Chapter 18: Entering Beijing
"Little Prince, the princess has left. Before leaving, she didn't see you going to see you off, so she seemed a little disappointed." He Shun was also present when he saw Pei Yunfeng away, but Pei Zonghao refused to say goodbye to his second sister again.
"Is that true?" Pei Zonghao's voice was filled with bleakness.
"Yes." Lao He nodded and replied.
"Hey, I don't know when we meet again. Tiannan Snowland and our Yunchuan, one in the north and the other in the south, have a journey of tens of thousands of miles. My second sister is here, hey." Pei Zonghao sighed repeatedly, feeling reluctant to part with his second sister.
"Little Prince, you don't have to be sad. It may take only two years for the princess to be homesick. She will come back to see her." Lao He persuaded Pei Zonghao.
"Two years? That's quite long." A light breeze blew, and Pei Zonghao fell into deep thought again. Old He, who was beside him, took out a purple bead from his arms without making any noise. "Little Prince, this is what the princess asked me to give to you. She said that this thing will be more useful to you in the future."
Looking at the amethyst bead in Lao He's hand, Pei Zonghao fell into sadness again.
"Your Highness, the prince, the prince asked you to go to the military camp to discuss matters." At this time, a voice broke the silent and sad atmosphere.
"Call me to the barracks to discuss matters?"
"Yes."
"Tell your father, I won't go. I won't participate in major military affairs in the future. I just want to practice martial arts and practice Taoism." Pei Zonghao said to the visitor.
"Yes, my subordinates obeyed the order." After saying that, the visitor left and went back to report his life.
"Little Prince, you are born with a leading talent, why..." Lao He stopped talking.
Pei Zonghao was silent for a long time, "Uncle He, I have seen a truth from the death of my mother this time. Strength is the magic weapon to shock the world and overwhelm the demons. If I had what the master said now, my mother would not die at all, and the demon dragon would not dare to come to Fan Yunchuan City."
"So, I decided! I will devote myself to practicing Taoism. When my cultivation level improves in the future, I will definitely avenge my mother!" Pei Zonghao clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Little Prince, as the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected when they die. Don't be blinded by hatred and are eager to succeed!" Old He was worried that Pei Zonghao would go astray and wanted to enlighten him.
"Uncle He, don't worry, I don't know." Pei Zonghao answered Lao He and began to practice martial arts again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The fist was like thunder, and the bones of the body also made a crisp sound. This is the standard for the bone training realm. Pei Zonghao is truly moving into the bone training realm and becoming a martial artist.
At night, looking at the starry sky, there is always a star that shines so much in the distant galaxy.
"Mom, is that you?"
"Is there really a cycle of reincarnation in this world? If so, where are you now after rebirth?" The night wind blew, blowing the clothes and swaying in the wind. On the top of Canglan Mountain, Pei Zonghao looked at the starry sky alone on a bare rock.
"Hao'er, are you thinking about the princess?" At this time, a voice came from behind Pei Zonghao, breaking the sad mood.
Pei Zonghao heard the sound and slowly turned around, "Master, why are you here?"
"I didn't see you in the cave just now. I thought you must have come here again."
"Why, can't I let go of the princess' death?" Pei Zonghao has been depressed for so many days, which made Feng Lingzi very worried.
"Master, how could you let go of this easily?"
"Hao'er, life is inevitable, birth, old age, sickness, death, life and death, separation, and separation of life and death. I hope you can be open-minded. I believe that if the princess is alive, she doesn't want you to be silent in sorrow all day long."
"It's okay, Master, it'll be fine after a while."
"Okay." Feng Lingzi turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said to Pei Zonghao: "Hao'er, I heard that the prince wants to send you to Beijing this time. Your Majesty has conferred you as the outer prince this time. You may be in charge of Dayu's country in the future. The prince's meaning is to let you go to Beijing to listen to politics first, so that you can take charge of the country in the future."
"Oh? When did it happen?" Pei Zonghao asked.
"It was before, the prince invited me to the study and told me to listen to me."
"When is the time set?" Pei Zonghao continued to ask.
"I don't know this yet, I guess it's just in these few days."
"Yeah, I understand." After Pei Zonghao answered, his voice became even more bleak.
"Hao'er, last time you chased the purple gold sky-shaking ape. When my master saw that you could fly with a sword, I had checked the spiritual roots for you before. The spiritual roots in your body were mistakenly considered to be innate pseudo-spirit roots, but you could fly with a sword, which means that my master made a mistake."
"Oh? Then what kind of spiritual root is in my body?"
"According to the records of this sect, there are only so many spiritual roots. The spiritual roots in your body are not within the range of the spiritual roots recorded in this sect. I can't figure out what spiritual roots are they for the master." Faced with the spiritual roots in Pei Zonghao's body, Feng Lingzi couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Don't care about that much, this must be a good thing. You can fly with a sword. This means that you can use magic. Now your cultivation level has reached the 11th level of the Spiritual Pupil, right?"
