Not long after, a man who looked like a waiter approached. Huang Yao quickly stepped forward and said a few words respectfully, then returned to Niu Yuanping and said:
"I am not allowed to enter the inner palace at will without an order. Master Niu, please follow the palace attendants to see Lord Yan." Niu Yuanping nodded and responded lightly:
"I understand." Then, Huang Yao left, and he continued to move forward following the palace attendant whose name he didn't even know.
As he walked, he looked at the Yan Palace carefully. I originally thought that the Criminal Court was already grand enough, but now after seeing the palace of the Yan Kingdom, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart.
The Criminal Court looked like ants in front of the palace! The two really pale in comparison to the big one. If you are here, if there is no one to guide you, you will probably get lost.
I couldn’t help but think to myself,:
"It seems that the mission assigned by the dragon girl is not that easy to accomplish..." Even if you have a map in hand, you want to find the black dogs on the twelve demon-destroying barrier formations in such a huge palace. Skeletons are really not an easy task.
What's more, the position of the formation eye marked on the map was inferred by the dragon girl Yu Yixue based on the layout of the palace... If there was an error in the inference, it would be a thousand miles away.
Besides, I'm not sure how long King Yan will allow him to stay in the palace. Therefore, this task is not easy to accomplish.
You can only take your time and take it one step at a time. Niu Yuanping was not in a hurry. He decided to go at his own pace.
The more difficult the task is, the greater his value is in Yu Yixue's eyes and the safer he is. The more time you can buy to find a way out and regain your freedom, the more time you have!
At this moment, he put his mind back and walked forward behind the palace attendant. As he moved, Niu Yuanping silently observed the layout of the palace.
I saw the Jade Palace and the Purple Gold Palace rising and falling one after another. The eaves at the corners of the palace are lined up in rows. The wide roads lead directly to the Silver Tower and the Golden Pavilion.
While the red fans were opening and closing, pairs of maids Jiao'e walked slowly and calmly. On the Orchid Terrace of the Guidian Palace, you can gaze around at the exquisite objects.
The red couplets and embroidered pillars are surrounded by fragrant wind and surrounded by peonies. The floor-to-ceiling windows engraved with roses are vaguely covered by curtains inlaid with jade shafts. There is a figure of a noble lady, gently swinging her fan, standing by the window and looking out.
They may be full of curiosity about Niu Yuanping, who has just entered the palace. Niu Yuanping followed the palace waiter and continued to move forward. Not long after, a tower appeared directly in front of him.
The gentle wind blew gently over the sill, causing the bead curtains and curly seals on the balcony to flutter and dance. Under the balcony, there are mushrooms and poplar branches all over. Gardeners carefully water and cultivate them, and the water vapor evaporates into mist.
Following them up the stairs, the palace hall appeared in front of them. Niu Yuanping was led by the waiter and walked in slowly.
On both sides of the corridor in the main hall, there are beauties in feathers, scattering flowers and rain with their hands, laying out a fragrant carpet. Stepping on the petals and walking through the corridor, you will find a spacious courtyard with maids in colorful clothes holding five-color round fans, waving fragrance for the nobles to enjoy the cool breeze.
Many civil servants and dignitaries were sitting or standing in the hall. On the jade steps stood clever boys and girls.
On the high platform stood military commanders, princes, princesses, and consorts... In front of the copywriters, there sat scholars and pen clerks, and beside the emperor's throne stood maids.
You don't need to think about this formation to know that it is exactly what the palace palace of the royal family deserves to possess. At this time, he had completely entered the palace of Prince Yan. Niu Yuanping quickly raised his head and looked up at the main hall.
At the top of the jade steps, on the dragon bed in the palace, there was a figure sitting upright. He was wearing a royal robe and an imperial crown on his head.
The bright yellow robe is embroidered with the pattern of dragons rising from the sea. Under the turbulent golden waves at the corners of the robe, the sleeves are slightly fluttered by the fragrant wind.
His face is kind and has the appearance of an elder. Although he is rumored to be in his fifties, he does not look very old.
The eyebrows at the corners of his eyebrows were lightly drooped, his pupils as black as ink jade shone with warmth, and his plump face reflected the morning sun. He was not angry but dignified, and he was born with nobility.
He is Yan Huanren, the eighth generation in power in the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom. The palace attendant who led the way stepped forward first and bowed to report:
"Your Majesty, King Yan, is here to meet the demon-slayer Niu Yuanping." Yan Huanren hummed slightly, then set his sights on Niu Yuanping.
He looked up and down at the rather handsome-looking demon slayer. Then he opened his mouth and asked,:
"Are you the one who first reported Qi Fei, the acting director of the Demon Suppression Department, to rebel?" Hearing the king of a country's question, Niu Yuanping stepped forward, gave a brief salute, and then responded calmly:
"That's right." Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, an unknown person on the high platform next to him suddenly stared at him and yelled angrily:
"Bold! You actually don't kneel down! How bold!" Upon hearing this, Niu Yuanping frowned.
Although he has been in this world for so long, he rarely kneels and kowtows to others.
I always feel that there is gold at the knees of a man. If he can kneel down easily, he will not kneel down. He will hold his hands in front of him, and at most he will bend down for a moment. That’s all he wants to do. Why do you have to be so over the top?
Besides, the purpose of his coming to the palace was not to get any important use... he just wanted to complete the task.
After all, I still don't want to deal too much with these gangsters. But then I thought about it. If I want to have the qualifications to stay in the palace in a short period of time, I really have to leave a better impression on King Yan... Besides, since others have already raised it, they are picking on him... It’s not easy to muddle through.
Whatever! Just kneel down, you won't lose a piece of meat. So, he saluted King Yan again on the dragon bed and said:
"I come from a rural background and don't know the etiquette of the royal palace. Please forgive me." After saying that, he continued:
"I respect His Majesty King Yan very much and am willing to serve His Majesty with all my loyalty. Otherwise, I would not risk my life to expose Qi Fei's rebellion. I will now kneel down to you with the highest respect." He said with some flattery. Of smooth speaking.
After finishing these words, Niu Yuanping knelt down towards the throne. Recently, I have been kneeling a bit more frequently... In order to survive, I knelt down to flatter the dragon girl Yu Yixue.
Now, in order to gain more opportunities for himself, he could only kneel down and salute King Yan. In the final analysis, it was because I was controlled by evil spirits... I had to do things I didn't want to do.
If you can be free, then naturally the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump! Who has nothing to do to flatter these royal families?
There is no other way, for the sake of the future, I can only suffer some grievances for the time being. Niu Yuanping didn't think it mattered. A man is a true husband if he can bend and stretch!
At this moment, Yan Huanren, the king of Yan in the throne, saw that he finally knelt down to salute, and nodded with satisfaction. He waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, you are the hero who first accused Qi Fei of rebelling. No need to be too polite, just stand up and speak!" Niu Yuanping responded:
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up.
