Chapter 230: The saber rattling at the palace gate

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Outside the Royal Palace.

A carriage slowly stopped, and the officials who were lining up to enter the palace one after another stopped, turned around and saluted the carriage, and bent down to wait.

Just because there was a conspicuous flag standing on that carriage, with the word "Wuji" written on it!

As the door opened, Li Wuji slowly walked out of the carriage.

"I've seen Master Hou!"

Immediately afterwards, the civil and military officials present greeted one after another and spoke in unison.

This scene has never appeared in the capital, and it is only the empress and Taiqing who will have such treatment.

"Hello everyone."

He returned the salute and said to everyone with a smile.

As he stepped out of the carriage, the ministers stepped forward one after another, greeting each other with a smile on their faces, almost blocking the entrance of the palace, and the originally orderly order was also a little chaotic.

Commander Yan Yuwei was personally on duty at the palace gate today, and when he saw that Li Wuji was treated like a moon by the stars, his face was gloomy, and he tightly grasped the saber on his waist.

Cheng Zifeng's death, he has not let go of it so far.

"Master Hou, please accept the bow!"

At this moment, a person walked out of the crowd and knelt directly in front of Li Wuji, which startled the surrounding ministers.

In this capital, only the empress and the princess can enjoy the bowing ceremony!

It is the head of the household, Zhu Wenqing!

"Zhu Shangshu, are you going to fold my birthday? You are one of the six principals, how can you make such a big gift to me?! ”

"Hurry up, please!"

Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stepped forward, and directly helped Zhu Wenqing up.

Because of the internal force in his hands, even if Zhu Wenqing resisted, he was instantly helped up.

"Master Hou, the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, if it weren't for Lord Hou to easily eradicate the remnants of Ning Guo, Xia Guan still doesn't know if he will have the opportunity to come to this year's dinner again."

"Therefore, it is natural to make this great gift!"

Zhu Wenqing looked at Li Wuji with a grateful face, and said with emotion.

"Zhu Shangshu is serious, eradicating the rebel party is the responsibility of Jin Longwei, Zhu Shangshu wants to thank you, you should thank Your Majesty."

Li Wuji smiled and waved his hand, and said seriously.

But he was thinking in his heart, old boy, this is trying to kill Lao Tzu!

With so many people watching, this old boy actually knelt down and bowed directly, in case it reached the ears of the empress, maybe what he would think of him.

"Your Majesty's grace is like a mountain, and the lower officials dare not forget it, but the kindness of the Hou Ye, the lower officials are also grateful, and he will repay it one day."

Zhu Wenqing nodded, bowed in the direction of Miyagi, and said loudly.

"Okay, okay, Ben Hou wrote it down."

"It's not early, don't delay, your lords, hurry up and enter the palace, otherwise Your Majesty will be in a hurry!"

Li Wuji agreed with a smile, waved his hand, and motioned to the ministers present to hurry into the palace.

The ministers agreed, saluted, and then turned around and continued to walk towards the palace.

Seeing that the crowd finally dispersed, Li Wuji shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, took a package from Lu Yuan's hand, and then glanced at Lu Yuan, then turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

"Master Hou?!"

At this time, another person walked out of the crowd and slowly came to the front of Li Wuji, with a flattering smile, it was Luo Ping, the commander of the Du Ying Guard.

Because of the large number of people just now, he was embarrassed to step forward, but at this time, he saw that there was no one around Li Wuji, so he came up.

"Lord Luo."

Li Wuji smiled and said hello.

"For the things in the palace this morning, I haven't thanked the Hou Ye yet, please accept the humble position!"

Luo Ping looked at Li Wuji gratefully and said a word, and directly prepared to kneel and salute.

Why again?!

"You want me to die?!"

Li Wuji's eyes were quick, and while helping Luo Ping up, he said with a little dissatisfaction.

Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, showing an embarrassed expression.

"I'm a first-class military marquis, and two people have already knelt down to salute me for a while, isn't it out of order?!"

"If you want to die, find a place to bury yourself, don't bother me!"

Li Wuji glared at Luo Ping, lowered his voice and said.

"It's a humble job that is not well considered, and I ask Lord Hou to forgive me."

"But if it weren't for Master Hou to speak for me today, I'm afraid I would end up with Leng Yue, this kindness is unforgettable!"

