Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

The capital, an ancient and mysterious city, unfolds before the eyes of the world like a colorful painting. They are about to step into a brand new world, a seemingly prosperous and bustling place, but it is full of unknowns and challenges.

For Xueyao, the road ahead is destined to be bumpy, and she may face more unexpected difficulties and obstacles. Bai Yichen is well aware of this, so he must remain highly vigilant. Not only must he ensure his own safety, but he must also be prepared at all times to share any risks with Xueyao.

But he believed that they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

At this moment, horses were galloping on the wide official road, and the sound of their hooves resounded through the sky.

The sun shone through the clouds, gently caressing Xueyao's resolute and beautiful face. Bai Yichen looked at her silently, with endless tenderness in his eyes.

He secretly rejoiced that he could meet Xue Yao in such a huge crowd. This was undoubtedly the greatest luck in his life.

At this moment, Bai Yichen made up his mind that no matter what difficulties and obstacles he would encounter in the future, he would remain steadfast by Xueyao's side. He would use all his strength to defend this hard-earned happiness and protect the woman in his heart.

After eliminating the thieves, Xue Yao arranged for them to return to their rooms to rest. After entering the room, Bai Yichen did not stop, but quickly returned to his busy official duties. After everything was arranged, he could not wait to appear in the rest room again.

The person in front of him always made him feel uneasy.

Bai Yichen was daydreaming when the horse in front of him stopped.

"Huh..." What's going on? Xueyao also stopped the horse, her heart full of confusion.

The road ahead was covered in dust, and it seemed as if a large group of people were moving forward. Bai Yichen immediately became alert, narrowing his eyes slightly and scanning the gradually clearing figures ahead.

Xue Yao also sensed something was amiss. She turned to look at Bai Yichen, a questioning look in her eyes. Bai Yichen shook his head, signaling her to remain calm, then spurred his horse forward, wanting to see clearly what the group was up to.

As they drew closer, the true identity of the troops gradually emerged. They wore uniform armor, and their flags bore a large "Emperor" (皇) embroidered on them. Clearly, this was a royal army from the capital.

The Imperial Guards were an elite force directly under the emperor, responsible for protecting the emperor, the palace and the capital.

The appearance of the Royal Army surprised Xueyao and her group. The capital was still quite a distance away, so why were the Royal Army here? Could something major be happening?

Xueyao frowned slightly at this. Although she wasn't afraid of any challenge, she didn't want to get into any trouble before entering the capital. Her mind raced, trying to come up with a suitable response.

Then he looked at Bai Yichen. How would he deal with such a situation?

Bai Yichen rode his horse to catch up with the team. The main team continued to move forward, but some people at the end of the team stopped and looked alert.

I saw a man who looked like a deputy general riding a tall horse, walking towards me with an imposing manner.

He was wearing silver armor, a red cloak on his shoulders, and his face was full of majesty.

The general reined in his horse, glanced at Bai Yichen and Xue Yao, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Why are we here? Didn't anyone tell us we weren't allowed to be here? Aren't you blocking our way? But she didn't want to cause any trouble, so she kept it to herself.

Bai Yichen bowed and replied, "We are from out of town and are about to go to the capital to do some business. I wonder if the general has any advice for us?"

The general's gaze lingered on the two men for a moment, then he looked at the others behind him, as if examining their identities.

Then he nodded, his tone softening slightly. "So, you're heading to the capital. However, the situation in the capital has been tense recently, and His Majesty has ordered increased inspections throughout the country. Do you have a pass?"

Bai Yichen shook his head. They hadn't received any orders from the capital for this trip, so naturally, they didn't have a pass. Seeing this, the general's eyes flashed with vigilance. He waved his hand, signaling his men to surround Bai Yichen and Xue Yao.

Xueyao couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw this. Although her cultivation was not low, it was not appropriate for her to use her magic in front of these mortals.

Facing so many well-trained royal troops, it is inevitable that a mortal would feel some pressure to resist. She looked at Bai Yichen and saw that he had a calm expression and did not seem worried.

Bai Yichen stepped forward, bowed again and said to the general: "General, we are just passing through here. If there is anything wrong, please let us know!"

The general hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. He waved his hand, signaling his men to put away their weapons. Then he said to Bai Yichen and Xue Yao, "Retreat at least two miles from the front. Don't pursue us. If you dare to do anything unlawful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Bai Yichen and Xue Yao looked at each other, nodded, and then rode their horses back to a suitable position and stopped.

It wasn't long before Bai Yichen understood the origins of this royal army. It turned out they were escorting an important figure to the capital, and this figure turned out to be a long-lost princess.

The princess's name is Wan'er, and she is the current emperor's biological daughter.

Many years ago, due to a palace coup, Princess Wan'er was forced to leave the palace and live among the people. Over the years, the emperor has sent people to search for her whereabouts, but has never found her.

Until recently, someone came with news that Princess Wan'er was found in a remote mountain village.

So the emperor immediately sent a royal army to search for her and personally ordered that Princess Wan'er be safely escorted back to the capital.

As expected, the royal family is full of gossip.

Princess Wan'er's story has caused quite a stir in the imperial palace of Beijing. As the biological daughter of the current emperor, her return will undoubtedly bring about a major change in the entire royal family.

Although Xue Yao and Bai Yichen were just passing by, they were also attracted by this sudden news. They silently observed the royal army from a distance, their hearts filled with curiosity and concern for Princess Wan'er.

Xue Yao released her divine sense, and Princess Wan'er gradually appeared within their "sight." She was dressed in a simple dress. Though she had lost her former finery, her innate noble aura remained undiminished. Her face was clear and beautiful, her eyes deep, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Retracting her consciousness, Xue Yao looked at Bai Yichen, "Why do I feel that Princess Wan'er looks familiar?"

The team continued on their way, soon disappearing from their sight. Xueyao and the others set out again, continuing their journey. However, the image of Princess Wan'er lingered in their hearts. The stone was about to hit the surface of the entire capital, and who knew how many waves it would create.
