Chapter 187: King An
Chu Li stood outside the Divine Capital, looking at the towering city.
This is an old city that has existed for thousands of years, and for thousands of years, in this city, there have been many pessimistic detachments, family difficulties, country breakdown, rise and fall.
The city wall is 100 meters high, like a 30-story building in later generations, covering the sky and the sun, and people are like ants.
The bricks of the city are covered with moss, retaining the traces of the vicissitudes of time.
Chu Li stood under the city and looked at it for a while, led the horse into the towering city gate, and the city guard glanced at his waist card and waved his hand to let go.
As soon as you step into the city, the bustling noise comes to your face, with the sound of selling, bargaining, laughter, and scolding.
He led the horse slowly through the crowd, walked out of the five-mile road, and in front of him was a tall and mighty city gate, which was the inner city gate, and the inventory was more strict, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers at the city gate were all sharp, all of whom had been on the killing field.
Chu Li had the waist card of the guards of the Guogong Mansion, and the road was unimpeded, and he walked more than ten miles, and finally came to a tall palace.
Above the door of the mansion hangs the plaque of "King An's Mansion", and the three big characters shine with golden light.
The top of the gatehouse is paved with yellow glazed tiles, and the ten-meter-high mansion gate vermilion lacquer is recognizable, and the rows of copper nails are shiny and compelling.
Under the tall gatehouse, the four guards in front of the mansion looked short, but their eyes were like lightning, and they stared coldly at Chu Li and his horse, murderous.
Chu Li first tied the horse to the horse tether pier next to him, came to the steps of the mansion gate, and said loudly with his fists clenched: "Chu Li, the second-grade guard of the Yiguo Mansion, was ordered to come and deliver a letter from Prince An. ”
His voice was calm, but it slowly spread out, and it was estimated that the entire palace could hear it.
The four guards glared at him coldly, thinking that he was loud.
A small door next to it opened, and a middle-aged man in brocade stepped out, standing on the steps and looking at Chu Li. Unhurried, he asked lightly, "Yiguo Mansion?"
Chu Li nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Bring the letter. The middle-aged man in brocade slowly stretched out his hand.
His face is like a crown of jade, his appearance is handsome, and his temperament is elegant and elegant, like a middle-aged Confucian who has read poetry and books, not like a porter.
Chu Li sighed secretly. The gatehouse of the palace is also so good.
He took out the letter, went up nine steps to the other party, and handed it over.
The middle-aged brocade-clothed man took the letter, glanced down at it, and said lazily: "Since it's from the Yiguo Mansion, come in." ”
Chu Li hugged his fists.
The middle-aged brocade-clothed man lazily entered the small door, and Chu Li followed in, silent about his rudeness, and then give him a little hard work when he enters King An's mansion in the future. Now is not the time to have a seizure.
The middle-aged man in brocade entered the mansion and waved his hand to a delicate maid: "Arrange a guest room for this Yiguo Mansion." ”
"Yes, Mr. Chu. The handmaid responded respectfully, and saluted Chu Li: "Son, please come with me." ”
Chu Li nodded and smiled, ran the big round mirror and glanced at Manager Chu, and secretly raised his eyebrows.
He was indeed not the porter, but the head of the outer palace of the palace, and heard Chu Li's self-report. I heard that it was from the Yiguo Mansion, so I came out in person. I want to see what the guards of the Yiguo Mansion look like.
Chu Li followed the maid through a moon gate and came to a small courtyard.
His big circle mirror was activated, and his mind stared at Chief Manager Chu, watching him pass through the courtyard of the three entrances, come to a wide and uninhabited courtyard, and stop at the foot of the white jade steps in the main hall. Said respectfully: "Lord Wang, there are guards from the Yiguo Mansion who have come to deliver the letter. ”
Chu Li saw in his mind that there was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the study room of the main house, with a square face scorched and a sickly face. With a straight nose bridge, triangular eyes, and an ordinary appearance.
He stroked the three locks of his beard under his chin and stared thoughtfully at a book.
