The carriage went straight through the main road of Zhenjiang and headed quickly to the palace. After walking for more than two quarters of an hour, it stopped in front of the gate of the palace.
Liu Zhang, Bai An, Yan Yan and others in the car looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand what the assassin's intention was in bringing him to the palace?
Xiong Gu said in a naive voice: "Isn't it the king who wants to summon us?"
"How is that possible!" The others said in unison. They are considered outstanding among the students of Lingwu Academy, but in the entire Feng Kingdom, they are just insignificant and unknown people. How could the king summon them?
"Then why did you take us to the palace?"
"The devil knows." Liu Zhang muttered, sticking his head out of the car window and looking out.
I saw the two men in green getting off the carriage, walking quickly to the palace guards in front, chatting a few words in a low voice, and then walked back to the carriage, patted the wall of the carriage, and said, "Everyone, get down."
Liu Zhang and others looked at each other, feeling confused, but they still jumped out of the carriage. As soon as they got off, guards gathered around them and conducted a detailed search on them. Of course, the four who searched Bai An and Yin Lan were
Female guard.
After confirming that they were not carrying weapons, the guards allowed them to enter the palace.
Two men in Tsing Yi led the way, while Liu Zhang and the others followed. It was already late at night, and most of the lights in the palace were extinguished. Through the moonlight, only the general outline of the palace building could be seen.
In the past, they had only seen the palace from a distance outside the palace, but now when they were inside, they could truly feel the majesty of the palace architecture.
Along the way, they lost count of how many halls and pavilions they had seen. Each building was huge and decorated with splendor and grace. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to appreciate its magnificence.
It took a long time after entering the palace before everyone recovered from the shock. Liu Zhang took a few steps forward, approached the two men in Tsing Yi in front, and asked: "Two secret arrow brothers, where are you going to take us?"
where?"
"Tai'an Palace." One of the people in green clothes said without looking back.
"That's..." Liu Zhang didn't know where Tai'an Temple was.
"The king wants to see you." The man in green added.
Hearing this, Liu Zhang and others took a deep breath. Xiong Gu guessed correctly, it was really the king who summoned them. Several people looked at Xiong Gu in unison.
The man in green who spoke finally turned around, but he did not look at Liu Zhang, but at Xiong Gu, and said expressionlessly: "You should thank your companions for not letting you do that on the road."
This seemingly incomprehensible sentence made Xiong Gu, Liu Zhang and others' expressions change greatly, and cold sweat flowed unconsciously. It turned out that they had heard the conversation between themselves and others in the car.
Liu Zhang swallowed his saliva and asked again: "Brother, I wonder why the king summoned us? We are just ordinary students at the Lingwu Academy in the capital."
"We are acting under orders. We don't know the specific reason, but it is definitely not a bad thing." The man in Tsing Yi said a lot in the hidden arrows.
After walking inside the palace for a while, two talents in Tsing Yi stopped in front of a courtyard.
Looking inside, the courtyard is very large, with gardens and rows of trees. At the end of the garden, there is a main hall, which is brightly lit, but it is far away, so the specific situation cannot be clearly seen.
"We're here." The two men in Tsing Yi whispered, and then they both turned and walked away. Liu Zhang wanted to call them out. At this time, a guard walked out from the courtyard door and said to them: "Everyone,
Please come in."
Liu Zhang and others followed the guards into the courtyard in complete confusion, and walked into the main hall. Only then did they see that two rows of seats had been arranged in the main hall, and there was a person sitting in the middle.
This man was wearing a black and red robe, unbuttoned, revealing the white tunic underneath. At this time, he was looking down at a book, and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
There were two tall men in rich clothes standing behind him on both sides, their eyes like lightning, scanning over them from time to time.
"See you soon, Your Majesty!" the guard who led them in reminded them in a low voice.
Liu Zhang and others came to their senses, and it turned out that this person was the king! They all knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "I see you, the king!"
The man sitting in the middle finally put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head, looked at them with a smile, and said: "Everyone, get up!"
Hey, the voice sounds so familiar! Bai An, Yan Yan, Yang Yi, Xu You and others didn't feel anything at all, but Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu, and Yin Lan were moved.
After the seven people stood up, they subconsciously raised their heads and looked forward. When they saw the man's face clearly, their faces showed surprise.
Bai An had never met Tang Yin, Yan Yan, Yang Yi, and Xu Youjian had met Tang Yin, but he was wearing a spiritual armor at the time and couldn't see clearly what he looked like. They were surprised that the king was so young and looked similar to them.
Big, and so handsome, with a smile on his face, easy-going, very different from the fierce and violent image in the rumors.
