Chapter 254 Entering the Royal City (Second Update)
The position on the imperial list is a huge signboard. Originally, most of the news posted on it is full of news, such as recruitment, front-line wars, and various announcements of opening stores.
This is the place with the most crowded crowds on several nearby streets. Guo Lin walked like the wind, and in an instant, he came to the sign. Two guards stood on the left and right sides of the sign. His waist was straightened, and a pair of tiger eyes shot through the crowd. When he saw Guo Lin and his eyes paused slightly, he moved away.
The princess not only has generous wealth as a reward, but also will be promoted. It can be said that anyone who sees the conditions on this list will be moved. However, after the emperor executed a few people who were eating and drinking and filling in the numbers, unless there was real material, no one dared to touch this list.
Now this imperial list is no different from the teleportation scroll to hell.
Guo Lin saw a piece of Shang Kingdom font written on yellow paper. The Shang Kingdom font and Xia Kingdom font are basically the same, and Guo Lin recognized it. There is also a red imperial seal on the imperial list, proving that this imperial list was released by the emperor himself.
Guo Lin browsed the general content, Xie Dong basically said everything on the imperial list. Then he walked forward and wanted to reveal it.
"Boy, you have figured it out. Many people who are as impulsive as you or who want to take the opportunity to sneak into the royal city are dead." When Guo Lin tore off the imperial list, the guard next to him reminded coldly.
Guo Lin glanced at him. He was a big man with thick eyebrows, his chin was very clean, he had no beard, and his waist was thicker than that of ordinary people. "Thank you for your kindness." Guo Lin tore off the emperor's list without hesitation.
"Xiaoyun, please post another one. I will take this boy who is overestimating his ability to meet His Majesty, so as not to escape halfway." The thick-browed guard said to the young guard on the other side of the sign.
"Yes, sir." The guard called Xiaoyun agreed, and then looked at Guo Lin gently, as if he was looking at the death row prisoner about to go to the execution ground, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. If he had a line like "What's wrong with exposing it? I'll think it's too long to expose the emperor's list." It would be more vivid to show his contempt for Guo Lin.
The thick-browed man took Guo Lin away, and on the way he met Xie Dong who was rushing to find Guo Lin. "Third brother, are you sure to cure the second princess's illness?" Xie Dong grabbed Guo Lin, and he felt that Guo Lin was reckless.
"No." Guo Lin said simply, but he was still moved by Xie Dong's concern for him.
"You are crazy. You are not sure about the emperor's list. If it cannot be cured within a month, you will be beheaded. Don't look at the old man Mi who is still alive, that is because of his prestige before. If you weren't afraid of killing him, you would never be able to cure the second princess' disease again. The emperor has already taken action."
Xie Dong was really anxious. He didn't want his savior to send his life in a daze. Maybe he was very strong, but Xie Dong felt that once Guo Lin did not cure the second princess, he would definitely not be able to escape the wanted list of the royal family. He was even thinking about how to help Guo Lin escape.
"Mr. Xie. Is he?" The guards recognized Xie Dong. Xie Wuhua was the supreme commander of the Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City Imperial City I
Xie Dong's words made the Thick-Browed Guard stunned. "He is my brother."
Guo Lin said: "Brother Xie, don't worry about me, I'm free. I won't let myself die. Brother, please lead the way."
"Don't dare. Please, sir."
The change was as fast as the disdain for Guo Lin and the respect he had for the moment. Even the guard named Xiaoyun, who was lit up and looked at the distance, was stunned for a moment.
Xie Dong did not persuade Guo Lin in the end, so he had to go home. He wanted to tell Xie Huadong about the matter. He believed that his father, as the leader of the imperial guards in the imperial city, had a better way than himself.
The royal city is located in the center of Jingjing. It covers an area of like a small town. Under the leadership of the Daomiao Guard, Guo Lin walked over a bridge over an artificial moat.
The gate of the royal city was open, at the entrance of the ten meters wide. Guards holding spears stood straight, staring forward with firm eyes.
"Sister Guo." Since he learned that this person was a friend of the son of his big boss Xie Wuhua, the guards dared not neglect. Before entering the royal city, he carefully confirmed, "Walking in, it is impossible to regret it again. Mr. Guo, why don't you think about it again."
Guo Lin said: "Brother Guard, no need. Take me to see the emperor directly. I have my own opinions."
The thick-browed guard sighed, and when he walked in from the door, he raised the imperial list Guo Lin gave him. The guards who were wary of him and immediately gave a military salute with chests and put them in.
When the buildings in the royal city were designed, they were asked to show the majesty of the royal city. As soon as they entered the royal city, a majestic aura came to their faces. If an ordinary person entered the royal city for the first time, his legs would definitely be weak, and even because he was about to see the emperor, he would sweat nervously.
The Dark-Brow Guard secretly observed Guo Lin, but saw that the latter was calm and composed. There was no sign of the above. Suddenly, the last feeling of underestimation in his heart disappeared. He dared to take the imperial list, so he naturally had his own trump card. He was not worried. What am I worried about? It's true. The Dark-Brow Guard said secretly that he was ridiculous.
The royal city, Guo Lin entered a lot of times. However, it was the royal city of Yongyao in Xia Kingdom. Guo Lin remembered that when he was young, the children of the four major families would be recruited into the imperial city by the emperor on the grounds of accompanying the princess. He was also one of them.
Therefore, he had long been accustomed to the so-called royal majesty. After being framed by Zhao Fei and slandered by Zhao Kuo, he had an instinctive rejection of the royal family. Guo Lin thought of a saying in the history books, "Would the emperor, princes, generals, and ministers?" If he had enough power, he could destroy a dynasty at any time. This is Guo Lin's belief now. Therefore, he was not interested in the Emperor Shang Kingdom that he was about to meet.
When Guo Lin and his two men passed the gate guarded by the first team of guards, news about the imperial list was revealed, and it soon spread from the royal city.
It was already past the morning court time, and Guo Lin had not met a civil and military official. Under the guidance of the palace maid, he was taken directly to the emperor's imperial study by the Daimiao Guard. "Your Majesty." He knocked on the door. The Daimiao Guard knelt down respectfully. At the same time, he pulled Guo Lin and signaled him to kneel down too.
The emperor was named Qin Zheng, and a palace maid had already come to report the news to him. But as the king of a country, he could not personally welcome him for Gu Quanzi. Moreover, although he was expecting the people who were about to come, he was more suspicious. It has been three months since. Can anyone cure his daughter's illness? When he saw the young and inconspicuous man in black robe, the doubt became even worse.
Guo Lin did not kneel. After being exiled to the Corrupted Demon Realm, he swore that he would not kneel to anyone except his parents. Even the emperor would do the same.
"No gift." Qin Zheng frowned, but it was Guo Lin's arrogant look that made the emperor have more expectations for him. In the emperor's opinion, Guo Lin was obviously arrogant at this moment. In other words, this seemingly young boy might really have some skills.
"Are you the one who exposed the imperial list?" The majestic voice echoed in the study. The thick-browed guard leaned aside early when the emperor said he was exempted from courtesy.
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"Guo San."
"Do you know, if the second princess cannot be cured?"
"Know."
He is neither humble nor arrogant, neither offends the emperor nor makes himself look humble.
"Very good." Qin Zheng smiled, and his trust in Guo Lin was a little more: "Come."
"I'm here." Outside the house, a palace maid walked in and saluted the emperor.
