Chapter 818 – The War of the Nations
The Jinling was so big that many commoners who lived in the Jinling would never be able to travel across the entire city. It wasn’t because that life was too short, but because everyone had to busy themselves with their own lives. Even so, if it wasn’t big enough, he would still accidentally go through it all. It was just that there weren’t many memories that were worth sealing in his mind.
The royalty’s hunting grounds were located to the north of Jinling, and less than a kilometer away from the city was a large area surrounded by tall walls. Some people said that when the Great Xixi settled in the capital, she chose Jinling because the capital of the former dynasty, the Great Zhou, was already a Jinling. Some people even said that this place was where the dragon fountain was located. The reason why they chose this place was because there was a university here to inquire about it.
The commoners did not know what this university was all about. They were only proud to be people of the imperial capital. Not only that, the citizens’ welfare was very good and their taxes were very low. They were much better off than the commoners in other parts of the Great Xi world.
“This place occupies over ten thousand acres.”
Yuwen Wuming rode on the white horse, and glanced at An Zheng who was awkwardly riding the horse: “What, Taoist Chen doesn’t seem to like riding horses? “Hunting and hunting. Riding and shooting are indispensable.”
An Zheng shook his head: “Even if it’s saddled, I still feel that it’s too bumpy to sit on.”
“You are truly blessed.”
Yuwen Wuming smiled and said, “Da Xi’s Gong Ma created the nation, although it was destined to be in Jinling later on, so the Gong Ma technique is gradually becoming less important here. However, in order to maintain their fighting spirit, the hunting grounds held two large hunting events every year. It will be the Winter Hunt in a while. If you don’t ride, you will be looked down upon. ”
An Zheng could not help but think back to the time when he had just arrived in the State of Yan to participate in the Military Academy’s assessment. In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years had passed.
“Then where are the Dragon Lion and Old Ox now?”
An Zheng asked.
Yuwen Wuming said: “Why do I keep having the feeling that you have some ulterior motives towards that old cow?”
“Brother Yuwen’s words seem to be a bit too much.”
Yuwen Wuming stared blankly for a while, then immediately explained, “No no no, you misunderstood me. I’m not saying that you have that kind of presumptuous desire for the old cow, I’m saying that it’s preposterous wish of yours.”
An Zheng: “...”
Yuwen Wuming laughed and shook his head, “Seriously, I won’t even be able to speak. The Old Bull was located at the northernmost part of the Royal Hunting Grounds. It warison personally constructed by the people of the Great Western Star Observation Pavilion. That old cow was simply too powerful. If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t have been able to hold him back at all. Star Observation Pavilion had wanted to see how an ordinary old bull could become an existence that surpassed Ancient Divine Beasts, so he had been studying it recently. Every once in a while we take the blood of the old cow and see if we can figure something out. ”
“In order to ensure safety, when the old cow was locked in, Star Observation Pavilion used forty-nine sealed acupoints to seal the old cow’s meridians. Not only that, the Old Cow’s prison was controlled by the Star Observation Pavilion’s extremely mysterious rune array. If Old Cow were to act rashly, the formation will automatically trigger the divine lightning. ”
Yuwen Wuming did not notice the disgust and anger in An Zheng’s eyes. He pointed to the front and said: “On your way here from the western border, you killed a lot of Summoning the Spiritual World’s summoner. Since you are very interested in that old cow, why don’t we go take a look? ”
An Zheng pondered on how he could rescue the Old Bull from the hunting grounds. This was the hunting grounds of the imperial family, not the Left, not the Zhou family. Even if Chen Wunuo was merciful to him now, he would not allow him to bring the Old Bull away. Furthermore, what An Zheng wanted to take away was not only the Old Bull, but also a Dragon Lion.
That day in Immortal palace ruins, owed both Old Bull a debt of gratitude. If there was enmity, he would take revenge. If there was kindness, he would take revenge as well.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with a solution. Right now, he didn’t know much about the environment of the hunting grounds, much less the place where the old ox and Dragon Lion were imprisoned. Although An Zheng had accompanied Chen Wunuo to the hunting grounds more than once, at that time, there wasn’lace that locked Old Cow and the Dragon Lion. An Zheng had been in the Da Xi world for so many years, but he had always been unable to see through two things since he arrived at the head of the Da Xi Ming Fa Si … The first thing is the way of the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo. Secondly, what was the Star Observation Pavilion doing?
Yuwen Wuming said that every once in a while, Star Observation Pavilion would extract some blood from the Old Bull to study. The two of them had already been locked up for a long time. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yuwen Wuming was unable to locate their whereabouts, one could well imagine how much the Star Observation Pavilion regarded the two of them.
An Zheng then thought of another matter... When he was in the Northwest Helian Family, he found out about a secret. Since the year the Great Western Star Observation Pavilion was established, he had been continuously collecting the blood of the various large families. Judging from Yuwen Wuming’s tone, the Star Observation Pavilion also had many secrets in the hunting grounds. It seemed that he was also continuously collecting the blood of various types of demon beasts … What was he going to do?
