"Haha, don't be nervous, sir. I just want to show you something." After saying that, he took out a pocket from his waist and took out a token. The token glowed purple-gold and looked particularly special.
It was so dazzling that just by looking at it, the officers and soldiers were shocked and said hesitantly: "Redbud token, are you... sent by the emperor?"
Officers and soldiers have been guarding the city gates in Kyoto for several years. Of course, they have seen all kinds of tokens. But this Bauhinia token is the second time I saw it today. I was immediately frightened and turned pale. I regretted why I had to use this token in the first place.
If someone is stopped, isn’t this asking for death?
"Haha, sir, you have good taste. I am exactly the person sent by the emperor." Du Jun said with a proud look on his face and said with a casual smile.
"This villain is blind, and I stopped you. This is so audacious. I hope you will forgive me." After saying this, the officer and soldier knelt down. At this time, Du Jun had quick eyesight and quick hands, and had already helped him up before he knelt down.
he.
"My lord has done his duty faithfully, what crime is there? In our country of Mu, it is a blessing to have a lord who is so loyal to his duty and looks at this city gate. I really respect him very much." Du Jun is a scholar after all.
He talks a lot about the kindness of the country and the people, but makes the officers and soldiers feel ashamed.
"Thank you, sir," the officer and soldier stood up and kowtowed several times to Du Jun.
Then they followed Du Jun and walked over. When they came over, they looked completely different. The officers and soldiers followed Du Jun around him, flattering him and saying nice things, just like slaves.
This really surprised everyone present. Ling'er slapped Xia Ziying's arm in surprise and exclaimed: "Sister, look, Du Jun has such an ability. It's really amazing."
Xia Ziying just smiled foolishly. Although Du Jun is a scholar, judging from his performance just now, he has changed a lot in recent times, from a young scholar to one who is now so familiar with the world.
Philistine people are really incredible. It seems that it is not difficult to change a person. As long as you give him what he needs, he will try to change and then pursue everything he needs. And the current Du Jun is precisely because he got what he needs.
Something that is respect.
In the past, no matter who he was in his village, he would be looked down upon by everyone. After studying for so many years, he had not achieved any results, and he could never raise his head and walk back in an upright manner. Now he has gained the dignity he needs, his
Personality has been affirmed by others.
Du Jun came back and smiled slightly at Xia Ziying and Ling'er, "Okay, let's go!" After saying that, he got on his horse. Ling'er heard this and said happily to Du Jun, "Mr. Du, you
It’s really amazing, I convinced them with just a few words.”
Du Jun said modestly, "Haha, stop saying that, we have to hurry." After saying that, he drove the horse forward. The officers and soldiers on the side seemed to have become grandsons at this time, with a look of flattery on their faces.
.Standing in front of them, he said repeatedly: "You three, walk slowly, good going!" Seeing them leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief this time and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The three of them came to the city, found an inn, and stayed there.
After arrangements were made for Xia Ziying and Ling'er, Du Jun was about to enter the palace to meet Mu Lianlong. After saying hello, he ran towards the palace without stopping. Looking at his walking back, Xia Ziying's
Her mood suddenly became tense. She didn't know what would be waiting for her, and she was filled with general nervousness and uneasiness.
Du Jun galloped all the way and soon arrived at the palace. Since he had the Bauhinia token given by the Emperor, he had an unimpeded journey and then met Mu Lianlong.
When Mu Lianlong heard that Du Jun was coming, he knew that there must be news. He quickly stood up and asked: "Du Jun, how is the matter? Can you find Wanru?"
Du Jun knelt down and said: "The common people have found the girl. For the sake of caution, we are temporarily resting in an inn in Kyoto and waiting for the emperor's arrangements."
Mu Lianlong was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Du Jun was really not that simple. He actually accomplished this matter in such a short time. He immediately smiled and said: "Okay, Du Jun, this is
If you did a good job in this matter, I will reward you heavily. Hurry, take me with you now, I will personally welcome Wanru back." After saying that, he got ready to get up and walked outside.
Du Jun stood still, looked at him, and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Concubine Xiao?"
With just these words, Mu Lianlong's enthusiasm was completely shattered. He hesitated a little. He was so happy just now that he forgot that Concubine Xiao was here to co-operate. She had been planning to find a way to kill Xia Ziying.
Get rid of him, but Xiao Qi himself has to rely on him for the time being, and he can't touch him at all.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, rest assured, the common people will bring you Miss Xia into the palace. What do you think?" After saying this, Mu Lianlong could only nodded. A few days ago, his mother, Queen Mother Dong, also
After looking for himself, he kept praising Concubine Xiao for being smart, lovely, and versatile, and wanted to make her the mother of a country. Xiao Ling has now begun to think about his mother's side, and wants to completely give her to her.
