The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him. Ever since he heard the news, his nerves had been on edge. Zhao Hai was really afraid that he would break down at any moment.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh. He looked enviously at the people on both sides of the river. Zhao Hai actually wanted to live that kind of life the most, but that kind of life was getting further and further away from him.
At this time, the peach Garden arrived outside a big city. However, Zhao Hai had no intention of stopping. He wanted to cross the river directly. He knew that after crossing the city, paradise would be able to enter the sea in about two days.
However, to Zhao Hai’s surprise, an iron lock appeared in the river in front of him. This iron lock was obviously blocking paradise.
Zhao Hai was taken aback, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he ordered the undead creatures to stop the ship. He walked to the bow and looked at the two sides of the lock.
The two sides of the metal chain were connected to two five-masted ironclad warships. The badges on these two warships were golden, with a heavily armored warrior on it.
Zhao Hai recognized this badge. It was the badge of the Budur Empire’s royal family. The thing blocking the river was the Navy of the Budur Empire!
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand what the other party meant. However, he wasn’t in a hurry. He knew that the other party would definitely come to find him if he stopped him.
Sure enough, as soon as paradise stopped, the figures on the two ships moved. A few people wearing armor and magic robes appeared on the ship, and then a voice said, ” “Is that the flagship of Zhao haidabu, the head of the Buda family?”
Zhao Hai looked at the two ships and said in a deep voice, ” “Yes, I am Zhao Hai. I wonder why you are stopping me?”
The voice continued, ” I am Lieutenant General Timur of the Budur Empire’s Navy. Greetings, Mr. Zhao Hai. His Majesty would like to meet you in the imperial capital. Please take your leave. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he frowned. He did not want to go, but he knew that if he did not go, it would be a disgrace to the Budur Empire. It would be equivalent to making an enemy of the Budur Empire. After thinking for a while, Zhao Hai nodded and said,”Alright, please lead the way, general. I’ll be there shortly.”
“Alright, I’ll open the way for you, Sir,” Timur’s voice was heard. After saying that, the iron chain clanked and slowly retracted. Then, a boat turned around and drove away in front of Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai drove paradise and followed behind.
They were not too far away from the capital of the stupa Empire, steel cavalry city. As long as they walked along a Branch River from the iron Mountain Horse, they would be able to reach steel cavalry city in less than a day.
There was a reason for the construction of the steel cavalry. When the first king of the Budur Empire was fighting against the world, his Mount, the mutated steel cavalry, was the current position of the soldiers in steel cavalry city. In order to commemorate his Mount, the old king built a new city there and settled the capital there. His Mount was made into a statue, which was forever erected in the largest square of steel cavalry city.
Steel cavalry city was close to the flowing flower river bank, the largest branch of the steel Horse River. The city’s land and water traffic was very good. There were twelve docks on the flowing flower river bank. The first dock could hold at least a hundred ships, all of which were five-masted ships. There were many small docks on the flowing flower river bank, and many ships could be docked at these docks. It could be said that steel cavalry city was the largest material transfer station on the flowing flower River.
Zhao Hai stood on the peach Garden and looked at the approaching steel cavalry city with a bitter smile. The stupa Empire was really giving him face. There was a five-masted warship in front and another five-masted warship behind Peach Garden. They had trapped Peach Garden in the middle. Even if Zhao Hai wanted to escape, he had no way to do so.
However, Zhao Hai did not mind. The Luo sen Empire was the strongest country on the continent, and he was the Prince Consort of the Luo sen Empire. He was also the head of the BU da family. He believed that the king of the fu tu Empire would not dare to do anything to him.
The three ships slowly stopped at the dock, and the undead creatures put down the gangplank. The people from Zhao Hai’s ship got off, and five people got off the two ships from the stupa Empire. Three of them were Warriors in armor, and the other two were mages.
