Chapter 612: Imperial City
Seeing the palace, Su Wen knew that his destination had finally arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it went through a bit of twists and turns, I finally arrived smoothly.
At this time, the second prince Li Zongping was standing outside the palace gate, his face was still calm, but he rubbed his hands from time to time, feeling that his hands were full of sweat.
This time, he also took a great risk.
If Su Wen succeeds, then he still has the strength to fight.
If Su Wen fails, then the treatment waiting for him can be imagined. I'm afraid that neither the prince nor the Daomen will make themselves feel better.
Su Wen and the others got off the car 500 meters outside the palace, where there was a parking lot, and a third of the seats in it were parked, making people guess that there were still many people in the palace at this time.
After the driver found a place to stop the car, he led Su Wen and the others towards the palace.
There is an artificial moat about four meters wide outside the palace, there is an arch bridge in front of the palace gate, the second prince Li Zongping saw someone coming and came to the arch bridge to wait, it didn't take long to recognize the person was Su Wen and others, and finally fell a stone in his heart.
He had always been worried that Su Wen and the others would be stopped halfway, and he didn't think that what he had done could be hidden.
Fortunately, Su Wen and the others arrived safely.
When Su Wen and a few people got closer, he found that the others looked fine, but Su Wen looked a little embarrassed.
The robe was not on his body, and the monk's robe was missing a sleeve, and there were many blood stains on his clothes.
"Master Su Wen, what's wrong with you?" Li Zongping asked.
"There were people blocking the way, but it was fine. Su Wen said after saluting.
The driver and Xinghui thought to themselves, it's no wonder it's okay, and even one of their arms was broken. But now that Su Wen moved his arms freely, the two of them felt more and more that they had just hallucinated.
Li Zongping didn't know this, so he asked in a slow tone, "Who is blocking the way?"
"Two waves, a Taoist priest, a sword immortal. Su asked.
Speaking of the sword immortal, Su Wen still felt a little regretful. It took a lot of hardships to reach such a state, but it's a pity that it stopped there.
"Sword Immortal?" Li Zongping was a little surprised, if it was a Taoist priest, he would not be surprised, but he had only heard of the Sword Immortal, but he had never seen it, and Su Wen had actually encountered it.
"Exactly. Su Wen nodded, his hand beckoned back, Seng Man handed over the golden sword, Su Wen handed it to Li Zongping: "He left it." ”
"What did he stay?" Li Zongping was surprised at first after carefully stroking the little sword, and then thought that if the sword immortal really left all the swords, that person would also stay.
This Su Wen turned out to be a killing ring on the way?
But it's not good to say much about this, Li Zongping looked at the flying sword for a while, and then handed it to Su Wen: "Master, please go in and take a look." ”
Su Wen nodded: "What is the situation now?"
"It's not too good, I woke up for a while before dinner, and I couldn't hold on to sleep for about an hour. Li Zongping said. "I've seen some of the best doctors in the country, and there's nothing too good to do. ”
Su Wen nodded, birth, old age, sickness and death, even the emperor can't escape.
"Let's go and have a look first!" Su Wen nodded, always going to see the situation first, and then taking out the prepared things himself.
"And the body of the sword immortal is still on the way, the second prince had better let someone deal with it. ”
"Understood. Li Zongping nodded, made a gesture to the driver, and then asked Su a few people: "Please also invite a few masters to come with me." ”
The imperial city is divided into two parts, the inner and outer cities, and the outer city accounts for the vast majority, which is the location of the three halls of heaven, earth and man and the cabinet. Among them, the Tianzi Hall is the so-called Jinluan Palace, the place where the emperor went to court.
However, although Xinhua is now an imperial state, most things are in charge of the cabinet, and the emperor holds the highest military power.
And the inner city is the residence of the royal family.
It was easier to enter the outer city area than Su Wen thought, and after registering Su Wen and a few people, he brought them in.
From time to time, the registration officer looked up at Su Wen, and as far as he knew, it was the first time in all years that a monk had entered the place.
After completing the registration, Su Wen and a few people walked into this place that has been the core of the country for hundreds of years under the leadership of Li Zongping for the first time.
The Imperial City has remained unchanged since the beginning of the previous dynasty, and more than two dozen imperial emperors once ruled the country here.
This also filled the imperial city with a heavy and solemn atmosphere.
There were not many people in the outer city, and there were few lights in the palaces and pavilions, and Su Wen and the others only saw a few sparse people walking briskly along the way, and then a group of patrolling soldiers.
After walking inside for a long time, a few people came to another palace gate.
After the palace gate is the inner city, the real residence of the emperor of this country.
It was much more troublesome to enter the inner city, even if it was led by Li Zongping, several people had been inspected layer by layer, and the little golden sword was searched.
The two herbs that Su Wen had brought with him were also examined several times, and the herbs looked strange, one in the shape of grass, but the surface was like a veneer.
The other plant is dark purple and has white rhizomes.
"Master Su Wen, what is this?" Li Zongping took the time to ask Su Wen about the two herbs.
"It should work. Su Wen said, not saying much.
After entering the inner city, Su Wen and the others felt that the inner city and the outer city felt completely different.
The outer city feels majestic, solemn, and full of political atmosphere.
The inner city feels a little more vibrant, full of flowers and trees, and more pavilions and pavilions.
If you think about it, a big reason why the outer city feels so solemn is because it is so empty, and only a few tall halls stand in the darkness as far as the eye can see, and everyone can only see the general outline. There was no sound around, few flowers and trees, and there were huge stone floors and towering walls, all of which combined with the silence and felt oppressive.
The crowd walked for a long time in the inner city, where there were far more soldiers patrolling than outside, and many of them were women.
Su Wen and the others could feel that there was always someone staring at them in the dark from inside, which made people's backs always feel a little uncomfortable.
Finally arrived at a courtyard, there was a team of soldiers guarding the door, Li Zongping asked Su in a low voice: "Master Lao Fu will wait here first, and I will go in and inform the queen mother." ”
After Su Wen nodded, Li Zongping said a word to the team of soldiers and entered the courtyard.
Su Wen stood in place, and could smell the strong smell of Chinese medicine coming from the courtyard, and at the same time, he could also hear the hurried footsteps in the courtyard.
I guessed in my heart that the emperor should be in this courtyard.
Turning his head to look at Xinghui, he seemed to be a little nervous.
After all, he is the ruler of this country, and he has a supreme position in the hearts of all Chinese people. Although Xinghui is a monk, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity at this time, even if he knows that he is afraid that he will not be able to see this emperor.
As for Dao Ji and Seng Man, this is a leisurely appearance, patrolling around there, and they don't mind being glared at by the soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard.
For them, the emperor is just an ordinary person.
After waiting for a long time, a woman appeared at the door, dressed in a military uniform, with a calm and indifferent expression.
"You guys, come with me. The woman looked at Su Wen and the others for a while and said.
The voice and look give people the same feeling, cold.
Su Wen and the others followed the woman in, and finally saw the whole picture of the courtyard, a continuous temple in it, the temple was brightly lit, and many people walked in and out of the temple gate quickly.
In front of the temple, there is a lake, on which a continuous water pavilion is horizontally allocated, and the waves reflect the lights not far away.
