As a means of transportation specially provided by the royal family, dragons are both fashionable and practical. Flying in the sky is always faster than running on the ground. A 100-meter-long dragon can fly hundreds of meters with a flap of its wings, and its speed is almost as fast as that of a commercial airliner. The most important thing is that it is very stable after flying, and you can even drink a cup of tea leisurely while sitting in the station above, and you will not feel a bumpy feeling at all when you sleep.
It is not very friendly to people who are afraid of heights, but for those who are not afraid of heights, it is very pleasant to sit on the back of a dragon and look at the mountains and rivers below.
During the trip, I found the latest newspaper in the capital in Longbei's guest room and read it on the table. Suddenly, I vaguely heard someone calling my name outside. After taking Alaiya out, we found that the dragon that Baihuang was riding was flying side by side with us, and Baihuang stood on the back of the dragon and waved towards us. Heji stood behind her, looking helpless.
I didn't know what she was going to do, so I waved to her, and then I saw Bai Huang running towards this direction suddenly, and He Ji immediately stopped her. The two argued for a while, and Heggie glanced in our direction. The distance between the two dragons must be more than a hundred meters. He Ji squinted his eyes, wrapped Bai Huang's waist with one hand, and led her to jump onto our dragon.
The dragon sank immediately, but quickly flew back to its original height.
Heji wiped the cold sweat off his head, while Baihuang laughed loudly.
She patted me on the shoulder and said:
"It's boring! The land is as big as a palm, and you can't stretch your body if you want to move around. Lide, is there anything interesting?"
I replied blankly:
"Bungee jumping."
Bai Huang asked:
"What is bungee jumping?"
I pointed down:
"Find an elastic rope, tie one end to your leg and the other end to the dragon's claw, and then you jump from here, you will go up and down repeatedly at high altitude. When you fall, you fall into the abyss, when you go up It’s like flying through the clouds, the sky and the earth are constantly rotating in your field of vision, and the cold wind is whispering in your ears, it’s as exciting as you want.”
Bai Huang let out an "oh" and looked at Heji.
"No way!"
He Ji knelt down on one knee, and just begged Bai Huang not to do so.
Bai Huang's thinking is very detached, and it's not something He Ji can stop.
It's just that after searching here for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable rope, so I couldn't implement it. But Bai Huang remembered this matter, and said that when he came back from the capital, he must buy a suitable rope and play with a big ticket. People like me, who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, naturally applaud, saying that I will help her choose a good one when the time comes.
As for why Baihuang came to the capital this time, I can understand after a little thought.
Bai Ye and Bai Feng are fighting openly and secretly in the sea of clouds, and neither of them will leave at this time. If the royal family sent a letter hastily, they might offend those two. It's better to sell it well and let Baihuang go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. After all, Baihuang has a good relationship with Baiye and Baifeng. No matter who takes over as the lord in the future, Baihuang's position in Yunhai will only increase.
The royal family probably wanted to win over Baihuang. After all, the Sea of Clouds Territory is a powerful territory that ranks among the top ten in terms of overall strength, and Baihuang has a pretty good influence in the Sea of Clouds. If Baihuang can stand on the side of the royal family, the royal family will have more confidence in the future. But for me who had talked with Baifeng in private, I was not very optimistic about this matter. Unless Bai Ye inherits the lordship in the future, Yunhai will definitely expand outwards to fight for the throne.
After chatting and laughing with Bai Huang for a while, the four of them entered the room and sat down. Bai Huang took a sip of tea from the teacup and said:
"Hey, it's still interesting to chat with you. Heji is good at everything, but he's too boring. He's like a log, very boring."
The corner of Heji's mouth twitched, I changed the topic in time, and asked Baihuang:
"It's the first time I've been to the capital, have you been there before?"
Bai Huang became interested, sat up straight, leaned slightly towards me, and said:
"I've been there. I went there when I was young, to celebrate the king's birthday. My father couldn't go there, so I asked my brother to take me there. But I was only six or seven years old at the time, and those people didn't allow me to go anywhere. Run away, locked me in the hall for a few days, my brother relied on being a boy, obviously not much older than me, wandered around, casually chatted with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and was considered a young talent by the capital at that time Hey, I locked it up, otherwise my brother wouldn’t be in the limelight.”
I smiled and said:
"It's a good thing that you were locked up, otherwise the capital city will probably be demolished by you."
Bai Huang pouted:
"Hmph. But I'm not envious of my brother. What's the point of just looking for someone to chat with? This time I'm here alone. I'm going to eat all the delicious food. I can buy the fun ones and buy them back. You have to experience it enough. Like the star lantern boat on Qingqiu River, the snack street on Fu’an Street, and the beautiful girls in Yulu Building, I have to have enough fun before leaving this time.”
At this time Alaiya was by my side, so I naturally wouldn't say anything like "Old Siji take me with you", I suppressed the desire in my heart, and asked Bai Huang with a dignified look and no concern about it. road:
"Do you understand the current situation in the capital?"
Bai Huang simply said:
"'Ten ministers and ten generals sit in the center, one mansion and two guards are on both sides. Yesterday white clothes worshiped the minister, who will be the king tomorrow.' I heard that these are things that children can sing. Ten ministers and ten generals refer to the ten in the court. The ministers and the ten generals, the first mansion refers to the Tiance Mansion, the second guard refers to the imperial guards and Jinyiwei. The white clothes refer to the new ministers in white clothes. As for the last sentence, the Tian family has no family, and the princes There is a serious struggle between them, and I don't know who will take over the throne in the future."
I muttered a sentence:
"It's so fancy, it makes me a little confused."
Baihuang said:
"It's actually simple. The ten ministers and ten generals are members of the imperial court. They help the king make decisions together and share a large part of the decision-making power. One mansion and two guards are under the direct jurisdiction of the king, who control the military power and supervisory power. The white clothes are a few months old. Those who entered the capital of the kingdom theoretically were under one person and above ten thousand people, but ten ministers and ten generals generally excluded him, and he couldn't carry out many things. Civil servants and generals fought bloody battles with white clothes, and so did the princes. Fighting openly and secretly, as many as thirty-seven ministers were involved in the vortex last month and were inexplicably beheaded and ransacked their homes. Now the water in the capital is very muddy. But anyway, if the sky falls, it won’t hit us. Let’s not go in and disturb Hey, you should eat and drink, just wipe your mouth and leave when you are full."
Bai Huang didn't elaborate, but heard a sentence from outside:
"Snowing!"
It seemed to be shouted by the soldier driving the dragon. Bai Huang immediately put down the chat, put on his coat, and ran out in a hurry. Alaiya and I also put on our clothes and went out, and we saw a light snow falling from the sky.
Several soldiers intentionally slowed down the flying speed of the dragon and hovered in mid-air.
Alaya reached out to catch a small snowflake, and watched the snow melt into her palm bit by bit.
She breathed out a breath of hot air, a faint smile appeared on her face that was pale with cold, and she said softly:
"It is very beautiful, sir."
