Chapter 140 The Royal Cat Desires to Express Its Ideas in the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion
The morning light is bright, and the clouds are golden.
"Ha—ow..." Jin Qian, who had slept until dawn, stretched his waist, scratched the head of the chicken nest, walked to the door and opened the door——
"Oh my mother!"
Jin Qian was so startled that he jumped out of the distance, his two thin eyes stared at the straight pine shadow at the door.
The red official robe is like fire, with jade inlaid black belt across the waist, black sand crown, red belt embellished on both sides, sword eyebrows flying, black eyes hidden cold stars, it is obviously a handsome version of the fourth-rank royal guard with a knife that has not been seen for a long time, but How does it look and feel today - eerie...
"Master Zhan, good morning—" Jin Qian calmed himself down, bowed his waist and clasped a fist at Zhan Zhao.
But when he lowered his head, Jin Qian felt even more strange.
The hem of a certain cat's official robe seems a little damp, it looks like it was wet with dew...
Could it be that the cat stood before dawn at——
bah bah bah!
It must have been wet when the industrious Mr. Mao was doing exercises early in the morning.
Jin Qian came to a conclusion smoothly.
"Jin Qian..."
Zhan Zhao's slightly hoarse voice sounded, but after half a sentence, there was nothing to say.
"The subordinate is here." Jin Qian raised his head in response, and his heart jumped again when he saw it.
I saw that Zhan Zhao, handsome and dignified, white as jade, black eyes like a pool, bottomless, cold and oppressive.
"Master Zhan?" Jin Qian swallowed his saliva and rubbed his back unconsciously.
How do you feel about this cat's expression... It looks like we owe him hundreds of taels of silver...
The atmosphere is a bit weird!
Zhan Zhao watched Jin Qian's reaction, his expression moved, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze slowly shifted. When he moved to the ring object on Jin Qian's wrist, his pitch-black pupils shrank violently, and a gust of cold air like a wind blade swished at him. Jin Qian's mind flew over.
Jin Qian shrank his neck reflexively, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.
Ah, our dear mother!
Isn't this, this momentum a sign of going crazy?
Why, why? !
Recently, we have been very law-abiding, hardworking, honest and tireless...
Just when Jin Qian's head was full of wailing, Zhan Zhao finally spoke the second half of his sentence.
"Captain Jin, Mr. Gongsun called you to help in the front yard."
After throwing out this blunt sentence, Zhan Zhao immediately turned around and left quickly.
"Ah? Ah! Yes, this subordinate obeyed..." Jin Qian looked at Zhan Zhao's back, scratched his head, confused.
What kind of wind is this cat having today?
Could it be that my uncle is here?
"It's really difficult to raise a villain and a man during menstruation!" Jin Qian shook his head and went back to the room to wash.
However, a certain red-clothed guard who walked out of the backyard gate slowly stopped, and Mr. Gongsun's words of exhortation from last night sounded in his ears: "Guard Zhan, Captain Jin's origin may be unusual, and the bracelet has been unusual recently. It seems to happen frequently, I'm afraid... In short, you need to pay more attention to Captain Jin."
The next moment, the poisonous sage's voice sounded out of his head like a curse, which made Zhan Zhao close his eyes suddenly.
"My disciple is surrounded by lightning and descended from the sky. He must be a heavenly man..."
The fists hanging by the sides were slowly clenched, the long eyelashes opened suddenly, the lacquered eyes shone, and the official boots moved again, every step was as firm as a rock, unwavering.
-
When Jinqian rushed to the side of the front yard, he found that there was already a tense scene of "the battle is about to come".
Mr. Gongsun sat behind the table in the room, while processing the letter of unknown content, while listening to the reports of everyone in the room.
"Mr. Gongsun, the imperial birthday gift has been loaded into the car."
"The binding is firm, don't make mistakes."
"Yes."
"Mr. Gongsun, all the weapons for the escort have been distributed."
"Equip crossbow arrows for fifty cavalry."
"Yes."
"Mr. Gongsun, here are some urgent letters sent this morning."
"Send this letter to Mr. Bao quickly, and pick up the remaining letters in an hour."
"Yes."
"Mr. Gongsun...Mr. Gongsun..."
Jin Qian stood at the door in a daze, watching the people in the house come and go like a revolving door, while Gongsun Ce in the house, as if he had grown three heads and six arms, resolved all the reported problems in an orderly and orderly manner. This combat power——
Really sturdy!
