Chapter 23: The Empress Summons

After Kumei left, we also went home, Ma Jing wanted to ask me something several times, but I didn't dare to squeak when I saw my mother on the side, in fact, don't talk about her, it took a lot of trouble to explain this problem clearly with my mother.

The old mother said: "It turns out that Kumei's master is a sword god, no wonder she is so good." ”

This is said as if nothing is wrong with me, and it doesn't seem like I'm connected with the sword god at all, but this is maternal love, in the mother's heart, no matter what the identity of the son is, first of all, his own son, domineering and natural.

Returning to the general's mansion before waiting for a rest, someone suddenly reported that Her Majesty the Empress had an oracle, and the old mother was about to put on the incense case, and the messenger said that it was not necessary, and then a female official came in, and saw that the clothes should not be the rank of the imperial court, wearing a green coat soap boots, wearing a wingless black yarn, but there were three yellow ribbons tied around the waist, and the old mother whispered to me: "This is a close person around the emperor, similar to our ancient eunuchs." ”

I can't help but wonder, how can a woman be a eunuch? Could it be that there is an iron crotch inside?

The person who came was full of smiles, and said to his mother again and again: "Congratulations to the general for doing another miraculous work for the country." ”

My mother also arched her hand and said, "Aunt Cao is working hard, I don't know how to say this?" ”

It turned out that the person next to the emperor of the daughter country was called Auntie, and Aunt Cao said: "Master Kumei has met the saint face-to-face, and the sword god has come to the general's mansion, isn't this a great achievement?" ”

My mother said, "Is the Holy Lord going to summon the Sword God?" ”

Aunt Cao said: "Exactly." ”

Mom said, "Then let's leave now?" ”

Aunt Cao waved her hand and said with a smile: "I'm not busy, for the sake of grandeur, Your Majesty has prepared a hundred times of honor guards, and I will arrive later, I just came to set up an outpost so that I could inform the general." ”

The old mother said movingly: "Hundred times the honor guard? Isn't that something that Your Majesty can use? ”

Aunt Cao said: "Your Majesty said, it is an honor for my country for the Sword God to come to the country of my daughter, and this hundred times of honor guard can also be used." ”

The old mother said solemnly: "Obey the imperial decree." ”

Aunt Cao's head turned back and forth, and she said cautiously, "I don't know where Mr. Sword God is now?" ”

"Uh...... "Mom didn't know what to say, I was standing by her side all the time, and this Aunt Cao actually turned a blind eye to me.

I coughed and said, "I am." ”

"Huh?" Aunt Cao was taken aback, to say that a person like her who was around the emperor collapsed to the top and did not change his color is the minimum basic skill, seeing me suddenly come out and say that I am a sword god, I still couldn't help but be taken aback, but in the end, it is a clever character, through the observation of the people present, I saw that I was not joking, and immediately laughed: "What a young sword god." This sentence turned from an accident to an exclamation, and a clever compliment, the transition in the middle showed no traces, and the kung fu of slapping the sycophants was really perfect.

I replied, "Aren't you the same?" "This Aunt Cao has fine skin and tender eyes, and she looks like she is no more than 30 years old, which is very different from the old eunuch in my heart whose face is like a furoshi.

At this time, someone reported that the honor guard outside had arrived, and Aunt Cao straightened up and said, "Mr. Sword God, please." ”

I walked out first, my mother followed behind me, Aunt Cao was half a step behind, I just stepped out of the gate of the General's Mansion, Leng Ding's ears heard a booming cannon, I was so frightened that my feet jumped, my mother hurriedly pressed me, and then the cannon sounded 11 times, and my mother quietly told me that the emperor could only sound 12 times when he drove the imperial expedition.

Outside the general's mansion, there are many queues, countless armor of the Royal Forest Army stands majestically beside the horses, a long row of copper carriages and horses stopped on the avenue, there is no boundary, four horses are a ride, in addition to the driver, there is a soldier holding Changge on both sides, standing quietly on the car, they saw me come out, and shouted in unison: "Respectfully Mr. Sword God." ”

Aunt Cao said, "Mr. Sword God, please get in the car." ”

I looked at my mother, my mother nodded at me slightly, I got into the car only to find that it was cheerful, the car was fragrant, the brocade mat was sprinkled with flowers, I plopped out a place to sit down, someone outside shouted leisurely and heartily: "Let's go-"

The Imperial Forest Army got on the horse to open the road, followed by 8864 umbrella covers, and then 2000 army warriors, and then the convoy, but the convoy was still mixed with countless Huangluo umbrella covers, and the team stretched for several miles, this is just a formal guard of honor, there were already vanguard troops with loess to clean the street, and there were sergeants standing guard every ten steps on the side of the road, this time I fully experienced the majesty of an emperor.

