It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

Chu Zeshuoxi never thought that it would be so easy to sneak into Liuhuang Palace.

Thinking of completing the mission assigned by the emperor in the near future, Chu Zeshuo was a little excited, and couldn't even hold back the joy on his face.

The young man named Tengqi who was standing next to her, who was driving the ox cart for Zuo Guangxun, thought that she was too nervous when she came to the royal court for the first time, so he smiled and comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, little Xianggong, Wang Qinzheng loves the people and has a temper." Should be fine."

He spoke with a Chang'an local accent, and it was the first time in Liuhuang City that he heard people who spoke with a Chang'an accent except for them. Did you come from Chang'an? Judging from your tone of voice, it's somewhat similar to the area outside Chang'an."

"Ah, that's not true." Smiling shyly, his copper-colored skin blushed over time, Teng Qi looked at Chu Zeshuo and said, "I'm from Nanjun, and I used to live in Chang'an. I have lived here before, after I married my wife, I fled here. Speaking of this, young man, do you still remember the group of people you helped yesterday?"

Hearing this, Chu Ze Shuo frowned, looked at this simple and honest young man and thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "You can't be the son-in-law that the old man said is working under the senior official Liu Huang?"

"Exactly!" Teng Qi nodded happily, "After taking my father-in-law home at the city gate tower last night, he asked me to repay you for him. I still don't know how to repay it. It happened that when our adults came home from court, they were frowning and said that they couldn't find anyone who could perform in front of the king. I thought of what my father-in-law said about the young man who brought a large group of beasts. Thinking that this is a good opportunity, I advised my lord to go to the main street to try my luck, no, I found you, my little husband."

I can't blame her grandmother for always talking about good things and good things at home. Who knew that an unintentional action would unexpectedly help her?

Chu Zeshuoxi felt emotional in his heart, bent down and thanked him gratefully, "Thank you, little brother."

"Young Master, you're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Teng Qi hurriedly got up to help her, and said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, Young Master, you can just say it, the pain of living in a foreign land is not easy."

"Then thank you in advance, brother."

Chu Ze Shuoxi stood upright, smiled at him, then turned around and continued to stare at Wang Ting.Zhuang Jin, who had been standing beside him silently, saw that she had finished exchanging greetings with the young man, and walked up to her and said softly, "I don't know how Master Zuoguang is going in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a similar sentence came not far from her. Chu Zeshuo looked up, and as expected, it was the barbarian who sang "Sheqin" duet.

According to Zuo Guangxun, since it is a night banquet, the more lively the better, so after inviting them, he saw the two barbarians playing and singing again. After killing the two barbarians, he hired another mule cart and took the two of them to the outside of the palace.

After leaving a sentence, "I will go to Tongbing first, please wait for a while", Zuo Guangxun who brought them over went to the palace first, leaving them waiting outside, waiting, waiting, it was getting dark down.

Liuhuang is no different from the Han Dynasty. When the princes and ministers discussed important military and political affairs, they chose a clear day. On the contrary, because Liuhuang people love freedom, they let them put down their favorite jobs during the day. Unforgivable behavior, over time, I don't know which generation of kings started it. Relying on Liuhuang's rich luminous pearls and bright jade, discussing politics after dark has become a national policy approved by Liuhuang's monarchs and ministers.

Chu Zeshuo couldn't help shaking his head when he remembered that the people in Liuhuang who she sent to investigate believed that they should be more enthusiastic about political affairs when discussing politics at night.

How can military and political affairs be treated as child's play?

Thoughts were turning and turning, Chu Zeshuo replied calmly, "I think it was delayed by something, don't worry, let's wait a little longer, since the lord let us come, there must be Let’s see how useful we are.”

When Zhuang Jin opened his mouth and was about to say something else, a guard dressed in military uniform came down from Wang Tingxue's jade white stairs. His sharp eyes like vultures scanned Chu Zeshuoxi's group of people around, and then asked in a low voice. He said, "Wang Xuan's acting attendant, how many of you are the ones who have been admonished by Master Zuoguang?"

Hearing this, Chu Zeshuo straightened his clothes calmly, and saluted, "Exactly."

Because of her proper manners in advancing and retreating, the guard couldn't help but look at her more, his tense face eased, and he said calmly, "Follow me closely, the palace is important, don't move around at will."

"Yes." Chu Zeshuo replied, looking back at Zhuang Jin, and winking at him, "Remember to tell others to follow this lord closely, and don't walk around the palace at will."

Zhuang Jin understood and smiled back at her, "Understood, leader."

Seeing this, the guard nodded in satisfaction, and asked the two barbarians who had been silent all this time, "You two also understand?"

Seeing them nodding, the guard turned around, turned his back to them and said, "It's getting late, follow me into the palace."