Jin Qian was speechless.
"Lieutenant Jin, why don't you come in?" Mr. Gongsun raised his voice after glancing at Jin Qian from the corner of his eye.
"This subordinate has seen Mr. Gongsun!"
Jin Qian hurriedly entered the house in three steps and two steps, and reported to Master Almighty.
"Lieutenant Jin, what is the antidote that you can resist the poison of the wood envoy Cangmu?" Mr. Gongsun raised his head and asked.
"Yes—the ultimate version of Wanshi Daji Pill." Jin Qian replied.
"How many coins does Captain Jin have on hand?"
"Big, there are about seven or eight..." Jin Qian was not sure.
"Not enough." Mr. Gongsun shook his head, "Make a hundred of them quickly."
"What?! One, one hundred?!" Jin Qian was shocked immediately.
"There are medicinal materials in the East Wing. If you don't have enough, go buy them." Mr. Gongsun's phoenix eyes flashed brightly, "Be sure to distribute the antidote to all the escorts before noon."
Jin Qian was excited, and immediately responded with clasped fists: "Subordinate, this subordinate obeys..." He paused, wrinkled his nose, and was a bit confused, "That...can you send two helpers to this subordinate?"
Mr. Gongsun looked up at Jin Qian, frowned slightly, and shouted outside: "Let Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning come here."
"Yes." Someone answered from outside the door, and after a while, Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning rushed in, sweating profusely.
"This subordinate has seen Mr. Gongsun."
"Both of you go to help Lieutenant Jin." Mr. Gongsun pointed at him, and then threw himself into a new round of command operations.
"Lieutenant Jin." Zheng and Lu clasped their fists at Jin Qian at the same time.
"Okay..." Jin Qian glanced at Mr. Gongsun, who was already at his wits end, took a breath, and looked at the two people opposite him, "Well, let's go!"
The three walked out of Mr. Gongsun's office, walked around the flower bed, and entered the east wing.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a mountain of medicinal materials, and the strong and strong medicinal smell almost choked Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning who were not used to it.
"What are we going to do?" Zheng Xiaoliu said dumbfounded.
"Make a hundred pills!" Jin Qian sighed.
"What?" Lu Xiaoning was stunned.
"Don't be dazed, work quickly!" Jin glanced at the medicinal materials in the house with a face full of death, rolled up his sleeves and plunged into the pile of medicinal materials, and shouted, "Come help, carry these few herbs out."
"Ah, good!" Zheng and Lu rushed into the pile of traditional Chinese medicine in a hurry.
After a cup of tea, the three looked at the ten kinds of medicinal materials piled up like a hill in front of them, and looked at each other in blank dismay.
"First, grind these herbs into powder..." Jin Qian swallowed.
Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning were immediately dumbfounded.
"So much... how long will this go!" Zheng Xiaoliu hugged his head.
"I thought it would be miserable enough to be scolded by Mr. Zhan over there, but I didn't expect it to be even worse here." Lu Xiaoning wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Being reprimanded by Mr. Zhan?" Jin Qian couldn't help but twitched his forehead and glanced at the two of them.
"That's right, Jinqian, you don't know how intimidating Mr. Zhan is today. He had a straight face early in the morning, and he was breathing coldly..." Zheng Xiaoliu explained in a serious manner.
"Master Zhan was so good yesterday, why did he become like this today..." Lu Xiaoning's white dough face was filled with awe of unknown creatures.
Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu glanced at Lu Xiaoning at the same time, patted Lu Xiaoning's shoulder one by one, and said in unison: "It's okay, just get used to it."
Lu Xiaoning: "..."
"In short, if you want to make a hundred pills before noon," Jin Qian frowned and looked at the pile of medicinal materials in front of him, helpless, "the powder should be ground within at least half an hour..."
"Half an hour?!" Zheng Xiaoliu's leopard eyes widened, "How is this possible!"
"Unless there is an electric medicine grinder... Ha, ha..." Jin Qian laughed dryly and muttered in his mouth.
"That... Captain Jin..." Lu Xiaoning glanced at the two of them, took a breath, the one you used before - the one that exploded after a blast... can it be used? "
Jin Qian suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Xiaoning.
Detective Lu was shocked by Jin Qian's stare, and he was a little embarrassed: "I just think about it..."
"Xiao Lu, you are a genius!"
