Volume 1 The Prince's Journey Back to Kyoto Chapter 20 I am the master of this
After arriving near Kyoto, even if Princess Changyang repeatedly dissuaded him, Lin Xiuyuan still resolutely got out of the carriage and did not walk with them, so at this moment, in front of the city gate of Kyoto, he was the only one, and Princess Changyang and her party had already entered the city two hours ago.
When the eldest princess returned to Beijing, it was naturally very moving, not only did the forbidden army line up outside the city, but even some officials of the Ministry of Rites went out of the city to greet her, the scene was extremely grand, and at that time, Lin Xiuyuan was standing on the hillside in the distance, quietly watching the scene, until the other party's convoy completely disappeared behind the Kyoto city gate, and after another hour, he slowly came to the city gate.
Lin Xiuyuan walked slowly into the city, although his image is a little peculiar, but there are many people who practice martial arts in the Holy Zhou Dynasty, but it has not attracted the attention of the city gate guards, he entered the east gate, from here to the inner city to go through a long distance of fifty miles, of which the bustling streets alone have to pass a lot.
But Lin Xiuyuan was not in a hurry at the moment, he had not returned to Kyoto for a long time, everything here was strange to him, when he left, he was only five years old, at that time he had not yet enlightened his mind, and he only had a vague concept of the things around him, and he had not been out of the palace since he was a child because of physical reasons, so everything in the outer city was only seen once when he left with his master.
Looking at the bustling and lively street market, people come and go, countless vendors are selling along the street, but it is a thriving scene, Kyoto City is really worthy of being the imperial capital of Holy Week, Lin Xiuyuan thinks that he has also traveled all over Kyushu, and has been to countless towns, whether it is Holy Week or the country of the Southern Jin Dynasty, almost all of his and Xie Xinghe's footprints have fallen, but to say that the most prosperous, nothing is more prosperous.
Along the way, it took more than two hours, Lin Xiuyuan finally came to the inner city, there are eight city gates in the inner city, but the defense is extremely tight, almost every city gate is guarded by the forbidden army, Lin Xiuyuan has not yet approached, he was stopped, he looked at these forbidden army guards with grim expressions, frowned slightly, he didn't think that he would be blocked.
Could it be that he could only report his name here and say his identity, but deep down in Lin Xiuyuan's heart, he didn't want to tell his identity in advance, because he didn't want to make a big splash when he went home this time, but just be quiet.
Once his identity is announced here, it is destined to cause a great reaction, and the result is beyond his expectations, thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan did not continue to stay in front of the city gate, but turned around and left.
In the next time, Lin Xiuyuan followed the inner city wall, spared a circle, and finally found a place that was not too heavily defended, he raised his eyes and looked at the city wall dozens of zhang high, without hesitation, he jumped into the city easily, and then jumped again, and already appeared in the inner city.
Landing silently, with his cultivation of the forging realm, this is naturally difficult for him, after looking around, after determining the direction, Lin Xiuyuan began to walk in the direction of his home.
The environment here, Lin Xiuyuan is obviously more familiar, this time, he didn't go too long, he saw where his palace is, you know, the area of Zhennan Wangfu in the inner city is not small, it is extremely significant, to find it, it is naturally simple.
But when Lin Xiuyuan saw the palace, he saw a scene that made him puzzled, and it also stopped the pace he wanted to move forward.
"Open the door, hurry up and hand over Jin'er to me, otherwise, this son will be unkind!"
A thin young man wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist stood in front of the door of the Zhennan Palace, shouting and scolding, his face was full of arrogance and domineering, and he was followed by a team of guards in armor and knives, each with fierce and fierce eyes. It was vaguely surrounded in front of the palace.
The people who can live in the inner city are all princes and nobles, important ministers in the court, and all of them are prominent people.
With the continuous shouting of the young people, the gate of the palace, which had been closed, finally slowly opened, and a slightly old man walked out of the palace, followed by a team of armored soldiers, also wearing armor and swords, forming a confrontation with the young people's team.
Lin Xiuyuan, who was standing in the distance, recognized this person at a glance as the housekeeper of their palace, but he hadn't seen him for ten years, and the old housekeeper had gray temples, Lin Xiuyuan still remembered that when he was a child, he was often taken by this old housekeeper who liked to laugh to see the flowers and snow, at that time, the other party's body was quite healthy, and there was no sign of a bent camel, but in just ten years, the change was so big.
And when the young man saw the old butler come out, he didn't continue to shout, but the arrogance on his face did not diminish by half a point, the old butler first bowed down and saluted, and then stood up straight and said solemnly:
"His Royal Highness, this is the Zhennan Palace, you are shouting here, what kind of system is it, isn't it an insult to the royal dignity of my Holy Zhou Dynasty."
