Chapter 260
The dizziness of the teleportation had not completely dissipated, and Liu Bang felt empty under his feet, with the wind whistling in his ears.
He let out an "ow" and subconsciously grabbed the arm of the person in front of him tightly.
"What are you shouting for! Stand firm!"
Ying Zheng's voice of disgust sounded in his ear.
Liu Bang then discovered that he and Ying Zheng were standing side by side, and under their feet was a wide, colorful long sword, carrying them suspended in mid-air.
Gu Shanhe was in white, standing with his hands behind his back at the tip of the sword, his sleeves fluttering with the wind, looking down at the bottom.
Below, was a huge city that made Liu Bang stunned.
The towering city walls, neat neighborhoods, wide streets, and crowds like weaving were far more prosperous, orderly, and stylish than the Chang'an of "himself" he remembered and had just left.
Especially the continuous, golden and brilliant palace complex in the center of the city, which was magnificent and full of weather.
"Is this... the Chang'an of that kid Liu Che?"
Liu Bang muttered to himself, let go of the hand grabbing Ying Zheng's arm, and looked around curiously.
"Good guy, much more stylish than when I was there."
Ying Zheng also squinted and looked at the bottom.
The layout of this Chang'an city can vaguely see the shadow of Xianyang, but it is more square and orderly, and the shape of the palace is also different from his time, looking more gorgeous.
It seems that this descendant of later generations has indeed managed the family business well.
The position where the three of them hovered on the sword was probably above the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, about a hundred feet off the ground.
At this height, plus their dress (Gu Shanhe's white clothes are immortal, Ying Zheng's black dragon robe is majestic and solemn, Liu Bang's red dragon robe... well, a bit conspicuous), it is difficult not to attract attention.
"Look! In the sky! There are people in the sky!"
"Is it a bird? No! It's a person! Three people!"
"My God! They are flying! Standing on a sword and flying!"
"Immortal! It's an immortal descending!"
On the ground, whether it was farmers and merchants outside the city, or guards on the city walls and people in the streets, as long as they looked up, they all saw this shocking scene.
Exclamations, kneeling sounds, and running to tell each other spread like a tide in an instant.
Many people knelt down to the sky on the spot, kowtowing non-stop.
"Who is above! Dare to spy on the Imperial City!" A sharp shout came from the city wall below.
I saw a team of patrolling soldiers found them, quickly set up crossbows behind the battlements of the city wall, and the archers also drew their bows and arrows, with cold-shining arrowheads aimed at the sky.
The leading military officer, who looked like a colonel, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking up, his face full of horror and vigilance.
He had probably never seen anyone fly, let alone someone wearing a dragon robe flying in the sky—
The patterns on those red and black robes could be felt from a distance with a majesty that could not be profaned.
"Hey, treated as an assassin?"
Liu Bang was happy and poked Ying Zheng.
"Brother Zheng, your black dragon robe is too eye-catching, look at how scared the children are."
Ying Zheng was too lazy to ignore him and said to Gu Shanhe: "National Teacher, go directly to the Imperial Palace?"
Gu Shanhe nodded: "The main owner should be in the palace. Let's go directly, so as not to be troublesome."
His heart moved slightly, and the flying sword under his feet made a clear hum.
The sword's light flourished, dragging a long, dreamlike golden tail.
Like a meteor passing through the sky, ignoring the soldiers facing the enemy and the panicked people below, it flew straight toward the most magnificent palace complex in the center of the Imperial City.
"They are going to the Imperial Palace!"
"Quick! Close the palace gate! Warn!"
"Protect the Majesty!"
The commotion below was even greater.
The alarm bell rang "dang dang", the gates of the Imperial City closed quickly, and more armored soldiers poured out from all places, rushing to the palace walls, bows and crossbows like a forest, nervously pointing at the golden light getting closer and closer in the sky.
The entire Chang'an City, from the people to the army, was turned upside down by this sudden "Immortal Descent" event.
Weiyang Palace, Xuan Shi Hall.
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, had just finished an imperial meeting about using troops against the Xiongnu again after the spring.
Great General Wei Qing, Piaoji General Huo Qubing, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, Yushi Dafu Zhang Tang, and other important ministers were all present.
Young Huo Qubing was speaking generously, advocating going deep into the north of the desert to find and annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu and eliminate future troubles forever.
Wei Qing was more steady, emphasizing the transport of food and grass and the stability of the rear.
Liu Che listened, his fingers tapping lightly on the imperial desk, his eyes flashing with light, obviously weighing.
Just then, a rush of panicked, almost changed footsteps and shouts came from outside the hall.
"Majesty! Majesty! Not good! In the sky! There are immortals in the sky!"
An attendant rushed into the hall, his face pale, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Bastard! In front of Xuan Shi Hall, how can you make noise!" Prime Minister Gongsun Hong scolded sharply.
Liu Che frowned, but did not get angry immediately, and said in a deep voice:
"What's the panic? Speak slowly, what immortal?"
The attendant gasped, pointed to the sky outside the hall, and stuttered.
"Really... really! In the sky! An immortal in white clothes, stepping on a glowing sword!"
"Also... also brought two people, both... both wearing dragon robes! Just... just flying towards the palace, the soldiers guarding the city saw it, and all the people in the city saw it!"
"Wearing dragon robes?"
Liu Che stood up suddenly, his face instantly gloomy.
Dragon robe, that is exclusive to the Son of Heaven!
Who dares to be so rebellious and fly to the sky to provoke?
Is it a warlock pretending to be a god, or... is there really a monster making trouble?
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing stepped forward almost at the same time, their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Wei Qing said in a deep voice: "Majesty, I ask to immediately mobilize the Qimen and Yulin to guard the palace! To prevent accidents!"
Huo Qubing was young and energetic, but a flash of excitement and curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Stepping on a sword to fly? Is there really such a strange person? Majesty, let me go meet him first!"
"Don't be reckless!"
Liu Che raised his hand to stop him. Although he was young, he had experienced things like Empress Dowager Dou and Tian Fen, and had long developed a deep temperament.
He walked quickly to the door of the hall and looked up at the sky in the south.
Sure enough, I saw a conspicuous golden light breaking through the air at a very fast speed, pointing directly at Weiyang Palace.
At the front of the light, three standing figures could be vaguely seen.
Even though Liu Che's will was firm, seeing this strange scene, his heart was also shocked.
Sword flying? This was completely beyond his cognitive scope.
Could it be... really an immortal?
But why did the immortal bring two people wearing dragon robes to his palace?
"Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, follow me to the Que Tower!"
"Gongsun Hong, Zhang Tang, you two immediately go to appease the officials, block the news, and don't cause greater chaos!"
"Mobilize the Qimen army to guard the palace gate, without my order, no one is allowed to use weapons, especially against those three in the sky!"
Liu Che ordered quickly, his tone decisive.
He knew that the most important thing at the moment was not panic, but to figure out the purpose of the visitors.
If it is really an immortal, using force is the way to take death; if it is a monster, it also needs to be planned before moving.
"We obey the edict!"
Liu Che, under the protection of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and a group of elite Lang officials, walked quickly to the highest Phoenix Que next to the front hall of Weiyang Palace.
Here the view is wide, enough to overlook most of the Imperial City.
They had just stood firm on the Que Tower, and the golden light had flown directly above the Imperial Palace, and then... stopped steadily.