Jin Qian patted Lu Xiaoning on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, he took out the medicine bag from his arms, poured out a bunch of small yellow-green pills, and said with a smile, "We just need to put these pills in the sack, and then grind them into powder as needed. The powdered traditional Chinese medicine is also stuffed in, and then shake it up and down, left and right, then 'boom'—"
Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning looked at Jinqian eagerly.
Jin Qian stared round and narrowed his eyes: "The medicinal materials will definitely be blown into powder!"
"Good idea!" Zheng Xiaoliu slapped his thigh, "What are you still doing, hurry up!"
As they said that, the three of them vacated the sack containing the medicinal materials with excited faces, and stuffed Jinqian's pills and the required medicinal materials into it.
"Okay, Detective Zheng, fast Detective Lu, shake it up!" Jin Qian put his hands on his hips and directed the other two.
Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning didn't doubt that he was there, they grabbed the sack one by one and began to shake it.
"Lieutenant Jin, why are you covering your face with a mask?" Lu Xiaoning, who was shaking the sack, glanced at Jin Qian's masked thief and asked in confusion.
"Because——" Jin Qian fastened the face towel firmly, raised a finger, and said in a muffled voice from behind the face towel, "The name of the explosive pill is the new uranium bomb——"
"boom!!"
A yellow-green smoke whizzed out instantly, and in an instant, the entire hotel was enveloped in an indescribable stench.
"What's going on?!" Mr. Gongsun pushed open the door with a livid face, but just as he poked his head, he was rushed out by the stench.
"Lieutenant Jin...cough cough, you, cough cough, what are you doing?!" The elegant voice of a certain almighty master obviously changed his tune.
"Mr. Gongsun, don't worry, within half an hour, we will be able to fry all the medicinal materials into powder...by noon, we will definitely be able to make a hundred Wanshi Daji Pills Ultimate Edition!"
Jin Qian patted Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning who had rolled their eyes and both fell to the ground, and said confidently.
Gongsun Ce outside the door held his forehead for a long while before he turned his head and shouted, "Go and find the guard Zhan..."
"Mr. Gongsun, what happened?"
Before Mr. Gongsun finished speaking, his icy voice came from outside the courtyard.
Mr. Gongsun looked back, and saw a red figure hurriedly approaching, straight as a pine tree, his whole body was cold, it could not be Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword.
"Guard Zhan, you came just in time, Captain Jin..." Mr. Gongsun pointed at the pharmacy helplessly.
Zhan Zhao frowned, and pushed open the door of the pharmacy, the cold air swirled around his body instantly, blowing away the strange smell that filled the whole room in an instant.
"Master Zhan?" Jin Qian, who was squatting on the ground and slapping Zheng Xiaoliu's cheek in the room, hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists at Zhan Zhao, "Don't bother Mr. Zhan, this subordinate can..."
"Don't tell me you want Mr. Bao to go to Xiangyang Palace with such a smell?!" Zhan Zhao frowned and said something.
Jin Qian choked, and said dryly: "It's not that time is tight and the task is heavy, and the subordinates have no choice but to use this expedient measure, and the stench is at most half a cup of tea, so it's harmless..."
"What do I have to do?"
Zhan Zhao interrupted Jin Qian's explanation.
"What?" Jin Qian was taken aback.
I saw Zhan Zhao standing in the middle of the medicinal herbs in the room, frowning tightly, seeing Jin Qian's expression of confusion, his thin lips parted slightly, and asked again: "What do I need to do?"
"I want... to grind this pile of medicinal materials into powder, but there are too many of them, so my subordinates..." Jin Qian pointed blankly at the pile of medicinal materials that he picked out.
Zhan Zhao glanced at the pile of herbs: "Bring the bag here."
"Huh? Oh, good." Jin Qian walked in front of Zhan Zhao with a sack in his hands.
Zhan Zhao probed to put the medicinal materials divided by Jin Qian into the sack, tied the mouth of the sack tightly with a rope, then picked up the sack with one hand, and gently waved his palm with the other——
Hearing a "poof", the shape of the sack bulging with medicinal materials suddenly softened.
"Okay." Zhan Zhao handed the sack to Jin Qian.
Jin Qian took it and opened it——
Ah!That's okay too? !
I saw that all the medicinal materials in the sack had turned into a fine powder, which was even finer than the high-quality medicinal powder grinded by the pharmacy.
This is simply a humanoid shredder!
