Tianjia

Xi felt that this male was still planning ahead.

He tried to make the other party understand that as long as the foundation is laid well, there is no fear of sorrow in the future, so the practice must start from a young age, from the present.

Unfortunately, before there was time to implement it, and even before the housekeeper had time to notify Minister Cheng Changqing, an order really came from the imperial palace.

This made Xi feel a little surprised, he did not expect that the other party's counterattack came so quickly.

And I just rejected a young male slave who delivered goods to the door, but I just didn't follow the rules of the game formulated by the other party, and slowly entered the pit.

Why, are you still dragging it into the water like this?

Xi frowned slightly, thinking of resistance.

Especially when he heard this unofficial but irresistible order from one of Jiadi's beloved servants, asking him to bring the newly-accepted male slave with him, this idea became even clearer.

Ling and Jiu walked quickly into the study, and after looking at each other, they also felt that the matter had become serious.

Jiu went outside to prepare the beast cart, while Ling accompanied the young master. They must strictly control the safety situation on the road to the imperial palace.

Steward Cheng didn't even bother to rest, and after admonishing the young master, he rushed to Minister Cheng Shuiqing's house in person. Although he couldn't guarantee whether Minister Cheng Shuiqing would get the news in advance, just in case, he had to make this trip.

Xi finished drinking the tea in the cup, walked out of the study, and glanced at the other servants and guards in the house, everyone's eyes were full of worry and worry.

He can understand this, after all, it is the imperial palace, a place that has nothing to do with the middle and lower classes.

Many great merchants have never been able to step into the imperial palace, let alone meet the nobles who live there.

Jiadi is the existence that covers the sky with one hand in the Western Continent, and Jiadi's male monarch and male attendant are naturally higher than most males in terms of status, and can even surpass many females.

It's like saying that even a dog in a noble family is worth more than a poor person.

Xi saw that the servants who had come to deliver the order were already waiting at the door, and more than one of them even came with weapons on their bodies. Obviously, there was no intention of giving him an excuse to shirk.

Xi went through countless thoughts in his heart, but his face was expressionless. He took the newly-acquired male slaves, boarded the beast cart prepared by Jiu, and walked slowly towards the imperial palace.

On the way, Xi patted the back of Xiongnu's hand lightly, and said slowly, "Don't be afraid, just go there and enjoy the garden view. I heard that the green plants in the imperial palace are well designed."

Gu Yun habitually sat upright, and nodded gently when he heard the words, and wanted to withdraw his hand quietly, but was grabbed by the female.

Xi put a milky white bead in the palm of his hand, about the size of a fingernail, the material is transparent and light.

Gu Yun had never seen this kind of mineral before, so he subconsciously took a few more glances, and then heard the female master whisper, "This is a pair of pearls, one black and one white, formed naturally."

After speaking, Xi showed off a string of colorful beads that he had been wearing on his wrist all the time. It looked like a string of various treasures specially made by an upstart.

And one of them was exactly the same size as the white bead in Gu Yun's hand, but it was pure black.

Xi Yi changed from his usual recklessness, and said seriously, "After arriving at the imperial palace, I heard that items must be checked before entering. Because the process is more detailed, the male and female will go to two different rooms separately."

Under normal circumstances, when checking, it is just to see if there are any lethal weapons, or some strange pills, liquids, needle cones, etc., as for ornaments and clothing without edges and corners, they will not be detained.

"This should be the only time for you to leave me at a certain distance. The situation in the imperial palace is unknown, so be careful everywhere..."

"If you encounter danger or something that cannot be solved, just crush this white bead. I will know and come here immediately."

Once the white bead is broken, the black bead will split at the same time. This kind of black and white pair of beads can monitor each other's status regardless of the distance. It is a very precious mineral.

Gu Yun didn't know the actual price of this pair of beads, but was just amazed that the naturally formed mineral could have such a strange effect.

He thought about it carefully, and he hadn't seen similar items on other females or males, not even the big nobles Xiu and Xie Si he had seen before.

This shows that... the stock should not be much, it may even be extremely scarce, or it may be specially supplied to the front line of the battlefield for priority use.

No matter what, it can be guessed that this pair of beads is worth a lot.

Gu Yun didn't expect that, when it was obvious that she was about to be dealt with by the imperial palace, this female would have the thought to show consideration for a slave, even so thoughtful and generous.

He sincerely thanked her, his voice was low and sweet, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will pay more attention to you."

Xi squinted his eyes and gave an understatement "um". Although this is not safe enough, there is no other better way at present.

Gu Yun picked up the bead in his hand, and found that the white bead had been punched, and a delicate metal clip was installed on the side.

