Chapter 751: Assassin?
"Grandpa!"
At the main gate of the East Palace, the guards saw Li Yi and hurriedly bowed down.
"Yes!"
Li Yi casually agreed, and asked casually, "Is Your Highness here?" β
"His Royal Highness has been waiting for Grandpa, His Highness specially instructed that if Grandpa comes, he can go in directly!"
Li Yi nodded and was about to go in.
However, as soon as Li Yi moved, the guard hugged his fists and said, "Grandpa, I don't know who this one is next to you?" β
Li Yi has a special identity, and he doesn't need to be notified when he enters the palace, and the East Palace is naturally no exception. But Aoki is different, although he is Li Shimin's personal guard, but he has always been mysterious, and there are very few people who have seen him, even if Li Yi brings it, the guards have to be routinely checked.
"This is my deputy, what? Can't get in? β
Li Yi's tone was flat, but the guards guarding the door were scared enough, they knew Li Yi's identity, and they didn't dare to embarrass Li Yi if they killed them, but they didn't dare not check the East Palace, otherwise if something went wrong, no one would be responsible.
The two guards were sweating in a hurry, and they were about to report, but they saw that Aoki, who had been indifferent, suddenly threw out a token, and the guards instinctively took it, looked down, and were suddenly startled, hurriedly bowed down, returned the token to Aoki with both hands, and said: "I don't know the general is here, Tang suddenly pointed out, please forgive me!" β
Li Yi's mouth opened slightly, he was very surprised, he knew that Aoki had a special identity, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, the guards of the East Palace were very arrogant, if it weren't for the particularly high official position, they would never be like this, you know, the seven-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's door, let alone the guards of the East Palace?
Glancing at Aoki meaningfully, Li Yi turned his head, looked at the guards, and said lightly: "Is it okay now?" β
"Grandpa, please!"
The two guards lowered their heads and laughed together, and their postures were very low.
Li Yi shook his hand, walked in with one hand behind his back, and walked in with his head held high.
"Whew, it's dangerous!"
After Li Yi left, the guard who had seen the token wiped his sweat and looked like he was the rest of his life.
"Brother Sheng'er, who is that? How do you scare you like this? β
The other, younger squire teased.
"Hmph, you don't know it's because you have no beads!"
"That's it, the little brother came to the ramp for the first time, and he didn't understand the rules, so I asked my brother to teach me!"
The guard was very satisfied with the young guard's attitude, snorted coldly, and then explained: "I tell you, if you want to guard this door, you must have eyesight, for us, the most important thing is to be familiar with the token, you know, this is the prince's East Palace, usually people who come here, there are any identities, and what kind of tokens are available, you must have a good eyesight, however, with our identity, you don't need to remember too much, you just need to remember some special people and tokens."
Just like Li Gong who went in just now, he is a real big man, don't look at him young, he is a real founding county prince, and he also has a second-grade official position, if he stomps his feet, the whole Chang'an will have a big earthquake. Moreover, he is still a big celebrity by His Majesty's side, and he doesn't need a token to enter and exit the palace, let alone the East Palace, so when you see him in the future, you must not rush into him, otherwise, no one will be able to save you! β
The young guard's heart was shocked, and his face was full of horror: "He is the Jade Qilin?" Tsk, that's amazing, I've heard of his name, but I didn't expect him to have such a high status. β
"Hmph, okay, you just know these things, don't spread the word, let me tell you, it's better for us to talk less about big people like Li Gong, so as not to get trouble out of the mouth."
"Yes, the younger brother knows, by the way, brother Sheng'er, what about the person next to him?"
"Him?" A hint of jealousy flashed in Brother Sheng'er's eyes. "He can't be provoked, boy, you have to remember that there are people in this world who are not famous, but they are definitely not something you can provoke. Just like the man just now, I have been on duty in the East Palace for five years, but I have never seen him, but the token he took out can pass anywhere unimpeded, including the harem! β
"Hiss~!"
The young guard's eyes are about to pop out, he has been guarding the door for a few months, and he has seen a lot of tokens, which are generally specially made, and can only pass through special places, he has also seen such unobstructed tokens, but very few, and there are special cases for that token, such as the palace, there are fewer tokens that can be unimpeded in the palace, let alone the harem, so far, he has not seen a sign that can pass through the harem arbitrarily appear on a man, unless he is a eunuch!
"Brother Sheng'er, is he ......?"
"Be careful!" Brother Sheng snorted. "It doesn't matter what his identity is, you remember, the person who can have this kind of token must not be provoked, otherwise, he will definitely die!"
The young guard suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and Nuo Nuo didn't dare to speak!
......
On the other hand, Li Yi was also curious about Aoki's token.
"Tsk, I can't see it, you still have this kind of token?"
"Broken copper and iron, don't care!"
Aoki's tone was cold, and because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see his face, but listening to his tone, he knew that there must be an ice cube face behind the mask.
Li Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Don't you pretend you can die? Still broken copper and iron? Or I'll give you a tael of silver, and you'll sell it to me. β
"I'm not short of money!"
"If you don't dare to sell, you won't dare to sell!"
"Childish!"
Li Yi was suddenly furious, and when he met such a superb subordinate, he estimated that he would be angry to death sooner or later.
"You're a rat who doesn't dare to see people, and you still call me naΓ―ve?"
"I have already said it before, if you want to see my true face, you can do it at any time!"
"Don't provoke me, if you have a kind of mask!"
However, Aoki suddenly stopped behind his hands, stretched his head forward, and looked at Li Yi fixedly, looking like he was picking up.
Li Yi was uncomfortable and couldn't help but shiver.
"Yes, you're amazing!"
Gritting his teeth, Li Yi resisted his impulse, he felt that it was better to go with the flow, but for Aoki, he didn't want to forget about it, if he didn't rectify him well, Li Yi estimated that he would not have a good life in the future.
Li Yi walked forward silently, while planning all kinds of "poisonous schemes" in his heart, and let out a sneer from time to time, which made Aoki's eyes change after him, and for some reason, he actually had a bad premonition in his heart.
Aoki looked at Li Yi fixedly, his eyes were very complicated.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and it didn't take long to walk to the main hall, however, what Li Yi was puzzled about was that he walked all the way, although there were guards everywhere, and there were eunuchs and maids walking by from time to time, but Li Yi always felt that the entire East Palace was a little quiet and terrible, he always felt that he was being targeted, but he didn't feel any danger in his heart, this feeling was very strange.
It wasn't until he came to the main hall that this feeling became even stronger, and Li Yi suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly cold.
However, at this moment, a flash of sword light flashed and stabbed straight towards Li Yi.
