The magnificent Forbidden City is filled with thousands of gates in the Red Wall Palace.

The Later Zhou Imperial Palace was majestic and magnificent.

Whether it is the imperial guards on duty, the officials and ministers entering and leaving the palace maids, or the temples, they all have a sense of honor, and a sense of pride under the feet of the emperor.

But Su Qing was different. He left the Golden Palace, walked down the white jade dragon and phoenix stone steps, stepped across the golden watercolor bridge, looked at the Nine Dragon Wall, and looked back. Although he wanted to sneer, he could not hide his anger.

He didn't like this palace, even if it was as majestic and magnificent as the immortal imperial city of the legendary dynasty, he still didn't like it.

Because this is not Liang State, he has no sense of belonging to this place.

In the palace walls, all he saw was slavery, numbness, desertion, and silence.

Teams of imperial guards walked by, with their steps firmly, and the dusk light fell from the armor.

Su Qing stood quietly.

The contributions to his own contributions have been decided, and the court did not even hesitate about rewards. Everything seemed to be going well, but he knew that the court would not give up finding out the truth about the life and death of Ji Shang and others, including the mystery of the overturning of the Mohist government city.

This is also the reason why he quickly finished talking about his own affairs and left Yu Tianfeng and Chen Guanli.

Su Qing knew that Chen Guanli was also an ambitious person and he was under his command. Not to mention whether he trusted him, this time he treated himself as a knife. Because of his contribution this time, the other party wanted to go further, such as the position of general.

But Yu Tianfeng would not agree, because there were always only three generals in the Later Zhou Dynasty. If Chen Guanli was promoted, one person would inevitably come down, and he might be releasing his armor and returning to the field.

Of course, there may be another solution that is balanced for both of them.

Su Qing thought about the little emperor he had just met, the young emperor who was not old and looked very disagreeable on the dragon throne, but at some point it was extremely suitable for him. This was an unpredictable person and might have an unexpected move.

For example, add an additional general.

Su Qing held the white jade railing, which was wiped by the palace maids so that there was no dust at all. In the huge palace, there were countless railings like this.

The little emperor was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He was not arrogant, extravagant, did not care about beauty, and did not value money and food. But he loved cleanliness and could not stand any dust. This is well known, so the people below were very tired.

There are not many temples in the palace, but there are many palace maids because they work meticulously.

Su Qing was waiting and couldn't help but think about it.

What will I do in the future? Can I really gain a foothold in the court of Houzhou?

He didn't think that he would be the opponent of the little emperor and the old foxes in the court. Perhaps it would be best if he was far away from God. For example, in the original Liang Kingdom, that was the place where he was familiar and felt at ease.

But if that happens, it will be difficult for me to have a chance to move forward, and I will not be able to contact some senior officials of the court, unable to gain their trust, and unable to obtain secrets, I will not be able to avenge my father and take revenge on Yan State.

Yes, Su Qing only thinks about revenge now. As for restoring the country, he no longer thinks about it, that's too luxurious.

As long as it can make Yan State feel pain, it is enough. It is best to kill Yan Chang'an and destroy the General's Mansion of Yan State.

In that case, even if you die, it is not a pity.

...

"General Su, you can leave the palace."

While Su Qing was distracted and thinking about something, footsteps came from behind him, and a palace maid was spreading.

"Now?" Su Qing came back to his senses and asked.

He subconsciously looked at the direction of the Golden Palace. He did not see Chen Guanli and Yu Tianfeng coming out. Logically speaking, he wanted to know how to deal with the things he brought back from the Mo family and hand them over by himself.

Or, leave with Chen Guanli.

"Yes." The palace maid nodded.

"That General Yu and General Chen?" Su Qing asked.

"Your Majesty keeps them for dinner." said the palace maid.

Su Qing was silent for a moment and said, "What else did Your Majesty say?"

"General Su is exhausted all the way, so please go back to the house to rest." The palace maid said, "But this trip has made outstanding contributions, and I will show you the reward soon."

Su Qing smiled. His contributions did not go away, but they were limited to this. In the heart of the little emperor, he was only a little useful than before.

But this is enough. The road is always going to be slow. Now is not the time to be anxious.

"I understand, thank you." Su Qing nodded and turned around and left.

The palace maid also bowed and waited for him to walk into the palace after he walked away.

...

By the time I left the palace, it was already dark.

Su Qing took the horse at the gate of the palace and turned over. He never looked back from beginning to end.

There was no one or the people on the long street outside the palace, only the patrol soldiers who occasionally walked by.

You can't ride a horse here. Su Qing didn't ride a horse and was thinking about things in his mind. Behind him was a team of guards from Pingbei Army.

Turning over the long street, he was thinking about whether to go to Yunmiaoguan when he suddenly saw a hot stall on the side of the road.

It was getting late at this time, and there were not many people eating noodles. There were two men and women sitting there. The man was very young and was eating noodle soup.

Su Qing's eyes flashed with surprise, but he was not so surprised.

However, seeing that the other party was safe and sound, a large stone finally fell in his heart.

"You guys wait." Su Qing waved his hand, dismounted and went to the noodle stall.

Everyone followed behind him looked at him, but they didn't say much, just sat on the horse, still on guard.

Su Che ate the noodles with a sip of soup, wiped his mouth.

"Why are you here? "Su Qing came over, and didn't bother me to be dirty. She pulled open the stool and sat down.

"Come to find you." Su Che said.

Su Qing had a little doubt on his face and looked at Yuqin beside him.

He wanted Su Che to introduce who this woman was, but unfortunately, Su Che didn't seem to understand it, and just poured him a cup of tea.

Su Qing looked at the ordinary tea cup in front of her, and the cheap big-leaf tea water was smelling inside. Even though she was indeed a little thirsty after coming out of the palace, she still had no urge to drink it.

The tea was steaming, and he watched, without saying a word.

"Are you just coming out of the palace?" Su Che asked.

Su Qing said: "After farewell to the city of Jiguan, I thought goodbye would be a long time later."

He did not admit it or deny it, because the other party could wait here. Obviously, when he entered the city in the afternoon, the other party might be there, so he knew his whereabouts.

"If you don't see me, you will inevitably be uneasy." Su Che said.

Su Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Have you been to Yunmiaoguan?"

"She is now a member of Luowang." Su Che looked at him and asked, "Why?"

Su Qing knew what he was asking, but something unexpected was that he actually knew Su Yue’s identity, and obviously, she wouldn’t have told the other party on his own initiative.

He could only discover it first, and Su Yue did not hide it from him.

He saw something wrong, so he came to ask himself.

Su Qing didn't know if he should be happy.