No, Master Maoer uses internal energy, so it should be an internal energy crusher——
cough!No, this is not the point, the point is, at the critical moment of the enemy, is it appropriate to waste internal strength like this? !
Jin Qian suddenly jumped up and grabbed Zhan Zhao who was about to slap the second sack.
"Master Zhan, Mr. Zhan, you have to go to Xiangyang Prince's Mansion to have a banquet in the evening. The so-called bad luck and bad luck, you should save your internal strength... How about we ask Bai Wuye to help..."
"Pfft!" The second bag of herbs shattered under Zhan Zhao's palm.
"Brother Bai stayed at Lord Yan's residence last night to help Lord Yan set up the mechanism, and he will come back in the afternoon." Zhan Zhao began to stuff the third sack, and said calmly, "Don't worry about Zhan's internal strength, the senior medical fairy has already helped Zhan Dredging the tendons, and giving Zhan some pills to nourish his body and enhance his internal strength, Zhan's internal strength is no longer what it used to be."
"Master?" Jin Qian's eyelids couldn't help twitching, and he grabbed Zhan Zhao's pulse gate with a conditional launch.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian, but did not stop him.
As for Jin Qian, the moment he felt Zhan Zhao's pulse, he was shocked.
This, what is this?
The inner strength is abundant, full but not full, the surface is calm, and there are hidden shocks, just like the dark night and deep sea, unfathomable.
The most miraculous thing is that even though a small amount of internal energy was lost just now, the next moment, a trickle of internal energy quickly filled the dantian.
God!Is this a cheat with a full level of internal strength and a mana recovery?
Earth!Isn't it true that we went to the wrong online game studio?
This is not what it used to be, it's simply shocking and weeping ghosts and gods in the world, I am the only one who respects Taiya's heaven defying!
When Jinqian came back to his senses, Zhan Zhao had actually taken all the medicinal materials into medicinal powder——it was still a high-quality fine medicinal powder.
Jin Qian felt that his world view had been greatly impacted.
"Many, thank you Master Zhan..." Jin Qian looked dazed and clasped his fists in a daze, "This subordinate has to go to the kitchen to make honey..."
"Jin Qian!"
Suddenly, a hand tightly grasped Jin Qian's wrist.
Jin Qian couldn't help trembling all over his body. When he raised his eyes, his eyes suddenly became round——
Wisps of sunlight poured in through the window, dyeing the sky with medicine dust, like flying catkins and fireflies, flickering around, and the red-coated guards were dressed in brilliance.
"Jinqian...Zhanmou morning...not...it's just that Zhanmou thought Jinqian you..." Zhan Zhao glanced at the bracelet on Jinqian's wrist, the dark eyes flashed away, and he lowered his eyelashes , "Don't take it to heart."
At this moment, Jin Qian only felt that the young man in red in front of him was glowing all over his body, his face was full of radiance, his eyes were dizzy and his liver trembled, his heartbeat was out of control, and his ears were buzzing. He couldn't hear what Zhan Zhao said at all. Silly, he replied casually: "Ah, ah! That...subordinates know..."
Zhan Zhao's eyebrows moved, his long eyelashes trembled, and two golden lights fell off. The next moment, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight at Jin Qian. His eyes were watery, trembling and rippling.
"Jin Qian, when the matter with King Xiangyang is over, Zhan has something to tell you."
Jin Qian's cheeks gradually became inexplicably hot, and he nodded in a daze: "What, what's the matter?"
"Yes—" Zhan Zhao paused, his ears turned red, and under the sun, they looked like cherry red agate, "It's very important!"
"Subordinate, I know..." Jin Qian's eyes were blurred, and he nodded frequently as he watched Zhan Zhao, apparently dazed by the beauty of a certain cat. Zhan Zhao fixed his gaze on Jin Qian's expression, his handsome face gradually faded With a touch of astringency, he sighed secretly and let go of Jin Qian.
"Aren't you still going to refine honey?"
"Ah, that's right, this subordinate will leave first." Jin Qian suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up the sack on the ground, and rushed out.
When the sound of Jinqian's footsteps disappeared, Zhan Zhao slowly withdrew his eyes, turned his eyes slightly to one side, and said in a low voice, "Don't spread the word about today's affairs."
After all, step out.
Beside the pile of medicinal materials, Zheng Xiaoliu and Lu Xiaoning, who had been stunned by the detonated uranium bomb just now, were lying on the ground, staring at each other.
