Chapter 61: Sudden (1st Update)
Xue Rengui followed Li Chengqian all the way, and when Feng Xiaoyue arrived outside the door, he was sent out by Li Chengqian.
Soon everyone arrived outside the Suzaku Gate.
Xue Rengui was a little anxious, after all, he hadn't arrived after walking for so long.
So I couldn't help but open my mouth.
"Childe, have you arrived?"
"A little further inside."
Li Chengqian pointed to the gate and said.
Xue Rengui asked in surprise: "It's an imperial city inside, it's not for ordinary people to enter!" I'd better not go in! β
Xue Rengui was not stupid, he probably guessed that Li Chengqian was either rich or expensive, and most of the existences in the imperial city were unprovoked. Besides, if he dares to wait for the light to shine, then he is even more sure that Li Chengqian must also be a high-ranking official!
Li Chengqian smiled but did not speak.
"You can go in with me!"
After that, they will be the first to enter it.
Curiosity killed the cat, Xue Rengui also followed him into the Vermilion Bird Gate in order to find out who Li Chengqian was.
It's also strange to say that when Xue Rengui approached the gate in the past, someone stopped him from moving forward.
But today, the soldiers inside this gate don't seem to care at all.
And to be respectful to him.
He knew that all this was the reason for the little child in front of him.
That means that this child may be an errand boy in the imperial city, or a descendant of a minister.
He would never have thought that in front of him was the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, the second existence.
Several people walked all the way, and the more Xue Rengui walked, the more panicked he became, after all, the more he went inside, it was the backyard of the deep palace, and not everyone could come here.
At the same time, in front of him is a large number of glazed tiles, as well as all kinds of exquisite buildings, which make people overwhelmed.
After a few more walks, they arrived at the gate of a palace, and there were two huge words written on the door, East Palace!
Xue Rengui couldn't hold back any longer.
He asked, "But Childe is on an errand in the East Palace?" This is the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! To be able to be on an errand here is a matter of glory to the ancestors! β
Xue Rengui looked at the two big characters of the East Palace with some envy.
These two big words, they poor people have never had a chance to see in their lives, and today he saw them.
Li Chengqian smiled.
"Let's go, let's go inside!"
When they entered the East Palace, they were greeted by the maids of the palace.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
When the women called out His Royal Highness the Prince, Xue Rengui was at a loss.
Li Chengqian looked at Xue Rengui with a smile, and he couldn't hide it anymore.
Xue Rengui was so surprised that he couldn't do it.
"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Prince! You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! β
Li Chengqian nodded lightly, and waved his hand: "You all go down, go and prepare a table of good dishes!" This king is going to receive distinguished guests! β
"Yes!"
The girls went down, and Xue Rengui was still there like a wooden chicken.
He was thinking in his heart, no wonder Li Chengqian dared to face Hou Guangliang and forced him to kneel, it turned out that he was the prince.
The status of the crown prince is much higher than that of any prince, what is he waiting for Guangliang in front of Li Chengqian!
Until someone shouted, "Bold! When you see His Royal Highness the Prince, still don't you salute? β
Xue Rengui suddenly realized this and hurriedly saluted.
"The villain greets His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"No need to be polite! Go to the hall and wait for the king. This king will come when he goes! β
After that, Li Chengqian turned around and disappeared, Xue Rengui only looked around on the side, looking at the beautiful young ladies coming and going, he looked a little restrained, after all, the girls in this palace are all beautiful women.
The palace maids served tea for a while, and brought water for a while, which made him a little embarrassed, until Li Chengqian appeared in front of him.
At this time, Li Chengqian had already put on a python robe, which looked particularly majestic.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Xue Rengui saw it, he hurriedly got up.
"Come, come, sit, sit!"
Li Chengqian motioned for him to sit down, and Xue Rengui suddenly asked, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Xue Rengui to come to the East Palace?" β
Li Chengqian didn't say haha, and said directly: "Xue Rengui, this king wants to recruit you as the king's personal guard, are you willing?" β
Li Chengqian was completely sure that Xue Rengui would obey, but he was wrong, because Xue Rengui did not reply directly, but said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, forgive the villain for not being able to promise you!" β
Such an abrupt recruitment is a little unrealistic here for Xue Rengui.
"Oh? Why? β
Li Chengqian asked directly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the ancestor has a family motto, and the villain doesn't dare to disobey!"
Xue Rengui's family path is gone, everyone is going to starve to death, what family motto do you need? It's really pedantic.
"You're messing with Hou Guangliang now, in fact, you don't have to leave, just find a shelter! And the East Palace is your best belonging! β
If he was an ordinary person, he would have agreed to Li Chengqian's request a long time ago, but Xue Rengui was not an ordinary person.
"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness, the villain is grateful, if you just want to recruit the villain, I'm afraid the villain can't agree! There is still a mother in the villain's house, and there may be danger at any time, so the villain will leave."
Xue Rengui was probably the first person who dared to refuse Li Chengqian like this.
He got up and was about to leave, without giving any face.
Li Chengqian was not in a hurry, just smiled.
"Wait, this king still has something to say!"
You may have to use skills next, otherwise Xue Rengui is afraid that he will not be able to recruit, this time he will not be able to recruit, and when his charm value reaches 60, he Xue Rengui will not be in Chang'an for a long time.
That's a big loss, Xue Rengui stopped, with doubts on his face.
Then the system comes a prompt.
Hint: Do you use generals to recruit?
[Yes] [No]
It turned out that the system directly understood his intentions.
The recruitment just now was not completed, also because I was not attractive enough?
Why should he, Xue Rengui, be your Li Chengqian's guard?
They don't know each other well, just because you're the crown prince?
This kind of personality trait, in fact, Li Chengqian should have known it a long time ago, judging from the fact that he wants to win or lose a bet with Hou Guangliang, Li Chengqian knows what kind of person Xue Rengui is.
If you say something good, you are persistent, and if you say something bad, you are stubborn and not open.
γYesγ
At this time, the system came to the prompt again: the use of generals was successfully recruited. Please recruit again! and you're done!
Brush it, and the general's skills will be directly gone.
According to the system prompts, you only need to recruit again.
Li Chengqian fell into deep thought, while Xue Rengui on the side was a little anxious.
Because he let himself stop just now, but the prince didn't say anything.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is nothing else to do, the villain will retire first!"
At this time, he was afraid that his mother was plotted and wanted to go back early.
At this time, he is like an arrow! It doesn't matter if the other party is the prince or not, now he just wants to go back.
"Wait!"
Li Chengqian finally returned to reality, and he stopped Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui stopped and looked at Li Chengqian a little dazed.
