205 Chapter 205, Xiongnu Tribe is Preparing To Participate in the Martial Arts Conference
The Xiongnu Tribe quickly found out that the Great Zhou Dynasty was hosting the first-ever Martial Arts Convention.
Tetumtan thought that they needed to show off their strength to the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and the people under the god and demon also thought it was a good opportunity.
They could use the competition as an opportunity to send people into the Central Plains in an open manner so that they could find the location of the treasure.
With the pride of the Central Plainsmen, it would definitely not be good for them to refuse a challenge from an expert from a foreign land.
As long as you didn’t cause trouble, it didn’t matter if you participated in the Martial Arts Conference. You were definitely no match for the martial arts world of the Central Plains.
The people behind the First Princess and the Imperial Advisor all thought it was an opportunity.
If he could send an expert to win the title of the world’s number one, not only would he be able to give the Zhou Dynasty a slap in the face, but he could also take the opportunity to find treasures. Moreover, the winner would definitely get Tetumtan’s approval.
The First Prince could not refuse the Imperial Advisor’s request, because it was not the time to fall out with him yet.
“Master! Master! Something big has happened!” Lia ran in again and shouted at He Chuan.
“Copy the book ten times today,” He Chuan looked at Taixuan Scripture nonchalantly. He was very dissatisfied with Lia’s behavior.
“Eldest Sister and the First Prince are both going to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty to attend the number one Martial Arts Conference. Let’s go as well. I also want to see the scenery of the Central Plains.” Lia was already used to copying books.
Now that she was not inferior to others, the tacticians under her all thought that Lia had to follow.
If Lia could become the world’s number one, her chances of becoming the successor would be even greater.
He Chuan had no interest in the Martial Arts Conference.
It was just fighting for an empty title. Moreover, he did not have to go through so much trouble to help Lia to the top.
“Master, I heard that the First Prince and Eldest Sister have both sent saint cultivator experts. If you don’t come with me, I won’t have a chance!” Lia hugged the cashier’s arm and said coyly.
A hidden saint cultivator?
He Chuan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they were after the treasures of the Central Plains?
Participating in the Martial Arts Conference was just one of the reasons.
“Young Master, why don’t we go back and take a look?” Cai Lian also missed the local customs of the Zhou Dynasty.
She wanted to go back and take a look.
“Alright, let’s go and take a look.” He Chuan took the opportunity to agree.
Lia’s goal had finally been achieved, so she was naturally very happy.
She immediately ordered her subordinates to get ready.
…
At the same time, the Empress of the Great Zhou Empire, Changning, received He Chuan’s letter. Knowing that her husband was going to return to the capital, she was very happy.
However, things weren’t that simple. The Xiongnu people’s goal in coming here wasn’t simple, they were after the legendary treasure.
She had no clue yet, so no matter what, she couldn’t let the evil cultivators from the outer realms succeed.
“Let general Qin Yuntian enter the palace to see me!” Empress Changning announced that she would be meeting the commander of the Imperial army. The security of the capital had to be strengthened.
In the vast desert.
He Chuan was sitting on his camel, reading a book in his hand.
No matter what kind of environment it was, it would be difficult for it to affect his strength.
Lia and Cai Lian were also fine. After all, they were also true experts.
The aura of saint cultivators could be sensed from the First Prince and the First Princess’ team. It seemed that they placed great importance on this trip to the Zhou Dynasty.
“After crossing the desert, we’ll reach the Zhou Dynasty. That’s where the truly beautiful scenery is. I’m sure Little Sister Lia will like it.” Cai Lian recalled the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou City, which was many times better than the grassland.
Perhaps this was also why the Xiongnu Tribes eyed the Zhou Dynasty so covetously. It was because the Central Plains were vast and had many resources.
It was very suitable for survival.
“Really? What delicacies are there in the Central Plains?” Lia understood Cai Lian’s character very well and deliberately found a topic that the other party liked.
“Bird’s nest chicken shreds soup, sea cucumber braised pork tendons, fresh razor clam shredded radish, kelp pork belly soup, abalone braised pearl vegetables, cabbage shrimp soup, shark’s fin crab soup, mushroom braised chicken, rumbling hammer, fish belly braised ham soup.” When Cai Lian first entered the palace, she had seen the Emperor’s menu.
At that time, she had been drooling.
“Sister Cai Lian, don’t say anymore. My little stomach is already hungry!” Lia felt that she was still a little short-sighted. These dishes sounded delicious just by their name.
It wasn’t like when she was in the grasslands, where she could only eat meat all day.
After a long time, she would get tired of it.
“There are many specialty snacks on the streets. I’ll bring you to try them after we get to Yangzhou City! ” Cai Lian patted her small chest and said with a sense of loyalty.
She didn’t dare to say that she was very good at martial arts cultivation, but in the area of food, she had almost eaten everything in Yangzhou City.
She knew where the food was good, what flavor it was, and what specialty dishes or snacks were as if she was familiar with them.
He Chuan was deeply impressed by this!
He said that Cai Lian must be the reincarnation of the god of food and had tasted all the delicacies in the human world in this life.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. After a long journey, their group finally arrived at Yangzhou City.
Yangzhou was located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, opposite Zhenjiang City. It was an ancient city with a long history.
The lakes were dense, the scenery was beautiful, and the culture was profound.
Yangzhou is a famous metropolis on the east of Huaihe River, a beautiful residence in Zhuxi Pavilion!
As the Zhou Dynasty’s economy became more stable, the market grew bigger by the day. At night, Yangzhou City was very lively, and music filled the air.
In the glittering dance pavilion, young girls were dancing, and the streets were full of tourists.
The spring wind was ten miles on Yangzhou road, rendering the city’s luxurious and prosperous atmosphere. The streets of Yangzhou City were bustling with traffic, and the dance pavilions were dense. It was noisy and prosperous, and flowers were blooming.
On the road of Yangzhou, there were countless bead curtains, and under all the curtains, there were countless beauties in red clothes and green sleeves, but it was better to roll up the bead curtains.
Such a beautiful scene caused the Xiongnu people to be mesmerized.
“The scenery of the Zhou Dynasty is indeed beautiful!” Lia couldn’t help but sigh.
Before she could continue admiring the view, a group of fully armed soldiers came up to her.
The leader was He Chuan’s old acquaintance, Yangzhou’s Magister, Wei Qiancheng!
“Haha, an honored guest of the Xiongnu people has come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you.” Wei Qiancheng didn’t get off his horse. Instead, he cupped his fists and bowed.
Because he was an official of the Zhou Dynasty and represented the powerful Great Zhou. The Princesses and Princes of the grasslands were not worthy of his respect.
If Tetumtan had come in person, he would have dismounted to welcome him.
The fist was the truth, and dignity was above the blade.
“I’m here to participate in the Martial Arts Conference. May I know your name, sir?” Although the First Prince was displeased, the other party had already given him face, so he could not flare up.
Otherwise, not only would this trip to the Zhou Dynasty end, they might even lose their lives there.
The Eldest Princess was not to be outdone either. She quickly came out to express her stance, not letting the First Prince steal the limelight.
Wei Qiancheng had been an official for many years. He could tell at a glance that the Princess and Prince of the grassland were not on good terms.
“I am the Yangzhou Magister, Wei Qiancheng. I have received Her Majesty’s decree and know that guests from the grasslands have arrived. I have especially received you!” He glanced at He Chuan but did not acknowledge him.
To put it nicely, it was reception, but to put it bluntly, it was surveillance.
There were arrangements for reception along the way.
