Great Song Pirate

Chapter 231 Jiwang Mansion (580th monthly ticket plus update)
The chill in Bianliang City in early spring has dissipated, except that it is still a little cold in the morning and evening, people can already stretch their limbs to their heart's content, and enjoy the false peaceful scene of singing and dancing, but walking on the streets of Bianliang, Xu Yi can only There are bursts of chills, only he knows that such a scene will not last for a few years, and he can't help but feel sad for this giant city. The wheels of history are rolling under the control of these powerful people, but he seems Still unable to stop it.

When Xu Yi led Li Mutian to Prince Ji's Mansion and stood in front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, he couldn't help hesitating again. Although he didn't feel that he was inferior in his heart, this place was in the Song Dynasty after all. The system is still very strict, no matter how powerful he is, only the people of Dulong Island know that his identity on land is just a ship merchant, maybe that King Ji has long forgotten that he was such an outspoken madman. , after all, it was more than a year ago, wouldn't it be embarrassing if King Ji couldn't remember himself?

Just as he was standing in front of the palace and hesitating, two guards standing at the gate of the palace saw them, so one of them left the gate and walked towards them: "You two, this is the important place of the palace, don't stay here, leave quickly. go!"

Li Mutian tugged on Xu Yi's sleeve, and Xu Yi came back to his senses. When he saw the guard walking in front of him, Xu Yi turned his heart away. If he came, he would be at ease. What was he worried about? If that King Ji still remembered himself It's the best words, if he has forgotten it, he will leave without any loss, at least he promised Yiqing to come and see him, the seventh brother, and help him if he can. Besides, I also want to pay a visit to him, anyway, I don't have Li Mutian's thoughts, I want to make friends with a prince, what am I afraid of him!
After seeing the badge that Xu Yi took out, the attitude of the guard changed drastically, and he hurriedly let the two of them to the gate of the mansion very politely, and said very respectfully: "This badge belongs to our prince. Two wait a moment, the villain will go inside to inform the prince immediately! But I don't know where the two are, so the younger one can report to the prince!"

"Thank you, my surname is Xu Mingning, who is from Hangzhou, and this surname is Li Mingmutian, who is also from Hangzhou!" Xu Yi politely replied that he didn't use any alias when he was in Hangzhou last time, but he remembered that he was in Heji When Wang Gao was talking, he seemed to only give his surname, but not his name, so he temporarily changed his name to deal with the matter. God knows if someone on land already knows Xu Yi's reputation at sea. Be careful in everything. For the top.

Li Mutian is a smart man, so he quickly stuffed a small silver coin into his sleeve, and the palace guard's face became tense, and he quickly pushed it away: "You don't have to do this, our Jiwangfu is not any other place, if you don't like this, the prince will discipline his subordinates." Don’t dare to accept those who are extremely strict! Thank you, wait a moment, I’ll go in here to report!” Then he turned around and entered the gate.

Li Mutian's hands were in the air, he smiled awkwardly at Xu Yi, and retracted his hands, Xu Yi also smiled at him, but he had a new understanding of King Ji in his heart. The flamboyance of the Song Dynasty is very serious, any place, as long as it is a public servant, there is no one who does not take advantage of his position to make money. You must know that this is the land of the capital. People like the Wangfu go out, even if they are a servant. It is at least as good as a seventh-rank county magistrate. I am afraid that there will be many people who want to step into this door. It is a fat job to be a guard of the palace. Whoever comes here wants to cling to the prince, without their knowledge. I'm afraid I can't enter this door. Usually, there must be many people who want to give them money, but this guard didn't dare to pay Li Mutian's door money. It can be seen that this King Ji is quite different from other people. The feeling of being detached from the outside world, just such a small matter, made Xu Yi have a lot of affection for this King Ji, and he began to admire him a lot.

He looked at Li Mutian next to him and whispered again: "Now you know why I didn't let you prepare a generous gift! When you see the prince later, don't say that we already know his identity. I don't care about you anymore!"

Li Mutian hurriedly agreed like a chicken pecking rice. At first, he was quite dissatisfied with Xu Yi for not allowing him to prepare a generous gift for the King of Ji. Now it seems that what Xu Yi said is really reasonable. Listen to him It's often true, maybe it's more beneficial for me and Xu Yi to come here empty-handed than to come with a big gift!

After a while, the guard turned around again, and said apologetically: "The young one is just a guard, and the small ones inside cannot go in, but I have already notified the inner palace, and someone will report to the prince. You two have to wait a while, sorry!"