“Yes, Master.”
"Okay, in the past two days, I will prepare some books for you. You will bring them with you when you go to Beijing and practice yourself in the capital."
"Remember! You must not be in a hurry to achieve success in your practice!" Feng Lingzi added another sentence at the end.
"Master, don't worry, Hao'er understands it in her heart."
"Okay, then you'll be later. Remember to go back early. You can't fall behind in practice." Feng Lingzi said that, and turned around and left, leaving Pei Zonghao alone, and continued to look up at the starry sky.
The next day, I stood side by side in the royal palace and in the study room.
"Hao'er, this time you go to Beijing, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and never use force casually. In the city of Yujing, everything must be followed by the law and never be reckless." This time, when Pei Zonghao was sent to Beijing, Pei Chengfang was most afraid that the matter of the past would happen again, and repeatedly told Pei Zonghao.
"Dad, I'm leaving. Now you are the only one left in the royal palace."
Hearing this, Pei Chengfang couldn't help but feel sad. A month ago, this place was still a safe haven for happiness. But now, she is the only one left.
"Okay, dad is not a child, you are not here, can I still cry?"
"Also, I have said it many times, and I call it my father." Pei Chengfang's image as a tough guy was still unchanged at this time.
Pei Zonghao knew that his father was pretending to be like this at this time. Since his mother died, the black hair on his father's head has been half white. No matter how strong a person is, his heart cannot be like a stone.
"Okay, Father." Pei Zonghao did not have any more love for his children. He bowed deeply to his father and left the study and the palace.
Looking at his son's back as he turned around and left, Pei Chengfang kept staring at him for a long time. After a while, Pei Chengfang finally came back to his senses, "Boy! Did you really leave like that?"
Side by side of the royal palace, at the gate.
"Uncle He, you all go back. I'll just go to Beijing this time, and I'll go alone."
"Little Prince, this Yunchuan is thousands of miles away from Yujing City. In the deep mountains along the way, not only are monsters entrenched, but there are great monsters with great cultivation in many places!"
"Besides, Dayu founded the country back then. Although after the founding of the country, all evil sects in the territory were encircled and suppressed, the evil demons and evil sects had a strong survival ability! I heard that many evil sects have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in recent years. The court has been in a tight border area and has no energy to deal with them. They are now very rampant!"
"Little Prince, you don't have us along the way. What if you encounter groups of people from evil ways?" When Lao He heard that Pei Zonghao did not let the guards follow, he became anxious immediately.
"Uncle He, after experiencing the last battle, what kind of storms do you think will sweep me away?" Hearing Pei Zonghao's words, Old He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"Uncle He, we suffered heavy losses in the last battle. Now that the father is around him, you still stay and follow my father to help him solve his problems."
"But!"
"Okay, Uncle He, listen to me, you don't have to worry too much. I will come back to see you at the end of next year. Besides, isn't it still there?" Pei Zonghao refers to the blood-red giant python who stayed in the royal palace and was unwilling to leave.
Since the giant python came to the palace, he refused to leave. These days, he had to eat and drink in the palace and swallow a whole pig every meal. This is thanks to the wealthy family who were shoulder to shoulder. If this guy was placed in ordinary families, he would have swallowed up the surplus grains of two years. This guy's current situation is more than tens of millions of times better than the poor mountains and rivers in the ancient jungles before, and his whole body has gained a lot compared to before.
"Okay, Uncle He, I'll leave and take care of my father for me." After Pei Zonghao said that, he rode on the big black horse and left alone.
"Hey! This!" Old He slapped the long knife hanging around his waist with his right hand, and was speechless.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, sent all his followers back and went to the capital alone." A voice came from outside the study door.
"Okay, I know."
"Yes, my subordinates have surrendered."
Pei Zonghao rode a big black horse on the way and ran at lightning. The big black horse ran at full speed. Whether it was a pedestrian vendor or a person riding a horse, he could only see a black shadow flying by in his eyes, and he couldn't see clearly.
The big dark horse galloped constantly, and the trees on both sides disappeared quickly in their eyes. On this first day, Pei Zonghao could be said to have traveled thousands of miles a day.
The sun had already set in the sky. When night fell, dark clouds covered the moon and stars in the sky. The ground was dark and dull, so it was impossible to rush to travel anymore. Pei Zonghao stopped.
"Wao!" Pei Zonghao pulled the reins and ticked a few scattered horse hooves. Dahei stopped, sniffed, and began to bury his head and eat the weeds on the roadside.
"Wow!" The red python that followed closely in the sky also fell from the sky, and the strong wind blew the surrounding trees rustled.
"It seems that I can only end here today. Let's stop and camp. Xiaohong, go to the surrounding area to check and see if there are any monsters and monsters. By the way, get some wild game, remember to get it back with your tail!" I wonder if it was so sad that Pei Zonghao changed his state some time ago today, and his temperament became more active than before.
