Chapter 1213 Approaching the Imperial Capital

This small mountain range is not big, and the two of them walked some distance last night. At Lu Chen's speed, they crossed the mountain range in a short time.

Not far ahead, a long official road also fell into his sight at this moment.

"That's the army?" Lu Chen stopped and looked at a large group of people on the official road.

As he looked around, not far in front of him, a group of about a hundred soldiers stood neatly on the official road. A middle-aged man wearing bronze armor was walking towards him. Come step by step.

"Are you Lu Chen?" The bronze-armored man stood in front of Lu Chen with a stern face and asked.

Lu Chen nodded slightly when he heard the words, and glanced forward at the same time. The flags and emblems hanging in the army clearly showed that these people belonged to the empire.

"My name is Du Feng, and I am the deputy general of the imperial guard. First of all, thank you for saving the princess." Du Feng put his arms on his chest and nodded slightly to Lu Chen.

"Her Majesty the Princess asked me to come here to pick up your husband and go to the imperial capital with you. However, if I were the gentleman, I would definitely refuse your Majesty the Princess's kindness."

Then Du Feng glanced at Lu Chen, how could he not see that the person in front of him was just a commoner, and his eyes could not help but show contempt.

Lu Chen smiled lightly, and he understood.

Xu Qinghong was a prince of the empire. Although she was born with some flaws, she was a real princess. She had been missing for a day and a night, so it was normal for these people to be found.

"Lu is going to the imperial capital, why should he refuse?" Lu Chen looked calmly and looked at Du Feng in front of him and said.

When Du Feng heard Lu Chen's words, a cold meaning suddenly flashed in his eyes. As a royal guardian, his aura should not be underestimated.

"Boy, you know your identity. Not everyone can go to the Imperial Capital." Du Feng snorted coldly, stared at Lu Chen and spoke in a deep voice.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, and the invisible force on his body suddenly condensed. Without any unnecessary words, he took a step forward.

"The world is so big that there is no place that Lu cannot go, but you want to stop me?" Lu Chen said in a low voice.

Du Feng's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but take half a step back. He had killed many people in his life, and there were few things that could make him afraid. Today, under the momentum of this young man, he did not dare to confront him. See.

"Sir, please!" Du Feng lowered his head and stepped aside.

At this time, Lu Chen said no more, looked up at the official road ahead, and walked slowly towards the centurion soldiers.

Among the soldiers, the curtain of a carriage suddenly lifted, and it was Xu Qinghong who walked out of it with a smile, looking at Lu Chen with a smile on her face.

"Lu Chen, come in quickly. When you get to the imperial capital, your father will reward you well." Xu Qinghong didn't have the airs of a princess at all, she looked at Lu Chen and said softly.

Du Feng, who was on the side, couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face when he saw this scene. He knew the temperament of Princess Qinghong very well, and would never be so interested in a commoner. The identity of this person must be more than what he seemed. Simple.

Ignoring Du Feng's expression, Lu Chen stepped onto the carriage and entered directly.

"It's time to set off. Get to the imperial capital as soon as possible. If there are any further delays on the road, I will definitely report it to my father." Xu Qinghong glanced at Du Feng and shouted.

At the same time, after she finished speaking, she lowered the door curtain and retreated into the carriage without waiting for Du Feng's reply.

"This..." Du Feng looked depressed. The majestic princess of the empire was in the same carriage with a man. If the king knew about it when he returned to the imperial capital, I am afraid he would not let him off lightly.

After a moment of silence, Du Feng still did not dare to say anything more. He could only sigh secretly and ordered to set off immediately to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

In the carriage, Xu Qinghong looked very happy, explaining to Lu Chen the bustling imperial capital city from time to time.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and just nodded slightly. He had a feeling in his heart about the Imperial City. The answers to the confusion and confusion in his heart, as well as the woman in the scroll, should all be found in the Imperial City. .

"Lu Chen, you don't have any luggage with you, but you always carry a picture scroll. What's in it?" Xu Qinghong's eyes fell on the picture scroll in Lu Chen's left hand, and she couldn't help but ask.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and after taking a look in front of him, he took out the scroll and gently spread it out.

Xu Qinghong's face was full of curiosity, and she quickly raised her eyes to look into the scroll. At the same time, the woman in the painting fell into her eyes instantly.

"She is very beautiful...is she your friend?" Xu Qinghong's face looked a little complicated, she raised her head and looked at Lu Chen and said softly.

Lu Chen looked at the woman in the scroll, with confusion in his eyes again. After a while, he sighed softly, slowly put the scroll away, and then looked up at Xu Qinghong.

"I don't know her, maybe she is a friend. If we meet one day, I would also like to ask who she is." Lu Chen had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xu Qinghong pursed her lips slightly and said again: "Did you go to the Imperial City for her?"

Lu Chen shook his head slightly when he heard this. It was his childhood dream to go to the imperial capital. There may be some reasons for this mysterious picture, but it is not all.

"I went to the Imperial City just to prove one of my guesses. That dream was really just a dream, or..." Lu Chen didn't finish his words. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and the look on his face Divine consciousness is difficult to fathom.

At this time, Xu Qinghong heard that Lu Chen did not go there for the woman in the painting.

In the imperial capital, a smile appeared on her face again.

As for Chase Lu's subsequent words, although she didn't quite understand them, they didn't seem to be important to her.

"If you are willing to stay in the imperial capital, I can ask my father to give you an official position in the court." Xu Qinghong said with a happy smile.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly. Although he was not very interested in official positions, he could not bear to refuse the kindness of the person in front of him at this time, so he said no more and just nodded slightly.

...

On the official road, with the escort of the Imperial Forbidden Army, Lu Chen and his two men entered the Imperial Capital City in less than three days.

At noon that day, a team of 100 people from the Forbidden Army was already approaching the imperial capital city, and Lu Chen also stepped out of the carriage at the same time.

"Is this the Imperial City..." Lu Chen followed the forbidden army, stood under the city wall, and looked up to the front.

In front of them, an impregnable city wall came into view. The city wall was so high that people couldn't help but look up. It was covered with traces of time and spread to both ends, as if there was no edge.
