Chapter 640: Time is destiny
Sure enough, after a while, Gao Shan and others also walked out of this half-incarceration and half-interrogation prison.
"Your Highness, long time no see." Gao Shan's face was stiff. They didn't come to the muddy water voluntarily, but His Majesty ordered it. They didn't dare to disrespect it. The eunuch came with the order and almost scared them silly. Later, they were lucky enough. In front of the saint, His Majesty Wen Hong actually cared for them as if they had royal blood.
Then there was a burst of deception, about national affairs that everyone was responsible for, and about a manly man serving the country with loyalty, which made Li Zhiyi's blood boil. Even Guo Huai, who had always been calm, was swayed by the emperor's personal deception.
In the end, the emperor promised several people official positions, which made them surprised, happy, and grateful.
Then the four of them were rushed here in a daze, and were told by the father-in-law in the palace that they had to convince Wei Ya.
This is really difficult for people to do. Although they are a human race that Wei Ya is relatively close to, everyone only has a sense of awe in their hearts for the time being, and they dare not touch a tiger's butt.
"Are you really here?"
Wei Ya crossed her arms and leaned back slightly, looking as arrogant as the powerful men described in the story books.
"Your Majesty - Your Highness...Long time no see." Gao Shan gritted his teeth and looked around. In addition to the Golden Sword Guard, the eldest lady Baili was also there: "I've met the eldest lady."
Baili Chuqiu suddenly became confused.
Convince Wei Ya that this idea is a bad idea in the first place. This is a major national matter. It's just a matter of oneself. Why did Gao Shan get a few people here? What on earth is Your Majesty thinking? Do you treat national affairs as a child's play?
"The Chief Minister Yu Xiu has arrived for free!"
Mr. Chief Assistant?
Everyone was stunned for a while, and Guo Huai was even more excited, saying loudly: "Is it Mr. Chief Assistant? Is it really Mr. Chief Assistant?"
It turns out that although Guo Huai is a monk, he has the intention to enter the palace and write. Now looking at the court, the only person he admires the most is Yu Xiubai, the currently prestigious chief minister of the cabinet.
The center of the empire, the face of all people, really makes people feel like mountains are standing still, bowing their heads to listen to instructions.
However, completely inconsistent with the tall figure in my mind, an old man with half a hunchback walked in step by step. This old man's face was dull and wrinkled. The only eye-catching thing was that although it was a little muddy, it was It stings people's eyes like an awl.
"Greetings, Lord Shofu!"
As monks, Gao Shan and others did not need to kowtow, but they were all respectful and bowed to the ground. The person in front of them was a more important person than the head of Nantianmen. Even if Zhang Yangguan came, he had to be very polite.
Yu Xiubai raised his hand slightly, indicating that everyone didn't need to be polite.
"I have met Viya, Her Royal Highness Princess Constantine."
Wei Ya had a pair of exotic eyes, sapphire blue like water, and then she looked solemnly at the old man from the Great Xia Empire.
She was not rude, she even stood up, raised her skirt and smiled with the etiquette of the demon clan.
"I've met the old man. I haven't seen him for a long time. He seems to be in much better spirits."
"Thanks to the princess, the tributes brought by the princess are really the pinnacle of longevity. Your Majesty has rewarded me with some. I have to find time to ask for more from Your Majesty."
Everyone was surprised to see that Wei Ya and Lord Chief Assistant were so harmonious, and they were as familiar as neighbors.
Yu Xiubai coughed lightly: "No matter what the war situation is between the Demon Kingdom and Daxia, Your Highness Wei Ya is our honored guest.".
This sound sounded like an explanation, and then Yu Xiubai said: "Your Majesty has hosted a family banquet. Please come and have a meal together."
"ah?"
How many people were even more at a loss to enjoy a family banquet with the emperor? No, the family banquet is short, they are not related to the emperor, why?
——
A distinguished guest came to Manjianghong. This historic restaurant has received countless distinguished guests, but there is only one kind of guest that can make Wentian Tower invisible, let the golden sword guard the Qing Dynasty, and let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses surround them. Dispatch and control.
But what’s puzzling this time is that it seems that this noble man didn’t plan to book the venue.
, there was an endless stream of people coming and going to Manjiang Red Restaurant, and a long queue formed at the gate to enter the store.
As the saying goes, if you don’t eat Manjianghong and drink Zhuangyuanhong when you visit the capital, you haven’t arrived in the capital.
Gao Shan and others were escorted by several ordinary people dressed as Golden Sword Guards and Palace Wall Imperial Guards to enter Tianzi Room No. 1. This room overlooked the entire first floor of people coming and going. This box was exclusively for the dignitaries of the capital, and it was what ordinary people wanted. They may also be rejected due to insufficient identity. Especially some big merchants who come to Beijing with a lot of money want to book the number one room in the sky to gain a reputation for themselves, even if they spend a lot of money, they can't get what they want.
This is Azolla.
The guests who came to the store today seemed to notice a different atmosphere. They could obviously detect many strange people walking around with weapons hidden in their clothes, observing the environment.
But most people don't take it seriously. After all, many big shots bring many entourages with them when they come to dinner. It doesn't matter if they bring knives.
"What's such a coincidence? Are you poor guys again?" Among the people waiting in line, there was actually the Zheng family. Hey, hey, aren't these some old acquaintances? Zheng Du, Zheng Xiaohong, and Zheng Ping who often makes rude remarks.
