C1563
The carriage passed straight through the main road of the Zhenjiang, and quickly headed towards the palace. After walking for two and a half minutes, they stopped in front of the palace gates.
Inside the carriage, Liu Zhang, Bai An, Yan Yan and the rest looked at each other, as they did not understand why the man with the hidden arrow was bringing them to the palace.
Xiong Gu replied honestly: "It can't be that the King wants to see us, right?"
"How is that possible!" The others said in unison. They were considered famous amongst the students in Spiritual Martial Academy, but in the entire Feng Country, they were just insignificant nameless newbies, so how could the King possibly summon them?
"Then why did you bring us to the palace?"
"Who knows." Liu Zhang muttered as he stuck his head out of the window and looked out.
The two men in green got off the carriage and quickly walked up to the palace guards. They whispered a few words to each other before walking back to the carriage. Patting the walls of the carriage, they said, "Both of you, get off."
Liu Zhang and the rest looked at each other, their hearts were filled with confusion, but they still jumped down from the horse carriage. As soon as they came down, guards surrounded them and began to meticulously search them. Of course, the ones who were searching for Bai An and Yin Lan were the four Female Guard s.
After confirming that they were not armed, the guards let them in.
The two men in green led the way, with Liu Zhang and the rest following behind. It was already deep into the night, and most of the lights in the palace had been extinguished. Under the moonlight, only the rough outline of the palace could be seen.
In the past, they had only viewed the palace from afar, but now that they were inside, they could truly feel the majesty and grandeur of the palace.
Along the way, they had already seen countless great halls and pavilions, and every single building was a colossal existence. Moreover, they were decorated in a resplendent and dignified manner, and if one didn't see it with their own eyes, they wouldn't be able to feel the majesty within it.
Only after entering the palace for a while did everyone recover from their shock. Liu Zhang anxiously walked forward a few steps, approached the two men in green, and asked: "Two Dark Arrow Brothers, where are you two bringing us to?"
"Tai An Palace." One of the men said without turning his head back.
"That's ?" How would Liu Zhang know what kind of place the Tai An Palace was.
"The King wants to see you." The man in green added.
Hearing this, Liu Zhang and the rest all took a deep breath. Xiong Gu's guess was right, the King had indeed summoned them. The few of them looked towards Xiong Gu at the same time.
The green-clothed man who spoke finally turned his head back. However, he did not look at Liu Zhang, but looked at Xiong Gu instead, and said expressionlessly: "You should thank these companions of yours. It's all thanks to them that you did not do that on the road."
These seemingly unfathomable words caused Xiong Gu, Liu Zhang and the rest's expressions to change greatly, as cold sweat unconsciously flowed down their bodies. It turned out that the two of them had heard the conversation between them inside the carriage.
Liu Zhang swallowed his saliva, and asked once more: "This big brother, I wonder why the King summoned us? We are just ordinary students of the capital's Spiritual Martial Academy. "
"We are just following orders. As for the specific reason, we are not too clear on it either. However, it is definitely not a bad thing." This man in green was one of the more talkative ones amongst the hidden arrows.
After walking for quite some time within the palace, the two azure-robed figures came to a halt before a courtyard.
Looking inside, the courtyard was very large. There were gardens and rows of trees, and at the end of the garden, there was a great hall. Inside the hall, it was brightly lit, but the distance was too far.
"We're here." The two men in green said in a low voice and then turned to leave. Liu Zhang still wanted to call out to the two of them, but at this time, a guard walked out from the courtyard door and said to them: "Everyone, please come in."
Liu Zhang and the others completely lost their senses and followed the guard into the courtyard, and walked all the way to the great hall. Only then did they see that two rows of seats were already placed, and in the middle of the hall sat one.
The man was dressed in a black and red robe with no buttons, revealing a white tunic underneath. He was currently looking down at the book, making it impossible to see his appearance.
Behind him were two burly men dressed in luxurious clothing. Their eyes were like lightning as they swept their gaze over them from time to time.
"Quickly greet the King!" The guard who brought them in reminded them in a low voice.
Liu Zhang and the rest regained their senses, so this man was the King! They all knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison, "I pay my respects to the King!"
The person sitting in the middle finally put down the memorial in his hand and raised his head. He smiled at them and said, "Everyone, get up!"
Oh, the sound was so familiar! Bai An, Yan Yan, Yang Yi, Xu You and the others did not feel anything, but Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu and the others did.0
After the seven of them stood up, they subconsciously raised their heads to look forward. When they saw that person's appearance, shock appeared on their faces.
