Chapter 186: Enter the Temple
The next day, the sky is clear, the clouds are not stained, look up, it is a pool of clear almost bottomless blue sky, in the blue, leisurely floating a few thin clouds, as if sunburned, is so gentle, the autumn breeze is blowing, caressing the cheeks, moisturized by the brilliant sun, bringing a trace of warmth.
Under the strict protection of nearly a hundred master guards, accompanied by a few neighing horses, a luxury carriage slowly drove out of the royal auction house, the black wheels ran over on the hard stone road, leaving a shallow rut mark, and the pedestrians around saw the carriage coming, they all hurriedly avoided it, although they did not know that the carriage was sitting in the prince, but it was not difficult to guess that it was a powerful family.
Sitting quietly in the carriage, looking at Li Youxuan and the two who seemed to be smiling and staring at him, listening to the sound of rolling from the axle below, Lu Yu couldn't help pouting, and suddenly had a feeling of being abducted and trafficked in his heart, and immediately lifted the green cloth curtain, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, felt the warmth brought by the sun, and gently praised: "It's so nice here!"
Li Youxuan glanced at the tall buildings outside the car, then stopped at Lu Yu, showed a shallow smile, and said softly: "If you feel good, you can come and see it often, but there are many better places than here, and when you go to Xingyi Academy, will you forget about us completely." ”
Lu Yu turned around, looked at Li Youxuan's eyes, and said seriously: "How could it be?" I am from Lujia Town, and I am from Fengyun Country, no matter how I wander outside, I will come back sooner or later." ”
I don't know how many hours later, the carriage drove to the gate of the imperial city, Lu Yu looked up at the majestic towering buildings, his eyes looked at the rows of soldiers at the head of the city along the extremely high city wall, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, but he couldn't help admiring in his heart, the imperial city defense was really strong.
Then the carriage entered the palace. Driving slowly on the spacious bluestone avenue, Lu Yu's eyes kept shooting outside, wanting to take in the appearance of the entire palace, but his vision was all blocked by the strong barriers on both sides, and he only saw the cloud-like edges and corners on the cornices, as well as the dragons next to him, with golden scales and golden armor, vivid, as if he wanted to fly into the air and go straight to the blue sky.
Lu Yu was speechless. It was like being in a towering cage, and I only felt that the palace was very high, and I didn't have the opportunity to see the whole palace at all.
Then Lu Yu followed them out of the car and walked, slowly walking along the almost invisible steps in front of him, and after a while, Lu Yu couldn't help but glance back, looking at the huge palace that he had passed through before, but now it had become a small pavilion, and he was very relieved. There is a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.
Turning around slowly, Lu Yu glanced at the steps that had only climbed half of the steps, and gasped: "Brother Li, Sister You Xuan." Are we going to climb the mountain, or are we going somewhere?"
The two of them stopped suddenly, and their eyes showed a little helplessness when they looked at him, and Li Youxuan gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. smiled and said: "Of course it's the main hall of the palace, hurry up, all the civil and military officials are waiting for you." Are you embarrassed to keep them waiting?"
Lu Yu hurriedly followed, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't let them wait, they had nothing to do by themselves." ”
Li Youxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at his slightly immature cheeks, and smiled: "Stop playing with children's tempers, Xiao Lu, if you go late, it's strange that they don't give you small shoes to wear." ”
Lu Yu glared at Li Youxuan, looking like he was about to go berserk, and said angrily: "My name is Lu Yu, don't call me Xiao Lu." ”
Li Xun looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Lu, what a cute deer, when will you go up the mountain to fight a few more." ”
Li Youxuan suddenly sneered, looked at Lu Yu's angry appearance, and said with a smile: "It's still the emperor's brother who has a rich imagination, Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, what a cute name, this county lord is now giving you the name Xiao Lu, don't you want to hide your identity? This name is very suitable for you." ”
Lu Yu suddenly stopped and said angrily: "I protest, if you use this name, I won't go, let you wait there in vain." ”
Li Youxuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Yu's serious expression, sighed and shook his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't call you Xiaolu, call you Xiaoyu, it's okay." ”
Lu Yu smiled and said: "This name is not bad, the empty nest is in the pine tree, and the feathers fall into the river mud." ”
Li Youxuan was slightly stunned, looked at Lu Yu with some consternation, and said, "What do you mean?
