Chapter 120: Step by Step (5)
The door of the Vermilion Palace opened, and a deep and heavy voice echoed in the empty imperial city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info heavy eaves cover the rising sun in the sky, in the wide and cold palace alley, a red and white two teams of people under the guidance of the internal officials, slowly to the harem.
Deep palace lanes, red walls and golden tiles, the ground paved with bluestone is smooth and clean like a mirror, embellished with white jade, the center of the path is chiseled into a lotus, the flowers bloom their shapes, vivid, lifelike.
Duan Qingcheng raised his eyes slightly in the crowd, and the gorgeous cornices seemed to be overwhelming towards this place, and the sense of majesty of Sen Sen was overwhelming. Deep palace, layers of heavy security, comparable to thirty-three heaven and earth, can she really get the relics from this kind of place smoothly and get out?
A feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart, but now that she had no other choice, she was already here, whether it was the Demon Cave or the Yama Hall in front of her, for the sake of Wuhuan, she was not qualified to fail.
When noon was approaching, the two teams of beauties finally arrived in the harem, and what was waiting for them was the final inspection of Chen Lin, the chief manager of the inner palace.
Knowing that this pass was difficult, Duan Chengcheng and Jiang Xiaolou were not honest people, but fortunately, they had investigated this Chief Manager Chen in advance, and they had already prepared.
So when they saw this manager Chen, the two of them each bribed the chief manager with a lot of money in the name of taking care of him. Most of the people in the palace are snobs, so they point to making a fortune at this time, how can someone take the initiative to send it to the door? Besides, he is such a generous financier.
The chief manager Chen Lin was very satisfied with this, so he naturally turned a blind eye to the matter of Duan Tingcheng and Jiang Xiaolou, and the two of them passed the test one after another.
After the inspection, the people who passed the pass continued to follow the chief steward Chen Lin to the inner hall to wait, and the men and women stood in two rows in the hall, waiting for the Son of Heaven to come and see.
I heard that there was this one, but Jiang Xiaolou was in a hurry, he felt weak when he thought that the emperor Lao'er was going to come in a while, what if the emperor Lao'er fell in love with him?
He shook his head in disgust, no, no, Jin Se said, that the emperor Lao'er is a broken sleeve, he is wearing women's clothes now, it's okay......
"The emperor has arrived!"
Just as Jiang Xiaolou was comforting himself, the shrill and loud voice of the inner official sounded outside the hall gate, and he was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue.
"Welcome to the emperor, long live my emperor......" everyone in the inner hall bowed to the ground, bowing their heads one after another, and no one dared to make a mistake before the Son of Heaven spoke. Everyone held their breath, and there was no sound in the huge palace, except for the footsteps of one person clearly echoing in the silent palace.
Without any eunuch and palace maid entourage, Gong Ling only brought a black-clothed guard with a knife beside her, and the moment the two stepped into the palace, Duan Qingcheng felt a faint murderous aura, but she couldn't raise her head easily, so she had to kneel on the ground and not move.
That Manager Chen is different from these stunned young men who knelt on the ground, and he has long been accustomed to seeing these scenes. After Gong Ling stepped into the inner hall with the black-clothed guard, he followed attentively, "Your Majesty, everyone is here, this time they are all carefully selected, the posture is good, the emperor has seen it?" ”
"Really?" Gong Ling chuckled disdainfully, "Then I want to see how good it can be......"
There were not a few good ones in the first few batches, but this time it can be good again. He glanced helplessly at the little beauties who knelt on the ground, and sighed sleepily.
The black-clothed guard with a knife stood aside, while Gong Ling leaned back on the chair behind him casually, looking lazily at the beauties below, "You all have to be flat." ”
"Your Majesty." Everyone rose up in response, but they still kept their heads down, not daring to cross the slightest.
"Raise your head so that I can take a good look at what you look like......" Gong Ling leaned on the couch with one hand, looking a little impatient.
When the beauties heard this, they cautiously raised their heads, their eyes still looking straight ahead, and no one dared to look at Gong Ling easily, except for Jiang Xiaolou.
