A woman in her forties, wearing a blue flower cloth jacket, took Liang Yuyan's hand affectionately, and said with a warm smile: "Girl, you must be tired, invite your partners in, let's go prepare something to eat, you have a good rest." ”

didn't expect it to go so smoothly, Liang Yuyan naturally wouldn't refuse, she told everyone to bring her companions over, and hurriedly returned to the village.

When Luo Qingluan and the others heard Liang Yuyan talk about it, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but Leng Li frowned, and he didn't know why he and Liang Yuyan were treated differently. Frowning, he kept his face calm, followed Mu Xiaoyu, who was jumping up, and walked towards the village.

The group finally entered the village, and it seemed that someone had reported it, and a woman led by someone was surrounded and looked at everyone. When she saw Leng Li again, the woman frowned slightly, but finally did not have a seizure.

She took a few steps forward and said to Liang Yuyan, "These are your companions?" ”

Liang Yuyan nodded: "Yes, you are...... What about the village chief? ”

The woman introduced herself and said that she was the village chief of Wangjia Village, Luo Qingluan glanced at Liang Yuyan, but she didn't expect the village chief of this village to be a woman. Along the way, they did find that this village was different, not only did the women not work and only chattered, but the men did not dare to take care of the women.

It's like the ...... in front of you.

Luo Qingluan saw that in the yard, a man in his thirties was cleaning the sheepfold, sweating profusely and not resting. Ignoring their group of outsiders, they have no opinion at all about such a large group of women chattering around in their own house. I'm afraid I'm used to it for a long time!

When he saw Luo Qingluan's curious eyes, instead of getting angry, the man smiled politely at her, but didn't dare to say more.

It's so weird!

"We passed through this place and accidentally got lost, thanks to the village chief for taking it in." Luo Qingluan smiled slightly and entered the house, and explained the situation of the group in a few short sentences, and the female village chief surnamed Wang didn't ask much, and politely asked everyone to sit down, and asked people to prepare food.

Understanding the current situation is the first priority, Luo Qingluan didn't say much, only took care of his son seriously. Liang Yuyan knew it well, and quietly asked about the customs and surrounding conditions here.

While distributing food to everyone, the village chief said with a smile: "This is the border of Tianxia Kingdom, I am afraid that it is the first time for you to come, and it is normal not to understand." ”

"Tianxia Kingdom?" Liang Yuyan said in surprise, she had never heard of this country at all.

"That'...... I wonder if the village chief has heard of Xichu or Dongyuan? Luo Qingluan asked tentatively.

After all, their target was Dongyuan, and she was going to find Nalan Ye, not to stay in Tianxia Country. If she didn't find out where she was as soon as possible, she was afraid that the longer it dragged on, the worse the situation would become, and she had to get out of here as soon as possible.

"What Dongwan? Where is Xichu? The village chief looked dazed, thought for a while and asked the person next to him, "Have you heard of it?" ”

"What's the matter? There is no such strange place in Tianxia Kingdom, which village is it afraid of? ”

The women immediately began to talk again, some speculated whether Dongwan was a village in the western part of Tianxia Kingdom, some asked if it had changed its name, and some said that they had never heard of these names, and they were afraid that they were cities from other surrounding countries.

For a while, everyone was talking, and they were curious, but no one said why.

Luo Qingluan was dead, but he was afraid that these women had never gone far at all, although they were not like the women of the Western Chu Kingdom, who had to take care of housework all day long, but they were not as good as men running around. Maybe they have to go to the capital of Tianxia Kingdom to inquire about something.

The village chief nodded: "The capital is not far from Wangjia Village, and it will take three or five days to walk west." ”

It's okay, three or five days is indeed not far away, Luo Qingluan nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she seemed to remember the name Tianxia Kingdom.

In my impression, Dongfang Zhidie once told her, but she mentioned it casually at the time, and she didn't pay much attention to it, and it was over after hearing it.

Dongfang Zhidie's father ran a horse farm in Western Chu, and some of the horses were breeders and horses imported from Tianxia Kingdom. The Tianxia Kingdom is mainly grazing, raising a large number of good horses, cattle and sheep, but because of nomadic reasons, it rarely communicates with the outside world. Only those who raise horses like the Dongfang family and have business dealings with Tianxia State know something.

But Luo Qingluan didn't hear Dongfang Zhidie say that the women of Tianxia Kingdom didn't work, maybe she didn't understand it either.

Soon, everyone was full of food and drink, and the village chief let everyone rest, but when assigning the room, he didn't take into account the cold separation at all.

"Him?" The village chief looked at Leng Li strangely, and said casually: "Just live casually, how can there be extra rooms for men to live alone." ”

Leng Li's face sank, and he didn't open his mouth after all. Luo Qingluan gave him a look and asked him to be more forbearing, after all, when he goes out, the most important thing is not to make trouble, and safety comes first.

The next day, Luo Qingluan resigned to the village chief.

"Since I have something to leave, I won't leave you behind, but I still have to bring some dry food." The village chief looked majestic, as if the head of the family was in a posture, and asked the man who was chopping wood in the yard to prepare.

The man is obviously the husband of the village chief, and Luo Qingluan and the others also knew about it last night, but they have no status, as if they are subordinates. He glanced at the crowd a few times, smiled all over his face, and hurriedly entered the kitchen, and in a moment prepared a bunch of scallion pancakes, as well as air-dried meat and a few pots of rice wine.

The village chief chattered a few more words, and was very enthusiastic to let them have a smooth journey.

