Chapter 962 Tianfeng City

In the Song Dynasty, there were mostly waterways, and boats became the main means of transportation.

Zhou Ran and Song Yu also took a boat to the capital of Song Dynasty.

The treasure ship became smaller, so the two took another ship. Although it was not a treasure ship, this ship was also gorgeously decorated and full of luxury.

After all, he was the champion of Jingguo. Song Yu was very polite to Zhou Ran and waited on him all the way.

None of the attendants brought by Song Yu knew Zhou Ran's identity, and they were all a little surprised to see Song Yu being so polite to Zhou Ran.

But even so, the attendants did not dare to neglect Zhou Ran.

The big ship headed for the capital along the waterway.

It was a long way to the capital, and three days passed unknowingly. When Zhou Ran and Song Yu were bored on the boat, they would chat about the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Ran also asked about the relationship between Song Yu and the king, but Song Yu was hesitant and vague. He only said that he was a noble of the Song Dynasty and was favored by the king by chance.

This question seemed to touch on Song Yu's hidden secrets, so Zhou Ran stopped asking. From then on, Zhou Ran only asked lighter questions.

A few days later, the big ship finally arrived at Tianfeng City, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty had enjoyed peace for decades, and its capital was naturally much more prosperous than those countries at war.

The entire Tianfeng City has developed waterways just like Sishui City, and large ships can even sail into the royal city of Tianfeng City.

In other words, the big ship arrived directly in front of the palace, and only then did Zhou Ran and Song Yu get off the ship.

After disembarking from the ship, the king had already sent people to greet Song Yu. Among the nobles of the Song Dynasty, Song Yu was the most courteous. There were dozens of maids, plus the attendants that Song Yu had brought before, and there were hundreds of them. , came to the palace of the Song Dynasty in a mighty manner.

The king of the country, Song Gong, had already been waiting in the main hall. Like Song Yu, the king of the country was handsome and handsome.

Seeing Song Yu and Zhou Ran going to the palace, Song Gong was a little flustered and said, "Song Yu, I asked you to go to Sishui City to supervise the water conservancy project. Why did you come back so soon? Where is the treasure ship you were on?"

Song Yu saluted the king and said: "Your Majesty, when I went to Sishui City, I was ambushed by the Black Man. Fortunately, this friend came to my rescue. I escaped unscathed and the treasure ship was saved."

Hearing that the treasure ship was safe, Song Gong breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the treasure ship is safe, Song Yu, you were too careless."

Song Yu pointed at Zhou Ran and said, "The treasure ship is in the hands of this friend."

"In the hands of others?" Song Gong was shocked, his eyes full of complaints, "Song Yu, you know the treasure ship is important, how can you let others keep it?"

Song Yu looked helpless.

Song Gong saw Song Yu's difficulties and looked at Zhou Ran: "Friend, thank you for helping Song Yu. However, I gave the treasure ship to Song Yu. Please return it. I don't know where you docked the treasure ship. I’ll have it retrieved right now.”

Zhou Ran smiled slightly and looked at the ministers around him.

"Lord of the Song Kingdom, is it really okay to speak here?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of Song State suddenly exploded.

"Where did this madman come from? How dare you talk to the Lord of the Kingdom like this!"

"Don't try to seize the treasure ship just because you saved people. You don't have the qualifications!"

"This is the palace of the King of Song Dynasty, it's not your turn to talk nonsense!"

The ministers criticized him one after another, leaving Song Yu at a loss.

When he came to the main hall, he was focused on how to explain the whereabouts of the treasure ship, but he didn't have time to reveal Zhou Ran's identity.

Zhou Ran didn't care, he took out the credentials of the King of Jing Kingdom from the Qiankun Ring.

"I am the champion of Jingguo,

Come to the Song Dynasty to pay homage to the leader of the Song Dynasty! "

All the ministers looked at Zhou Ran with wide eyes.

This madman who ignored the officials was actually the champion of Jingguo, the famous champion who single-handedly resisted the Qingguo army.

Such a big shot actually came to the Song Dynasty in person to deliver his credentials.

"I'm rude!"

Song Gong quickly stood up, came to Zhou Ran, and then took the credentials from Zhou Ran's hand.

The credential is stamped with Jingguo's seal and is a genuine credential.

Song Gong took a cursory glance at the credentials, and an expression of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

"I actually came here for this matter!"

Song Gong looked Zhou Ran up and down. It took a long time before his mood calmed down a little.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should talk alone."

"Yes, yes! Let's talk alone!" Song Gong nodded repeatedly and said to the ministers present, "I have something important to tell the champion, you guys wait here!"

With that said, Song Gong took Zhou Ran and left the hall.

The officials were surprised, and even Song Yu was confused.

The king of the country actually met Zhou Ran alone, and he couldn't even be there to serve him. What was the reason for this important matter?

Song Gong took Zhou Ran to the royal garden of the palace.

Tianfeng City was built on the water, and the imperial garden of the Song Dynasty Palace was naturally different from other imperial gardens.

As far as Zhou Ran could see, there was actually a large lake, and the flowers and plants in the imperial garden were all aquatic plants.

"No one is allowed to follow!"

Song Gong gave orders to the left and right, and all the maids and attendants withdrew, leaving only Zhou Ran to accompany Song Gong.

When we came to the edge of the lake, a spiritual boat came.

The spirit boat was unmanned and could be controlled by spiritual power. Song Gong and Zhou Ran got on the boat, and the spirit boat headed towards the center of the lake.

There was no one around, and Song Gong finally spoke: "Prince Champion, only the king knows about the Xiuluo Pillar. Among the twelve kingdoms in the inner domain, there are also some kings who don't know about it. The king of Jing Kingdom can actually Telling you such an important thing shows that you are a trustworthy person.”

Zhou Ran smiled and said nothing, just listening silently.

Seeing that Zhou Ran was silent, Song Gong said no more.

The spirit boat finally reached the center of the lake, and then a whirlpool suddenly appeared at the bottom of the boat.

Following this whirlpool, the spirit boat carrying Song Gong and Zhou Ran sank into the lake.

Although they were in the water, the spirit boat had its own barrier, so Song Gong and Zhou Ran could breathe freely.

The spiritual energy in the lake is denser than on the lake, and the spiritual energy in the lake is only consistent with the spiritual energy of the spiritual ship.

In other words, if the spiritual boat had not sunk into the lake, the lake would have created stormy waves.

The closer we got to the bottom of the lake, the more suffocating the spiritual energy became. Four behemoths swam toward the spiritual ship, and they turned out to be four water dragons.

Each water dragon is exceptionally powerful and has reached the realm of harmony.

With such a level of water dragon guarding, it would be impossible to steal anything from the bottom of the lake.

Song Gong added: "These four water dragons have been guarding here for many years. Even if Shimen covets the things at the bottom of the lake, they will not be able to succeed. It is very safe here and the Shura Pillar will not be tampered with."

As he spoke, the leader of the Song Kingdom seemed particularly confident. .

The spirit boat finally reached the bottom of the lake. Suddenly a hole opened at the bottom of the lake, and the spirit boat got into the hole.

There was no water in the cave, but an open space.