Chu Li smiled at the maid, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, took the tea and took a sip, knowing that this middle-aged man was the fourth son of the emperor, Prince An.
He also saw that looking at the wide and uninhabited courtyard, there were ten masters of the Outer Heaven standing in the dark, protecting King An in the middle, these Outer Heaven masters were not inferior to Zhao Qingshan, hiding in the dark like statues, motionless.
In addition, there were no maids in the courtyard, only King An.
King An put down the book and pushed open the window: "From the Yiguo Mansion?"
"Yes. Manager Chu's voice was soft, and he said respectfully: "The second-grade guard Chu Li, personally sent the letter." ”
No matter which mansion it is, the Guogong Mansion or the Royal Mansion, the guards are all nine grades, and the second grade is a great grade, as the head of the foreign government, he is only the fourth grade, and the young boy is actually the second grade, and he is really a little jealous in his heart.
But even if he is a fourth grade, he is also the fourth grade of the palace, which is more noble than the Guogong Mansion, so naturally he doesn't have to grovel to this kid!
"Well, the second-grade guard, it should be an important letter, submit it. King An said lightly.
Manager Chu walked to the window under the plum tree and presented the letter with both hands.
King An tore off the fire paint, pulled it out and looked at it slowly, his burnt face became more and more gloomy, and he was frightened when he saw Mr. Chu.
"Hey!" Wang An slapped the window frame and sneered.
Manager Chu looked up cautiously.
King An snorted: "Lao Chu, your brother is dead!"
"What?!" Manager Chu was taken aback and hurriedly said, "How come?"
"Someone was killed halfway!" King An sneered: "It seems that I didn't take my King An seriously!"
Manager Chu's face was also gloomy: "Lord Wang, I only have such a younger brother......"
"Okay, okay, I thought it was a beautiful errand, but it turned out to be a messenger who sent his life, who did you complain about?" King An waved his hand impatiently: "Didn't you beg to stuff your brother in the first place?"
"Lord Wang, who did it?" Mr. Chu's eyes were about to breathe fire, and he gritted his teeth.
"Little Grandpa Xiao said that the Renguo Mansion did it!" King An sneered: "I can only believe fifty percent, you go, call that guard!"
"Yes!" said in a deep voice.
Chu Li urged the Great Circle Mirror Wisdom to the extreme, looking at King An's thoughts.
Wang An watched Manager Chu leave, threw the letter on the table, and shook his head with a sneer.
Chu Li was taken aback and frowned.
The envoys of King An's Mansion planted an internal response, ventilated a message to the Renguo Mansion, and killed these envoys with the sword of the Renguo Mansion.
The purpose is to not marry Xiao Shi.
The marriage between the prince and the Guogong Mansion is a taboo, and it is the position of the concubine, once she is on the throne, the concubine will become the queen, and the Yiguo Mansion will become a big trend, and it will be difficult to control it.
What's more, there is no need to mention any queen, if she marries a young lady from the Yiguo Mansion, she has no hope of inheriting the great treasure and has no chance of being on the throne at all.
As a prince, he is only one step away from the position of life and death, how can he be willing to do this!
Therefore, he did everything possible to destroy, killing the messenger in the mansion is only the first step, there are more means, it really can't be done, there is the last step, I heard that Xiao Shi's health is not good, if he dies of illness, no one will say anything, and he can also cut off the connection with the Yiguo Mansion.
Chu Li sat at the stone table and frowned, anger surging.
Sure enough, it is worthy of royal blood, and his nature is ruthless.
The younger brother of the head of the foreign government, in order not to arouse people's suspicion of himself, he said that he would sacrifice without hesitation, such a heart, it is really chilling.
Compared to him, Xiao Tieying Xiao Shi Xiao Qi of Yiguo Mansion is like an innocent child, if he really wants to fight with him, he is definitely not an opponent, fortunately, Xiao Qi can see through people's hearts and see through his sinister intentions.
But when Xiao Qi can meet King An, everything is a foregone conclusion, and it is too late to say anything.
