Chapter Eight The Palace

The time and space traveled back is a quarter of an hour and nearly half an hour, which is consistent with the ancient time.

She worked hard, and with the help of old man Battelle, she led the 'Thunder God' to the general's mansion a few miles away. The horse raised its hooves uneasily, raised its head and neighed. Under the moonlight, she looked slender.

The shadow is cast on the grass, like a bamboo branch pulled out of the ground, looking so out of tune with the environment.

Battle was even more careful. He helped the distracted young man hold the reins of the horse, and earnestly told her to kneel down when she saw the deputy general later and call her "sir." They were low-status servants in the general's palace, and they would definitely not have the opportunity to see the general, but he had no chance of meeting the general.

Ma's lieutenant is also their god, so they must not offend him.

Getting closer and closer to the light.

The black thing she thought was a piece of cloth turned out to be a long spear strung up with strong hemp rope. There was a black felt umbrella on top of the spear, which was used to shield the guards from the wind, snow and sunlight.

It was exposed to the sun. There was a small felt tent outside the gun, and the tent was also guarded by guards in armor. It was heavily guarded. Mei Liangchen found that in the center of the forbidden area, facing east, stood a giant felt tent with a diameter of more than 30 meters and a height of about 5 meters.

The wooden pillars are made of bamboo, with felt as the cover, painted pillars, brocade as the wall covering, and embroidered foreheads. The decoration is extremely gorgeous, especially the dragon-shaped pattern embroidered with gold threads is pasted on the wooden pillars and carpet.

It is magnificent and resplendent, showing its supreme imperial power to his subjects. Surrounding it, large and small circular, oval, and rectangular felt tents extend in all directions, and the dim lights seem to be invisible at a glance...

At the entrance of the Forbidden City, Battle took out a round waist badge and handed it to the guard guarding the gate.

"Sir, we are the horse herders from the General's Mansion, here to deliver the horses!"

The soldiers in armor recognized the 'Thunder God'. When they heard the name of the general, their expressions were stern. After taking the badge and looking at it carefully, they took back their cold spears and halberds. "Go in." During the war, the horses must follow.

The general was kept outside the camp to prepare for the need to go to war at any time. Now is the time when Emperor Min Liao leads the civil and military generals on four-hour inspections, so the God of Thunder will be brought to the stables by the horseherds to feed him.

The General's Mansion is composed of large and small felt tents. Outside the tent in the main meeting hall, four huge oil paper lanterns are burning, shining brightly in the night. From the location of the General's Mansion, Mei Liangchen guessed that this general must be

He was a powerful figure in the Min Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, his residence would not have crossed the Changchun Tent where the ministers discussed politics and was next to the emperor's palace. Not only that, she also saw the three words "Dou Zhi Sheng" written by the emperor himself on the plaque outside the house.

, signed and stamped with the emperor's seal. If this situation were placed in the general's residence in Minliao's capital, it would be perfectly normal, but now it is the time when carriages and horses are patrolling around, and the general's temporary felt tent is tight.

Being personally awarded a plaque in the emperor's palace shows how incredibly important he was.

While thinking about it, Battelle suddenly pressed the back of her head and bowed to the sergeant on duty outside the general's house, "Sir, let's give the general a horse!"

The 'Thunder God' seemed to have smelled its master's breath. It snorted rapidly, and its front hooves kept digging at the weeds on the gray ground.

The sergeant did not dare to neglect, and just as he was about to go forward to report, the curtain of the felt tent was suddenly opened.
