Aztec Eternals

Chapter 424: audience in the capital

A long, moist wind blew from the mountains in the east, blowing over the people on the boat. The aroma of fresh herbs smells on the nose, making people feel refreshed.

On the galley warship, everyone was silent, watching the answer from the old and the young. Shulot thought for a moment, lowered his head, sincerely, and saluted Kakamazin again.

"Blessed by the Lord! Uncle Kakamazin, everything follows your arrangement!"

"Haha, very good! Lord God bless!"

Kakamazin laughed heartily, with admiration in his laughter. Afterwards, he took Shulot's hand and started chatting some household gossip, and from time to time he asked about the situation in the kingdom.

Shulot answered frankly, telling about the experience of the South and the North War, and also about the feelings of the kingdom's governance. The two have their own concerns, but they are sincere and unusual, and they chat and laugh happily.

The two fleets immediately converged, and they headed for the magnificent capital city in the lake. From here to the capital, only the last more than 60 miles of waterway are left, which can be reached by boat in a day or two.

At the end of July, the wind and rain also became fast. The pattering summer rain fell from the hazy sky, pounding on Lake Texcoco, and rising up the same hazy vapor. When everyone was rowing on the lake, they walked through the mist and rain, surrounded by wonderland-like wonders.

Shilot stood on the bow, staring at the heart of the alliance, the most prosperous place in the world. The villages and towns are vague, flashing from both sides, and the singing of prayers can be heard; the boats and merchants have avoided and separated on the lake, and there are bursts of exclamations.

"The capital city in the lake is right in front of you."

Kakamazin stood beside him, looking at the capital city shrouded in smoke. As the fleet traveled, large swathes of chinampa spread across the lake, and the white long embankment was looming.

"Shirot, the capital city in the lake, is a great royal city built by our Mexicans, and it is also the root source of all our divinities!"

Kakamazin smiled, but his words were meaningful.

"The king of Mexica belongs to the great city of the lake. And the great city of the lake belongs to the Mexica people who are blessed by our gods. In the hearts of all Mexicaans, Tenochtitlan is not just a city A royal city that will never fall is a symbol of holiness and divine protection... No matter where you are and how tall a divine tree grows, this place will be your root!"

Hearing this, Xiulote pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Uncle Kakamazin, I understand what you mean. The kingdom is the feudal state of the Alliance. I am first the Highness of the Mexicans, and then the King of the Prepechas."

"Ha ha!"

Kakamazin laughed heartily again. He reached out and patted his grandnephew on the shoulder.

"Shirot, you are the Highness of the Alliance, and the future king of the Mexicans! For the old guys in the royal family, the elders are the sun in the evening, Avit is the sun at noon, and you are the sun at noon. The sun in the morning!...Don't worry, don't be crooked. Under the protection of the Lord God, the alliance is getting stronger and stronger. The **** tree is growing strong and destined to control the world. But ah, everything will take some time... Well, I really hope, I can See that day with your own eyes!"

"Uncle!..."

Hearing these words, Shulot lowered his eyes slightly, feeling a little moved. He didn't know what to say, just chewed on Kakamazin's words.

"Don't worry, don't crook..."

Kakamazin smiled and nodded. He stretched out his hand and pointed into the mist of light smoke. The prosperous capital city in the lake is already in sight, and the towering great temple stands high, like a sacred mountain in the world.

"Look! The lofty great temple, in the smoke! Walk slowly, it will be there soon!"

As is customary, the huge fleet stopped at the village north of the capital, and the king's leading messenger had been waiting for a long time. It took three thousand imperial guards half a day to reach the shore of the lake. Then came boxes of neat dowry, and heavy bronze cannons.

Kakamazin was in high spirits, watching these "strange copper beasts" that he had heard of for a long time, and asked some questions from time to time. Then, he commented with a smile.

"Shirot, in order to marry Alyssa, you really put your heart into it! With so many precious gifts, even an old guy like me is a little surprised! ... As for the gifts, let them organize them slowly. Anyway, they have arrived. Here, don't even think about taking it back! Haha, we have to enter the capital first. You go to see King Avet, me, go and report back to the elder."