Luo Ping smiled bitterly, and then said categorically, his eyebrows were full of gratitude and awe.

"Between friends, you don't have to see each other like this, it's just a word."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said seriously.

"Eh, I understand!"

"Master Hou, please!"

Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile, and respectfully invited Li Wuji to go along.

Li Wuji smiled, held the package in his arms, and walked straight inside.

But when the two of them just walked to the door, they were stopped by Yan Yuwei, who was guarding the palace, according to the custom, everyone entering the palace needs to be checked, especially on a day like today.

"Why are you so ignorant? Why did even Hou Ye dare to stop him?! ”

Luo Ping frowned, and said in a deep voice dissatisfied to Yan Yuwei who was blocking the road, with a reproachful face.

"Lord Luo, this is a rule, no matter who you have to abide by!"

"Master Hou, please don't be difficult for us."

That Yan Yuwei bowed to Luo Ping and Li Wuji, and said apologetically, not planning to give way.

"It's okay to search my body, but no one can touch this package, otherwise you will die."

Li Wuji smiled, pointed to the package in his arms, and said helplessly.

"Master Hou, humble and cowardly, don't scare me."

"According to the rules, anyone who wants to enter the palace, whether it is a person or a thing, must be carefully investigated, otherwise the Hou Ye will not be able to enter."

The Yan Yuwei shook his head in embarrassment, refusing to budge in the slightest.

"Shall I go?"

"Do you know that if I leave, you have to kneel to the Hou Mansion and beg me to enter the palace?!"

Li Wuji smiled, made a posture of preparing to turn away, and said with a smile, but a trace of majesty was gradually revealed in his smile.

"If the Hou Ye doesn't let the check, if you leave, I want to see who will go to the Hou Mansion to kneel and beg you to enter the palace again!"

At this moment, a stiff voice sounded, and Lan Zhan, the Great Commander of Yan Yuwei, walked straight over, with a hint of obvious sneer on his face.

"Grand Commander."

When Yan Yuwei saw Lan Zhan appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted.

Lan Zhan waved his hand, signaled his subordinates to step back, and personally blocked in front of Li Wuji.

"Do you have to check?"

Li Wuji pursed his lips and sneered, staring at Lan Zhan and asked.

"I have to check it!"

Lan Zhan nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice, without the slightest intention of backing down.

"Even if you let Yan Yuwei accompany you to the funeral, you have to check?!"

Li Wuji asked coldly, the smile on his face had gradually dissipated.

"Master Hou's words are sensational, right? Just checking a package, how serious can it be? ”

"Or is it that Master Hou takes himself too seriously?"

Lan Zhan sneered and said disdainfully.

"Commander Lan's indignant appearance is really cute, and he has a bit of Cheng Zifeng's momentum on his body."

Li Wuji glanced Lan Zhan up and down, and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Lan Zhan's face instantly became gloomy, and he involuntarily held the big knife on his waist!

The Yan Yuwei behind him also changed their faces, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands, and they were about to make a move.

"Commander Lan, Master Hou, we have something to say, why be angry?"

"Isn't it just routine? Is it necessary to break up on an unhappy note? ”

Seeing this, Luo Ping hurriedly comforted both sides with a smiling face.

"Lord Luo, today's incident is obviously his provocation first."

"Ben Hou said, no one can touch this package, whoever touches it will die!"

Li Wuji looked at Lan Zhan coldly and said in a deep voice.

Hearing the words that left no room for Wuji, Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and didn't dare to interject again.

"Then try!"

Lan Zhan didn't back down and said coldly.

"What's the matter? It's so tense? ”

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, a slightly playful voice sounded, and King Lin Liyuan slowly walked in from outside the palace, poked his hands in his sleeves, and staggered to the front.

"Lord Wang."

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment, then turned around and bowed to Li Yuan.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Lin!"

Lan Zhan and Luo Ping were stunned for a moment, and they all saluted respectfully to Liyuan.

Originally, Liyuan did not participate in such occasions on weekdays, except for the New Year's Festival.

"Well, what's going on? It's so tense, so many people are watching, what is it like? ”

Li Yuan replied casually, glanced at Li Wuji and Lan Zhan, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

After listening to Liyuan's words, Lan Zhan and Luo Ping turned their heads and glanced at them, and found that there were indeed many ministers of the DPRK and China around them, and they couldn't help frowning...
