Chapter 2 The Noble Slave
The road to the North Country was long. Gu Jingxu got on the carriage to the North Country and never thought about turning back. Sitting in the carriage, he was deeply worried. After leaving the city gate, he opened the curtains of the carriage and took a look outside.
I took one last look at the city gate.
"Jing Xi, brother Huang, I hope you live well. At least no one in the southern country dares to touch you."
Sighing deeply, he retracted his hand and lowered the curtain.
The carriage traveled for about ten days and finally arrived at the imperial city of the Northern Kingdom. The Northern Kingdom was different from the Southern Kingdom in that it was surrounded by green mountains and green waters. The Southern Kingdom had a gentle terrain, but it was a smooth river.
The Imperial City of the North Kingdom is located on a green mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is the land of the Imperial City. It is like a prison. Once you enter, there is no way back.
The moment he stepped out of the carriage, he saw the imperial city on the top of the mountain. However, after taking a quick look, someone came to meet him. The person was holding a golden chain in his hand. The chain was heavy. As he walked, he made a sound.
There was a sound of collision, and the man stood still in front of him.
"Your Highness Jingxi, this is a gift from our Majesty to Your Highness."
Gu Jingxu lowered his eyebrows, looked at the chain, and smiled, "Your Highness is really polite."
The person holding the chain did not speak, but silently locked the chain on Gu Jingxi's hand. The golden lock was very heavy, and Gu Jingxu was really very lucky at this moment. It was him who came to this northern country to be a hostage, not his guy.
A younger brother who cries miserably when something happens.
He was taken to the imperial palace. The palace in the north was not as luxurious and glorious as the south, but it was extremely majestic. When he stepped into the hall, he saw the man sitting on the throne at a glance. Was he Su Yanzhi?
, younger than Gu Jingxu imagined.
A handsome face, cold and thin, his eyes are covered by the glass beads on the front of his hair, the black glass beads are shining brightly, the eyes hidden behind are sharp and low, black gold Xuanyi, luxurious silk and satin, he is sitting sideways on the throne.
On top of the seat, he glanced at Gu Jingxu and said, "A person sent from the South Country?"
After asking in a low voice, someone stood up from behind Gu Jingxu, "Your Majesty, this is the Second Highness of the Southern Kingdom, Gu Jingxi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in red stood up, with his back to Gu Jingxi. His face could not be seen clearly, but his voice was deep and powerful.
"Your Majesty, the Second Highness of the Southern Kingdom has just arrived and does not know the etiquette of the Northern Kingdom. Why don't you ask me to teach him the six etiquettes of the Northern Kingdom, and then come to see Your Majesty after he is well trained."
Gu Jingxu: "······"
Are you here to teach him? I'm afraid you're here to torture him. At first glance, this person doesn't have any good intentions.
"Uncle, I'm serious. This is also the Second Highness of the Southern Kingdom. How could he not know the etiquette?"
Suddenly, the person on the throne stood up. He slowly walked down the steps and walked in front of Gu Jingxi. The two stood opposite each other. Suddenly, he spoke, "Aren't you going to kneel down?
You have to kneel down when you see someone of high status, this is etiquette."
"Don't kneel."
Gu Jingxu frowned, but did not move. Regardless of his identity or status, he should not kneel to the person in front of him, because behind him was Nanguo, and he had to stand. While he was silent, his firm eyes represented
All.
Su Yanzhi lowered his eyebrows. He understood Gu Jingxu's sharp eyes. He smiled soothingly between his eyebrows, leaned back a little, took a sword from the right side, turned the sword in his hand, and withdrew.
After picking up the hilt of the sword, he walked up to Gu Jingxu and stabbed the leg with his sword.
"Hmm..."
The person who was stabbed took a deep breath, and blood immediately appeared between his legs. After Su Yanzhi pulled out the sword indifferently, he pressed Gu Jingxu's shoulder, then his body trembled, and he knelt down on one knee.
In front of Su Yanzhi.
"Look, isn't it good to kneel down?" As he spoke, he wiped the blood on his sword with his hand, turned around and looked at the man who had just spoken, "Uncle, the emperor helps me, working day and night on state affairs, this teaching is
If you have something to do, don’t bother your uncle."
Smiling, he threw away the sword in his hand and waved his long sleeves, "Retreat from the court. I'm tired. Won't the emperor help me review the memorials when he gets back? Then I'll trouble you to review the memorials with him in the past few days. I'll teach you."
