Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 383 Going to court
On the other side, Yuwen Tai and the jailer were so busy talking that they finally saw Ren Yuan and the other two come out.

"Let's get back to the conversation." Yuwen Tai immediately ended the awkward conversation and led the two of them out of the Grand Palace.

"How is it? Have you convinced him?" Yuwen Tai asked hurriedly as he came out.

"Yeah." Ren Yuan nodded and smiled, "My uncle is a bit stubborn, he just needs to change his mind."

"Great!" Yuwen Tai said happily, "Now everyone is happy!"

"However, there is something I need to discuss with my brother when we get back." Ren Yuan whispered again.

"Okay." Yuwen Tai nodded, and the group quickly returned to Dugu Xin's residence.

"..."Ren Yuan then repeated what he had said to Zu Geng.

Yuwen Tai was extremely smart and understood immediately: "You mean, that great uncle will most likely do as you say, tinker with that thing, destroy the thieves' lair, and then escape?"

"He doesn't have the ability to destroy the thieves' lair, but he is very capable of escaping." Ren Yuan smiled bitterly. When he was chasing Xiao Zong before, he almost got killed by Zu Geng.

He said seriously, "But I can't betray my own brothers, so I have to explain it to you clearly and think about whether there is any way to have the best of both worlds."

"No, this method is very good." Yuwen Tai waved his hand and said, "We are just here to spend our days, what's the point of making a mess?"

"Indeed, it's not a taboo like rebellion or disobedience." Dugu Xin also laughed and said, "The emperor won't turn against Luo Sheng for such a small matter, but of course he will scold him a few times."

"It's not good to get scolded, right?" Ren Yuan said softly.

"It's okay. Third brother has been scolded countless times for us since he was a child. This one scolding won't hurt him." Yuwen Tai waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll go back and explain it to him. Let's see what he says."

"It's best to explain it clearly." Ren Yuan nodded and said, "If your brother doesn't agree, we can try another method."

"There is nothing to change. In the end, we have to rescue the people. He can't avoid being scolded." Yuwen Tai laughed and said, "But the emperor dare not go too far, otherwise we Wuchuan men will not agree!"

"Indeed." Ren Yuan stood up and bowed, saying, "I will always remember your kindness and will repay you generously."

"That's a long way off." Yuwen Tai put his arm around Ren Yuan's shoulders and said, "You and I are brothers, we hit it off the moment we met. We are so close to each other that there's no need to say anything extra."

"That's right." Ren Yuan nodded heavily and laughed loudly, "I am obsessed."

"Of course not." Yuwen Tai said with a smile, "But you southerners are all so polite, you are the best."

"Brother Yuwen, please don't generalize. People from the south and north are all the same. There are all kinds of people." Ren Yuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and then asked:
"If your brother agrees, then let us serve as Zu Sima's assistants. This will speed up the process."

"No problem." Yuwen Tai nodded.

~~
Yuwen Tai went back and told his third brother about it. Yuwen Luosheng really thought the same thing and said with a smile, "It's better for him to leave like this. I don't have to go through all the trouble to let him go."

Once Zu Geng's attitude changed, Yuwen Luosheng's job became easier.

The next morning, Yuwen Tai came running over and announced the good news: "The emperor has ordered that Zu Sima be spared."

"Great!" Ren Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief. In such a ghost place, no matter how powerful you are, it is useless. You have to follow the rules. If they really want to kill Zu Geng, he has no other choice but to ask Zu Chongzhi to help.

"Come with me quickly, the emperor wants to see you." Yuwen Tai pulled Ren Yuan out again.

"What do you want to see us for?" Ren Yuan was stunned.

"Aren't you going to help Zu Sima build the Thunderbolt Chariot?" Yuwen Tai blinked and said, "The emperor wants to summon all the people involved in the manufacturing. It seems that he really values this thing." "Okay." Ren Yuan smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity to admire the style of the emperor of the Great Qi."

"I never thought that my first court session would be here." Chen Baxian also sighed.

"Haha, then you will be disappointed." Yuwen Tai quickly gave them a shot of prevention.

"Do we need to change into court robes?" Chen Baxian asked according to the rules of Daliang.

"No need, we don't have that thing." Yuwen Tai shook his head.

"It's not that we can't even make a set of court robes." Dugu Xin explained, "This involves various clothing systems and court etiquette regulations. How can a bunch of us Beizhen soldiers understand this? We can't even understand it if we follow the prescription."

"Well, it hasn't been decided yet, so we can only wear whatever we have." After saying this, Yuwen Tai took them back to the 'Grand Palace' again.

On the way to the "court", Ren Yuan and others saw Zu Geng following a tall, broad-shouldered and thin-waisted man walking from the direction of the "sky prison".

"That's Gao Huan." Yuwen Tai gently reminded: "Be careful when talking to him, this guy is treacherous."

"Yeah." Ren Yuan nodded, and looked at the peerless hero who would be on par with Yuwen Tai in the future.

I saw that he had a broad and full forehead, prominent cheekbones, and sharp eyes. Although he couldn't compare with Dugu Xin, he was also a handsome guy with a lot of charm. Anyway, he was more handsome than Yuwen Tai, who ruined everything with a black face...

Moreover, judging from his age, Gao Huan was already in his early thirties, with a deep demeanor and no expression of emotion. In terms of temperament, he was not someone that a young man like Yuwen Tai could match.

As the two parties came closer, Gao Huan smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth.

"Black Otter, is this our friend from the south?"

"..." Yuwen Tai said unhappily, "I have a full name, don't call me by my nickname in formal occasions."

"Okay, Black Otter." Gao Huan nodded, took the initiative to cross his arms towards Ren Yuan and the others and said with a smile: "From now on, we have to get closer."

"Okay, okay." Ren Yuan returned the greeting with a smile. There were too many thighs and he couldn't hug them all. He couldn't hug them all at all.

But if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely go with Black Otter, not only because they were of similar age, but he was also the final winner. There was also another very important reason, it was easy to have a good ending if I followed Black Otter.

If you follow the Gao family, it's easy to play the Nine Clans Elimination Game...

Therefore, Ren Yuan did not take the opportunity to anger Gao Huan, but quietly followed Yuwen Tai and entered the "Great Qi Court".

This so-called "Da Qi Court" was also converted from the lobby of the County Magistrate's Mansion. Even the screen with the picture of the sea, river cliff and red sun rising was not changed.

I saw Ge Rong, the Emperor of Great Qi, wearing a yellow silk robe and a Yuanyou crown, sitting cross-legged on the throne.

The princes and generals under his command also sat cross-legged on both sides, chatting and laughing in front of the emperor, and some even spat on the ground...

Fortunately, Ge Rong has gotten used to it. At least now no one will run directly behind his screen to pee when they are in a hurry...

But that fishy smell can never be removed.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming." The 'Grand Chamberlain' guarding the door shouted.

The generals then fell silent and looked at the people brought in by Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai.
