Early the next morning.

Nan Xuanye and his party got up early, entered the city after breakfast, and as soon as they stepped into the city gate, the guards at the gate blocked in front of several people.

The guard took out a portrait from his arms, carefully compared Nan Xuanye's appearance, and then showed respect: "You are General Nan, the last general is really damned, I didn't recognize it for a while." ”

Fang Xinghan felt surprised: "Haven't you been to the capital once?" Why don't the guards know you? ”

The guard hurriedly said: "The last general is new, the last time the general entered Beijing, the last general was not here, but I heard the appearance of the southern general, so I couldn't help but admit my mistake, so I asked for a portrait." ”

"That makes sense." Fang Xinghan touched his chin and groaned slightly: "Then why do you recognize him?" But who gave you the order? ”

Look at this attitude, as if he cares a lot about when he enters the imperial city.

The guard smiled, very mysterious, and only said: "Please also ask General Nan to wait here, and the last general will go to guard the city." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Nan Xuanye and the others glanced at each other, they were all puzzled, it stands to reason that even if Nan Xuanye is a general, there is no need to behave like this, look at the guard seems to be a little flattering, could it be that there are some orders from above?

I couldn't figure it out, and several people couldn't figure it out, so I had to wait patiently.

A moment later, the guard returned, followed by a man in armor and eight feet tall, who at first glance knew that it was a soldier.

This person stepped forward and clenched his fists with both hands: "The last general is the captain of the city guard, Fang Yi, I am here to greet you with the order of the above, if you are a little neglectful, please don't be surprised by General Nan." ”

Nan Xuanye smiled and said: "You're polite, I'm not a general now, I'm just a commoner, Captain Fang is so gracious, it makes me panic." ”

Fang Yi laughed: "The general doesn't have to worry, the last general has no malicious intentions, you can come with me first." ”

He took a lot of people behind him, and surrounded Nan Xuanye and others in the middle, but instead of surrounding the guards, he regarded them as left guests.

I don't know what kind of person this is, what kind of origin it is, but let the captain of the guard greet him personally.

"Do you think this man is from the palace?"

"Who knows, anyway, looking at it like this, there is always a big deal."

The people were talking and speculating.

Qin Miaomiao's heart was not very stable, she always felt that this was a little too enthusiastic, and she was worried in her heart, and she felt that her palm was being held.

When I looked sideways, I saw Nan Xuanye's deep eyes full of comfort, and it was his deep voice: "Don't worry, if you come, you will be safe, with the emperor's holy purpose, it will be fine." ”

At least there will be nothing until I see the emperor, after all, the emperor's attitude towards himself and others is unknown, if these people are not kind, they also need to take care of the emperor, and there is no need to worry about safety.

Qin Miaomiao's heart was a little calm, but she calmed down, but she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you know what their purpose is?" ”

Nan Xuanye shook his head and replied in a low voice: "I don't know, but the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there is always a way to deal with it." ”

"Hmm." Qin Miaomiao nodded.

The captain of the city guard glanced back at the husband and wife, and saw that they were whispering, and they seemed to have a very good relationship, so he couldn't help but quip: "It is said that the general is very fond of his wife, and now it seems that this is true, and it is rare for you two to love each other." ”

Nan Xuanye smiled, and before he could speak, he saw him stop and said in a low voice, "It's here." ”

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a large camp, and there were many guards outside, all dressed in the same clothes as the guards at the city gate, and this should be the large camp of the city guards.

Fang Yidao: "Come with me, Lord Huang is waiting inside." ”

As soon as the words fell, a person walked out from the promise, wearing an official uniform, about forty years old, and walked over with a smile, "This is General Nan, right?" ”

"Who are you?"

The captain of the guard next to him said, "This is Huang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Huang." ”

Nan Xuanye bowed slightly: "I have admired the name for a long time, Lord Huang, now that I see you, you are different from what I imagined." ”

Huang Liang touched Xiao Ba's beard: "Oh? So what do you imagine me to look like? ”

Before entering Beijing, Fu Shengping once told Nan Xuanye that the officials in the imperial city, including this Ministry of Rites, have only eight words for the Ministry of Rites: follow the rules and be upright.

He felt that this Lord Huang should be the kind of person who was full of righteousness and looked very serious when he looked at it, but he was a little surprised when he saw it.

But this really can't be said, Nan Xuanye only said: "In short, it is slightly inconsistent with the rumors." ”

Huang Liang just smiled, and didn't refute, he seemed to be a very kind person, and the first impression was that this person was very talkative, he said, "General Nan doesn't want to introduce me?" ”

Nan Xuanye held Qin Miaomiao's hand: "This is my wife, and now she is pregnant with Liujia, if it weren't for the emperor's decree this time, I would not be willing to let her travel with me for a long time." ”

Huang Liang looked at Qin Miaomiao and Nan Xuanye, and saw that the couple was intimate, and he was full of care from his words to his posture, so he knew that this General Nan must be a loving wife, and couldn't help but say: "This time it's a hard wife." ”

"Don't dare, the emperor has an order, and the women naturally don't dare not come." Qin Miaomiao said with a smile.

Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and called herself a people's woman, Huang Liang was a little surprised: "You are the general's wife, why do you call yourself a people's woman?" ”

Qin Miaomiao held Nan Xuanye's big palm and said: "Since my father-in-law has decided to resign and return to his hometown, I will naturally marry a chicken and a dog, although this is not good, it is true." ”

Nan Xuanye carefully hugged her increasingly thick waist and reminded: "The husband sings and the wife follows." ”

Isn't it much better than marrying a chicken and following a chicken.

Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but glance at him, and complained in a low voice: "Didn't I think of it? ”

"Yes, yes, how good the lady said." Nan Xuanye thought helplessly, just chicken dog, chicken dog.

Huang Liang touched his beard and said with a smile: "You little husband and wife are in love, I have long heard General Fu say that General Nan loves his wife like his life, and now it really deserves its reputation." ”

In front of so many people, he is willing to put down his body and coax his daughter-in-law, such a person will not be too bad after all, Huang Liang is a little impressed by him.

Nan Xuanye hooked her lips, with a little helplessness: "Don't you know, my daughter-in-law is amazing, I don't dare to offend." ”

That being said, the expected pampering and indulgence are almost overflowing.

Although Fang Xinghan and the others watched it for a few days, they were still not used to it, and they couldn't help but cover their cheeks and glance at each other.

Tooth acid.

Suddenly, Huang Liang glanced at the other three and asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Nan Xuanye introduced lightly: "This is my friend, I came to the imperial city to see the style of the capital, and I will leave after a few days, but I will not go with us." ”

Huang Liang immediately smiled: "General Nan, why do you lie to this official? ”

Nan Xuanye was slightly stunned, a little surprised by this person's straightforwardness, his face was silent, and he was even a little dazed: "How do you say this?" ”

"General Nan is also a smart person, and this official doesn't go around the bend with you." Huang Liang said bluntly: "I know what the identities of the two are, and I also know that you are traveling all the way, since you are all here, why lie?" ”

Several people were stunned, this Lord Huang is too straightforward, how can there be such a big debunking?

Huang Liang didn't care about the strange faces of these people, and raised his hand to invite a few people in: "Since a few people have already arrived, let's settle down here, clean up, and I'll take you into the palace." ”

Nan Xuanye and Yuan Zhijiang glanced at each other, quickly reached some kind of agreement, and said: "Lord Huang, we have just arrived in the imperial city, and we can be described as dusty servants, let us rest for a day first, and then enter the palace with you tomorrow." ”

Huang Liang was silent for a moment, and then unceremoniously exposed them: "Haven't you already repaired, since you are here, you can go directly to the palace, why delay any longer?" ”

Nan Xuan was stunned at night, obviously a little surprised, how did this person know that they were resting outside the city.

He didn't ask, just pressed the question in his heart, but Yang Yuan was a little breathless: "How do you know?" We didn't tell anyone about our rest at the inn. ”

He thought of something, and his face changed: "Did you send someone to spy on us?" ”

Huang Liang smiled slightly: "Child, you are too careful, not to spy on you, within three hundred miles of this imperial city, no wind and grass can escape the guards in the city." ”

Although his words were faint, there was a clear trace of pride in his eyes.

Everyone was shocked, they had long thought that the imperial city would be heavily guarded, but they didn't expect that this imperial city would be so strict.

Nan Xuanye had no choice but to respond: "Since Lord Huang is in a hurry, then let's enter the palace with you." ”

Huang Liang smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, Imperial City, Imperial City, what can I hide from the emperor, General Nan said that I am right?" ”

The implication is that the emperor has long known when they will be here, but he is waiting for them to enter the palace.

Nan Xuanye was taken aback by this conjecture, and then felt that he was not surprised, the last time he saw this emperor, he knew that it was an aspiring king, wise and wise, but he didn't see it at a deeper level.

"Thank you Lord Huang for mentioning it, we will follow you into the palace."

Huang Liang patted him on the shoulder: "You are a smart person, I know that your lady is pregnant and has traveled a long way, so people have prepared a carriage, and several of you can sit on it, but I think you are all iron-blooded men, I am afraid that you prefer to ride horses." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came with four horses and a carriage.

Nan Xuanye waved his hand: "I'll ride in a carriage with my lady, you can ride a horse." ”

Fang Xinghan and the others naturally had no opinion, Lord Huang also rode in the carriage, compared to the luxurious carriage prepared for Qin Miaomiao, his one was simply so simple that it was inconspicuous, not at all like the Ministry of Rites Shangshu sat on.

The people got on the cart and got on the horse, and walked to the palace.

Fang Xinghan grabbed the reins, slowed down and walked beside the carriage, and sighed in a low voice: "How can these two adults be more upright than the sixth child?" ”

Speaking bluntly, Nan Xuanye was directly exposed by him several times to shirk, which means that Nan Xuanye has a calm personality and does not show anything unusual, I am afraid that others would have messed up a long time ago.