"Xiao, Brother Xiaoliu, what did Lord Zhan mean just now?"
"I didn't understand it either. Mr. Zhan told us not to talk nonsense, but Mr. Zhan himself obviously didn't say anything."
"Yeah, what do you think is the important thing Mr. Zhan said?"
"Hmm - I guess, it should be... Could it be that he wants to teach Jin Qian some peerless martial arts!"
"Brother Xiaoliu is right, it's amazing!"
"Hahaha, of course. Who am I, Zheng Xiaoliu? That's the official arrester of the Kaifeng Mansion. I'm the former roommate of the sixth-rank school lieutenant Jinqian..."
"Brother Xiaoliu, Captain Jin seems to have gone to the kitchen..."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and help!"
"Yes!"
-
It happened to be noon when Jinqian, Zheng Xiaoliu, and Lu Xiaoning worked hard to complete the task of one hundred copies of the Ultimate Edition of Everything Is Alright.
Knowing that Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Bao were eating in the wing room, Jin Qian hurried over with the correct attitude of handing in the work as soon as possible to get a high evaluation, but when he heard the voice of a certain cat at the door, Jin Qian hesitated.
The cat is there too...
Jin Qian walked around the door with the medicine bag in his hand.
Tsk, I don't know what happened when the cat came out of the pharmacy just now, but now when I think about it, my heart beats wildly, I always feel that there is something in the cat's words...
and many more!
Now that I think about it, Mao'er's expression at that time seemed to be three parts desperate... and three parts full of enthusiasm... plus one third of love, and one part of inexplicable taste...
Jin Qian pinched his slightly hot face to wake himself up a bit.
Could it be that... the cat is determined to——
Confess to White Mouse?
And the so-called important thing is——
To propose marriage to White Mouse...?
hiss!
Jin Qian suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, only felt his heart shrink violently, a feeling of drowning and suffocation surrounded him instantly, and he almost passed out.
Jin Qian's complexion turned pale, and he hurriedly slammed on his chest. After a long while, he regained his strength.
Oh dear mother!If so...
That, that...
Jin Qian took a deep breath——
Isn't that... Looking at the Kaifeng mansion, I am afraid that we are the only ones who can be worthy of the job of a matchmaker!
Calm down, take a deep breath, the world is so beautiful, we can't be anxious... Cough, bah, we can't be nervous...
In short, you need to plan carefully for marriage proposals...
"Little Jinzi!" A hand clapped on Jinqian's shoulder.
"Oh my grandma!" Jin Qian was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, and when he looked back, he saw Bai Yutang's white clothes shining brightly under the sunlight, almost blinding his eyes.
"Fifth Bai..." Jin Qian let out a soft breath, "I scared us to death."
Bai Yutang waved the jade bone fan leisurely, but the two dark circles under Taohua's eyes showed that Bai Wuye had not had a very leisurely night.
"What? Something on your mind?" Bai Yutang glanced at Jin Qian and asked.
yes!We were wondering if Mr. Zhan's wealth is enough to give the white mouse a betrothal gift!
Jin Qian looked at Bai Yutang with a gloomy face.
Bai Yutang's back was a little chilled by Jin Qian's gaze, and he turned his peachy eyes, and immediately changed the subject: "Why don't you go in?"
"Uh... well... we think Mr. Bao and the others may be discussing something serious, and it's really inappropriate for us to go in and disturb..."
But before Jin Qian finished speaking, Bai Yutang picked up his collar and dragged him in.
Mr. Bao inside the house was discussing something with Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao. When they saw Bai and Jin, the three of them were overjoyed.
"How?" Lord Bao and Mr. Gongsun asked at the same time.
But Mr. Bao asked about Bai Yutang, and Mr. Gongsun asked about Jinqian.
"Bai has set up a triple protection mechanism around Mr. Yan's residence, so there should be no worries." Bai Yutang replied with cupped fists.
"This is the ultimate version of one hundred Wanshi Daji Pills." Jin Qian handed in the results of his work.
Mr. Bao nodded, Mr. Gongsun opened the medicine bag and looked satisfied, and then he clasped his fist at Mr. Bao: "My lord, everything is ready, when are we going?"
