still be able to escape no matter what happened.
And if he commits a crime in this imperial city, he has no confidence that he will be able to escape from this city!
In addition, this sense of oppression also comes from the aura of godless kings exuding in this city.
The imperial aura is formless and colorless, it seems illusory, but it is real.
This is closely related to the theory of luck.
If the emperor's status is orthodox, it is recognized by heaven and earth. It is like being in charge of the human world on behalf of heaven, and brings with it the mighty power of heaven.
And this imperial city is suppressed by the fate of the emperor, which is intimidating.
Under the power of this emperor, it would be difficult for ordinary people not to do anything disobedient, even to have such an idea.
The more sensitive a person is, the more they can feel this powerful pressure at this moment.
It seemed like there was a pair of eyes staring at him all the time.
Song Changming felt this way at this moment.
In fact, although it was his first time coming to this imperial city, he had experienced similar feelings in his early years.
At that time, it was on the other side of the abyss, during the Great Han Dynasty.
There was also imperial power and throne there. When he went to the capital, saw the palace, the emperor and the prince, he would vaguely feel the heavy pressure.
The two are very similar, but the intensity of the pressure is very different.
The carriage drove into the city gate without being blocked by the silver-armored soldiers guarding it.
King Cui's face is the best passport.
After entering the city, Song Changming felt the familiarity of the past return to him.
The urban areas, bustling cities, shouts, streets, restaurants, teahouses, and ordinary people are essentially not much different from ordinary human cities everywhere. They are all human cities!
It's just that the Imperial City is bigger and more prosperous, and there are more warriors coming here.
"That is Emperor Yun's Yunzhong Palace." In the carriage, King Cui looked through the window at the golden palace in the distance and said.
Song Changming also looked sideways and saw the golden palace high up, surrounded by spiritual energy clouds and mist, as if it was sitting on the clouds.
Yunzhong Temple is also the name of Emperor Yun's palace.
"It's somewhat different from what I imagined." Song Changming said to himself.
All the way to the island, everything you see is pure white.
The port, the ship's hull, the white jade stone road, the walls of Yundi City, etc. are all as white as the clouds in the sky.
He thought that Emperor Yun loved white, so the palace should also be white.
Unexpectedly, it was golden and not a bit white at all.
On the contrary, the steps outside the palace are still made of white jade, and they look like stone steps to the sky in the spiritual mist.
It is said that this staircase has more than 5,000 steps. It is the existence of this staircase that makes the palace look like it is in the clouds from a distance, hence the name of Yunzhong Palace.
The carriage drove past the stairs to the sky without stopping.
The imperial banquet has not yet begun. Even if King Cui wants to enter the palace, he needs to be summoned personally by Emperor Yun.
The carriage took them to a city area not far from Yunzhong Temple.
The city is full of mansions, somewhat similar to the core city of Cuibai Main City.
This place is also the residence of many royal relatives.
All the kings who came from afar settled here and waited for the time to come.
This has always been the case.
The carriage soon stopped in front of a mansion, with the words "Prince Cui's Palace" engraved on its lintel.
"More than twenty years have passed in a flash." After getting off the carriage, King Cui sighed as he looked at the mansion in front of him.
Since becoming the queen, the number of visits to this mansion has become less and less. From then on, I would only come back for a short stay during the emperor's banquet.
When I come back next time, another twenty-five years will have passed.
"Welcome your Majesty!"
The servants greeted each other at the door and knelt down to King Cui.
"Get up, is there anything going on at home?" King Cui asked.
"Back to your Majesty, everything is well." The old servant said respectfully.
"Yes." King Cui nodded and took Song Changming into the mansion.
There are only a few servants in this house who take care of it on a daily basis, and there is no owner living there on weekdays.
As for the Hu family behind King Cui, they had already moved to Cuibai Road with King Cui.
This is also the rule promulgated by Emperor Yun.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
After being granted the title of queen, the royal family will not be allowed to stay in the imperial city, and their people will not be able to serve as officials in the imperial city.
The royal family can only be active in the fiefdom, which is one of the reasons why King Cui comes back less and less often. On the one hand, it is also to avoid suspicion.
With the title of Queen, in theory, he and the Hu family have reached the pinnacle of power, and it will be difficult to go further.
In private, he cannot reach out to areas outside the fiefdom, especially the Imperial City, otherwise he will definitely get into trouble.
That night, King Cui invited Song Changming to drink in the courtyard.
"This is Yunqiu wine, which is quite popular among the royal family. It is suitable for drinking in the crisp autumn season."
King Cui introduced him and took the initiative to pour wine for Song Changming, which made Song Changming somewhat flattered.
After all, the other party is a king. No matter how much he puts down his arrogance, pouring him wine is still too outrageous.
Song Changming took a sip of the wine in the glass. The wine had a mellow aroma, a slightly sweet taste, and a warm and dense texture. It was indeed a rare good wine.
The most important thing is the spiritual energy in the wine, which can continuously regulate his body as the wine enters his stomach.
After just one glass of wine, Song Changming felt that his body was somewhat nourished.
