After Jiang Yingcun took the box, he put it in Chi Zhongtian's hand.

Chi Zhongtian took a look at it quietly, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, because this box was made of ash wood, with beautiful patterns carved on it, and it was also very valuable just looking at this box.

"Oh, Lord Jiang is too polite. Chi Zhongtian said with a smile, his ass never left the chair at all.

"General Chi, you have to take it. Jiang Yingcun said.

"Accept it, Master Jiang will send it, you must accept it!" Chi Zhongtian said, and pushed the box inside with his hand, which meant that he accepted it.

Seeing Chi Zhongtian accept it, Jiang Yingcun smiled, and smiled very sincerely.

Then, after a brief chat, Jiang Yingcun also left.

This night, Chi Zhongtian slept very early, because the next morning, he had to go to the palace for the morning pilgrimage.

Early the next morning, the palace sent someone to deliver a message, asking Chi Zhongtian to go to the palace immediately.

Chi Zhongtian changed into the general's official uniform, and after carefully tidying up, he rushed to the palace in a carriage.

After arriving, Chi Zhongtian didn't see a few acquaintances, but he found that there were already a lot of carriages and sedan chairs piled up outside the imperial city, and it seemed that there were quite a few people who came to the early dynasty today.

While waiting outside the main hall, Chi Zhongtian saw King Zun, King De, and Yongmen Zhen them, so he went over to say hello one by one.

"General Chi, you have made a great contribution!" said Yongmen Zhen with a smile.

As soon as he said this, several officials standing around him also took the opportunity to come over and talk to him for a few words, and all kinds of flattering words came to his face for a while, which made Chi Zhongtian very unaccustomed.

Fortunately, when Chi Zhongtian was already impatient, there was a will for the ministers to come to him.

In order, Chi Zhongtian stood in the third position of the general's column.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves to be flat. ”

"Emperor Xie!"

After standing up, the emperor first asked the king to be given a throne, and then said, "Decree." ”

Generally speaking, if the emperor has arranged things in advance, he will read them out before he starts to discuss politics.

At this time, the chief steward beside the emperor stood a step forward with the holy decree in his hand, opened it and shouted.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Shenwu Dragon Yangwei General Chi Zhongtian in the trip to southern Xinjiang, bravely killed the enemy, courageous, accompanied by the guards to do their best, with 5,000 taels of gold, 800 horses of silk, admiration!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Generally speaking, there are not many people who let the emperor reward him in front of the civil and military officials.

This glory is not available to everyone, and in terms of rewards alone, there are many things.

"I have already arranged a celebration banquet, and tomorrow, all of you Aiqing will also come. ”

"Obey the order!"

"Well, we were happy about it, and now we're going to have to talk about something upset. ”

"Message! King Xuanqing is here!"

Suddenly, the emperor gave a loud shout, startling everyone.

"Ahh

The king, who was originally sitting on a chair, stood up from his chair as if he had seen a ghost.

Soon, a few people walked in from the outside, and Chi Zhongtian turned his head to see that it was King Qing.

It's just that he is now being grabbed left and right by several Praetorian Guards, and it seems that he has suffered.

Isn't that right, wasn't King Qing killed by the Assassins?

After Chi Zhongtian saw it, weishenme didn't have any surprised expression?

As for the king, he is now completely stupid.

"King Qing was ordered to go to Lijiang City to defend against the enemy, he was not familiar with military affairs, he did not want to forge ahead, so that he delayed the warplane, and what is even more infuriating is that he was captured by thieves, such a humiliating thing, I will never allow it!

The emperor shouted angrily, and King Qing immediately knelt down.

Chi Zhongtian saw that King Qing's face was pale, and he seemed to know his fate.

"From now on, strip the prince and all the provisions, seal up the palace, stay in the palace temporarily, and obey the fate!"

After the emperor finished speaking in one breath, the ministers were pale when they heard it.

No one expected that as soon as Qing ** was rescued, he would end up like this.

King Qing was captured by thieves, and went to Chi Zhongtian and King Zun to save people, and now, in fact, there are not many ministers in the court who know the details, most of them are just hearsay.

Therefore, many people were very surprised when they saw King Qing, but after listening to the holy decree, they were not relieved.

"Son's order is grateful!"

"Take it out!"

"Yes!"

After taking King Qing out, the emperor continued: "This matter must not be spread to the outside world, let alone known to the people and neighboring countries, if it is leaked, no matter who it is, punish the nine clans!"

"Command!"

At this time, the emperor's mood was definitely not good, so none of these ministers dared to speak up.

"Recently, the territory of my Celestial Empire has been invaded by foreign thieves, especially the land of southern Xinjiang, and the city was taken away by thieves, if it wasn't for General Chi risking his life to rob it, then, ten cities, all fell into the hands of the enemy, the ancestors of the emperor should also know that those who lose an inch of land are not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb, I think, you Aiqing is going to let me be a faint king!"

"Death to the minister!"

The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted.

"The lost city will be recaptured sooner or later, and you Aiqing must also be prepared. ”

Next, what the emperor said was just some gossip, and not long after, he retired from the court.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Chi Zhongtian was stopped by King Zun.

"Jomtien!"

Chi Zhongtian originally wanted to chat with Yongmen Zhen for a few words, but when he saw King Zun calling him, he stopped.

"Lord Wang!"

"What the hell is this!

"Why did the prince say this?" Chi Zhongtian asked with a little confusion.

"King Qing, wasn't he killed by the Assassins!" said the king.

Chi Zhongtian shook his head, and then said, "Lord Wang, this matter is not suitable to be discussed here. ”

"Alright, then you can go back to the house with me now, and you have to tell me right away. ”

With his intuition, King Zun felt as if Chi Zhongtian was hiding something from him.

You must know that the news of King Qing's killing was told to him by Chi Zhongtian first, but now that he saw King Qing appear in the court safe and sound, wouldn't he be surprised?

"Good. Chi Zhongtian didn't say much, just replied lightly.

After following King Zun back to the palace, King Zun took Chi Zhongtian to the study, and didn't even let people serve tea, and after sitting down, he asked, "Zhongtian, what's going on?"

Chi Zhongtian looked outside, and then said with a smile: "Lord Wang, have you treated me as an outsider?"

"How can I treat you as an outsider? The King replied with a wave of his hand.
