Chapter 388: His Royal Highness King Feng is invited
"......" Xue Jinyi looked at Pu Yangxuan, "Please enter the city at this time?" β
As a result, we will have to delay in Gyeongju again today.
Moreover, I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Feng turned them away yesterday, and when he was about to leave today, he actually sent someone to invite them.
Xue Jinyi took a deep breath, there was another possibility......
She looked at Pu Yangxuan with a firm gaze, no matter which possibility it was, they would face it bravely.
Pu Yangxuan nodded, got out of the carriage, and said, "Uncle Tang invited, I, as a nephew, naturally want to visit." β
The cavalry made a gesture of please, "Then His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please?" However, His Royal Highness King Feng only invited you and the princess, and the people who asked for peace to continue to stay here so as not to rush around and waste energy. β
When the owner of Lou Zhuang heard this, his eyes turned black and he almost fell to the ground.
This still has to toss him for at least half a day and a night!
The cavalry said again: "King Chu, princess, please hurry, His Royal Highness King Feng is very old, and it is not good to let His Highness wait for a long time." β
Pu Yangxuan said in a deep voice: "I need to explain a few words to Ma Shilang, I can't delay much effort." β
The cavalry faced the cold face of the King of Chu, and did not have the slightest fear, "However, His Royal Highness King Feng is waiting for you, so please go with the little ones quickly." β
Xue Jinyi listened to the conversation outside, how did she feel that this would be a Hongmen banquet?
Pu Yangxuan took a deep look at Ma Zhong, at this time, he could only believe in Ma Zhong's ability to do things, and he had to entrust them with this trust and heavy responsibility, so it was a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people.
Ma Zhong arched his hand with a serious face and said: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the lower officials will definitely take care of everything with their colleagues and wait for the King of Chu and the princess to come back." β
"Hmm." Pu Yangxuan nodded to the coachman.
The coachman immediately drove to the cavalry.
The cavalry gestured again respectfully, "The king and princess of Chu, please come with the little ones." β
After saying that, they turned their horses' heads and galloped in the direction of Gyeongju City.
"They don't want to talk much, and it seems that they can only wait until they are outside Gyeongju City." Pu Yangxuan returned to the carriage and said, "The people who secretly protect us are all following." β
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi nodded and asked, "How much do you know about King Feng?" β
"I haven't met thousands of miles away, so I only know about this cousin and grandmother." Puyang Xuan said: "According to my aunt's grandmother, Uncle Tang has been extraordinary since he was a child, but compared with his father, he is a little worse, so in the previous dynasty, the elders in the Puyang clan thought that the position of the patriarch of the next generation should be held by the father, but then you also know what happened, my father fought on the battlefield, so the heavy responsibility of the patriarch was entrusted to Uncle Tang." β
"This ......" Xue Jinyi asked again: "Is there any resentment in Uncle Tang's heart?" β
"Yes, but after sitting firmly in the position of patriarch, I have not been revealed, and I have been trying my best to save money, food, soldiers and horses to support my father." Pu Yangxuan said: "After that, my father established the Great Zhou, and Uncle Tang and most of the clansmen chose to continue to stay in their hometown in Gyeongju to avoid unnecessary disputes within the family. In order to commend Uncle Tang's strong support, his father conferred on him the title of prince and gave him the official position of Gyeongju Assassin. β
Xue Jinyi nodded, "In this way, Uncle Tang still puts the interests of the Puyang clan first. β
"That's true, that's what my aunt said. However, now that Uncle Tang is old, he is afraid that he will not be able to do his job and his mind will be chaotic, which will give people a chance. β
He refers to Chang Li, this person harbors evil intentions, they are far away in the capital, who knows how they will flatter King Feng and do any bad things.
That Zhuang Erlang's thing is one thing.
And they encountered artificially broken trees blocking the road halfway, plus Gyeongju suddenly closed the city, whether these things were the intention of King Feng or Chang Li's doing, they are not sure now.
Pu Yangxuan said: "The matter has come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time." β
"Yes." Xue Jinyi grabbed Pu Yang Xuan's arm and rested her head on his shoulder, "But that is Gyeongju, the hometown of the Puyang clan, those people should not dare to make a move in the city, otherwise King Feng's face will not be bright?" β
"But I am also afraid that some people will be extremely vicious and unscrupulous." Pu Yangxuan clenched Xue Jinyi's hand, "No matter what, we can't leave each other." β
"Well, I'll stick to you tightly, so I can't let you leave me half a step!" Xue Jinyi smiled brightly.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the gate of Gyeongju City.
Pu Yangxuan lifted the curtain open a small gap and peeked at the situation outside with Xue Jinyi.
Today, the gates of Gyeongju are wide open, the soldiers guarding the gates are lined up in an orderly manner, and the people who enter and leave the city all look natural, talking and laughing, as if they have never experienced the spies who have infiltrated the city and plotted against them.
Because of the cavalry leading the way, their carriage was not inspected in any way, and they easily passed through the city gate and went straight to the Fengwang Mansion.
"The people who are secretly protecting us can also come in." Pu Yangxuan looked at the city gate behind, and the soldiers only checked the passers-by, but they all checked them one by one, "It seems that either all the spies have been caught, or yesterday's incident is fake." β
Xue Jinyi shook her head helplessly, "But we can't show any dissatisfaction with this matter in front of King Feng." β
"Yes."
All the way from the city gate to the Fengwang Mansion, Puyang Xuan carefully observed the situation on the side of the street, thinking that it was the hometown of the royal family, so it was also quite prosperous and lively here, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and there were also hawkers carrying flat shoulders and selling goods along the street, but the merchants were also like the east and west markets in the capital, all gathered in the designated market, and the streets were all high walls, so there was no need to worry about someone hiding in the house.
"Do you want a change of clothes?" Pu Yangxuan asked.
Xue Jinyi straightened out the men's clothes on her body, which was borrowed from the officials, and the original size was a little ill-fitting, but she rolled up her sleeves and tied her waist with a belt, and after a little tidying, it also looked neat.
"No, that's fine." Xue Jinyi stretched out her hand and patted Pu Yangxuan's placket, "As long as it's clean and tidy, it's not rude." β
Pu Yangxuan touched her cheek, and her eyes were full of doting.
The cavalry stopped in front of King Feng's Mansion, dismounted and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, King Feng's Mansion has arrived." β
Pu Yangxuan said: "I'll go down first." β
"Okay."
Xue Jinyi watched Pu Yangxuan take the lead in stepping on the wheel, and raised her eyes to look at the gate of King Feng's Mansion.
Compared with the Chu Palace, it is also a prince, but the faΓ§ade of the Feng Wangfu is extremely magnificent, and even the stone lion at the door is majestic, and it seems that it may jump up at any time and pounce on the person who is plotting against him, biting the throat of the person.
"Welcome to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
A male voice sounded, attracting Pu Yangxuan's attention, and he lowered his eyes to see that it was a man who looked like a fox.
"You ......"
The fox man arched his hand embarrassedly, "It's the negligence of the lower official, the lower official is the governor of Gyeong, Shi Changli." β
