Chapter 223 Arriving at the Imperial Capital 【Second Update】

early morning.

Lu Ning came out of the tent.

Not far from the temporary camp they built was a small river, and Chi Tong was squatting by the river, staring intently at drinking water, holding a sharpened wooden stick in his hand.

Chitong has always been in charge of the food for the team, and this has never changed.

Lubbock was retrieving the lines he had wrapped around nearby trees in case of nighttime hazards, but the night was uneventful.

As for Maine, I haven't seen it yet.

"Wake up."

Najieta was looking at the map on the grass, and noticed that Lu Ning came out of the tent, and said hello to Lu Ning.

"Well, good morning, I can arrive at the imperial capital today."

Lu Ning walked to Najieta and looked at the map on the grass.

Najieta nodded, and said: "At the previous speed, it is enough. When we arrive at the imperial capital, it will be almost evening, which is just right for us to sneak into the city."

riverside.

Chi Tong, who was staring at the river intently, murmured softly.

"Buried..."

The sharpened wooden stick in his hand stabbed out quickly, three times in a row, the river water splashed, and the three herrings had been pierced together like candied haws on a string.

One drop of the splashed water landed on Chitong's hair, she stood up with a wooden stick wearing a fish in her hand, she looked like a cute and cute girl, she couldn't tell that it was the scariest thing that made countless people frightened. Strong killer.

There were already several sticks beside her, all of which were covered with various fishes. Chitong put the sticks in his hands aside, counted the number carefully, then nodded, and took the sticks towards her. The direction of the campfire.

"Eat grilled fish this morning."

Looking at this scene, Lu Ning tilted his head and said.

Ordinary people really can't bear this kind of food that is all meat three times a day, but he has no problem as a contractor, the only regret is that Xiaomeng can't scream.

Otherwise, let Xiaomeng possess her perfect skill of grilling fish and barbecue, which is really a lethal weapon if used to attack Chitong.

A certain dream: "..."

Seeing that Chitong didn't have anything to do with him, Lu Ning glanced at the camp and asked casually, "Where is Ma Yin?"

"I haven't woken up yet."

Najieta pressed one hand on the map, looked at the map intently, and said casually: "She is a bit lazy, she is almost done, you go and wake her up."

【This idea is very good】

Lu Ning silently gave Najieta a thumbs up, and walked towards Ma Yin's tent.

Going in from the simple tent, there are two floors that catch your eyes, one has been cleaned up, it should be Chitong's, and on the other floor, Ma Yin is rustling in her clothes, when she saw Lu Ning walk in , his expression froze suddenly.

"Oh, you're already awake, then I'm leaving."

Lu Ning spoke expressionlessly, and then exited the tent, as if nothing had happened.

Ma Yin froze there until Lu Ning's figure disappeared for a few seconds, and then a crazy thought came to her heart.

【So why did you enter the girl's tent so naturally! 】

This sentence was held in her throat, but Lu Ning had already left and couldn't utter it, which made Ma Yin feel a little bad.

……

By the raised bonfire.

Chitong was concentrating on making breakfast, turning over the grilled fish on the wooden rack, picked up a branch to look at it, and then pierced the three herrings on it with a wooden branch.

"Here, it's baked."

After forking the grilled fish one by one, she took one in her mouth, and handed the pierced grilled fish to Lu Ning and the others with both hands.

Lu Ning took one casually, and handed one to Ma Yin beside him.

"Humph!"

Ma Yin snorted heavily, turned her head away, and instead of taking the grilled fish handed over by Lu Ning, she approached the wooden rack and took one from the wooden rack by herself.

Najieta turned a blind eye to this scene, while eating grilled fish, while thinking about the next thing, and the members of the Revolutionary Army next to her were not surprised.

but.

Originally, after grilling one fish per person, there should be three left, but after Ma Yin took one, there were only two left on the grill.

With the grilled fish in her mouth, Chitong silently looked at Ma Yin, and just stared at Ma Yin.

"Uh……"

Ma Yin turned her head away to ignore Lu Ning, but after noticing Chitong's gaze, she felt overwhelmed.

Lu Ning looked at this scene with a strange expression on his face, and suppressed a smile.

Tsundere meets foodie, who is stronger and who is weaker?
"..."

In the end, Ma Yin couldn't bear the lethality brought by Chitong's cute eyes, and when she was about to say I'll give it back to you, Lu Ning put the extra grilled fish back on the grill.

Seeing that the number of grilled fish on the grill had returned to three, Chitong silently withdrew his gaze and continued to eat.

The breakfast episode passed quickly.

After packing up, Najieta, Lu Ning and the others set off again, heading towards the imperial capital, and finally arrived at the central city-state of the empire in the evening.

Although the empire is not the only country on this planet, it is the most powerful country with the largest land area.

The only thing that can stand against the Empire is the Western Kingdom.

Others, such as the foreign nationalities in the south and the foreign nationalities in the north, are all existences that were hanged and beaten by the empire. They cannot be regarded as countries at all, but can only be called tribes.

From its establishment to the present, the empire has gone through a thousand years, and the imperial capital, which has been continuously built during these thousand years, is undoubtedly a magnificent and huge city-state!

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking from a distance, you can see the majestic and majestic palace in the center, which symbolizes the core of the power of this millennium empire.

Outside the palace is a residential area.

Those were the residential quarters belonging to the nobles, which lined the outer ring of the palace.

Further outside, there is a towering wall that completely separates the inside and outside of the imperial capital. Inside is the central city of the imperial capital, and outside the high wall is the so-called slum.

The towering high wall separates the nobles from the poor, and the insurmountable wall also symbolizes the insurmountable gap between the poor and the nobles in this country.

Beyond the slums, there is another layer of walls, completely enclosing the imperial capital.

"arrive."

"The imperial capital..."

Najieta, Lubbock and the others looked at the huge imperial city-state from a distance, with different expressions on their faces, and a little bit of complexity in their eyes.

Only Ma Yin and Lu Ning looked very calm. It was the first time for both of them to see the imperial capital with their own eyes, and it was the first time to arrive at the imperial capital.

"No matter what happened in the past, we are here now."

Najieta took a deep breath, raised her arms towards the distant imperial capital, and clenched her palms tightly. The images of Estes, the minister and others flashed in her mind.

A flash of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said: "This time, let us personally bury this decayed thousand-year-old city-state!"

In Chi Tong's heart, Hei Tong's figure flashed away.

In Lubbock's mind, the past flashed by.

In the depths of Lu Ning's eyes, the black shadow of the reincarnation team disappeared in a flash.

[If it is the reincarnation team, they may pay attention to the entrance of the imperial capital, and they may not be able to enter while disguised at night. The best way is to climb over the city wall]

Lu Ning thought so in his heart, and said to Najieta next to him: "Although the sky is already dark, I still suggest turning in from the city wall instead of trying to go through the main entrance."

"Cross the city wall, that's a little troublesome."

Najieta looked at the outer city walls of the empire in the distance, and said, "But this is also the safest way, okay, that's it!"
