"good!"
Without any hesitation, Chu Jin directly agreed to Su Chen's request. He just entered the palace and met Emperor Liu. It was as simple as going home.
After saying that, the two of them set off directly to Luzi Street. They were not far from the imperial palace, but within a short moment, the two of them arrived at the last high vermilion wall outside the palace, the imperial city!
And the palace is just behind this high vermilion wall!
Five arches are spread out on both sides in a medium-high, left-right and short shape. On the tallest red door in the middle, eighty-one gold-plated door nails are arranged in nine rows horizontally and nine vertically. The left and right arches are arranged in descending order.
What identity does it symbolize, and which door to enter the imperial city through.
This is the rule.
Of course, only for mortals.
When the Shu Kingdom was established, Su Chen was there and knew this rule. At that time, the etiquette officer asked Su Chen and Yin Jiao to take the right door to enjoy the courtesy of the duke.
For those who have no official position or title in the court, this is already the highest treatment, symbolizing that under Emperor Liu, he is above ten thousand people.
As a result, Liu Jie was furious and almost beheaded the official!
Just kidding, if you give Liu Jie three more courages, you won't dare to condescend to him.
So, Su Chen, Yin Jiao, and Liu Jie entered the imperial city through the middle arch.
Chu Jin naturally led Su Chen towards the archway in the middle. When the golden-armored guard saw that it was him, he just turned a blind eye and let them walk in.
A long time ago, I don't know who the first Emperor Liu was, and he knew that the Suppressing Dragon Sect was the most important thing in the Shu Kingdom, so he ordered that the leader of the Suppressing Dragon Sect was on the same throne as the emperor, shared the same rituals, and was included in the Ministry of Rites. Later generations could not change it, otherwise it would be treason. !
In fact, every Emperor Liu knew very well that if the Suppressing Dragon Sect was there, then the Kingdom of Shu would be there.
Entering the imperial city, there is still a high vermilion wall, with only a narrow passage in the middle large enough for three people to pass side by side.
Looking up, you can only see the sky no larger than the size of your hand, which gives people a feeling of confinement and repression.
"This is just the first one. There are three more walls after that, and then there is the real palace."
Chu Jin complained, "If you don't want to attract attention, you can just fly in and save trouble."
Su Chen basically had the same idea. With a few more walls, who could be defended?
People who want you dead will try their best to find you no matter where you are hiding.
After passing through several high walls, a series of magnificent palaces appeared in front of Su Chen and Yin Jiao.
When a eunuch guarding the exit saw them appearing, he went up to greet them and said respectfully: "Greetings to Sect Master Chu."
Chu Jin glanced at him and asked directly: "Where is Emperor Liu?"
The eunuch respectfully replied: "At this time, the Holy One should be handling the memorial in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
"Um."
Chu Jin snorted in response, and the eunuch wisely took a few steps forward, came in front of them, and made a gesture of invitation, "Master Chu, please come with me."
After that, he led the way, leading Su Chen and Chu Jin to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
…
Just the appearance of the palace is gorgeously decorated, with a plaque made of mahogany and the three gilded Chinese characters of Hall of Supreme Harmony engraved on it, hanging on the door.
The eunuch led the way here, then stood obediently by the door, knocked on the door and shouted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Master Chu is here."
After a while, with a prolonged "creak" sound, the door of the Palace of Supreme Harmony opened inward, revealing the figure of a young eunuch, lowering his head and turning sideways in an inviting gesture, "Master Chu, please come in."
Su Chen and Chu Jin immediately stepped in.
When you enter the hall and turn right, you will see a desk. Liu Huang is sitting behind the desk, writing furiously with the memorial that is as high as him.
Hearing the footsteps, Liu Huang said without raising his head, "Sect Master Chu, wait a moment, I will handle it soon."
Generally speaking, when hearing Liu Huang say this, one should wait for Liu Huang to deal with the pile of memorials before talking about the matter.
But the person who came was Chu Jin, so there was no such thing...
After hearing these words, he walked up directly and said calmly: "Are you still putting on airs for me?"
Hearing this, Liu Huang made a movement with his hands, a gloomy look flashed between his brows, and the murderous intent and displeasure in his eyes were clear and strong.
The young eunuch walking behind couldn't help but tremble when he heard these words as soon as he closed the door.
This was the first time he met Chu Jin, the rumored master of Zhenlong Sect. Did he always talk like this to the Holy One?
For other princes and ministers, they should be waiting respectfully at this time. I dare to say that, they are tired of life.
"Sect Leader Chu is right."
Liu Huang raised his head, with an elegant smile on his face, and said helplessly: "How can I put on airs for you? It's just that I do have important things here."
"Then if my sect comes to see you for something, it doesn't count as an important matter?"
Chu Jin said directly, "This sect master will not come here unless he has something to do. For a big man like you, you still can't tell which is more important?"
"Well…"
Liu Huang was speechless and too lazy to talk to Chu Jin. He put down his pen, stared at the other party, and asked, "Then why is Sect Leader Chu here?"
He actually didn't want to see Chu Jin. If he did, something must have happened. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, he felt uneasy when meeting him.
