Chapter 358: Shenjing City
"I'm gray robe, you can call me gray robe old man."
The old man in gray clothes smiled and said, "I happened to pass by here and saw you juniors playing around, so I came over to take a look.
Unexpectedly, I met you two interesting little guys. "
After hearing this, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang still had doubts in their hearts, but they also lowered their guard slightly.
After all, the old man in gray robe didn't look like an enemy.
"Thank you, senior, for your help." Fang Yue thanked him with his hands.
Although, even without this person, Fang Yue and the two would still not be in danger.
But since he helped, he should be grateful.
The old man in gray robe smiled and said: "I can't talk about giving advice. I just think that you two are potential talents and should not be damaged here. Where are you going?"
"We are going to Shenjing City."
Zhu Linlang replied: "Senior, do you know anything about Shenjing City?"
Although Zhu Linlang knew that the Emperor of Wei was about to die, all forces and factions in the royal family were stepping up their actions to prepare for the throne.
But she didn't know the specific circumstances.
Seeing that the old man in gray robe seemed to know something, he immediately asked.
When the old man in gray robe heard this, a deep light flashed in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said:
"The Divine Capital City is a place full of opportunities and challenges. Now that the Emperor of Wei is critically ill, there are undercurrents from all sides. It is indeed a turbulent moment."
He paused and continued: "I know some things about Shenjing City.
The internal battles within the royal family are fierce, and various factions are secretly planning, hoping to occupy a favorable position in the battle for the throne.
In addition to the royal family, many aristocratic families and sects are also secretly involved, making the battle for the throne even more complicated. "
Immediately, the old man in gray robe began to tell.
The old man in gray robe spoke eloquently, like a storyteller who had gone through many vicissitudes of life, telling the whole story about the situation in Shenjing City.
He talked about the overt and covert struggles within the royal family, the grudges and entanglements between the major factions, and the interest disputes between the aristocratic families and the clan forces.
These intricate relationships are like a huge spider web, covering Shenjing City.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were fascinated by what they heard. They seemed to see the magnificent picture of Shenjing City slowly unfolding before their eyes.
They felt the overwhelming sense of history and the thrilling power struggle.
After the old man in gray robe finished telling the story, the two of them were still immersed in the thrilling story and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.
In the end, Fang Yue was the first to come to his senses. He took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the situation in Shenjing City would be so complicated. It's really amazing."
Zhu Linlang also nodded and agreed: "Yes, listening to the words of the seniors is better than reading ten years of books. Now that we have a deeper understanding of Shenjing City, we must be more cautious in our actions next."
The old man in gray robe smiled slightly and said: "It's rare for you two little guys to realize this so quickly.
Remember, when acting in the city of Shenjing, you must be cautious and cautious in sailing the ship of ten thousand years. "
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the old man in gray robe drifted away.
Immediately, the two of them embarked on the road to Shenjing City.
~~~~~~~~
At the same time, in the mysterious village where the Shadow Pavilion headquarters is located in the demon world.
Li Shengdong sat alone in the dark hall.
Li Shengdong's face was hidden in the darkness, with only a pair of eyes shining with a cold light. His fingers tapped on the armrest, as if he was thinking about something important.
"How is the situation over there in Shenjing City?" Li Shengdong suddenly asked, his voice cold and majestic.
A man in black immediately walked out of the darkness, knelt in the center of the hall, and replied respectfully: "Pavilion Master Qi, the situation in Shenjing City is currently in chaos, and all forces are stepping up their plans to compete for the throne.
Our people have successfully infiltrated into it and are ready to coordinate our plans. "
Li Shengdong nodded, with a sneer on his lips.
He has been making plans secretly, preparing to fish in troubled waters in the battle for the throne in Shenjing City and seek maximum benefits.
"Continue to pay close attention to the situation in Shenjing City, and report any disturbance to me in time." Li Shengdong ordered.
"Yes!" The man in black responded and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Also, where is Fang Yue now?"
"Report to the Pavilion Master."
Another man in black appeared and replied, "According to our latest information, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang have left their original places and are currently on their way to Shenjing City."
