The Degree of Grace Chapter 7: Summoning from His Majesty
"There are many great sights in Kyoto. From the Fairy Garden to the Yaochi, and then from the Yaochi to the Old Confucian Garden, they are all extremely rare sights."
After entering Chaoge City, Zhao Zhitang began to introduce the major attractions in Kyoto to Su Mu and others, "There is also the legendary Star-Zhaing Tower ruins of the ancient Zhou Dynasty. For practitioners, especially for practitioners like Junior Sister Mo,
For those who are into the art of deduction, this is not to be missed.”
Mo Qianyu replied calmly: "When I was very young, I used to hide and seek in the Star Reaching Ruins. I didn't find it interesting."
When she said this, her expression was very calm, as if she was really talking about something that belonged to her childhood.
As for Zhao Zhitang, he found that he didn't know how to continue this topic.
Also, their junior sister has grown up in Kyoto since she was a child. Although she went to Shushan when she was less than six years old, who is junior sister Mo? Even her childhood memories cannot be forgotten so easily.
When they entered the city gate, they had already separated from the prince.
The final destination of Su Mu and his entourage was not Zhao Zhitang's place of residence in Kyoto, nor Shushan's Deacon Hall in Kyoto, but Wen Daoyan's residence in Xueshi Street.
Bachelor Street, as the name suggests.
Almost all the private houses on both sides of this street are rented to students studying. Next to Xueshi Street is where Gongyuan is located.
Rumor has it that during the imperial examinations, the houses on both sides of the Gongyuan were hard to find.
Wen Daoyan was originally from a poor background. Even though he had practiced cultivation in Shushan for a long time, he did not have many spiritual stones and even less money in his hands.
Being able to afford a house in such an area was not because of the care of the Guan family, but because after he became a member of the Xie Yuan Dynasty, he was first given by the imperial court and then received a monthly salary every month.
Green tiles and gray eaves.
Long before arriving in Kyoto, Wen Daoyan had already flown to Kyoto and rented the two small courtyards next door.
only.
When the carriage drove into Scholar Street and the small courtyard rented by Wen Daoyan appeared in front of everyone's eyes, there was a figure that completely attracted their attention.
Just because that figure was wearing eunuch clothes and standing in front of Wen Daoyan's door, it seemed that he was waiting for their arrival.
The carriage slowly stopped.
The eunuch also came forward and said through the car window: "Mr. Su, your Majesty has summoned you."
The eunuch's voice was high-pitched and strong.
Everyone in charge, including Zhao Zhitang, was shocked by this summons.
Inside the carriage.
Su Mu and Mo Qianyu looked at each other, then opened the curtains and looked at the two eunuchs: "Now?"
The eunuch emphasized: "Immediately!"
"Just me?"
"Yes,"
The eunuch made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Su, please."
As early as a year ago, due to the Kongkong Mountain incident, Mo Qian, Zhuang Ance and Su Mu who were involved in it received His Majesty's order to summon him.
However, due to various reasons, Su Mu never came to Kyoto.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who has not followed the order for such a long time.
This inevitably made Su Mu wonder whether he would be questioned by His Majesty the Emperor when entering the palace.
"I dare to ask Eunuch Song, whether your Majesty summoned my junior brother in such a hurry, was it about the Kongkong Mountain incident or the Pingheyan Mountain incident?"
Zhao Zhitang got off his horse and approached very familiarly. He didn't know what he handed to the father-in-law.
The father-in-law immediately beamed with joy and said: "Zhenzhen Zhao, don't worry, our family guarantees that Mr. Su will enter the palace during this trip, which is a good thing."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."
Zhao Zhitang saluted and said: "Please give me some time, Eunuch Song. This is the first time for my junior brother to enter the palace. I will tell him some etiquette first so as not to offend His Majesty and the nobles in the palace."
"This is as it should be,"
The father-in-law said: "It's just your Majesty's summons. Don't neglect it. A real person will make a long story short."
"clear,"
Immediately, Zhao Zhitang came to Su Mu and said: "Junior brother, the person who really summoned you should not be His Majesty, but probably His Royal Highness the Princess."
"The eldest princess?"
At this moment, Su Mu really couldn't find any thoughts, "Senior brother, why did the eldest princess summon me?"
"Maybe it's because of His Royal Highness,"
Zhao Zhitang said in a guessing tone: "The other thing is, you are everywhere from Kongkong Mountain to Pingheyan Mountain. She may be very curious about you."
"Curious?" Su Mu was puzzled.
"It's useless to talk more, you go to the palace first,"
Zhao Zhitang placed his palm on Su Mu's shoulder and said, "Senior brother, I'll wait for you to come back and wash away the dust."
...
As soon as you see the red wall, you see the palace.
Along the way, Su Mu discovered that Eunuch Song seemed to have some objections to him.
This palace is definitely the most eye-catching and the most dangerous place in the Jiuzhou Continent. Whatever danger occurs, you must know who your opponent is.
So Su Mu stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch Song, have we met before?"
"Mr. Su is so honorable. Our family has just admired His Majesty's kindness and was able to meet him today. Why did Mr. Su say this?"
This is absolutely yin and yang.
Su Mu smiled and asked directly: "Since my father-in-law has never seen me, and I have never met my father-in-law, why does it seem that my father-in-law has a blood feud with me?"
Hearing what Su Mu said, Eunuch Song showed a tangled look on his face.
He did not answer Su Mu's words again.
It was only after leading Su Mu into a long corridor that he suddenly turned to look at Su Mu and said, "That's all, for the sake of Zhenren Zhao, we will make it clear to you."
"Xiao Dao, thank you father-in-law for your teaching." At this time, Su Mu certainly couldn't be stingy with some spiritual stones.
Eunuch Song did not refuse. He took over and said in a low voice: "You have cut off the wealth of countless people in Shuozhou. Now that you have entered Kyoto, it is like you have fallen into a trap. To tell you the truth, officials in the DPRK have begun to plan how to take you away."
Drive out of Shushan,"
"The reason why I keep distance from you and show hatred is just a self-protection out of desperation. I hope Mr. Su will not care about you."
"My father-in-law risked his life to give me advice, and I will keep it in my heart."
Su Mu didn't say much, just bowed and saluted.
"Mr. Su, please!"
"Father-in-law, please!"
After that, it only took half a quarter of an hour.
Eunuch Song took Su Mu to a courtyard. There was a big banyan tree growing in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by rockeries and flowing water, and the scenery was pleasant.
"Mr. Su, just sit here and your Majesty will summon you," Duke Song said.
Su Mu felt very strange and asked, "Isn't it urgent?"
"To be honest with you, Mr. Su, my mission is to bring you here. The higher-ups ask you to do it quickly. Isn't it urgent?"
Hearing this, Su Mu thought of what Zhao Zhitang said before leaving and asked bluntly: "Eunuch, is it the eldest princess who summoned me?"
"this?"
Eunuch Song suddenly looked confused, shook his head and said, "Our family really doesn't know about this."
After bidding farewell to the eunuch, Su Mu walked deeper into the courtyard.
There were several birds singing on the banyan tree. Under the banyan tree, all kinds of flowers and plants were in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers was overflowing.
Looking to the west, the sun has begun to set.
Set in the west?
Su Mu's spirit suddenly shook.
If he remembered correctly, it was still noon when he arrived in front of the yard rented by Wen Daoyan.
No matter how long and deep the road to the palace is, it can't take several hours.