Xi Ti pointed, "This is a pre-designed style, you can wear it casually without worrying about being recognized, because there are many beads that grow like this, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to recognize the right pair of beads."

Gu Yun nodded slightly, he pinched the clamp and tested the tightness.

Not too tight, not too loose, and there is a small rod on it to adjust the strength.

Gu Yun felt that it was almost the same, so he didn't make any further adjustments, but pinned this small bead on the neckline as a decoration.

Seeing Xiongnu's fluent actions, Xi hesitated to speak.

In fact, he didn't intend to give away this white bead.

Although I really wanted this male slave to wear it before, and I sent it to the workshop, specifying to create a trendy decoration that is most suitable for males.

As a result, after several days of meticulous carving in the workshop, the finished product was sent like this.

After Xi got the goods, he was also a little dazed. He didn't expect the trend to be like this...

It's all because he didn't stare at those naked male slaves when he attended the banquet on weekdays. Who would have thought that this thing would be clipped to his chest.

No wonder the customized price is so expensive, and there is also an adjustable elastic function, and I asked him if he wanted to add a variety of fancy tassels, or pendants with weights.

Xi felt that it would hinder him from eating fruit and make Xiongnu uncomfortable, so he thought it would be better to send it another day and change the style.

Unexpectedly, when I suddenly need it urgently, it will arrive in a blink of an eye...

When Xi took out the beads, what he thought was that if this male slave is afraid of pain and wants to make it loose, he won't mind, just don't lose it, after all, some places are thin and tender. Get red and swollen easily.

Unexpectedly, the other party caught it directly on the clothes without saying a word, which was very reasonable.

Xi: "..."

Gu Yun noticed the female's reaction, and he asked with some doubts, "Is it the wrong way to wear it?"

After finishing speaking, Gu Yun tentatively removed the small beads from his collar and clipped them to... his earlobes.

But he felt that this was a bit asymmetrical, and it was easy to attract attention.

In this environment, according to his observation, he has never seen one side alone.

Xi looked away, and said softly, "There's nothing wrong with it, you can wear it as you like."

After hearing this, Gu Yun clamped the small beads on the collar again, and straightened his clothes naturally.

Xi: "..."

As long as his male slave likes it.

When they arrived at the imperial palace, Jiu pulled the beast cart to a stop, and Ling followed behind Xi, and entered the ruling palace where the highest class was located.

According to the rules, the lucky one who was summoned by Emperor Jia's concubine could not bring other followers, but after Ling showed a token, he was let in smoothly.

Xi didn't ask any further questions. He knew that Ling and Jiu could indeed enter and exit the imperial palace. Cheng Shuiqing had specifically mentioned this point. Obviously, these two hidden guards were from orthodox backgrounds, not the kind of wild people with no name or title.

When verifying identities and checking belongings, females and males should be checked separately.

After Xi glanced at his male slave, he and Ling went to the room on the left.

Gu Yun was alone, followed by a robed servant, and walked to the room on the right. When he looked up, he saw several males queuing up at the door.

It's just that those males are different from him. They are dressed in gorgeous costumes and jewels. From the names of several servants, it can be judged that they should be famous and powerful.

Gu Yun thought he was going to line up with him, but unexpectedly, the robed servant led him around the door and walked further inside. For some reason, two servants followed behind him, as if Beware of running away.

Gu Yun couldn't help it, so he just continued to follow. When he reached a reddish-brown door, the servant standing behind him suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed.

Gu Yun was caught off guard, knocked open the door, and staggered two steps inside. The room was very dark and there was no light on.

Before he could see the environment clearly, someone came from the darkness and kicked him hard in the abdomen.

Gu Yun suddenly fell sideways to the ground, coughed, blood was spilled from the corner of his lips, he quickly realized that the person who attacked should be a strong female.

Is this a prepared ambush?

The other party obviously didn't intend to stop, and stepped on the back of the male slave's hand, and crushed it hard with the heel to make the sound of bone shattering.

Gu Yun's thin lips trembled slightly, but he didn't make a sound, and endured silently.

The other hand of the male slave was tightly held behind his back by another female, unable to move.

There is more than one female in this room!

At this time, a clear voice like a wind chime sounded, "I heard Xie Si say something about you before, and thought he was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"After being beaten like this, you still can't cry and cry. It seems that you are really powerful."

The voice slowly approached, and then, the lights in the room came on, and a young male slowly stood up from the chair, "However, it's useless even if you call for help, the structure here is soundproof."

There was still a hint of fear on her pitiful little face.

He patted his chest lightly, and said, "Fortunately, I was prepared."
