At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 330 Father and daughter meet
There are flat and broad official roads, crisscrossing fields, fruitful harvests, crisscrossing canals, and neatly built villages in Xiliang County.

Most of these villages and towns are built with fired blue bricks supplemented with historical materials and wood, and the streets and houses in the towns are lined up one after another.

Even ordinary people could wear silk. The prosperity of Xiliang opened Yuan Qingfeng's eyes.

The hospitality of the people of Xiliang also shocked her. Many times, she just asked for directions, but they would drag her home, treat her to delicious food and drinks, and give her a lot of food when she left.

Every hundred miles on each official road, there would be a military station stationed to patrol. No matter it was windy or rainy, thundering or lightning, day or night, one could encounter cavalry from Xiliang and constables from the Criminal Investigation Department on the road.

Even those unruly people in the martial arts world became well-behaved when they arrived in Xiliang.

From what he saw and heard, Yuan Qingfeng felt that this place had nothing to do with the words "bitter and cold".

It's more like a paradise.

She began to understand why countless people came to Xiliang with their families along the way.

Originally, Yuan Qingfeng planned to go to the Imperial Academy to see Yuan Jingchen.

For more than 20 years, she has looked down on her father, thinking that he is weak and timid and not a man at all.

She only knew how to study hard in Huishan, so she had to be self-reliant and strong since she was a child, and take on the responsibility that should have belonged to Yuan Jingchen.

It was such a wimp and a waste who suddenly left Huishan last year and has not been heard from since.

Later, Yuan Jingchen suddenly appeared in the Aixue Palace and was personally appointed as the Grand Master of the Palace by the powerful King of Xiliang.

From a waste, he transformed himself into the one who commands the academy.

Yuan Qingfeng didn't know what had happened, but she knew that because of her father, Yuan Jingchen, her status in Huishan had greatly risen, and she was almost the designated next head of the family.

This time, she came to Xiliang just to meet Yuan Jingchen.

But now she has changed her mind and plans to come to Xiliang City first.

As the most prosperous city in Xiliang and the location of the Xiliang Palace, Xiliang City has undergone many expansions and renovations.

Although each action was not big, when they accumulated over time, the current Xiliang City has undergone almost earth-shaking changes compared to when Xiao Han first took over Xiliang.

The city was expanded several times. The towering city wall is twelve feet high and has four gates, one each for the east, west, south and north.

Eight small doors were opened in front of the main gate, with four entrances and four exits.

Even the majestic Qingyou Pass seemed tiny in front of Xiliang City. Yuan Qingfeng had never seen such a majestic city.

"I'm afraid that only the capital city can compare to Xiliang City."

An idea came to her mind.

With the pass, he entered the city very smoothly and found an inn to stay in. In Xiliang City, four- and five-story taverns and inns can be found everywhere, and even eight- and nine-story ones are next to each other.

Not far away is a big river that connects to the moat. There are many large and small ships docked at the dock.

"The girl is here early."

In the lobby, the waiter serving tea said, "In early September, our Xiliang City will be bustling, especially the Huanhua River across the street. At night, the lights will be bright and there will be crowds of people. You can see people and food from all over the world."

"There are also many dancers from the Western Regions performing, which is very exciting."

"A dancer from the Western Regions?"

Yuan Qingfeng was surprised.

"Yes."

The servant explained, "Since the trade route between Xiliang and the Western Regions was opened, countless people from the Western Regions travel to Xiliang every year. Pearls, jade, gold, and white jade are brought here in carts and carts."

"Let's not talk about far away places. Let's just talk about the several jade shops on our street. Business is booming. If you are interested, you can go out for a walk after dinner." "Thank you."

Yuan Qingfeng nodded, had lunch, took a shower and changed clothes in the room, then walked around Xiliang City. The cries of street vendors were heard one after another, and there were also many performers, whose techniques were so exquisite that even Yuan Qingfeng could not see any flaws.

After staying in Xiliang City for a few days, she slowly went to Qi County. The continuous rain stopped and the sky cleared up. On both sides of the Yellow River, in the vast farmland, many officials and farmers could be vaguely seen.

In the evening, when you step into Qi County, you can vaguely see a stretch of palaces on the bank of a river in the distance, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Behind the palace is a mountain, and on top of the mountain is a great hall. Only because Yuan Qingfeng has excellent eyesight can he see these outlines.

"Is this the academy?"

There was an unconcealable shock in her beautiful eyes. It was no wonder that a palace of this size had surpassed the Imperial Academy in the capital and become the number one palace in the world since its opening ceremony.

Even Huishan, which has stood in Jianzhou for a hundred years, feels dwarfed by Xue Gong.

They are not on the same level at all. The gap between the two is too huge.

Not to mention the academy, the eleven palaces of literature and the seven palaces of martial arts, all of them are well-known in the world.

Master Xun, the Great Immortal of Wudang, Liu Xuanxuan, Yao Yue, Nie Si Niang, etc., and Qingyao, the world's number one swordsman who defeated Peach Blossom Sword God head-on.

Pick any one of them, they are all powerful warriors who dominate the martial arts world.

Huishan was like an ant in front of the academy.

But even though there is such a giant existence, its Grand Palace Master is a waste, Yuan Jingchen.

Yuan Qingfeng had many doubts in her heart. She vaguely felt that her father might not be as cowardly as he appeared to be.

After all, the King of Xiliang never made mistakes in judging people, and the person who could be so appreciated by him must be no ordinary person.

She shook her head, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, led the yellow-brown horse, stepped onto the stone bridge, and prepared to cross the Yellow River. But when she walked not far, she found a man standing on the opposite side of the bridge.

He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, wearing a green Confucian robe, with an elegant face, a beard under his chin, and a kind smile on his face, looking at him.

There was a hint of joy in Yuan Qingfeng's eyes, but it was immediately hidden, and her pretty face returned to its cold expression.

Holding hands, walk across the bridge.

"Qingfeng, you are here."

On one side of the bridge, Yuan Jingchen, the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy, put his hands in his sleeves and spoke in a gentle tone.

Even though he is extremely powerful now, he has not changed and still looks calm and composed.

A modest gentleman is nothing more than this.

"You knew I was coming?"

Yuan Qingfeng asked.

"know."

Yuan Jingchen nodded: "A few days ago, my grandmother sent someone to tell me that you entered Xiliang from Qingyou Pass."

In this regard.

Yuan Qingfeng was not surprised. She did not hide her whereabouts. When she entered Qingyou Pass, her real name was registered.

With the ability of King Xiliang, it is not difficult for him to find out his whereabouts.