This time the guard of honor does not play the evasion card, so the people are flocking to the street to watch, and after a while, the news of the reincarnation of the sword god coming to the daughter country will spread, people look at my carriage, their eyes are full of envy, and some people whispered: "Tsk, this reincarnated sword god doesn't know how to compare with our Lord Su?" ”

This is the third time I have stepped into the capital of my daughter's country, and when I think back on the first two experiences, it is really like a lifetime away...... I sighed for a while, and clamped my leg vigorously - I haven't gone to the toilet since the morning, and I was just about to go back, when Aunt Cao came, to the emperor's messenger, you can't say that I will pee and then go with you. Just now there was a fresh energy, this will be high, I can't stand it a little, secretly opened the bead curtain a crack to see, see that the team in front of me is still slowly marching on the street as far as the eye can see, I don't know when I will be able to reach the palace. The wooden cart was running over on the ground, so that my teeth were sore, and I felt that the crotch of my pants seemed to be sandwiched with a puddle of lake water, rippling up wave by wave, I couldn't help it, I opened the door of the car a palm-wide place, and asked the Jin Ge warrior on the left hand side of the car: "Sister, I said when will we arrive?" ”

As a member of the emperor's honor guard, the female soldier was naturally strictly trained, and she stood there with a solemn and inviolable expression, listening to me talk from behind, she didn't dare to turn back, and she didn't dare to ignore it, so she had to move her neck back slightly, and said in a weak voice: "It's almost over, Mr. Sword God don't be impatient." ”

I had to come back, and then I poked my head in the doorway and said, "Tell me how many miles there is?" ”

The female soldier couldn't laugh or cry, and whispered: "It's just seven or eight miles." ”

I can't roughly calculate, it will take at least half an hour at this speed, which will make me fall for a while, and my whole body will be slightly chilled, and I will be so bumpy for half an hour, and when I get to the place, I can directly take Aunt Cao's position...... I bent my waist and looked around in the car, hoping to find something like a toilet, although I also think it's unlikely, this is just the emperor's usual honor guard car out of the palace, which is used when making appearances, the toilet will never be placed here, even if it usually has, it won't be today, the sword god just came to the daughter country, what is the word to put a toilet in the car?

My hopes were dashed, the line was still moving in an orderly manner, I had no crotch, I just felt that it was not so rosy...... Fortunately, after the convoy got on the avenue, it gradually got faster, and it was only ten minutes, the front guard stopped abruptly, rearranged neatly, I quietly glanced out, and saw that my carriage just stopped in front of a huge palace gate, and without waiting to take a closer look, the yellow gate official shouted melodiously: "Mr. Sword God has arrived, and hundreds of officials are lined up to greet him." ”

For a while, the palace door was wide open, all the officials were wearing court clothes, and Wen Dongwu Xi Station walked out in two long rows one after another, all with solemn expressions.

Aunt Cao trotted to my car and said with a smile, "Mr. Sword God, please take a seat." ”

I stepped out of the car in the eyes of hundreds of officials, only to hear the other side roaring: "Welcome Mr. Sword God!" ”

At this time, I don't know what to say, I didn't expect my specifications to be so high, it seems that this is equivalent to the noon gate of the Forbidden City, the empress actually asked the ministers to line up at the gate of their own house to greet each other, I had to wave my hand to the opposite side, but all the civil and military officers hung their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and no one responded.

"Uh......" My hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly.

Aunt Cao smiled and said, "Sir, please come with me, Your Majesty is waiting for you outside the Golden Palace." "She walked in front of me to lead the way, and the hundred officials automatically gave way to both sides, and I walked between them, and I kept looking back, hoping to get my mother's hints, but she also returned to the ministers, but fortunately, she was the first in the martial arts class, not too far from me.

After the palace gate, the front of the Golden Palace is also a square, the terrain is not cramped at all than the General's Mansion, but it is a little less solemn and a little more solemn, here is the political center and the peak of power of the daughter country, the architectural style also perfectly reflects the characteristics of the daughter country, a corridor, a column, a step and a ladder are all finely carved, compared to the ancient imperial palace I saw on TV and in the literature, although it is a little less majestic and a little more beautiful, but the grandeur and solemnity are not inferior at all.