After Li Shengdong heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Very good," Li Shengdong said slowly, "Continue to monitor their movements and report to me immediately once they arrive at Shenjing City."
"Yes, Pavilion Master." The man in black retreated and disappeared into the darkness again.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Li Shengdong's mouth.
Although he needed the power of the Luck Dragon Soul from Fang Yue, he couldn't really take Fang Yue seriously.
Everything before was just to take advantage of Fang Yue's hypocrisy and coercion.
Li Shengdong sneered in his heart, what he needed was Fang Yue's strength, not Fang Yue himself.
In Li Shengdong's eyes, Fang Yue was just a tool, a tool that could help him gain more power.
Now, this tool is heading to Shenjing City, a place full of opportunities and challenges.
This may be an opportunity for Li Shengdong, an opportunity to seize Fang Yue's power in the chaos.
"Fang Yue, do you think you can control your own destiny?"
Li Shengdong thought to himself, "When you get to Shenjing City, you will know how to use real power."
~~~~~~
The Shenjing City of the Wei Dynasty is located in the center of the vast continent. It is an ancient city with a long history and majestic power.
The city wall is tall and solid, like an indestructible barrier, guarding the peace and prosperity of the city.
The bricks and stones on the city wall have been eroded by wind and rain, but are still strong, witnessing countless changes in day and night and historical changes.
In the city, the streets are spacious and clean, with shops on both sides, a wide variety of products, and an endless stream of pedestrians.
From time to time, you can hear the shouts of vendors and the bargaining sounds of customers, forming a lively and life-like market picture.
In the center of the city, the majestic palace rises from the ground, resplendent and majestic.
On the roof of the palace, the golden glazed tiles sparkled in the sun, seeming to make the entire palace more solemn and sacred.
The palace is surrounded by dense forests and exquisite gardens. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The environment is pleasant and adds to the royal style.
Whenever night falls, Shenjing City will be lit up with lights. The starry lights and the stars in the night sky complement each other, making it breathtakingly beautiful.
Amidst the brilliant lights, the nightlife of Shenjing City is also quietly unfolding. Restaurants, teahouses, theaters and other entertainment venues are bustling with people and music, showing the prosperity and vitality of this city.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang finally arrived at Shenjing City.
"Let's go to the Wen family's old house first and settle down there." Zhu Linlang naturally contacted some previous relationships when she came to Shenjing City.
Wenjia Manor is located on the outskirts of Shenjing City. It covers a vast area and has a quiet and elegant environment.
The gate of the manor is majestic and the stone lion at the door is majestic and solemn, demonstrating the dignity and status of the Wen family.
The two came to the gate of the manor, explained their purpose to the guard, and were quickly welcomed in warmly.
The interior of the manor is even more unique, with pavilions, rockeries, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants. Everywhere reveals a strong cultural heritage and exquisite gardening design.
The servants of the Wen family led Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang through the winding corridors and arrived at the main hall of the manor.
In the main hall, Wen Tianxiong, the head of the Wen family, has been waiting for a long time. He is a middle-aged man with a majestic face and deep eyes.
Seeing Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, Wen Tianxiong stood up and greeted them warmly. There was a sincere smile on his face, making people feel the warmth and hospitality of the Wen family.
"Your Highness, you are finally here." Wen Tianxiong's voice was rich and powerful, revealing a kind of majesty and dignity.
Zhu Linlang was slightly startled when she heard the title "Princess Princess", but then she understood Wen Tianxiong's intention.
In the Wei Dynasty, her identity was the royal princess. Although this identity was rarely mentioned after she left the palace, at this moment in the Wen family, this identity has become the link between her and the Wen family.
"Uncle Wen, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever." Zhu Linlang responded with a smile and saluted Wen Tianxiong at the same time.
Fang Yue stood aside. Although he was not unfamiliar with Zhu Linlang's status as princess, seeing Wen Tianxiong's respect for her at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.
He bowed his hands to Wen Tianxiong and said, "Master Wen, the junior Fang Yue has met the senior."
Wen Tianxiong nodded, looked at Fang Yue, with a look of appreciation on his face, and said:
"This young man is very heroic and must be no ordinary person. Princess, you really have good taste."