From just now, the whole palace was inexplicably filled with a nervous feeling, and when the emperor Lao'er let him be flat, he forgot all about the next etiquette, and directly looked up at the place where the emperor Lao'er was.
But when he saw the real person, he was stunned, shouldn't the so-called emperor be an old man with a fat brain? Why is he a flute boy?
As if sensing his gaze, Gong Ling glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, but he only felt a headache when he looked at him.
"It's quite bold, but it's ugly." He shook his head, smiled weirdly, and then got up angrily and kicked the manager Chen away, pointed to Jiang Xiaolou's place and said angrily: "Didn't you say that this time they are all good goods, this is what you said about good goods?" Are you blind? ”
"The slave should die, the emperor is angry...... Manager Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
Hearing Gong Ling's words just now, Jiang Xiaolou only felt that a nameless fire was rising upward, and the small flying knife hidden in his sleeve was tightly held in his hand and was about to be thrown out at any time. It's the first time someone says he's ugly when he's grown so big, this person really has a kind of ......
As if sensing Jiang Xiaolou's murderous aura, the black-clothed guard had a murderous intent in his eyes and was waiting for an opportunity to move. And Duan Qingcheng's eyes were quick, and he condensed his qi at his fingertips and pointed straight at Jiang Xiaolou, and he hit Jiang Xiaolou's wrist impartially.
Jiang Xiaolou withdrew his hand in slight pain, he glanced at Duan Qingcheng with resentment, obviously not knowing that there were masters in the hall. And Duan Chengcheng just shook his head at him slightly and then ignored him, Jiang Xiaolou had no choice but to sigh.
He is now in the palace, and in order to save his life and that of Allure, he can only be obedient.
The manager Chen was so frightened that he lost half his life, got up again and begged on the side: "Your Majesty, this is purely an accident, and the servants don't know what's going on, Your Majesty, take a look at the other ......."
"I can't do this thing, I really should chop up your dog minions and feed them to the dogs......" Gong Ling straightened her clothes angrily, then turned around and walked forward, and continued to look at the other beauties standing in the hall, and the black-clothed guards also followed behind Gong Ling silently when they saw this.
When she saw other beauties, Gong Ling's mood finally improved. The dog slave was really right, except for the one just now, the other postures are indeed better.
"What's your name?" He went straight around Jiang Xiaolou, walked up to a woman in red with a beautiful posture and asked, I don't know why, although the other women were dressed similarly, this one always gave him an indescribable sense of charm.
The woman's knowledgeable blessing was blessed, "Back to the emperor, the people's girl Manluo." ”
"Manlo, good name, as beautiful as yours." The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was already a little interest in his eyes, and this time the goods really did not disappoint him.
"Chen Lin, send this beauty to the Jade Palace." He commanded, his inexplicable eyes still wandering over the woman named Manro.
"Yes, the minion understands." Manager Chen replied in the back, seeing that the emperor was happy, his hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach.
After reading the beauty, Gong Ling was finally willing to put his eyes on the group of handsome men who had been waiting on the side for a long time, and his expression was slightly more serious than just now, as if he had a deeper intention in the group of people in front of him.
He looked over one by one without saying a word, and when he saw the last person again, his gaze paused.
"What's your name?" He asked suddenly, his voice slightly deep, and with a bit of deterrence.
Duan Qingcheng pinched a sweat for herself, she was silent for a moment without moving, and replied with her fists clenched: "Back to the emperor, villain Duan Qing." ”
"Duan Qing, this name is quite neat." Gong Ling looked at the person in front of her carefully, and a little inquiry rose in her eyes, "I see that you are different from others, not like a scholar in white, but more like a person from the rivers and lakes......"
"The villain is indeed a martial artist." She said.
"Really?" Gong Ling looked at her and nodded suspiciously, already keeping this person in her heart.
He has read countless people in the palace since he was a child, and his eyesight will never be wrong, although this person tries his best to hide his edge, but his own courage is not beyond the reach of ordinary people. If it is forged again, it will never be in the pool in the future.
But it's a pity, Gong Ling shook her head regretfully. It's rare to have such a good temperament, and he was born with a skin, but he is a man...... (To be continued.) )
