53 Chapter 53
Seven days and seven nights passed quickly. Chen Ming had now arrived at Xiqiu City, the capital city of the Yang Empire.
Chen Ming looked in front of him. Xiqiu City was much larger than Duanyang City. Just the city gate was different. The city gate was huge. It was so big that one hundred large carriages could go through and out at the same time.
In front of the gate were guards guarding the gate. Chen Ming examined the guards and found that the lowest level of them was Peak of Qi Foundation stage and highest level Peak of Qi Gathering Stage. they were well trained soldiers
The carriage could easily pass through the city gates. No soldiers could intervene or check. They saw the bodyguard armor and the Chen family crest. They also didn't think there would be a problem.
After all, the Chen family was a family of generals that these soldiers respected.
When the carriage came into the city it headed to the palace immediately. The palace was located on the east side of the city. which takes about another hour to travel
One hour traveling from the west to the east city gates was considered a very large city.
Palace, Chen Ming looked at it. He could see it from a distance. The palace can be said in one word: very magnificent. The palace walls were red, the palace pillars were made of green jade, floor made of marble
The low-ranking guards were at the advanced level of the Qi Gathering stage. which for the Chen family was considered an important force of the clan. But as for the palace, they were only guards.
The carriage arrived in front of the palace. One of the soldiers walked in and blocked the way. before asking
“Please tell me your objective for coming to the Royal Palace.”
The soldier already knew that this carriage belonged to the Chen family. But no matter what, they had to follow the rules of the palace.
Chen Kongnan got down from the carriage before handing him the Third Prince's letter.
“We have been summoned from the Third Prince.”
The Palace Guards read the letter before nodding.
“Thank you for your cooperation, General Chen. And I apologize for the bad manners.”
“Um, I understand that it is a rule.”
Chen Kongnan then went up to the carriage. Before the palace guards gave a signal to the guards to open the gate for Chen Kongnan's carriage to pass through.
The gate opened, and after a while the carriage entered. Chen Ming looked at the corner of his eyes. He found that the soldier Chen Kongnan gave the letter to. He speak to the soldier next to him before the soldiers who had been ordered by him to rush somewhere
If Chen Ming had to guess. The guards guarding this gate must definitely belong to the other prince. But which prince is this, he doesn't know.
The carriage could only travel in the outer palace area. The princes were in the Heavenly Dragon Palace. which is in the inner palace area. From now on, Chen Kongnan and Chen Ming could only walk. The guards were unable to follow. Only a personal soldier could go with them.
Chen Kongnan didn't bring his comrade with him. because he has something for him to deal with so only Chen Kongnan and Chen Ming go inside the inner palace
Chen Kongnan looked at Chen Ming. He saw that Chen Ming had been quiet lately, and couldn't help asking him.
“How are you feeling, Ming'er?”
Chen Ming looked at his father before answering.
“How do I feel? it's just that father, I feel like meeting the Third Prince. I want to know what kind of person he is.”
Of course, to deal with anyone, you must first know what kind of person the other person is. he need information in which method should be used to deal with them
He couldn't wait to meet the Third Prince. And after he had done everything here He would then go to the Merchant Hall and take the quests. His level should then rise quickly.
Chen Kongnan looked at his child before smiling. He seemed to be worried too much. His son was no longer the same.
The two walked for a moment. They were stopped by a maid. She spoke to them.
“Dear Great General Chen Kongnan and Young Master Chen Ming, The crowned prince wants to see you.”
The Crowned Prince?, the First Prince, wanted to see them right now. Chen Ming heard that and smiled. It's started. Chen Ming looked at his father. His expression was not very good. He nudged his father before speaking.
“Father, we should go see the crowned prince first. On the other hand, his position was higher than the Third Prince. Refuse, and there will be more problems later.”
Chen Kongnan nodded to Chen Ming. He thought so, but he was still hesitant. He doesn't know what kind of things will happen from now on. He didn't care about himself. but worried about his child Chen Kongnan didn't have much choice. He only nodded to the maid. which The maid immediately took the two to the royal residence. Chen Ming could sense that several pairs of eyes were fixed on them.
Chen Ming smiled. What was he thinking, no one could know.