Lu Yu suddenly scratched his head and sneered: "I didn't write it, I read it elsewhere, it seems to be a homesick poem, I only remember a few sentences: the empty nest is in the pine pine, the feathers fall into the river mud, the water is not drunk, the forest is not inhabited, the farewell should be easy to grow old, and the two miles are sad." ”
Li Youxuan's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and his eyes also showed admiration when he looked at Lu Yu, and he smiled: "I now believe that you, a cultivation madman, can actually win Huangpu Jingyun in literature." ”
Lu Yu stared at Li Youxuan's flashing spiritual eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me with such adoring eyes, because you are in danger of falling down at any time, and don't be obsessed with me, brother is just a legend." ”
Li Youxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, no longer paid attention to Lu Yu, and walked forward quickly, and after a while, the three of them passed through a wide corridor supported by red pillars, and finally came to a magnificent and tall golden palace before stopping, Li Xun said something to a few little eunuchs, and one of them walked forward quickly to pass the word.
"Prince Xuan, the county lord and Yu Xiaoyu are here!"
Not long after, the voice of a eunuch came from the hall, Lu Yu was speechless in his heart, he didn't expect that even the name Li Youxuan had already helped him think of it, and immediately followed them slowly into the main hall, and the corner of his eye swept beside him, and found that there were hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides, standing tightly in two long rows, which was extremely spectacular.
The moment he entered the main hall, Lu Yu was also a little nervous in his heart, and he felt enveloped by an invisible coercion, which was not the coercion of Yuan Li, but a dull royal majesty, which was daunting, and not surprisingly, the eyes of these people fell on Lu Yu, like hundreds of invisible blades, wanting to pierce the deepest secret in his heart.
Among these people, Lu Yu saw Huangpu Jingyun, which did not surprise him, after all, Huangpu Jingyun was a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and his official position was not small, and what surprised him was that he also found Zhou Dongren and Su Chi, although the two of them had prominent family backgrounds, Zhou Dongren's grandfather was one of the marshals of the five major towns, and Su Chi's father was the secretary of the Criminal Department, but after all, the two of them were not officials in the imperial court, how could they appear in the main hall? This really made Lu Yu feel incomprehensible.
Lu Yu couldn't understand, Li Youxuan didn't expect it, in fact, this was the emperor's intention, like Su Chi and Zhou Dongren, these young generations are all pillars of the empire, some want to inherit the ancestral industry and serve the empire in the future, now there are several super geniuses in the empire who can sign up for Xingyi Academy, and these people are all based on Lu Yu, in addition to letting the civil and military officials meet him, they also want these young generations to take Lu Yu as an example and work hard to serve the empire in the future.
Feeling this invisible coercion, Lu Yu was also secretly wondering in his heart, seeing whether His Majesty the Emperor should kneel and bow, he has the thoughts of modern people, after all, he is different from them, let him kneel and bow to a monarch from another world, he can't pass this threshold in his heart, if not, he is afraid that they will say that he is arrogant and has no monarch, and he may offend the emperor and cause trouble, and he is coming with the county lord, which will also make them feel embarrassed, considering the above reasons, this is also the reason why Lu Yu does not want to see His Majesty the Emperor.
No matter how much, Lu Yu gritted his teeth fiercely, and secretly decided in his heart, this is the main hall of the palace, the majesty of the emperor is inviolable, what Li Youxuan and the others do, they will also do it, so as not to make them unable to come to the stage.
Li Xun and the two of them bent their backs with their chests, bowed their heads and necks, made a solemn salute, and said solemnly: "The sons and daughters visit their fathers and ask for peace to their fathers." ”
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Li Xun and the others, smiled, and said, "Excuse me, I heard that you were attacked by more than a dozen men in black, are you better now?"
Li Xun saluted again and said slowly: "Erchen has recovered now, thank you for your father's concern, Erchen has sent people in the past few days, and I believe that all these people will be captured soon." ”
"Well, it's okay. His Majesty the Emperor nodded, smiled, and then slowly fell on Lu Yu, and said in a flat tone: "You are Yu Xiaoyu?" (to be continued......)
