Chapter 181: The height of the temple, the distance of rivers and lakes(1/2)
The swagger of Ye Chen and others made Li Linhu and others dare not act rashly, let alone King Jingwen and his ilk who were far away in Gu Xindao.
"Chenzi, do you think we should go around and buy something for your wife after we get to Gyeonggi?" Chen Bing said as he walked.
Ye Chen looked back at his brother who had fought all the way with him, and was filled with emotion. He remembered that when he was still that young boy, Bingzi would always follow him, and no matter what delicious food he had, he would get half of it, and even
More. But at this moment, he put his head on his waistband and followed him. Ye Chen didn't know whether this was right or wrong. Every time he thought about this, Ye Chen always felt sorry for Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, so he saw him off.
The deliciousness of the black fish soup is still unforgettable. Bringing Chen Bing back safely is the greatest reward for my uncle and aunt.
Ye Chen and his group looked up at the three characters Gyeonggi Road on the city wall, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"We are selling sesame cakes. Freshly baked sesame cakes are so delicious!" the owner of the sesame cake stall shouted.
"My stomach is growling again!" Ye Chen said helplessly while staring at Chen Bing's belly. The monsters behind him also looked at each other and smiled. The intrigues and dragnets along the way made these people's tense nerves unable to relax.
.
Ye Chen looked at these brothers who had followed him through life and death, and waved his hand: "Eat sesame cakes!"
A group of big and thick men rushed towards the sesame cake stall like wolves. If the boss hadn't just heard Ye Chen say "eat sesame cakes", he would have probably run away carrying the stall.
The envoys from the two countries in the mission looked at the scene in front of them and were not polite at all. After all, people are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel panic!
Inside the city gate of Gyeonggi Province, Yin Wenfei, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and a group of people were anxiously waiting for Ye Chen and others. Suddenly they heard the noise outside the city gate, so he waved back and said, "Go and see who is making noise outside.
This is the capital of the capital, so you must not be arrogant!"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Yes!" A guard rushed out of the city.
After a while, the guard came back and reported the truth: "Sir Yin, we are the guards escorting the mission. They seem to be very hungry and are eating sesame cakes at the sesame cake stall."
Yin Wenfei felt that he was not feeling well. His dignified head of the Ceremony Department came to greet the envoys under the scorching sun. They actually ate sesame cakes outside the city. Isn't the meal prepared by the officials delicious?
Outside the city gate, Ye Chen was eating sesame seed cakes and thinking about something. Chen Bing was chewing sesame seed cakes and said: "Chenzi, I have always heard that the wonton soup in Gyeonggi Province is a perfect match with sesame seed cakes. How about I go?"
Can the stall next door give everyone a bowl?"
Only then did Ye Chen come back to his senses and said with a smile: "Go ahead and put some more snacks for the brothers!"
"okay!"
At this time, Chi walked up to Ye Chen and whispered in a low voice: "Boss, it seems that the head of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Yin Wen Feiyin, is in the city. He should be here to greet the delegation."
Ye Chen cast his gaze into the city, and sure enough he saw Yin Wenfei standing at the front wearing official uniform, but Ye Chen did not stand up immediately to salute, but said to Bing: "Let's eat sesame cakes, Bingzi went to buy Chaos again."
Come on, you can have some too soon." Zhi walked straight towards Chen Ran with a half-smile but not a smile.
Ye Chen no longer looked at Yin Wenfei and others in the city. Since they were here, why not just go out of the city to greet them and show off the demeanor of a great country. What is the meaning of being in the city. The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more angry he became. Could it be the will of the emperor? He
He stood up, patted his head with melon seeds, and walked straight towards the Chaos stall where Chen Ran was. There was no problem that a bowl of wontons couldn't solve.
Yin Wenfei looked at the group of people in the distance and was very angry. I have been waiting for you here with my people early in the morning, and you guys are still leisurely eating wontons.
In fact, if Yin Wenfei knew what Ye Chen and his party went through a few nights ago, he might not have such thoughts, and might even go out of the city to meet them.
"Master Yin doesn't look too happy!" A strong voice came from behind Yin Wenfei.
The person who came was none other than Huangfu Leng, the cold-faced King of Hell who was feared by everyone. Yin Wenfei quickly turned around and saluted and said hello: "I have met Mr. Huangfu."
Yin Wenfei was even more depressed now. It was just a job to welcome the envoys, so why did he bother the head of the Supervision Department to do it himself?
Is it possible that there are still criminals who want to commit murder in the inner city of Gyeonggi Province? Yin Wenfei looked at Huangfu Leng with a puzzled expression, and Huangfu Leng smiled but hesitated to speak.
At this moment, another thin voice came from the back of the welcoming team: "Master Yin, you are not late, you are here. You can be considered as catching up."
Yin Wenfei is very familiar with this little voice, this little sound. It is the voice of Qiu Sihai, the personal steward of His Majesty the current Emperor.
Yin Wenfei hurriedly turned around, bowed and cupped his hands: "Eunuch Qiu, why did you come in person?"
Qiu Sihai was out of breath. He panted for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty's holy decree, let Ye Chen and An Jianghui and others enter the palace to see you."
Yin Wenfei was puzzled, where did this kid come from? Supervisor Huangfu Leng and the emperor came to take care of him, maybe he missed something! On the other hand, Huangfu Leng stood aside and smiled without saying a word.
Qiu Sihai looked at Huangfu and said with a sneer: "Master Huangfu, why don't you go and urge brother Ye Chen on behalf of the Ze family? Don't keep your majesty waiting too long."
Huangfu Leng leaned over slightly to greet him, and then walked towards the sesame cake stall outside the city gate.
"Boss, give me a piece of sesame seed cake too!"
