King of Light

Return to the imperial capital

The Imperial City was built in the year 335 of the Imperial Calendar. Originally, the purpose of building it by the 11th Emperor of the Bright Empire was to establish an important town in the southwestern region to prevent attacks and harassment by demons (Waren Fortress had not yet been built at that time), and its original name was Jiashan Fortress. By the year 553 of the Imperial Calendar, the final control of the Xichuan Continent by the Bright Empire had collapsed. Zichuan Yun, who was the southwestern guardian of the empire, declared his independence, took the opportunity to seize the Jiashan Fortress, renamed it "Imperial Capital," and used it as a stronghold. Expanded aggressively to surrounding areas and founded the Zichuan family. Zichuanyun himself is the first generation head of the family.

Since the founding of the family, the Imperial City has been firmly in the hands of the Zichuan family. Whether it is the Liufeng family's army or the raging demon tribe, facing the Imperial City's solid fortifications and the b****y battles of seven generations of Zichuan soldiers, despite their stubborn resistance, they had to return in vain. A string of glorious names is connected with the history of this city - Zichuan Yun, Yalimei, Shaka, Zichuan Xing, Yun Shanhe, Camu - and later generations will have to add Zichuan Xiu. The Imperial City has survived three hundred years of war and has remained standing.

After the family's century-long campaign, the family's territory has continued to expand. The imperial capital is no longer on the front lines and has become the first of the three major cities on the Xichuan continent. It is still ranked above the Liufeng family's "Yuanjing" and the Lin family's "Heqiu.". It is the gathering point of politics, economy, and culture on the mainland. Its prosperity and arrogance make the entire Zichuan family proud.

One day in August 778 of the Imperial Calendar, a group of people returning from the Far East Front entered the imperial capital. Its main members include the newly promoted deputy commander Shi Chuanxiu, the guard captain Gu Lei, and the forty members of the personal guard led by him, as well as three reluctant "unlucky guys.".

Bai Chuan: "Sir, when will you show your kindness and let us go back to the Far East?"

Roger: "Yes, let's get to know each other; just think of it as doing good deeds. By your side... I am still a child, and I don't want to die so early!"

Nagakawa scolded Roger: "Bah! What did you say? Are you talking to your superiors like this? It's not polite! Please be respectful and courteous when asking an adult!"

Changchuan turned around and looked at Zichuanxiu with tears and a runny nose: "Please show mercy to me because I have an eighty-year-old mother above you and a three-year-old child below me!"

Zi Chuanxiu looked very innocent: "Oh, you have been arguing all the way, are you not tired? - I am also very embarrassed. The instruction to mobilize you is the intention of the Chief of General Staff, Mr. Luo Bo."

"Look at your eyes... and you're smiling like that - I know you're lying!"

"That's right, Luo Bo and you are not the same group!"

"I heard that you bought us all for Luo Bo with two bottles of wine. It's so disrespectful! - Each of us is worth at least one bottle!"

"Two bottles of wine are for the equipment you carry - Roger, you are worth a bottle cap at most!"

…

In front of the carriage station in the imperial capital, a group of people came out.

"Oh, I'm back! Imperial City, your beauty is still the same!"

Zi Chuanxiu recalled that 6 years ago, in order to defend the city, he, who was just a humble hut, led an army for the first time and fought a fierce battle with the powerful Liufeng Army... As time goes by, how many people in this imperial city still remember themselves? Woolen cloth?

"The past is like a dream!" Zichuan Xiuzheng was filled with emotion...

"Stop dashing there! We are about to starve to death!"

"If we don't provide food, we will go back to the Far East!"

“We want to stay in a star-rated hotel!”

You don't have to look back to know who said it.

After Gu Lei and the guards were settled, Zichuan Xiu and the three of them went shopping. Coming from the war-torn Far East to this prosperous place, everything is new when I look around. Roger grabbed a young man passing by and asked, "Where is the restaurant?"

The young man saw that they were dusty, dressed in rustic clothes, and spoke with a strong Far Eastern accent. He said disdainfully in the dialect of the imperial capital: "Country fellows!" and ignored them.

Roger didn't understand, so he turned around and asked Zi Chuanxiu: Sir, what does "country boy" mean? "

Zi Chuanxiu said calmly: "It means a general term used by residents of urban areas on the mainland to non-urban residents. It usually does not have a complimentary meaning."

Roger: "...still don't understand."

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "Then you should remember what we call those native hats in the villages on the border who wear animal skins, never brush their teeth and wash their faces, and only take three baths in their lives, right?"

Roger was furious: "I am the leader, he dares to look down on me like this? Teach him a lesson!"

Less than five minutes later, Roger came back dejectedly.

Zichuan Xiuyouyou asked: "How is it? Have you taught him a lesson?"

Roger: "He taught me a lesson - he was the red flag."

Changchuan looked around as he walked: "I heard that girls in the imperial capital are very bold and trendy. You can tell by looking at their clothes. Ah! This is right!"

He stopped a passing girl and said, in his most elegant gesture and gentle tone: "Miss, do you believe in love at first sight? The moment I saw you, an arrow shot into my heart."

"Robbery! Help!" The lady didn't even listen to him and ran away!

Changchuan did not dare to turn around and face the eyes of his companions.

"I think girls in this city must have male phobia; there is no other reason to explain it!" Nagakawa made an impassioned statement.

Bai Chuan: "I know, I know—they are all gay, right? Mr. Changchuan, Yushu Linfeng, handsome, unrestrained and extraordinary, can you let us go? You talked for forty times all the way, and my ears were wet with tears!" "

Roger: "Hush, there's another very decent person coming from the opposite side - with a delicate appearance and an elegant and generous temperament - I give it 98 points!"

Nagakawa: "I'd give it 99 points, she's a peerless fairy! She's just a little too young."

Bai Chuan looked at the faces of these two stinky men with cold eyes, and snorted disdainfully: "Look at you - you look like you have just been released from prison, you have no grace at all! Look how calm our Lord Xiuchuan is, he didn't say a word."

Zi Chuanxiu ran over without saying a word.

"I didn't expect that the Lord would beat me to it; there is nothing I can do. He has been holding back in the Far East for six years. He is also a man of flesh and blood. Hurry!"

"Ha, look at him like that! He suddenly blocks the girl's path and just stares at her without saying a word - you will definitely get a slap in the face!"

"Look, this girl is so scared that her face has changed?"

"That's right, you see, she was so frightened that she even dropped the bag in her hand - we adults are also very pitiful when we say it. She is so unlucky with women. No wonder she has a weird personality! Bai Chuan, you need to care more about him in the future!"

"What are they doing, standing and looking at each other? It's time to call for help!"

What happened next made them unable to believe their eyes: the noble, generous and touching girl sobbed and threw herself into Zi Chuanxiu's arms!

Zi Chuanxiu held her shoulders gently but firmly, stared into her tearful eyes, slowly kneeled down on one knee, and kissed her hands.

Roger was dumbfounded: "Proposing so easily?!"

Changchuan regretted it: "I wish I had known I would get married - it turns out that women in the imperial capital are really open-minded!"

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" - The three of them were startled: He could actually hear a whisper from dozens of meters away? Moreover, his voice was not loud, but it was as clear as speaking to his ears.

Zichuanxiu's voice was more serious than ever before: "This is the only daughter of the former family chief, Mr. Zichuan Yuanxing, the niece of the current chief, Mr. Zichuan Sanxing, and the first heir to the family's chief executive - Miss Zichuan Ning. ! Salute immediately!"

Roger, Baichuan, and Changchuan all kneeled down on one knee and bowed their heads in salute.
