Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

This is the first time I have come to Beyond the Great Wall. As soon as I got off the carriage, I was attracted by the endless greenery.On the other side of the grassland is the vast sky, the blue sky with idle clouds, and the strong wind blowing on it.

Not far away, the people from the Northern Kingdom got off their horses, and Gong Yanglu led the crowd to salute me, "It's our honor that the Ninth Prince came so far away. Our Majesty knew that and specially sent an old man to pick up the Ninth Prince."

I nodded to Gongyanglu, "Master Gongyang, when will I be able to see the king? I brought some small gifts from the Central Plains, and I want the king to see it."

"Ninth Prince, don't worry, Your Majesty is in the capital, we will have to spend some time from here."

Although it was expected, I was still a little disappointed. I wanted to see the King of the North as soon as possible.Along the way, I was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, but Gongyanglu seemed to take me here specially for sightseeing. I want to introduce this place, explain that place in detail, and even mention the lakeside I am about to pass.

"Mr. Gongyang." I couldn't hold back after holding back for a long time, "It's been hard work for you to pick us up."

The implication - words can be less.

Gong Yanglu stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "It's not hard, Ninth Prince, look, what a beautiful scenery beyond the Great Wall, I think this is not inferior to the soft red and fragrant capital."

It turns out that they want to prove that their country is also very good, so I can only agree with a smile.At night, we slept in tents.I also slept in tents when I led soldiers to fight before, but I never felt such a strong wind.

I was lying in the tent with the whistling wind in my ears.Suddenly, my cheeks felt hot, and it was Cai Weng who came over.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Cai Weng asked me.

I turned my head, "I'm afraid that this trip will return in vain, and it will delay time."

Cai Weng rubbed my cheek, "No, Master told my fortune, saying that my life is very good, and I can live to the old age. If I can live to the old age, it proves that I will not fail this time."

I couldn't help laughing, and with Cai Weng's relief, I seemed to be less nervous.

After a few days, I gradually felt that Gongyanglu seemed to be doing Tai Chi with me. I walked slowly on the road, and when I asked him about the King of the North, he would smile and change the subject.

It took nearly [-] days to walk from the border of the Northern Kingdom to the King of the North, and this was the result of almost no rest during the day.At night, the weather outside the Great Wall was suddenly cold, and it was impossible to travel at all.

But I didn’t expect that I couldn’t see the King of the North even when I arrived in the capital. The servants of the North Kingdom came to spread the word that the King’s Tatana side princess had given birth to a child. The capital, but the city capital hundreds of miles away from the king's capital.

"When will the king come back? I also want to send a blessing to the concubine who gave birth to Lin'er." I asked.

The attendant was serious, he only said that the return date of the Northern King was unclear, and he also mentioned that we had just entered the capital and needed to be baptized.

At this moment, I realized that this peace negotiation might be very difficult, and the King of the North obviously didn’t want to see me, so I sent Gong Yanglu to take me to see the scenery of the North Kingdom first.

But now I can't say anything, I can only wait for the time being.

In the afternoon, a group of us followed the Northern King's valet to accept the baptism he said. When we arrived at the place, I couldn't help being stunned by the building in front of me.

Under the warm sun, not far away is a huge statue of an eagle, and behind the eagle is a warrior, who is riding a big horse and is aiming at the eagle with a bow.It is majestic and majestic, coupled with the white stone walls and arched houses behind, it has a different kind of magnificence.

The attendant noticed my pause, and introduced the statue of the warrior to me with great pride, "This is the Itaachi warrior of our country. He is invincible on the battlefield. As long as it is his prey, no one can escape."

"It's amazing." I praised from the bottom of my heart, because my archery skills are really bad.

Hearing my praise, the valet finally smiled the first time he saw me, and his attitude towards me was much better after that.

"Don't be too nervous about the baptism later, our Lord Wu Ming is very kind... Ninth Prince, what's wrong?" His words stopped suddenly, and we realized that we were distracted.

In fact, I have known for a long time that it is inevitable that I will meet Lin Chongtan when I come here.It's just that I didn't expect the meeting to be so unexpected, I... I'm not ready yet.

"It's nothing." I smiled at my valet.

The attendant continued to introduce me to the baptism. Although he said a lot, in short, the wizard will take holy water and sprinkle each of us with holy water, and then read a prayer for us.

This is a small baptism, and there is also a big baptism, but the big baptism is too heavy, it is only suitable for the most distinguished guests, and among us, only I have the qualifications to accept the big baptism.

When Song Nan heard that I was going to be baptized alone, she immediately stood up and said, "No, our Ninth Prince cannot be alone."

The servant looked at Song Nan with disgust, with an expression that ordinary people don't understand, "This is a gift from the gods to the Ninth Prince."

After listening to the details of the great baptism, I also don't want to accept this so-called great baptism, "The gift from the gods is what I want, but this time I am going to your country as an envoy, not as the nine princes, but as an envoy. If I have the honor to accept the great baptism, so Master Ling has the same status as me, and also has the honor."

Ling Wenyi next to him also nodded and said: "Yes, I and the Ninth Prince are both envoys, so we should be baptized together."

The attendant glanced at me and Ling Wenyi, "The two adults will be baptized together."

Although I still haven't rejected it, at least someone is walking with me.The place we came from is called Foil Moon Palace. Niu Xi and the others separated from me and Ling Wenyi when they arrived at the front hall. They needed to receive a small baptism in the front hall.Cai Weng can't avoid it either, it can't follow me to the apse.

There is a natural lake between the front hall and the back hall. When passing by, I noticed a group of red-crowned cranes beside the lake.

"This is raised by Lord Wu Ming. He likes red-crowned cranes very much." The attendant said beside him.

I withdrew my eyes from the red-crowned crane, grabbed the cloak slightly, and stepped on the stone steps.The back hall is more luxurious than the front hall. This kind of luxury is different from the capital and Gusu. The luxury of the capital and Gusu is exquisite, but here is a kind of wild and rough.

And the red-crowned crane is not compatible with this kind of rough and wild luxury, but it is not too out of harmony.

The attendant led us into the inner hall, I thought I would see Lin Chongtan, but I didn't.Ling Wenyi and I went to change clothes first, served by the servants of Foil Moon Palace. The changing rooms are separate, and what surprised me even more is that the place where the baptism is performed is also separate.

I looked at the pool in front of me, and couldn't help but stop, "Master Ling, don't you want to join me?"

The servant Zhong Yuan who served me didn't speak well. He explained a lot to me, but I only understood a few words.I shook my head, expressing that I didn't want to be baptized alone. After speaking, I turned around and wanted to leave. Before the servant could stop me, I saw a figure first.

The sun was shining on the window, and I watched the tall figure walk from the window to the door.

It was Lin Chongtan.

He was dressed in the color of snow from head to toe, only his black hair and eyebrows were mysterious.The servant immediately walked forward with lowered eyebrows and said something to Lin Chongtan in the northern dialect in a low voice.

Lin Chongtan tilted his head to listen, and cast his eyes on me for a moment.There was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was gentle, "Does the Ninth Prince feel that something is not thoughtful?"

He looks exactly like when I first met him when I was 13 years old.
