Chu Mo thought to himself: It's not coincidental, Nayi must have heard about me making an appearance in Great Xia, and guessed that I would come back here, so she directly came over!
"Young master?" Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo with great interest, that expression made Chu Mo feel the urge to punch him.
"Should we step aside?" Wang Dafa asked with a grin, his eyes full of curiosity.
The legends between Chu Mo and the Queen of the Prairie were indeed very captivating.
The stories between the then unnoticed King of Chu and the downcast princess of the royal court had spread widely in many versions.
In some taverns and tea houses, there were even professional storytellers who made a living by telling these stories.
Before Chu Mo could reply, two horses broke through towards them.
Although they were moving quickly, they didn't recklessly charge. From afar, they shouted loudly, "The Queen of the Prairie is passing by, all passersby must quickly disperse. To obstruct the Queen's entourage is a great disrespect!"
The two knights leading the way were all from Chu Kingdom; in terms of etiquette, Chu Yan had always been very meticulous.
Chu Mo smiled, and he and Wang Dafa stepped aside like other pedestrians.
After that, a large group of people and horses charged towards them.
Chu Mo caught a glimpse and chuckled, "Being a queen really is different, this lineup... is indeed not small."
At this moment, Chu Mo was thinking of the beautiful and stubborn girl he had met on the Prairie.
Wang Dafa smiled and said, "Indeed, even if she didn't want to, she would have no choice. After all, when the Queen goes out, it represents the image of the whole royal court. In my view, this is already a streamlined team. Otherwise, there would be more people."
"This is also why generations of Kings seldom leave the Capital, isn't it? Going out is a great expense and can cause grievances among the people. If the national power is well-off, it is okay. But if the national power is average, the Emperor's trip might cause grievances." Chu Mo sighed.
Wang Dafa looked at Chu Mo somewhat surprisingly and said with admiration, "The young master's perspective is truly unique and different from ours."
"All right, there's no need to flatter me, is there?" Chu Mo said with a smile.
Wang Dafa's face was thicker than in previous years, he laughed and said, "These are my genuine thoughts!"
From beginning to end, Wang Dafa didn't call himself "subject", nor did he call Chu Mo "King". That little trick, Chu Mo knew very well. He knew that Wang Dafa was expressing his loyalty and goodwill in this way, while also sending a signal to the outside world: I was with the King of Chu even when he was not a king! I, Wang Dafa, am also his follower since the time of the Dragon!
Chu Mo didn't mind such actions; if Wang Dafa didn't act in such a way, it would make Chu Mo wary.
A long procession passed by Chu Mo. He watched silently with a faint smile on his face, revealing nothing of what he was thinking.
However, as the long procession was about to pass by Chu Mo and Wang Dafa, the curtain of the carriage symbolizing the Queen of the Prairie was suddenly lifted to reveal a veiled face, behind which was a glimpse of fair skin and delicate features.
Nayi herself didn't know why she chose this moment to open the carriage curtain. She simply felt stuffy and wanted to get some fresh air.
But she forgot that she had come to the Royal City of Great Chu at least ten times, but there was never a time when she felt as nervous and uneasy as this time...
The moment she lifted the curtain, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had seen the most incredible sight in the world.
"Stop the carriage!" Nayi blurted out.
Although the command was sudden, the well-trained royal court knights stopped the two luxurious carriages where Nayi was sitting at once.
The carriages behind also managed to avoid a collision!
The atmosphere in the entire vacant street instantly became tense.
No one knew what had happened.
Someone from the royal court outside the carriage asked, "Your Majesty…what happened?"
There was no response!
Inside the carriage, Nayi was stunned. One of her jade-like hands held the carriage curtain, and she stared blankly at the handsome young man on the street side.
One drop of tear, then two... They dripped down her cheeks, yet she felt completely oblivious.
Gradually, the gazes of many people began to focus on Chu Mo.
After all, Her Majesty the Queen had her eyes on the young man; the bystanders couldn't help but notice.
This made Tengfengge uncomfortable; he was known as the bravest knight in the Prairie court!
He was knighted by Queen Nayi herself.
Tengfengge was born in the Prairie. At the age of five or six, he was taken away and trained in a specific martial art sect. Only a year ago, at the age of twenty-one, he finally returned home after mastering his skills, having entered the Understanding Heart Realm of Heart Refining stage!
At this age and stage, not to mention in the Prairie, even in the powerful empire of Great Xia, he was absolutely considered a top-notch genius!
It might take several years to see the appearance of such a genius.
Tengfengge wasn't just any knight. His ancestors were royal knights. His greatest childhood dream was to become a genuine royal knight, and if possible, the strongest warrior in the entire Prairie court!
He had the talent, the lineage, and the willingness to fight for his goal. His training in the sect benefited from three separate strokes of fortune.
And so, a miracle was created in the cultivation realm—a twenty-one-year-old Understanding Heart Realm master!
After returning to the Prairie court, Tengfengge's illustrious origins and formidable strength quickly made him a new icon on the Prairie.
But what upset him was that in the eyes of the Prairie people, there was a hero held in higher esteem than him—Lin Bai!
A Han person!
This made Tengfengge feel humiliated. He had publicly stated to those around him more than once: If I could have returned two years earlier, the one to turn the tide would have been me, Lin Bai would have had nothing to do with it!
However, he dared not say this to Nayi because he knew that in Nayi's heart, Lin Bai occupied an all-encompassing position!
Tengfengge was jealous, feeling aggrieved. In his mind, the most beautiful maiden in the Prairie naturally belonged to the most brilliant genius like him.
What made a Han person worthy of stealing Nayi's heart?
Since becoming Nayi's royal knight, Tengfengge has been expressing his love for Nayi either openly or subtly, but alas, it was always in vain and he never received any response.
Lately, Nayi allied with the Chu Kingdom, and as the head of the royal court she often visited the Chu Kingdom…this provided Tengfengge with some insight, presuming Lin Bai is likely the King of Chu.
However, upon seeing the "King of Chu," he abandoned that hypothesis.
Because he could tell at first glance that this "King of Chu"… is a woman…
Therefore, Tengfengge did not give up, he believed that one day, Her Majesty the Queen would be moved by him. She would truly understand his feelings and accept him.
However, at this very moment, when Tengfengge saw that young man, his heart suddenly turned cold. (To be continued. If you like this work, please feel free to vote for it at qidian.com; your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users can read at m.qidian.com.)
