Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 77
After encountering some obstacles at the gate of the city, a total of six people including Xu Jin and Chen Zhe finally entered the city, while the others stayed outside the city and waited.

However, through this incident, Xu Jin confirmed a conjecture in her heart, that is, Chen Zhe, the prince, may indeed have some gaps with the Lord Chen, so that even if he was stopped at the gate of the city, he did not reveal himself to the little official. identity of.

"In Liangyu City, there are indeed a lot more people!" As soon as they walked into the city gate, Xu Jin glanced forward and found that just as the little official at the city gate said, now Liangyu There are indeed a lot more people among them than before.

Looking at the gate of the city, the pedestrians on the street are very dense, and there are many new buildings in the city. It seems that it is more prosperous than before, and of course it seems a little more chaotic.

In fact, most of these people who can enter Liangyu now are people with a certain family background or background. As for the ordinary people who escaped, most of them are outside the city and have not been able to enter the city at all.

A few people walked along the road towards the Chen Palace, and after passing through the bustling crowd, they came to the area where the rich and powerful families lived in the city. This place was not much different from before, and it was still quiet. Those noisy voices , seems to be completely out of reach here.

And after arriving here, Xu Jin felt the surroundings again, as if there were pairs of eyes staring at her. Although the mansions were closed tightly, Xu Jin felt as if she was surrounded by others.

Of course, Chen Zhe and others also felt the same way. He glanced at the mansions on both sides, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke to Tian Yu beside him.

"We've been away for decades and come back here again. Everyone seems to welcome us. After we're done with our work, we can't help but visit old friends. We haven't seen each other for decades. Some people still miss us!"

"My lord said that I haven't seen you for decades, now that I'm back, I really should catch up with my old friend!" Tian Yu replied with a smile after hearing the words.

The two walked forward while talking, talking and laughing happily, and their temperament seemed to have undergone some changes, with a little more calm demeanor and a bit of sharpness.

Xu Jin and the rest of the people followed behind the two of them, as if they were their attendants. At this time, there were fewer eyes paying attention to them, and almost all eyes were attracted to Tian Yu and Chen Zhe. .

Xu Jin was so happy, and just followed silently. After a while, everyone came to the square outside Chen Wang's palace. Everyone stopped here. Chen Ling looked up and looked close, but in fact Chen Wanggong, who could not be seen from the outside, had a look of nostalgia on his face, and whispered in his mouth.

"came back!"

After this murmur, Chen Zhe then took a deep breath, his expression quickly returned to normal, and then he walked forward step by step, stopped in front of the palace gate, and spoke loudly to the Taoist soldiers guarding the gate of the palace .

"Xinze Commander Chen Zhe, brought the ministers who made meritorious service in the first battle of Xinze to meet the emperor!"

"Wait a minute, son, I'll go in and report right away!" Hearing the Taoist soldiers guarding the door, one of them bowed back to Chen Zhe, then turned around and went in to report.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Taoist soldier who had just reported came out and saluted Chen Zhe again.

"Your Majesty has an order, please bring someone into the palace to meet you!"

As soon as the words were finished, several Taoist soldiers came out from both sides of the gate of the palace. The weapons in their hands were set up, and there was a sound of gold and iron colliding. Then the gate of the palace opened, signaling for Chen Zhe and others to enter.

Seeing this, Chen Zhe glanced back at the people behind him, then walked in directly, followed by Xu Jin and others.

The moment she stepped into the gate of King Chen's Palace, the familiar sense of space transformation instantly appeared on Xu Jin's body. After this feeling disappeared, a huge square appeared in front of Xu Jin, the area of ​​which was several times that of the square outside. Ten times, the entire square is paved with white jade stone. At the end of the square, there is a rather magnificent palace, and there are two smaller side halls beside it. Not sure.

"There is the Yuhua Palace, which is the place where our country Chen will hold court meetings. When ordinary officials enter the palace, without permission, they can only stop in the Yuhua Palace and cannot set foot in the area behind the Yuhua Palace. There are two side halls next to it, one It is the place where the ministers take a break when attending the court meeting, and the other one is the place where the emperor meets the ministers when he summons the ministers, and we will enter that side hall in a while!"

Seeing that the people around him were all looking at the hall in front of them, Tian Yu, who was standing beside them, opened his mouth to introduce them.

Everyone continued to move forward. At this time, Xu Jin discovered that on the stone bricks made of white jade under his feet, there were some patterns carved at intervals. It seemed that they should be simple paintings of some strange beasts, which were very simple. The image outlined by the lines creates a mysterious charm.

Several people came step by step to the front of the side hall next to the Yuhua Palace. At the entrance of the side hall, Zhen Yin Si Bu, whom Xu Jin had met before, was standing there. Zhe opened his mouth and said.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, please bring someone in!"

