Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 074 The Light of Dawn (II)

Lu Yu secretly thought that he had finally seen the owner of the voice. Seeing him come out, the eunuch said again: "General Lu, please follow the servants to the Jade Soup Palace." ”

By the light of the torch, the eunuch's roe-headed and rat-like appearance, with a smiling expression, made Lu Yu feel that this person had a bad stomach, and from his yin and strange voice, it was certain that this eunuch was a eunuch who had already been punished by the palace.

During the Warring States period, not all eunuchs were eunuchs, but most of the servants who served the king like this, especially the eunuchs in charge of the harem, had been castrated to prevent trouble in the harem.

Lu Yu walked all the way, and when he saw the eunuch's serious face, he asked, "I don't know how to call my lord?" ”

The eunuch said: "The slave is cheap, he has no name and no surname, and he has the favor of the king and gives him the name Zhao Chang." ”

Lu Yu smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Zhao." What time is it? ”

Zhao Chang still replied with a serious face: "It's just past the ugly moment." ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he suddenly had a feeling that he wanted to strangle King Wei. According to Zhao Chang, it is not even three o'clock in the middle of the night, and it will even be early, pry him up so early to go to the Jade Soup Palace, is it because he wants to sit there until midnight?

Zhao Changxian saw Lu Yu's thoughts, so he said: "Now we are going to the Jade Tang Hall to receive the bathing gift for General Lu, which lasts for half an hour, and there will be arrangements after that." ”

Lu Yu secretly wondered why the name of this palace sounded weird, what kind of jade soup, it turned out to be a bathing place.

The road in the palace was completely like a maze for him, all led by Zhao Chang, leading the twenty guards behind him to walk on the royal road in the palace "mightily", as if he was looking for someone to make an appointment.

However, at this time, the palace was still very quiet, except for the guards on duty, only some hard-working eunuchs and palace maids passed by them from time to time with their heads bowed.

Lu Yu walked the royal road, that was because of the permission of King Wei, and the palace slaves he met along the way could not walk on this road casually, otherwise he would be convicted of a crime and would be killed at any time.

After walking for about ten minutes, I finally saw a magnificent red door. Because he already knew that it was the Jade Tang Palace, Lu Yu only "knew" the seal characters on the big plaque, the Jade Tang Hall was surrounded by towering ancient trees surrounded by four people, and it could not be taken at a glance, only the red temple door and the four big pillars were exposed, the diameter of which was comparable to that of an ancient tree, and the front of each one was engraved with seven characters. As for what it was, he couldn't even make out three.

Lu Yu secretly thought that he would learn more of these ancient characters when he had time, and it would be more convenient to do things in the future.

But for now, these have to be put aside for the time being, and he is not here to archaeology in the first place.

The front of the palace was still guarded by two guards, and after Zhao Chang stepped forward to show his cards, twelve guards lined up at the entrance of the palace, and Lu Yu walked in with him.

After passing through the second gate, there is the lobby of the Jade Soup Hall. The two palace maids greeted them, and after saluting the two, Zhao Chang said to them, "You two will serve General Lu to bathe immediately." With that, he stood sideways and motioned for the two palace maids to take Lu Yu forward.

There was a smell of sulfur in the jade soup hall, although it was a cold winter season, but as soon as he stepped into the lobby, Lu Yu felt that the temperature had risen, coupled with the smell of sulfur, he was almost sure that this was a sulfur spring drawn from the back of the palace, and it was a place for King Wei and other royal families to enjoy.

Being able to be brought to bathe in hot springs can be regarded as "Wang Enhao".

Bypassing the door behind the lobby, there are wings in front of Lu Yu and on the left and right, and in the middle is an open-air courtyard, quite like the construction of a courtyard house. From the front, the two rooms in front are relatively large, and there are three smaller rooms on the left and right, which enclose the courtyard in the center.

One of the palace maids said to Lu Yu: "General, please come with the slave maid." With that, he led him to the second room on the left. Lu Yu thought to himself that the two big rooms on the front should be for the exclusive use of King Wei, and the rest might be for the concubines or ministers.

Sure enough, a bath of nearly ten square meters was dug behind the screen in the wing, and the pool water in it was constantly steaming. Lu Yu was happy in his heart, let the palace maid loosen his clothes, and without waiting for her to test the water, he touched himself into the bath. The water was just the right temperature, so comfortable that he almost couldn't help moaning.

The palace maid was still curious to look at the pair of underwear that Dai Ji had sewn for him that he had untied for him, and saw that Lu Yu was already in the pool, so she also stepped into the pool to wipe his body.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed this kind of high-end service, and secretly sighed that this was the first time he had washed so comfortably here, which was very different from soaking in the hot water in the bathtub. In the world 2,000 years from now, there will be a fee for bathing in hot springs, and of course such services are illegal today. But in this day and age, this kind of enjoyment is something that money can't buy.

Another palace maid pushed the door in, holding a plate with clothes on it, and two other eunuchs behind him holding an object, Lu Yu Yile, it turned out to be a set of armor.

Lu Yu became curious, watched the two eunuchs carry the armor in and put it down, and then respectfully retreated.

