Chapter 0057 Suppression
Eight guards of the Forbidden Palace stood calmly on both sides of the front door, watching Cheng Siqian and Li Chengkong approach under the escort of seventeen knights.
Cheng Siqian waved his hand.
All the knights turned and left.
Cheng Siqian holds up the silver medal.
The eight Forbidden Palace guards nodded and indicated that they could come closer.
One of the guards' chest suddenly bulged and squirmed. With a flash of silver light, a silver mouse was already standing on his shoulder. With another leap, it landed on Li Chengkong's shoulder.
The eight Forbidden Palace guards looked serious and stepped forward to block the door.
Cheng Siqian looked at Li Chengkong: "Is there anything poisonous on you?"
A guard from the Forbidden Palace came up to Li Chengkong and extended his hand.
Li Chengkong took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over.
When the guard of the forbidden palace was about to open the bottle stopper, Li Chengkong said slowly: "This is the Red Yin Pearl, you can't open the bottle stopper."
When they heard about the Red Yin Pearl, the eight Forbidden Palace guards and Cheng Siqian all changed their expressions.
The guard from the Forbidden Palace who was reaching out to open the bottle for inspection froze in his tracks, veins bulging on his hands. He pressed the cork cautiously, fearing that he had pulled it out just now, and put it aside carefully, fearing that he might break the porcelain bottle by using too much force.
Cheng Siqian opened his mouth and closed it again.
He wanted to curse and say something ridiculous, the Chi Yin Pearl was actually placed in a porcelain bottle, what if it was accidentally broken.
But after thinking about the emperor's order, he shut his mouth. Who knew what this eunuch who grew vegetables in Xiaoling Mausoleum was involved in? He couldn't afford to offend him.
The silver mouse kicked Li Chengkong's shoulder and jumped back onto the shoulder of the Forbidden Palace guard. It stared at Li Chengkong with its eyes wide open, then slid down and into the guard's arms.
"That's enough." The eight Forbidden Palace guards stepped back and made way for the door.
Cheng Siqian took Li Chengkong through the front door.
As soon as he stepped onto the blue bricks inside the door, Li Chengkong's eyes suddenly opened up.
It is a square surrounded by four sides, a hundred meters square, paved with blue bricks, open and flat.
Dozens of Forbidden Palace guards stood on the surrounding city walls, forming a tight siege. Li Chengkong could even feel the presence of grandmasters.
He was solemn and calm, worthy of being in the imperial palace, filled with experts.
There are four grandmasters guarding this door alone .
Are there so many masters and experts in the capital?
His eager mind suddenly calmed down, as if a bucket of water was poured over his head, and he woke up.
After a hundred meters there is another gate, Zhengyang Gate.
Eight guards from the Forbidden Palace blocked the way. Cheng Siqian raised the silver plate and they made way. When passing through the gate, Li Chengkong's clothes suddenly bulged in several places, propping up his clothes.
"Dangdangdangdang..." Li Chengkong shook his body hurriedly, and the flying knives on his waist and the daggers in his sleeves all shot onto the green city gate.
"You have quite a lot of stuff on you!" Cheng Siqian couldn't help but say as he looked at the nine exquisite flying knives and the shining daggers.
"Lord Cheng, these things of mine are quite expensive." Li Chengkong smiled embarrassedly and secretly looked at the green city gate.
He guessed that it was a huge magnet with incredible magnetic force. It was likely that no weapon would be able to penetrate it, unless it was a wooden sword or a wooden knife.
Cheng Siqian said: "Could it be possible that the Forbidden Palace would covet a few of your flying knives?!"
Li Chengkong followed him across the Zhengyang Gate and walked further in, passing through the Nantian Gate, Nantan Gate, and Nanlong Gate in turn, and finally arrived outside the Guangming Hall.
He stood at the bottom of the stairs, being stared at by the guards of the Forbidden Palace, as if they were about to pounce on him at any time.
A handsome young eunuch next to him explained in a soft voice the etiquette of meeting the emperor and the taboos, so as to avoid being impolite and being punished.
After a moment, a long and mellow voice sounded: "Call Li Chengkong into the hall!"
Li Chengkong clasped his fists and thanked the young eunuch. No matter how young, a eunuch who could work in Guangming Palace had a bright future.
Even if he became a master, he would still be far from reaching the status of this little eunuch.
Li Chengkong walked slowly into the Guangming Palace, bowed and clasped his fists: "Li Chengkong greets His Majesty."
"Hmm——?" Dugu Qian pressed the dragon case, his eyes suddenly fixed.
Lu Zhang was originally going to reprimand a low-class eunuch for not kneeling down to pay homage to the emperor.
Ministers do not have to kneel when they see the emperor, eunuchs of rank do not have to kneel, but eunuchs of no rank have to kneel.
The words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly froze, and he frowned, wondering if he was hallucinating. Was he a master?
