Chapter 39: Entering the Palace
Chapter 39: Entering Miyagi
In the early morning of November 28, Tianhuo got up early, took a bath with gardenia water, changed into a moon-white Confucian shirt, and asked Wanfeng's maid to help him comb his hair into a bun, and put a white jade bundle on the bun and inserted a white jade hairpin.
After cleaning up, Tianhuo got up and took a turn in the house, looking particularly dashing, and the eyes of Wanfeng, Gray Kite, Qingniu and the maid who looked straight at it were full of colorful ripples, and they praised it repeatedly.
Wanfeng struggled to get up for some reason today, and came to Tianhuo's room unkempt without washing, he had to admit that the Tianhuo brothers' appearance was indeed better than his own, and he looked very eye-catching, but this outfit was a bit plain, and he always felt that something was missing.
Wanfeng frowned and thought for a moment, then instructed the maid: "Go to my house and bring my best jade belt and jade pendant, by the way, and the Japanese wind gold fan that I bought from the Japanese merchants." ”
The maid quickly brought the jade belt, jade pendant and fan, and Wanfeng personally put on a white silk inlaid jade belt and jade pendant for Tianhuo, and stuffed the fan into Tianhuo's hand.
This belt is also inlaid with mutton fat white jade, which corresponds to the hair and hairpins of Tianhuo, and the jade pendant is carved from jade stone with green jade, with red silk to set off a white plain Tianhuo, which makes him look a lot more lively.
Tianhuo unfolded the fan in his hand with a bang, and the golden and red fan set off the flawless face of Tianhuo and white jade, which made everyone's eyes shine.
After Tianhuo put away the fan after two postures, shook his head and smiled: "Brother Wanfeng, my dress is a little too much, I am very suspected of being pretentious, how bad it is in case the noise takes over the master." ”
Wan Feng laughed and said: "Xiaotian, you are going to see a prince today, it's not okay not to dress up outstanding, this nineteenth prince heard that it is not so easy to serve, if you can get his trust and support, your future in the future is limitless." ”
Tianhuo asked curiously: "Brother, you knew a few days ago that I was going to see the Nineteenth Prince, and I didn't hear you talk about the Nineteenth Prince, how can you comment on the Nineteenth Prince today?"
Wanfeng took out a stack of manuscript paper from his arms, about twenty or thirty pages, and handed it to Tianhuo and said, "Before I met you, I didn't have much interest in the princes in the palace, and I don't know who they are.
I heard that you have to deal with them, so I asked someone to inquire, and only gave me the things last night, and I stayed up half the night to roughly figure out what these princes are, no, they are not things!
This information must be of some use to you, the content is not guaranteed to be absolutely accurate, and you know that few people I know are reliable, but they have many sources, you can take a selective look. ”
Through these days' contact, Tianhuo found that Wanfeng was not so stupid as he seemed on the surface, but he was relatively lazy, too lazy to care about things that he was not interested in, and he was still extremely smart.
On weekdays, Wanfeng doesn't even bother to look at his own accounts, but now he will go to find these materials for himself, which makes Tianhuo very moved.
Tianhuo stepped forward and grabbed Wanfeng's hand and said, "Brother, you are so good to me, brother, I don't know how to thank you!"
Wanfeng shook off Tianhuo's hand in disgust and said: "Don't disgust me, I haven't seen you say thank you for eating and living in my house for nothing." I'm not used to being so sensational!
The nineteenth prince has a greedy personality, but he is also relatively short-term, and his subordinates who really agree with him are still promising, and in the future, brother, you will be developed, remember to bring us to the family even if you return it.
Okay, it's not too early, you go to Miyagi, I've got the carriage ready for you. ”
Tianhuo patted Wanfeng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are waiting for my good news at home." ”
The gray kite and the green cow followed Tianhuo out of the room, and Tianhuo turned around and said, "You two don't have to go with me, there are many masters in the palace, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”
Wanfeng also walked out: "Xiaotian, bring them with you! I have seen your waist card, you can bring four entourages into the palace, the people living in the palace are some high-class people, and they attach great importance to pomp and circumstance, if you bring fewer people, they will think that you have no strength to look down on you, and you still have to act according to the rules of the capital when you come to the capital." ”
The three of Tianhuo got into the carriage, and the coachman was the coachman of the Wanfeng family, who was very familiar with Jinling City, so he sent the three of Tianhuo to Miyagi.
Wanfeng stood at the back door of his house and watched the carriage turn around the corner, yawning, and preparing to go back to catch up on sleep.
The maid helped Wanfeng to walk back, and asked softly, "Young Master, why are you so good to Young Master Tianhuo?" Someone in the mansion privately said that Young Master Tianhuo is the illegitimate son of the master. ”
Wan Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I wish he was my cheap brother, but unfortunately not! My brother will definitely become a big man in the future, and I will definitely benefit immensely from having a good relationship with him now."
I don't know when my father and my mother will be able to return to their hometown and province, and there are still many important things to discuss with them. ”
Wanfeng was obviously talking to himself in the second half of the sentence, the maid was very well-behaved, and did not answer to interrupt the young master's train of thought, and quietly helped Wanfeng back to the room.
......
The exterior decoration of Wanjia's carriage is magnificent, and the internal space is very spacious and comfortable.
