Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 380 Emperor? You are just a wild dog under my teacher's feet

Chu Pingsheng said to the white ape: "Hold the sword and wait for me here."

"Roar, roar."

Eunuch Hou added, "I see it was injured in the battle with General Ye's men. Should we order the Imperial Hospital to come and treat it?"

Chu Pingsheng said: "Is it injured? Why didn't I see it?"

"Look at the one on the right..."

Eunuch Hou was just about to point to the wound caused by a spear sweeping across Lanling Prince when he was swinging his sword to cut off the arrows, but when he glanced over, he couldn't find the place where the fur was turned outward.

"Hey, why do I remember it..."

"You remembered wrong."

Chu Pingsheng said this calmly and left first.

The Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi and the chief eunuch suppressed their frightened mood and hurried to catch up.

After Chu Pingsheng left, no one cared about Lanling King, not only because it stood motionless in front of the palace gate, but also because no one dared. Today, this monkey killed almost all of Ye Zhong's personal soldiers with a sword. No one would object to saying that it is the most handsome and violent boy in Kyoto.

It didn't open its obsidian eyes until Yan Xiaoyi passed by with a longbow made of ordinary material and shape and several palace guards. The hilt of the Zhanlu sword gently hit the scabbard as it was fiddled with by its fingers, causing Xin Qiwu, who was talking to two local officials under the palace wall, to blink wildly.

He had a hunch about this. If Chu Pingsheng hadn't told it to wait here patiently, it might have already drawn its sword against Yan Xiaoyi.

Both the man and the monkey exuded murderous intent, and the seventh-rank guards behind them felt uneasy. It was not until they entered the main gate of the palace that they felt better.

At this time, a person from the Supervisory Council came forward, and Yan Xiaoyi whispered: "Go check whether there is a tribe called Zhuhua among the tribes of the Western Hu, and whether there is a name called Chu Pingsheng..."

The people from the Supervisory Council nodded and left quickly.

At this time, Ye Zhong walked over and thanked him: "Commander Yan, I have to thank you for your help before."

"General Ye, you were very close to Chu Pingsheng at that time. Do you know what rank he was?"

"Well... he didn't attack yet, so it's hard to judge, but judging from the way he dodged your arrow, he has at least an eighth-grade combat power."

"Eighth grade?" Yan Xiaoyi frowned, his eyes drooped, and he fell into deep thought.

Although the people of the Xihu tribe are brave and good at fighting, especially cavalry, their individual combat power has always been low. According to the information obtained by the Supervisory Council, there are not many seventh-grade strongmen. It is really surprising that such a young eighth-grade strongman has been born. Moreover, the white ape is even more terrifying. It is at the ninth grade, and with the weird-shaped black sword, it actually defeated Ye Chong.

You have to know that Ye Chong and he are equally powerful. Apart from the deceased Hong Sixiang, the shadow of the Sixth Department of the Supervisory Council and the military boss Qin Ye, they are already the two strongest people in Kyoto City.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? If a person like this appears in Xihu, the best option is to mobilize the Tiger Guards and the Red Cavalry to surround and annihilate him."

"..." Ye Zhong didn't say anything.

……

On the other side, Chu Pingsheng, led by Hou Zhigang, entered the imperial study and saw Emperor Qing Li Yunqian, who was wearing a plain robe with wide sleeves, had a pale face, and was holding an old, yellowed bamboo slip in his hand.

This is normal. The Empress Dowager has passed away. Even if he is not heartbroken, he has to pretend to be sad.

After the father-in-law goes down.

Li Yunqian put the bamboo slips back on the shelf, walked up to him, looked him up and down, and said casually, "Well, you look very young. Is your master Bai Feng?"

Three days ago, Chu Pingsheng attacked Hanguang Palace at night. He was masked with black cloth from beginning to end, and his voice was concealed by ventriloquism, disguising himself as a fifty-year-old man. Today, he slightly disguised himself based on his original appearance, and looked like a young man in his early twenties. It was normal that Li Yunqian could not see any problem.

He neither knelt nor bowed, but simply clasped his fists and said, "That's right."

Li Yunqian didn't know what this etiquette was, but he thought it was the etiquette of the Zhuhua tribe, so he didn't blame it.

"As your master said, he is a hot-tempered fellow. He has been causing trouble for me since he came to Kyoto."

"That's all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Li Yunqian naturally didn't believe his lies. He took two steps on the shiny ground with his hands behind his back. The soles of his old cloth shoes squeaked. "We have fought with Qing Kingdom for so many years and have suffered defeats. Now the left and right wise kings don't take the Chanyu lineage seriously... Many people are holding their breath. For today's matter, just consider it as me giving your master a favor and letting you show off your power."

"..."

What?

Does this work too?
Chu Pingsheng thought to himself, I am here just to cause trouble. I have never thought about breaking into the capital of Qing, showing off my power and prestige, as the emperor of Qing, you must not become a Dihua.

Li Yunqian asked again: "The white ape outside the palace gate was left by your master to protect you?"

"Yes."

Li Yunqian stopped talking, just paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, tapping the palm of his left hand repeatedly with his hooked right index finger.

His impression of Bai Feng... added a bit of mystery.

What kind of means could actually teach a beast to become a ninth-grade master?

The imperial study was seven or eight meters high from the ground to the roof. At this moment, neither of them spoke, and an atmosphere that was so depressing that it made people feel suffocated spread.

