Chapter 551: Entering the Royal Treasury (3)
Translator: 549690339
Xu Bai felt uncomfortable being called to the palace by a eunuch. It was as if he had to go through that procedure to enter the palace. Of course, he knew that it was just his imagination.
“Thank you for leading the way, Eunuch Wei.” “I want to bring Ye Zi, is that okay?” Xu Bai said.”
Eunuch Wei nodded.” But His Majesty didn’t specify the number of people. Of course you can.””
Xu Bai looked at Liu Xu and was about to call her in.
To be able to meet the Emperor and get to know him, it would be extremely easy for Liu Xu’s future path.
Liu Xu was stunned for a moment before she instantly understood. She hurriedly said, “Xu Bai, I won’t be going. I’m just here to convey a message for the Academy. If you have time, you can go to the Academy.”
Xu Bai frowned.” Just to pass on this message, you’re leaving right away?
Liu Xu nodded.” The Heaven Inspectorate is especially busy. I can’t stay for long. If you still dont come over, I can only ask Miss Ye Zi to convey this message on my behalf.’”‘
“Alright then.” Xu Bai sighed.” I wanted to go to Spring Rain Pavilion with you.
After all, I’ve visited it before. What a pity…”
Liu Xu’s face was covered by a veil, so her expression could not be seen. However, she felt Eunuch Wei’s gaze on her. Her forehead and ears instantly turned red as she said angrily,”lt’s been so long since we last met, and your mouth is still unforgiving. I’ve already said what I want to say.”
As she spoke, Liu Xu nodded and left.
However, halfway through, she turned around and took out a slightly warm book from her pocket, handing it to Xu Bai.
“Xu Bai, you must remember what I’m going to say next.”Liu Xu’s eyes were extremely serious.” Jianghu is very chaotic. I brought this disguise technique from the Academy. It’s even more advanced than mine. You must learn it. After all, having an additional identity can protect you in many ways.”
In the past, Xu Bai had asked for it from her, and now it was truly handed over to Xu Bai.
However, this book was even more exquisite.
Xu Bai looked at the progress bar on the book and patted Liu Xu’s shoulder.””lf you have any difficulties, just look for me.”
Liu Xu nodded. In the end, she gritted her teeth and left.
After Liu Xu left, Eunuch Wei sighed.
“Back then, I was also one of the most popular people in the martial arts world.
I didn’t expect things to remain the same but people have changed.”
“Lord Xu is young and talented. He indeed has many female confidants, but remember not to be greedy for women to avoid delaying your cultivation.”
“In the past, my strength could only be considered above average. However, ever since I lost that thing, it has soared all the way. That thing is indeed a bumpy road that hinders men from climbing up…”
“Lord Xu, you have to restrain yourself…”
Xu Bai put his hand on his forehead. He didn’t want to say anything more, so he changed the topic.”Eunuch Wei, please lead the way.”
Only then did Eunuch Wei realize that he had said something wrong. He did not say anything more and led the way in front.
With Eunuch Wei leading the way, the journey was naturally smooth. Soon, Xu Bai arrived at the resplendent Imperial City.
Standing at the gate of the Imperial City, Xu Bai raised his head and looked around. He couldn’t help but praise the grandeur in his heart.
There were a few armored soldiers guarding the door. When they saw Eunuch Wei, these soldiers did not stop them at all and quickly let them go.
After passing through the towering city gate, Xu Bai finally saw what the true twists and turns were.
The alleys were uneven and crisscrossed. As Eunuch Wei walked, he introduced them to Xu Bai, telling him what palaces were here and what halls were there. Xu Bai listened to them and responded from time to time.
Some soldiers patrolled past. It seemed that the patrols in the Imperial City were very loose, and it took a long time before they could meet a team.
Xu Bai did not believe that the patrols in the Imperial City were so lax. He guessed that there must be people hiding in the dark. After all, this was where the Emperor lived.
Of course, Eunuch Wei didn’t mention such a secret, and Xu Bai didn’t ask either. It was fine as long as he knew it in his heart.
The two of them walked for about two hours before they finally arrived in front of a very majestic hall.
“This is His Majesty’s royal study. His Majesty uses this place to receive his close ministers.”Eunuch Wei pushed open the door and gestured for him to enter.
Xu Bai cupped his fists and walked in. Eunuch Wei closed the door from the outside. It was obvious that he didn’t want to go in.
Ye Zi also followed behind Xu Bai, her face filled with curiosity. This was also her first time coming to the Imperial City.
With her status, she might be captured even if she were to stroll around the city gate, let alone enter.
Xu Bai walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a figure in an imperial robe sitting on a chair, looking down at the memorial.
The man in the yellow robe was handsome and looked strong. Even though he had his head lowered, his back was still straight, giving off an inexplicable noble aura.
Seemingly having sensed Xu Bails arrival, the Chu Emperor didn’t raise his head, Instead, he continued to read the memorials as he spoke.
“Minister Xu, find a place to sit first. I will only be free after I have finished approving these memorials. Sigh, there have been many disasters in many places recently…”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Xu Bai bowed.”
In Great Chu, there was no such etiquette as kneeling between the monarch and his subjects.
If there was a need to kneel, it would only be if the subject had made a mistake.
At that time, the etiquette of kneeling was indeed very popular in Gale Country. However, after it was overthrown by Great Chu, the etiquette was also overthrown.
In the emperor’s words, it was concise and to the point–I walked out of extreme hardship in order to save the people from suffering.. Why should I use the etiquette of the old era?
