175. Chapter 175 Accidentally Seen

Xu Gao replied in a positive tone: "As long as I explain to him, Wu Jing will definitely listen to me. Mr. Su. Don't worry, I have been deeply kind and great. I really feel sorry for you. Just listen to me and let Xu Gao feel more at ease."

After hearing what Xu Gao said, Su Qin knew that he was indeed sincere. If he refused again, it would seem inhumane, so Su Qin agreed to Xu Gao. They agreed that in ten days later, Xu Gao would send Wu Jing to pick Su Qin up in a carriage, and then they would set off together.

Su Qin and Xu Gao were drinking and chatting for more than an hour. He stood up and said goodbye. Xu Gao knew that he had something to do and did not try to keep him. He asked Wu Jing to drive a carriage to take Su Qin home.

As soon as Su Qin's carriage arrived at the entrance of the alley, he found an old man staggering towards the depths of the alley. Because the alley was narrow, the carriage was blocked by the old man and could not get through, so he could only follow the old man and slowly move forward.

Su Qin found that the speed of the carriage was slowing down, and he was a little strange. He lifted the curtain and looked out. When he saw the old man, he was shocked. The old man was his father.

Su Qin hurriedly ordered Wu Jing to stop the carriage, and jumped off the carriage by himself, rushed to Su's father, supported him, and said with distress: "No matter how you come, you won't tell us in advance, so we can pick you up too. Look, you are so tired."

Su's father had been traveling for a long time, and his body was indeed unable to bear it. He looked at Su Qin and breathed evenly. He said, "You have been there for a few months. I can't see you. I miss my grandson and my son. I have planned to see you for a long time, but my body is not in charge and I dare not come out and walk around casually."

When Su Qin heard this, he felt very guilty. Since he moved out of his house with anger last time, he had only returned to the Su family compound for three or four times, mainly to visit his father during festivals, and the stay time was particularly short. Since he went back once on the Dragon Boat Festival last time, he has not been back yet.

Su Qin quickly apologized to his father and asked him to forgive him for not fulfilling his filial piety and that the elderly should not be concerned about it.

Su's father said, "Don't go to heart. You all have your own things to be busy with. I can understand this truth, how can you hold your back? I have another particularly important thing for me to come this time."

Su Qin was very surprised. He said "Oh" and asked Su's father: "I don't know what's so important, let you come out and have a trip in person?"

Father Su suddenly became very respectful and pious, and said, "This morning, the emperor of Zhou sent someone to my house to announce that you will come to the palace to meet you. I don't know what urgent matters are there?"

Su's father took a breath and continued, "I said you live in another place. The messenger who proclaimed the imperial edict ordered me to find you quickly and let you enter the palace immediately. Then I came out with this old bone and reported to you."

When Su Qin heard his father say that the Emperor Zhou actually wanted to meet him, he was very surprised. He had no relationship with him. What he did when he saw him? Could it be that his little reputation outside made him interested and wanted to hear his analysis of the general trend of the world?

When Su Qin thought of this, he felt a little proud, and felt that his efforts had finally gained a small gain. He thought to himself: "If the Zhou emperor could persuade the Zhou emperor to adopt the strategy of uniting the eastern princes, it would be a good thing for the Zhou Dynasty, and it would also ensure the safety of the Zhou Dynasty for decades."

Su Qin then sent his father to his residence, let him see his two grandchildren and reunite with his relatives. Then, Su Qin hurried out from his residence, and he ordered Wu Jing, who sent him back, and said, "I want to go to the palace, so you can send me one."

When Wu Jing came out, Xu Gao had already announced to him a brief order to follow and serve Su Qin, so he followed the instructions of his master and obeyed Su Qin. The two of them then rode the carriage towards the Zhou Palace.

Because the construction of the Zhou Dynasty was a bit narrow and dilapidated because of its long-standing construction period. The Zhou emperor wanted to expand it, but it was difficult for the royal family to survive. There was no place for the construction of the royal palace. Therefore, the size of the Zhou emperor's palace was only one-half of that of the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty.

Su Qin came to the palace and thought about it. He decided to go to the back door of the palace because the front door of the palace is usually used for court meetings and ceremonies, so it is more appropriate to go to the back door for daily interviews.

Wu Jing drove the carriage to the north of the palace. He stopped the carriage through the moat. The remaining dozens of feet of road were guarded by the palace guards, and Su Qin needed to walk to pass the level.

Because Su Qin was not sure whether he could see the Emperor Zhou that day, he told Wu Jing to wait for him outside. It was possible that he would come out of the palace soon, and then he would have to trouble Wu Jing to send him home.

Su Qin left Wu Jing outside the moat and waited, got out of the car and walked towards the back door of the palace alone. As soon as he was about to go to the suspension bridge of the moat, he was stopped by the palace guards. Su Qin did not have the token of the palace or the people in the palace, so he could only rely on his 3-inch tongue to explain.

The guards ignored Su Qin at first. They stood there coldly, listening to Su Qin's words without any reaction. Seeing that Su Qin was trying hard to deal with him, Wu Jing remembered what his master Xu Gao often said: "Money can make the devil push the mill." Wu Jing thought that this matter was simple, so just give the guard some benefits!

Seeing Su Qin standing awkwardly outside the suspension bridge, Wu Jing took out a string of money, tied the carriage to the weeping willow tree by the moat, and walked towards the suspension bridge. Wu Jing handed the money to Su Qin and gave him a wink. Su Qin immediately understood. He took the string of money, blocked it with his robe sleeve, and put it in the hands of the guards.

The guards finally understood Su Qin's intention this time. They asked Su Qin to pass through the suspension bridge and wait outside the north gate. Then a guard entered the palace from the side door and went to inform the above.

Half an hour later, a eunuch came out of the palace. He wore a square crown and a bamboo token in his hand, shouting to Su Qin: "The emperor Xuan Su Qin came to the palace to see him, and Su Qin immediately followed me."

Seeing that the eunuch kept looking up, his head raised high, and he didn't even look at him. He felt that the eunuch in the palace was too arrogant and too pretentious.

Su Qin thought they were funny, but on the surface he was silent and followed the arrogant eunuch into the palace. Wu Jing watched Su Qin enter the palace, and then he returned to the carriage with confidence and continued to wait there.
