Chapter 696 – Finding Empty Rooms
An Zheng stood there and said six words. I don’t want it, and I don’t want it.
That was an imperial edict,’s decree. Looking at the entire world, other than the one on the who was the Buddha, there was no one else who had as much authority as Chen Wunuo. The word royal decree was the heavens’ might in Da Xi.
Yet An Zheng actually said that he wouldn’t accept in front of so many people, and I don’t want these six words. This was a decree of disobedience, a decree of disobedience, a decree of punishment.
Even Gu Qianye started to become nervous. Although she was not familiar with Da Xi, she knew that if a Saint King was rejected in such a manner, there would be no good outcome. Everyone present had a cold expression on their faces, especially the eunuch who gave out the decree. His expression was as cold as ice.
Gu Qianye subconsciously held onto the locket in front of her chest, ready to make a move at any time.
However, this was the Great Western Region, and it was also the imperial capital of Jinling. Here, even if she had the saint’s bone in her hand, she wouldn’t be able to defeat a large portion of the sky.
The steward of the household, Su Ruhai, had a dark expression as the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile: “Dao leader, what did you say?”
Everyone looked at An Zheng, wondering whether or not this young Taoist from Hollow Jade Temple had a way to resolve the crisis. Even though Niu Zhong respected and respected An Zheng a lot, he didn’t dare to say anything carelessly. After all, that was a crime worthy of the death of one’s head. He could be nervous, he could worry, he could not solve the problem.
An Zheng smiled, pointed at everyone present, and swiped his finger across the sky: “Earlier, Masters and Seniors, the actions of you seniors caused me to be extremely moved. Although I have just arrived at Da Xi, since I plan to stay here, I am from Da Xi. So I can’t take this place. All seniors are willing to sacrifice themselves for Da Xi. Although I am a foreigner, I also have the heart to contribute to Da Xi. The existence of the Ming Fa Si was a benchmark for the Da Xi Empire. If it really belonged to the Hollow Jade Temple, then the people would find it hard to accept. My Hollow Jade Temple had just arrived at the Great Xixi, but we haven’t done anything yet. I am willing to pay a visit to Your Majesty and offer up the bones and flesh of the ancient demon beast that I killed midway. But I really do not dare to accept this Ming Fa Si’s land. Even if my master, the Sect Leader of the Hollow Jade Temple were here, he would not accept it. ”
After hearing these words, Su Ruhai’s expression immediately eased up. “But Dao Friend, this ioken of His Majesty’s intentions …”
An Zheng said: “I am willing to seek an audience with Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty can take back your orders.”
Su Ruhai looked at the crowd, and could not make a decision in that moment. After a moment of silence, he said, “Since Taoist Priest is so resolute, I will return to the palace to report to His Majesty. If Your Majesty agrees, someone else will come to invite you to enter the palace. ”
An Zheng cupped his fists: “Thank you.”
Su Ruhai turned and left. If it was anyone else, he would have been punished on the spot, but not An Zheng. This was because An Zheng was not someone from the Da Xi Empire. Even if An Zheng said that he was willing to stay in the Da Xi Empire, it still involved the mysterious Hollow Jade Temple that had yet to surface. If the Hollow Jade Temple really existed and was powerful, then it would bowerful aid to Da Xi. No matter how favoured Su Ruhai was, he would not dare to make the decision rashly.
An Zheng said to the rest of them: “Since that’s the case, I will be going back. Fellow seniors, for your righteousness, please let me feel ashamed of myself and say my goodbyes. ”
He turned and walked without the slightest hesitation. As they watched him leave, they all looked at each other in dismay.
Gu Qianye followed behind An Zheng and said as they walked: “You sure are bold, to not accept the decree. Moreover, didn’t you always want this land? Now that Daxi Shenghuang has issued a decree not to take a single copper coin from you, you actually don’t want it. Why? ”
“I don’t want his gift.”
Gu Qianye imitated An Zheng and shrugged her shoulders, “If you say no, then no.”
An Zheng laughed and asked: “Aren’t you afraid that you would be implicated by me?”
Gu Qianye: “No conscience!”
An Zheng laughed out loud, and pulled Gu Qianye’s hand and walked out.
Not long after he returned to his residence, the palace sent someone to ask An Zheng to come to the First Extreme Palace immediately. An Zheng changed into a new set of clothes and, without taking a single person with him, followed the eunuch who came to deliver the decree into the palace. This young eunuch sized An Zheng up nonstop, and thought to himself, this Taoist is considered to bero among men. If he dared to say no to the imperial edict, he could boast for the rest of his life.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the young eunuch asked An Zheng to wait at the door for him to return and report. An Zheng stood at the door and looked around. He was extremely familiar with this place. Even if he didn’t enter the palace every day, he was not far off from it. At that time, the soldiers guarding the palace gates would bow down to An Zheng whenever they saw him. Even if the Sacred Emperor was not summoned, no one would stop An Zheng from entering the palace.
It felt like a lifetime had passed.
This word appeared in An Zheng’s mind, and he couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
Standing there, a young eunuch carried a small package and quickly walked over. When he saw An Zheng, he was slightly startled, then laughed: “This young Daoist is really handsome.”
An Zheng thought to himself, where did this young eunuch come from? After taking a close look, the young eunuch snorted, and muttered to himself, “Even if he’s trying to pacify the eyes, it’s still more important to run.” An Zheng thought to himself that since this young eunuch dared to run away so brazenly, how could the Imperial Guards not stop him? He looked to the side and saw that all the soldiers were looking up at the sky as if the young eunuch was air. After the eunuch left, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard let out a sigh of relief.
