Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 92 Refusal to enter the palace

"My lord, I've made it clear. A Praetorian Guard came behind Li Chao and reported with his fists in his fist.

Say. ”

"The person holding the Lingsheng Tianxing Token is called Hu Yu, and there are two women accompanying him, both of whom are from Sifang Town, and they should be the people we are looking for on this trip. ”

Hearing this, Li Chao frowned: "Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

"No, I asked their coachman. ”

Looking at the direction in which Hu Yu disappeared, Li Chao muttered: "I didn't expect Ling Sheng Tianxing to be able to put his hand into Sifang Town, this matter can be entrusted to the emperor." ”

Li Chao turned his head, looked at the guards who reported the news, and said, "Lead the way, I'll go over and have a look." Then he said to the little four next to him: "You quickly return to the imperial city to tell the emperor, just say that we have received the people, but there are also Ling Sheng Tianxing's people who are walking with the holy woman." ”

"Obey!" Xiao Si hugged his fists, then looked at the direction where Hu Yu disappeared, and asked again: "My lord, what about this Hu Yu?"

Li Chao twisted his beard and commanded: "Yu Yi, you follow him, monitor his every move, be careful, this kid has a keen sense, don't be discovered by him." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Si and Yu Yi took the order and left, and Li Chao looked at the quiet alley thoughtfully.

After walking along the street for a while, Li Chao and his entourage arrived at the Pengyue Inn where Zhen Siqi was, the Pengyue Inn is different from ordinary inns, the Pengyue Inn covering a very wide area is composed of a single courtyard, and the people who can live here are either rich or expensive, Hu Yu also chose here because he had to take care of two women, otherwise he would definitely be reluctant to spend this money alone, even if Huang Heng gave him a lot of silver tickets in the package.

Seeing a group of heavily armed soldiers walking towards the inn, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked out of the counter and saluted Li Chao and said, "A few military masters, welcome to the small shop, there are still a few good courtyards in the small shop, please go inside." ”

Li Chao said to the guards behind him: "We don't live in the store, shopkeeper, where are the two girls who just lived in your inn, you take them down." ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to tell them the information of the guests at will, and if it spread, the reputation of the inn would be stinky.

"Master Jun, is there something wrong?"

The guard glared at the shopkeeper and said in an unkind tone: "If you want you to lead the way, you will lead the way, and ask for anything." ”

"This?" The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed by the requirements of the guards, looking at the menacing appearance of this group of soldiers, if something happened to the inn, he would not be able to explain it to the owner.

"Huh?" Seeing that the shopkeeper was blocking in front of him and refused to move, Li Chao was a little impatient, and asked the guards who had just inquired about the news, "Do you know where they live?"

The Praetorian Guard, who had just inquired about the news, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Lead the way. Li Chao walked past the shopkeeper and walked towards the inn.

"Yo, what a majesty, don't you know whose shop this is, dare you come here to make trouble!" Just as Li Chao had just reached the staircase, an arrogant voice sounded, and a well-dressed young man appeared at the door of the inn with several people.

Seeing the person who appeared at the door, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, trotted to the door, hugged his fists and bowed: "Shaodong, you are here." ”

"Hmm. The young man known as the Shaodong family hummed softly, without even looking at the shopkeeper, shaking the folding fan, and walked towards Li Chao, who had stopped.

Choke ~ choke ~ choke

Just as the young man was about to approach Li Chao, the sound of the long knife unsheathed sounded, and the cold long knife flickered in the light of the lamp. The guards who followed the young man also drew their long swords one after another, and the two sides confronted each other.

The young man stopped, not being photographed by the momentum of the Praetorian Guards, but with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he shook the folding fan, and still said with some arrogance: "Use the knife here, I dare to guarantee that you will not be able to get out of this Dongming City." ”

With a wave of his hand, Li Chao motioned for the guards to put away their weapons, looked at the young man with an arrogant face and said, "I'm not old, my tone is not small, I want to know, how can the little Dongming City keep me." ”

The young man was very displeased with Li Chao's tone, he was used to being domineering, but he couldn't see others domineering in front of him: "Hmph, don't think that you can run rampant if you wear an iron sheet, there are many people in Dongming City that you can't afford to offend." ”

Li Chao sneered, and was not in a hurry to go in to see Zhen Siqi, found a chair and sat down, looked at the young man and asked, "Oh? Tell me, what are the big shots? Whose child are you?"

