Chapter 35: Entering the Palace
Not long after, a pigeon flew out of Jiangfu and headed east.
Along the way, Jun Mo kept comforting Liu Shu, Liu Shu didn't speak, just a look of loss, after returning to the Guogong Mansion, Liu Shu returned to his house, closed the door, and waited quietly alone.
Zhuge Ming looked at Liu Shu like this, and wanted to go in to accompany Liu Shu and comfort him. Jun Mo stopped Zhuge Ming and signaled not to disturb Liu Shu, leaving Liu Shu alone.
Jun Mo looked at Liu Shu's house, sighed lightly, and pulled Zhuge Ming away.
Great Qin Empire, the royal city.
A white dove landed in a small courtyard, and immediately a black shadow flashed and grabbed it, skillfully took out a piece of white paper from the pigeon's right foot, and then turned and went into the house.
"The head of the family, a letter from Fancheng. ”
A middle-aged man took the white paper in the man's hand, put it on the table, and then lit a special candle, and roasted the white paper on the candle, and the handwriting on the white paper magically appeared.
After the middle-aged man finished reading the content, he burned the piece of paper.
"Let the night three and night four go to the bustling city. ”
The person kneeling on the ground was surprised, "What kind of person, who wants to let the night shoot, or the third and fourth of the first five." ”
"I don't know, but I just roughly said that he has the strength of a great magician, let him go to a safe place, and tell them not to make extraneous branches, and deal with it cleanly. ”
"Yes. The figure on the ground flashed and disappeared into the house.
Following.
There was a group of soldiers standing outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and an old man with a white face and beard, gray hair, and a crane pattern in a green robe walked into the gate of the mansion.
"Liu Shuke?" the old man shouted in a high-pitched voice towards the courtyard.
Liu Shu staggered out, saw someone coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess, why are you here?"
Wang Gonggong said with a smile, "Liu Shu, I heard that Lord Guogong returned yesterday, and the lord of the country specially asked the old slave to come, and invited Lord Guogong to go to the palace to catch up with the lord of the country. ”
Liu Shu smiled, "Father-in-law, this news is quite well-informed, my family just came back yesterday, you know." As soon as I came back, I was in a hurry, and I hadn't seen the lord of the country in the palace yet. I was getting ready, but I didn't expect the lord of the country to send you, so I'll take you to meet my family. ”
Liu Shu took the prince to the living room, and Jun Mo was sitting in the living room, drinking tea.
"My lord, this is the prince, from the palace. ”
Jun Mo looked at the prince and said with a smile, "Princess, I have some impressions that I was with the lord of the country back then." ”
The prince covered his mouth and smiled, "Lord Guogong, you can still remember the old slave, it's really an honor for the old slave." When the lord hears that you have returned, no, let me invite you to catch up and chat. After so many years, the lord of the country misses you very much. ”
Jun Mo looked at this prince and smiled softly, "Father-in-law is very funny." Wait a minute, I'll give you an explanation. Jun Mo got up, walked to Zhuge Ming, who was cultivating in the courtyard, and said a few words.
Wang Gonggong looked at Zhuge Ming, "Ouch, it turns out that this handsome young man is your apprentice." I'm still thinking, who is this young man, Liu Shu, this old guy can't raise such a handsome son. I wonder if this little apprentice of the Lord Guogong has a marriage match?"
"There has never been a match. ”
"Yo, I see that he is almost fifteen or sixteen years old, just the right age, I have to tell the lord of the country when I go back, there are several princesses and princesses, who are of the same age. ”
Jun Mo smiled slightly, "This, it depends on Ming'er's own meaning." ”
"Yes, yes. Then, Lord Guogong, let's set off now. ”
"Well, let's go. ”
In the palace, the prince took Jun Mo, several bends, only to arrive in front of a splendid hall, eighteen large pillars, brushing the recent past, each pillar is carved with dragons and phoenixes, each is different, very grandiose.
"My lord, the lord of the kingdom is in the study at the back. You come with me. ”
Jun Mo followed the prince to the study, a small hut, but extremely exquisite, with various patterns carved on the window lattices, dragons and phoenixes carved on the door frames, and the material of the wood was also extraordinary, which was fine sandalwood.