After a long while, Li Yunqian turned around and said, "You are here to study, and you are also a foreign envoy. I will appoint you as a Chengfenglang. You can freely enter and leave the Imperial College, read various classics, history books, and audit various courses."

"How many grades?"

"From the eighth rank."

"Too low."

Li Yunqian frowned: "It's not low. Don't forget, you are just a visiting scholar."

“……” Chu Pingsheng said nothing, just looked at him.

"Then give it to the servant."

"How many grades?"

"Eighth rank."

“Still low.”

"Are you bargaining with me?"

"You can try giving official positions like Yun Zhilan, the first disciple of Si Gu Jian, and Lang Tao, the first disciple of Ku He, to see if they will pay attention to you."

Li Yunqian moved one of his hands behind his back to the front of his body, approached Chu Pingsheng, until they were less than a foot away, stared into his eyes and said, "Then what rank do you want me to give you?"

"It has to be at least the fifth rank."

"You are so arrogant. You killed my subjects in the street on your first day in Qing Kingdom, and you still want me to make you a fifth-rank official?"

"According to what your majesty said, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Is that what I said?"

Chu Pingsheng closed his eyes slightly and said word by word: "Yes, you said it."

Li Yun took a half step back.

"Okay, I will make you the Imperial Court Doctor."

He did not define "misunderstanding", but it was a collusion between Hou Zhigang and Chu Pingsheng. However, if he wanted to convince all officials of today's incident, he could only use the excuse of "misunderstanding" to make a big deal out of a small matter. As long as he said "it was all a misunderstanding" at the court meeting in a few days, no one would dare to make a fuss about it in the future.

"The Imperial College is not enough. I also need to participate in all the foreign affairs activities of the Honglu Temple in the future."

"You're just a student."

"I'm not here to read dead books."

Li Yunqian took another half step back, and moved his other hand, which was behind his back, to his chest. He put his hands in his sleeves and looked up and down at the young man who was defined by Bai Feng as reckless and arrogant.

He is talking about the white ape!
The Honglu Temple is the institution that handles various foreign affairs activities between the Kingdom of Qing and its neighboring forces. There are many tribes in the west, and there are usually many conflicts. In order to unite the loose forces, diplomatic lobbying is an indispensable means. Chu Pingsheng not only knows what his goal is, but also knows what needs to be done to achieve it.

"I will confer upon you the title of Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple. You can attend all foreign affairs activities of the Honglu Temple and have the right to discuss matters, but not the right to make decisions."

Li Yunqian's tone... is a little off.

Chu Pingsheng was stunned for a moment before he thought of a possibility. Didn't Emperor Qing complicate a simple issue again? He wanted to participate in the foreign affairs activities led by the Honglu Temple. In essence, he wanted to cut into the famous scenes of the plot and stir up trouble. It had nothing to do with the political considerations of unifying the various tribes of the Western Hu.

"Thank you... Your Majesty Emperor Qing."

Of course, he would not be honest enough to explain his original intention.

"Okay, I'm tired. You can go down now. The people from the Honglu Temple will take you to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

Li Yunqian waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

Chu Pingsheng stood still.

"Do you... have anything else to do?"

"Your Majesty has not yet arranged a marriage for the foreign envoy."

Li Yunqian quickly turned around, pointed at him and said, "When did I say I would arrange a marriage for you?"

Chu Pingsheng raised his arms and turned his body to reveal his plain black and white clothes.

"According to Eunuch Hou, it was His Majesty who insisted that the envoys wear such clothing."

"The Empress Dowager passed away, and it was a time of national mourning in Daqing. All foreign envoys wore plain clothes to show respect. This is the most basic etiquette."

"But our tribe believes in a religion called 'Taoism'. In Taoist teachings, black represents yin and white represents yang. The combination of yin and yang symbolizes the union of man and woman. Such clothing is only worn on two occasions: one is when announcing the engagement to relatives and friends, and the other is when praying to God on the wedding day. If you let me wear such clothing to enter the palace and don't give me a woman that satisfies me, when I become king in the future, won't I be criticized and become a joke among my tribe members after dinner?"

Regardless of whether this is true or not, during this period of national mourning, he actually wanted the emperor to arrange a marriage for him?

Li Yunqian said: "This is in my Qing Kingdom!"

The white robe fluttered in the wind, and his eyes turned vicious and sharp.

"So what about Qing Kingdom?" Chu Pingsheng said coldly, "Today is my first day in Kyoto. Do you think my master Bai Feng will be at ease? Maybe he is hiding in the Qing Kingdom's palace. Li Yunqian, I give you face and call you His Majesty the Emperor of Qing. If I don't give you face, you are a dog that dares not bark even when being stepped on by my master."

"presumptuous!"

Li Yunqian raised his sleeves, revealing a pair of hands with many age spots.

"My life, your Nanqing Li family, and even the lives of millions of people in Kyoto, you should think carefully about it."

call……

The wind was so strong that it blew the bamboo slips on the shelf to the ground.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of him?"

"Then you can try. I'm not afraid to tell you that Ye Liuyun, you, Ku He, and Si Gu Jian are just tactical nuclear bombs. My master Bai Feng has a trick that can make you a perfect person in the entire Kyoto city."

Chu Pingsheng's black and white robe rustled in the strong wind, but his gaze was so firm that it made people's heart flutter.
