The pit of the bald donkey

After Shangguan Yi went back, he told the two of them about it, so that they could be mentally prepared.

"Oh, that means we're going to part ways with Lord Jun tomorrow and go our separate ways?" concluded the little monk.

"Well, after all, if you don't have anything to do with the royal family, it's better not to have anything to do with them, no matter which country's royal family. Shangguan Yi said with deep meaning, and he was also mentioning some flowers to want to be with the little monk.

The emperor is ruthless, so is the royal family, if you are involved, no one can imagine what will happen in the future, the last moment you talk and laugh, and the next moment you go to prison are common, too complicated, too dirty, too terrible, and too difficult for Hua Xiangrong and the little monk to deal with.

The little monk nodded and said, "Oh, where are we going to deliver the letter?"

After hearing this, Shangguan Yi felt as if he had been tortured from the soul, his face became solemn, and he said, "I don't know." ”

"Hmm, I don't know...... What do you mean?" the little monk was a little confused.

"There is a little light on the Wanghai Pavilion, this is the message given in the letter, as for what it means, we can only find out by ourselves. Shangguan Yi spread out his hand, Huichen, the old bald donkey, still has to pit him before leaving, it's too ruthless!

"Well, this ...... It's a little difficult, after all, we are outsiders, looking for a place, and we are looking for such a strange place, and if we find it, we may have to find a way to solve the puzzle and find the next step, and it will be a headache to think about it. Hua Xiangrong said with a little annoyance.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, just go around Kyoto and see it for a long time, and if you can't do it, you can ask someone else to help. Shangguan Yi comforted her, although his expression looked solemn, but in fact, he pretended to be, the purpose was to give the little monk a little illusion and a little pressure, so that he could think about the answer to this question.

"This problem, as long as you find Wanghai Pavilion, you can probably solve it, right?" the little monk speculated, this was also the first thought of most people when they heard this question.

"Who knows, just go there and see. "Shangguan Yi doesn't think it's that simple, almost everything the old guy Huichen does has an extra meaning, and sending a letter is naturally no exception, let alone his handwritten letter.

"Well, I have to take one step at a time. Hua Xiangrong nodded, and didn't say anything more, there really was no better way.

......

The next morning, their group finally arrived outside the gate of Kyoto in the East China Sea, and Shangguan Yi's carriage was also driven by the coachman to another gate, because it was still some distance from the city gate, so his team quietly separated a carriage and did not attract much attention.

Because the news was sent back in advance, when Jun Yishen and them arrived at the city gate, there were already officials waiting, and the purpose was naturally to lead them to the imperial city to face the saint. Of course, it may not be "them", but "he".

"Your Excellency, the emperor asked you to see him as soon as you come back. The eunuch bowed respectfully and said to the carriage in front of him. Outsiders don't know Jun Yishen's car, can he still know it?

"The prince is polite, is the emperor okay?" Jun Yishen looked at the prince who was respectful and saluted a little helplessly, this person is the same as him is the emperor's cronies, the most trustworthy group, from the incident to the present, he has not had two hearts, and even followed the emperor earlier than him, whether it is seniority, seniority, or current status, there is no need to bow to him, or rather, it is inappropriate to bow his head, but he has been correcting and has not seen him change.

"The emperor heard the news that Lord Jun had an accident in Jiangnan City, and he was in a hurry, and he was relieved to receive your letter of peace, but he urged you to come back, and you ... Therefore, you should not be very happy, but you should be careful when you speak for a while, and don't make the emperor angry again. The prince approached the carriage and whispered these secrets, mentioning Jun Yishen.

"Well, I never thought of the emperor... I'm so worried about me, I obviously reported my trip to the Great Light Temple before. Jun Yishen frowned, if the emperor is not happy, the next thing will not be very easy.

"Nana, don't be presumptuous, you are in the emperor's heart, it is a flesh-like existence, you take risks regardless of your own safety, and it is normal for the emperor to worry. The prince said more and more quietly, full of sincerity.

