Chapter 1334 Your Grandma Doesn’t Like You
A group of people, or a group of people, a tiger, kept a low profile when entering the capital, but had to be high-profile after entering the imperial city.
Li Xizhi accompanied him personally, and Acharya, Ping Ruoshui, Huang Xu and other great masters of the realm followed him.
Even the people from the Huanglong Guards and the Chixia Army followed closely.
Everyone's eyes would intentionally or unintentionally look at the huge black tiger, and at the middle-aged man who was walking in front, looking around, and looking particularly leisurely.
The moment the man stepped into Chengtian Gate, he looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.
When the city gate was closed, the black tiger was released from the cage covered with a large black cloth.
It was really scary.
After all, no one had ever seen such a huge tiger, and its hair was black and its eyes were red, which was particularly terrifying.
The release of such a "monster" in the palace could not help but make the Huanglong Guards and the Chixia Army nervous.
The old Shu King Xia Fengye looked around and sighed with a smile: "Sending so many people makes the emperor seem petty. Can I still run away now?"
Li Xizhi smiled and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. We are not here to pick you up. This is the order of His Majesty, asking us to welcome the Lord of Shu. The Lord of Shu has made great contributions, and it is reasonable that all officials should welcome him outside the city. However, the Lord of Shu did not want to do so, so he gave up and asked us to wait here. You said we were watching you. That's not the case. You are already in the capital, where else can you go?"
Although Li Xizhi said this with a smile, his words did not give Xia Fengye any face at all.
Xia Fengye laughed and said, "I was just being sentimental."
Li Xizhi nodded: "It's okay, everyone understands, no one will laugh at you."
Xia Fengye glanced at Li Xizhi and said, "I remember you were the one who followed Yan Kuangtu and Yan Yunxiao back then."
Li Xizhi said to Xia Fengye, "It's me."
Li Xizhi pursed his lips as he spoke. "It was me who almost shot you to death back then, and you sent a lot of people to hunt me down. I still have a scar on my buttocks, left by one of your men back then."
Xia Fengye smiled and said, "Then it's my fault, right?"
Li Xizhi nodded: "What else?"
Xia Fengye narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help laughing. You come to kill me, and I let someone kill you. Doesn't that make it my fault?
Li Xizhi clasped his fists and said, "But don't worry, Old Prince. It's over and I forgive you."
Xia Fengye looked at Li Xizhi with an angry expression.
Li Xizhi said, "Old Prince, please don't be angry. If you are angry, it will give me a reason to beat you. At most, I will be fined and serve as a soldier for a few days. If I beat you, you will have to lie down and your buttocks will definitely be covered with scars."
The people around looked at Li Xizhi.
I thought that although the commander-in-chief of the Shen Ce Army was usually a laughing and joking person, he came here today to say these things, definitely to deliberately irritate Xia Fengye.
Wu Qinhu smiled and looked outside the palace wall. He saw the old blind man and the old Taoist priest.
Thinking about how the old blind man was about to enter the palace, he ended up flying out.
Others were surprised, but Wu Qinhu saw clearly that the person in the palace who took action clearly did not want to see him, an old blind man.
The old blind man didn't dare to curse, he just shrank his head and walked away.
But Wu Qinhu knew that with the old blind man's temper, he must have plotted against that person countless times in his mind.
Xia Tingyu glanced at his father and said nothing. He just reached out and touched the tiger head walking beside him to make it behave better.
Xia Tingyu thought that his father's current situation should be something he himself had expected. After all, when people do something wrong, they will never go unpunished.
What could she do? She was surrounded by a group of great masters.
The black tiger was quite obedient. He was only released from the cage occasionally along the way, but he seemed to know that he was going somewhere else, so he was not annoyed.
Although he looked around curiously, he also lowered and shook his head.
Sudden
A big hand pressed on the black tiger's head.
Hei Hu was unhappy and immediately looked back, growling from his throat. But the moment he saw the tall woman clearly, Hei Hu lowered his head obediently and the growl suddenly stopped.
"Now that you're in the palace, stop yelling. Your neck is too stiff. There are plenty of ways to soften it. What do you think, Xia Fengye?"
The moment Yan Yunxiao appeared, everyone saluted him, even Xia Tingyu bowed.
Zhang Junyi took a deep breath, finally meeting the world-famous commander of Yan!
The general once told them, "When you see that woman Yan Yunxiao, your hearts will surely race! Mainly out of fear!"
Just as the general said, Zhang Junyi and Xia Tingyu's followers were also veterans, but when they saw the tall woman reaching out to touch the black tiger as if it were a kitten, they felt a trembling in their hearts for no reason.
"It's a good cat, but don't let it get angry. There are a lot of people in the capital recently." Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Tingyu.
Xia Tingyu's fox eyes noticed Shentu Kuyue who had been squatting on the tiger at some point. It was not because Shentu Kuyue had appeared suddenly, but because there was a slap mark on Shentu Kuyue's face.
"Look, you've never seen a beautiful woman being slapped." Ku Yue rode on the black tiger and roared at Wu Qinhu with an unhappy face.
