Chapter 193: The Imperial City Goes to the Banquet

On the outskirts of Kyoto City, about ten miles or so, there is a pavilion.

In the pavilion, there is an old man, holding a teacup and tasting tea, around the pavilion, there are only four handymen wearing coarse linen clothes.

It seems ordinary, but in fact, these four people are not simple goods, within a radius of miles, any movement will be perceived at the first time.

The breeze was blowing, and suddenly, the eyes of the four miscellaneous servants suddenly opened, and a terrifying murderous aura was suddenly released.

At this time, the old man sitting in the pavilion said softly, "My guests have arrived, so please stand down."

The four of them nodded, their bodies moved, and they disappeared directly.

Outside the pavilion, Su Qi'an and Su Yong stood quietly, and with Su Qi'an's steps, after a while, Su Yong's figure disappeared.

Su Qi'an walked up to the old man, took off the black robe on his head, and saluted respectfully.

"Junior, meet Master Wen."

This old man was the first emperor to leave.

Long before Wen Xuan left, Su Qi'an received a message from Wen Xuan and asked him to meet him on the outskirts of the city.

Su Qi'an was still a little surprised by Wenxuan's appointment, after all, with his identity, even if he was talented, he was not qualified to meet the leader of the literary world, the president of the Hanlin Academy.

Su Qi'an still respects this literary leader, and before coming to Kyoto, he was entrusted by Lin Yuanzhi.

If you are in Kyoto and encounter something that cannot be solved, you can take his letter of recommendation and go to Wenxuan.

Unexpectedly, before Su Qi'an started to move, the leader of the literary world found him first.

Su Qi'an sat opposite Wenxuan, sipping tea carefully, Wenxuan still had that smiling look.

Nodding at Su Qi'an, he said softly, "Yuan Zhi has already told me about your coming to Kyoto."

"Originally, the old man was still thinking about what kind of talent he could make Yuan Zhi value so much, but today's auction really opened the old man's eyes."

"Don't say anything else, just with Uncle Dongshan's talent, you don't need a recommendation at all, and the old man will take care of it."

"The junior is here, thank you, Master."

Wen Xuan waved his hand and said casually, "Hey, Uncle Dongshan is polite, Uncle Dongshan is talented, with his own strength, even if the old man doesn't take care of it, there must be many people in Kyoto who want to make friends with Uncle Dongshan."

Su Qi'an shook his head and said directly, "Kyoto is Vanity Fair, and the reason why the younger generation holds the auction is not to make friends with the so-called powerful, but to gain a firm foothold."

"As for the friendship of the powerful, today I call you a brother and sister, maybe one day, you will be stabbed in the back, only your own strength is strong, is the foundation."

Su Qi'an's words made Wen Xuan look a little sideways, he looked at Su Qi'an deeply, and nodded, "It is worthy of being a person valued by Yuanzhi, and now there are not many young people who can see the situation clearly like Dongshan Bo and not be carried away by the falsehood in front of him."

"The old man understands a little bit this time, Yuan Zhi values you."

The reason why Su Qi'an confessed his heart to Wen Xuan was out of trust in Lin Yuanzhi.

Before leaving Xizhou, Su Qi'an had an exchange with Lin Yuanzhi.

According to Lin Yuanzhi, in Kyoto, the most just and least suspicious is the leader of the literary world, the president of the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, if you want to gain the appreciation and protection of this person, there is still a big premise that you can prove your talent.

If you don't even have talent, how can Wenxuan be able to meet you.

Wen Xuan tasted the tea on the table, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Dongshan, what do you think of our majesty?"

Wen Xuan's words surprised Su Qi'an, but he quickly recovered and said.

"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and the cultural and martial arts are very good, and the people of Daliang still live and work in peace and contentment under the governance of Your Majesty."

Hahaha.

At this time, Wen Xuan actually laughed, and then he asked, "What about His Majesty's princes?"

"The younger generation has just come to Kyoto, and the princes are not familiar with them, but they are quite good."

"If, in your opinion, among these princes, who is the most suitable crown prince, what does Dongshan Bo think?"

"This is Your Majesty's family matter, we naturally can't talk about it, I think Your Majesty should have his own ideas, don't worry about it."

Su Qi'an said very calmly, without the slightest panic on his face, and looked very sincere.

Wen Xuan nodded with a smile and chuckled, "It seems that the old man doesn't have to worry, and there is nothing to say to Uncle Dongshan, I just hope that Uncle Dongshan will not be able to do anything at the banquet in three days, and he can still remember his identity."

"Then this banquet may be able to give Dongshan Bo a kind of creation."

Su Qi'an nodded thoughtfully, bowed his hand to Wen Xuan, and said respectfully, "Thank you Master for teaching, the younger generation has been taught."

"It's okay, it's all a trivial matter, if Dongshan Bo can enter the Hanlin Academy, what you think in your heart, the old man can talk to you."

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, thinking about something in his heart, and not long after, Wen Xuan's voice sounded in his ears.

