When Ling Qianxue and Kitano Xiongfeng heard this, they suddenly felt that their eyes were dark, and they almost fell to the ground.

Kitano Xiongfeng never thought that this (jiàn) people would get mixed in, how could his own immediate boss, the general who leaned towards the government and the opposition, accompany him respectfully.

And Ling Qianxue only saw the bird-like Kuroda Maki, hugging Ling Kun's arm tightly and walking forward, she instantly trembled with anger. I really can't imagine that Maki Kuroda, who has never hung a cold face, would be so shameless, why did she do this, could it be that she is called the first beauty in Dongying, is she unwilling to snatch things from her own hands?

"No, the general must have been deceived by the people (jiàn), I must stop it." Kitano Xiongfeng gritted his teeth and quickly chased after Ling Kun and the others.

Ling Qianxue realized that he was jealous, so how did he get in, did he really deceive the general?

"Oh, this time he's dead, will it affect us?" Ling Qianyu grabbed her sister's hand and trembled.

Ling Qianxue stomped her feet and said, "How can he be like this, it must be Kuroda Maki who instigated him to do this, otherwise how dare he?" ”

Kitano Xiongfeng chased after him and shouted: "General, this person is just a (jiàn) citizen rocking on a pirate ship, how can he enter the palace to face the saint, the general must have been deceived by some people." ”

Yamashita Hirakawa hurriedly said: "Kitano Xiongfeng, what do you know as a little officer, quickly retreat, this matter is over, this official must be involved in you." ”

Yuan Yoishin stopped, his eyes (shè) showed two fine lights, and he waved his hand and slapped Kitano Xiongfeng in the face: "Get out, General Ben does things, and you don't need to teach you yet." ”

"General, he is really a (jiàn) citizen, the son-in-law of the Ling family, and the last general knows his details very well." Kitano argued, covering his face.

"Stop him and clean it up later." Yuan Lai Xinzhuan (shēn) said to Ling Kun, "Your Excellency, please." ”

In fact, Yuan Laixin has already begun to doubt, but at this moment, it is also difficult to ride a tiger, and in front of so many people, he suspects that he may be deceived, which is by no means the style of a decisive general.

In the blink of an eye, the upper study room had arrived, and Yuan Laixin said, "Lord Ling, please wait for a while, I will go in with Yamashita Jun to report to Your Majesty." ”

Ling Kun nodded: "It's hard work, general." ”

After Minamoto Yoshito and Yamashita Hirakawa entered the (diàn) gate, Minamoto Yoshinobu asked solemnly: "Yamashita-kun, this is not a joke, can you be sure that he is Ling Kun."

？ ”

Yamashita Hirakawa patted (xiōng) and said, "General, I will bear the consequences of this incident and have nothing to do with you. ”

"Okay, see Your Majesty, you can come."

After Yuan Laixin entered, Kuroda Maki, who had been forced to calm down along the way, finally couldn't hold it anymore, held Ling Kun's hand tightly, his face turned pale, and said in a trembling voice: "What should I do, I want to see Your Majesty, will I show my stuffing, this is a capital crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan." ”

Ling Kun gave her a warm smile and said, "It's okay, don't go in for a while, I'll take care of it." ”

"How can this be done, I'll be with you." Kuroda Maki exhaled like an orchid, and almost all of her (shēn) leaned on Ling Kun (shēn), because she was trembling and could no longer stand on her feet.

"Don't, the Kuroda family has a big business, don't be harmed by you." Ling Kun hugged Kuroda Maki's slender waist and comforted: "Don't worry, if you are not here, I will play better." ”

Maki Kuroda bit her lower lip and nodded: "Be careful, you can see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

After a long while, Yamashita Hirakawa hurriedly trotted out and said, "My Majesty, please go in." ”

Ling Kun patted Kuroda Maki on the shoulder and said, "Wait for me for a while." Then he followed the mountain down into the upper study.

The decoration in the upper study is resplendent and no worse than Zhao Heng's. On the low (chuáng) couch is a table with a slender eyebrows, and His Majesty the Emperor, who is in his thirties, sits next to the table with a book in his hand.

Ling Kun hurriedly bowed (shēn) and saluted: "Foreign minister Ling Kun see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The emperor raised his head and looked at Ling Kun a few times and said, "General Ling is my honored guest, please take a seat." ”

After Ling Kun thanked him, he sat on the brocade pier opposite the emperor.

"The heroic deeds of the great general in the Central Plains, I have heard Yamashita Hirakawa say it several times, and it is really an admirable legend. It's just that the great general (rì) has all the opportunities, how can he have the leisure to come to my court for a private visit? The Emperor asked.

Ling Kun saw that there were few people in the study, so he said directly: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister came here this time for the sake of pirates. ”

Hearing this, the emperor sighed and said, "I am very ashamed of the pirate attack on the Celestial Empire, but the pirates of my dynasty are inexhaustible, and the imperial court has no choice." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame himself too much, the pirates of Dongying and the bandits in the Central Plains are a truth, and all dynasties and dynasties cannot be cleared."

"Then General Ling has a solution to the problem?"

"I'm a little eyebrow-raised, I've already broken into the six major pirate families, and at that time, I will control the pirate alliance by re-electing the alliance leader, so as to completely change the pirate alliance's business model of burning, killing and looting, and turn to regular industry and commerce."

"Great, if that's the case, it's also a great luck for my dynasty, General Ling really lives up to his reputation, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people." It's just that I don't know what the imperial court can do for the general, and I ask the general not to be polite. ”

"Your Majesty has won the award, not yet, but I sealed the port on the east coast and killed the pirates, and now the pirates hate my name, so I also ask Your Majesty and a few adults to keep it a secret."

"Oh, I see, no wonder they will say that you are a person who shakes the oars (jiàn), it turns out that the adults deliberately concealed it." Yuan Laixin laughed, after this conversation, he no longer doubted Ling Kun's true (shēn) share.

"Okay, that's fine." The emperor readily agreed, and said: "Soon, it will be the annual Wanshang Conference of our dynasty, and the dignitaries and big businessmen of the court will participate, and some of them are members of the pirate alliance, so that everyone will know that you are my honored guest, and it may be easier to do things in our court in the future." ”

"Wouldn't that expose General Ling's (shēn)?" Yuan Laixin exclaimed.

The emperor laughed and said, "I don't say what the name of the general is, only my distinguished guest, do they dare to confront me who this distinguished guest is?" But you two must keep your mouth shut. ”

Minamoto Yoishin and Yamashita Hirakawa knelt on the ground: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will be tight-lipped." ”

"Alright, it's almost time, let's go." The emperor got off (shēn), and the guards helped him get off the couch (chuáng) and went out with Ling Kun.

At this time, Kuroda Maki was still waiting anxiously outside the door, and suddenly saw the gate open, and a group of people came out, the first person (shēn) wore a dragon robe and a crown, Yanran was His Majesty the Emperor, and Zhao Gouqu was next to him (shēn).

Kuroda Maki was so frightened that his knees weakened and he fell to his knees, but he didn't know how to meet the emperor and couldn't say a word.

Ling Kun said to the emperor, "This is my friend, who came in with me. ”

The emperor laughed and said, "The people on the side of the great general (shēn) are beautiful, and I heard that there are also two peerless celebrities in the Central Plains." Let's go, take her with you. ”

Ling Kun smiled awkwardly, walked a few steps to help Kuroda Maki up, pulled her behind the emperor (shēn), and went to Taihe (diàn) together.
