"Bi Ran......!" The emperor sat in the first place, looked at me and shouted softly.

"The lower official is here!" I hurriedly answered.

"Today, since you are ready to visit the ten states, then I will ask you to come to the last and explain a few words to you." The emperor looked at me and said.

"The lower officials remember the emperor's teachings." I saluted again.

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, and turned his head to look at King Ming on the side, "Bi Ran, King Ming said that yesterday I asked Qiong'er to give you a talisman, can you receive it?" ”

"The lower official has received it." As I spoke, I pulled out the small small card from my bosom.

"Hmm." The emperor nodded again and continued: "As soon as you leave today, the princess and Qiong'er will be handed over to you, although visiting the ten states is not a big deal, but these ten states are far away from the capital, and there may be unexpected situations along the way, you must remember that you must not show your identity until you have to, only in this way can you see the real situation of the people in these ten states and counties, and you can also see the situation of officials in these counties and counties." ”

"Yes, keep in mind!" I nodded.

The emperor looked at me and suddenly asked, "Bi Ran, why did you come to see me with a sharp sword today?" ”

"...... this?" Listening to the emperor's words, I was afraid in my heart, I had already committed a big taboo to come to the emperor with a sharp blade, how can I answer? !

King Ming on the side smiled, looked at the emperor and said: "Brother Huang doesn't know, Bi Ran's wife-in-law Situ Hong is proficient in swordsmanship, and Bi Ran naturally followed her to learn a move and a half, which can also be used for self-defense!" ”

"Oh?!" The emperor listened to King Ming's words and couldn't help but look at me. "Bi Ran, what King Ming said is the truth?"

"Back to the emperor, it's like this." I replied stiffly.

"In that case, then you can give me two strokes to open my eyes." When the emperor heard my answer, he immediately said.

"...... this?" When I heard it, I was in trouble again, "Back to the emperor, the lower official is a scholar, and although his wife Situ Hong is proficient in swordsmanship, he has only learned some scratches in the lower ranks." I'm afraid it's not even self-preservation. I won't be ugly in front of the emperor. ”

"Well, in that case, I'm afraid you'll encounter some accidents along the way, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. That's why I'm going to send you a Ouchi guard to protect you. The emperor said. Turning his head to his side, he whispered, "Someone...... coming!" ”

"Subordinates are in ......!" The emperor's words just fell. A figure inexplicably appeared from the emperor's side and bowed to the emperor.

"From today onwards, you will be responsible for keeping Bi Ran and the others safe. Make no mistake! The emperor looked at him and said majestically.

"Yes!" The man clenched his fist again, and then dodged over to me.

I saw the figure approaching me, and I couldn't help but raise my eyes and take a look, I'll go, isn't this the big inner guard Han Sheng who I rescued with Old Man Yan outside the building?!

When the emperor saw me looking at him, he continued: "Bi Ran, don't underestimate him, he is my inner guard, not to mention that there is an enemy in front of him, even ten or eight people are not a problem. ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Listening to the emperor's words, I couldn't help but salute again, I fully understood the emperor's intentions, he was not at ease with our battle coefficient, and deliberately arranged a master for us to protect us and protect the princess.

King Ming on the side looked at me, and Da Lu said with a smile: "Bi Ran, it seems that the emperor values you very much!" ”

"The lower officials know the emperor's love, and the lower officials will do their best to properly handle the affairs of the ten states." Listening to King Ming's words, I didn't dare to take it all, and I was busy giving it up and complimenting it again.

The emperor nodded with a satisfied face after listening to my words, turned to look at the princess beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Since the child is willing to visit the ten states with Bi Ran, you must be careful on the road!" ”

"Thank you for your concern, please remember!" The princess smiled and nodded.

"Okay, do you juniors have anything else to say to Bi Ran?" The emperor smiled faintly and turned his eyes to Yuqiong and Yujie.

The two of them listened to the emperor's words, and couldn't help but look at each other for a while, although the emperor said so, but if he really had something to say to me, he wouldn't dare to say it so blatantly in front of the emperor.