Xu Yi didn't take it seriously at all, and said politely. After all, coming to the palace is not an ordinary place, and it is not a place where everyone can enter. The deep house compound is for sure, just wait for a while.

Sure enough, after the two waited outside the gate for a while, someone came out from inside, and they knew each other at first glance. Isn't this the personal guard who followed King Ji in Hangzhou back then?But now Xu Yi and Li Mutian can't remember his name anymore. At the beginning, he once reprimanded Xu Yi and was kicked out by King Ji. It was for this reason that Xu Yi still remembered his appearance. This person now He was also wearing a brocade suit with a palm-wide belt around his waist, looking very capable. When he saw Xu Yi and Li Mutian, he looked them up and down slightly, his eyes flashed, and he hurried forward and said: " The humble Zhang Hu has seen the two sons, my prince is waiting for you inside, please come in with me!"

Seeing that Zhang Hu was about 30 years old, Xu Yi said very politely: "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, please lead the way, thank you!"

"Don't dare! Please come inside!" Zhang Hu let Xu Yi and Xu Yi into the palace while being polite.

"Our lord was very happy when he heard that the two young masters had arrived. He sent a villain to greet you quickly. The lord will make tea in the back study and wait for you. Please!" Zhang Hu said to Xu Yi and the others while leading the way. Speaking of.

Xu Yi was moved again. It seemed that King Ji was really giving himself face. It might not be so easy for ordinary people to enter here, but if he could come in and let him receive him in the study, it meant that he He values ​​himself very much. You must know that the host generally receives guests in the living room, and those who can be invited into the study are those who are close to him. I and him are just acquaintances. I never thought that I would be able to receive such a courtesy. It is not easy!He didn't regard himself as a big clove of garlic, and hoped that King Ji would come to the gate to greet him in person. To reach this step is already in the sky!
After all, the palace is a palace. There are five courtyards here. It takes a long time to walk by legs. No wonder I waited outside for a quarter of an hour. It was already fast enough. The palace is no better than other places. For the hall, after passing through the side door of the main hall in front, there is a patio every time you enter the back, and the corridors are decorated with colorful paintings everywhere, and those rooms are also carved with lattice windows, which are much more magnificent than ordinary big houses. Under the leadership of Zhang Hu, Yi walked through the long corridor with nine bends and eighteen bends, and finally came to the back yard, but this yard is obviously different from the front one. The front yard is full of flowers and plants, and there are There are rockery streams, but this place has become a playground, surrounded by various weapons such as spears and knives, as well as fitness equipment such as stone locks and barbells. It doesn’t look like a palace here, it’s just like a school ground. After seeing this , Xu Yi showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, this King Ji is really as different as Yiqing said!Hehe, Huizong was good at writing, and he liked to play with writing and ink. Most of his descendants liked it and liked to make some elegant things. Unexpectedly, King Ji didn't like that, but wanted to play martial arts. No wonder Zhao Ji loved it!
While Xu Yi was still thinking about it, a young man greeted him from the room, he laughed and walked out quickly: "Welcome, Mr. Xu made me wait so hard! Why didn't you come to Bianliang until now?" What about me?"

Xu Yi hurriedly pretended to be sincere and fearful, and took a few steps to make a gesture of kneeling to see him, and said in his mouth: "Cao Min Xu Ning sees the lord, please forgive the grass-eyed, I didn't know the identity of the lord last time, how offensive, I also hope that the prince will forgive me!"

Zhao Xu took a few steps to lift Xu Yi up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to be so polite. The last time I saw you, I felt that I was very close to you and regarded you as a bosom friend. Don't alienate us just because of our status. , Besides, those who don’t know are not guilty, from now on, don’t treat me as some kind of prince, just treat me as Mr. Zhao who broke into other people’s rooms in Hangzhou to drink and drink! Ha ha!”

Xu Yi saw that he supported himself, so he stopped kneeling. If he is still not used to kneeling to these nobles, he always feels uncomfortable in his heart, so he just took the opportunity to get off the donkey. Holding fists together was regarded as salutation, but that Li Mutian knelt down and bowed firmly, and then stood up after being waved away by Zhao Xu. The relationship between the three of them naturally showed that they were close.

"Quickly tell me what kind of wind brought you, Mr. Xu, to Bianliang? I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago! Hehe!" Zhao Xu seemed very happy, pulling Xu Yi's arm towards the room Walking inside, his attitude was very friendly, which made Xu Yi forget about being nervous.

Behind him, Zhang Hu accompanied Li Mutian and walked into the house.

(An important person has appeared on the stage, everyone can guess what will happen in the future, but there is no prize for guessing! Haha)
