Jiang Fan looked at all the ceremony guards and narrowed his eyes: "Is it so... grand?"
The civil servant quickly apologized and said, "You are a dignified king. How can you be careless in traveling? And you are here to pay a visit to the Supreme Emperor. You must have all the proper honors and guards. Please do so."
Jiang Fan thought for a while, since it was best not to walk, and was about to get into the sedan chair, when suddenly a war horse came out from the mountain pass, with a helmeted and armored general sitting on it. He picked up the reins and stepped forward and said loudly: "But Is King Xiaoyao here?"
Jiang Fan was startled and looked the man up and down, "It is this king."
"Your Majesty," the general just clasped his fists casually: "Your Majesty is in poor health and cannot see guests. Your Majesty, please come back."
Um? Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed, was he rejecting guests?
The civil servant just now was stunned and hurriedly came forward and said: "General Qiu, the prince is here to visit on His Majesty's order..."
"I know that." The general interrupted unceremoniously: "But this is the resting place of the past kings. Your Majesty rests here and doesn't want to be disturbed by the world. You'd better come back."
The civil servant was startled and just about to speak, Jiang Fan grabbed him and took a few steps forward: "Are you talking to this king?"
General Qiu frowned: "I was just ordered to deliver the order. Don't be offended, Your Majesty."
Jiang Fan stretched out his hand: "Where's the decree? Bring it?"
General Qiu was stunned for a moment: "This is the Imperial Majesty's decree..."
"Then there is no more?" Jiang Fan suddenly sneered: "You dare to be so arrogant without an order. According to etiquette, even if there is an order, you have to meet me first before saying anything. Your surname is Qiu? Look at your attire as a fourth-grade general. Isn't it king? You don’t even get off your horse when you’re talking? You still call me “everyone?” You are so brave!”
General Qiu was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Fan stared at him: "Get off your horse and apologize!"
General Qiu's expression suddenly changed. He was completely surprised by Jiang Fan's strength. Just as he was hesitating, a horse rushed toward General Na Qiu like thunder.
The next moment, General Qiu was held in the knight's hand like a chicken, turned his horse around, and threw it in front of Jiang Fan.
It's Gao Rong.
Although this guy was extremely unhappy with Jiang Fan, in his eyes, the majesty of the empress could never be insulted, and Jiang Fan came on behalf of the empress this time.
General Qiu was stunned by the fall, and it took him a long time to get up. Just as he was about to stand up, the two knights in golden armor in front of the sedan came over, kicked him in the crook of his legs, made him kneel down, and then held his shoulders on the left and right.
General Qiu was shocked and angry: "I am the commander of the Supreme King's personal guard. How dare you do this to me?"
Jiang Fan just looked at him: "Palm mouth!"
The next moment, a guard with a golden sword walked up directly, picked up the scabbard and opened the bow left and right, blinking a dozen times. The beating made General Qiu's face swollen, his mouth spurted with blood, and several of his teeth fell out.
Jiang Fan waved his hand to signal the golden sword guard to stop, and leaned over to look at him: "Do you know why I hit you?"
"I...I was ordered...to pass the order, why did you hit me..."
"It seems you still don't understand. Continue."
The golden sword guard didn't care about that, and within a dozen strokes, the general's helmet was blown off and his hair was scattered.
General Qiu was almost knocked unconscious, and it took him a long time to recover. He narrowed his swollen eyes and looked at the young prince in horror.
"Do you understand now?"
"You are... slapping the Supreme King in face..."
"Bah! You are the only fourth-grade general who dares to call the Supreme King's face, and dares to block His Majesty's special envoy in public. Seeing that the King refuses to bow and has no rules, killing you will not go too far. Someone, give him to me. Tie it to the back of the horse and pull it up the mountain!"
General Qiu was horrified, but no matter how stupid he was, he knew that if he still dared to speak harshly, he might really be chopped down with a knife.
The civil servant gasped. Others couldn't understand, but he knew very well that this was the Supreme Being's power to the empress from afar. But this prince didn't care at all. He just started talking and tied the man behind the horse and pulled him up the mountain. I don't know whether he was daring or just naturally tough. But this errand may not be easy...
I couldn't help but look back at Gao Rong, only to see the latter sitting high on the horse and not paying attention.
Suddenly he realized that the man who had just captured General Qiu alive was tough enough. With him and King Xiaoyao, what do I, a mere civil servant, do to care about this? Just follow.
All the way up the mountain.
The main peak of Tangwu Mountain is very peculiar. The whole mountain seems to be built up by columns one by one, getting thinner and thinner from bottom to top. The edges of the columns are ringed mountain roads and various pavilions.
The first floor is where the mountain guards and guards gather. The second floor is where dignitaries live when they worship. The third floor is where princes, princesses and other members of the Ying family come to worship. The fourth floor is the residence where the king, queen mother, queen and others worship and rest. The fifth floor is the resting place of the past emperors. The sixth floor, the top floor, is where the ancestral temple is located.
The Supreme Emperor lives on the fourth floor.
Even though all the palaces and pavilions are built according to the circular terrain, due to the huge size of Tangwu Mountain, the site is still extremely wide.
As soon as Jiang Fan and others stepped onto the first floor, they were stopped by a group of soldiers who asked for a pass.
The civil servants were naturally prepared and took out tokens and documents, so no one dared to stop him. But after going up to the fourth floor and arriving outside the Ganlin Palace where the Supreme Emperor was resting, he was once again blocked by the Supreme Emperor's personal guards. This time, you can only enter with a warrant from the Supreme Emperor.
There is nothing wrong with that, after all, he is nominally the most noble Supreme Emperor in the Qin Dynasty and the father of the empress.
The civil servants came forward to explain their intention and negotiated for a while, but the guards refused to let him go.
This is interesting. Jiang Fan looked at the mansion in front of him. His father-in-law really didn't want to see Xiao Cui. Wife, your family is really disharmonious.
But Gao Rong ignored it this time, because it was both emotional and reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with blocking him here.
But he looked at Jiang Fan sideways, and his eyes were clearly mocking. It seemed that Jiang Fan was frustrated, but he was still very happy.
Haha... Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. If he didn't even go through the door, he would be in great disgrace.
It is impossible to break in forcefully, that is the crime of disrespect. Although you are the king of one word, you cannot use this name.
Overtly or covertly, I don’t know how many people are waiting to see the joke of this one-word shoulder-to-shoulder king.
Jiang Fan looked at it with his hands behind his hands for a while, then suddenly grinned and said loudly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health, Xiao Wang will do something else first."
Suddenly he waved his hand: "Come here, help me search for the criminal!"
Everyone was stunned by this voice.
Gao Rong also stared blankly.
Jiang Fan said calmly: "I have received a tip that a spy from another country has secretly sneaked into the Great Qin Ancestral Temple. I have another order this time, which is to capture this person. Let's do this first!"
Suddenly, an old eunuch walked out of the mansion, walked quickly to Jiang Fan, bowed and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, this is where the ancestral temple is, the resting place of the Supreme Emperor, where did the imperial convict come from, what you are doing is inappropriate... …”
Jiang Fan looked at him: "May I ask, what is your name for this father-in-law?"
The old eunuch's eyes flashed and he said: "I don't dare to ask questions like a prince. The Za family belongs to the Grand Emperor's chamberlain, Gong Yu."