With his current physical strength, it can bring him such a feeling, which is something that ordinary medicinal wine can hardly achieve.
You don't need to think about it to know that the raw materials for this wine must come from this spiritual sea.
At the wine table, King Cui was in a lively conversation today, and casually told many interesting stories about his early years in the Imperial City.
Song Changming listened quietly and responded a few words from time to time.
It wasn't until after three drinks that King Cui turned the topic to this imperial banquet.
"Did Hu Zhong mention Yunzhongdou to you before he came?" King Cui asked.
"Yun Zhongdou?" Song Changming shook his head.
"Hey, this is my king's negligence." King Cui said lightly.
He thought Hu Zhong had already met with Song Changming.
"The so-called fighting in the clouds is also a part of the emperor's banquet. I don't know when it started to have this part every year.
To put it simply, one person from each place is selected to fight on behalf of the king and compete with each other to show their bravery. Naturally, you are the only person to fight on behalf of the king. "King Cui explained for Song Changming.
"Sure enough." Song Changming expected that he would be assigned to accompany him, so he must have other tasks.
The opportunity for all the kings to gather together is during the emperor's banquet.
Since they are both crowned kings of Yunzhou, there will naturally be comparisons between them when they get together.
The development of the fief is measured by the reported political achievements, and the prestige is determined by the people's hearts. Only the cultivation strength of the kings is not easy to compare.
It is impossible for kings to end easily and fight in public on such occasions.
It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, he would not be able to sit down in front of Emperor Yun.
That's why Yun Zhongdou, which allows his subordinates to fight on behalf of their respective kings, won't be too embarrassed whether they win or lose.
And this can also prove from the side that their respective fiefdoms are rich in talents.
"So the man who represented King Narui that he had seen before was the swordsman." Song Changming recalled the martial arts master who had a duel with him.
"It must be, Gao Qiuchi, I also have an impression of this person. Twenty-five years ago, he was the one who defeated the Donghuo I sent out.
At that time, he was only a warrior in the Xiantian Perfection Realm. Now, more than twenty years later, he has indeed entered the Grandmaster Realm. "King Cui nodded.
"In that case, why does the king no longer choose Marshal Hu? After all, he is already a martial arts master, and it is uncertain whether he will win again." Song Changming couldn't help but ask.
Since everyone can send martial arts masters to appear, it is undoubtedly safer for King Cui to lead Hu Donghuo.
Even if Hu Donghuo had been defeated before, that was already twenty-five years ago, and it was still in the Xiantian realm.
After such a long time, it is difficult to say the outcome of the competition.
Although he is strong enough, he has not yet entered the Grandmaster realm, so he will most likely be looked down upon when he appears.
King Cui also had his own considerations and opinions on choosing to bring Song Changming with him.
This Yunzhongdou is not completely without rules, and people can be sent on the field at will.
If not, based solely on his cultivation strength, King Cui must have brought Generalissimo Hu Zhong, and even discussed with the Su family to bring the old master of the Changsheng family to support the scene.
In fact, Emperor Yun had already explained the rules of Yun Zhongdou at an imperial banquet.
Only some younger students can be sent to participate, and they must be talents trained by the kings.
If those elders who are old or successful are sent to play, the original meaning of Yunzhongdou's existence will be lost.
Emperor Yun didn't want to see a few old men wielding swords in front of his eyes.
Naturally, no one dares to violate Emperor Yun's wishes.
Because of this set of rules, King Cui's actual range of choices was not large, only Song Changming and Hu Donghuo.
There is also a default unspoken rule in Yunzhongdou.
For the sake of relative fairness and to prevent boring abuse of food in front of Emperor Yun, in most cases, duels will be arranged between people with the same level of cultivation and strength.
That is to say, the warriors of the Xiantian realm will face the warriors of the Xiantian realm, and the martial arts masters will face the martial arts masters. This is the arrangement.
If someone wants to challenge warriors with different cultivation levels, they must obtain permission from both parties.
King Cui also took this unspoken rule into consideration when he chose Song Changming, wanting to give full play to his true strength that far exceeded the realm of cultivation.
Compared to Hu Donghuo, who had just entered the Grandmaster realm, his duel with other martial arts masters from all over Yunzhou was far inferior to Song Changming's strength advantage at the Xiantian realm.
During this trip, what King Cui wanted was not to see Song Changming compete with those martial arts masters, but to be invincible at the locked innate level, which would also make him look bright and even attract the praise of Emperor Yun.
Song Changming, who was on the side, finally understood his intention after listening to King Cui's words.
According to this usage, it is indeed more cost-effective for him to play, and this opportunity will most likely only happen once.
By the time of the next emperor's banquet, Song Changming would have probably broken through to the martial arts master realm, but he would no longer have the confidence to defeat the invincible opponents in the Xiantian realm this time.
"Haha, to be honest, I am looking forward to your performance this time. I will let those guys know that Cuibai Road is also full of talents and capable people!"
King Cui talked about this, shook the wine in his glass, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Compared with the past, this time he is no longer here to run with you, but to feel proud and proud. Naturally, his mood is completely different!
