Chapter 7: Shattering Courage (Seeking Reading)

The next day, the sun was shining.

Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the east gate of the palace, and the guards and servants served on the left and right.

He reached out to cover his forehead and looked up, the towering walls were majestic, and the width of the east gate required his head to be fully lifted to see the top.

This is the Imperial Palace, the residence of the Son of Heaven, the center of the world!

The sun is not big, and the breeze is pleasant.

Zhu Qiyu has a long sword hanging at his waist, if he is not dressed in a green robe and wearing a beam crown, he may really be recognized as a wandering ranger.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu has had a martial arts dream since he was a child, drunk in the rivers and lakes, chivalrous and righteous, how chic and wanton.

It's a pity that the current situation does not allow him to have such thoughts.

If he could, he wanted to be an idle prince.

Zhu Qiyu squinted slightly, and there was a sigh in his heart.

Getting back to the point, the little eunuch has been in for almost half an hour to pass the word, Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the east gate, looking inside the palace gate, and there was no sign of anyone coming out.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu understood a little in his heart.

Needless to say, it must be Wang Zhen's ghost.

The purpose is very clear, that is, to suppress Zhu Qiyu and let him know that if he wants to contact the emperor, he must first pass the pass of Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen's careful thinking, Zhu Qiyu could guess effortlessly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered: "What a slave who doesn't know whether to live or die." ”

And the fact is indeed as Zhu Qiyu expected, the excerpt he handed over to request to enter the palace was privately deducted by Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen in the palace didn't know that he was in trouble, and he was still secretly happy, thinking that he could use this incident to beat Zhu Qiyu.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and the attendants on the side were a little overwhelmed.

Li Si, who had a difficult face, couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "Lord Wang, why don't we go back to the house, let's wait until noon, the emperor is probably a little busy today." ”

"It's not a good idea." Listening to Li Si's persuasion, Zhu Qiyu scolded with his head covered his face.

Then Zhu Qiyu shattered his hopes with another sentence, "What's there to be anxious about?" It's not the middle of the night, you go find a few stools, and buy some melons and fruits by the way. ”

"No." The guards clenched their fists and left.

With that, Zhu Qiyu stepped forward and came to the guard.

Seeing this, the guard saluted respectfully, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, and then asked cordially, "Brother, do you have food here?" ”

Hearing this, the guards were immediately blindsided.

What does that mean...... Are you planning to really rely on this?

The guard thought for a long time before squeezing out a sentence, "If Your Highness doesn't dislike ......"

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu suddenly laughed, patted the guard's shoulder and said, "Words are serious, brothers are serious......"

Before he finished speaking, someone behind him suddenly nodded at him.

Zhu Qiyu turned his head and was immediately overjoyed.

It is the princess who is accompanied by a servant girl - Wang Ruoxue.

Not only that, but the princess was still carrying a food box in the hands of a group of maidservants.

"I guessed that the prince might be blocked out of the palace by that guy, and now it's almost noon, so I specially asked the cook to cook some food." Wang Ruoxue said with concern: "The prince's daughter's body, you can't be hungry." ”

"Actually, I still prefer your cooking." Zhu Qiyu took the food box and said.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ruoxue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva and said, "Of course this is true!" If it weren't true, I would have beaten Li Si to death. ”

Li Si, who had just found the bench on the side, froze in place.

Li Si was hurt by 10,000 points in his heart!

These words made Wang Ruoxue laugh, and then Wang Ruoxue changed her words and said, "I don't know how long that guy will be able to let the prince in." ”

The guy referred to here is naturally not the emperor Zhu Qizhen, but the great eunuch Wang Zhen.

"Soon." Zhu Qiyu smiled, "Madame will sit down for a while." ”

As he spoke, he helped Wang Ruoxue to sit on the chair.

Not long after lunch, sure enough, a little eunuch walked out of the palace and saluted Zhu Qiyu and Wang Ruoxue respectfully: "The emperor summoned His Royal Highness King Yu into the palace." ”

Hearing this, Wang Ruoxue glanced at Zhu Qiyu worriedly.

"It's okay, just wait for my good news." Zhu Qiyu touched her head and sprinkled away.

Holding a sword through the layers of palaces, ordinary people can't believe such a scene.

The two came to a gate outside, inside which was a small bridge and flowing water, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

The little eunuch stopped outside the door.

The meaning is very clear, the road behind has to be completed by Zhu Qiyu alone.

Zhu Qiyu stepped in, and one person on the back foot came up.

This man has a monkey gills with a sharp beak and a whisk in his hand.

It's none other than the eunuch - Wang Zhen!

"The old slave greets His Royal Highness." Wang Zhen bowed respectfully and said apologetically: "The old slave saw that His Majesty was busy with government affairs, so he reported at this time, His Highness has waited for a long time, and His Highness forgives his sins." ”

seems to be apologizing, but in fact he is telling Zhu Qiyu.

Without my Wang Zhen's report, you Zhu Qiyu don't even want to fall in front of the emperor with a word.

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he smiled and said, "Princess, don't come unharmed." ”

Nothing seems to be happening between the words.

"The old slave is still like this, the emperor is in the imperial study, and the old slave will go to report." Wang Zhen said in a low voice.

Although the posture is very low, the meaning of Wang Zhen's words is very clear.

