You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Zuiyue Restaurant.

This is the largest restaurant in Liangjieguan.

On the second floor, the young man sat by the window, waiting for the guards to come and get information while listening to the discussions around him.

From these discussions, the young master also heard some news. The Qinglong Dynasty was gone, the Great Zhou unified the Eastern Region, and the situation in the entire Eastern Region had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Hearing the news, the young man's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

It is really surprising that the Qinglong Dynasty was destroyed.

"Your Highness."

"It seems that this Great Zhou is not simple!"

The old man next to him listened to the discussions around him and spoke in a serious tone.

Before, he knew that something unexpected had happened in the Eastern Region, but he had never imagined that the change would be so huge.

"Yes! It's not easy."

The young man nodded.

One dynasty, in just a short period of time, overthrew the dominant dynasty in the Eastern Region, and even destroyed several other dynasties. Not only did it unify the entire Eastern Region, but it also suppressed the disturbances of those foreign races. This is no longer something that can be described as simple.

You know, even in the Central Region, it is not easy for the Imperial Court to suppress those alien races that are causing trouble.

Although the alien races in the Central Region are more powerful than those in the Eastern Region, the strength of the Imperial Court is by no means comparable to that of the barren Eastern Region.

At this time.

The guard who went to get information came back.

"Your Highness, I have already found out everything."

"Oh! Tell me about it."

The young man glanced sideways at the guard.

"Your Highness, this Great Zhou is not from our Savage Realm. The Great Zhou came from a small realm. After merging into the Great Wilderness, it first attacked and destroyed several other great dynasties, and then had a war with the four top sects in the Eastern Region..."

For a saint, it is very easy to find out some information.

Basically, no information can be hidden from the detection of the saint.

The guard told all the news about the Great Zhou and the current situation in the Eastern Region that he had found out.

It was more detailed, comprehensive and specific than what I heard from the discussions around me.

After hearing the news from the guard, the young man couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Humph, this Great Zhou is really bold. A dynasty that came from a small world actually dared to start a war and consume the strength of our human race. It really doesn't take the strict orders of our imperial court seriously at all!"

As a highness of the imperial court, what he hates most is people who break the rules and commit crimes against their superiors.

It can be said that almost everyone in a high position dislikes people who do not follow the rules.

After all, the Qinglong Dynasty was a lucky dynasty appointed by the Imperial Court. It suppressed the fortune of the human race in the Eastern Region and was also related to the national destiny guarded by the four dragons of the Imperial Court.

If the Qinglong Dynasty is destroyed, the fate of the imperial court will inevitably be affected.

Although this impact is not significant, it is also weakening the imperial court's national fortune.

You must know that when the national fortune is strong, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe.

On the contrary, a weak national fortune symbolizes decline and natural and man-made disasters.

However, problems also occurred in the other three regions, so the Eastern Region was no longer important.

"How much information have you found out about the strong man who resisted the projection of the half-emperor?"

The young master asked.

This is what he cares about most, everything else is not important.

"Your Highness, the strong man who was able to resist the projection of the Half-Emperor is called Li Cunxiao. He is a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He appeared suddenly. This is all we know about him. Moreover, most of the strong men in the Great Zhou Dynasty seem to be like this. They all appeared suddenly, and there is no trace of their past."

The guard said in a serious tone.

Such situations are rare.

It stands to reason that, under normal circumstances, no matter how deeply someone hides, there will always be some traces left.

However, these powerful men of the Great Zhou had no traces of the past at all, as if they appeared out of thin air.

One is like this.

The same goes for both.

This is a bit weird.

"Oh! That's interesting."

"It seems that this Great Zhou has many secrets!"

The young man's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

It is incredible enough that a dynasty in a small world has produced powerful people above the saint level one after another.

These powerful men have not left any trace of their past. No one would believe that there are no secrets in the Great Zhou.

I'm afraid this secret is not small.

Thinking of this, the young man stood up immediately.

"Let's go! Now that we have heard the news, let's go meet the emperor of the Great Zhou."

The young master was very interested in the strange situation in Da Zhou.

