Zhi Xuan

The clan didn't embarrass them for too long, nor did they end up bumping their heads against the wall.When the news spread to the palace, the servants rushed to deliver the decree, and opened the gates on all sides of the capital to welcome the four princes into the city.

At the same time, Prince Huai drove the king's chariot out to meet him. Ritual music was set up in the guard of honor, which was played before leaving the palace, symbolizing the importance and courtesy to the four princes.Such honor, no other princes can match.

Amidst the sound of ceremonies and music, the atmosphere continued to rise, and the people in Zhongdu were full of voices.

Zu Wu quickly got into position and picked up the hinge neatly.

The slave chanted, kicked his legs hard on the ground, his arms, shoulders and back muscles swelled up, and they turned the wooden disc with all their strength, tightening the thick noose around his arms.

Three-meter-long wooden poles extend out of the wooden plate, each of which needs to be embraced with both arms.The surface of the wood is uneven, and the totem of beasts and birds is carved.There are dark marks on the edge, like coagulated bloodstains.

The flames of war in the capital city were extinguished, and all traces of the battle could not be erased.

To this day, the clan workshop in the city has not yet been completed, and almost ordinary buildings need to be rebuilt.The Guorenfang has not been completely restored, and the new buildings are across the street from the old houses. Different building materials and colors of the walls make the old and the new clear.

The noose pulled, making a creaking sound.

The drawbridge behind the city gate was lowered and smashed across the moat with a bang.

Amidst the dust, the heavy city gate slowly opened.

After receiving the order, Zhixuan and the others parted ways after paying tribute to each other. The attendants led the way and went to different city gates.

The early autumn wind blows, carrying the fragrance of millet and wheat.

Banners painted with totems fluttered in the wind, hunting.

The soldiers of the four countries were fully armed and formed a square formation while marching.All of them held their heads high and held their chests high, majestic and heroic.

In front of the battle, the horses neighed, drums and horns blared, and tigers leaped like dragons.

The sound of drums and horns spread into the city, pressing down the bells and chimes of ritual music, as mighty as the sound of the nine heavens.

There are four city gates in Zhongdu City, three of which are closed all the year round, and only one gate is allowed to enter and exit.

Today, the four gates are all opened to welcome the four princes.

This kind of glory was unprecedented, and the city residents were shocked and did not mention it. The monarchs who arrived first heard the news, and they also walked out of their lodgings one after another, setting up guards of honor to welcome the four princes.

The sound of drums and horns came to an end, but the sound of ritual music continued.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the music is not only from inside the city, but also from outside the city.

There was a long howling sound suddenly, shaking the eardrums, like a sharp instrument splitting hard wood, or like a knife edge splitting silk.

Everyone listened intently, long howls came from all sides, continuous, the pitch fluctuated, and gradually became harmonious in the collision.

At the wide open city gate, more than a dozen barefoot witches appeared one by one, holding bone and bronze utensils, jumping around and praying loudly.

The costumes of witches are similar, the totems on their bodies are quite different from the inscriptions on their faces, and the colors and shapes show the characteristics of different countries, which are completely different.

The country of Xiyuan is black, the country of Bei'an is red, the country of Dongliang is green, and the country of Nanyou is colorful.

The shamanism competitions in the four countries are normal, the voice keeps rising, and the footsteps are getting faster and heavier.Every step is accompanied by chanting and shouting, and the bone and bronze vessels in the hands are swinging accordingly, which is weird and mysterious, as if communicating with the ancestors and offering sacrifices to the ancestors.

At a certain moment, the shamans of the four countries stopped their movements at the same time and pulled out their daggers from their waists.

"Feast!"

The same sacrificial words sounded, and the witches reversed their wrists, pointed the blade at their foreheads, and pressed down suddenly.

The cut was flat, a thin line at first, and then blood oozing.More and more red, gradually spreading to the forehead.The blood traced the lines on the witch's face, spread out, and quickly covered the entire cheek, blocking the witch's sight.

"Feast!"

Wu roared again, and the movements of the dozen or so people were surprisingly unanimous.