"Okay, what should be said has been said, we will meet again in the future."

By the time Su Qi'an came back to his senses, in front of him, Wen Xuan's figure had already left.

Looking at Wen Xuan's back, Su Qi'an's eyes were thoughtful, and there was a little brightness in his eyes.

"Su Yong, let's go."

Turning his head, Su Qi'an greeted him, Su Yong appeared, and the two left the pavilion.

According to the previous practice, in the evening, the two quietly returned to Kyoto and returned to the annex.

Stepping into the courtyard, under the management of Liu Meng, the courtyard was only taken care of.

Seeing Su Qi'an return, Liu Meng and Xu Tangtang stepped forward quickly and saluted respectfully.

As for Sun Wen, he scattered all his family members and was responsible for the security of the perimeter of the annex and the collection of intelligence in Kyoto.

Of course, these are all carried out in secret, and the Sun family still has to keep a low profile and develop silently, which is what Su Qi'an ordered.

One is in the light, the other is in the dark, only in this way can it be easy to do things.

Su Qi'an looked at Liu Meng and said softly, "Liu Meng, you performed very well in today's auction."

"Everything is taught by the gentleman."

"This is your own credit, I hope you will continue to maintain it, and whether we can gain a foothold in Kyoto depends on your performance."

"Yes, sir, the slave family will continue to work hard and definitely live up to the expectations of the gentleman." Liu Meng's face was excited, this was the first time she felt important.

It is a very happy thing to be valued by Su Qi'an.

"Brother Su, what about Xiao Tang, you praised Sister Meng, did Xiao Tang behave badly?"

Hearing Xu Xiaotang's jealous words, Su Qi'an smiled and rubbed Xu Xiaotang's hair and said softly.

"Our little candy is also very good, but little sugar has to study hard, only in this way can we help my brother faster."

"Brother Su, don't worry, Xiao Tang will definitely help you." Xu Xiaotang smiled, her small fists clenched, and she looked happy.

After chatting with the two of them for a few words, Liu Meng left with Xu Xiaotang, and Su Qi'an returned to the room.

The excitement of the outside world is still continuing, but it does not disturb Su Qi'an.

At present, the periphery of the courtyard, within a range of 200 meters, is all guarded and patrolled by the security forces.

The guards sent by Sun Wen also served as Su Qi'an's personal bodyguards and patrolled with the security forces.

Without Su Qi'an's permission, no one would want to get close to the vicinity of this annex.

Therefore, no matter how noisy the outside world is, it can't affect Su Qi'an.

Three days passed in a flash, and the closed gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and a carriage stopped at the door early.

Around the carriage, there was a large number of guards, all of whom were security forces.

Responsible for escorting Su Qi'an to the Imperial City of Kyoto.

Of course, they will definitely not be able to enter the Imperial City, after all, the Imperial City is an absolute important place in Kyoto.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to lead troops into the imperial city.

This, they also know,

But being able to participate in escorts, on that point, is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

And this time in the imperial city, Su Qi'an was the only one by his side.

Su Qi'an was not worried at all about what would happen to the next imperial city banquet.

After all, it is an imperial city, the dormitory of the royal nobles, even if some people are targeting Su Qi'an, it is bold, it is impossible to assassinate in the imperial city in a grand manner.

Then this is not only looking for death, but taking your own family to the abyss from which you will never recover.

No one, with a brain, would do that.

The carriage drove slowly, and soon came to an avenue, and everyone around looked at the carriage heading for it, and they all retreated to avoid it.

They all know who is in the carriage and where they are going.

Almost everyone's eyes are full of envy and awe.

Without pedestrians, the carriage entered central Kyoto in less than a quarter of an hour.

The place where the marquis and the magnates of the country lived.

The area of central Kyoto is much smaller than that of the outer part of Kyoto, but each mansion is quite luxurious and exudes a strong majesty.

On the streets, there are very few ordinary people, most of them are big businessmen and patrol soldiers.

Even the shops and restaurants on the street, just by looking at it, you can see that it is very luxurious.

Su Qi'an was not interested, he just glanced at it, and his eyes were attracted by the end of the road, at the very front, a huge, like a giant city.

Although this city is far away and can only be seen approximately, the absolute aura that belongs to the royal majesty can be felt by Su Qi'an from such a distance.

After driving for almost half an hour, this giant city, more precisely Miyagi, appeared in Su Qi'an's sight.

The palace city is very large, there is no end in sight, the city walls are made of marble, and the eaves of the palace are all agate jade, carefully built, and look very magnificent.

There is only one main gate of Miyagi, but it is very high, about 20 meters, and the city gate is made of golden silk nanmu.

With Su Qi'an's arrival, the closed city gate slowly opened, and a thick and majestic aura emanated.

A team of forbidden troops appeared with neat steps, after checking Su Qi'an's identity.

After completing the handover with the security army, he took Su Qi'an into the imperial city, and the security army at the gate, with envious eyes, watched Su Qi'an disappear into the imperial city.
