"What are you shouting for? How is it appropriate to act in such a hurry?" The city gate guard frowned in displeasure.
"General, general, listen to me..."
The captain didn't even bother to take a breath, he was so busy using his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message: "After I went to deliver the letter, so and so..."
"Is this true?" After hearing this, the young general's expression suddenly changed.
"That's absolutely true, General."
Chen Shen was leaning against the wall, but in fact he had clearly eavesdropped on the two people's communication. He was suppressing a smile in his heart and kept a calm expression on his face.
"Hiss - I am... ahhh!" The guard's attitude changed completely. He walked up to Chen Shen with a smile and asked: "Um... Your Excellency, are you thirsty? Hungry?
no?"
"You see, you must be tired after waiting here for so long, right? How about I take you to the inn to rest first?"
Chen Shen raised his eyelids slightly: "I don't dare bother the general, I'd better wait here."
"Hehehe, sir, don't be surprised, the young general has your destiny, so this is..."
"Of course I won't blame you. It's just a reward for doing your duty faithfully. Just wait quietly. I'm fine."
"this……"
"Hoo ho ho!"
At this moment, in the mid-air not far away, hundreds of royal griffin beasts came through the wind, as if they were covering the sky and the sun!
The first rider, wearing dazzling sharp gold armor and a blue purple jade crown on his head, is the exclusive ride of the Lord of Great Xia, and is also the only beast-king realm griffin beast of the Great Xia royal family.
Its back was so wide that it could accommodate hundreds of people, but now there were only three people standing proudly on it.
On the left is the great eunuch Li Zongming, and on the right is the deputy master of Tianqibao Pavilion: Chen Xiaohai.
The person standing in the middle is wearing a yellow robe and a majestic weapon. Who else can there be besides Xia Yuan, the new king of Great Xia?
As for the other gryphon beasts carrying them, they were all imperial guards, numbering nearly ten thousand.
In the past, when the king visited the royal city, there was no need to mobilize troops like this. But an assassination not long ago forced Xia Yuan to strengthen his defenses. This was one of them.
Secondly, His Majesty organized such a huge battle to personally welcome Master Tianqi Pavilion in order to show his respect for his mentor——
Until now, Xia Yuan still didn't know that his master and senior brother were the same person.
When the gryphon swooped down, a group of stunned city gate soldiers came to their senses and bowed to the ground one after another: "General, I will pay homage to your majesty!"
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
When the gryphon was still a hundred feet away from the ground, Xia Yuan jumped down without thinking about it.
This move frightened many people, who shouted to protect them, and they did not dare to show any negligence in their actions, so they jumped down one after another.
Looking at Xia Yuan again, after landing, he didn't even bother to pay attention to the soldier who was kneeling on the ground. He rushed to Chen Shen in three steps and two steps at a time, and bowed: "Disciple, pay homage to the master!"
"Hehehe, get up quickly." Chen Shen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to support the other person, and helped him up before his knees touched the ground.
It turned out that when all the soldiers were focusing on the mid-air griffon, the young man had already quickly taken out the Tian Zihao dark gold mask and put it on his face.
Although Xia Yuan and others have never seen the true appearance of the Tianqi Pavilion Master, his second uncle Chen Xiaohai is fully aware of the truth. If he says that the Tianqi Pavilion Master is fake, it will be a mistake.
"Oh my god, he, he, he, it turns out he is the Master of Tianqi Pavilion?"
"Everyone knows that half of the current emperor's empire was conquered by his senior brother Wang Chenshen."
"The other half relied on the help of his master Tianqi Pavilion Master to ascend to the big position and consolidate his power. Your Majesty treats Master Tianqi Pavilion like a biological father!"
"It's over. This is a terrible death. We almost kidnapped the Imperial Master?"
"But, he didn't take out the mask to cover his face at that time! If we saw the Tianzihao dark gold mask, we would have let him go without hesitation, wouldn't we?"
"Yes, yes, Master Tianqi Pavilion, I won't let you play like this..."
All the soldiers and generals were trembling with fear, and there was a lot of pain in their hearts.
After a brief exchange of greetings with Chen Shen, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered something, and he was so angry that he yelled: "You are so brave! You dare to detain even Gu's mentor?"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"Huh? I wonder what Master has ordered?"
"Haha, speaking of it, it's because the master didn't wear a mask before and wanted to enter the city in a low profile. They didn't recognize my identity, and those who don't know are not guilty."
"Oh? Is this happening?"
Second uncle Chen Xiaohai couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "That's wrong! Even if you don't wear a mask, how many people in Daxia's army don't recognize Chen Shen's appearance as a king and a flying general?"
"Is it possible that this little guy has changed his face? Yes, yes, my nephew has great magical powers, and the art of changing his appearance is probably not difficult for him."
But Chen Shen said again: "Guardian of the city gate, what is your name?"
The young general's heart skipped a beat, and he said tremblingly: "If I go back to Your Excellency, the Imperial Master, my nickname is Wu Hao."
"Wu Hao, hehe, you are very good!"
Wu Hao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that the other party was speaking sarcastically. If His Majesty becomes angry, everyone will be at risk in a minute!
Unexpectedly, Chen Shen changed the topic: "This person has accepted the benefits of one hundred thousand gold and silver notes from my pavilion master, but he still fulfills his duties."
"He pretended to let me into the city, but in fact he wanted to catch a turtle in a jar. He can be said to be wise and loyal."
"If I were really an unruly person, I would also feel a headache when meeting such a city gatekeeper."
"My teacher believes that not only should such people not be blamed, but they should be rewarded for their reactions!"
After finishing his words, Wu Hao felt as if he had soared from hell to heaven. The ups and downs also gave him a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, the result is not bad——
"I see."
Xia Yuan's face looked better now: "Wu Hao, you strictly abide by the military rules and regulations of the emperor and are not swayed by foreign wealth. From now on, you will be promoted to one level, receive the rank of lieutenant general, and be given a hundred thousand gold!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"Thank you Gu? Hey, you seem to have thanked the wrong person, right?"
The young general suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, yes! Senior Pavilion Master is so righteous and upright. I am very grateful to you. Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior."
"Okay, okay, get up."
Chen Shen waved his hand and then got to the point: "As soon as I came back as a teacher, I heard that things were going on in South Korea, and there were even despicable things like assassinating the king of a country?"
"Disciple, don't be anxious, right?"
"Replying to Master, my disciple is very lucky. Fortunately, the Queen stepped forward to save me that night and escaped. But the Queen... alas!"
Seeing that His Majesty was hesitant to speak, the eunuch Li Zongming clasped his fists and saluted, and then quietly transmitted the message: "The Queen was unfortunately killed. When she died, she was still pregnant with the dragon seed for four months! Now she is also included, alas!"
"What?"
Chen Shen was furious, and the momentum of the Xuanhuang Realm spread like wildfire, which was breathtaking!
Seeing this, the old eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. Can you please move somewhere else?"
Chen Shen nodded: "Let's go to the palace to discuss it in detail. I will definitely treat him in the same way as he did!"