Bronze wares, bone wares, and daggers were raised to the sky. Without sacrifice, they sacrificed their own blood to pay homage to the ancestors of the past dynasties.

After the solemn ceremony, the sound of the ceremony and music suddenly rose, like the ice breaking on the river and the boulders entering the water, setting off waves of turbulent waves.

Banners painted with totems pass through the city gates, covering the sky and the sun.

The banner is a chariot drawn by horses.

According to the etiquette system, the chariot of the princes is drawn by six horses. The body is exquisitely carved.

Behind the chariot is a majestic soldier, tall and mighty, with lightning-like eyes.

Long halberds like a forest, armor like black ink, a long sword at the waist, and a round shield inlaid on the arm armor, this is the Ministry of Xiyuanhou.

Spear in hand, armor the color of fire, carrying a square shield, more cavalry than infantry, this is under the command of the Marquis of Bei'an.

It is also covered in red armor, but with a colored feather on the helmet, complete with long halberds and swords, lined up with cavalry, this is a strong army under Nan Youhou.Because Zhao Hao's enthronement has not been long, Zhao Hao's army has not had time to change his clothes, and he still bears the distinctive Bei'an logo, which is really eye-catching.

Compared with the richness and color of the first three, Donglianghou's team is like a clear stream.The entire army is dominated by blue, with bright colors, unlike Xuan Chi, which exerts strong pressure on people, and breaks into everyone's eyes like a cloud falling down, fresh and fresh.

The four chariots headed towards each other, and their destination was in the center of the city.

A large banner was erected there, symbolizing Prince Huai, the new ruler of the world.

Under the big banner is a neat line of private soldiers of the royal family.

After a bloody battle, the royal private soldiers were no longer as weak as before.Although it is not as good as the elite soldiers of the four major princes, it can be used at any rate, and it is no longer a product that will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Prince Huai stood on top of the chariot, dressed in a uniform and with a sword on his waist.Because the ceremony has not yet been held, he cannot wear a crown, but can only wear a jade crown with the totem of the royal family.

All kinds of musical instruments are arranged on the left and right sides of the team. The musicians wear white robes and leather belts around their waists, playing one after another ancient and magnificent sounds.

There are thousands of empty alleys in the city, and the roads are surrounded by mountains and seas, so crowded that nothing can get through.

Very different from the previous noise, when the princes drove past, the crowd seemed to stop and fell into silence.

Looking at the four monarchs on the chariot, the chest was filled with excitement and awe, and the shock was beyond words.The voice was suppressed in the throat, and the eyes of the throat were dry and dry, and it was difficult to make a short single sound.

The citizens of Zhongdu are no strangers to the Marquis of Bei'an.

The Marquis of Bei'an has been on the throne for more than [-] years, during which time he visited Zhongdu several times.Every time I come here, there are huge crowds of people on both sides of the street, and most of the people in Zhongdu have seen his demeanor.

The eyes of the city people were mostly focused on Zhixuan and the three of them.

Especially Marquis Xiyuan, who is too young, too handsome, with brilliant military exploits, and well-known all over the world.No good words are spared on him.

Every once in a while, there will be rumors about Xi Yuanhou in the city.

Legend has it that he was favored by the gods, and a big fish jumped out of the water on the way, and fell straight in front of the car;

Legend has it that he is gifted with supernatural powers and can attract thunder and lightning;

Legend has it that he was so clever and martial arts that he beat Di Rong in the grassland and ran away with his head in his arms.During World War I, half of the Eastern Liang Kingdom was forced to die in shame and indignation. The new Eastern Liang Hou bowed his head and let the soil only seek peace and a truce.

What's more, he said that he was double-faced, arrogant and domineering, and he wrote letters to persecute the king, and he had the heart of disobedience.Of course, such rumors are limited to private, and no one dares to publicize them publicly.Otherwise, if Zhi Xuan doesn't do anything, for the sake of face, the royal family will not forgive him lightly.

The most admirable is the way of making money by Marquis Xiyuan.