The moment the five of them got off the boat, they quickly walked towards Zhao Hai. When they were five steps away from Zhao Hai, the brawny man at the front bowed to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Timur greets Zhao Hai, patriarch.”
Zhao Hai looked at Timur. This guy was definitely over two meters tall and was wearing a suit of silver-white armor. The armor was actually made of iron and looked very heavy. Zhao Hai was puzzled. This guy was a Vice-Admiral of the Navy. If he were to fall into the water with such a thick armor, wouldn’t he sink to the bottom?
However, Zhao Hai still smiled and bowed to Timur, ” “Greetings, general Timur. I’ve troubled you to personally invite Zhao Hai over. This is a capital crime.”
Timur hurriedly replied, ” I wouldn’t dare. His Majesty has decreed that we must invite the family head. Timur’s heart is in a state of panic. If there was any rudeness on the river, the family must forgive us. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled, ” I wouldn’t dare. General Timur didn’t do anything wrong. There’s no need to forgive. Please forgive me. My wife is currently cultivating on the ship and can’t come with me to visit His Majesty. Please forgive me. &Quot;
Timur hurriedly replied, ” there’s no need for the family to be so polite. Since your wife is currently resting, she can not be disturbed. Please rest assured, family head. I will pass down instructions to not let anyone board the ship to disturb her. &Quot;
Zhao Hai gratefully dodged Timur and said, ” &Quot; thank you very much, general. Please, we can’t let her Majesty wait for too long. &Quot;
Timur smiled. &Quot; that’s perfect. Please, family head. &Quot; Then, he led Zhao Hai out of the pier. The pier was obviously reserved for the nobles, so it was very clean and there were not many people around.
As soon as Zhao Hai and the others stepped out of the dock, a carriage stopped beside them. The carriage was very Grand and had the Royal emblem on it.
Zhao Hai knew that not just anyone could sit in such a carriage. Those who could sit in such a carriage were at least princes.
As expected, Timur smiled and said to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; Sir, this is His Majesty’s carriage. His Majesty actually sent his own carriage to pick you up. It seems that he has been waiting anxiously. Please get on the carriage. &Quot;
Zhao Hai thanked him and got on the carriage. Timur followed him. The interior of the carriage was extremely luxurious. The seats were all covered with thick animal skin, making them soft and comfortable. The temperature in the carriage was just right, but it did not feel stuffy at all. There was not even the slightest vibration. It seemed that this carriage was not as simple as it seemed.
This carriage also had a small table similar to Zhao Hai’s carriage, with ingredients for cooking Keya placed on it. After Timur got on the carriage, he immediately sat down opposite Zhao Hai and took out Keya from under the table, preparing to cook for Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but find it a little funny when he saw Timur’s thick hands holding a small silver kaya pot. However, Timur’s movements were very fast, and a small pot of kaya was soon ready.
The taste of this “ke ya” was extremely rich, and it was much better than the “ke ya” that Zhao Hai usually drank. Tiemu’s poured a cup of “ke ya” for Zhao Hai, before smiling and saying,”Thanks to you, I’m able to taste this golden Coya today. This is a good item that can’t be bought on the continent even if you have money.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” it’s my first time drinking this kind of cocoa. The taste is really good. General, can I ask why his Majesty wants to see me? ”
Timur smiled and said, ” I really don’t know about this. However, looking at His Majesty’s expression, he seems to be very happy. Sir’s great words have long spread throughout the continent. Now that you have arrived at the stupa Empire, how can His Majesty not see you? ”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” it’s just an undeserved reputation. It’s nothing much. I didn’t expect that my visit to the stupa Empire would disturb His Majesty. I’m really sorry. &Quot;
Timur smiled and said, ” the Buda family is also a large family on the continent. The family head Zhao Hai has personally come to the Budur Empire. If your Majesty does not meet him, it would be too rude. Moreover, our Budur Empire has many businesses that we can cooperate with you on in the future. How can Your Majesty not meet you? ”