Jun Yishen smiled, just thinking that the prince was telling a joke, how could such a cold-hearted person as the emperor have any heart. It's just that for the emperor, the use value of his Jun Yishen is relatively high, and it is irreplaceable. However, he is not disgusted by this, as long as he guarantees that he has such value and status, his relationship with the emperor will not change, clear and clear.

"Did the emperor say that he only saw me?" Jun Yishen changed the subject, considering whether to bring Yue Zhengdao with him.

Seeing this reaction, the prince sighed secretly, what he said was the truth, and others would also believe it as the truth, but the person who should believe it the most took it as a joke, so that it was meaningless for others to believe it anymore. However, the sighing prince did not continue the topic just now, but answered Jun Yishen's question with a knowing face: "The emperor didn't say it, why don't you go together, you go in and face the saint, and let them wait outside." ”

"Okay, let's go, the prince gets in the car and goes together?" Jun Yishen nodded, it was nothing more than a few solutions, and none of the princes gave him expected.

"No, no, I have to hurry into the palace to reply to the emperor, and prepare a banquet for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, there are a lot of things, then we will see you later." "How could the prince get into the palace with Jun Yishen in the carriage? He is the emperor's eyes, and he must return to the emperor to report some information before Jun Yishen enters the palace.

The prince said that he left after saying that, and no one dared to stop him from entering and leaving the city gate, not to mention that he came to wait early in the morning and educated the soldiers guarding the gate, so those soldiers didn't even stop the convoy with Jun Yishen, and let him go directly.

Shangguan Yi on the other side of them did not go so smoothly, Jun Yishen's return to Beijing is actually a big thing, and every time there is a major event, the tightest nerves are these people guarding the city gate, who work hard every day to guard the door, facing all kinds of people, but also to find suspicious people from inside, and what is more troublesome is to open the back door for some bigwigs, and to ensure that the back door is not a big problem...... That is to say, when releasing them, they should try to make sure that the people they let go of are not suspicious, otherwise something will happen, and they will definitely not be able to escape their responsibility.

In this way, there is a problem, and it is not small.

The soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the token handed over by Shangguan Yi, and did not let it go, but whispered a few words to his companions, and the more he spoke, the more questioning his face became. Finally he came and asked, "Didn't you enter the city through another gate, and why did you go here?"

Shangguan Yi could also guess that he was suspicious from his previous performance, and if he didn't answer well today, he was afraid that he would have to wait for Jun Yishen to go to prison to catch him.

"My lord ordered something else, let us enter the city through this city gate, so I took his token and walked here, this official, it is convenient. Shangguan Yi explained, the reason is reasonable, but it is actually very perfunctory.

"Ha, I think you're a thief who stole your adult's tokens! What other urgent matter do you have to deal with in Kyoto like this? What's more, I don't look like you're from the East China Sea at all, and you're a spy sent by a foreign country, right? Come on, arrest me, it's not too late to go to prison if there's anything to do. The soldier shouted with the mentality of preferring to kill the wrong person than let go, and this shout, the attention of the entire people near the city gate was attracted, and the focus was on Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi secretly sighed that it was not good, his disguise was suitable for Zhongzhen, but there were some contradictions in the East China Sea, these soldiers' eyesight was good, but fortunately, he chose to hug Jun Yishen's thighs before, although he ...... Now they have to be caught if they hug their thighs, but they don't dare to go too far.

"That's enough, let your chief come over. The coachman couldn't take it anymore, took out a token and shook it in front of them, and said.

"That token seems to be the token of the Imperial City Guards, right? But didn't they all stay in the Imperial City and not come out? Could it be that they were also stolen?" said a weak voice in the crowd, which also aroused the imagination of the others in this regard, but they cut it off fiercely after thinking about it halfway.

"What do you say, the tokens of each guard are very strictly controlled, and if you want to steal a token, you will not be wanted, and it will be difficult to enter the blue sky! Although they are guarding the imperial city on the surface, don't forget, the emperor gave several teams of guards to protect Lord Jun Yishen with a wave of his hand, could it be that this is one of them? Who is in the car? Lord Jun doesn't want to go through this city gate......" The other person retorted to him, just as he spoke, his voice weakened, and he felt very unbelievable, this matter was indeed a little strange.