"My young master Shang Bin is the eldest son of Lord Sima Shang of Dongming City. A guard who followed Shang Bin reported out of the house, and the momentum exuded by the Praetorian Guard made him feel a little nervous, hoping to use Shang Sima's name to suppress the soldiers in front of him.

"Shang Sima, it turned out to be a child of the Shang Kun family, so I won't care about you for the sake of your second uncle's face. After Li Chao finished speaking, he got up and walked to the courtyard behind him, without looking at Shang Bin again.

"You!" was ignored by Li Chao, Shang Bin was a little annoyed, holding the folding fan tightly, but he didn't say anything, although he was domineering, but he was not stupid, because the meaning expressed in the other party's words didn't even care about his father, and he also knew his second uncle, his second uncle was the prime minister of the dynasty, Shang Bin understood that the other party was not something he could easily provoke.

"Young master, what should I do now? This is in our own shop, these soldiers are really arrogant, and they have blocked the road. The guard beside Shang Bin whispered.

"Put the guys away first, let's just wait here to see what they want to do, you go and ask what kind of fairy they are." ”

"Okay. Hearing Shang Bin's order, the guard glanced at the Praetorian Guards guarding the entrance and quickly left the inn.

The Praetorian Guards guarded the entrance, and Shang Bin couldn't keep up, so he went to the table and chair near the window and sat down, and then instructed the shopkeeper: "Go get some tea, and give some to these big-headed soldiers, but don't let people think that we are stingy." ”

"Haole, young owner, you wait. ”

The shopkeeper was a smart man, but he understood the meaning of Shang Bin's words, so he bowed his hand to the Praetorian Guards guarding the entrance: "Bother a few military masters to let go, and the little ones will go down and prepare some tea and send it." ”

Several guards looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, did not embarrass him, turned sideways and let him in, and after the shopkeeper entered the backyard of his inn, he ordered his subordinates to prepare tea, but he trotted towards Zhen Siqi's room.

Under the leadership of the guards, Li Chao came to the door of Zhen Siqi, did not reach out and knock on the door, but clasped his hands into fists, and shouted at the courtyard gate: "Li Chao, the commander of the front door of the Praetorian Guard, came to escort the holy woman into Beijing on the order of His Majesty. ”

With a squeak, the courtyard door opened, Zhen Siqi appeared at the door, looked at Li Chao in civilian clothes and the armored Praetorian Guards next to him, and said lightly: "Then it's hard General Li." ”

"This is the duty of the last general, dare not say bitter, Your Majesty said, this way is tiring, the saint and his party can stay in the palace, in order to relieve fatigue, the palace in the east of the city has been prepared, and please move the saint. ”

Li Chao's attitude towards Zhen Siqi is extremely respectful, because from the arrangement of Emperor Liu An, it can be seen what kind of status Zhen Siqi has in his heart, and now the position of the empress of Dacheng is vacant, and this stay in the palace is the most obvious hint.

Zhen Siqi smiled but refused: "This inn is not bad, and I won't go to the palace."

Li Chao said with some embarrassment: "Holy Maiden, the last general will also act according to His Majesty's will, and please ask the Holy Maiden to stay in the palace." ”

The smile on Zhen Siqi's face disappeared, and her tone became a little colder: "General Li, thank Your Majesty for your kindness for me, I won't go to the palace, please go back." ”

Since Zhen Siqi was unwilling to live in the palace, Li Chao had no choice but to retreat and say: "Since this is the case, then the general will protect the saint around, and if the saint has any needs, just send someone to tell me." ”

"General, please take care of yourself. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhen Siqi closed the courtyard door, she didn't expect Liu An's people to come so quickly, and they also made such arrangements.

"Queen?"

Zhen Siqi's expression was a little lonely, Liu An was so attentive to himself, what should he do? Do you really want to marry him and be his queen?