Dugu Qian chuckled: "It seems that Qin Tiannan did not exaggerate. Li Chengkong, you are indeed a genius."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Li Chengkong clasped his fists respectfully.
He sighed inwardly.
Then I met the emperor. It happened so fast. Everything happened so quickly and suddenly. It seemed like a dream.
This emperor was born with a good appearance, no wonder Dugu Shuming was so beautiful.
Then he lowered his eyes slightly, collected his thoughts, and continued to act respectful.
This idea is extremely rebellious in this world and is very dangerous.
There are four masters behind the screen, their aura suppressing him subtly, as if they will pounce on him at any time, secretly warning him not to act rashly.
It also seemed to be warning himself that this realm posed no threat to the emperor and not to be arrogant.
Li Chengkong took a quick glance and kept replaying the analysis in his mind.
Looking at the emperor's expression, he didn't care much, even though he was so young and already a master.
This emperor is so cunning!
Dugu Qian raised his voice and said, "Ming'er, come in."
Dugu Shuming floated in lightly, wearing a snow-white silk gown that was spotless, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Li Chengkong looked up at her and found that she looked haggard and thinner.
"Let's not talk nonsense, Li Chengkong, you should follow Ming'er immediately," Dugu Qian said in a deep voice, "If you cure Yu Fei, I will reward you handsomely!"
Li Chengkong said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Dugu Shuming said hurriedly: "Quick! Quick!"
Li Chengkong followed Dugu Shuming and left Guangming Hall.
"A master." Dugu Qian looked at Li Chengkong's back as he left and smiled at Lu Zhang: "What a genius."
Lu Zhang said slowly: "I'm afraid he is the youngest Grandmaster. Congratulations, Your Majesty. It is your Majesty's honor and our Dayue's honor to have such a talented person!"
"He's just a master." Dugu Qian said, "Let's see if he can cure Yu Fei."
Lu Zhang said: "Such a martial arts genius can be sent to the Imperial Household Department to be a golden-armored eunuch in the future to protect the emperor's safety!"
Dugu Qian shook his head: "Lu Zhang, you..."
The Zhijijian was an important agency at the beginning of the nation, no less important than the current Silijian. But now it is just a leisurely place for retirement and does not hold power.
All his eunuchs in golden armor are in this prison.
The status of the golden-armored eunuch was honorable, but he had no power, and his life was boring. He spent most of his time behind his screen like a clay figurine.
If they are old guys who are tired of the world and can endure loneliness, it’s okay, they will have a leisurely and dignified life.
Li Chengkong became a master at such a young age, so he must have a very high ambition. How could he endure such loneliness?
Putting him in jail would probably be more painful than killing him.
Lu Zhang hurriedly said: "Of all the things in the world, is there anything more important than the safety of the emperor?"
"Okay." Dugu Qian waved his hand.
Lu Zhang bowed and retreated quickly.
He sighed to himself.
When it comes to understanding and influencing the emperor, I am far behind Wang Ruoyu, and I have a long way to go!
Li Chengkong followed Dugu Shuming in silence.
Dugu Shuming suddenly stopped in front of Mingyu Palace and turned around.
Li Chengkong met her gaze calmly.
In the bright sunshine, she is like a white jade statue of a beautiful woman, emitting a warm luster.
"Li Chengkong, I know you hate me."
"Your Highness, you are too polite." A smile slowly spread across Li Chengkong's face. He bowed slowly and clasped his fists in a respectful manner.
"If it were me, I would be the same." Dugu Shuming stared at him deeply: "But I am me, my mother is my mother, she treats people gently, never punishes or scolds me, but she has to suffer such torture, how unfair is God!"
Li Chengkong said respectfully: "Your Highness, please go see Empress Yufei first. I am not very knowledgeable and may not be able to help you."
Another advantage of being a master is that he can call himself "I", "Your Highness", or "Mr. Li" instead of "villain", "slave", or "minor official".
"...Okay." Dugu Shuming saw him like this and knew that his hatred for him had not subsided, so it was useless to say anything.
The two stepped into Mingyu Palace.
"Princess..." Su Ru, Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue came forward and stared at Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong looked straight ahead.
After passing through two more doors, he entered the Jade Concubine's bedroom and came to her bed.
Li Chengkong was a eunuch, so he didn't need to avoid suspicion and directly pressed down Concubine Yu's arm, which was burnt yellow with black spots.
There was only a middle-aged palace maid and an old eunuch in the bedroom, staring at Li Chengkong together with Dugu Shuming.
A burning heat penetrated from his fingers into his arms, into his body, and burned his heart.
He thought to himself that this force was dozens or hundreds of times stronger than Yuan Mingxue's at that time, and was similar to the lightning that hit him at that time.
The star power in the Tianyin Cave surged out and instantly suppressed the burning force.
The temperature in the house dropped suddenly.