The young man snorted disdainfully:
"Ben Shizi just shouted two sentences here, which is an insult to the dignity of the royal family, so the little maid named Jin'er in your house hit Ben Shizi, isn't it an insult to the dignity of the royal family? Let me tell you, today, this son is here to ask for someone, you quickly hand over the person to this son to take away, and this matter will be stopped, otherwise, I will never give up! ”
The housekeeper's face was ugly, and he stared at the other party and said in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness the Prince is flirting with a woman from a good family on the street, is it right? Jin'er is not just a little maid, but my princess's personal maid, the status of the house is very high, His Royal Highness wants to take people, but also wait for my princess to come back before making a decision. ”
The young man said secretly in his heart, Master, I just know that no one in your palace is here at the moment, if I wait for your princess to come back, how can I have a chance to ask for someone, but he sneered on his face:
"Joke, she said I molested her, and I molested her? Who can testify? But she beat people, but many people saw it, and the guards behind me can testify that this son is the son of Prince Gong, and how can he be so humiliated as a cousin of today's son. People must be handed over today. Otherwise, I'll go into the house and rob someone. ”
The housekeeper's face was ugly, and he said coldly:
"This is the Zhennan Palace, I think who dares to make a time here, is there no royal law?"
The young man laughed very arrogantly, and at the same time said lazily:
"What's wrong with Zhennan Wangfu, I'm still the son of Prince Gong, you know, my father is his second brother, counting, that's also my third uncle, you are just a little housekeeper, and you dare to go against me." If you want this son to let go of this matter, you can, let the master of the house say, this son will naturally give this face, your words, you are not worthy! ”
The old butler's face was gloomy, and he almost gritted his teeth and said:
"Why does His Royal Highness ask knowingly, now that my prince has gone to the south and has not returned, and the princess is not away, why do you come to the master to say that you are deliberately making things difficult."
The young man played with the taste:
"Then I can't take care of it, since the master is not here, I am also half a master, get out of the way, don't hinder this son from taking people."
As soon as he said that, the guards behind him stepped forward with knives, and the guards standing in the old butler also drew their swords against each other, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, and at this moment, a crisp voice came from behind the door.
"Stop!"
Immediately afterwards, a young woman wearing a light yellow floral skirt and a graceful figure walked out of the house, the woman's face was delicate, a pair of eyes like peach blossoms, but at the moment with a trace of coldness and unwillingness, she walked to the old housekeeper with a gentle lotus step, seeing this woman, the old housekeeper's face changed slightly, and he was a little anxious, but the young man was with evil light in his eyes and a look of excitement.
And Lin Xiuyuan, who was in the distance, saw this delicate woman appear, and the seven-point exquisite heart that was always as calm as water couldn't help but beat rapidly, and scenes from childhood instantly appeared in front of him.
"Your Royal Highness, why did you come here alone again?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince can help Jin'er pick up fallen leaves, it's really amazing, if anyone dares to say that His Royal Highness the Prince is stupid in the future, Jin'er will be the first to let him go."
The bits and pieces of the year are like just yesterday, the corners of Lin Xiuyuan's mouth brought a gentle smile that he had never had, it was Sister Jin'er, even in the past ten years, he could recognize it at a glance, that woman was Jin'er who had grown up with him since childhood, at this moment, Lin Xiuyuan's heart was no longer calm.
On the side of the palace, Jin'er looked at the old housekeeper who wanted to speak and stopped, shook her head slightly, and then stared coldly at the disgusting young man, and said coldly:
"I'll go with you!"
The old housekeeper suddenly became anxious, but was pulled by Jin'er and said softly:
"Now that there is no one at home, if you continue to let him make trouble, you will only lose the face of my Zhennan Palace, the face of the prince and the princess."
The young man looked impatient, and said with some excitement:
"Very good, even if you know each other, come here, arrest this girl for this son and take it away."
As he spoke, a group of guards behind him were about to rush forward, and the other party's actions finally made Lin Xiuyuan, who was standing in the distance, squint slightly, and there was a cold glow, he basically knew the ins and outs of the matter, and he knew that it was time to end this farce.
The next moment, he stepped out, and the whole person disappeared in place in an instant, and all the guards who had just rushed to Jin'er were all blown out by a sudden strong wind at this moment, slamming on the walls on both sides of the street, rolling to the ground, and letting out a wailing sound.
Jin'er stood in place a little dazed, not even knowing what was going on, why those people suddenly flew out, and the rest of the people in the field were also very surprised, and then found that there was one more person in the field, but it was a young man wearing a cloth coat and carrying a long knife, just standing in front of Jin'er, not a tall body, but like a mountain.
The young man was obviously frightened by this sudden scene, and under the protection of the two personal guards, he hurriedly retreated a few meters before hurriedly looking into the field, and when he saw the sudden young man, he was slightly stunned at first, and then subconsciously scolded:
"Where did the guy come from, he dared to do something to the people of this world, is he tired of being crooked?"
Lin Xiuyuan looked at this plain-looking, but disgusting young man with a cold gaze, and said coldly:
"Aren't you looking for your master? I'm the master of this! ”
