Under the Root

Chapter 20 Agree, open the door

imperial capital.

The Yamato National Ethnic Center was opened up by Emperor alone hundreds of years ago.

Inside the tall city walls and the huge city gates, there are neat and orderly roads like a chessboard, with towering buildings standing among them.

Not only is it backed by mountains, the neighbors are surrounded by hills, and there are rivers running through the capital, it is completely at the right time and place.

At the same time as the center of the empire in the true sense.Countless swordsmen and celebrities poured into this place from their respective hometowns.

Politics, culture, education, medical care.In any way, this place is at the top of this era after the disappearance of human beings.

Anyone who has seen the imperial capital will convincingly admit that this is a veritable center of the world.

Here is convincing, here is amazing, here is desirable.

However, now Li Lin and his party, who are busy with travel and dust, are not in the mood to express their emotions.

because...

"Is this really the imperial capital?"

Standing on the road leading to the main entrance to the north of the imperial capital, Jiu Yuan looked around.

It is true that the road paved with stone slabs is wide and exquisite, but there are no pedestrians.It's important to say again, there are no pedestrians on the road leading to the main entrance to the north of the imperial capital.

Not to mention merchants, mercenaries or the army, there are not even any people in the city.

Somewhat strange.

"I'm sure this is the imperial capital." Following behind Jiu Yuan, the general of the right guard of the imperial capital, Oshtel, whose alias is Youjin, looked at the scenery in front of him and frowned suspiciously.There was no one on this road full of traffic in the past, and he had never seen such a situation since he came to the imperial capital to take up his post.Although I don't think what can happen here, it is still disturbing.

"You wait here, I'd better go and have a look." He held the hilt of the long sword at his waist.he suggested.

"No need, let's go together. I think with the two of you here, we can't be in any danger, right?" Li Lin said.

"Yeah, since we're all here, no matter what we want to see Youye return home safely, how can we delay here." Jiu Yuan on the side also nodded.Her cute animal ears are constantly shaking.It was as if he was constantly listening to the sounds around him.

"Okay. That's it, Ukon. Even if something goes wrong, it's not difficult with the two of us. The first priority now is to send His Highness Yuba and His Highness Lulutie to the imperial capital." And the imperial capital Zuo Konoe General Lei Shen also agreed with Li Lin's statement.The imperial capital can be said to be their territory, and if someone can trick them here, it would be a joke.

"That's right, Your Highness Lulutie." Thunder God rolled his eyes at the most beloved princess in Jiuzhong.

"Hey? I listened to Yuba Jiang." Lulutier said habitually.

"Okay, then I will be in the front, and the left and right will be in the back." Oshtel, who was persuaded by the overwhelming vote, led the way ahead with the three "ladies" guarding in the middle.

The journey is not far away, no matter how you arrive at it, you can see the entire building complex of the imperial capital.

Moreover, along the way, there were no bandits, bandits, mercenaries, troops or other groups with force. The group arrived in front of the main entrance of the imperial capital which was several floors high.

The main entrance is engraved with engravings that are enough to be called works of art, but it is a pity that there are no sergeant guards either.

"Huh? What's going on." Now, even Thor was a little surprised.There were no pedestrians, and even the soldiers guarding the main gate were missing.This is not right.

You must know that the one who is guarding the imperial capital today is the deployment under the command of General Zuo Jinwei.

And without my own orders...

"Zuo Jin, knock on the door." At this moment, Li Lin's order came from behind Thor.

"Knock on the door? Okay." Thor, who originally wanted to say that knocking on the door was useless, remembered Li Lin's "excellent" performance in the past few days, and still obeyed his order.

dong dong dong.

Just like the guest, knock hard.

However, the voice that did not intend to receive a response received an unexpected and gentle response.

"Ah la la. Is Master Zuo Jin back?"

This sound is...

"Lord Honoka." Thunder God was startled. "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" the voice behind the door laughed.

You are Omiyaji, serving that person in the holy temple is what you should do.Wait, that one.

"It seems that Mr. Zuojin has thought of it. It was the master who asked me to come here, and the closure of the front of the imperial capital was also my order." Omiyaji said.

"That's right." This made it clear that, with Omiyaji's noble body, he did have the right to mobilize the troops under his command in his absence.

Then.

"I have already brought the highness the master wants to see. Lord Suixiang, please open the door." Lei Shen bowed and said to the woman.

"I would love to do it right now, but I can't."

"What?" Thor was startled.

"How should I put it? Various things have happened, and the master's mind has also changed." The voice behind the door said.

"Change?"

"Yes. But the next conversation is not with you. The master wants me to talk to His Royal Highness Yuba. Could you please step back for a while?" Behind the door, Omiyaji said in a tone that seemed to be a request but an order .

"..." Thor was silent.