If we can figure out these secrets of the Great Zhou, we might get unexpected gains.

As soon as they finished speaking, the four figures disappeared silently from the spot.

……

Chang'an, the former imperial city.

After more than half a year of appeasement, the initial chaos and unrest have disappeared.

For most ordinary people, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor or who rules the imperial city. What matters is that they can have enough food and clothing and live a stable life.

The demands of the general public are that simple.

When Da Zhou first moved into the imperial city, it might have caused confusion and unrest among most people.

But now, the hearts of the people in the entire imperial city have gradually stabilized, and most people have slowly accepted the rule of the Great Zhou court. The entire imperial city has gradually regained its former prosperity.

This day.

A flying boat came speeding from afar and stopped in the air in front of the city gate.

Four figures walked out of the flying boat, led by a young man with an imposing bearing.

These four people were none other than the young man who came from the Central Region and entered the Two Realms Gate.

After stepping out of the flying boat, the young man stood at the front of the boat, looking down at the city gate and the crowd below.

They neither got off the flying boat immediately and followed the crowd into the city gate, nor did they have any intention of folding up the flying boat. They just stood upright on the flying boat, waiting in the air.

Such actions attracted a lot of people's attention.

Generally speaking, those who came to the imperial city in flying boats would fold up the flying boats at the city gate and enter the imperial city.

But now these people not only did not get off the flying boat, but just waited in the air. What do they want to do?

Could it be that he wanted to drive the flying boat directly into the imperial city?

The crowds entering and leaving the city gate all looked at the huge flying boat and the four figures standing on it.

The guards on the city wall became alert upon seeing this, and a figure stepped into the air.

"Who are you?"

“Why are you stuck here?”

Guan Yu looked at the four people on the flying boat with a bad face. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand was ready to go. His aura also rushed directly towards the flying boat, as if he was ready to draw his sword and fight against them if they had a disagreement.

However, this powerful aura disappeared without a trace after rushing into the flying boat.

This made Guan Yu's expression stiffen.

These people were not simple, as they could easily dispel his aura. "I came from the Central Region Imperial Court to see the Emperor of your Great Zhou. This general, please go and inform him!"

The young man looked at Guan Yu and spoke lightly.

He is not as arrogant and domineering as imagined, nor does he have the kind of conceited and self-righteous attitude.

Yes, they are of noble birth, and maybe they are a little arrogant sometimes, and occasionally act like a dandy, but they are definitely not brainless dandies, nor are they brainless, arrogant, and domineering.

The so-called dandy from aristocratic family is just a joke.

Anyone who comes from an extraordinary background is not a fool, nor is he a brainless person who is arrogant and domineering.

"From the Central Region Imperial Court?"

"You want to see His Majesty?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Guan Yu's face, and he looked at the four people on the flying boat suspiciously.

He didn't expect that someone from the Central Region Imperial Court would come and want to see His Majesty.

You know, the Central Region is not close to the Eastern Region, but is far away from it by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Why did these four people come all the way from the Central Region to the Eastern Region to see His Majesty?

"Who are you?"

"Do you have proof?"

Not everyone can just say they are from the Imperial Court and see the Emperor of Great Zhou if they want to.

As the highest-ranking general guarding the city gate today, Guan Yu would not listen to the other party's words that he came from the imperial court and wanted to see the Emperor of the Great Zhou. He would just listen to him and send someone to report without saying anything.

If you don't have enough identity, don't even think about stepping through the city gate, let alone meeting the emperor of the Great Zhou.

"This young master is the best proof of my identity. Just report it. When the time comes, you will naturally know my identity."

The young master did not reveal his identity, but asked Guan Yu to report directly.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu pondered for a moment, looked deeply at the four people on the flying boat, and then sent someone to report to the palace.

No matter what, this matter is no longer something he can decide. Let him report to His Majesty first.

As for the identities of these people, to be honest, he doesn't care.