Tianhuo didn't speak, sat on the thick cushion in the carriage and looked at the information Wanfeng gave him seriously, these materials have a lot of content, involving various princes, but mainly the nineteen princes, mixed but not messy, it seems that Wanfeng was given after being sorted out by the masters.
The information about the resume, personality, strength and important people in the palace of the Nineteen Princes is much more detailed than that of Tianhuo, and there are even some examples and analysis of the Nineteen Princes' acting style, all of which are concise and to the point, making the image of the Nineteen Princes more three-dimensional.
Soon Tianhuo finished reading these materials, he put the information into the Qiankun bag, closed his eyes and thought about it, it seems that he had underestimated Wanfeng before, this young man is far from being as simple as it seems.
The gray kite and the green cow didn't speak, just now they saw Tianhuo studying the data, and the two of them cultivated cross-legged, and the trip to the palace city of the Song Kingdom still caused some psychological pressure on them.
Wanjia's carriage walked for almost half an hour, and finally came to the east gate of the palace, the inventory here is obviously much stricter, in addition to the normal palace guard inspection, there are also four Taoist youths will hold magic weapons to inspect the carriage and horses, obviously to prevent unknown monks or magic weapons from mixing or bringing into the palace.
Tianhuo jumped out of the car, handed over the waist card, and hid a folded fifty taels of silver tickets under the waist card, and the team that came up to survey the waist card was taking the waist card, and handed the silver ticket back to Tianhuo, without looking at the face value of the silver ticket.
Tianhuo said secretly: "The palace guards of Jinling City are really well-trained, and their faces have not changed in the face of money, and they are worthy of being the elite division of a country, and it seems that the core combat power of the Song Kingdom has not been eroded too much." ”
The palace guards are carefully checking the waist card and number of Tianhuo, and there is a famous pen next to it to record in the book, what year, month, day, and four people entered the palace with the number of the waist card of the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, and the person who checked it was so-and-so.
With such a detailed record, once there is any problem in Miyagi, it will be easier to trace, the team is looking at the pen to finish the record, the Taoist priest on the opposite side indicates that there are no prohibited items in the car, and the team is only then handing the waist card back to Tianhuo.
The team is instructing in a low voice: "The palace is heavy, no noise, no galloping, your waist card is only one day old, you must go out of the palace before three o'clock, otherwise you will be arrested by the palace guards, okay, go in." ”
Tianhuo only knew that there were so many rules in the palace, and he also knew that the waist card in his hand was only a one-time thing, and it was estimated that he would be confiscated when he left the city, and it was estimated that the nineteenth prince didn't want to see him for the second time.
Tianhuo got into the car again, this time the speed slowed down significantly, and the groom controlled the horse to move forward at the speed of a human walk, and Tianhuo knew that there were big rules in Miyagi, and it was not easy to urge him to go quickly.
As soon as he passed through the walls of the palace city, an invisible coercion seemed to penetrate from heaven and earth, and Tianhuo immediately felt that the speed of his true yuan power had slowed down, and his cultivation had been suppressed to the usual level of fifty percent.
Tianhuo looked at the gray kite and the green cow with some horror, the two of them were also frightened, and Tianhuo said in a deep voice: "Emperor Song is really generous, the area of the palace city is so large, he actually set up such a powerful suppression formation, I only have fifty percent of my usual cultivation at most." ”
The gray kite and the green ox looked at each other and said in unison: "We only have forty percent of our cultivation left." ”
Tianhuo closed his eyes and analyzed the power of the suppression formation: "Don't worry, this formation may suppress the monks with higher realms more ruthlessly, but it has no effect on mortals, and our horsemen can't feel the existence of the formation at all." ”
The gray kite nodded and said, "It is estimated that monks above the god transformation stage can have at most two percent of their cultivation left here." ”
Tianhuo said: "Without the means to resist high-level monks, it is impossible for the dynasties of all countries to inherit for so many years, it is estimated that the suppression methods in the imperial city are even more domineering, there is no way, we can only bear it, and we will adapt to it in a while." ”
The gray kite and the green ox crossed their knees and breathed according to their words, striving to adapt themselves to the suppression formation as soon as possible and reduce the discomfort on their bodies.
Tianhuo didn't go to pranayama, and after his "keep" formula was activated, he quickly offset the suppression of the formation and resumed his normal cultivation, but his cultivation in the foundation building period was not enough to see in the palace at all, so there was no need to be too nervous.
Tianhuo opened the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked at the palace city of the Great Song Kingdom.
The streets are neater and wider than the inner city, and a special royal road paved with dark grain bricks separates the street in half, ordinary carriages and horses can only pass through both sides of the road, and the middle royal road is used by the royal family, except that it is bumpy than the general road, Tianhuo can't think of the role of this royal road.
The mansions on both sides are very large in scale, and the external shape is also very simple, and they are all buildings that conform to the regulations of the imperial court, except for the plaque on the gate, there is hardly much difference.
Tianhuo They walked on the main street of Miyagi, there were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the street, and the servants in Miyagi generally took the back door and side door paths, and did not dare to walk on the main street, only those who were approved to enter Miyagi to do business would walk on the main street, to show that they had no ill intentions.
Tianhuo looked at Miyagi for a while and felt very bored, his eyes were full of monotony and coldness, I really don't know if the people who live in Miyagi will be bored, in order to show the dignity of his identity, he can only stay away from the lively and prosperous places, and he really doesn't know how to calculate the gains and losses.