It was easier said than done to clean it up. Things were far more difficult than he thought.
After Du Jun returned to the inn, he told the truth. After hearing this, Xia Ziying and Ling'er were speechless.
Our power has not been consolidated yet, so we really shouldn’t act too hastily.”
Du Jun smiled and said, "If Miss Xia wants to enter the palace, it will not be difficult for you. I will help you enter the palace and reunite with the emperor."
Ling'er suddenly said angrily: "What are you talking about? My master was the emperor's favorite when he was in the palace, but now that he has become the emperor, he wants to meet in secret. This makes me a servant.
I can't stand it. If the emperor is really serious, he should find a way to send my sister to the palace in a grand manner. Such sneaky behavior is really chilling."
Xia Ziying said Ling'er went a little too far, so she stopped her and said: "Ling'er, stop saying a few words."
Ling'er felt sorry for her, "Sister, I can't figure out why this is happening." After saying that, she sat down on a chair on the side with a stinking look, pouting her little mouth, looking very angry.
Seeing this, Du Jun felt very guilty. He had just promised the emperor, but it seemed that they would not agree to enter the palace like this. He had to find another way to make the emperor think that he was still useful, otherwise he would soon be
Like a shooting star, it shines for a while, but it doesn't last a lifetime.
Du Jun stepped forward and said to Xia Ziying: "Okay, please let's not discuss this matter for the time being. We have been walking for a whole day. Let's take a rest first. I will look back and think of a way to see if there is anything more suitable.
How to enter the palace."
After saying that, he went out gently and closed the door. Before leaving, his eyes couldn't help but explore Xia Ziying's body, and then closed the door.
After Du Jun left, Ling'er said to Xia Ziying: "Sister, you still care about the emperor so much, but he actually let you enter the palace like this. Are we really afraid of this Xiao Ling? No matter how powerful she is
, the power can be as powerful as the emperor, I just don’t believe in evil, think of a way, we can’t just wrong ourselves like this. When the emperor was still the prince, no one in the whole family knew that the prince liked you the most. "
Xia Ziying glanced at Ling'er and said angrily: "What if you like me? I have never been married to the prince, and I can't be considered as someone who has officially entered the palace. Just because of my identity, this palace is...
It's hard to allow it. The emperor is also worried. Didn't he agree with Du Jun just now? When the emperor heard that I returned to Kyoto, he was so excited that he almost rushed over. It shows that he doesn't want to keep secretly with me like this. "
Ling'er looked at the melancholy master in front of her and walked over with a little disappointment, "Sister, why are you so miserable? Every time you are about to see the light, you will encounter many unexpected things.
The ups and downs.”
"Haha, maybe this is God's test for me. In this world, there is not much luck, there are just sufferings one after another. As the master said, people come to the world to suffer the pain of the world.
, when you get rid of this stinky skin that day, your merits will be considered complete. Whether you go to heaven or go to hell, you will have to go through a lot of painful suffering." Xia Ziying seemed to have a profound enlightenment, and gave Ling'er in front of her eyes.
Impressed.
"Hey, sister, I heard you speaking Zen language is really profound. No one would believe you if you said you didn't know the words. I'm afraid no one would believe me if I, Ling'er, knew the words, because our ideas are inherently different." Ling'er said.
Er said mischievously.
Xia Ziying smiled bitterly and asked: "Are you praising me, sister, or are you trying to hurt me? Why do you feel uncomfortable hearing these words?"
Ling'er chuckled, "Even if Ling'er had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to hurt you, sister. If I hadn't met you, sister, Ling'er, maybe I would only serve others in this life, just like a puppet, and then wait until I grow old.
, find someone to marry, have a lot of children, and live a miserable life."
Xia Ziying knocked her on the head and said with a smile: "It's not bad. A lot of people come here like this, why can't you?"
Ling'er turned her head stubbornly, "Humph, what's the difference between me and a piece of wood? I don't have any thoughts, and I have no pursuits or goals. I might as well die now."
Xia Ziying said a strange "Huh" and asked, "So, Ling'er has undergone new changes now. Let me tell you, what thoughts and pursuits do you have?" Then she stared at Ling'er's face.
The little face asked.
When asked, Ling'er's face suddenly turned red, and the redness reached her neck, "If I tell you, sister, you can't make fun of me, okay?"
