Red Emperor

"Your Highness, the Son of Heaven has led an army to Youzhou. Let me hand over this sword to Your Highness, and tell His Highness: Going is the best strategy, and the future will be long."

A Tao offered a familiar long sword with both hands, King Yue pulled out the red scabbard, and the silver-gray sword body shone with a faint white light.

King Yue remembered the bloodthirsty sharp sword that slowly raised his twelve pearls.

That scene left a deep impression on him, not only because of Emperor Yan's outrageous behavior, but also because it was the first time he saw Hurricane Sword after many years, and it was the first and last time he wore the crown of twelve beads.

"Okay, let's start now. With this sword, we can pass through Qiancheng Gate today." King Yue said decisively.

=======================================

There are eight city gates in Yandu, two of which are special passages.

The Wancheng Gate can only be passed by the Son of Heaven.

Thousands of gates, vassals and above can pass by relatives.

Usually, there are eight gates in the city, the emperor can pass through eight gates, and the vassal king can pass through seven gates.

During martial law, the other six gates were all closed. The emperor and his party passed through the Wancheng gate, and the vassal king's trip passed through the Qiancheng gate according to the emperor's edict. The day when the three armies left the city and the day when they returned to the city were both martial law days.

Therefore, if King Yue wanted to leave the city today, he could only go through the Qiancheng Gate.

=======================================

The doorman of Qianchengmen was very uneasy. The order he received suddenly made him nervous and confused, fearing that he would be entrusted with a heavy burden.

As he paced back and forth under the door, his target came into view.

A young man in the king's uniform and a very tall young man came side by side and stopped in front of him.

The king of Yue is full of heroism, but his face is still childish.

This is too young, he sighed, feeling a little mixed in his heart.

"Your Highness, please show the jade plate." The gatekeeper heard his voice trembling, and laughed at himself: This is just a necessary procedure, the challenge has not yet come.

The King of Yue calmly took out the jade plate from his pocket, and the gatekeepers inspected it and handed it back.

"Your Highness, please show it," the gatekeeper tried his best to calmly say, "Emperor's Edict."

The two kings and kings of Yue dressed very simply, only the tall young man was carrying a red package.

The gatekeeper stared at the young man closely, he swallowed nervously, and touched the sword involuntarily.

"You don't need to be nervous," King Yue said suddenly at this moment.

With a generous smile on his face, he comforted, "My attendants are just strange-looking, not vicious."

Only then did the door clerk notice that the young man was indeed somewhat unusual, he was too tall.

Look, at least ten feet?

I saw that young man jumped off the horse neatly, his back was still straight during the process, and he was exceptionally chic.

As soon as the tall young man landed on the ground, the gatekeeper understood what King Yue meant when he said that he had "a bit of a strange appearance".

He is actually only over eight feet tall. The reason why he looks extraordinarily tall on horseback is because his upper body is obviously longer than his lower body.

The young man smiled at him honestly, stretched out his hand to untie the package on his back, it looked like a long sword.

The gatekeeper took it with a beating heartbeat.

When he opened the package, he kept praying silently, and when he pulled out the red scabbard, he even held his breath nervously.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath, and his limbs immediately relaxed.

"The Emperor's Hurricane Sword can indeed be used as an imperial edict." He said lightly, showing his first smile of the day, and turned his head to call his subordinates to open the city gate.

"Your Highness, please."

"Thank you." King Yue nodded gently, riding on horses with his attendants, they were about to pass through the Qiancheng Gate.

The gatekeeper looked at the tall and straight backs of the two, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness!" he shouted in shock.

"What else can you do?" King Yue controlled his mount to stop, turned his head and asked warmly.

He rushed forward quickly, feeling terrified in his heart, but luckily he didn't make a big mistake.

"May I have a look at the package on your Highness's back?" He said nervously.

Because the black package was the same color as King Yue's royal clothes, and the package was slender and fit on King Yue's generous back, so he didn't notice it before.

"Why is this?" King Yue asked patiently, with a calm face and a gentle tone of voice.

"Because..." he said bravely, "A nobleman in the city lost his sword, so he ordered me to pay attention to the sword when leaving the city."

King Yue smiled tolerantly, untied the package, and unfolded it. Besides some banknotes, there was also a long sword inside.

The first time the gatekeeper saw the sword, he knew he had escaped.

"This is not the sword I'm looking for." He clasped his fists together, "Your Highness forgive me, thank you for your cooperation."

"You don't need to be polite, it's just a matter of raising your hand." King Yue smiled slightly, and then asked casually, "Which nobleman lost his sword?"

"It's King An Le." The gatekeeper bit the bullet and said anxiously.

"Then I will trouble you to pay more attention." King Yue nodded and said without further questioning.

After King Yue and his attendants passed through Qiancheng Gate, the gatekeeper ordered the gate to be closed.

Today's King Yue's gentleness and patience left a deep impression on him. He had seen so many vassal kings at Qiancheng Gate, and it was the first time he had met someone who could be so polite to a mere official like him.

Besides, he was so young, handsome, and full of vigor.

He felt a little regretful in his heart, although he was just a small official, after receiving the order from the Arabian Nights this morning, he understood that even if King Yue could pass his level, it would be extremely dangerous to go there.

=======================================

The Qiancheng Gate closed slowly behind him, King Yue couldn't help but stopped his horse and looked back, but all he could see was the tall and majestic city wall.

King Yue smiled wryly and thought:

This separation, not to mention promises, did not even have a formal farewell.

Wait, is "the future will last forever" a promise?

Even if it counts, the promise is not guaranteed to be fulfilled.

Just like the last time we separated——

Seeing that his uncle had gone away, Yan Shan still held Donggong's hand reluctantly.

"Donggong, do you still remember the painting book of Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia?" Yanshan Gong hesitated, "I just yearned for the heroes of the world since I was a child... I am not... I am..."

Yanshan Gong hesitated to speak, Donggong nodded tolerantly, and held Yanshangong's equally cold hand tightly with his cold hand due to blood loss and fatigue.

"Well, don't be afraid, I will try to persuade my father and the king of Peking, and when they figure it out..." Donggong paused, and smiled slyly, "I will ride the colorful clouds to pick you up."