After saying this, Ku Yue puffed out her cheeks as if she was sulking, as if she had suffered a great injustice and had nowhere to vent.
Wu Qinhu laughed even more happily.
Xia Tingyu retracted her gaze and looked at Yan Yunxiao: "Hello, Aunt Yan. I heard that Aunt Yan had a martial arts competition today."
Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Tingyu and said casually, "I knew you were coming, so I let them all go."
After saying that, Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Tingyu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Shu."
Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "I didn't do anything."
Xia Fengye kept looking at Yan Yunxiao, a woman he hadn't seen for decades. She seemed to be no different from back then. "Yunxiao... No, I should call you Commander Yan now. I'm back in the capital. You..."
Bang!
Before Xia Fengye could finish his words, Yan Yunxiao had already slapped him.
Xia Fengye flew backwards, but it was obvious that Yan Yunxiao controlled the force, otherwise Xia Fengye would not have just had a slap mark on his face.
Yan Yunxiao looked at Xia Fengye coldly: "Help him up, His Majesty and His Majesty are still waiting."
Li Xizhi stepped forward and supported Xia Fengye with a smile.
Xia Fengye laughed a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Yan Yunxiao: "You still have the same temper as before, Yan Yunxiao."
Yan Yunxiao said, "If it were me in the past, you would have been beheaded."
Yan Yunxiao didn't say anything else, but looked at Zhang Junyi. "His Majesty is already aware of your affairs. The Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Palace Affairs are discussing and deciding on Dian Junming's entry into the Imperial Ancestral Temple. They will give you an explanation. Also, the Lord of Shu has written a letter recommending you. You will have a choice later, and it all depends on which one you choose. Someone will take you to a place to rest now. When His Majesty finishes his conversation with the Lord of Shu and returns home, someone will call you."
Zhang Junyi and others were stunned and looked at Xia Tingyu, because they had never heard of any recommendation.
But now he knew that this was not the time to ask about this, so he immediately bowed and left.
Yan Yunxiao looked at Huang Xu, Ping Ruoshui and others again. They naturally knew what he meant and nodded with a smile.
Although Shu is far away, there is no rush to report back.
And it’s best to rest now.
So the team that originally seemed to be very large suddenly had only a few people left.
Yan Yunxiao looked at Wu Qinhu and first thanked him, then said that there would be a competition with Wu Daming today, and he could go and watch it after it was over.
Wu Qinhu smiled and nodded. To be honest, he really missed his silly granddaughter.
Moreover, this time he had to pay a personal visit to the Empress and His Majesty. His silly granddaughter had been accepted as an apprentice by the Empress and had received a lot of care from His Majesty.
Xia Fengye, who was slapped, still looked the same, but Yan Yunxiao did not go over to do anything to him. He just walked beside Wu Qinhu.
But Xia Fengye would smile bitterly from time to time. It was not known whether it was because he was unfamiliar with the current appearance of the palace where he grew up, or because he remembered something.
Walking in the palace, the palace servants saw the big black tiger and gasped, thinking of staying away from it because it was too scary.
But when they saw Commander Yan, they felt much more at ease.
But Xia Fengye looked at the palace maids and said, "I heard that the Queen held an exam to select the ladies-in-waiting and eunuchs. Looking at the movements of the palace maids, they are quite skillful."
Li Xizhi walked beside Xia Fengye and said with a smile, "The Empress has made many good things. As for what you said about the palace servants being capable, there is hope for the future. As long as you are willing to learn and pass the exams, you can move up to higher positions. Those who are ambitious are holding back their efforts. Old Prince, there are plenty of opportunities, so don't be so ignorant now."
Li Xizhi is the one who is omnipresent. Even for this one thing, he wants to criticize Xia Fengye.
But it’s not Li Xizhi’s fault, he’s a bit petty and holds a grudge!
Xia Fengye didn't say anything.
But just as he was about to enter the corridor leading to Lingqi Pavilion, Xia Fengye saw the tallest building, Hua'e Tower.
But after just a glance, he turned his gaze back to the corridor in front of him and said, "Are the Empress and the Emperor living in that small Lingqi Pavilion?"
After saying this, he looked at the corridor on one side. Not to mention the word "grandness", even the courtyards were numerous in his Shu King's Palace, and those courtyards were usually where the servants lived. He looked up at the courtyard gate where the servants walked out and said to himself: "As the Son of Heaven, why would he live here instead of living in a palace? Or is he doing it for show? And the Queen, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Why doesn't she live in such a huge palace and live here?"
Yan Yunxiao glanced at Xia Fengye, but strangely did not take any action. He just raised his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of Kuyue who was about to go over.
Li Xizhi had already laughed and raised his hand.
But it was also at this time.
Everyone heard this and said, "Saying things like this behind one's back isn't what an elder should do, Thirteenth Prince. No wonder your grandmother doesn't like you."
Then, I heard: "How come you are so big, tiger? Do you bite people?"
Xia Tingyu lowered his eyes and looked at the person squatting in front of his tiger.