Far away, I saw a small group of people waiting at the entrance of the Golden Palace, one of them was wearing a sky blue robe, embroidered with a golden dragon, wearing a purple and gold gauze crown, and a night pearl embedded in the crown.

Aunt Cao walked forward in a small wrong step, obviously not walking fast and still busy working, which made me inexplicably nervous, Aunt Cao muttered as she walked: "Your Majesty has instructed, Mr. does not have to go to the Ministry of Rites to perform the ceremony, this is an ordinary and rare Enlong, and I hope that Mr. will be more cautious for a while." ”

"Oh." I answered, as we walked forward, the silhouette of a column of people in front of the palace gradually appeared, we just walked to the center of the square, the man wearing the crown also walked towards us, Aunt Cao lost color and said: "Your Majesty is not only waiting at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, but actually personally steps to greet us." ”

As I got closer and closer, I finally saw the person's appearance, and I saw her with a pair of eyebrows lightly swept away, her eyelids slender and her nose straight, her lips were thin and the corners of her mouth were upturned, and she seemed to be around thirty-five years old, and her eyes were soft, and she walked towards me.

When the ministers behind me saw the emperor coming, they knelt down together and said, "Long live my emperor!" "I looked back at no one standing, I couldn't help but feel a little cramped, I didn't know what to salute, I refused to bow down, and the handshake seemed too shocking, salute I'm not a soldier, and it doesn't seem like it's okay to hold my fists...... The empress probably noticed my uneasiness, and smiled indifferently: "Mr. Sword God doesn't have to be formal. Then he said to the ministers behind me, "All the ministers are flat and follow the words in the palace." The voice is always crisp and soft, and this female emperor above 10,000 people is as gentle as everyone's ladies.

The ministers shouted long live again, and then they got up, and the empress came to my side and walked side by side with me, and said softly: "Sir, please." ”

There were four or five old ministers behind her, all of them were gorgeously dressed old ladies, they should be pavilion elders with transcendent status, and Kumei was among them, and those old ladies all looked at me curiously, as if they were puzzled by such a young sword god. But no one dared to say much, so they all turned behind me and the empress and entered the palace together.

It seems that the diligent administration hall is the main hall of the empress of the daughter country, the hall is nearly 30 meters deep, the hall is full of cigarette smoke, the front south back north is placed in the dragon book case, the dragon chair, under the steps of the dragon book case, there is also a Taishi chair, in the empty hall above the dragon chair is it, it looks very eye-catching. The Empress led me straight to the Grand Master's chair and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

It turned out that this was prepared for me, since the emperor has a decree, I don't plan to be polite, I looked back at my mother, and saw that she shook her head slightly at me, but fortunately, I was still smart, and said busily: "It's better for the emperor to ask first." ”

The empress said, "Sir is too polite. ”

I smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's up to you." ”

The empress smiled and climbed the stairs, and as soon as she sat down, I saw four women in the same costume as Aunt Cao running out of the palace, each carrying a small pier in their hands, and quickly placed it behind the old ladies who were waiting in front of the palace with the empress just now, and disappeared quickly.

The old ladies thanked the empress together, and then sat down, it turned out that except for Kumei, only three of them were qualified to sit in the Qinzheng Palace. This used to be a supreme honor, but today it is differentβ€”the three old ladies looked at my chair and at their little pier, and rolled their eyes at me.

In fact, I myself was very uncomfortable, in addition to the three cabinet elders, there were also many elderly ladies among the ministers, and these few people also reminded me of the "old, young, sick and disabled" special table, as a big man sitting among them, I felt a lot of pressure...... Which angry young man saw this meeting and took a photo and posted it to me on the Internet, I must not be fleshed to death?

The Empress flicked the sleeves of her robe and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I got good news early this morning: the reincarnated sword god has been found by Su Jing, the prince of Zhongjie, and has come to my daughter's country. ”

Only then did I know that Su Jing originally had the title of Duke of Zhongjie, no wonder the common people wanted to call her Master Su.

The hundred officials didn't dare to take a closer look just now, but at this time, they all looked at me left and right through the empress's words, and they had the meaning of seeing if the sword god looked round or square.

The Empress continued: "It is really an honor for my whole country to have the Sword God here, and I intend to reduce the taxes in March and give amnesty to the world to celebrate. ”

This kind of small matter, the emperor has already made a decision, how can the ministers have any objections, and for a time there was a voice of praise and praise.

