Qing Ming

Chapter 57

The sun was setting, but the people present had no intention of leaving, because there was only one person, a strong man who could create miracles.

A man with the appearance of a military officer clasped his fists at Liu Qiankun and said, "May I ask if this chivalrous man would like to be a guest in the General's Mansion?"

Liu Qiankun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's getting late today, so I will visit you some other day!" After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Sir, please stay!" The officer stepped forward quickly, holding a handful of golden leaf coins in his hand, and said, "Sir, according to the rules, you deserve these leaves, so please don't delay!" Respectfully.

Liu Qiankun was not hypocritical, he reached out to take the stack of thin gold leaves, thanked him and turned to leave, followed by the strong man named Liu Mang.

After turning a few streets, Liu Qiankun finally found an embarrassing problem, he was lost!He turned around abruptly, almost bumping into Liu Mang who was behind him.

"Ahem! Do you know which street the station is on?" Liu Qiankun squeezed out a strange smile.

Liu Mang shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Then why are you following me?"

"You are my benefactor, so naturally I want to follow you." Liu Mang replied firmly.

Liu Qiankun rolled his eyes, he didn't expect to be happy to help others with his kindness, but he encountered an out-and-out elm lump...

"Don't you have a place to stay?" Liu Qiankun asked casually.

"Yes, but I want to know where my benefactor lives!" Liu Mang didn't hide his thoughts.

... Liu Qiankun was speechless, did he tell him that he was lost?

After asking a few passers-by, after many twists and turns, he finally arrived at the gate of the post station before nightfall, and Liu Mang left after persuading him for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Da, who was wearing a dark red court uniform, led the sleepy Liu Qiankun on horseback towards the imperial city. The road was not long, but the weather was very cold. People straighten their necks.

The imperial city is the most majestic and luxurious building complex in the center of the imperial capital. It is surrounded by towering walls, and only the sharp corners of pavilions and pavilions can be seen from a distance. In front of the city gate, there are two rows of soldiers in bright armor, with crosses in their hands. Flashing, his face was solemn, at first glance it looked like two rows of statues.

Zhou and Liu got off their horses and walked towards the city gate one after the other. Zhou Da took out an orange metal round plate from his arms and handed it to the sergeant who came up. The sergeant looked at the plate respectfully. Handed it back to Zhou Da.

The two walked side by side towards the imperial city. Liu Qiankun really felt like "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden" along the way, but he was still surnamed Liu.

Zhou Da's gaze was in contrast to Liu Qiankun's looking left and right. He walked hurriedly through the patchwork and winding roads. After walking for half an hour, he finally saw a magnificent and majestic palace-style building. Shining brightly in the morning sun.

In front of the palace, there is a road paved with a scarlet carpet. It is about ten feet long and more than two feet wide. It extends all the way to the main entrance of the palace. There are already five people standing sparsely on the carpet. It is the people who are either rich or expensive.

But they all have one thing in common, holding the same thing carefully in their hands.

Seeing Zhou Da and Liu Qiankun who was empty-handed, someone showed a scornful smile, and the rest just nodded slightly as a greeting. They didn't know Zhou Da, and of course it was even more impossible to know Liu Qiankun behind Zhou Da.

The two of them didn't speak a word, they just found a place to stop.

Everyone was looking forward to something, and everyone's eyes were focused on the open red lacquer gate, except for Liu Qiankun, who was carefully looking at the sharp spears in the hands of the soldiers in front of the palace...

Everyone is very quiet, no one whispers, as if waiting for the sun to rise.

Zhou Da was also waiting, his waist straightened, and there was a hotness in his eyes, and even his body was trembling slightly, only he could feel it.

Liu Qiankun had already looked away from the soldiers' weapons in front of the palace, and stood loosely behind Zhou Da, fiddled with the fluffy hair on the carpet with his toes from time to time.

A round of red sun was rising from the east, and finally a general in black armor came out of the vermilion lacquered gate, the red tassel on the helmet was particularly eye-catching.