Zhu Linlang pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Uncle Wen, thank you very much. Fang Yue is indeed a rare talent."
Wen Tianxiong laughed and said, "Come on, please sit down and let's talk slowly."
After the three people sat down, Wen Tianxiong asked them their purpose of coming.
Zhu Linlang revealed their plan in full, hoping to get support and help from the Wen family.
After hearing this, Wen Tianxiong pondered for a moment and said: "The situation in Shenjing City is complicated now, so you must proceed with caution.
However, since you are here to look for opportunities and understand the situation, my Wen family may be able to provide some help. "
He paused and continued: "My Wen family also has a certain sphere of influence in Shenjing City. Although it cannot be compared with those big forces, it is more than enough to provide some intelligence and news."
When Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue heard this, they immediately became energetic.
Their trip to Shenjing City was not only to understand the situation, but more importantly, to find suitable opportunities.
The Wen family's help will undoubtedly help them get twice the result with half the effort.
"Thank you, Uncle Wen. This gives us confidence that we will live up to your expectations." Zhu Linlang said with confidence.
Wen Tianxiong nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to take you around Shenjing City to familiarize yourself with the environment.
At the same time, I will also have people collect the latest information for your reference. "
"Thank you, Uncle Wen!" Zhu Linlang said gratefully.
Wen Tianxiong smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was just a trivial matter.
He immediately summoned a servant and ordered him to arrange accommodation for Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, and prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome them.
~~~~~~~
At the same time, in a prosperous restaurant in Shenjing City, Wen Feiyang, the next generation heir of the Wen family, was drinking with his friends.
Wen Feiyang, as the future head of the Wen family, has a tall figure, a handsome face, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
He has been strictly trained by his family since he was a child. He is not only good at martial arts, but also proficient in strategy. He is a leader of the younger generation in Shenjing City.
At this moment, he is sitting in a private room of the restaurant, surrounded by a group of like-minded friends.
They talked about the situation in Shenjing City and analyzed the trends of various forces. The atmosphere was warm and active.
"Brother Feiyang, which family do you think is the most promising in this battle for the throne?" A friend asked.
Wen Feiyang smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said after a moment of silence: "This battle for the throne is indeed a fight between dragons and tigers. All major forces have their own advantages, but if I say the most promising one, I am optimistic about a prince in the royal family."
"Oh? Why is Brother Feiyang so optimistic about him?" Another friend asked curiously.
Wen Feiyang shook his head and did not answer directly, but changed the subject: "In fact, who will eventually ascend to the throne is not something we can decide. What we can do now is to wait and see, and at the same time make our own preparations. Okay, let's not talk about this, everyone, drink!"
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
At this time, someone said: "I heard that Zhu Linlang, the daughter of the King of Han, also came to Shenjing City this time. With the relationship between the Wen family and the princess, you have great hope, brother Wen."
When Wen Feiyang heard this, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but then he chuckled and shook his head and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, Princess Zhu Linlang is of noble status, and her marriage is not something our Wen family can interfere with. Besides, I am not interested in this kind of thing."
Although Wen Feiyang said this, his heart was inevitably a little turbulent.
He naturally knew that Zhu Linlang was not only of noble status, but also beautiful, and was the dream of countless young talents in Shenjing City.
In fact, he also had the idea of marrying this woman in his heart.
It's just that the new emperor has not been decided yet, so he dare not express his opinion easily.
But this does not prevent him from getting the moon first because he is close to the water. In short, he will cultivate a good relationship with this woman this time.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, as long as he does not pursue the King of Han, he will marry this woman.
Otherwise, it's fine to play with her.
Children of aristocratic families always put interests first.
"Okay, let's continue drinking and not talk about this." Wen Feiyang raised his glass and signaled to his friends.
While Wen Feiyang and his friends continued to drink, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were settling down in the Wen family manor.
They were arranged in a quiet courtyard with an elegant environment and complete facilities, which was enough to show that the Wen family valued them.
"It's really nice here. It seems that the Wen family really takes care of us." Fang Yue looked around and said with emotion.
Zhu Linlang nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Wen is a really good person." (End of this chapter)