“This Taoist, please do not speak carelessly of what you saw just now.”
An Iron Armor Imperial Guard general walked over and said a little helplessly, “I am the Imperial Guards’ deputy general, Nalan Thi. You are Daoist Chen Liuxi, right? His Majesty has ordered for you to go in, so be careful with your words. ”
An Zheng acknowledged his as he walked forward. After walking a few steps, he turned his head back and asked: “What was that just now?”
Nalanti shook his head. “It’s better not to ask.”
An Zheng acknowledged this as he felt that it was strange. However, An Zheng suddenly thought of a detail … He had entered the palace, but there was no one to lead the way. If he had not taken even a single wrong step on his way to the First Extreme Temple, what would have been the result? Thinking about that, An Zheng could not help but shiver. If he really walked over to them, Chen Wunuo might not even ask him, but he was afraid that he would get his people to hack him into pieces.
So he got lost.
He didn’t get lost and kept walking in circles towards the harem.
In the First Extreme Palace, a young eunuch ran over and whispered a few words into Su Ruhai’s ears. Su Ruhai immediately laughed, turned his head and said to Chen Wunuo: “Your Majesty, Taoist Chen Liuxi has indeed gotten lost.
Chen Wunuo also did not raise his head, as he continued to look at the imperial reports in his hands, “Look again, if this person truly wants to rely on such a method to approach us, killing him would be fine. As long as he didn’t cause any trouble in the harem, he was free to walk around. If he really gets lost later, you can just bring him back. ”
Su Ruhai immediately nodded his head and retreated.
“Right, where’s Hua’er?”
“Your Highness …” I have escaped from the palace as I wished. ”
“Mhmm, just let her be happy. Let them bring her back.”
Chen Wunuo rubbed his brow: “How can I have such a foolish daughter like you.”
Su Ruhai wanted to laugh, but he did not dare smile at all. He lowered his head and walked out, and only started grinning after he was outside the door. However, just as his mouth split open, Chen Wunuo’s voice floated out from the house, “If we hear your laughter, we will send you to the border region’s horses.”
How did Su raise his hand to cover his mouth, quickening his pace to run away.
In the harem, An Zheng walked the entire way and pretended to be confused. The more they walked, the more girls there were. In the end, they could no longer see any men. They were all bright and charming palace maids. “Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.” When the palace maids saw him, they were also very curious and wondered where sucandsome young Daoist came from. He actually directly charged into the imperial harem. Some people kindly reminded him that if he continued onward, he would be beheaded.
An Zheng cupped his fists in thanks, his well-behaved look made the palace maids laugh. A teenage girl walked over with a blush and said, “Where are you going? “Why did you come here?”
An Zheng said: “This sister, I am going to the First Extreme Palace to see His Majesty, but I lost him in the end.”
The palace maid said with a flushed face: “Who’s your sister... You can go to the back. Forget it, I’ll bring you along for a while. “But don’t you dare speak carelessly, those who live here are all nobles. If you were to see something that you shouldn’t have, wouldn’t it be digging your eyes out?”
An Zheng said: “Seeing you, digging out your eyes is worth it.”
The palace maid’s face blushed even more as she stared at An Zheng. She didn’t have much strength, but she could see that An Zheng was actually happy in her heart. After walking only a few tens of meters, An Zheng already knew clearly what the name of this little palace maid was. That year, he entered the palace and worked there. As expected, a fortress was to be broken from the inside. The defenses of the imperial harem were too weak. In his previous life, how could An Zheng be so flirtatious witalace maid …
An Zheng suddenly realized something, then retracted his guard and warned himself to stay away from Chen Shaobai in the future …
After walking forward for a while, the little palace maid lowered her head and asked An Zheng: “Dao leader, will you come to the palace often?”
An Zheng shook his head: “I don’t think so. I’m not an official of the Holy See, nor are I one of the great noble people of the Da Xi Kingdom. I naturally wouldn’t casually come into the palace. What’s the matter? ”
The palace maid shook her head sadly: “No …” Nothing, I … Every month at the fifteenth, I would leave the palace to go to the Rain Hall on Jingan Street to buy some rouge and water powder for my mistress. If there was a chance … You can see me there. ”
An Zheng nodded his head, then took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the palace maid: “The palace has strict rules, and there isn’t much silver.
The palace maid wanted to retract her hand and tried a few times, but to no avail, she actually allowed An Zheng to pull her forward.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want others to see his true self, he wouldn’t dare to offend you like this. In the end, she even grabbed onto An Zheng’s hand a little tighter than An Zheng’s. The more they spoke, the more cheerful she became: “Remember to go and find me. This palace is a little too cold, and I can only leave after the first fifteen years.”
Just as he was speaking, Su Ruhai turned around and looked at An Zheng with a smile that was not a smile: “Dao leader, it was really hard on you to get this servant to look for you.”
The young palace maid was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly let go of her hands and bowed: “Greetings, Head Steward.”
Su Ruhai waved his hand: “Go back first, in a while go claim the fifty silver as reward yourself, just say that it’s my reward to you.”
The little palace maid lowered her head and muttered a few sentences, then turned and ran off. After running a few steps, she turned around to look at An Zheng again, and shyly smiled. His mouth silently said … Remember to look for me.
An Zheng laughed awkwardly: “Eunuch came quickly.”
Su Ruhai sighed: “If this servant hadn’t come, I’m afraid that the two of you would have already found an empty room …”