"Okay! Uncle, let's go!"

Sherlot nodded in agreement. He deliberately asked about the elder's condition, but after thinking for a while, he didn't speak. The three thousand imperial guards were then divided into two waves, and most of the warriors stopped in the village on the spot. Only five hundred personal guards guarded Shulot, holding the banner of the black wolf, along the white long embankment full of pines and cypresses, heading for the city.

After the west expedition, it has been four years since Shilot left the capital. As he walked steadily, he surveyed the surrounding scenery.

The prosperous city in the lake is even more prosperous than before. The main roads in the city have been renovated to allow the passage of large groups of samurai. There are also complete toilets and drains built beside the streets to keep the city clean.

The method of composting manure has been popularized in the Texcoco Lake District. After the demonstration of the priests, it can effectively increase the output of Chinampa. There are 250,000 people in the capital city in the middle of the lake, and the daily output of fertilizer is extremely large. The toilets in the streets are owned by different nobles. The fertilizers produced will be transported by boats on the same day to the nobles' chinampa, where they will be piled up and applied to the fields.

On both sides of the street, there are also pine and cypresses, especially the Avivit trees. King Avit liked the name of the tree and the fragrance of the tree.

Seirot led his bodyguards and walked among the fragrant tree-lined avenues.

The civilians who came and went avoided all the way, not daring to look directly at the figure of His Royal Highness. The nobles of the capital bowed and saluted, sincerely praising His Highness who came from afar. Exclamations and praises sounded constantly, accompanied by low-pitched discussions, and soon spread the entire capital like the buzzing of a bee colony.

Shulot went through the North City, past the edge of the Great Market in Tlatelolco. He looked at the well-ordered market scene, nodded slightly, and felt relieved. Soon, everyone walked through the long canal between the northern city and the main city, and entered the more splendid main city.

In the main city, the wealth of the whole world is gathered. As far as the eye can see, white stone buildings and red rock roofs can be seen everywhere. Even in the civilian areas, you can see many large mansions, ornately decorated with gold and silver. In the aristocratic area, flowers are planted all over the place, and the fragrance is everywhere, and there are teenagers and girls playing in it.

Shirott walked all the way, reading the grand scene of the capital. Many memories came to my mind, and they brought the insights after ruling the kingdom. In his opinion at this time, the prosperous scenery of the capital city in the lake is indeed rare in the world, and the capital of Qin Congcan is also incomparable.

"Tenochtitlan is in the middle of the world, with a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people. The dykes of Lake Texcoco are divided, and 8,000 hectares of fertile water gardens have been established. There are hundreds of villages along the lake, and there are 150 It took 100,000 people to work hard to support such a prosperous capital!" Gu

The king is thinking. Tenochtitlan can be so prosperous, the first is the long **** to control the water, bringing half of Lake Texcoco into control. On this basis, the second is the high-yield Chinampa floating field. After that, the third is the convenient water transportation of the capital city in the lake. The fourth is the stability and prosperity of the heart of the entire alliance.

"These factors can actually be replicated in Qincongcan City... I have to ask Avit from a group of master craftsmen who are good at water management, and bring a group of old farmers who are familiar with Qinampa. When I return to the kingdom, I will start governance. Lake Patzcuaro..."

The crowd continued south, and soon came to the temple and palace area. The 60- to 70-meter-high Great Temple casts a majestic shadow. Countless prayers, accompanied by bursts of rosin, fluttered between the temple and the altar.

When they came to the temple and palace area, the messengers who led the way changed another batch. The five hundred kingdom guards stopped outside the temple area, and in front of them was the residence of the gods and priests. Except for grand festival celebrations and worshippers led by priests, this place is usually not open to commoners. From here, only a few will be able to move on.

Kakamazin stopped. He smiled and patted Shulot on the shoulder and said gently.

"Blessed by the Lord God, the journey is smooth! Xiulott, we will part here! There are many things to be busy with the wedding, and we will meet again in a few days!"

"God bless! Uncle, take care of you all the way!"

Shilot lowered his head and saluted Kakamazin, and the two parted immediately.