You still want to fight me?!

However, Zhu Qiyu turned a deaf ear to this, turned to Wang Zhen and asked, "I heard that Wang Gonggong used to be a teacher?" ”

Wang Zhen bowed and said: "What the prince said is good, the old slave used to teach for a few years. ”

Not only did he teach for a few years, but he also served as a waiter in the palace.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen's tail curled higher, and he even got a little carried away.

As everyone knows, this is the beginning of his nightmare.

Zhu Qiyu squinted slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Since the prince has taught before, he must have heard of the three rooms in the world. ”

"This ...... The old slave had never heard of it. ”

"It's okay, this king will explain a thing or two to the prince today."

Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "There are three swords in the world, the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the Shuren. ”

"The sword of the Son of Heaven is based on Yan Yu Shicheng as the edge, and Qi Dai as the sword; Jin Wei is the spine, Zhou Song is the spine, and Han Wei is the clamp; Wrap it in four times, wrap it in four hours; Circumambulated by the Bohai Sea, with Changshan; The system is based on the five elements, and the criminal virtue is discussed; Open with yin and yang, hold with spring and summer, and line with autumn and winter. This sword is straight and unstoppable, supreme, case-in-the-bottom, and untouchable. Rise to the clouds, down to the Jedi. ”

"The sword of the princes is to take the warriors as the edge, the honest and honest as the spine, the virtuous and virtuous as the spine, the loyal saints as the Tan, and the heroic warriors as the sandwich. This sword is straight and there is no front, it is supreme, there is no case down, and there is no side to it. The upper law rounds the sky to shun the three lights, and the lower law is to shun the four times, neutralizing the public opinion and securing the four townships. ”

"The sword of the Shuren, the unkempt sideburns, the hanging crown, the tassel of the manhu, the clothes of the short back, are blind and difficult to speak. Hit each other in front, cut the neck collar up, and cut the liver and lungs down. ”

"This king is a layman, and he is the sword of a good man, I don't know if the prince can learn a thing or two." Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Zhen coldly.

Between the words, Zhu Qiyu had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this situation, Wang Zhen couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart, and his face immediately showed a look of panic.

Immediately, Zhu Qiyu changed his words and asked: "I heard that the prince made a statement to the emperor and seized the grain and grass of my army?" ”

The language is concise and sharp, and the sharp edge is directed at Wang Zhen.

This Wang Zhen was frightened by Zhu Qiyu's terrifying momentum, and hurriedly excused himself: "The slave is worried about the people of the world, if the army is on an expedition for too long, I am afraid that the people will suffer." ”

As he spoke, his tone choked up, as if there was such a thing.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Zhen's performance coldly, joking in his heart, whoever comes to sympathize with the people of the world will not be his turn Wang Zhenlai.

"The prince is really worried about the country and the people." Zhu Qiyu pretended to sigh.

Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "The old slave is just a lowly slave, who has just been educated by the emperor's side, and he can't go to the court. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu sighed, "It seems that the prince still hasn't remembered the words engraved on the stele erected by Emperor Taizu Gao." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhen's body shook, and a cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"In this case, it seems that this king has no choice but to clean up the portal for the emperor, and then go to confess." Zhu Qiyu read it meaningfully.

At this time, Wang Zhen's gaze fluttered, and somehow fell on the sword on Zhu Qiyu's waist.

Immediately, Wang Zhen's face changed suddenly.

King Yu said today that he came to offer swords, and said that there are three swords in the world, isn't it......

No, it's impossible, although I can't compare with him, but I'm a close minister of the emperor's side, if he dares to kill me, aren't you afraid that the emperor will really blame him?!

Wang Zhen stared at Zhu Qiyu's sword in a daze, and said to himself ten thousand times in his heart not to panic, but a person like him who is greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, just glimpses Zhu Qiyu's majestic momentum has been frightened by his general courage.

The remaining half was completely shattered as Zhu Qiyu slowly drew out his long sword.

The sunlight shone down and fell on the long sword, and the cold sword light flashed over Wang Zhen's shriveled face.

Zhu Qiyu swung his sword, and the blade carried a strong wind, smashing on Wang Zhen's face, and a murderous aura directly enveloped Wang Zhen.

Groanβ€”β€”!

A low sword groan suddenly sounded.

The sword light and sword shadow flashed away, as if to cut off all the places where the sword blade passed.

"Shhβ€”β€”!h

Wang Zhen's long hair was cut off in unison, and the cold long sword was impartially attached to his neck.

The cold and piercing touch spread along the sword body to Wang Zhen's body.

Wang Zhen's eyes suddenly became blank, his legs trembled with fright, where is Wang Zhen still so invincible and arrogant.

It's completely a clown who jumps off the beam and is slaughtered by others,

Puff β€”β€”!

There was a heavy fall.

This eunuch, who lived deep in the palace and had never seen any killing and sword shadows, was frightened at this moment and sat down heavily on the ground.

His face was bloodless and trembling.

The whole process is only in a moment.

The sword light and sword shadow, the killing intent is cold.

The next moment, Wang Zhen was like a baby who was extremely scared, kowtowing to death in the direction of the imperial study, and the blood was soon stained all over the bluestone slab.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor saves the old slave!"