I whispered, "If you find me a few days earlier, Geng Ling and them won't have to rebel." ”

Seeing that I muttered, the Empress turned her head and said, "Does Mr. Sword God have something to say?" ”

I scratched my head and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I don't know if Master Kumei told you clearly, although I am the reincarnated sword god you are looking for, but I still don't have any sword energy at all, if I want to recover my ability, I have to go back." ”

"I already know that." The empress smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, which hero has not gone through a lot of hardships to make a difference?" Mr.'s experience just confirms this sentence, Mr. adheres to the will of God, and these small twists and turns are not a problem. ”

I can't help but be a little moved, although what she said are some big and inappropriate kind words, but this attitude of treating everyone equally still makes me a little surprised, it is said that I am the hero when he is in trouble, a sword god without sword energy, not even a sword boy, but people still use the unprecedented heavy gift to receive me, send their own car to pick me up, let the ministers meet at the door, and finally I personally ran out of the living room, how to say it is enough to be righteous.

The empress said, "I'll arrange for sending my husband back." She turned to her ministers and said, "Who is in charge of the Magic Division?" ”

At the front of Wenchen's row, someone next to the three elders answered: "It's me." This person answered the emperor's question, using only two simple words, without the slightest red tape, obviously in addition to the very high status is also favored, she answered the empress's words, but her eyes kept looking at me with a smile, I only glanced at her, and I was so shocked that I almost fell off the chair, and couldn't help but say: "It's you?" ”

This person is wearing a purple court robe and a crown of pearls, and compared with the ministers behind him, he is outstanding, but he is the beautiful woman I met when I first came to my daughter's country!

The empress didn't think it was wrong, but looked at the beautiful woman and smiled helplessly, just like to a younger brother or sister who was often naughty and embarrassed herself, and sure enough, the empress smiled and said to me: "This is my sister, and her surname is a little out of the way, don't blame me, sir." The empress never put herself in a high position, and her tone of voice was very homely, and she suddenly said in surprise, "What, could it be that Mr. Sword God has already seen her?" ”

"Uh, no...... "What do you think I should say?" If you ask the next person again, it will be exposed, the dignified sword god ran to do that, and was almost made a benefactor by the prince of the dynasty, when the time comes, I will be embarrassed, and the court of the daughter country will also lose face, and the empress will not be able to push out me, the nominal sword god, to behead.

Seeing that the two of us looked strange and didn't know the point, the empress had to say, "Yunquan, how many hours does it take to activate the magic array again?" ”

The beautiful woman still looked at me with a smile, arched her hands upwards and said, "Back to the imperial sister, it can be launched within three days, if I hurry up, it will be no problem in two days." ”

The empress said angrily: "What a bastard, what do you tell you to hurry?" ”

The beautiful woman chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, two days." ”

Only then did the empress say: "Two days later, I want you to send Mr. back accurately, if there is a half-point difference, I will ask you." ”

The beautiful woman suddenly put away her smile and said, "It's just that the imperial sister, it's easy to send the sword god back, but there is a problem I don't know how to solve?" ”

"Say."

The beautiful woman said: "The use of the magic array requires a very rare magic stone, my country has tried its best to find nothing more than enough to go once, when Su Jing went, the magic stone has already been used half, and the big array is opened again, and the half that is ready to be given back is used, in this way, I am afraid that Mr. Sword God will go and not return, and if he wants to gather the magic stone, I don't know what year and month it will be." ”

The Empress muttered, "That's a problem. ”

I was afraid of an accident, so I hurriedly raised my arm and said, "I have a way!" ”

The Empress said, "Oh, sir, please." ”

I said, "We have a thing called the Golden Jade Clothes, which is probably similar to the magic stone you said, and the reason why I was able to come to the daughter country is because I accidentally touched it, and I think that since I can come once, you can come a second time as long as you send me back." ”

The beautiful woman questioned, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Before I could speak, Kumei said with a blank expression: "What my master said is not child's play? ”

The empress said, "It's so best, then it's decided!" ”

After reading the book review area, everyone is denouncing Long Yang Yang for not learning and being unmotivated, he is the emperor of soy sauce, but it is ...... But this book was dictated by him and I beat it, Xiaohua has been writing a documentary, to be honest, it is already my bottom limit to build an army in my daughter's country, in fact, everyone asks yourself, from a documentary point of view, even if you are really put in such a country, can you be a cow? I think it's like letting Zhang explode 100,000 a day - it's possible, but it may be a small surname. The strength of Longyang Yang Yang was very terrifying, but that was later, who would not be respected if he had the strength, and he was really awesome if he didn't have the strength to be respected!

(To be continued)