When the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo had given the order to build the Star Observation Pavilion, everyone had thought that it was just a superstition of the Saint Emperor towards receiving orders from the heavens. But very quickly, people realized that this matter was not that simple, because the Star Observation Pavilion was too special. The Sacred Emperor had said more than once in the Holy See that no one in the Da Xi Empire, including the Ming Fa Si, had the right to ask about everything in the Star Observation Pavilion.
In other words, the Star Observation Pavilion was only responsible to Daxi Shenghuang, and only Chen Wunuo could command and dispatch them. All the things that already existed would be understood more and more as they continued to exist. However, this Star Observation Pavilion was different. The longer it existed, the less people knew about it, and the more mysterious it seemed.
It was rumored that the Star Observation Pavilion had recruited a lot of capable individuals. There were all kinds of talented people, and they might not all be cultivators. There were many strong people not because they could cultivate, but because some people were born with a certain level of innate ability. Such people would be brought back by the Star Observation Pavilion the moment they discover one, and no one would be able to leave the Star Observation Pavilion once they bring one back.
Yuwen Wuming was still talking nonstop about it, he did not know that An Zheng probably knew more about the hunting grounds than him. An Zheng’s mind was a mess, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. If he didn’t look at it clearly, he wouldn’t be able to make a decision.
When Yuwen Wuming arrived at the entrance of the hunting grounds, he took out a identity card and showed it to the guards.
“In this place, aside from His Majesty the Saint King, everyone who enters will need to carefully verify their identity.”
Yuwen Wuming said: “This is the dignity of the imperial family.”
An Zheng thought that it was really simple, the security was not limited to just the Imperial Family, it was also most likely related to the Star Observation Pavilion.
An Zheng probed, “Earlier, you said that everyone other than your majesty the Sacred Emperor had to confirm their identity, so … Where are the people from Star Observation Pavilion? Are they the same? ”
Yuwen Wuming’s face changed, as he laughed awkwardly: “Why are you bringing up this? How would I know about the matters of the Star Observation Pavilion, not to mention me, even the people who have lived in the Jinling for a long time might not know about it, let’s go in …”
He left his horse at the gate and walked in.
As if he had intentionally changed the topic, Yuwen Wuming continued to talk as he walked: “The Royal Hunting Ground is divided into two parts. The east is the ordinary Beast District, and the west is the Beast District. The Beast District was at least twenty times bigger than the Beast District. In the Beast District, only royal children would go. After all, they were not allowed to leave the palace until they become adults. They might not have seen the goats before. “The purpose of this Beast District is to prevent the children of the royal family from understanding anything.”
“The Monster Area provides a lot of things. You can have almost anything you want.”
Yuwen Wuming blinked his eyes: “My sister is not here, so there are some things that we can say directly … … Hunting grounds even have that kind of service. Anyone who is able to enter the hunting grounds is an extraordinary person, but this is the territory of the imperial family, so you have to pay the fees … Starting from a piece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, you can enjoy the ultimate kind of... Cough cough, you understand. ”
An Zheng: “I don’t understand.”
Yuwen Wuming: “That’s too much.”
An Zheng laughed: “I never thought that the royalty would actually engage in such a business!”
Yuwen Wuming nearly covered his mouth, “Can you shut up … Heavens, with a mouth like yours, you dare to say anything, and you’re still alive and well.
“There are all kinds of chariots over there for hunting. The people you can choose to serve can be warriors in armor, or beautiful women in short skirts made of animal skins. ”
Yuwen Wuming blinked his eyes: “They are not ordinary women. They have to be knowledgeable, have to have a face and body shape, and most importantly, are all female cultivators. “You can let them drive the car, or you can let them drive you …”
An Zheng: “Cough, cough... The weather is good. ”
Yuwen Wuming: “Don’t try that. I know that your relationship with your little junior is not ordinary, but isn’t it the same as him? Besides, it’s not like your Hollow Jade Temple forbids this … Come out and relax. “I’ll treat you guys in a bit, just order whatever you want.”
Of course, An Zheng knew all this. The reason why the hunting grounds had such a service was only to rope in those who were useful to Da Xi. Who would care abouiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone if they could enter?
As he was speaking, he saw an ancient looking war chariot whizzing past. Four or five women wearing short fur skirts stood atop the chariot. One of them was driving, while the other was holding a hard bow, which was also an extraordinary magical equipment. A stocky man was sitting in the car, hugging the both of them. He looked a little exciting …
Yuwen Wuming suddenly became anxious: “Let’s go, let’s go quickly.”
An Zheng: “Didn’t you say that we should go see the Old Bull first?”
Yuwen Wuming was immediately disappointed: “You are so serious, where is this place? This is the royal family’s territory. The people and things you do here will be kept secret. I heard that there’s a new service called the War of the Countries. ”
“Huh?”
An Zheng was startled for a moment, “A battle between nations? “Cultivators from various countries?”
“No, no, no …”
Yuwen Wuming moved closer to An Zheng’s ears and lowered his voice, saying, “They are carefully selected women from the twelve nations, and every single one of them is as beautiful as a fairy. War between various countries, they all have their own graces … Whether it is golden hair and blue eyes, or the jade of my family being gentle and considerate, I will only ask you one thing … As a man, don’t you have the heart to conquer the world?! ”
An Zheng sighed, this was the first time he saw someone speak so boldly and brazenly like a scoundrel.