"What's the situation?" asked the soldier's commander, the temporary head of the place, who was naturally alarmed by the movement here.

"These are the distinguished guests of Lord Jun, and they are tokens given by Lord Jun, because of a little special reason, so they can't go through the same city gate, so it's convenient to be troublesome. The coachman walked up to him and whispered to him.

The commander looked at Shangguan Yi, then at the token in the soldier's hand, then at the coachman and his Praetorian Guard, but did not speak. His own soldiers knew that if they didn't have anything suspicious, they would never dare to stop them, but now that they not only stopped, but also kicked on the iron bucket, he was also very embarrassed now, and he didn't know who to believe. After all, the tokens on Shangguanyi's side seem to be real, or they are real, but people ...... Not very credible.

"You come with me. The coachman said this to the chief, and then said to Shangguan Yi, "Sir, wait a while, don't be angry." He walked to a guard point near the city gate, where some weapons were placed or something, which was a temporary resting place for the soldiers guarding the city.

The chief didn't hesitate, in broad daylight, this person didn't dare to do anything to him, maybe he wanted to show him more convincing and more secretive evidence, right?

As he had guessed, after the coachman entered the room with him, the coachman rolled up his sleeves and showed him a tattoo, a pattern describing the blue sea and the blue sky and the bright moon, and its name was the moon shining on the East China Sea, and it was named after the sword of the Son of Heaven.

After the chief saw this pattern, the whole person was stunned, such a pattern is a proof of glory, only the most special group of guards in the court can have, which means that they are the best of the guards, and even have made great contributions, such people are also called Donghai Wei, people who guard the East China Sea.

With such proof of glory, what its owner said would naturally not be false, nor would it endanger the East China Sea, that is, the guy who really looked like a foreigner was indeed a distinguished guest of Lord Jun, and the token was indeed given to him by Lord Jun in order to make it easier for him to move in the East China Sea.

"Whew, I see. The chief smiled bitterly, this matter is completely messed up, whether these people want to investigate it or not, Lord Jun will not let go of this matter easily, after all, it is too slap in the face.

The coachman lowered his sleeves and walked out of the room first, and he was going to continue driving.

The chief followed him out and said, "Let me go." "There is a weak look, and a discerning person can know what is going on at a glance.

"What's the origin of this person, he is really a distinguished guest of Lord Jun, tsk, into the eyes of Lord Jun, could it be that he is the new favorite of officialdom?"

"My lord, let's go. After the coachman followed Guan Yi for instructions, he got into the carriage, and when Shang Guan Yi also got into the carriage, he said, "Okay." "Before they began to drive on, they had already directed a road clear enough for the carriage to pass.

"What did you tell him?" Shangguan Yi opened the door after walking for a while, cautiously jumped out, and sat next to the coachman.

"I'm just telling him that I have another layer of identity. The coachman said neither humbly nor arrogantly, if he didn't encounter trouble, he wouldn't show his head at all, but if he encountered trouble, it would depend on the situation, and a situation like this to arrest Shangguan Yi would never happen, this was Jun Yishen's request to him.

"In addition to the coachman, another layer of identity besides the Imperial City Guard?" Shangguan Yi smiled slightly and continued to probe.

"Hmm. The coachman continued to be neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he talk much, revealing information.

"Do you know Bihai Pavilion?" Shangguan Yi didn't care about his attitude, if the imperial city guards who were sent by the Emperor of the East China Sea to protect Jun Yishen were so easy for him to get out the key information, he could only say that they were too watery, and now this is normal.

"The blue sea, the blue sky, and the bright moon have a unique meaning to the people of the East China Sea, so when people choose their names...... Especially the former, the name in Kyoto is related to Bihai Pavilion, I know that there are no less than ten, I don't know which one Mr. is asking?" The coachman said this in the same tone, making Shangguan Yi instantly stunned, Huichen old bald donkey is really a big pit goods!