Zheng Ping was frustrated last time, but this time he couldn't hold it back. While laughing, he even touched Mo Ai's hand: "Little girl, I'm talking to you, uncle..."
Hearing a brushing sound, Zheng Ping felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and suddenly he was pulled away by a strong force.
It turned out that the person who pulled him was Zheng Du, and Mo Ai in front of him was protected by two tall, unsmiling men, who had half-drawn their sharp blades.
"You bitch, you actually hooked up with two..."
Hearing a snap, he was slapped by Zheng Xiaohong - "Zheng Xiaohong, are you crazy again?"
Zheng Xiaohong ignored Zheng Ping, but stared at Zheng Du and said: "Xiu Chun Dao..."
Zheng Du dispersed all his energy. As a soul, the aura he just released was like a tiger standing on a flock of chickens. However, the two men with knives did not react at all. However, his move revealed those who were hiding in the secret. Killing intent.
There are at least hundreds of knives here, and besides Man Jianghong, there are countless more.
Zheng Du glanced at Gao Shan and others, and Li Zhiyi was actually snickering.
"Zheng Ping, apologize."
Zheng Ping blushed. These people were nothing in his eyes. Back then at Nantianmen, he saw these people humiliating them as much as they wanted. On one occasion, they even ordered the grain delivered to Cunjin Peak to be replaced with Gushui. That was what he most talked about.
In the eyes of the Zheng family, this group of people are just a bunch of lackeys who are flattering and attached to that useless young sect!
You are not worthy of entering Nantianmen in the first place!
"Zheng... Ping, I want you to apologize!" Zheng Du's tone was no longer kind.
Gao Shan stopped him in time: "Brother Zheng, no need, we are already used to it anyway."
Zheng Du and Gao Shan's eyes met.
"You chased me very quickly, but you didn't expect that in a blink of an eye you would be in the Golden Core realm?"
"Thanks to the great blessing of my senior brother's family, we dare not give in or take a break. We practice day and night just to become the true Nantianmen disciples that Zheng Ping calls us."
"Are you a member of the Nantianmen, or the Yinxiao Sect?"
Gao Shan and others took a deep look at him and entered Manjianghong.
After Zheng Ping and the others left, they muttered: "A bunch of poor ghosts and swordsmen who hooked up somewhere? Brother, why don't we..."
"Zheng Ping, go back to study."
Zheng Du said.
"Big brother? Senior brother?"
Zheng Ping couldn't believe his ears. His elder brother was clearly punishing him, in front of so many people!
"You have repeatedly offended others with your rude words, and today you almost had a conflict with the Golden Sword Guards. If you don't get away, who will?"
The other children of the Zheng family were shocked. It turned out that the person who just drew the sword was the Golden Sword Guard!
"Brother Zheng Ping, you should go back first, otherwise if the Golden Sword Guard comes to question you later, you will be in big trouble."
Someone suddenly spoke.
"What?" Zheng Ping
His face turned pale and he roared angrily: "Who do you think you are? I am..."
"Zheng Ping!"
Zheng Du suddenly said in a deep voice: "Do you believe that I told you to go back to Nantianmen?"
Zheng Ping immediately deflated, his face looked ugly as if he had eaten shit. There are also people in the Zheng family who can't stand this mean-mouthed person. Now that he is embarrassed, they naturally snicker.
Zheng Ping was struck by lightning, and what happened today was the greatest insult to him.
He didn't dare to hate or blame Zheng Du, so he could only yell: "I remember this debt! I will pay it back sooner or later... Cun Jinfeng and the others, just wait!"
After Zheng Ping ran away almost crying, Zheng Xiaohong said cautiously: "Senior Brother, do you want to send someone to chase him back?"
Zheng Du shook his head and said: "He is stubborn and useless. He is too useless to support me. If he has any objections, just come to me to make trouble." As he spoke, he stared at everyone in the Zheng family, but no one dared to speak. People from Zheng Ping's lineage dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
——
Emperor Wenhong was dressed in casual clothes. It turned out to be the legendary incognito private visit. He sat firmly on the throne of Mount Tai, which was not considered to be sitting upright, but just sitting there seemed to solidify the aroma of the dishes on the entire table, and it could no longer float away.
Princess Wei Ya was a little stunned when she first walked in. She seemed not to have expected that the emperor would be waiting for her in this attitude.
"I met the Emperor of Daxia."
Wei Ya is slightly blessed.
"Your Highness Wei Ya, you're welcome."
Emperor Wenhong said: "You are a guest of Daxia...someone will come later. If you feel hungry, you can eat first."
"I still understand the rules of the human race. You cannot use your chopsticks before the guests arrive."
"Doesn't the Demon Kingdom have this rule?"
"...There are also."
Emperor Wenhong laughed twice and then said: "You don't have to be nervous... just sit down."
After Wei Ya sat down, she looked at Emperor Wen Hong with curiosity. Emperor Wen Hong chuckled and said, "This is not the first time that Your Highness Princess has seen me."
Wei Ya then withdrew her gaze. The devil has always been open and bold: "I'm just curious. I once thought that after Emperor Tiande, the prince of your dynasty would ascend the throne, but I didn't expect that the throne of Daxia now sits like this... alone. .”
However, Emperor Wen Hong was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Time is destiny, and everything is determined by fate."
