Therefore, after Cao Zhengchun appeared, the surrounding noise almost disappeared.
Seeing the difference between Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun's appearances, Qu Feiyan and the other girls fully understood what it meant to bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Eunuch Cao"
As Cao Zhengchun approached, the guards at the palace gate bowed in salute.
In response to the salute of the two generals, Cao Zhengchun said, "I'm sorry to trouble General Zhou and General Zhao tonight."
When he spoke, the smile on his face and his polite voice made people feel Cao Zhengchun's respect and sincerity.
"It is my duty, Eunuch Cao, you are too kind."
Cao Zhengchun chuckled and said, "Yes! We're all serving His Majesty, it must be tough working so late at night!"
Although the two guards did not respond, the smiles on their faces grew even wider.
Taking in the expression of the distant garrison commander, Chu Qinghe sighed softly.
If Cao Zhengchun were in the previous life, he would definitely be a number one figure in the public relations industry.
He's polite to strangers and empathetic to these two generals; he knows how to build rapport.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two guards in front of him, Cao Zhengchun took a few steps and turned his gaze to Zhu Wushi.
After glancing at Zhu Wushi, Cao Zhengchun smiled and bowed, saying, "This old servant greets the Divine Marquis."
In response to Cao Zhengchun's bow, Zhu Wushi gave a soft "hmm," a smile playing on his lips, and said in a steady voice, "You're too kind, Eunuch Cao."
Cao Zhengchun, his smile undiminished, said, "You flatter me, Divine Marquis."
Zhu Wushi chuckled to himself, then lifted his foot and walked towards the palace gate.
It was only when Zhu Wushi set off that Cao Zhengchun followed closely behind.
A few steps later, as the two passed through the guards, Cao Zhengchun slowly turned around, and his slightly shrill voice slowly rang out.
"Today, by His Majesty's grace, you are permitted to enter the palace to observe the battle. However, you are strictly forbidden from entering any area of the palace other than the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the battle is to be observed. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed without mercy."
Although Cao Zhengchun's voice wasn't loud, it was clearly heard by everyone thanks to the enhancement of his inner energy.
After Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Wushi, and others entered the palace, a guard at the palace gate shouted: "You all heard what Eunuch Cao said. If you are smart, behave yourselves after entering the palace. Except for the area outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony where you watch the battle, you are not allowed to enter any other places. Leave the palace as soon as the battle is over. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."
After he finished speaking, the general gestured for the guards who had been stationed in front of the palace gate to retreat to both sides.
The group of martial artists who had been waiting outside the palace gates finally passed through them one after another.
Let's go!
Glancing at the group of martial artists moving in the distance, Chu Qinghe slowly spoke and then led the women to mingle among the surrounding martial artists as they headed towards the palace gate.
As they walked, they discovered that from the palace gate to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were two rows of soldiers in armor, their expressions solemn, guarding the passageway.
Since entering the palace gates, Chu Qinghe, along with Lu Xiaofeng and the others who were walking at the front, had been walking for nearly a quarter of an hour.
However, when the number of guards in the palace was tallied along the way, it was found that their numbers had not decreased but rather increased.
With such a large number of guards, not to mention ordinary martial artists, even Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
After walking for about 15 minutes, the group finally arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It is also the highest and largest palace in this royal palace.
Compared to the guards seen before, the area outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony was now heavily guarded.
On the vast open space nearly a hundred feet outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in addition to the ordinary guards, there were also some armed agents from the Eastern Depot and guards from the Dragon Guard Manor standing side by side.
Each person placed their hand on the hilt of their sword, their expression wary as they scanned the warriors who were entering the palace to watch the battle.
Behind these Eastern Depot agents, only ten steps away, were imperial guards stationed.
What is most striking is that on the surrounding city walls, there is a huge crossbow every fifty steps or so, and the huge arrows on it, which are polished to a very sharp point, exude a distinct chill under the moonlight and the surrounding firelight.
The arrows fired from such heavy crossbows would make even a Grandmaster-level martial artist, let alone an ordinary Innate Realm martial artist, feel more solemn.
Under these circumstances, the voices of the warriors who wanted to watch the battle, as they walked and talked, unconsciously decreased considerably.
After entering the open space outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the martial artists dispersed into small groups, each choosing a spot they liked.
As the people around them dispersed, Chu Qinghe and the others, now standing at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, focused their attention on Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun.
At this moment, there was another person beside Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun.
He looked to be in his sixties, wearing a white robe, and appeared very thin.
Strangely, although the old man's face showed many wrinkles, his hair and long beard were as black and shiny as a young man's.
The black braids ran from the collar down to the abdomen, making the black stand out even more and the white clothes even more eye-catching.
Just standing there, he exudes a sense of tranquility and refinement.
At this moment, looking across the imperial court, the only one qualified to stand alongside Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun is Zhuge Zhengwo, who is listed among the Grandmasters under Bai Xiaosheng, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm, and who is in charge of the Six Doors.
