When walking to the gate of the palace, the guards naturally stopped the request to show the guard card. Chao Ya didn't say a word, and revealed the shield in his hand. The two guards saw that they were specially issued by Kong Jing, so they stopped asking more questions and hurriedly leaned over to salute.
Seeing that Chao Ya didn't see through, he went straight into the palace gate.
After entering the palace gate, Chao Ya went straight to the city lord's bedroom. He was afraid of being seen by Kong Jing or his subordinates, so he tried his best to avoid guardsmen patrolling along the way. When Chao Ya passed by'Xuan Liu Pavilion', he heard a sharp shout behind him, "Who is so bold and dared to break in here late at night?"
Chao Ya felt a spirit in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and turned to look at an eunuch who was walking towards him quickly. The eunuch had delicate skin and tender flesh, and his face was white, and he seemed to be more than 40 years old. But it is estimated that it is a new eunuch, Chao Ya did not recognize who this eunuch is
But this eunuch happened to serve the city lord to eat and sleep. He saw the man with the sword, and he recognized it when he took a closer look. He knew that this person was Kong Jing's pro-accompaniment, so he hurriedly changed his emphasis and said: "Oh, why didn't the farmer's guard not notify me late at night? I can send a letter to the lord of the city if there is anything important, so I don't have to bother you to come here in person in the middle of the night. Maybe it's said that the farmer must guard you some nasty gossip."
At this moment, Chao Ya understood this person’s identity, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The father-in-law said it is right, but at the end there will be important military affairs and must be reported to the city lord. If the military affairs are delayed, Master Kong Jing will not only be blamed, but the lord will hold them accountable. There may be a crime of decapitation in the middle of the night, so I will not dare to neglect it."
The father-in-law was frightened when he heard it, but he was still very puzzled, "Military situation? What kind of military situation? Now there is no war in Chiyan City. Is the farmer's guard reported a mistake."
"No one in the city should be involved in political affairs except courtiers. It's better for the father-in-law not to ask." Chao Ya put on a posture of a farmer's beard and began to threaten, hoping to send him away quickly.
The father-in-law seemed even more displeased, "It is the duty of the old slave to protect the safety of the Lord, even if it is a farmer who guards you, it is no exception. If you have something to do, report it tomorrow! The Lord’s body is not well, if it disturbs the Lord. Nobody can afford to rest."
Chao Ya knew that if this money-greedy eunuch didn’t need some money to pass it, he would definitely not let it go easily. He hurriedly took out a pack of silver taels from his sleeve and handed it to the father-in-law. I’m going to bother my father-in-law to lead the way."
The father-in-law suddenly opened his eyes and smiled. He stretched out a slightly greasy hand to take it, and then gently turned the money bag upside down, then put it in his sleeve, and smiled: "The farm guard is indeed a good general in the city, and he came to report late at night for the military situation. Since it is so urgent, the old slave is not easy to stop, you should go to the'Yuehua Pavilion', the Lord has not rested because of worry about the city.
Chao Ya didn't want to talk nonsense with the eunuch anymore, so he walked quickly towards the'Yuehua Pavilion', but when his figure disappeared into the dark night, the father-in-law Han seemed to understand something, and there was a few traces on his face. The color of worry.