As for Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu, and Yin Lan, they were much more surprised than Bai An. How could this be the king? Isn't this the mysterious missing man in the early Tang Dynasty? Xiong Gu had the most upright temperament and exclaimed: "How dare you disguise yourself?"
Become a great king..."
Before he finished speaking, Ah San and Ah Si behind Tang Yin shouted in unison: "How reckless!"
Xiong Gu looked confused and didn't know what he said wrong, but Liu Zhang and Yin Lan had already figured out what was going on. No wonder Tang Chu would join the Gui class inexplicably, and then disappear inexplicably, even in the academy
The gentleman and the stewards all pretended to be confused. It turned out that in the early Tang Dynasty, it was Tang Yin, the king of Feng Kingdom.
The two of them grabbed Xiong Gu, who was still asking questions, and whispered: "Stop asking, he was the king in the early Tang Dynasty."
"Ah?" Tang Chu is... the king?! Not to mention Xiong Gu's eyes widening in disbelief, Bai An and others on the side were also full of shock, and they couldn't recover for a long time.
Tang Yin actually smiled and said: "Yes, Tang Chu is just my pseudonym, Tang Chu is Tang Yin." As he spoke, he waved his hands with a smile and said, "Everyone, please stop standing, all 'classmates' please
sit down!"
Everyone couldn't tell how they felt when they heard him address themselves as a classmate. Some of them, including Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu and Yin Lan, were a little surprised and a little angry.
Tang Yin stretched his somewhat stiff muscles and said slowly: "I know, you may think that I am deliberately fooling you, but it is not the case. I just want to experience the upgrade test of Capital Lingwu Academy in person, but I didn't expect that I would be *
You have to take part in it. Speaking of the promotion test, I think I should say sorry to the Class A students."
It was precisely because of his participation that this supposedly exciting group competition became unfair.
Unexpectedly, the king would apologize to him. Bai An and others felt flattered, and they all waved their hands and said: "The king is too polite, I don't dare to take it seriously..."
"Sit down!" Tang Yin said calmly: "I came to you this time because you all performed very well in the upgrade test."
Yin Lan pointed to Xu You without thinking and asked, "Including him?"
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "Although Xu You likes to be affectionate and cherishes jade, his strength is first-rate in Class A, so I invited him here too."
Xu You hurriedly held up his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" As he spoke, he secretly rolled his eyes at Yin Lan and muttered in a low voice, "I gave you so much in the competition, and now you are trying to defeat me?"
Yin Lan turned her head away, pretending not to hear.
The smile on Tang Yin's face became thicker and he said: "Everyone must be hungry, I have already asked people to prepare supper." As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and soon, more than a dozen palace maids filed in and took the dishes.
They were placed on everyone's tables one after another.
Seeing that he had an easy-going attitude and no airs about the king, everyone gradually became more relaxed. Xiong Gu shook his big head and murmured: "You are actually the king. It is really unimaginable. We thought you were a ghost.
Woolen cloth……"
His words made Ah San and Ah Si's expressions suddenly darken, and also made Liu Zhang and others change their expressions on the spot. They couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for him. You must know that the person in front of them is not their classmate, but a dignified monarch. He is so
It's too rude to say that.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed and said: "I have also heard that since I disappeared from Lingwu Academy in the capital, there have been many rumors in the academy. This time I invite you to come. One of them
The reason is also to refute rumors, I am a human being, not a ghost!"
Phew! After hearing this, everyone suppressed their laughter, covered their mouths and lowered their heads.
Tang Yin greeted: "Don't just sit around and eat. I can't say that the food in Feng Wang Palace is unique in the world, but at least it is much better than the food in the academy."
After being tossed around most of the night, everyone was indeed hungry now. They lowered their heads and took a closer look at the dishes on the table. It turned out that they were all different. Bai An and Yan Yan were from Ning, and the dishes placed in front of them were all from Ning.
The flavorful dishes, Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu, and Yin Lan are Feng people, and the flavorful cuisines are in front of them.
Seeing this, even Bai An and Yan Yan couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness in their hearts. Although the king is an old man, he is much more generous than ordinary old men.
Liu Zhang, who had been silent until now, finally asked: "The king also invited the villain this time, but because the villain performed well in this upgrade test?"
"In this regard." Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, what I value more is your organizational and commanding abilities. As for your performance this time, in my opinion, it is extremely poor."
Hearing this, the expressions of Liu Zhang and everyone else changed. In their opinion, his tactics were already very unexpected and very successful. How come it turned out to be so bad when he got to the king?
Liu Zhang took a deep breath, raised his hands and said, "Please let me know clearly!"