It turned out that there was something like a bracket in the armor, and the whole set was held up neatly to show its preciousness. The helmet is cast in bronze and appears to be a one-piece piece, with a relief beast head on the top, which looks a bit like a tiger, with angry eyes.

The shoulders and chests of the body are decorated with iron fish-scale-shaped armor pieces, each of which is about an inch in size, and there are hundreds of pieces that extend to the knees.

This suit of armor knew at a glance that it was not light, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh, it may be majestic to wear, but it also needs to bear its weight.

The palace maid who was wiping Lu Yu's back heard him sigh and asked curiously, "What is the general's sigh about?" ”

Lu Yu said: "It's just a sigh." ”

The palace maid said again: "The slave maid dares to ask, is the general the dragon man who has been rumored in Daliang City recently?" ”

Lu Yu laughed, and said in his heart that he didn't expect that even a palace maid would hear the rumors outside the palace, so he asked, "Where did you learn about those things?" ”

Another palace maid was standing by the bath, and when she heard Lu Yu ask, she smiled and said: "That matter is spreading, in this palace, everyone up and down naturally knows about it for a long time." ”

The palace maid behind also laughed out with a "poof".

Lu Yu didn't want to see the two of them, for fear that he would leave a "romantic debt" on the spur of the moment. In less than half an hour, he had already soaked in the hot spring until his hands and feet were wrinkled, and he didn't know whether this so-called bathing gift had to be soaked for half an hour, so he had to endure chatting with them from time to time, and stayed up for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't like to take care of them very much, the two palace maids also kept silent until they finished bathing him, and then served him to put on his clothes one by one, and finally put the whole set of armor on Lu Yu's body.

Lu Yu felt that this set of armor weighed more than a dozen catties, and he was really not used to it for a while, if he put on the helmet as well, it was estimated that his whole head would be pressed and unable to lift it. Suddenly, he found that the two palace maids were looking straight at him, their eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you think I do?" ”

The second daughter replied, "The general is so good-looking." ”

Lu Yuyile, he has really not been praised for his appearance before, and he still feels a little fluttering when he is praised by them like this. Only then did he notice that the two palace maids looked very similar, like sisters, and not only their faces, but also their bodies were almost the same. Basically, they can be regarded as beauties, at least they are all natural. These women who were drafted to serve in the court, although they were not favored by the monarch like concubines, were never sloppy in their selection, in addition to their good facial features and balanced figures, they also had to be trained and trained as strictly as Dai Ji.

After coming out, Zhao Chang took Lu Yu to dinner, and was still served by several palace maids and eunuchs, so that Lu Yu greatly felt the high service, and it was not until the end of Yin that the King of Wei sent someone to summon him.

Lu Yu arrived at a palace under the leadership of Zhao Chang, and saw that there were two carriages parked on the royal road not far away, and several eunuchs and palace maids were waiting next to them. Simon Hou was under the steps outside the palace, and several other people who looked like warriors were talking to him in whispers. A red-maned horse beside Ximen Hou is particularly conspicuous, who else is it that Guiguzi gave to Lu Yu?

Unexpectedly, Xinlingjun really brought his horse. Lu Yu was excited in his heart, and the feeling of long-term farewell came spontaneously, and he hurriedly accelerated his pace and walked towards the west gate.

At this time, Ximen Hou also discovered Lu Yu, hurriedly walked over to salute him, and said happily: "This armor is really suitable for Brother Lu, and it looks heroic when it is worn, like a general's momentum." ”

Lu Yu laughed and said to him, "Brother Simon is making fun of the little brother again." ”

Ximen Hou Zhengse said: "What the little brother just said is sincere, and it is by no means a lie. ”

Lu Yu didn't want to flatter him to each other, so he walked directly to the red-maned horse and stretched out his hand to stroke its mane. The red-maned horse, as if remembering his master, stretched out his head and rubbed it back on his hand, and responded with joy, indicating that it remembered him too.

His broken army sword was also hung on horseback, and Lu Yu caressed it for a while, until Zhao Chang urged, and then asked Ximen Hou: "Is the king on it?" ”

Ximen Hou nodded and said, "The king is in the temple with the king, Brother Lu go up quickly." ”

Lu Yu looked at the palace above, in addition to Longyangjun, there were several royal ministers, several people gathered outside the palace, all facing the palace, lined up in two or three columns in an orderly manner, but there was no King Wei and Xinling Jun.

Zhao Chang motioned for Lu Yu to go up with him and go to the last part of the line, while the twenty guards stayed at the bottom of the steps and waited in place.

It turned out that this palace was the temple of the Wei family.

At this time, it was almost midday, after Lu Yu came up, he saw that Long Yangjun and the ministers did not speak, and wanted to say hello to Long Yangjun, but the situation seemed to be very solemn, and several of them didn't seem to notice Lu Yu, so they silently followed and stood at the end, facing the temple.

Wei Mingji was also among them, and at a glance he saw Lu Yu in battle armor, just staring at him.

Suddenly, a pair of beautiful eyes stayed on Lu Yu, and even when he lowered his head to dodge, he could feel that the pair of eyes were still like the summer sun scorching on every inch of his skin, making him uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I felt very ridiculous, normally only men would appreciate beautiful women so boldly, and now they are "appreciated" by her in turn, as if they have no clothes on their bodies.