Since Zhixuan came to the throne, domestic and foreign trade routes have opened up, and novelty products have emerged in an endless stream.If wine, pills, etc. are circulated among the upper clans, there are many buyers and few sellers, and the new products are often sold out as soon as they arrive, and there is no market for them in all countries.

It is heard that Prince Huai and Marquis Xiyuan have a trade relationship, and what they do is fruit wine and pill business.After several trades, the earnings can be called astronomical.The most important thing is that through this kind of scarce goods, Prince Huai has attracted people's hearts and won many fans.

All kinds of rumors about Marquis Xiyuan have always been talked about by people in Zhongdu.

Even if Zhi Xuan didn't show up in Zhongdu City, there is no shortage of legends about him in the city.With this extraordinary sense of presence, Zhixuan dared to call it the second, and no one dared to call it the first.

The rumors have lasted for a long time, and the old has not gone and the new has come again, casting a veil of mystery on the young Xi Yuanhou.People in Zhongdu became more and more curious about him, and they wanted to see him.

Now that the wish has come true, the shock is extraordinary, and I just feel that meeting is far better than being famous.

In the world's perception, Yi Xiyuanhou's martial arts and martial arts should be a great man who stands upright.The closest image is to have arms like iron, a back like a mountain, a waist as big as ten girths, a voice like a bell, and a meal to measure.

Zhi Xuan's appearance is completely different from what he imagined.

Wrapped in a black gown, the young man is slender and tall.The jade belt strangles the thin waist, and the king's sword hangs on the belt.Elegant as bamboo, gentle as jade, and handsome as rosy clouds, it shows the nobility of a king.

Where the chariot passed by, everyone stared wide-eyed, holding their breath and concentrating, lest they miss a moment.

It wasn't until the chariot traveled far away that his eyes were only on the back, and his sanity returned.They looked at each other, and exhaled deeply, the excitement was uncontrollable.

The Marquis of Xiyuan is as expensive as Hulian, the lord of the Big Dipper.Mo Yan said that the princes of the world are not as good as the prince Huai.

The citizens of the city sighed deeply, immersed in the dignity of the king, they did not realize how treacherous and outrageous it was to compare the king of a country to Beidou in the city of Zhongdu under the rule of a king.

As Zhixuan passed by, everyone fell into shock and couldn't recover for a long time.

On the long street that Zhao Hao passed by, the townspeople were silent, not to mention moving, not even daring to breathe loudly.

In the eyes of everyone, the new Nanyou Monarch has an extraordinary appearance, almost monstrously beautiful.The whole body is cold and full of evil spirit, which often makes people ignore the beauty, leaving only the coldness like a blade.Wherever his eyes looked, it seemed as if a sharp knife was hanging on his neck, making one's spine chill.

As expected of the god of killing that made Di Rong frightened!

It is worthy of being the evil star who went to Nanyou in the First World War and made the Nanyou clan fear like a tiger!

Compared with Zhixuan and Zhao Hao, Dongliang Hou was set off very kindly.

This is not to say that Liang Ba is so approachable.It's just that compared with Zhixuan and Zhao Hao, he has no legendary body, no evil spirit, and a rather confusing face, which is simply synonymous with kindness in the eyes of Zhongdu people.

But kindness is kindness. People in Zhongdu mentioned Donglianghou, and they couldn't help but think of the previous national war, shaking their heads and sighing: Compared with Xiyuanhou, Donglianghou's martial arts is too weak.

Little did they know that the Dongliang Army, which had been beaten so badly by Zhixuan, was chasing Dongyi all over the mountains and plains, acquiring large tracts of land and capturing tens of thousands of slaves.

This kind of combat power has nothing to do with being weak at all.

Only when they met the army of Xiyuan country, would they get the reputation of a weak army.If the opponent is replaced by the royal family's private soldiers, it is not a problem at all to kill a few in and out in the capital city.

In the eyes of everyone, the four chariots passed through the long street, getting closer and closer to the Dazhu.

Standing in the car, Prince Huai saw Zhi Xuan approaching for the first time, recalling the first time the two met, the memory flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt as if he had been a lifetime away.
