"Stop!" After walking for a full 15 minutes, Fang Zhengzhi could not take it any longer.
"What's wrong? I am in a hurry to see my father and brother. Why are we stopping? "Princess Shan Yu frowned as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi in confusion.
"I think we should at least change our clothes." Fang Zhengzhi voiced his thoughts.
"Change our clothes? Why? "
"Your Highness, think about it. It is fine for us to continue walking like this. They will not dare to say anything when they see your identity. However, they will eventually stop, right? That will take up too much time. Furthermore, we will be too exposed. As such, we should change our clothes and hide our identity... "Fang Zhengzhi explained patiently.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense!" Princess Shan Yu nodded without waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to finish. Then, she scanned her surroundings with her jet-black eyes. Then, she dashed into a dark corner.
Fang Zhengzhi was confused.
There was no one there. Why would Princess Shan Yu go there? Could it be that he had abandoned her alone? How was he going to get out?
Just as he was thinking about it, Princess Shan Yu's voice rang out.
"You, you, take off your clothes!"
"Yes!"
After Princess Shan Yu's voice rang out, two more male voices rang out in unison. Not long after, Princess Shan Yu scurried out of the darkness again.
She was carrying two sets of heavy rattan armor.
"The clothes are here." Princess Shan Yu tossed a set of clothes to Fang Zhengzhi, a smug look on her face.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw this, he knew what was going on inside. However, it was precisely because he knew that he felt like he was treading on thin ice.
Royal city!
Damn it, as expected of the royal city of the Southern Region. Other than the patrolling soldiers, there were also sentries.
Danger lurked everywhere.
Hang on, if the location of the sentries had not changed, did that mean... that the royal city was still under the control of the Southern Region?
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes darted around. He was 70% sure that the royal city was still under the control of the Southern Region.
But...
If the royal city was really under the control of the Southern Region, why didn't the King and the Crown Prince take the opportunity to escape? If he could come in so brazenly, it shouldn't be difficult for the King of the Southern Region to leave, right?
There was a problem.
There must be a problem here!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was. The most important thing now was to change his clothes.
Fang Zhengzhi found a secluded spot and donned the thick rattan armor of the Royal City Army. He heaved a sigh of relief. With the cover of his clothes, he did not have to stare at each other like before.
What happened next was relatively easy and simple.
After changing into the rattan armor of the Royal City Army and with Princess Shan Yu leading the way, Fang Zhengzhi's "infiltration" of the Royal City went smoothly. Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a huge room.
It was a door inlaid with gold and gems. Countless gold and gems of various sizes formed a huge and luxurious picture.
Melodious drumming could be heard coming from inside the gate.
At the entrance stood six Royal City Guards in heavy rattan armor. Each of them was unusually tall and had skin as dark as ink.
As for the pattern on the door, it was the head of a beast.
In terms of shape, it was similar to a lion, but it had two huge wings and two horns on its head like that of a cow.
There were complex patterns on the horns.
Cloud patterns!
Fang Zhengzhi had seen these patterns many times. They were carved on different places. In The Vast World, he had seen them on the walls.
Then, he saw the same pattern on Wu Feng's jade flute.
Then, he saw it on Princess Shan Yu's body. Now, he saw it on the horns of the beast. Even though it was just a beast, it piqued Fang Zhengzhi's curiosity.
These cloud patterns...
What were they?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to ask Princess Shan Yu. After all, she had the same pattern on her body. However, at that moment, the drumming stopped.
Then, he heard the sound of tables and chairs collapsing. Moments later, an angry voice rang out from the door.
"Unfilial son, stop!"
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes twitched.
Unfilial son?
From the patterns on the door and the luxurious decorations, he was almost certain that the person behind the door was either the King or the Noblelite of the Southern Region.
As such, he could guess who this unfilial son was.
It looked like...
Something must have happened!
Fang Zhengzhi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Noblelite of the Southern Region was trying to rebel? There were too many such incidents in the history of his past life.
In order to gain power, they would collude with outsiders to usurp the throne.