Master Bao didn't give the order immediately when he heard the words, instead he got up slowly, looked around the people in the room, and said with a solemn expression: "I am waiting here to go to Xiangyang Mansion for the banquet, just to confuse their sight and delay time, if I can try to stay The Prince of Xiangyang’s Mansion is naturally the best. It’s just that the King of Xiangyang is ambitious and has a heart of treachery. I’m afraid that…” Mr. Bao paused, “The King of Xiangyang will make things difficult for us, or insult and abuse us. The words—"
Speaking of this, Master Bao sighed lightly, and looked at the four people opposite: "I hope you can take the overall situation into consideration, bear the burden of humiliation, and don't be arrogant, and remember the word 'forbearance' before you act."
As soon as this remark came out, there was silence in the room.
Mr. Gongsun was the first to come back to his senses, and he clasped his fists in response: "Gongsun Ce respectfully obeys your lord's orders."
"Zhan Zhao would like to obey your lord's orders." Zhan Zhao followed closely behind.
"Bai Yutang—" Bai Yutang gritted his teeth, "I will obey your lord's order."
Only Jin Qian stood there in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't reply for a long time.
"Captain Jin!" Zhan Zhao frowned and raised his voice.
"Ah! This subordinate respectfully obeys your lord's order..." Jin Qian hurriedly clasped his fists in response.
"What's so puzzling about Lieutenant Jin?" Master Bao asked.
All eyes shot at Jin Qian.
"Ah, this..." Jin Qian scratched his head, "This subordinate is thinking... It's okay to say insults and insults, but it's a big deal and let it go... But what if... the King of Xiangyang is thirsty for talents, He intends to recruit us to be his subordinates, and then... use some inconspicuous means..."
As he spoke, Jin Qian couldn't help swallowing, "For example, using a lot of money to buy..."
Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun's eyes twitched at the same time, Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and everyone stared at Jin Qian with an expression of "only you will be fooled".
Jin Qian scratched his face: "Ahem, dang, of course it is possible to use beauty tricks..."
Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun both laughed and laughed.
"Little Jinzi..." Bai Yutang's head was full of black lines.
"Cough!" Zhan Zhao coughed dryly.
"Of course, we loyal and patriotic people will not be fooled by such inferior methods..." Jin Qian laughed dryly, rubbed his chin and continued to speculate, "Maybe he will also use drugs—don't worry about that, now One hundred Wanshi Daji Pills are the ultimate version, and dog skin plasters can handle all kinds of messes properly..."
"Captain Jin, you think too much." Zhan Zhao sighed and shook his head.
Mr. Bao has a look of disbelief.
"Little Jinzi..." Bai Yutang rolled his eyes, "Don't you think that the King of Xiangyang will be the same as you, using these inconspicuous methods?"
Only Mr. Gongsun seemed to think of something, shook his head slightly, and shook his head again.
"That's right, that's the King of Xiangyang, the means must be higher than what we thought!" Jin Qian's narrow eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Wow, maybe it's a series of buying activities such as conferring an official title, giving a villa, giving gold mountains and giving beauties!
Everyone looked at Jin Qian's expression, dumbfounded.
-
The halo was violent, and the wind was silent.
Gold and iron horses, hissing and raising dust.
At the time of Shenshi, a team of hundreds of people meandered into the middle city of Xiangyang West City.I saw this team, beating the gong to clear the way, the people and horses were mighty, accompanied by imperial servants, and the soldiers were strict.Directly in front of the team are two steeds, the one on the left sits a guard in red with a heroic appearance, and the other sits a knight in white with an outstanding demeanor.In the middle of the procession is a large sedan chair carrying eight Chinese characters. The eight porters have big arms and round waists, majestic and majestic.
Behind the Wenhua sedan is a two-wheeled carriage, which is quite simple, and behind the horse-drawn carriage, there are ten double-driver trucks, which are full of treasure chests, and the wheels of each car are deeply sunken. Obviously, the goods on the car are very valuable .
This group of people marched mightily, and finally stopped in front of the main gate of Xiangyang Palace located in the center of Xiangyang City.
I saw this Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, facing south from north, covering a vast area, magnificent and magnificent.Looking from a distance, you can see the red walls and green pillars, the cornices are continuous, and the sun shines on the top of the golden glazed eaves, which is golden and dazzling.
Looking at the main entrance of the Wangfu, the blood-painted gate is as high as three feet, the green pillars are like jade, the stone lions are majestic, and a gilt plaque hangs high, with the words "Wangfu" written on it.
Outside the main gate, there has already been a line of troops waiting for a long time, at first glance, there are more than a hundred people, with flags and flags fluttering in the team, spears like forests, and armors with cold light, which is oppressive.
