Chapter 707 - Where to hide
After about a stick of incense, the door of the palace was opened again, and two people walked out, went straight to Chi Zhongtian and said, "Who is General Chi?"
"That's it." Chi Zhongtian took a step forward and said.
"Your Majesty has an order, please invite General Chi to enter the mansion for a brief explanation. No one else is allowed to enter."
After saying this, Yongmenzi Di became anxious at the side. If he was not allowed in, then wouldn't he have come in vain?
"I......"
"My dear brother, please be patient and don't be impatient." Di, the Yongmen disciple, was about to say a few words when he was stopped by Chi Zhongtian.
Seeing Chi Zhongtian's expression as if he had something in mind, Yongmen Zidi didn't say anything more.
Anyway, since King De has already said that others are not allowed to enter, he will certainly not be able to enter, so he might as well just wait here. After all, he has told Chi Zhongtian what happened, and it would be the same if he was asked to say it.
Soon, Chi Zhongtian followed the two people into the palace.
The palace was very quiet at the moment. After the two people led Chi Zhongtian around for a long time, they stopped in front of a large house with lights on.
At first glance, this place is the inner courtyard, because there are guards wearing armor everywhere, and from time to time, you can hear the sounds of patrolling footsteps.
One of the two people walked quickly to the front of the room and whispered to the guard next to him. The guard didn't say anything, just nodded, and then pushed the door open.
"General Chi, please come inside."
When he walked to the door, Chi Zhongtian was about to enter when a guard next to Leng Buding suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Huh?" Chi Zhongtian turned to glare at him with an unkind look and snorted.
"Wait a moment, we need to check if there is a murder weapon on you."
With that said, the two people stretched out their hands and started touching Chi Zhongtian's upper body downwards.
"roll!"
Chi Zhongtian had never received such "courteous treatment" before. He couldn't hold back his temper. He cursed angrily and then slapped the two guards back a long way.
"Be bold!"
Seeing that something happened here, the surrounding guards quickly gathered around, and the sound of fast and chaotic footsteps was also heard nearby.
"I have never been searched like this when entering or leaving the palace. It seems that the palace of His Highness Prince Deok is not even comparable to the palace. Farewell!"
Chi Zhongtian deliberately shouted something loudly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Just then, a voice came from the house.
Chi Zhongtian smiled calmly on his face, and then stopped.
"Everyone who comes is a guest. Even if you don't like the way this king treats guests, you should at least have a cup of tea before leaving."
"General Chi, please!"
At this time, a woman walked out of the house, walking lightly, and said something to Chi Zhongtian with a smile.
Chi Zhongtian snorted deliberately and then stepped into the door.
After entering, Chi Zhongtian looked in the direction pointed by the woman, and saw a small semicircular arch on the right, with a huge painting inside. At this moment, a man was holding a brush there with his head down.
Draw something.
"The last general, Chi Zhongtian, has met His Highness!" Chi Zhongtian said while standing outside.
"You're welcome, General Chi. Come in and take a seat."
Obviously, this person is the emperor's eldest son, King De.
Chi Zhongtian looked up and was shocked. In his impression, the prince should have a majestic and calm face, just like the emperor. But the man in front of him, although not ugly, was far from majestic and calm.
A thousand miles away.
"Come here, serve some tea." King De put down the brush in his hand and walked out of the painting desk with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he was not polite and immediately sat on the chair.
King De was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sat on the chair.
Soon, the woman just brought over two cups of tea. After putting them down, she smiled at Chi Zhongtian and left immediately.
"I've heard for a long time that General Chi has great martial arts skills. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation." King De said with a smile.
Chi Zhongtian's identity is not a secret at all to King De.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just a rough guy. I acted a little recklessly. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Chi Zhongtian said he was polite, but there was no hint of politeness on his expression.
King De didn't take it too seriously. He was like this. He never got angry easily, let alone showed his feelings easily because of someone's words.
"General Chi, I don't know why you came here late at night?" King De asked straight to the point.
"Reporting to the prince, I am here this time for the sake of my friends." Chi Zhongtian said.
"Oh? About friends? Tell me, which friend is so proud that General Chi comes to see me so late?" King De said with a smile.
"Yongmen Yuhan." Chi Zhongtian said.
After hearing this, King De smiled slightly and said, "I don't understand what General Chi means."
"Your Majesty, I don't like to beat around the bush, and I also hope that Your Majesty can speak frankly." Chi Zhongtian said.
This sentence may sound a bit rude.
"To tell you the truth, haha, yes, Yongmen Yuhan beat my housekeeper, so it is natural for me to bring her into the house." King De said.
"Of course, Yongmen Yuhan has offended your subordinates. You should teach him a lesson. But it's late at night now, and this matter can be big or small. It depends on whether the prince can show his dignity.
." Chi Zhongtian said in a low voice.
"Haha, Chi Zhongtian, you are indeed very courageous. I haven't seen anyone who dares to speak like this in front of me for a long time." King De said quietly.
"My lord, I have no intention of offending you," Chi Zhongtian said.
"Yongmen Yuhan, as the daughter of the Imperial Tutor of the time, was naturally a lady of the family and came from a well-known family. Instead of cultivating his virtues at home, he openly committed murder on the street. If such a thing were to spread, I don't know what others would think.
What about General Chi? What do you think?" King De said with a smile.
Hearing King De's words, Chi Zhongtian suddenly felt shocked.
I heard from people that King De had a gentle temperament, he would never lose his temper with anyone, and he never participated in any disputes in the court. He was known as a good person.
However, after meeting today and chatting with King De for a long time, Chi Zhongtian didn't know why, but he felt vaguely in his heart that King De seemed to have something hidden deep in his heart that would never come out.
Especially the sentence just now was exactly what Yongmen Zidi was worried about, which surprised Chi Zhongtian even more.
