Chapter 1356: Visitors from Dragon Capital, Diplomatic Team (Part 2)
Along with the Forbidden Palace envoy leading the way, we walked straight through the hanging garden of the palace.
Xue Yun tossed and turned all the way and finally arrived at the main hall of the palace meeting hall.
Before I could get closer, I saw a group of old acquaintances gathered in front of the door chatting.
"Haha, Lao Xue!"
He quickly opened his arms.
Hu Kui, dressed in military uniform with a cigarette in his mouth, rushed up and gave Xue Yun a big bear hug.
"You kid, you seem to be living a pretty good life alone in the imperial city, eating and drinking hot food!"
"Haha, don't mention it..."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Xue Yun shook his head helplessly and said: "I never worry about food and drink, but being stared at by these followers every day is no different from being in jail. Why don't you give it a try? I'm sure you won't be able to stay even for a day."
Go down."
As soon as these words came out.
The several Forbidden Palace envoys who were on guard around him quickly turned their heads.
As the saying goes, hitting someone is not a slap in the face.
Under the watchful eye of the public, these envoys of the Forbidden City who were ordered to do things were sarcastically mocked as followers.
This means that if Xue Yun dares to be so presumptuous, anyone else would definitely be targeted.
Hear the words.
Hu Kui, who had come from afar, was a little embarrassed, so he had no choice but to smile heartily and choose not to dwell on this sensitive topic.
He drooped his eyelids.
Xue Yun looked behind Hu Kui and after scanning around, he realized that except for a few accompanying guards from the War Readiness Department, there was no one else around.
"Where's that guy Zhao Tianyi?"
Frowning.
Xue Yun quickly asked in a deep voice: "I still remember that he said that he would come to the Imperial City with you to meet me..."
"Hey, don't mention it!"
He took a long drag on his cigarette.
Hu Kui shook his head and sighed: "That guy originally came into the city with me, but he was invited away by the "Scientific Research Department" on the way, saying that he was asked to help analyze some bullshit skin samples...
....”
As soon as these words came out.
This immediately aroused Xue Yun's vigilance.
The "Scientific Research Department" of the Daxia Empire is notorious.
This department exists to secretly develop the application of biotechnology, and secretly conducts various brutal human experiments.
The original Yu Wentai and Shen Tuchuan who stayed in the palace with the bald man were all experimental subjects who came out of that ghost place.
This guy Zhao Tianyi is really annoying. When did he get involved with those guys?!
Secretly I felt something was wrong.
But now that the matter has come to this, Xue Yun has no way to drag the guy back immediately.
We can only maintain the status quo first, take it one step at a time and see what happens next.
"Everyone."
An envoy from the Forbidden Palace walked up to the two of them and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Please come into the palace and take a seat to rest for a while. Your Majesty is handling some official business and will see you all later."
"Your Majesty?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Hu Kui looked surprised and said: "Which prince is here? His Majesty is someone else. Why isn't he here to receive us?"
After repeated questioning, what they received was the silence of the Forbidden Palace envoys.
Obviously.
So far, the information about Xuanyuan Longcheng's abduction has not been officially made public.
People outside have no idea about this at all.
As a prince in the fortress city, Hu Kui was a key target of the royal family's guard. It was impossible for him to learn such a shocking secret in the first time.
Hesitated for a moment.
In front of the envoy of the Forbidden Palace, Xue Yun put his arm around Hu Kui's shoulder and quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk after we go inside. Lunch time is coming soon. Let's chat while we eat!"
A group of Forbidden Palace envoys exchanged glances and immediately followed closely behind.
that's all.
Under the deliberate arrangement of the Forbidden Palace envoy, Xue Yun and Hu Kui's seats were separated far apart, as if they were separated by more than half the distance of the palace, like fateful mandarin ducks.
"Good guy..."
He frowned suddenly.
Hu Kui was a little annoyed. He gritted his teeth and roared: "What do you guys want to do? Have you arranged the seats like this? Why don't we have a loudspeaker for each of us at such a long distance?"
How the hell are we still chatting?!"
Facing protests from the Lord of Longdu City.
The envoys of the Forbidden Palace simply chose to remain silent, standing straight on both sides of the hall, with their hands unified behind their backs, looking iron-clad.
"No problem!"
He raised his voice and shouted.
Xue Yun picked up the drink on the table, raised it high above his head, and shouted in a deep voice: "Old Hu, let me propose a toast to you first. This is the rule of the Imperial City and Hudu. You have to do as the Romans do and force yourself to get used to it!
"
"The bullshit rules are simply inexplicable..."
He threw away the burned cigarette butt.
Hu Kui curled his lips, raised his head in desperation and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Under the instruction of the envoy of the Forbidden Palace, the maids coming and going began to be busy, and various delicacies were put on the table one after another. It was a dazzling array of things to eat.
After three rounds of drinking.
There was still no sign of Xuanyuan Zhong's arrival. Everyone present had already had their fill of wine and food, and all of them began to feel a little impatient.
"Oh, I'll go!"
The chopsticks in his hands kept fidgeting with the dishes on the plate.
Hu Kui narrowed his eyes, held up his chin with one hand, and asked impatiently: "Let me tell you, is the prince coming or not? After such a long time, even taking a nap and bathing and changing clothes is enough, right?"
?”
"Please be patient, City Master Hu, for a moment..."
The leader of the Forbidden Palace envoy was serious in speech and responded in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is busy with everything, and there are indeed important things on his mind. You can just have a drink for a while."
Silently rolled his eyes.
Looking at Xue Yun in the distance, he saw that the other party was winking at him. The two exchanged glances in the distance, and Hu Kui immediately understood.
"That's unreasonable!"
A snap~~
Slapping the case fiercely, Hu Kui pretended to explode and shouted in a deep voice: "I, on behalf of Longdu, came all the way to the imperial city, not to waste time drinking and eating. As for the missing prince, who is your majesty now?"
Wherever you are, I want to see your Majesty right now!"
Following Hu Kui's rage, dozens of guards from the Longdu War Preparation Department also stood up and stared at the Forbidden Palace envoy in the hall with unkind expressions.
As for Xue Yun, he smiled coldly and continued to enjoy the fine wine and food by himself, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"City Lord Hu, you have such a big air..."
A cold voice suddenly came from the side hall.
The next moment——
Surrounded by many Forbidden Palace envoys, a middle-aged man in official robes stepped out.
Surprisingly, it was Lin Zerong, who was the center of the Coordination Office and the general manager of the Forbidden Palace at that time.
