The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 131

Tang Long was actually also a bit hesitant. If not for the recent border missions being quite important, thus resulting in the lack of time to travel home, he would definitely not have asked a group of strangers to deliver some items for him. .    

However, his family was very much waiting to use the items. If the most appropriate time is missed, it will be a pity.    

Tang Long had been arguing for the past few days whether to go home or not and received punishment for doing so. But he knew if he sneaked home without getting approval, it would be considered permission without notice. The lightest punishment he would face was the loss of this esteemed position, and the most severe was the death penalty!    

Tang Long was not afraid of dying for his family, but he knew that if his family did not have him and his job, they would not be able to survive at all.    

Tang Long was the pillar of the family. If he falls, his family will be finished.    

Therefore, Tang Long had still endured his desire to leave his position and go home lately. He was thinking of having someone else take back the items for him, but as a border Wyvern Knight, his status was low and he had yet to gain any advantage in the ten li of land he patrolled.    

Therefore, even though this job looks flashy and glamorous, it is simply a way to provide food on the table and barely live the life of the whole family. His position in society is still quite low.    

As a result, he was basically unable to find anyone he could trust to bring the items home for him.    

Either because people underestimate running errands for him, or he doesn't trust strangers.    

Yet Jiang Chen's group all looked kind and friendly. Moreover, they were generous and were the honored guests of the fourth prince Ye Rong.    

Tang Long had gathered his courage to make this request. The reason he explained so enthusiastically to Jiang Chen's group earlier was to lay the groundwork for the matter.    

Moreover, Tang Long at least felt comfortable because this group of people was quite generous. Although the items he entrusted to them were quite valuable to him, this would not happen in the eyes of these people. The value of the items he entrusted to them was nothing under the bottle of qi filling pills, the Extensive Ocean Pill.    

The only thing he was worried about was that the equipment of this group was too conspicuous and would most likely get them into trouble when they passed through the territories of the Azure Heaven Northern Palace and Qingyang Valley.    

The goods he had deposited had to be delivered within seven days. If it is late to send, there is no point in sending it back at all.    

All sorts of conflicting thoughts made Tang Long give advice repeatedly.    

Jiang Chen patted Tang Long on the shoulder, “Don't worry, I know how important these items are to your family. I promise I won't stay silent.”    

Tang Long was slightly touched. He was an ordinary practitioner and was always looked down upon because of his profession.    

The fourth prince's honored guest was so approachable. Not only did they agree to bring home the items for her, but even patted her on the shoulder full of familiarity.    

“This young master is truly a kind person. I, Old Tang, would like to ask the young master's honorable name.”    

“My family name is Jiang, I am sure we will meet again someday. I'll buy you a drink every time you return to the capital.” Jiang Chen laughed, waved his hand and the group left after saying goodbye.    

According to the route Tang Long pointed out, their journey was indeed free and unobstructed. Add that to the Goldwing Swordbirds' speed, and they flew roughly a thousand li after two hours.    

“Everything reduces your speed. We should have already entered the boundary of the Azure Heaven Northern Palace. According to Tang Long's words, we must be careful here so as not to trespass into their territory.” Jiang Feng was experienced and steady.    

He knew that his son Jiang Chen and his personal bodyguards all had young temperaments. They would definitely have fun on this flight, and he was worried that they would overextend themselves and cause trouble.    

Jiang Chen actually did not have a flamboyant personality as he held back his troops to fly according to a predetermined path. He still enjoys slow flights.    

“Young Master Chen, Skylaurel Kingdom is quite wide and the terrain is very varied.” This was Qiao Baishi's first visit to the Skylaurel Kingdom.    

All sorts of new sights and sounds had expanded his worldview.    

“As expected, Skylaurel Kingdom has a good reputation in the outside world.” Even someone as arrogant as Gouyu could not help but sigh with appreciation.    

When the Eastern Kingdom was compared to the Skylaurel Kingdom, it was truly nothing in comparison.    

Jiang Chen smiled but did not say much. In terms of the vastness of sight, he had never visited many places in this life, yet he had observed the sky and seen all sorts of realms and levels of existence in his previous life.    

This Skylaurel Kingdom was slightly larger than the Eastern Kingdom with more resources. At the heart of it all, it was just an ordinary kingdom as well.    

The difference comes from the disparity between large and small kingdoms.    

Fortunately, Qiao Baishi and the others had high status in the Eastern Kingdom, and they did not lose their minds.    

If Fatty Xuan was beside him, he would definitely yell and yell, venting his emotions carelessly.    

However, Fatty Xuan did not follow Jiang Chen. It was not that he was unwilling; he was actually very willing.    

But in the end, Fatty Xuang was the son of the Duke of Jinshan and the heir of Jinshan. His parents would never let him go.    

The current Duke of Jinshan was one of the four grand dukes of the Eastern Kingdom, and Fatty Xuan was the future heir of one of the four grand dukes. If he left, it would make everything go awry.    

Hence, even though Fatty Xuan was unwilling to do so, he had to remain obedient and remain his heir.    

Hubing Yue was the same as well, but her ideals were much more resolute than Fatty Xuan's. Although he admired Jiang Chen greatly, his personal ambition had always been ranked first.    

Of course, Jiang Chen also did not think that he should bring the two. In the end, both of them were merely remnants of Jiang Chen's previous vulgar life.    

A group of people were flying leisurely when Jiang Chen's ears suddenly moved. The Zephyr ears had caught the sound of a true qi pulse in the distance. It was a current that came from flight and was moving at a very fast speed, heading towards him.    

