26: Audience

Cheng Li's meeting with Gonggong An and the manager of the road today was just a preliminary contact. They both knew that it was impossible to meet like this and make some kind of agreement and covenant or something. In any case, in the current situation, although the meeting had all kinds of twists and turns, the final result was very pleasant for both sides.

As soon as the wine and food were empty and the conversation was over, Cheng Li took the lead in getting up to say goodbye, and then turned around and left with Xiao Jianshi.

Seeing that the main master was also gone, Lu Zhongyue naturally stopped staying. After a little delay, he also led a group of internal guards, as well as Nanzhai, Xizhen, Beicheng and others, and left after announcing his resignation.

The seat is gone, but the people are gone. Father-in-law An didn't know why, he still sat in front of the low table, not moving. His brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. On the face full of fat, I can't find half a smile, at first glance, it seems to be a little gloomy, and the straight people shudder to see it.

After a long time, Grandpa An sighed lightly and slowly stood up. Ordered: "Xiao Rong, find someone to clean up here." Remember to be clean and leave no traces. Otherwise, if you disturb your nobles, be careful that our family picks your skin. ”

The young eunuch named Xiao Rong had been standing by the side, ready to serve at any time. Listening to the master's instructions, he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and agreed. At the moment, he trotted away and went to find a servant to clean up. By the way, we also have to clean up the bodies of Lei Wanshan and several others near the stone arch bridge in the distance.

You know, this is the West Garden. The sixteen palaces over there belong to the royal family. Maybe when, there will be royal relatives coming to play and relax. These nobles saw the corpse, and if they blamed it at that time, Xiao Rong's small shoulders really couldn't bear it.

The so-called leader said a word, and the subordinates broke their legs. An Gong and Justice is this leader. So after he instructed Xiao Rong, he put his hands behind his back, walked around, and walked slowly towards the side of the palace.

The Sixteen Palaces are also hierarchical. Among them, the largest, most luxurious, and most splendid carved beams and painted palaces are dedicated to the Son of Heaven. No one except the Son of Heaven is allowed to enter without permission, otherwise he will be punished with great disrespect.

Although Gonggong An is an old minister of the Three Dynasties and is very trusted by the Son of Heaven, he will never dare to trespass. He walked into another palace courtyard next to him. Looking at the decoration and specifications of this palace, it should belong to the concubines of the Son of Heaven. However, when Zi Cai got married not long ago, the relationship between him and the queen was positive, so he had not canonized other concubines for the time being.

However, Grandpa An's footsteps did not stop, and he kept walking towards the depths of the palace. Along the way, you can see many servants and subordinates, holding various things in their hands, hurriedly shuttling around. It seems to be very busy. However, these people seemed to be completely blind to Grandpa An, and none of them slowed down a little, saluted and said hello to Grandpa An.

This is very unusual. You must know that with the status of Gonggong An, even if the queen comes, she will never treat it like nothing, and she will inevitably stop smiling and saying hello. But the servants here dare to do what the queen wouldn't do?

But what is even more strange is that even Grandpa An himself, as if he couldn't see these servants at all, did not show the slightest annoyance because no one saluted him. He walked leisurely and walked into a palace. A moment later, I was in a room in the deepest part of the temple.

The room has no windows and is completely sealed. Even the only gate was closed tightly as soon as Grandpa An walked in. Therefore, even though it is still daytime, the room is as deep as midnight. The only source of light was two oil lamps as dim as beans.

The floor was covered with a thick layer of purple velvet carpet. A beaded curtain divides the room into two halves. The first half is empty. In the second half, in front of the beaded curtain, there is a chair that is very understated, but in fact very luxurious.

Grandpa An knelt down on the floor. His forehead was close to the ground, and he said respectfully: "The old slave is safe and vulgar, and I respectfully invite the master." ”

"Whew~"

In the completely sealed room, an eerie breeze blew from Huer. The wind has not stopped, and on the chair behind the bead curtain, there is already a faint figure. The dim light could not illuminate the true face of Lushan Mountain. It can only outline the enchanting and graceful posture of wearing a gorgeous costume and full of pearls. Even if you sit still, there is still infinite charm coming out of the body. As you can imagine, this must be a peerless beauty.

A pair of peach blossom eyes lifted lightly with the intention of looking at all beings. A touch of plump red lips, with a tactful and charming voice, spit out calm and domineering words.

"Gong An, please get up. How's it going? You've already met the man, right?"

Father-in-law An respectfully thanked him. Get up from the ground. But he was still half-kneeling and half-sitting, and he didn't dare to look up at the figure behind the beaded curtain. Ning Sheng replied.

"Return to the master. I've already met with the man. It was true that the man knew the Divine Gate. The 'Great Compassion Fu', which disappeared with the old Holy Lord, has finally seen the light of day. ”

The figure behind the bead curtain seemed to tremble slightly. But then it calmed down again. Said lightly: "Oh, what happened? ”

Gonggong An suddenly said, "Yes." The old slave was at the behest of his master to test the man's details. It just so happened that the guards in the palace had a small fight yesterday, so they ...... And so and so on...... This and that...... That's the details. Please be aware of the master. ”

The figure behind the beaded curtain sighed softly, "I see. In order to test the details of that person, An Gong took an apprentice in his own family. In addition, a rainstorm pear flower needle was bought back with 100,000 taels of silver. In addition, there are a number of favors. Well, it's a good job. ”

Grandpa An's whole body trembled, as if he was too excited because he was too happy. He bowed deeply again and said in a trembling voice: "Being able to do things for the master is a blessing that the old slave has cultivated for several lifetimes, where can there be any hardship." Moreover, Chen Fahai's guy is a brainless fool at all. The old slave never told him the origin of his own lineage. Therefore, he can't really be regarded as the apprentice of the old slave. ”

The figure behind the bead curtain said lightly: "This is not a big deal, the real big thing is: Next, how should we treat this Cheng Li?

Gonggong An muttered: "Decades ago, the previous old holy lord disappeared. The Holy Gate was leaderless and immediately divided. The trend of ZTE, which finally appeared, also died. Although our vein has been dormant and endured for decades, we have finally accumulated a little strength. But the great cause of the ideal of the Holy Gate is still too weak after all.

Therefore, it is imperative to reunite the Holy Gate and unite the branches of the Holy Gate once again. Otherwise, it is not enough to compete with the three religions, let alone complete the great cause of the Holy Gate. And this matter, in the eyes of the old slave, and how to treat Cheng Li, is actually two sides of one, one and two, two and one. ”
