The long-bearded eunuch glanced at the young Taoist priest, and his smile faded little by little: "It's a long story. I call you Master Xiao Luo. You should know why His Highness the Crown Prince sent you to the palace, right?"
"Of course I have to ask Pindao to tidy up the prince's appearance!"
The young Taoist priest nodded, pointed to the leather box on his waist and said, "This is a set of tools made by Master Luo himself. I always carry this with me."
The long-bearded eunuch nodded: "His Royal Highness has been feeling a little... unhappy these past few days. He has already executed several eunuchs who were serving the guests, and now no one dares to get in front of His Highness. Our family really has no choice. Suddenly I remembered that Master Luo from the previous dynasty, although he had already become an immortal, might still have a descendant still alive. After asking, it turned out to be the case, so I came to invite him."
As he spoke, he stared into the young Taoist priest's eyes: "Master Luo was able to straighten up the appearance of the two previous generations of kings. Since Master Xiao Luo has to pass on his mantle, it's not a big deal, right?"
Hearing that this trip was so dangerous, the young Taoist priest couldn't help but look solemn, but now that he was in the car, it would not be so easy to think about it anymore.
He took a deep breath and asked solemnly: "Mr. Longbeard, can you tell me what has caused His Highness the Crown Prince to be troubled recently? It's not that I want to spy on the Crown Prince, but I really don't know what is going on. What if I offend His Highness by being confused? Implicate Nagasu ***?"
The long-bearded waiter's face changed slightly: "Master Xiao Luo, what you said makes sense! We see that you are a measured person who knows how to advance and retreat... so be it! Let's take some risks and say a few words..."
"I would like to hear the details!" The young Taoist priest immediately acted like he was listening attentively.
The long-bearded eunuch immediately put his head over and whispered: "There is a princess in the Yuanhou Mansion who is a direct descendant. She has been in and out of the palace since she was a child. She and the prince... have a very close relationship. The original king and all the nobles in the palace are happy to see it. A few months ago, the Fubo Army triumphantly returned, and the king already intended to propose marriage. Who knew..."
Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, the young Taoist simply took the initiative to speak: "Everyone in the country knows that Mrs. Yuanhou is the only sister in the world. Her daughter and the prince are cousins, and they are the closest. Listen to Mr. Changxu. I mean, these two noble people have been childhood sweethearts and have been close since childhood. They are a match made in heaven, so what else could happen?"
The long-bearded eunuch sighed: "Three days ago, something happened to His Highness... something went wrong. He locked himself in the study room in Shaoyang courtyard and refused to see anyone. All the people who were serving him were kicked out, even those who delivered meals. No servants are allowed in."
"After the princess heard about it, she came to visit in person. She was also turned away. I don't know what the two nobles said through the door. In the end, the princess actually left in tears."
Having said this, the long-bearded chamberlain's eyes had some inexplicable meaning: "I shouldn't tell you these things. In fact, after the two nobles broke up on bad terms, His Highness summoned several daily attendants in succession. The chamberlains went in. Logically speaking, these people are all experienced in errands and highly trusted by His Highness, but without exception, they were all executed by the Crown Prince himself!"
The young Taoist priest couldn't help being stunned, and quickly lowered his voice: "Why is this? Even the common people in the city know that His Royal Highness is the most lenient towards others, and the palace servants around him cannot bear to be harshly criticized when they make mistakes. How could he take his anger to this point and kill him with his own hands? Number of people?"
His eyes flashed, and he solemnly raised his hand to the other party: "May I ask Mr. Changxu, what happened to your highness?"
"I won't go into details with you. You'll know it when you enter Shaoyang Courtyard later."
The long-bearded eunuch shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Master Xiao Luo, just be extremely careful and use all your skills. Just remember one thing, after you see His Highness, what about the princess?" Don’t even mention it, not even the Yuan Hous and his wife, Fu Bojun…oh, don’t even mention the Snow Chi Beast!”
At this moment, the young Taoist priest still didn't know that during this trip, he was dragged to death by the frightened chamberlains.
It's no wonder that for such a trivial matter as hiring a hairstylist from outside the palace, a bearded man personally took care of it, and even used the most prestigious Snow Chi beast chariot in the capital.