If they really dare to make fun of Guan Yu afterwards, then these people will never leave. Guan Yu's sword has not seen blood for a long time, and it has been hungry for a long time.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down and reviewing memorials.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked into the Yangxin Palace quietly, came to Zhou Chen's side, and whispered, "Your Majesty, there was news just from the city gate that someone from the Central Region Imperial Court came to our Great Zhou and wants to see Your Majesty."

"Oh!"

Zhou Chen raised his head when he heard this.

"Someone from the Central Region Imperial Court?"

"Why did they come all the way to my Great Zhou?"

"You still want to see me?"

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, somewhat confused.

Zhou Chen was also somewhat surprised that people from the Central Region Imperial Court suddenly came to Great Zhou and wanted to meet him, the emperor of Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou had just unified the Eastern Region and suppressed the unrest of those foreign races. At this critical juncture, people from the Central Region Imperial Court suddenly came and wanted to see him, the emperor of the Great Zhou. This made Zhou Chen think more.

"Who is coming?"

"What is your identity?"

Zhou Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, the person who came did not disclose his identity. The leader was a young man. He only asked the guards at the city gate to inform Your Majesty and did not say anything else."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and replied.

"You didn't mention your identity?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows and pondered.

After a moment, he said to Cao Zhengchun, "Notify the Ministry of Rites and have them receive them. Let's see what their purpose is in coming all the way from the Central Region Imperial Court to our Great Zhou?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun responded and was about to bow and leave when Zhou Chen called him again.

"and many more."

"Let the Prime Minister take the people from the Ministry of Rites with him."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen added another sentence.

After all, the visitor is from the Central Domain Imperial Court. No matter what his identity is, it would be better to appear more solemn for the first time. The identity of the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou to receive him is enough.

One of the duties of the Ministry of Rites is diplomacy, and receiving visits or exchanges from foreign countries is their job.

Normal diplomatic or diplomatic relations would not involve such a sudden visit.

Obviously, the visit from the Central Region Imperial Court this time was not an official visit.

Zhou Chen asked the Prime Minister to bring people from the Ministry of Rites to receive the guests, which was already very considerate.

As for wanting to meet him, the emperor of the Great Zhou, haha, not everyone is qualified to meet him directly.

Cao Zhengchun responded and left.

……

The city gate.

When Guan Yu saw Zhuge Liang appear with several officials from the Ministry of Rites, he stepped aside.

Looking at the flying boat hovering in the sky in front of the city gate, Zhuge Liang glanced at the four people on the flying boat, and his gaze finally stopped on the young man in the lead.

"The presence of a distinguished guest is truly an honor to our Great Zhou. I am the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou. I wonder which prince of the imperial court this young man is?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the young man on the flying boat with a smile on his face, his eyes shining with wisdom.

"Ok?"

When he heard Zhuge Liang's words, a hint of surprise flashed across the young man's face.

He didn't expect that the other party could guess his identity after just looking at him a few times.

This Prime Minister of the Great Zhou is no simple person!

"Master Zhongxiang has a good eye. He can actually tell my identity. I am the thirteenth child in my family."

Since the other party had already guessed it, there was no need for the young man to play dumb any more and he indirectly revealed his identity.

The conversation turned.

"I am a little curious about how the Prime Minister knew my identity."

To be honest, the young man was really curious.

He did not reveal his identity along the way, and when faced with the questioning of Guan Yu's general just now, he did not say how the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou guessed it.

Not only the young master was curious, but also the old man Guan and the two guards beside him were curious about how Zhuge Liang could tell the identity of their prince.

"Your Highness Thirteen, please quickly put away your flying boat and follow me into the city! This is not the place to talk."

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head without giving any further explanation.

As for how he knew the identity of this prince.

Only heaven, earth and he know.

"Too."

The Thirteenth Prince did not ask any more questions to get to the bottom of the matter. This is how conversations between smart people work. You have to know when to stop.

He took a step forward and stepped off the flying boat.

Afterwards, Mr. Guan and two guards followed closely and walked down, casually putting away the flying boat.

The four of them, Zhuge Liang and officials from the Ministry of Rites, entered the imperial city together. (End of this chapter)
