Me and my fantasy world

Chapter 141: Capital Andressa

The capital, Andressa, was just as Lingyi had thought. From the outskirts, the entire city looked like it was built with walls similar to those from the Han and Tang dynasties. Facing Lingyi and the others was a huge wooden door. This was not a war period, so the door was open. There were only two or three teams of people checking passers-by at the door.

"Brother Xue, please wait here for a moment. I will go say hello to the brothers guarding the city." The second prince put his arm around Lingyi's shoulder and patted him on the shoulder like a good friend. Then, without waiting for Lingyi's reply, he ran towards the gate.

Ling Yiyi was a little dazed for a moment. Looking at the Second Prince who was doing everything himself, he was puzzled for a moment: "Why does this Second Prince do everything by himself? According to the normal process, shouldn't his subordinates contact the soldiers guarding the city to report such things?"

"Perhaps, this is the reason why this is a different world." Ryuji's laughter echoed in Lingyi's mind.

"Uh, it really is a universal answer..." Lingyi complained silently.

"Brother Xue, you know that when we were camping, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was with us every day. He didn't have the feeling of being superior like the royal family at all." A soldier next to Lingyi heard Lingyi's words and smiled at him.

"Having a good relationship with the soldiers is indeed a good thing, but when it comes to the prince, there is no need to be afraid..." Lingyi muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Hmm? Oh? Brother Xue actually knows about this as well?" the soldier asked again.

"I know a thing or two. After all, it's the royal family. The struggle in the world is indeed..." Lingyi did not hesitate to express his concerns.

But not only did the soldier not refute Lingyi, he also laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, brother Xue, you, hahahaha..."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Ling Yi was confused for a moment and looked at the soldier in confusion. Is he so happy to have told this story? Aren't they all his own masters?

"Hey, even if Brother Xue knows everything about astronomy and geography, there are still things you don't understand." The soldier laughed, "Brother Xue, who do you think sent the Second Prince to guard the border? The Emperor's? Or the First Prince's?"

"Then according to my thinking, it can only be the Emperor and the First Prince. Apart from the two of them, who else can let the Second Prince go to such a hellhole place. It is called training, but in fact it is just a transfer away from the court..." As Lingyi spoke, something seemed to be wrong. If the Second Prince was ostracized and exiled to the frontier, how could he get along so well with the soldiers?

But we cannot rule out the possibility that the Second Prince is trying to win people's hearts, but no matter how you look at it, the Second Prince does not seem to have any ambitions. In comparison, he is not as far-sighted as the royal family in terms of thinking. When getting along with others, they are particularly cordial and there is no sense of distance, just like brothers who have met by chance.

"Could it be that the Second Prince volunteered?" Lingyi couldn't help but guess.

"As expected of Brother Xue, you can even guess this." The soldier smiled and patted Lingyi on the shoulder.

"Is this true..." Lingyi was a little bit unbelievable. If this was true, then why did the Second Prince go to the border? The purpose should be to win people's hearts. If he still showed no ambition after such an operation, then the Second Prince must have been an Oscar winner in his previous life.

"Xiaoyi, it's okay, this is a different world, a different world, hahahaha." Even Long Er couldn't help laughing at this universal and hardcore explanation.

"The relationship between the Second Prince and the First Prince is not something we can measure. We had some concerns at first." The soldier continued to talk, "But the relationship between the First Prince and the Second Prince is not alienated. They can complement each other. It is truly a match made in heaven."

"Ah? Why do you say that?" Lingyi asked puzzledly.

"The personalities of the first and second princes are completely opposite." The soldier laughed. "You have also seen the second prince's way of doing things. He does not have any royal style. On the contrary, he is more like our good brother. But the first prince is different. He is meticulous and considerate. When the emperor was in good health before, he often asked for the first prince's opinion."

"In that case, shouldn't the two of them be more... confrontational?" Lingyi asked doubtfully.

"Hey, Brother Xue, why can't you make sense? Let me put it this way, the Second Prince's heart is not on the dragon throne!" The soldier laughed.

"Ah? This..." Lingyi looked towards the direction of the Second Prince in confusion. Seeing the Second Prince doing everything by himself, he turned back to look at the soldier and said, "The Second Prince's power over the world, could it be..."

"Yes, he doesn't care at all." The soldier laughed, "The Second Prince only wants to practice hard and become a powerful person of the generation, the successor of one of the Ten Venerables. He has no intention of competing for the government and power. On the contrary, His Royal Highness the First Prince is extremely interested, but he knows nothing about martial arts and the use of troops."

“And, there is also this matter…How can such a pair of royal brothers live in peace and complement each other?” Lingyi complained.

"It's hard to believe, right? It's the same for us. The former prince didn't escape by killing others. Although the royal family has blocked the news, any discerning person can see the relationship between the current eldest prince and the second prince. Not to mention you, even we and the people living in the capital can't believe it." The soldier introduced himself to Lingyi in a somewhat boastful manner.

"A few years ago, Andressa was not peaceful either. We were often harassed by neighboring countries, especially in the waters of the Yugoslav Union. Many fishing boats were attacked. But our Second Prince was just transferred to the border and he showed his strong fighting skills and ideas. He never lost a battle on land or sea, and was affectionately called the Border God of War by the Andressa people."

"On the other hand, after being canonized as the Crown Prince by the Emperor, His Royal Highness the First Prince has always been frugal and considerate of the people. He also has the Second Prince, the Border God of War, to help him. Both princes are shining in their respective fields, which is a blessing for Andressa."

