Minamoto Yoishin and Aoki Hongyan entered the palace at the same time to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and the two explained the situation (qíng) and waited for the Emperor's judgment.

The Emperor and Minamoto had met Ling Kun in secret, so they knew that Ling Kun would never be a fake, but his (shēn) share had not yet been exposed, so it was inconvenient to explain it to Aoki Hongyan.

After a moment of silence, the emperor spoke: "I am very pleased that Aoki (ài) Qing enforces the law impartially, but Mr. Ling of the Great Song Dynasty is my honored guest, this is my private matter, and you should leave it alone in Kyoto Prefecture." ”

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, and private affairs are state affairs, and it is incumbent upon your Majesty to do so." Aoki Hongyan said firmly.

The emperor's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a cold voice: "According to the meaning of Aoki (ài) Qing, is it because I have bad eyes and recognize the wrong friend?" Or did my friend offend you, Aoki-sama, and you want to declare your personal vendetta? ”

Aoki Hongyan was shocked, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The minister is loyal, please Your Majesty Mingjian." ”

The emperor ignored it and said to Yuan Laixin, "Carry my imperial spur and send Mr. Ling back to his residence." ”

Minamoto Yoshinobu was overjoyed, and immediately took the order to go, contacted the palace steward, and carried the imperial palace to the outside of Kyoto Prefecture.

Aoki Hongyan saw that the emperor had made up his mind and there was no room for maneuver, so he had no choice but to retreat.

At this moment, under the protection of the army, Ling Kun and the others completely relaxed, sat on the ground and chatted. The audience waited for a more exciting outcome.

In fact, they were not disappointed at all, because after a short time, they saw the emperor's honor guard and the imperial guard coming towards this side, could it be that the emperor had arrived? It's a once-in-a-lifetime event.

The imperial envoy was carried directly into the scene, and the chief of the inner hall bowed to Ling Kun (shēn) and said, "Mr. Ling, the lower official will send you back to the house by His Majesty's order, please get in the car." ”

Ling Kun looked at the luxurious guard of honor and the imperial court, and knew that this was the emperor's momentum for himself, so he stood up and said to Aoki Hongyan who was following behind: "Lord Aoki, is this shackle of Qianxue opened now, or will you come to open it in person after returning home?" ”

Aoki Hongyan's face was dark, but what else could he do? Now that he has angered the emperor, do you still want to fight it? Of course not, fools know. So he personally took the key and came over to open the shackles for Ling Qianxue.

Ling Kun smiled slightly, please Ling Qianxue and

Maki Kuroda went to the Imperial Palace. However, Kuroda Maki and Ling Qianxue didn't dare to go up, it was the emperor's royal palace, how could they dare to sit on it?

Seeing that they insisted, Ling Kun did not force it, and went up by himself, and was carried back to the Ling porcelain shop by the honor guard.

With the emperor's imperial escort in person, no one dared to stop him.

The onlookers exclaimed and talked about it, which is even more legendary than a drama. What exactly is this young man's share (shēn)? To be so valued by His Majesty the Emperor.

The most shocked were the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ling family, who followed the royal seal closely until the Ling family's porcelain shop stopped, but they didn't know whether to go in or not.

At this time, Ling Qianxue's martial arts were not only unfathomable, but even the background reached the heavenly court, and even the emperor treated them with courtesy, which was unique in the country. It is said that with such a granddaughter, their Ling family can be in the wind and rain, and it is not difficult to become the first family.

But just now, they had already announced that they had given up on Ling Qianxue, and now their granddaughter was already someone they couldn't climb.

"Grandpa, that's our own home, they can go in, why can't we go back?" Ling Qianyu said dissatisfiedly.

"Qianyu, we have completely offended Qianxue and the son-in-law, with their current martial arts and background, it is easy to kill our Ling family. So when we go in, we have to lower our posture and strive for their forgiveness. ”

"I can't whisper to those two (jiàn) people." Ling Shilang said angrily.

"Bastard, don't you want to die? Because of Qianyu's revelations, they almost died, and if Qianxue wants to take revenge, none of your family will survive. Ling Jianyi reprimanded.

Ling Shilang's wife remembered the scene of Ling Qianxue's sword picking the three swords of the North Sea, and was so frightened that she grabbed Ling Shilang and said, "Everything listens to my father." ”

Ling Shilang twisted his head stupidly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The royal bowl stopped at the door of Ling's porcelain, Ling Kun got out of the car, said goodbye to the chief of Ouchi and Minamoto Yoshinobu, and took Ling Qianxue and Kuroda Maki and the man in black inside.

As soon as Ling Kun closed the door, Kuroda Maki threw himself into the arms of a man in black and cried: "Grandpa, how can you take such an adventure, what if you can't escape?" ”

Dressed in black

When the veil on his face was lifted, it turned out to be Yoichi Kuroda and several worship masters of the Kuroda family.

Kuroda Yoichi patted Kuroda Maki and smiled: "My precious granddaughter is going to be beheaded, can I, an old immortal, spare my life?" ”

Ling Qianxue saw that the grandfather and grandson (qíng) of others were deep, and then thought about herself, and couldn't help but wipe her tears.

Ling Kun stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you to Mr. Kuroda for saving me." ”

Kuroda Yoichi let go of his granddaughter and said with a smile: "I don't know if I should call you Mr. Zhao or Mr. Ling?" ”

Ling Kun arched his hand and said: "It's just a name, there is no difference, the old gentleman is himself." ”

"Hehe, that's right." Kuroda Yoichi said: "In this case, the old decay will not go around the corner, we dissected the three swords of the North Sea at the Fujita family, and we know that Mr. Ling (shēn) is very different from martial arts, so let Maki get close to you and want to have a good relationship with you." But please believe that our Kuroda family has no malice and just wants to be friends with you. ”

Ling Kun smiled: "I know, I guessed it from the first day Maki appeared. ”

"Yes, the previous thing (qíng), we all planned, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, Maki (ài) fell on you, and he was willing to die for you, which made the whole thing (qíng) completely out of control, if it weren't for your background, I'm afraid we wouldn't have died well."

Kuroda Maki blushed and secretly looked at Ling Kun, but saw that Ling Kun didn't have any special expression (qíng), and he was a little lost in his heart.

Ling Kun nodded to Kuroda Yang and said: "Anyway, I want to thank you today, I also understand Mr. Kuroda's intentions, it just so happens that I also have something to ask the old man to help, why don't we make an appointment to sit together later." ”

"Great, then tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet at home, and invite Mr. Ling and Miss Ling to enjoy it." Yoichi Kuroda said happily.

"Okay, we'll be there." Ling Kun agreed.

"In that case, then we will go back first, and we will see you tomorrow night." Yoichi Kuroda took Maki Kuroda and the master of the Kuroda family to say goodbye.

As soon as Ling Qianxue saw them leave, she couldn't wait to grab Ling Kun's mouth (xiōng) and said, "You killed the three swords of the North Sea?" Do you know martial arts? Are you really Your Majesty's honored guest? Who are you? You make it clear to me. ”