Jiang Chen's lips moved as he ordered all the Golden Winged Sword Birds to slow down and retreat to two sides in the air.    

He didn't want those reckless people flying over the branches to crash into and collide with him.    

Although Jiang Chen was not afraid of taking care of this matter, he also did not want to intentionally create new problems.    

Loud cries rang out from the front as two light yellow lines burst through the air. Two light yellow fowl pierced through the clouds and pierced through the fog like sharp arrows with outstretched wings, hurtling straight towards Jiang Chen's group.    

Jiang Chen ordered the Goldwing Swordbirds to give way.    

The two beams of light flashed and the radiance radiated behind the light yellow fowl barely caught a glimpse of the people at the side. The two of them were slightly surprised to see Jiang Chen's group.    

One of them said, “eh?” but it did not stop, flying hurriedly past him and did not linger at all.    

The two beams of light had disappeared within the mountain of clouds and sea of fog within the time it took to exhale a single puff of steam, disappearing without a trace.    

“Dragon Gear Guard?” Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that Ye Rong once said that the Dragon Tooth Guard was the royal bodyguard of the Skylaurel Kingdom, similar to the Tiandu army of the Eastern Kingdom.    

Except, the duties and authority of the Dragon Tooth Guards far outweighed the duties and authority of the Tiandu army.    

At least, in the Eastern Kingdom, Tiandu troops rarely left the capital to handle a case, whereas the Dragon Tooth Guards seemed to be scattered throughout the country.    

Whenever they left, the local government had to hand over certain powers to them.    

The Dragon Tooth Guard represents the royal family of the Skylaurel Kingdom. To be honest, they were only responsible to the king of Skylaurel Kingdom.    

For everyone, no matter if they were dukes of the mighty Skylaurel Kingdom, they all had to consider the consequences before offending the Dragon Tooth Guard.    

“This Dragon Tooth Guard is quite strong.” Gouyu also clicked his tongue personally. “Could an ordinary Dragon Tooth Guard be equipped with a flying spirit beast in Skylaurel Kingdom?”    

There was a hint of surprise in Princess Gouyu's tone.    

Even the royal family of the Eastern Kingdom did not have flying spirit beasts. It was not that the Eastern Kingdom did not possess these kind of spirit beasts, but that no one in the Eastern Kingdom had the ability to tame them.    

Jiang Chen was an anomaly in the Eastern Kingdom. Gouyu also did not know how Jiang Chen did it. This was his personal secret and Gouyu did not ask him.    

“Forget it, let's go.” Although Jiang Chen was a little surprised, he did not pay much attention to him.    

The group set off again, but had yet to travel for fifteen minutes when a wave of true qi pulses came from the front. The wave this time carried a force twice that of the previous wave.    

Seven or eight streams of light fused into a ball of bright fog and tore through the air.    

Holding on to their principle of not getting into trouble, Jiang Chen and his group gave up again, thinking that this group of people would also fly by quickly.    

However, they did not expect that seven or eight beams of light would suddenly stop.    

There were eight green wyverns grimacing and flexing their claws and baring their fangs, looking extremely ferocious. They made a terrifying face at the Goldwing Swordbirds, as if provoking them.    

This Wyvern-wyvern seemed to have a higher quality than the one that Tang Long was riding.    

“Eh? What are they riding?” A young man behind a wyvern asked as he looked at the Golden Winged Sword Bird that Jiang Chen's group was riding on.    

Jiang Chen, Gouyu, and the others glanced at each other, full of resignation. It seemed that anything they did not want to meet would come knocking on their door.    

There were a total of eight people in this group, and they were all wearing red robes with blue stripe embroidery on the outside.    

They were obviously people from the Azure Heaven Northern Palace, and people who were repeatedly reminded by Tang Long not to be taken lightly.    

Jiang Chen and his group did not put too much importance on themselves and relented whenever they saw someone, trying hard not to get involved in the matter. But when these eight people stopped, Jiang Chen knew that this might be unavoidable.    

“You all look foreign. Where are you from and where are you headed?” A tall, large, twenty-year-old young man in the group asked.    

This guy seems to be the leader of this crew. Judging from his style, he seemed to be accustomed to commanding everyone with others looking at him, and was used to interrogating others.    

"Capitaly." Jiang Chen replied with these two words.    

“It's okay. My senior brother asked where you came from.”    

Jiang Chen glanced at the crowd. “Is it important?”    

“What's with your bullshit? Answer when someone asks you a question!” Another large man with narrowed eyes shouted loudly.    

Gouyu's pretty face slightly flickered. His personality would not allow others to censure him to the fullest. Even if the Northern Blue Blue Palace were the ones they should not hurt, how could he be afraid of the fiery character he had developed over twenty years?    

He was about to explode when Jiang Chen waved his hand and stopped him.    

“Everything, we are all pedestrians walking past each other on the street. The great road leads to heaven and everyone walks by their side. Questions will delay the trip. Why don't we go here first?”    

Jiang Chen did not want to cause trouble, but he would not continue to humble himself due to this mindset or even give up on the core of being someone.    

“Eh? This group of idiots does not look like citizens of our Skylaurel Kingdom!”    

“Could they be spies from other countries? Judging from their mounts, our Skylaurel Kingdom has none. Who cares, let's arrest them and interrogate them carefully.”    

“I say, let's go after those two con men. The two people dared to forge the identity of the Dragon Tooth Guard and were extremely brave. The most damned thing is that they dare to deceive us from our two Yellow-Hairy heavenly Eagles.”    

Not everyone in the Azure Heaven Northern Palace liked to make trouble. This person argued that his business was more important than fighting with passers-by.