"It's work!"

Chen Zhe looked at Si Bu in front of him, nodded slightly to him, then walked into the side hall, and the people behind him followed suit, but at this moment, Xu Jin found that Si Bu's eyes fell on her own. body, they also looked towards each other.

The two looked at each other, and Si Bu nodded to Xu Jin with a smile on his face, and said softly: "I remember you, the person who killed a Zhen Yin in Jingguo before, I didn't expect you to become a blood lord Taoist soldier After the Lord, not long after you left the capital, you were able to make contributions and come back, you really did not disappoint your majesty!"

"Thank you for your praise, sir, it's just a fluke!" Xu Jin said with a smile when she heard the words.

After the two talked to each other, Xu Jin followed a few people into the side hall. The moment she stepped into the door, Xu Jin suddenly felt as if she was wearing a layer of shackles, and the flow of mana in her body became very slow. The body seems to have gained weight.

This sudden change made Xu Jin a little uncomfortable for a moment, but he quickly realized that this should be a means to prevent someone from harming the Lord of Chen. As the palace of Chen, it is normal to have such an arrangement.

Enduring this discomfort, Xu Jin quickly glanced at the situation in the side hall. Although it is a side hall in front of him, the interior furnishings are also very gorgeous. Chen Shou, the lord of the Chen Kingdom, is sitting behind a desk Looking at them, the majestic aura on their bodies made people dare not look directly at them.

"The minister waited to see the emperor!"

As soon as he saw Chen Shou, Tian Yu saluted immediately, and said. Xu Jin and others were a little slower, but they all followed Tian Yu's movements and saluted together.

"Don't be too polite!"

Looking at the people standing in front of him, Chen Shou nodded his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Chen Zhe first. Under Chen Shou's gaze, the expression on Chen Zhe's face did not change. After saluting, Just stood there calmly.

"You have made some progress over the years. This time, you did a good job!" Looking at Chen Zhe with a calm face, Chen Shou said in a very calm tone.

When Xu Jin heard the other party's words, it should be a word of appreciation, but from Chen Shou's tone, he couldn't hear a hint of appreciation, but a sense of distance, and Chen Shou didn't either. In response, he continued to stand quietly.

"You are also very good at waiting. You contributed a lot to this great victory in Xinze, especially you, Tian Yu, I remember your name. When you were in Liangyu, your talents and learning were revealed. It is a pity these years Already!"

Seeing that Chen Zhe didn't respond, Chen Shou turned his eyes to Tian Yu who was at the side again, and said to him, this time, the meaning of appreciation in his words was more obvious.

"A tiny talent, I didn't expect to be remembered by the king, it really makes Yu happy!" After hearing Chen Shou's words, Tian Yu hurriedly bowed and replied.

At this time, Chen Shou turned his gaze to Xu Jin who was at the side again, with a smile on his face.

"Xu Jin, the lord of the blood owl Taoist soldiers, is the only lord of the Dao soldiers in my country of Chen. Even looking at all the countries, you are also the only one who has become the lord of the soldiers in the body of a Taoist soldier. I have not misunderstood you." Yes, you really did not disappoint the widow!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Xu Jin also bowed and saluted after hearing this.

Afterwards, Chen Shou turned his attention to the three people who came together, praised the three of them, and continued to speak.

"This time in the battle of Xinze, you have made great contributions to Chen Guoli. Naturally, some rewards should be given to you, but besides you, Ueno also has credit for cooperation, and should also be rewarded. Within three days, the court will According to your merits, the rewards for you have been drawn up, Chen Zhe stays here, you go back and rest first!"

"Sir, please retire!"

Hearing that Chen Shou asked everyone to leave, Xu Jin and the others saluted at the same time, and then retreated, leaving only Chen Zhe standing in the side hall.

After walking out of the side hall, everyone quickly left the Chen Palace. After walking out of the gate of the palace, Tian Yu suddenly sighed and said to Xu Jin beside him.

"Lord Lingshou will stay in the palace for the time being, and without Lord Lingshou, we will not be able to open his former residence. In Liangyu City, there is not even a place to stay temporarily. When Lord Lingshou comes back Before that, we might have to stay outside the city temporarily!"

Xu Jin was a little surprised when he heard Tian Yu's words. He didn't expect that after returning to Liangyu, he would temporarily settle outside the city. However, he didn't care too much about it. Well, it's actually better for them to stay outside the city. Thinking of this, Xu Jin said to Tian Yu.

"It's okay to stay outside the city for the time being. It's more comfortable than being in the city, but I'm going to pay my respects to the previous military master, so I may have to leave the city later!"