The owner of the sesame cake stall didn't even raise his head and replied directly: "No, no, please come back tomorrow."
Huangfu sneered and said nothing, and walked directly to the table where Ye Chen was sitting. At this time, Ye Chen seemed to have realized something. He turned to look at the person who came. When he saw that it was his nominal boss, he immediately stood up and bowed, saying flatteringly: "Huangfu
Sir, what kind of wind has brought you here?"
Huangfu Leng pointed at Yin Wenfei, the head of the city's etiquette department, and said, "Go and say hello to me. You are a first-class official after all. I have been standing there waiting for you for a long time!" In fact, Huangfu Leng was not afraid of Ye Chen's neglect.
He has selfish motives. If this brat takes over from him, he will still be able to use the high officials of the imperial court.
Ye Chen glanced sideways and said with a slight smile: "Sir, we'll be ready soon. The brothers are really hungry. Besides, the master has been waiting for such a long time, so it's not too late."
Huangfu Leng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, raised his foot and kicked it. Ye Chen seemed to have foreseen it, and retreated to avoid it, but he still ran towards Yin Wenfei and others obediently. Chen Bing also noticed this, and
Demons, monsters and others saluted Lord Huangfu.
"Sir Yin, Ye Chen was ordered to escort the delegation to Beijing. Fortunately, he lived up to his order."
Yin Wenfei looked at the young man in front of him, then at Qiu Sihai beside him and Huangfu Leng in the distance. He did not dare to neglect and said in return: "Brother Ye, thank you for your hard work. You can go with Eunuch Qiu. Leave the people of the mission to me."
That’s fine.”
Only then did Ye Chen notice the eunuch standing next to Yin Wenfei and bowed slightly in greeting.
Qiu Sihai didn't wait for him to speak before he said: "Brother Ye Chen, hurry up and take your people with me to the palace to meet the saint. Don't let His Majesty and the old man wait too long."
Ye Chen was stunned. He didn't know what His Majesty summoned him to do. But after thinking about it, he had to do as he was told. There would be no good fruits in going against the biggest official in the world.
Ye Chen and others will never forget the majesty of the palace. Even though they have experienced life and death, entering this palace wall, they still feel a little nervous from the bottom of their hearts. Only the demons and monsters feel as comfortable as going home.
Qi noticed everyone's nervousness and gave a rare smile: "Brothers, don't be nervous. Your Majesty is an eternal wise king. You will know it when you meet him."
Chen Bing muttered: "Mother, this is the first time I have seen such a big place. How many crops must be planted here." After hearing this, Grand Eunuch Qiu staggered and almost fell over. He didn't understand.
, Why did Your Majesty have to summon these people?
In the Anhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan sat peacefully on the steps in front of the desk. He seemed to be thinking about something good, with a slight smile on his lips from time to time. The little eunuch who was waiting next to him was very puzzled, what happened to His Majesty today?
It was different from usual. He was a little too happy. He had not seen His Majesty like this for almost a year.
"Ye Chen brings everyone from the Anjiang Association to meet him!"
Zhu Chengyuan muttered: "It's finally here."
"Xuan!"
Zhu Chengyuan looked at Ye Chen, who was leading the way, and couldn't help but be surprised. This young man really
However, no wonder Huangfu Leng and Jin Song favored him, but he was a bit dark.
Ye Chen, Chen Bing and others walked forward slowly, thinking about what Eunuch Qiu had just said, never look up! His Highness stood still, Ye Chen and others all knelt down: "Your Majesty, long live my emperor.
Long live!"
"Stay flat, don't be restrained!" Zhu Chengyuan looked at everyone with their heads drooped, and wondered: "Why are you all lowering your heads, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Ye Chen still lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, please don't raise your head. Eunuch Qiu said so."
Qiu Sihai's heart is filled with ten thousand galloping horses. This guy is not taking the usual path.
Zhu Chengyuan was overjoyed when he heard Ye Chen's answer. Judging from his words, deeds, and what he had experienced before, he had a mature personality, a resolute personality, and bravery, but he did not lose his true nature and was a little naughty.
, which fits exactly where he wants it to be.
It was only then that Ye Chen raised his head and saw clearly the old man standing above the main hall. He felt a little arrogant among the vicissitudes of life. Is this what the overlord of the world looks like? Ye Chen thought like this.
Zhu Chengyuan: "My dear friends, you have been working hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work. We are so lucky to have you in our country!"
…
A burst of vigorous mutual compliments brought the greatest official in the world and the most inconspicuous person closer to each other.
"Ye Chen stays, and everyone else should go down and rest. Qiu Sihai will take good care of you." Zhu Chengyuan gave the order.
"Hey!" Qiu Sihai led everyone back.
At this time, Huangfu Leng walked in and stared at Ye Chen with a smile, which made Ye Chen feel like a fish on a knife, waiting to be slaughtered.
The emperor said: "Young man, you may have rarely heard of me, but you don't know that your name, Ye Chen, is often mentioned here."
This is Ye Chen's first time meeting a saint. He doesn't think there's anything scary about it. The old man in front of him seems to be no different from a country man. Wait! Why is your name mentioned so often here?
Ye Chen was a little panicked. He felt that this was not a good thing.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be able to see through Ye Chen's heart and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. Since you are from Huangfu, I believe you are not a bad person. To be honest, what reward do you want? It's silver.
Or do you want an official?"
Huangfu on the side had a cold look on his face, "What do you mean, someone who belongs to me is not a good person!"
Ye Chen seemed to have made up his mind. He boldly took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want any reward. Since what happened a few days ago, I have thought a lot and figured out a lot. I want to
Take Chen Bing home, and as for the Anjiang meeting, I have to trouble Lord Huangfu to choose another virtuous person."