"My lord, the lord of the country is inside, and the old slave will not go in. ”
Jun Mo pushed open the door and walked in, there was a large desk with good rosewood in the room, on which there were four treasures of the study, and on the other side was a large bed, and in the middle was a small double-layer case of red sandalwood. And on the bed was sitting a middle-aged man in ink clothes with gold rim and a rusty gold dragon, who was the lord of Fan Guo.
"Haha, the demeanor of the lord of the country is still the same. Jun Mo smiled and walked towards the lord of the country.
"Guogong, your appearance has not changed at all, and Lone is already old. The lord of the country laughed.
"Lord, you still call me Jun Mo, you call my lord a little angry. ”
The lord laughed loudly, and his voice was loud, "Haha, Jun Mo, you are really the same." Then you don't have to be the lord of the country, Fan Ye can do it. Sit down. ”
Jun Mo sat opposite Fan Ye and looked over, "Country," Fan Ye glared at Jun Mo, Jun Mo smiled and nodded, "Fan Ye, I see that your cultivation is good, and you are at the peak of your warlock." ”
Fan Ye said, "That incident touched me too much back then, and I think it is still the most important strength, and later when my family's clansmen who practiced in Qianyang Cave came to the palace, they asked for the method of cultivation, although they couldn't cultivate to be very strong, but at least they could live longer." Of course, my cultivation is nothing in front of you. Fan Ye looked at Jun Mo with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, what kind of cultivation are you, back then, you just dragged those people directly into the clouds, at least it was the late stage of the sorcerer." Now you have reached the peak of a sorcerer or even a great sorcerer. ”
Jun Mo smiled, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
Fan Ye was helpless, "Okay, I can't ask too much about this kind of thing." Don't talk about this, where have you been all these years, it's been fifteen years since you left. ”
"You also know that I have traveled the world, and naturally I go with my heart, where my heart goes, and I do what I want. ”
"I can't reach your realm, so I hope to live a few more years. Fan Ye's tone was quite helpless, then he looked out the window and whispered, "Jun Mo, I guess you also saw it when you came back this time, and there was an undercurrent surging in the bustling city." My four sons are fighting with each other, as well as the Jiang family, and they secretly don't know what they are doing, and I sent someone to check for a long time, but nothing was found. ”
Jun Mo nodded, "Well, I heard that you let the four princes govern the four sides of the prosperous city separately, and you don't care about it at all." ”
"Yes, these unfilial sons, for my position, fight openly and secretly, I have no choice but to make a decision. In this way, the performance of their governance can be seen at a glance, and they also restrain each other. Now it's up to them to fight, I'll watch. This is not the point, the point is that the Jiang family, fifteen years ago, you left later, and gave an exiled clansman a reason to punish him for raising the abandoned clansmen, it is too far-fetched, and I am not a fool, so I naturally don't want to, but later the Qianyang Cave gave pressure, and I had to keep them in Fancheng. But they never thought that their ability was too great, and they unknowingly attracted too many courtiers, and even the royal family, and finally had to give the position of prime minister, and the commander of the forbidden army was also from the Jiang family. Although I can see that the Jiang family is ambitious, but now I have no choice but to look forward to your return. ”
Jun Mo said, "Jiang family, I went yesterday. ”
Fan Ye was surprised, "You went to Jiang's house? You just went to Jiang's house on the first day?"
Jun Mo waved his hand, "I don't know anyone from the Jiang family, it's just that my servant, Liu Shu, you should also know." Fan Ye nodded, and Jun Mo continued, "The woman Liu Shudang fell in love with back then had a relationship with the Jiang family, but she had passed away, leaving behind a child, and the Jiang family had not given Liu Shu an answer for so many years. ”
Fan Ye was slightly stunned, paused for a moment, and said with a frown, "So, fifteen years ago, the people of the Jiang family approached you. ”
Jun Mo said, "This." Listening to you say that, it seems to have a bit of a conspiracy flavor. However, there is no indication of this, which does not mean much. Then do you know the origin of the Jiang family?"
Fan Ye shook his head, "I only know that I come from the Great Qin Empire, which is quite mysterious. None of the people I sent a few years ago came back. Fan Ye's face suddenly became solemn, "If the woman Liu Shu fell in love with was intentionally approached, it must be to get close to you." And you, back then, were the true martial arts prince admired by everyone in Fan Kingdom. Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid the water is very deep. ”
Fan Ye stared at Jun Mo, "What do you think?"