Looking at the eyes of the two of them looking at each other, the emperor probably guessed their thoughts, and looked at King Ming with a smile, "Brother Wang, I still have a few taels of good tea there, why don't you have a taste with me, how about it?" ”

King Ming listened to the emperor's words, and suddenly understood in his heart, and Da Lu responded with a smile: "Oh, the emperor, it's a blessing that the courtiers can taste the good tea in this palace, but the courtiers are disrespectful." ”

"Let's go, Brother Wang, leave it to them here." The emperor turned his head and glanced at the princess again, then slowly stood up, and walked towards the door of the imperial study with King Ming.

"Xiaguan sends the emperor!" Seeing this, I hurriedly opened my mouth and saluted.

"Excuse me, Bi Ran, after you finish speaking, you have to come to me again, and I will allocate you some silver!" The emperor did not stop, and said as he walked.

"Your Majesty." My heart was overjoyed.

"Hmm." The emperor nodded slightly, raised his feet and walked out of the imperial study.

King Ming turned his head again and looked at me meaningfully, and then before I could speak, he took Yujie's small hand and walked towards the door, and I could see Yujie's face full of displeasure.

Watching the figures of the emperor and the father and son of King Ming gradually drift away, my heart seems to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, alas~, what a good two old men, one gives money and the other is out, if I really have the idea of three wives and four concubines in ancient times, maybe I really want to worship these two old men!

"Husband, what are you thinking? The princess is talking to you! Just when I was stunned, Situ Hong beside me pulled me and said softly.

"Ah...... Yes? What's the matter? I turned my head to look at the princess and Yuqiong in confusion.

The princess looked at me with a smile and asked softly, "Master Bi, I will trouble you to take care of me along the way." ”

"Mm-hmm, it's okay!" I replied with a big grin, but my eyes involuntarily glanced at the princess, to be honest, I was injured a few days ago and couldn't look at the princess carefully, these days I was in a good mood only to find that she is really a beauty, and there seems to be an indescribable charm.

"Brother Bi, when are we leaving today?" Yuqiong on the side also looked at me and asked.

"Uh...... It's okay at any time. I said casually.

"Okay, then I will clean up the Ming Palace, and follow Brother Bi at any time." Yuqiong said and turned to leave.

"Yuqiong......." I whispered to her.

"What's wrong, Brother Bi?" Yuqiong stopped and turned her head to look at me.

"It's nothing, I just want to say, you don't have to take too much of your things, since the emperor has rewarded you with silver, then there are some things that you can buy on the road when you need them." I didn't know what to say, so I just said it casually.

Yuqiong looked at me and smiled faintly, "I know Brother Bi!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

"Princess Bi, then I'll go and pack my things too." When the princess saw Yuqiong leaving, she couldn't help but look at me and said.

"This ......?" I'm a little embarrassed, generally speaking, the princess as the emperor's daughter, must be the kind of person who is used to being comfortable and can't travel far, even if she occasionally travels far away, she has to be the kind of big bag and small bag before and after, at this time I heard the princess say that she also had to pack things, and suddenly one head became two big.

"Husband, I'll accompany the princess to clean up her things." Situ Hong, who was beside him, looked at me and whispered.

"That's fine." I looked at her and nodded.

The princess had no objection, and in this way, Situ Hong accompanied the princess out of the imperial study.

As soon as they left, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Han Sheng, who looked respectful, and said with a smile: "What's that...... In the future, you can just call me Bi Gongzi. ”

"Yes, Master Bi!" Han Sheng replied loudly.

"Then I'll call you Brother Han!" I said again.

"This ...... Bi Gongzi is casual. Han Sheng couldn't help frowning when he heard the title I had given him, but he immediately stretched his eyebrows and said.

"Hmm." I was very satisfied with my arrangement, and then looked at him and said, "Brother Han, since the emperor said that he would go down to find him, then let's go now!" ”

"Yes, Master Bi!" Han Sheng replied aloud again.

I looked at him with a soldier's demeanor, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then walked outside the imperial study accompanied by him.