But right in front of such a group of people, there was a commoner standing.
I saw this man, more than eight feet tall, dry and thin, dressed in black like a dark night, with narrow sleeves and tight legs, short skirt and short back, and a thin sword on his waist, with dazzling patterns on the hilt, silver light Brilliant, very detailed.
Looking at this person's appearance again, the hair is in a high bun, but the hair color is like faded ink paper, faintly gray, his complexion is like rice paper, pale and seeping, but his lips are as red as blood, his eyes are huge, and their eye sockets are sunken , with strong hostility between his brows and eyes, his eyes are filled with inner light, and his temples are protruding, he is obviously a person with profound inner strength.
Seeing the imperial envoy, he bowed slightly, cupped his fists and shouted:
"Wang Yan, the guard of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, welcome Lord Bao."
Mr. Bao's imperial envoy stopped, the Wenhua sedan was covered with dust, Mr. Gongsun and Jin Qian got off the carriage and waited on both sides of the sedan, Bai Yutang got off his horse to protect Jiaozi, Zhan Zhao got off his horse and came to the front of the sedan Lift the car curtain with the scabbard.
Mr. Bao, who was dressed in a black python robe, stepped out of the sedan chair, looked up at the guard named Wang Yan, and frowned slightly.
"Master Bao is an imperial envoy to celebrate his birthday, and the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion even sent an unofficial bodyguard to welcome the imperial envoy. Isn't this a contempt for the emperor's grace?!" Mr. Gongsun's sharp voice came.
But Wang Yan didn't seem to hear it, but he ordered a group of soldiers behind him: "Check the birthday gift and put it in the warehouse."
The group of soldiers obeyed the order and came forward to the carriage carrying birthday presents, and was about to take over the carriage.
"Wait a minute!" Zhan Zhao stepped forward and raised his voice, "How can a birthday gift from an imperial court be inspected at random on the street! How decent is it?!"
That Wang Yan glanced at Zhan Zhao coldly: "The palace is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions darkened.
Mr. Gongsun narrowed his phoenix eyes, Zhan Zhao's whole body burst into cold air, Jin Qian almost yelled and cursed, Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes straightened, and with a twist of his wrist, he was about to draw out the Huaying sword.
"Do as he says." Master Bao suddenly said in a deep voice.
"My lord!" Everyone stared.
Lord Bao looked at the crowd, and said slowly: "Since it is a birthday gift for the King of Xiangyang, I don't have to question what the Prince of Xiangyang's palace wants to do with it."
Everyone stared at Mr. Bao, and remembered Mr. Bao's previous entrustment, they couldn't help being silent.
Wang Yan raised his eyes to look at Master Bao, cupped his fists in a salute, and then directed a group of soldiers to accept the birthday gift, then cupped his fists to Master Bao again, and said, "Master Bao, please."
Master Bao nodded with a sullen face, and walked into the main gate of the palace. Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao followed, Bai Yutang, and Jin Qian stayed behind, but just after the six people entered the gate, the accompanying imperial servants behind them hadn't entered yet. With a bang, the gate of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion was closed.
The five people were startled and turned around suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Gongsun asked angrily.
"The king's mansion is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter." Wang Yan looked at the few people with a blank expression, raised his hand and waved lightly, and several guards stepped forward and surrounded the five people.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked serious, and immediately took a step forward.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Yutang asked coldly.
"The prince is a man of gold, you can't wait to enter with weapons." Wang Yan said coldly.
Immediately, six guards stepped forward, standing beside Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Jin Qian two by two, raising their hands to remove the weapons from the three of them.
"Zhan Zhao is the fourth-rank guard with a sword in the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Palace can still walk with a sword." Zhan Zhao's black eyes sparkled, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Could it be that a mere royal palace can't compete with the Emperor's Golden Palace?"
The two guards beside Zhan Zhao trembled and looked at Wang Yan together.
Wang Yan glanced at Zhan Zhao quietly, and signaled the two guards to step back.
Bai Yutang was very agile, and he handed out his Huaying sword with an indifferent appearance: "Be careful, this sword is so precious and heavy!"
Wang Yan took the sword, but his eyes fell on the dragon rope wrapped around Bai Yutang's waist.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why, you also need a belt? Are you going to let Fifth Master carry my trousers to meet your prince?"
