Chapter Seventy-Four: The Palace

When it was close to twilight, Tian Jian and his party finally arrived at the palace.

This palace is a lofty style, looking from the outside to the inside, the eaves of the heavy warm mountains, the dense palace, can not see the edge.

The vermilion gate was lined with more than a dozen Chu army guards, all of them wearing well-made yellow leather armor and strong physiques, standing solemnly on both sides of the stairs.

There are two large stone lions at each entrance, both with teeth and claws, but the carvings are extremely fine.

Walking into the palace, Tian Jian felt that his East Palace seemed to have a little shiver, which was not as good as this palace.

"Minister Cai Ze greets His Highness." Cai Ze came out of it and bowed to Tian Jian.

Tian Jian nodded, Cai Ze had come to Chen Ying a long time ago, and he wanted to pass on the news that Qi wanted to marry the princess of Chu to the King of Chu, and at the same time, he also had to come to prepare Tian Jian's Yigan things.

Cai Ze followed Tian Jian's pace and walked to introduce, "Your Highness, this palace is the side hall of the King of Chu, and I went there when I was having fun, I heard that the prince of my Qi Kingdom came, and the King of Chu didn't want His Royal Highness to live in those dirty and broken post shops, and he lost the face of the King of Chu in vain, and also made enemies to His Royal Highness, so he reluctantly gave this palace to His Royal Highness first." ”

Tian Jian nodded and said: "The King of Chu has also taken great pains, I remember that Chen Ying was still relatively depressed decades ago, but I didn't expect that the palace of the King of Chu was so gorgeous and extraordinary, and it seems that I don't know how much people's power is abused." ”

Cai Ze smiled and said: "Your Highness is too worried, this is the matter of the Chu State, we are a foreigner, and we don't need to care about the affairs of the people of the Chu State." ”

"Yes." Tian Jian replied casually.

"So that His Royal Highness knows the appearance of this palace of Chu State, the minister carefully inspected the palace a few days ago, this palace has a total of twenty-one, three main palace rooms, respectively, Fengyuan Terrace, Alien Beast Terrace, Fengming Terrace. It has a triple palace wall........."

After a while, Tian Jian saw a towering city wall, the city wall was full of Chu troops patrolling back and forth, and there were corner towers above the city wall, which had the effect of early warning, and at the same time, you could also look at the entire palace.

Tian Jian felt uncomfortable, and said with emotion: "Entering this palace, this palace is like a bird in a cage, although it is luxurious, but there is no sense of security. ”

"Your Highness rest assured, according to his observations, the current Chu State will not be able to raise any big prodigal sons for a while and a half, even if someone gains power, he will not dare to assassinate His Highness. After all, His Highness is the Crown Prince. Cai Ze persuaded.

"Yes." Tian Jian nodded.

Entering the palace wall, Tian Jian felt that the Chu army guards around him began to decrease a little, it seemed that this was the king of Chu who took care of his face and evacuated the Chu army inside.

After a while, along the corridor, Tian Jian and they walked to a large palace.

There are also dozens of attendants next to the palace holding dried meat and various wild vegetables in their hands.

Cai Ze saw Tian Jian's strangeness, so he explained: "These chamberlains are going to feed those rare birds and beasts, and this palace is the strange beast platform that the minister just mentioned. Would you like to go in and have a look? ”

Tian Jian shook his head and said, "What's so good about this, it's still important to get down to business, and the plaything is discouraged." ”

In the zoo, how many exotic beasts he has not seen, these animals are only of children's interest, and he has never seen any adult go to the zoo all day to see animals.

"Yes, Your Highness." Cai Ze smiled with relief.

"Okay, where is the residence of Hongu?" Tian Jian asked.

"In Fengyuantai, the minister will take His Highness forward." Cai Ze replied.

It didn't take long for a gorgeous palace to appear in front of Tian Jian, with gorgeous paintings, turquoise palace lamps, incense burners burning sandalwood, and red carpets.

There are also a few young and beautiful palace maids waiting inside.

"I've seen Your Highness." The palace maids blessed a gift.

Tian Jian frowned when he saw this, and his face was displeased, not that he didn't like women, but that he was worried and afraid, in case there was an assassin on one of them, he would not have died heroically!

"Your Highness, rest assured, these maidservants were bought from the market." Cai Ze explained.

Tian Jian glanced at Cai Ze and said unhappily: "Cai Zhanshi, how can a woman in a foreign country be gullible, there are people in this palace who have their own clothes, let these women retreat!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Cai Ze hurriedly asked the women to retreat.

"By the way, the king of Chu asked the palace to enter the palace to discuss the marriage." Tian Jian suddenly remembered this and asked.

Cai Ze showed embarrassment on his face, and hesitated again and again: "The King of Chu originally asked His Highness to rest for three days and enter the palace, but Ling Yin said that His Highness is fun by nature, and it is his temperament, so let His Highness stay for a month first." ”

Tian Jian frowned, if he stayed for a month, the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei would send troops, and by that time, the daylily would be cold.

"Then what else is there to let the King of Chu see the palace?" Tian Jian asked.

"I don't know, but in a few days it will be the day when the King of Chu will go out hunting, His Royal Highness will think of a way, or you can see it." Cai Ze replied.

"Hunting?"

The palace lights next to it slowly lit up, the flickering sparks flickered, and the sound of fuel was extremely silent at this moment.

。。。。。。

Ling Yin Zilan rode a horse and returned to his Ling Yin Mansion after a while.

He changed out of some damp clothes on his body and knelt on the main seat, and the son next to him was also here.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for you." Shu apologized.

Ling Yin Zilan shook her hand and sighed: "Well, how many times has my uncle told you, you have to be patient, if you don't bear it, you will make a big plan!" ”

Shu Bu showed a look of shame on his face, lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, uncle, Shu Mo doesn't know it's wrong." ”

"Wrong, you're not wrong!" Zilan's eyes showed a glint and said, "This is a good thing!" ”

"A good thing?" I don't understand.

"This prince from Qi State, we know his intentions clearly, but which side he will choose to help, the old man is not very clear." Zilan said slowly.

"Then this time we didn't just offend the crown prince of the Qi country." Shu Hao was a little worried.

"Evil? No, this prince of Qi is not a reckless and simple person. "Zilandao.

"What does Uncle mean?" Shu asked.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, but what is the conflict of the city gates? This prince is a man who understands, as long as our interests are big enough, then he is on our side. Zilan smiled, this moment was full of wisdom.

"But even if he helps, then he won't be enough!" Not to mention.

"He really doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but he is the elite of Qi State, and sometimes what he can't think of is the last straw that really crushes the camel!" Zilandau.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the dripping rain said that the branches and leaves of the plantain trees outside were broken.