"Xuan respect those who donate gold dragon blood into the hall!" The voice was loud and high-pitched, enough to reach the ears of everyone on the red carpet.

Zhou Da and Liu Qiankun walked the slowest, and of course they were also the last to enter the hall. There was silence in the hall, but there were many people standing, most of them wore dark red court clothes, and of course there were also many generals in armor. The light swept over the seven people who entered the hall, but when it landed on Zhou Da, it was a little strange.

Among them, the expressions of the two generals changed even more when they saw Liu Qiankun who was behind Zhou Da with narrowed eyes!

The king of Tianxing, Chu Tianxing, was still sitting alone on the high platform in the center of the hall. He leaned on the dragon chair and looked a little tired today. In recent days, he had added a lot of silver to his temples, and even his eyes seemed a little dim.

"Huh!" Chu Tianxing sat upright with a light sigh, because he saw Zhou Da with only half of his face exposed, which was a very familiar half of his face.

There are quite a few civil servants and military generals who have come to donate the blood of the golden dragon in recent days, but since a few have been shut down, basically no officials dare to touch Tianwei, and even those who are lucky are less and less .

Later, an old imperial doctor even came up with an extremely insidious method to distinguish the authenticity, which made those who donated dragon blood daunting, but some people still came.

Zhou Da came today, as a sheriff, he actually came, how could Chu Tianxing not be surprised.

"Report to His Majesty all those who present treasures will be brought here!" The general knelt on one knee, his voice was like a bell.

"Grassmen...Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

"Chen Zhou Da greets His Majesty!"

……

The seven people saluted together, six knelt down, and one stood with his body bowed and fists in his hands.

There was an uproar in the hall, and all eyes were on the young man in white who didn't kneel to the emperor.

"Bold!" The warrior in front of the hall shouted violently.

Liu Qiankun was stunned, but still did not bow his head to the ground, but raised his head. Although he had seen many movies and TV shows kneeling and prostrating before, when it was his turn, he still didn't enter the role...

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and the two generals were even more shocked, because they were two of the three officers who had seen Liu Qiankun's powerful skills yesterday.

Zhou Da quietly reached out and pulled Liu Qiankun's trousers, but there was still no response, so he had to bite the bullet and say loudly: "I beg your Majesty to forgive me, this person is from the Monchi Empire, and I don't know the etiquette of my country. Please don't blame me !” After speaking, his palms were slippery, and he was already dripping with cold sweat.

"That's all, let's all be flat!" Chu Tianxing flicked the back of his hand forward, immediately turning the tense atmosphere invisible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up and stood up.

Liu Qiankun smiled, and said in his heart: It seems that this Tianxing King is still a magnanimous person!Sing along with the crowd and say thank you, and it's over.

The two generals also breathed a sigh of relief. In their eyes, Liu Qiankun is a strong man, a peerless strong man. Even if he does not kneel down to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with it. However, Chu Tianxing's measure made them deeply admire.

"I don't know how many of you are here to donate the blood of the golden dragon?" Chu Tianxing deliberately looked at Zhou Da's face a few more times.

"Yes!" The six said in unison, but brought the silent Liu Qiankun over, because he was from a 'foreign country', and it seemed that he could no longer be labeled as being rude.

"But is it really the blood of the golden dragon?" Chu Tianxing asked again in a deep voice.

The civil and military ministers in the palace couldn't help being a little surprised. Recently, the monarch seldom talked with the people offering treasures. After thinking about it, they all felt relieved. This is clearly a warning to the Fengtian County Governor!

"Yes!" replied in unison.

"Okay! Someone, bring the real and fake dragon's blood to the palace!" Chu Tianxing shouted in a deep voice.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Tianxing didn't say much, his expression was solemn, and his brows frowned into a clearly recognizable word 'Chuan'.

What is it that can identify the authenticity of dragon blood?The seven people who presented the treasure were all guessing, this time without exception, the civil and military ministers in the hall knew clearly...