Chu Zeshuoxi responded again, and when he was about to walk, Teng Qi who was standing on one side secretly pulled her over, carefully looked at the barbarian over there, and whispered to her, "Little Master, Teng Qi is a driver You are not qualified to enter the royal court, so you can only stay here and wait for my lord. Be careful when you enter the palace, I don’t think those two barbarians are any kind. "

"Thank you for reminding me, little brother." Chu Zeshuoxi smiled lightly, "Suoxi will remember."

Only those who have been to Liuhuang will know how wide the sky is in Liuhuang. The yellow land near and far makes this city seem to be connected with the sky and the earth. Standing on the city wall, you can touch the blue sky with your hands. sky and floating clouds.

The desolate area outside Liuhuang City, Chu Zeshuoxi thought it was inside the city, and it was covered with yellow sand, but he didn't expect to be inside the city, only to realize that although Liuhuang didn't have the lush greenery inside and outside Chang'an City, there were also plants growing along the street. There are many trees with thorny leaves. After asking the locals, I realized that they are called seabuckthorn trees. Such trees are not uncommon in Liuhuang City, but it was not until she entered the royal court that she knew Liuhuang. is the tip of the iceberg.

The palace is carved out of flower rocks transported by artisans thousands of miles away from the mountains. The whole body is blue and crystal clear. There are three floors in total. Running down, pouring into the underground tunnel of the palace, nourishing the precious flowers and plants planted above, this not only adds to the beauty of the whole palace, but also reduces the temperature in the palace.

Of course, Chu Zeshuoxi only heard about this later.

At this moment, led by the guards, she was shuttling through the solemn and closely guarded royal court, lest something bad happen, she refused to turn back easily.

After turning several turns, the guard leading the way finally stopped at the foot of a white jade ladder, and said to them, "The king is in the palace above, you can go up by yourself."

With an awl hanging in Chu Zeshuo's heart, he thanked the guards and directed his men who were carrying the cages. A group of people walked along the steps made of white marble, bowed their heads, walked slowly into the palace, and knelt down slowly.

As expected of Liuhuang's rich products, even though the sky was dark at this time, because the main hall was filled with luminous pearls and jades, the whole palace was illuminated as brightly as day, Chu Zeshuo sat up straight, bowed his head and knelt On the tiger-skin carpet that was spread all over the Great Hall, eyes fixed on the tiger's stripes on the blanket, spread out his hands on the ground, put his forehead in the palm of his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Little man Shuoxi, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." .

The rest of the people imitated her appearance and saluted one after another, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The ministers in the palace had been chattering since they came in. She couldn't understand Liu Huang's Lu Qi language, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but she could feel many eyes piercing her body.

At the moment, she didn't dare to move around, and kept the posture of saluting, but after waiting for a long time, she couldn't hear the voice of King Liuhuang telling them to stand up. Chu Zeshuoxi felt a little uneasy, and her legs and feet were almost stiff when lying on the ground. Come on, didn't the king see something, so he didn't let them get up?

Just as he was thinking, a pair of embroidered plain brocade boots suddenly appeared in his sight. Chu Zeshuo stared blankly at the pair of boots painted with cloud patterns, and suddenly remembered a few years ago, when everyone gathered for a drink, Master Su, who patrolled the palace with her, joked that when she was weak, he would collect all the boots in Chang'an City and give them to her, so that she would not have to worry about wearing shoes for the rest of her life.

At that time when everyone laughed at him because he couldn't come up with a decent coming-of-age gift, he was still fighting for reason. Unexpectedly, time flies and things are impermanent, and she is close to the weak crown. He was left in Beidi and could never come back for the rest of his life.

"Are you a beast master?"

After a long time, an indifferent voice came from above his head.

"Yes."

Chu Zeshuoxi answered correctly, but she was a little confused. Why did she always feel that this voice seemed familiar?

"Okay, you look up."

Chu Zeshuo did as he was told, and slowly raised her head, her gaze shifted from the black pin-patterned long gown of the person in front of her to her face wearing a gold silk tulle-patterned cicada mask.

After calmly scanning the people in front of him, Chu Zeshuo came to a serious conclusion: Well, she has a slender figure and an outstanding temperament. It's a pity that her face is covered, but she should be a beauty.

Nodding in agreement in his heart, Chu Zeshuo looked at the clothes of the person in front of him, and suddenly remembered something, and his heart turned cold, even his usual calm face was a little flustered.

Wait, Bi Anxuan robe, gold silk tulle pattern cicada mask?

As far as she knew, Qu An was the totem of Liuhuang's royal family, and the mask of the golden silk tulle pattern cicada, well, wasn't that what the girl who showed her the way last night was wearing on her face?So to say, so to say...

In fact, that girl is the concubine of the current King Liuhuang?