After all, this man is the second most powerful person in Shu, and no one dares to say he is ahead of him.
"Good thing." Chu Jin said lightly, then motioned to Liu Huang to look at Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, this sect leader thinks you should know him."
Hearing this, Liu Huang raised his eyebrows in surprise. Of course he knew that Su Chen was the one whose name appeared in his name the most recently.
This is the first time to see a real person.
Nodding, he looked at Chu Jin and asked, "Is it a good thing that Sect Leader Chu brought him here?"
"Dong dong dong..."
Before Chu Jin could say anything, the knock on the door rang again, and the eunuch's voice from before came from outside, "Your Majesty, Grand Master is here to see you!"
There was a sudden silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Emperor Liu waved his hand, and the young eunuch immediately went to open the door.
"Crunch..."
As soon as the palace door was opened, a figure couldn't wait to get in, turned right on the familiar road, knelt down with a plop, buried his head and shouted: "See you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished shouting, Qin Huai noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall. When he looked up, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
I saw Chu Jin standing directly in front of him while he was kneeling...
The latter quietly moved to the right, revealing Huang Huang behind the desk.
"Ahem, my Taihe Hall is quite lively today."
Liu Huang smiled lightly and said, "Master, no courtesy."
Qin Huai responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Huang nodded slightly and glanced at Chu Jin aside to see, this is the correct way to meet me.
Qin Huai stood up and looked at the situation in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was beyond his expectation that the leader of Zhenlong Sect, Chu Jin, would be here.
But when he saw Su Chen, he couldn't help but be startled. Two unexpected people appeared here.
But... this speed is too fast!
After the martial arts competition ended, he rushed here as fast as he could, and Su Chen was actually faster than him.
But then he thought about it and realized that Su Chen had left the scene early, and he figured it out again.
"Grand Master, you came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to find me. What are you doing?"
Liu Huang called his attention.
"cough…"
Qin Huai glanced at Su Chen covertly and said it in front of others, feeling unnatural for some reason.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I came here specifically to report on the status of today's martial arts competition."
He thought for a moment, and finally decided not to point out Su Chen directly, but to mention it in a subtle way, believing that Liu Huang would understand.
Liu Huang didn't know whether he understood or not, so he nodded directly and let him speak.
"The results of today's martial arts examination have come out. I feel that the matter discussed before can be implemented!"
During the previous discussion, there were only two of them, so they must be able to understand what they said.
In fact, Liu Huang already understood it when he heard it, but he was a little confused as to why he didn't mention Su Chen's name directly.
After thinking about it, he glanced at Su Chen beside him and suddenly understood.
“If it can be implemented, let’s do it!”
Liu Huang said.
Su Chen was speechless. Are you trying to rub other people's intelligence on the ground?
Since it was said to be a martial arts competition, this person must be at the scene.
What happened in the martial arts competition today?
Then there is nothing better than a melee.
Who won the melee?
He won.
Then in front of the person involved, even if you don't mention his name, you can know that it is him you are talking about.
After Liu Huang finished speaking, he gave Qin Huai a look. The latter understood his meaning, folded his hands and bowed, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
"Um."
After Qin Huai left, Emperor Liu looked at Chu Jin, "So, what is the good thing that Sect Master Chu said?"
Chu Jin crossed his arms and snorted softly, "Humph, of course it's a good thing as you planned."
Obviously, he also understood who Qin Huai was referring to when he didn't mention his name at all.
Liu Huang did not speak, but showed an interesting expression.
Chu Jin continued: "This sect leader heard that the Hundred Dynasties War is about to begin."
"In the past, when there was no one available in the court, successive Emperor Liu would ask for help from the Zhenlong Sect."
"This year, someone in the sect happened to be interested in the Hundred Dynasties War, so I brought him to ask."
Liu Huang's face looked unhappy when he heard this. The young eunuch on the side shrank himself aside and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. This sect leader was too fierce and dared to say anything.
Asking Zhenlong Sect for help, doesn't it mean that there is no one in Shu?
In such a huge country, Shu could not even find a few people, and had to borrow people from a sect.
"Um……"
Liu Huang's expression changed from gloomy to bright, but finally he regained his composure and looked at Su Chen, "So it's him?"
Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, this coincides with your ideas."
Seeing that the plan was exposed directly, Liu Huang did not change anything and just nodded, "Yes, I intend to let Su Chen participate in the Hundred Dynasties War and come back with a good ranking for the Kingdom of Shu."
"The report just given by the Grand Master just proved the excellence of the disciples of your sect, which is in line with my thoughts."
"but……"
At this point, Liu Huang suddenly left a turning point, "No matter how strong a person is, his power is limited after all."
"My plan is that the Hundred Dynasties War against Shu will send ten people to form a team. Is your lord Su Chen confident that he can lead a team of nine people to achieve good results?"
At the end of the sentence, Liu Huang's tone turned out to be teasing.
Chu Jin was a little displeased when he heard this. He always begged for it in the past, but this time he took the initiative today, but he was disliked.
"Of course you can."
At this time, Su Chen said calmly: "As long as the people you send are not useless, I can get you a good result."
