He noticed that any of the guards possessed an aura indicating a cultivation level of at least the fourth rank, with many even reaching the fifth rank.
Each of them would be considered a master in the martial arts world, not to mention that these people must also have a combined attack formation, making their strength even more terrifying.
This palace must be the safest place in the world.
With Zhu Xiechixin leading the way, the journey was smooth and unimpeded. The group walked for a long time in the palace and arrived at a palace gate, where an old eunuch was already waiting.
Zhu Xie Chixin replied, "I can't go in now. You go with Eunuch Li, and he will take you to see the Emperor."
Zu An was taken aback. He figured that the area behind the palace gate must be the inner palace, where the emperor's concubines and other women lived. Outsiders were generally not allowed to enter.
So, letting me in meant you didn't intend for me to live afterwards?
However, since things have come to this point, he can only deal with whatever comes his way and hope that his plan will work.
"Thank you for your trouble, Commander." After the old eunuch finished handing over the reins to Zhu Xie, he said to Zu An in a shrill voice, "Come with me."
Zu An thought to himself that although Old Man Mi's voice was unpleasant, it shouldn't have such obvious eunuch characteristics. He must have had profound cultivation to cover up his physical defects.
He followed the old eunuch inside, hoping to strike up a conversation, but the eunuch acted arrogantly and ignored him. He decided not to waste his breath, since the key was still the emperor himself.
We walked a long way and saw that the surrounding environment became more and more tranquil, as if we were strolling through an imperial garden.
Finally, the two walked across a waterside corridor and stopped in a pavilion. The old eunuch said, "Wait here."
Zu'an was taken aback: "Weren't we going to see the Emperor?"
The old eunuch replied, "His Majesty is currently holding court, so he asked you to wait here and not wander off."
After saying that, he left, leaving Zu'an alone in the pavilion.
Zu An's expression was extremely strange. This emperor is really carefree. He just leaves him alone in the inner palace. Isn't he afraid that Zu An will cause chaos in the harem?
There were pastries on the table. Zu'an had worked hard all night, and Zhu Xie Chixin hadn't fed him this morning, so he was really hungry.
However, he was worried that it might be a scam and didn't dare to eat it.
After a while, he finally couldn't sit still any longer. Staring at these pastries but not being able to eat them was too much of a test of willpower.
So he decided to wander around and get familiar with the surroundings.
The palace was too complicated, and he got a little lost after walking for a while. Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly heard a silly voice from ahead: "I told you to learn to jump like frogs, when have you ever seen a frog jumping while wearing pants?"