Listening to the soldier's introduction, Lingyi was also half-believing and half-doubting. After all, the endings of so many royal children throughout history were right before his eyes. He nodded in front of the soldier, but gradually began to be a little wary of the second prince.

'It's okay, Xiaoyi, this is a different world, some things are really...hahahaha, no no, this explanation is too blunt, hahahaha.'

"You know that too... Hey."

"Eh? What are you guys talking about? Let's go, we've already said hello."

"Ah? Nothing, nothing. Let's go."

……

After entering Andressa, the overall look was exactly the same as Lingyi had imagined. The architectural style was similar to that of the Han and Tang dynasties. Walking on this stone road, the clattering sounds of stomping feet made Lingyi feel like he had really traveled through time.

The road was wide enough for four or five carriages to run side by side. As soon as we entered Andressa, two groups of people came running from a distance. There were so many people that we couldn't count them at once, but at first glance, there were at least a hundred people. They stood in a row on each side, forming two human walls to separate the ordinary people.

Lingyi was no longer surprised by this scene. After all, the Second Prince was a member of the royal family, so this security measure was still necessary. However, what Lingyi could not have expected was what happened next.

The second prince dismounted his horse first, walked in front, and entered on foot with all the soldiers.

"Second prince!"

"Your Highness the Second Prince!"

"Your Highness! Welcome back!"

Several women screamed in the street, which made Lingyi stunned for a moment: "What's going on? Young women in ancient times would never scream like that. Shouldn't they be more conservative?" Lingyi thought silently, and then looked at the position of the second prince.

The second prince was also generous and raised his hand to greet the people: "Good morning, everyone. Have you eaten? Is the food good? Are you comfortable living here? Everything should go smoothly, you know."

Lingyi was shocked by the words of the Second Prince again. He had seen royal family members who were close to the people, but he did not expect that the Second Prince would have no sense of distance at all. He would even ask the common people not "whether they have eaten enough" but "whether they have eaten well". This...

"Brother Xue? Brother Xue, you're welcome, come here." The Second Prince said, and suddenly grabbed Lingyi's shoulder and pulled Lingyi to his side. However, the moment the Second Prince pulled Lingyi over, the cheers disappeared almost instantly.

Everyone's eyes were wide open. The men were wondering who this person was that could make the Second Prince so close to him, while the women were all infatuated, staring at Lingyi's beautiful face in fascination.

"Let me introduce my brother to everyone. He is the great hero of Nord Town and also the great hero of Andressa. He is the one who defeated the Goblin King single-handedly and successfully made a contract with the King of Exotic Beasts! He is! Xueyan!" The second prince shouted to everyone with extreme excitement.

After the Second Prince's shout, Lingyi lowered his head, his face flushed, and he cursed the Second Prince in his heart for being too ostentatious. Now he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Following the Second Prince's shout, there followed overwhelming shouts. The shouts were so loud that they were enough to overturn the city. Even the Second Prince could not bear it and he covered his ears.

"Hero! Xueyan! Hero! Xueyan!" The shouts of the people were like waves, one after another, constantly hitting Lingyi's ears.

"No way, so enthusiastic..." Lingyi didn't know what to do for a moment when he saw this scene. He was as confused as a six or seven-year-old child.

"Ah? What did you say?" The second prince seemed to have heard Lingyi mumbling to himself, but the noise of the people was too loud, and even if he stood next to Lingyi, he could not hear all of Lingyi's words.

"Nothing, nothing!" Lingyi almost shouted to the Second Prince, and the Second Prince nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, the second prince pointed to the end of the road and said, "Come on, Brother Xue, let's go to the palace together!"

"Ah? Entering the palace..." Following the line of sight all the way inside, one can see a huge palace with a bright red outer wall. The houses inside cannot be seen. Only the black roof tiles and a pair of dragon-shaped reliefs on the eaves can be seen. "Is this, the Forbidden City?" Lingyi couldn't help but said while looking at the palace.

"Hmm? No, that's our palace, and my eldest brother is waiting for us there." The second prince said with a smile, "Well, although I don't like the court, it's enough to see my eldest brother, just don't do it like usual."

"Same as usual?" Lingyi repeated doubtfully.

"It's okay. I brought Brother Xue here today. With his intelligence and wisdom, he will definitely be able to resolve the problem." The Second Prince raised his thumb confidently. His hearty smile and the reflection of his snow-white teeth made Lingyi feel a chill down his spine.

"I always feel... a bad premonition." Lingyi couldn't help but complain, but he could do nothing about a person like the Second Prince, so he could only shake his head.

Although he didn't think the Second Prince would have the intention to set a trap for Zero One here, Zero One still asked Pegasus to be prepared just in case and to be teleported at any time in case of crisis.

"By the way, what about Leo?" Lingyi looked up and asked the second prince again, which also made Alice nervous. Alice had been listening to the conversation between Lingyi and the second prince, but only this matter made Alice extremely concerned.

"Leo, I want to bring him into the palace and let the palace doctors diagnose him. What do you think, Brother Xue?" The second prince still respected Lingyi's own ideas.

"Really..." Zero One originally wanted to refuse. After all, if they stayed in a royal palace and something happened, Alice and Leo would be trapped in the palace and it would be difficult for him to just give it a try. However, the royal physicians were the strongest medical team in Andressa. Even though they might not understand modern medicine, to be honest, they might not be as good as them in terms of knowledge about the magical world.