The long-bearded gentleman in front of him was willing to tell him the truth, which was considered extremely kind.
Immediately, the young Taoist priest bowed his hands to the other party and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Changxu for speaking out!"
The long-bearded waiter waved his hands indifferently, his face
There was no hint of guilt at all.
In his opinion, isn't this what Master Xiao Luo's lineage eats? As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the prince is also a king. How can he not take any risks?
Do you really think that Luo Zhenren back then could please two previous kings just by shaving his hair and face? Not to mention that there is also a cruel and ruthless king who will subdue his country. Indifferent Shouyi Zhenren? Hey! I'm afraid only a fool would believe it.
But then again, now that the golden sign of "rectifying Long Yan" has been hung up, it is certainly not easy to obtain, but it will only be even harder to keep it!
Whether this Master Ronaldinho will prosper or die will depend on his ability and destiny.
The silent atmosphere in the car did not last long, and the Snow Lobster slowly stopped outside a palace gate.
The long-bearded chamberlain took the young Taoist priest out of the car, and the gatekeeper checked his waist tag and searched his whole body.
During the inspection, the leather box on the young Taoist priest's waist was paid close attention to. Everything in it was traced one by one, and the material and size were recorded.
While waiting patiently, the young Taoist priest's eyes couldn't help but wander around the tall, round-waisted gatekeepers wearing green armor.
After struggling for a long time, the two finally passed through the palace gate and stepped into a not-so-wide corridor.
The long-bearded chamberlain then introduced softly as he walked: "Those imperial guards just now were all warriors selected from thousands of people in the Wuchang camp. When they were placed on the battlefield, one of them would be as good as ten. They were called Hengxing Jieshi! That one when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded Neihuang Hou, who has great military exploits, stands out from among the rampant warriors of Wuchang Camp!"
The young Taoist priest nodded and said with emotion: "They are indeed rare warriors. This time I have learned a lot! I really can't imagine how heroic Neihuang Hou must have been when he led eight hundred soulless men to destroy cities and open mountains, and to run rampant across the world. !」
"Our family is very experienced. I don't think the tools passed down by Master Luo are so exquisite and complicated!" The long-bearded servant pointed at the leather box on the young Taoist priest's waist and praised.
Hearing this, the young Taoist priest naturally had to say a few words modestly: "It's just a matter of dividing it more carefully according to the purpose. In addition to several types of knives for shaving and shaving, there are combs and grates for combing hair. When going to court, This set of things has been circulated in the palace. Apart from the fact that it is made by Master Luo himself, my set is nothing in terms of material or craftsmanship."
As he spoke, he looked around as discreetly as possible, wanting to see more of what was going on inside. Unfortunately, there are high walls on both sides of the corridor, blocking most of the view. Only some towering eaves of the main hall can be seen.
The two people's footsteps were not slow, but they still walked for a long time before they arrived in front of a large palace named Shaoyangyuan.
This time, accompanied by a long-bearded chamberlain, the young Taoist priest walked through the corridors and around the hall without any obstruction, and finally entered a very quiet and elegant courtyard.
There are only three main rooms in the courtyard. There are several coral trees with green leaves under the south window.
Now is the fruit-bearing season, and these coral trees are full of fruits. The fruits are orange-red, plump, and as clear as jade, which is very pleasing to the eye.
The long-bearded chamberlain raised his hand to signal the young Taoist priest to stop, then walked alone to the closed door of the main hall, hunched over and whispered softly: "Your Highness, I have invited Master Xiao Luo here."
The young Taoist priest stood in the courtyard, his eyes lowered and silent. The long-bearded chamberlain never asked him his name and Taoist number.
So far, the only reason why he can stand here is because he is regarded as the descendant of Zhen Luo.
It seemed like a long time before someone at the door finally answered: "Let him come in by himself."
Hearing this, the young Taoist priest suddenly raised his head and saw the long-bearded eunuch gently nodding towards him. He immediately walked quickly up the steps and pushed lightly on the closed door.
Squeak...the door opened.
The young Taoist priest smiled casually, shook his sleeves, and walked in with his head held high.
