Chapter 65 : Entering the Palace to Meet the Emperor
In the early morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the streets were empty of pedestrians, and the taverns had not yet opened.
The cat, resting on a roof beam, lifted its head and yawned.
"Open the door, open the door!"
Just then, a few low shouts suddenly broke the silence of the street.
Two secret guards burst into the recently famous tavern.

They wore masks, with sabers at their waists, and were dressed in dark red brocade robes embroidered with a pitch-black bird.
The Crimson Feather Secret Guard, the Emperor's own blood-colored crows.

They exercised the power to supervise all officials, and to patrol, investigate, and arrest.
Notorious and feared.
The people the officials in the capital least wanted to see were this group.
Because seeing them likely meant nothing good would happen.

Dismissal from office, confiscation of property, beheading... few of them had clean hands. When the Emperor's representatives came to the door, it basically meant there was no way out.
A few days ago, when the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lü Yufeng, who was in charge of the military examinations, saw these people, he fainted on the spot.
And now, these people had come to a tavern on the edge of the capital and knocked on the door.
"Who is the candidate Ming Chen?"

These people were indifferent hounds, killing blades.
Their voices were as cold and hard as ever, tinged with a murderous aura.

When the few waiters in the tavern saw this scene, they immediately fell to their knees, their faces filled with terror.
They were just ordinary people. How could they face these people with such terrifying auras?
In their world, they should never have encountered such people.
And just at that moment,
"Da da da~"
A scholar walked down from upstairs at an unhurried pace, sizing up the two with great interest.

Facing their chilling aura, he seemed unconcerned, a warm smile still on his face as he said, "You two, I am Ming Chen."
"Ming Chen?"
Through the holes in their masks, the two Crimson Feather Guards looked him up and down.
The gazes they usually received were mostly of fear and terror. Such a calm and arrogant scholar was rare.
One of them said, "His Majesty has decreed. Come with us."
"Come with you?"
W̃ е́ b̂nо v̌ еl Е̂ ń ùmӓ
Ming Chen raised an eyebrow.
Facing these minions of the supreme Emperor, he felt no fear.

In fact, it was as if he had anticipated their arrival.
"His Majesty has summoned me. As a student, I will naturally go."
"It's just..."
Ming Chen looked at the two with a smile, his words astonishing. "I don't quite like your attitude."
Ѐňǔ m̈а̄ . і̆ d
Arrogant scholar!
When has anyone ever dared to speak to them like this?
Because they were so shocked, for a moment, the two secret guards were a little stunned, their CPUs fried.
The two looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

What is this scholar thinking?
Immediately, one of them said to Ming Chen somewhat stiffly, "Sir, please come with us to the palace to see His Majesty."

It seems the all-in bet on the nine generations has won the first round.
Behind the secret guards was the Emperor.
Observing the reaction of the two Crimson Feather Guards, Ming Chen narrowed his eyes, understanding in his heart.
Only then did he wave his hand at the two and say, "Please!"
The three figures walked away. The sound of horse and carriage arose and disappeared into the quiet streets of the early morning.
The people in the tavern only then came back to their senses.

"This... this... what should we do?"
The new, mysterious shopkeeper had been taken away by those fierce-looking guards. It was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse.
For a time, the remaining waiters also lost their backbone and were somewhat panicked.
Did the shopkeeper commit a crime?
They wouldn't be implicated as well, would they?
A small figure stood at the door, watching until that person disappeared from sight.

She turned her head, took off her mask, revealing a shockingly rough face, and looked at the panicked waiters with bright eyes.
Her voice was sonorous as she said, "Everyone just do what you're supposed to do. The shopkeeper is fine."

"Uh..."
This child had such a face under her mask?
The group of men were shocked once again today.
It was a bit horrifying.
Еn̂ ŭ_mа̃
It was unknown whether they were shocked by the child's appearance or something else, but the few waiters opened their mouths, said nothing, and finally retreated in apprehension.
If he had really committed a crime, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
It was better to just stay here and pray.
"That brat is crazy enough."

Guo Chongyun looked in the direction Ming Chen had left, and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little emotional.
This person's courage was too great.

If it were him, he would never dare to be so crazy, to say such things to that secret guard.
He would have been obediently taken away.
No wonder the other party had been so rude to him that day. This unlucky fellow was like this to everyone.
He felt a little more balanced.
He couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart: It seems this child is still quite respectful of his master.
He wasn't worried about Ming Chen being taken away by the Emperor.

After getting along these days, he had probably come to understand his good disciple a little.
This person seemed perverse, but he always had a trump card up his sleeve. He should be fine.
This disciple he had stumbled upon was no simple character.
In the future, it was uncertain who would be basking in whose glory!
This person would either be killed by his own audacity and arrogance, or he would make his name shine in this era.
"Swoosh!"

A white bird shot out of the tavern and disappeared into the sky.
The cat on the roof beam swayed its tail gently, its eyes shining brightly.

And what no one cared about was that in Ming Chen's study, a single, inconspicuous, pitch-black hair, half-pressed under a scroll, lay quietly on the table.
...
The Imperial Palace.
Ming Chen walked all the way, as if he were a tourist, looking around at the majestic palace.
W̆ e b̌ n оvе̂ l _Е́ñŭ ḿа̂
He hadn't even had the chance to visit the Forbidden City in his previous life.
Now he had seen an alternate world version of the Imperial Palace.
The two secret guards had also never seen such a strange person before, so unrestrained and willful, as if he didn't know what fear was at all.
They also felt a great deal of pressure.

The sun was bright overhead. The two finally brought Ming Chen to his destination.
Ming Chen stood in front of the door and let out a light breath.
Ẇe bǹ.о v е̂ľ Ėn̄ūm̂а̃
He knew that by pushing open the door, he would be able to see the most noble person in this country.
"Creaak~"
The door opened, and the secret guards disappeared.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and time stood still.
A man sat at a high desk, looking down at him from above, quietly sizing him up.
This man had the face of a dragon, his gaze sharp, his whole body exuding an indescribable aura, as if he carried the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers on his back. His every move was captivating.

The current Son of Heaven of Qian Yuan, Xiao Yu.
Ming Chen clasped his hands and bowed. "Student Ming Chen pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Neither servile nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor fawning.
"You are Ming Chen?"
Ming Chen did not kneel to him.
Xiao Yu raised his eyes, his gaze burning as he looked at Ming Chen, his probing eyes wanting to see into Ming Chen's heart, to see this mysterious candidate completely.
Ēn u mа̂
The Emperor's gaze was like a dragon, his noble and kingly way adding to his presence. Just by being looked at like this, an ordinary person would have already knelt.
However, Ming Chen's expression remained as usual.

"Did you write this?"
Xiao Yu looked down at Ming Chen, holding an examination paper in his hand. He raised his hand and asked him.
Compared to the other candidates' papers, which were densely packed with thousands of words, this paper was much more empty.
Of the three questions Xiao Yu had personally set, each one had only a few strokes.
