"Gone."

Without waiting for An Rushui to speak again, Chen Xiao waved his hand and left.

Outside the East Palace.

Colliers has been waiting for a long time.

"The slave is ready, waiting for the master."

Gao Lishi greeted Chen Xiao with courtesy, and Chen Xiao got on the sedan chair and walked out from a small gate in the imperial city.

Dashun's Shangjing.

The core is the imperial city where the emperor and his family concubines live.

Outside the imperial city, it is closely surrounded by the location of important ministers in the court, royal clansmen, and important institutions of the imperial court.

On the periphery, it is the residence of those rich and noble families, shops and other common people.

In other words, the closer you are to the Imperial City, the more prominent your status becomes.

Hussar general, Xu Youliang's Xu family's mansion, after coming out of the main gate of the imperial city, only walked dozens of meters to arrive.

occupies a very conspicuous position.

Arguably.

Even if the Xu family is not a saint now, its status is extremely high.

Think back decades ago, even in the early years of the founding of the country.

At that time, the Xu family was so trusted by the emperor, and how powerful it was!

When Chen Xiao stepped down from the chariot.

What I saw in front of me was a feeling that things were wrong, and Xie Yan, the king in front of the old hall.

The architecture of the Ducal Palace is still remarkable.

Several large characters inscribed by Emperor Gaozu in the "General's Mansion" are hung on a high place as a plaque.

Eight vermilion lacquer pillars juxtaposed side by side divide the wide palace gate into seven bays, which is only one notch lower than the nine bays of the palace.

There are also red walls and red tiles in the distance.

In the Great Shun Dynasty, the highest grade of color was yellow, followed by red, and then green, blue.

The decoration of the Xu family is still only one notch lower than the royal family.

It's all the rules.

Looking at the world, only the Xu family is worthy of this specification.

"Master, the slave is going to call the door."

Colliers said.

"Go alone!"

Chen Xiao stopped Gao Lishi and stepped forward in person.

The Xu family, not only when the founding of the country, made immortal contributions.

In the following hundreds of years, he repeatedly and loyally helped the community to peril.

For this loyalty.

Chen Xiao is willing to give the greatest respect to the founder of the empire.

Chen Xiao climbed the stairs.

At this time, the Xu family, which was obscure and low-key, did not even have a family member guarding the door.

Chen Xiao picked up the copper nail of the red-lacquered gate and knocked on the door.

Moment.

The side door creaked open, and a servant who looked like a subordinate looked at Chen Xiao a few times and asked:

"Who are you, what are you doing in the General's Mansion?"

"You go to inform the master of the Li family, and you will say that there is an old man who has come to visit, and you will know when you meet."

Chen Xiao said.

"A visit from the deceased? How old are you? Dare to be called the old man of my family's general? ”

The little guy obviously didn't believe it, and was skeptical.

If it weren't for his master's orders not to cause trouble, he would have closed the door and ignored it.

"Tell you to go, and you will go! What is the rambling? ”

Behind Chen Xiao, Gao Lishi spoke coldly.

The little guy saw Gao Lishi's cold face, and even his voice was soft, and he didn't know why, but he felt a chill in his heart.

Colliers spoke again:

"If you delay things, can you afford this head?"

The little guy didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and hurriedly said:

"Wait, you two, I'll report it."

The little guy left.

Gao Lishi immediately nodded and said to Chen Xiao:

"Master, this little guy really doesn't have long eyes, if he dares to talk nonsense, the slave can't help but ask him to lie down."

Chen Xiaozheng didn't even look at him:

"Since Lone has a private visit, he doesn't plan to put on a big shelf. You put away my temperament for me, and don't show off outside! ”

"Yes, yes." In a word, Gao Lishi's face tightened:

"The minion is wrong."

After a while.

There was a sound of footsteps inside.

The side door opens again.

The leader is extremely tall and burly, with a strong and sharp momentum, like a sharp knife, as if the next moment with his momentum alone will split people in half.

This person is the master of the Xu Mansion, the hussar general, Duke Xu Youliang.

When he saw Chen Xiao, Xu Youliang was taken aback.

Looking at Chen Xiao's groveling Gao Lishi behind him, Xu Youliang immediately understood the identity of the young man in front of him.

Colliers has been by the side of the current emperor for decades.

Xu Youliang will not admit his mistake.

He has also seen the current prince a few times, coupled with Gao Lishi's attitude, he no longer hesitated, and he wanted to bow down:

"Sinner Xu..."

"There's no need to be polite, I just don't want to alarm too many people..."

Chen Xiao raised his hand, stopped Xu Youliang's kneeling, and said.

As a general, Xu Youliang is shrewd and capable.

Immediately retreated from the slave who was far behind him, leaving only a young man by his side, Xu Youliang bowed, led his right hand sideways, and whispered:

"Your Highness, please."

said.

The vermilion lacquer gate, which had not been opened for many years, slowly opened.

Large families usually do not go through the main gate, unless the identity of the guest is extremely noble, the main door will be opened to greet them.

Especially for so many years, the Xu family has been going deep into simplicity.

Fortunately, the General's Mansion covers an extremely wide area, and he is the only one in the alley.

Didn't cause much uproar.

Chen Xiao crossed the threshold and entered the general's mansion through the main entrance.

Colliers hurriedly followed.

He was about to follow in, suddenly.

The young man beside Xu Youliang stretched out his hand to stop Gao Lishi and said coldly:

"Eunuch dog thief, do you also deserve to enter from the main gate of my Xu family? Don't give me a quick retreat! ”

As soon as the words fell.

Colliers' face changed dramatically.

He was embarrassed, resentful, and helpless.

Among the big families, there are many people who look down on eunuchs, especially when the East Factory is rampant, many young nobles are eager to slaughter some eunuchs with their own hands.

A moment of stalemate.

Colliers was about to blow up his lungs.

Following His Majesty the Emperor for decades, he was the head of the eunuchs in the palace.

Countless important ministers of the court, seeing him, were all kind and pleasant, and they did not dare to slack off.

Even Tong Guan and others in Dongchang Factory had to be called 'Old Ancestor' when they saw him.

Today, he was insulted by a young man.

Colliers was about to crush his teeth, and said hatefully:

"The miscellaneous family is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch..."

The young man said even more disdainfully:

"Whatever, a gelding dog entered from the main gate of my house, and it insulted my Xu family's family style when it came out! Want to get in, believe it or not carry your corpse in!"

Colliers' fists clenched.

If it weren't for the master Chen Xiao here, he wouldn't dare to mess around, and would have gone up and killed the Xu family's dog cub with one slap.

Chen Xiao turned around, didn't even look at the young man, and asked Xu Youliang lightly:

"What does General Xu mean?"

Xu Youliang hurriedly bowed down and said:

"It's all up to Your Highness!"

Chen Xiao looked at the resentful Gao Lishi before he said:

"It stands to reason that the identity and status of the wrestlers are indeed not qualified to go through this main gate, this is the rule, and it cannot be changed..."

Hear the words of the master.

Without saying a word, Colliers lowered his head and walked towards the side door.

The heavens and the earth are big, and the imperial power is the greatest. This is seared in the bones of the eunuchs.