Wang Yan turned his gaze, and then glanced at Jin Qian who was very cooperative with the standard wide knife handed in to the Kaifeng Mansion, and then moved his gaze to the cloth bag on Jin Qian's waist.
"No, I want this too?!" Jin Qian took off the cloth bag and handed it out with a displeased face, complaining, "How poor is this Xiangyang Prince's Mansion? It doesn't even let us take these few pills." , could it be that the prince of Xiangyang is too poor to let go of the pot?"
As soon as these words came out, Lord Bao, Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang coughed at the same time.
Wang Yan's slate-like face twitched faintly, but in the end he still took Jin Qian's medicine bag away.
"Everyone, please." Wang Yan stretched out his hand forward.
The five looked at each other.
"Since it has come, it will be safe." Lord Bao took the lead.
The five followed Wang Yan into the Xiangyang Palace.
When they entered the palace, everyone couldn't help being secretly surprised.
But in this palace, there are five steps to the first floor, ten steps to one pavilion, carved beams and painted pillars everywhere, exotic flowers and plants abound, it can be said to be resplendent and luxurious.Armed soldiers, attendants shuttle, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, the defense is airtight.
The strangest thing was that there were people coming and going in the Ming Ming mansion, but there was no sound, even the maids and eunuchs could not hear footsteps, the whole palace was like a lifeless tomb.
The further you go into the palace, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
Hey, why is this place getting colder and cloudier as we go, there must be something unclean.
Jin Qian kept beating the drum while walking in his heart.
Just as he was thinking like this, suddenly, a burst of music came from his ears, the music came very abruptly, and it seemed even more strange in the dead silence of the palace.
"Here we are." Wang Yan, who was leading the way, stopped and turned around to tell the crowd.
Everyone raised their eyes and saw a magnificent palace in front of them, with red pillars and green tiles, carved beams and painted pillars, and a golden plaque with "Xuanwu Palace" hanging on the gate. The guards in front of the gate were heavily guarded. The maids in the house moved around, and the music just now came from this hall.
"My lord has been waiting for a long time," Wang Yan signaled to everyone, "Lord Bao, please!"
Everyone's complexion changed, and they stepped into the hall at the same time.
As soon as they entered the hall, everyone suddenly felt their eyes brighten.
But I saw that the hall was spacious, bright and brightly lit. Under the shadows on the two corridors of the main hall, 50 musicians were sitting each, holding pipes and flutes, playing music and singing along with the bells and piano boards.On the front side of the two corridors, there are two rows of long tables, one side is empty, and the other side has already been seated, but it is too far away to see clearly.
A scarlet long carpet with a width of ten feet extends from the entrance of the hall to the end of the palace. At the end of the long carpet, there is a red sandalwood throne, and on the throne, sits an old man. Needless to say, it must be Zhao Jue, King of Xiangyang.
Everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion tensed up, and they all stepped forward to salute.
"Bao Zheng and Bao Xiren have met the prince." Master Bao stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed.
"Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, sees the prince."
"Gongsun Ce, the master of the Kaifeng Mansion, pays his respects to the prince."
"From the sixth-rank school captain Jinqian to see the prince."
"Crassman Bai Yutang pays his respects to the prince."
Four people behind Mr. Bao bowed down at the same time.
The music in the hall suddenly stopped, and the whole hall was as silent as death.
Suddenly, a Cang Yin laughter resounded in the hall.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Bao, hurry up and get up!"
"Thank you, Lord."
Lord Bao and his entourage stood up and looked up at the same time, only then did they see King Xiangyang's face clearly.
But I saw this man, with a burly figure and a strong spirit, wearing a purple gold narrow-sleeved brocade robe, with a rusty auspicious cloud swastika gold pattern on his waist, a jade belt inlaid with a mosaic pattern around his waist, and silver-top thick-soled cloud-toed boots on his feet.
Looking at the face, the head is tied in a high bun, the top is wearing a gold crown inlaid with jade, the temples are silver and white, the face is square with Chinese characters, and the short chin is carefully trimmed.His brows are broad like knives, sharp and upright, his eyes are as deep as eagles, and his eyes are flickering. Although he has a smile on his face at this time, his face seems kind, but his eyes are as cold as ice, and the murderous aura is scattered, which makes people feel dizzy. .
"Wang Shiwei, Master Bao has been exhausted all the way, please take a seat with Master Bao and his party." Xiangyang Wang smiled and glanced at Wang Yan.
"Master Bao,