Bai An had never seen Tang Yin before, and of course, Yan Yan, Yang Yi and Xu You had, but at that time, he was protected by her spirit armor so it was impossible to see his appearance clearly. They were shocked that the King was actually so young, and looked to be about the same age as them.
As for Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu, Yin Lan, and the others, they were even more shocked than Bai An. How was this a King? Xiong Gu's personality was the most straightforward, he blurted out in shock: "You actually dared to pretend to be the King ?"
Before he finished his sentence, Ah San, who was behind Tang Yin, had already shouted in unison, "Impudent!"
Xiong Gu's face was full of bafflement, and he didn't know what he said was wrong. But Liu Zhang and Yin Lan had already figured out what was going on, no wonder Tang Chu inexplicably joined the level ten and then mysteriously disappeared, even the teachers and managers of the academy pretended ignorance. So it turned out that Tang Chu was Tang Yin, the great king of Feng Country.
The two of them pulled Xiong Gu who still had questions and whispered: "Don't ask anymore, Tang Chu is the King."
"Huh?" Tang Chu was... King? Not to mention Xiong Gu, who stared in disbelief, even Bai An and the others were completely shocked, and could not recover from the shock for a long time.
Tang Yin laughed, and said: "That's right, Tang Chu is only a fake name, and Tang Chu is Tang Yin." With that, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, don't just stand there. Everyone, please take a seat!"
Hearing him call them classmates, everyone couldn't tell what they were feeling. Some of them were Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu, and some were shocked and a little angry.
Tang Yin stretched his stiff muscles and slowly said: "I know, you may have thought that I was deliberately fooling you all, but in reality, that is not the case. I only wanted to personally experience the city's Spiritual Martial Academy upgrade test, only, I didn't think that I would be forced to participate in it. Speaking of the leveling test, I would like to apologize to my A-class classmates. "
It was precisely because of his participation that this group competition, which should have been spectacular, was so unfair.
Who would have thought that the King would apologize to them? Bai An and the rest felt overwhelmed, and all of them waved their hands: "The King is too courteous, I do not dare to be your servant."
"Sit down!" Tang Yin said calmly: "The reason I called you here today is because all of you have performed very well in the levelling test."
Yin Lan pointed to Xu You without even thinking and asked, "Including him?"
Tang Yin laughed, and said: "Although Xu You likes to be gentle with women, his strength is first class amongst the [A] class.
Xu You immediately cupped his hands and said: "I thank Your Majesty for the kind treatment!" While he was speaking, he stealthily rolled his eyes at Yin Lan, and muttered softly: "I let you go that far in the competition, yet now you want to tear me down?"
Yin Lan turned her head and pretended not to hear.
The smile on Tang Yin's face became even wider, and he said: "Everyone must be hungry, I already had someone prepare midnight snack." As he spoke, he clapped his hands. Soon, ten palace maids filed in and placed the dishes on everyone's table.
Seeing that his attitude was amiable and he didn't have the airs of a king, everyone's mood gradually relaxed. Xiong Gu shook his big head and muttered: "You are actually the King, it is really unexpected, we even thought you were a ghost ?"
His words caused Ah San's face to darken, and also made the faces of Liu Zhang and the others turn pale on the spot. They couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him. It had to be known that the person in front of them was not their schoolmate, but rather the dignified king.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin didn't mind at all, and instead laughed out loud: "I also heard that ever since I disappeared from the capital's Spiritual Martial Academy, there has been a lot of gossip in the academy. One of the reasons I invited you all here was to ward off rumors, I am human, not a ghost!"
"Pu!" When the crowd heard this, they suppressed their laughter and lowered their heads, covering their mouths.
Tang Yin called out: "Don't just sit there, eat. The food in the Feng King Palace is not exclusive, but it is at least better than the academy's food."
They lowered their heads and looked at the dishes on the table. Originally, it was different, Bai An and Yan Yan were the Ning people, the things in front of them were the people with Ning Country, while Liu Zhang, Xiong Gu and Yin Lan were the wind people, in front of them were the dishes.
Seeing that, even Bai An and Yan Yan could not help but exclaim in their hearts that he was considerate. Although the King was an old man, but she was much more magnanimous than an ordinary old man.
Liu Zhang, who had been silent all this while, finally opened his mouth and asked: "This time, the King also invited me.
"There is this aspect of it." Tang Yin smiled and nodded, then said: "Actually, what I value more is your organization and leadership. As for your performance this time, it can be considered to be extremely bad."
Hearing that, Liu Zhang and the rest had a change in expression. In their eyes, his tactic was already very unexpected and successful, but why did it suddenly turn out to be so terrible when it came to the King?
Liu Zhang took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said: "Great King, please enlighten me!"
