Chapter Seven, Mysterious Journey
"I have disturbed the prince, please forgive me."
The person walking at the front among the visitors was a burly middle-aged man in purple with white hair and an imposing manner.
This person is none other than the King of Xizhou, Xiao Nantian, the most powerful person in the entire palace and the entire Xizhou.
Walking behind him were a man and two women, both dressed in pure white. The man looked no younger than the King of Xizhou, but his skin was delicate and white without any wrinkles, resembling the legendary old goblin. The two women
Among them, there is a very special one. She wears a red and white fox mask, and her face is covered tightly. Judging from her figure and behavior, she is definitely a stunning beauty. The strange mask adds a lot of charm to her.
A sense of humor.
Su Chen did not raise his head to look at the people approaching. He was completely exhausted and on the verge of fainting. He vaguely heard the chief steward reporting the specific situation to the King of Xizhou. If he yelled and made a fuss, most of the time the King of Xizhou would
Impatient, he ordered someone to kill him with a knife.
It was a pity that the plot did not develop as he imagined. King Xizhou was not angry about this incident, he just understood the situation and said nothing.
Then his head was lifted up by two slender fingers, and what came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Su Chen, who was originally exhausted, suddenly regained his energy. It was the mysterious woman who raised his head.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" the woman asked jokingly.
Su Chen was still wondering why she appeared now. Wasn't she afraid that he would shake her out before he died? Although he would not do this, he weakly begged, "Please kill me."
"very good."
After the woman finished speaking, she had no intention of killing him. Instead, she turned to the King of Xizhou and said, "Your Majesty, please let him go with us. He will come in handy."
King Xizhou nodded in agreement, and then led several people into the main living room.
Colleague? Could it come in handy? Su Chen was confused for a while, but unfortunately he had no strength to ask further and finally fainted.
When he woke up again in the early morning of the second day, he found that he was sleeping in his bed. He was not tied to a wooden frame or wearing heavy handcuffs and anklets as expected. Instead, there was a set of inner guard clothes beside the bed.
Includes armor and helmet.
When he was wondering, the door was pushed open and two guards walked in.
"Don't wait any longer. The army is about to set off. Hurry up and put on your clothes and gather at the south gate."
One of the internal guards expressed dissatisfaction that Su Chen hadn't gotten up yet. After urging them, they retreated outside the door, but did not leave, as if they were waiting for him.
Su Chen still couldn't figure out what was going on. He was still uneasy and felt that something bad was waiting for him, but he didn't dare to be careless and quickly put on his clothes and rushed out the door.
Following the two inner guards, Su Chen trotted all the way to the south gate of the palace. As soon as he walked out, Su Chen was shocked by the sight in front of him.
The scene on South Street was very different from the past. There was no longer a constant flow of pedestrians, and instead there was a uniform army. This army was different from the inner guards and garrison troops he usually saw. They were all wearing silver armor.
They were holding silver spears and wearing silver helmets with only their eyes exposed. In the middle of the team was a tall and magnificent carriage with silver patterns on the wheels. The carriage was not pulled by horses but by two mighty snow leopards. The entire team
Like a long silver river, it shines brightly on the entire South Street.
"Set off!"
The leading general issued a loud command, and then the entire Milky Way quickly moved westward.
"Hurry! Just follow that carriage. All actions are subject to the arrangements of the master in the carriage." One of the guards pushed Su Chen out and motioned for him to follow the team.
…
It was approaching noon, and the team had been marching for three hours. It was extremely difficult for Su Chen to follow him. He thought that he had worked a lot and exercised a lot. Although his body was thin, his physical strength was not bad, but in such a team, he
Unable to keep up at all.
It was obvious that those silver-armored soldiers were just taking simple steps, but they were moving very fast. He could only keep up by running. Although the carriage next to him had exquisite large windows, the curtains were kept open, and there was no movement. The so-called people inside
I don’t know who the master is or what he looks like.
He had been running like this all morning, and he couldn't stand it anymore. Besides, he hadn't even eaten breakfast. It was already lunch time, but the team had no intention of stopping. What on earth were they going to do? He was in such a hurry.
Are you in a hurry? No matter how anxious you are, you have to stop for a bite to eat and a drink of water.
Su Chen complained hard in his heart. He began to wonder if that certain queen had come up with new ways to torture him and make him run until he died of exhaustion. Who was it?
He originally planned to start a new life after leaving Yecheng, and no longer worry about who is behind the scenes. After all, it is useless to know, as long as he can escape from his clutches, now he has returned to the hell, and he has no idea about this hell.
The creator was interested.
In fact, he has always had several candidates in mind, but there is no direct evidence or reason for them. For example, the chief steward has the most power among the servants, but he has very little contact with Butler Li, and Butler Li does not seem to accept him, followed by the internal steward.
The captain of the guard, he has a very high position in the palace, commanding all the internal guards, and is his father's boss. He may have had grudges with his father, but he is very good to his mother, and often sends some condolences, so that there is no doubt that he is.
She has other thoughts about her mother, which is more like taking care of the widow of Zeng Jin's subordinate. The third is the eldest maid next to the princess. She relies on the princess's love for her to act like a fox in the palace and often bullies some honest servants.
Many people in the palace had grudges against her, and it was said that her mother had also been bullied by her.
After thinking wildly, Su Chen was really too tired. He was just half running and half walking, then slowly turned into a trot, and now he was running completely. He was tired and hungry, and almost fainted. Just when he was about to collapse.
, there was finally movement in the carriage, it was the sound of a woman yawning, and then the curtains were opened.
"It's you!"
Su Chen recognized the woman at a glance as the mysterious woman from yesterday, who claimed to be the messenger of the Palace of Eternal Life.
"What? You are so rude when you see your savior. I am your master now," the woman teased.
Su Chen had many questions to ask her at this moment, but his physical strength was almost exhausted and he could no longer do anything except panting.
Just when he was about to fall behind, an icicle wrapped around his hand. Just when Su Chen wanted to see clearly how the icicle appeared, the icicle shrank rapidly, and the strong force directly pulled him into the carriage.
After feeling dizzy for a while, Su Chen found that he was already in the carriage, sitting on a soft cushion, and the icicles on his hands had disappeared.