Finally leaving Wangjia Village, the group gradually moved away, the sound of horses' hooves, and went in the direction of the capital of Tianxia Kingdom.

I don't know what the difference is between the people of Tianxia Kingdom and the people of Wangjia Village, Luo Qingluan always feels that they are a little weird, and they are different from Xichu and Dongwan.

After three days of travel, everyone finally reached their destination.

Although there was the capital of the Tianxia Kingdom in front of them, everyone still walked for a long time before they saw the city gate.

I don't know why the gate of the capital city of Tianxia is much more lively than other cities, and the guards are more than twice as many as other cities.

On weekdays, I heard that the national style was open in the summer of this day, and the status of women was extremely high, and there was a posture of women being inferior to men. Now at this city gate, it can already be seen.

Fortunately, they did not embarrass them, and some of them entered the capital with ease.

The exotic scenery is blowing in the face, and the charm of the Tianxia Kingdom is fully unfolded in the capital.

"It turns out that this is the Tianxia Kingdom! The streets are full of women! Liang Yuyan exclaimed.

You can't see such a scene in other countries, and the women are dressed up charmingly and gorgeously, and walk on the street elegantly and calmly. The woman's male companion was half a step behind the woman, with a meek and humble smile, and surrounded the woman in the middle with a group of subordinates holding the moon like a moon.

Looking around, there are many shops on this street, and many of the shopkeepers are women. These female shopkeepers are not as reserved as the women of the Western Chu Kingdom, but they are extremely warm and generous. Entertaining guests with a big smile on their faces, no one thought there was anything wrong with them showing their heads like this.

"I have long known that the status of women in Tianxia Kingdom is extremely high, but I didn't know that it has reached such a point, and this Tianxia Kingdom also lives up to its reputation that fascinates Tianxia's daughter." Luo Qingluan looked at the scene in front of him and was also a little surprised.

"This day Xia Kingdom is also quite interesting, the capital is located on the national border, not to mention, the city is still lively like a festival." Liang Yuyan smashed her mouth. Running to a stall with great interest, he picked up a delicate mask and looked at it with great interest.

Luo Qingluan raised his eyebrows with interest: "Maybe today is really a festival in Tianxia Kingdom." ”

"How many of you are from another country?" A rather bony looking little girl didn't know when she came to them, staring at them with big eyes.

"yes." Luo Qingluan smiled and nodded at her: "May I ask the girl what festival is it today, why is the city so lively?" ”

"Then you're really here today!" The girl was not guarded at all, and said happily: "Today is the celebration of the fifth anniversary of our daughter's accession to the throne, and the empress will parade in a sedan chair, and then we can see the true face of the empress!" ”

"Have you never seen your empress look like you?" Mu Xiaoyu asked curiously.

The girl was stunned by Mu Xiaoyu's innocent tone, which was completely different from her appearance, tilted her head and looked at Mu Xiaoyu, but still replied: "How can we ordinary people see the empress so easily?" In your country, is it okay to see the emperor casually? ”

"That's right." Mu Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully.

"If it's okay, I'll leave first, my sister is coming to me, see you soon!" The girl glanced into the distance, and said to Luo Qingluan with a smile again.

"Thank you, girl, go slowly."

The girl said so much to them, and out of politeness, Luo Qingluan gently blessed her body.

The girl jumped away, and she could vaguely hear the girl's unique crisp voice: "Sister, you don't know, just now I met a few people from other countries, the leading girl is good-looking, and the other people are also first-class handsome!" ”

"This little girl is quite funny." Liang Yuyan couldn't help laughing: "Come to think of it, the empress of Tianxia Kingdom must have a beautiful face, she is a rare beauty in the world, I kind of want to go to see the empress's parade." ”

"The Empress is here! The Empress is coming! I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and suddenly the crowd that was still walking unhurriedly on the street withdrew to both sides, leaving the middle road.

"It's all here, you might as well see what the empress looks like, there are not many opportunities to see the empress of Tianxia Kingdom." Luo Qingluan led everyone to retreat to the side.

The group naturally had no opinion, and looking at the people looking forward to it, they couldn't help but feel their blood boiling.

The music comes from far and near, and a burst of fragrance wafts in, which is refreshing.

The people, who had been boiling for a while, suddenly fell silent, quietly looking in the direction where the music came from.

I saw two columns of women in light gauze skirts strolling over, dancing to the rhythm of music, extremely soft and graceful, but with indescribable solemnity. The empress's sedan chariot followed, carried by forty-nine strong men, tall and gorgeous, and extremely luxurious.

The empress sat on it, dressed in a golden phoenix robe, with a noble and beautiful appearance, like an immortal.

At the four corners of the sedan chair stood four women with delicate faces, holding flower baskets and scattering the petals in the basket into the air. The procession was immense, and the attendants kept distributing gifts to the people waiting nearby. The music is earth-shattering, and the light singing and dancing are not spectacular.

The eyes of the surrounding people were clearly fanatical, and they knelt down one after another wherever the empress sedan chair went, raising their hands and shouting: "Long live the empress!" Hooray, hooray! ”

Luo Qingluan and his entourage were mixed behind the people, and after seeing the people kneeling, they had to squat down with the people and watch the long guard of honor pass by.

"It turns out that this is the empress of Tianxia Kingdom!" Mu Xiaoyu stared at the person on the sedan chair with wide eyes, his eyes were shining.

Just when everyone was still sighing, suddenly an abrupt whistle sounded, piercing the music straight into the ears of the group.

"Not good!" Luo Qingluan was shocked when he heard this whistle, and immediately shouted, "Something happened!" ”