Could it be that something like this was happening behind the door?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to go in and take a look, but he knew that he had to remain calm in the face of danger. That was why he didn't move immediately. He waited for the six guards to rush in upon hearing the sound of the commotion.
But in reality...
The six guards did not move. In fact, they did not even blink. It was as if they did not hear anything.
Something was not right?
If there was really a rebellion going on inside, shouldn't the Royal City Guards open the door to protect the King of the Southern Region?
Why did they not move?
Could it be...
These were the men of the Noblelite of the Southern Region!
Fang Zhengzhi quickly confirmed this because this was the only possibility. However, once he confirmed this possibility, he thought of another terrifying thing.
If even the door was guarded by the Noblelite of the Southern Region...
This rebellion was in the bag, wasn't it?
"Father!"
As the saying goes, what you fear will come true.
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was considering whether he should choose the King of the Southern Region as his backer, or choose the Noblelite of the Southern Region as his backer, Princess Shan Yu's voice rang out.
Following that, streaks of fiery red light rose from her body.
The expressions of the six guards changed. They all turned to look at Princess Shan Yu, their eyes filled with shock.
"Princess!"
"It's the Princess!"
"Greetings, Princess!"
Soon, the six soldiers looked at each other and whispered. However, none of them knelt down to pay their respects.
"Move aside!" Princess Shan Yu ordered.
"This..."
When the six soldiers heard Princess Shan Yu's words, their expressions changed. They stood rooted to the ground.
"Get out of the way!" Princess Shan Yu was slightly angry.
"Please forgive me, Crown Prince. He has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!" One of the soldiers replied respectfully after being reprimanded by Princess Shan Yu.
"Third brother is in there! This is father's palace. Why isn't Third Brother in his own palace discussing strategies with the few Settlement Chiefs? Why have you come to father's palace? "Princess Shan Yu frowned. It was obvious that she was extremely anxious.
"This... I don't know." The guards looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Of course, who else is in there besides third brother and father?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know? You're not going to tell me! Move aside, I want to go in now! "Princess Shan Yu's eyes glinted coldly as she looked at the soldiers who were shaking their heads.
"Please forgive me, Princess." The guards gritted their teeth.
"How dare you! I want to see which one of you dares to stop me from entering!" The moment Princess Shan Yu finished speaking, the red light on her body started to shine.
Fang Zhengzhi had seen Princess Shan Yu's anger before. In fact, he had even experienced it personally. The closest distance was so close that it was skin to skin.
However, this time...
He felt that something was different.
If Princess Shan Yu's anger came from losing control of her emotions in the past, then this time, it came from her authority.
It was an innate majesty of a king.
As the princess of the Southern Region, she could tolerate Fang Zhengzhi's provocation. However, she could not tolerate being disobeyed in the capital of the Southern Region.
The red light instantly enveloped Princess Shan Yu's entire body. Streaks of blood-like cloud patterns spread out from all over her body.
At the same time, a scorching aura radiated from Princess Shan Yu's body. It was an aura with a unique rhythm.
It was rhythmic.
It was like the beating of a heart.
Wild.
This was the only word that Fang Zhengzhi could use to describe his current feelings. Princess Shan Yu's jet-black eyes stared fixedly in front of her. Her long and slender legs were slightly bent, and her entire body was slightly leaning forward.
In addition, the fiery red light and the flowing cloud patterns all over his body.
It gave people the feeling of an enraged cheetah.
After seeing this scene, the six royal city soldiers turned pale, and the black spears in their hands trembled slightly.
He seemed to be experiencing some kind of intense psychological struggle.
"I will give you one last chance. Move aside!" Princess Shan Yu's voice rang out once again. However, compared to before, this time, her voice sounded as though it came from her chest.
Fang Zhengzhi remembered that during his battle with General Tai, General Tai's body had undergone a special transformation. This caused his voice to sound like a beast's.
Right now, Princess Shan Yu's body was undergoing the same transformation.
However...
Princess Shan Yu's body did not undergo the same transformation as General Tai's.
Was it because of the cloud patterns?
