Chapter 246 Unusual Respect

Kyoto.

The first floor in the world.

The morning sun slowly shone into the room of Xiao Jun and Wang Yuyan, waking up Xiao Jun who was still asleep.

Xiao Jun slowly opened his eyes, and found that Wang Yuyan had already woken up, and was lying beside him, looking at him without blinking.

"What do you watch if you don't sleep in the morning?"

Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, then hugged Wang Yuyan into his arms, and said with a smile.

"It's too noisy outside. I woke up early. This is the first time I've spent Chinese New Year in Kyoto. I didn't expect it to be so lively. People started setting off firecrackers before dawn."

Wang Yuyan said with a bitter face, but there was a hint of curiosity and excitement amidst her grievances.

"Just get used to it."

Xiao Jun smiled and said slowly.

He listened carefully, and sure enough, the whole of Kyoto seemed to be creating a festive atmosphere from early in the morning, and the sound of firecrackers was endless.

But compared with the world he used to live in, the sound of these firecrackers pales in comparison.

"Let's go out for a stroll? I haven't seen what the Chinese New Year looks like in Kyoto."

Wang Yuyan looked at Xiao Jun sideways, and said expectantly.

"Okay, but I have to go to the palace first, and when I come back, I can take a good look around with you."

Xiao Jun hesitated for a moment, then said slowly.

"also."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Wang Yuyan's face, but then a full smile appeared on her face.Although I can't go out for a walk right away, I am still very happy.

After breakfast, Xiao Jun left the first floor of the world with Bao and Feng, and set off in the direction of the palace.

Now that he has arrived in the capital, he will inevitably go to visit the prince because of emotion and reason. What's more, this matter is related to the blood clan, so he can't just sit idly by.

I don't know when, Xiao Jun added a mission for himself for no reason, maybe he didn't even realize it.

After a long time, Xiao Jun finally arrived outside the palace gate in a Humvee.

Coincidentally, he happened to meet Guan Hongfeng, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army who had been patrolling here.

When Guan Hongfeng saw Xiao Jun walking out of the carriage slowly, he was also taken aback for a moment. ,

"General Guan, please stay safe."

Xiao Jun cupped his fists at Guan Hongfeng and said calmly.

"Mr. Xu Zhu, what a coincidence? Are you here to meet His Majesty?"

Guan Hongfeng bowed back and asked slowly, frowning involuntarily.

According to the law, without the emperor's summons, Xiao Jun could not take the initiative to ask to meet the emperor, and even though Xiao Jun was once conferred the title of Martial Saint of the Song Dynasty by Song Zhezong, he has no official position, so he has no right to enter the palace to meet him.

"I want to go to the palace to visit the prince."

Xiao Jun shook his head and said lightly.

After hearing Xiao Jun's words, Guan Hongfeng seemed relieved.

"Some things have happened in the palace recently, and the defenses are relatively tight. I'm afraid I need to report to the crown prince first. I wonder if you would like to wait here for a while?"

Guan Hongfeng looked at Xiao Jun and said slowly.

"can."

Xiao Jun nodded.

He knew the rules, if anyone could enter the palace, he might not be able to catch all the assassins who sneaked into the palace.

"Thank you sir for your understanding."

Guan Hongfeng cupped his fists, then turned to look at the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Quickly go and report to the crown prince, Mr. Xu Zhu, the Holy Master of Tianmen, asks to see him."

Guan Hongfeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

A soldier agreed, and quickly rushed into the palace.

"Guan still has inspection duty, so I will leave first. Please wait here patiently, sir. After the crown prince has a reply, I will send someone to take you there. The guards in the palace are very strict today, and someone in the province has bumped into you. .”

After a while, Guan Hongfeng clasped his fists at Xiao Jun again, and said slowly, then looked at the two soldiers behind him, and whispered a few words of advice.

"There is General Laoguan."

Xiao Jun smiled and said lightly.

Guan Hongfeng nodded, then turned and walked inside.

"General Guan, I'm curious about something, can I ask the general to answer a question for me?"

Just when Guan Hongfeng was about to leave, Xiao Jun asked suddenly.

Guan Hongfeng stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Jun, frowning.

"It doesn't matter, sir."

"When the prince was assassinated that day, did the general find traces of the assassin around His Majesty's bedroom? Even the slightest sign counts."

Xiao Jun looked at Guan Hongfeng and asked seriously.

Guan Hongfeng frowned, and looked at Xiao Jun with some doubts.

"No."

After hesitating, Guan Hongfeng shook his head seriously.

"Okay, I'm done asking my questions, thank you General for letting me know."

Xiao Jun cupped his fists and said lightly.

Guan Hongfeng didn't speak any more, he clasped his fists at Xiao Jun, turned around and left again, but there was always a trace of suspicion on his face, as if he was a little dazed.

After a long time, the soldiers who went in to report finally answered the gate of the palace, and signaled the soldiers guarding the gate to let them go.

So, under the leadership of two soldiers, Xiao Jun headed towards the prince's bedroom.

Bao and Feng stayed outside the palace gate.

During the march, Xiao Jun really found that there were a lot more guards patrolling the palace than before, and the switching time was much shorter than before. It seemed that the assassination not long ago had put the entire palace into a state of tension.

Not long after, Xiao Jun came to the prince's bedroom led by two guards, but unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance again, a person who could not be more acquainted, because this person had been appearing in Xiao Jun's room for the past two days. in mind.

The commander in front of the hall, Qin Yu.

"The commander in front of the palace, Qin Yu, has met Mr.

Seeing Xiao Jun coming to the door, Qin Yu cupped his fists at Xiao Jun respectfully, and said slowly.

"Commander Qin, long time no see."

Xiao Jun cupped his fists and said lightly.

"The prince is already waiting inside, please sir."

As Qin Yu said, he stepped aside and made a gesture of please.

"it is good."

Xiao Jun nodded and walked in slowly.

"Oh, by the way, is Commander Qin in charge of guarding the Prince's bedroom now?"

Xiao Jun walked two steps, then stopped suddenly, turned to look at Qin Yu and asked slowly.

"Yes."

Qin Yu nodded and replied.

"Oh."

Xiao Jun didn't say anything more, and walked in slowly.

Qin Yu couldn't help frowning, looking at Xiao Jun's back, he frowned slightly.

As soon as Xiao Jun walked in, he saw the prince who was already waiting at the gate of the main hall, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"I don't know that Mister came to visit today, but I didn't personally greet him outside the palace gate. I neglected Mister, please forgive me."

The prince took a few steps forward, walked down the steps, looked at Xiao Jun respectfully and said.

"Xu Zhu has met His Highness."

Xiao Jun arched his hands and said with a smile.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that the prince was more respectful to him than when they met last time.

And it seemed that all the acquaintances he met today showed more respect for him than before, which made him fall into doubts.