Kakamazin slowly headed eastwards, under the **** of several entourages, to the chief palace where the elder was. And Shilot turned southwest and went to King Avit's palace.

In the temple area, it is solemn, and there are royal warriors and temple guards patrolling everywhere. Shilot raised his head and looked at the towering Great Temple from a distance.

In front of the Great Temple a roaring flame was lit. At this moment, grandfather should be busy there, right? After seeing the king, go to see the grandfather. And my father should be in a noble house further out, and I won't be able to see him until tomorrow.

Near nostalgia is more timid. Inexplicable thoughts came to my mind, making people a little confused.

Shulot walked along the avenue and watched the King's Palace appear in his sight. He thought of the girl in white and licked his dry lips.

"After fighting on the battlefield, countless moments of life and death, I still feel nervous..."

Standing in front of the king's palace, Shilot laughed at himself. He untied the bronze sword from his waist and walked into the vast palace under the guidance of the guards.

There are many Avivit trees planted in the palace, as well as large swathes of roses and different fragrant flowers. Sherlot walked on the stone path of flowers and trees. Soon, the three-storey King's Hall appeared in front.

"YoYo!"

A loud eagle cry suddenly sounded above Shiloh's head! Then, a ferocious wind came, blowing his hair up, making him jump.

Shirot subconsciously took two steps back and looked up. A fat golden eagle danced with its wings and claws, and descended from the sky. Little Avellot chirped cheerfully, and suddenly threw himself into his arms, causing him to stagger under his feet, almost unsteady.

"...Little Avellot, why did you suddenly appear again!"

Shulot was speechless for a moment, stretched out his hand, and flicked the head of the little golden eagle heavily. Who knows, little Avellot seems to have a lot of experience in dodging. As soon as his little head is closed, he will naturally dodge. Then, it raised its head proudly and chirped loudly.

"YoYo!..."

"boom!"

Shilot swiftly reached out and flicked again. This time, little Avellot could not escape. It groaned in pain, then struggled with its wings and claws, and swooped out.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The little golden eagle spread its wings and took off, shouting "Bad man! Bad man!". Then, it raised its wings and flew towards a two-story building behind the King's Palace.

Shirott was refreshed. He followed the direction in which Little Avelott flew, and cast his sight over it. Above the two-story building, the cloth of the gods fluttered in the wind. And a figure in white, just behind the veil-like curtain, Tingting stands~www.readwn.com~ Ah! "

Xiulote watched the little golden eagle fly into the pavilion and crash into the gauze-like curtain, revealing a beautiful face like a glimpse of light. The girl in white smiled lightly, her brows twitching. She hugged the little golden eagle gently and skillfully, then turned around gracefully and lightly, and disappeared from behind the curtain.

A gust of wind blew, and there seemed to be a faint laughter of the girl in white, all drifting away like a veil. Shirot stood for a few breaths, and the king's guards did not urge him.

After a while, Shiloh pursed his lips and regained his composure. After this interruption, his nervousness suddenly dissipated, leaving only full of expectations and high spirits.

The two passed through the nobles and officials waiting outside the hall until they reached the heavy door of the hall. Afterwards, the door of the hall opened with a creaking sound, and a king in Chinese clothes with a calm expression stood majestically on the throne.

"Praise the Lord God! The incarnation of the Sun God, the Grand Tratoani of the Alliance, the Supreme King of Avit, and the Prince of the Lake, Serot, greet you!"

With a solemn expression, Shulot walked slowly to the hall. He kneeled on the ground respectfully, and saluted to the big talker of the alliance, the elder of the royal family, the teacher when he was young, the current father-in-law, King Avit.

"Respected king, I haven't seen you for three years, you are still like the sun, shining on the entire alliance!"

On the throne of gold and stone, Avit was calm and unwavering. He didn't speak, and didn't show any expression, just calmly stared at Shulot under the throne. His eyes were calm and scrutinized, as if he was examining the changes and changes of the young man in the long years.

Arvet held the throne high and said nothing. Shulot respectfully knelt on the ground, motionless. The king and the prince, the two faced each other calmly, silently, but seemed to tell a lot. Sherlot's heart is full
