Chapter 368 Monarch Ji Ruqing
Which one is at the top of the palace?
Jiang Chen looked a little surprised.
He knew that this should be the ruler of the palace: the emperor!
However, in this world, the word "Emperor" seems to rarely appear.
Generally, they are called monarchs, kings, or directly kings.
"That person... why do you want to see me?"
Jiang Chen looked puzzled.
"Your heart is unpredictable. I just received an order. I don't know the specific reason why you were summoned." Wei Gong replied truthfully.
"Isn't it clear..."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't particularly want to see that monarch.
In his impression, this king had a moody temperament.
Although he had not had much contact with him in his previous life, I heard that his personality was very elusive and he was not easy to get along with.
"It shouldn't be a bad thing."
Seeing Jiang Chen's hesitation, Wei Gong added.
"I hope so."
Jiang Chen groaned slightly worriedly.
"Your Excellency Fanchen."
Luo Lianyue, who was following Wei Gong, suddenly took a step forward and saluted solemnly, "Thank you so much for your help today, otherwise my brother..."
"Little things."
Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"correct."
Kang Lushan's voice sounded next to him: "Little friend Fanchen, I heard Miss Lian Yue say that what you just said on the court was what you taught her to say?"
"Um."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"It's unbelievable. How did you know that Mr. Hogg would have evidence and would give it to Miss Yoina?"
Kang Lushan asked with a surprised look on his face.
Luo Lianyue and Wei Gong next to them were also full of confusion and curiosity.
"Well……"
Jiang Chen was thinking about what to say.
It was at this moment that two figures walked up not far away.
"Boy Fanchen, did you give the evidence today to Junior Sister Youina?"
The person speaking was none other than Hogg, and next to him was Youina.
When the latter saw Jiang Chen, he immediately quickened his pace and trotted over.
"Big brother!"
Youina took Jiang Chen's arm and rubbed it affectionately.
"alright."
Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed her little head.
At this time, everyone else was stunned.
They didn't expect that Jiang Chen would produce this evidence?
Besides being stunned, Luo Lianyue also had a strange emotion in her eyes.
This was revealed when she looked at Youina, who was intimate with Jiang Chen.
"I'm asking you something!"
Hogg's rough voice sounded again.
"Yes, Brother Hogg, I gave the evidence to Ina."
Jiang Chen looked at Hogg and nodded.
"I asked my junior sister, but she still refused to tell me."
Hogg curled his lips and immediately glared at Jiang Chen, "You kid actually took advantage of me!"
"It sounds too ugly to take advantage. It's just taking advantage of the situation."
Jiang Chen knew that Hogg had a bad temper and was not really angry. He explained: "My status is quite special. If they knew that it was me who provided the evidence, it would be difficult for the Vatican to get involved. Please understand."
"For the sake of my junior sister, I won't argue with you."
Hogg said angrily, and then asked: "By the way, where did your evidence come from? Is that guy Benedict really involved in the slave trade?"
"The evidence has been given to Benedict, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false." Jiang Chen replied.
"How could it not be important? If only a low-level member of the Holy See was involved in the slave trade, it is understandable that he might be doing it for money."
Hogg frowned and said, "But, who is Benedict, what is his motivation for participating in the slave trade, and are there other secrets behind this?"
"Maybe, but I don't know what the secret is yet."
Jiang Chen didn't tell the Holy See about the "Angel Plan" because he didn't know what it was now.
All I know is that the Holy See seems to be creating angels.
The specific details will only become clear after he finds the so-called underground altar.
If he spoke out, he was worried that the palace would alert the public.
After all, this underground altar looks like a hidden copy. There may not be any good things in it. If you tell me, the copy may be gone.
Therefore, Jiang Chen doesn't really want others to get involved at the moment.
"Really, you don't know either?"
Hogg glanced at Jiang Chen, as if he didn't believe it.
"have no idea."
Jiang Chen shook his head decisively.
"Fine."
Hogg didn't ask any more questions and said directly: "If you have any news about this, remember to tell me!"
"OK!"
Jiang Chen agreed immediately.
Afterwards, Hogg left here alone.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, followed Wei Gong and Kang Lu and walked towards the palace.
When they arrived at the entrance of an alley in Beicheng District, Luo Lianyue also said goodbye and left.
She appears to live in a house in this lane.
"By the way, where are Luo Lengxing and the others?"
On the way, Jiang Chen asked.
"Already heading to the palace first."
Emiya explained as he walked: "The three of them are going to plead guilty."
"Excuse me?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"Yes, they killed the wrong person and need to be punished."
There was a hint of helplessness in Wei Gong's words, "Imperial palace law allows sergeants to kill guilty people, but not if the other party is innocent."
"Understood."
Jiang Chen nodded and said nothing more.
"I will come forward to intercede. The lives of the three of them will never be in danger."
Kang Lushan on the side said something.
Emiya also hugged him with a sincere expression.
"By the way, King Zhenxi."
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "Where is the far western edge of the country that you led the army to guard?"
He only knew that it was at the west end, but the end was so wide that no player knew where the station was.
"Why, Sir Fanchen, do you want to take a look?"
Kang Lushan smiled.
"Can I go?"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"Of course you can go, but even if you ride a fast horse, it will take two or three months of travel. If you want to go, I can take you with me."
Kang Lushan smiled and said: "If nothing else happens, I will set off in two days. Do you want to come with me?"
"Forget it."
Jiang Chen curled his lips and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Who can have so much time during a two- to three-month trip?
He thought the other party had some quick method.
"Then we'll talk about it later. You will always be welcome in the Far West Boundary City."
Kang Lushan smiled and said nothing more.
"Ultimate Western Boundary City..."
Jiang Chen's eyes brightened slightly and he wrote down the name.
…
Soon, the group came to a splendid palace.
On the outermost side of the palace, there is a square, flat-story building.
Its area is very broad.
On the open door, there is a plaque with the three characters "Agency Office" written on it.
Its function is similar to the main city mansion, where players can go to handle various affairs.
At the same time, there is a special street about four to five hundred meters away from the palace.
On this street, there are tall buildings of different styles.
In front of every building, there is a large door.
There are also plaques hanging on them.
The plaques read [Adventurers' Association], [Blacksmiths' Association], [Pharmacists' Association], [Cookers' Association]... and so on.
These are the headquarters of major associations.
Jiang Chen did not go to these places, but followed Kang Lushan and Wei Gong, bypassed the affairs hall, and came to a high vermilion wall.
In the middle of the high wall is a huge arch.
There were also rows of elite soldiers standing on each side.
Jiang Chen knew that this was the palace gate.
Unless there is a special mission, it is generally difficult for players to enter.
However, these elite soldiers did not stop Jiang Chen.
Even Youina, who was following him, let him go.
Immediately, a group of four people passed through the palace gate and came to a straight and wide white jade avenue.
After advancing for hundreds of meters, a long staircase appeared in front of us.
At the top of the steps is a very grand hall, which appears in view.
The main hall covers an area of thousands of square meters, and there are thirty-six large pillars twenty to thirty meters high in front of the door.
Each large pillar is gleaming with gold and inlaid with various patterns carved from gold.
This architectural style is too similar to the ancient Chinese palaces.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but walked towards the steps.
"Your Excellency Fanchen, this way."
Wei Gong stopped him, "We are not going to the Golden Palace. This is the place where grand ceremonies and banquets are held. We are going to the inner court."
With that said, several people walked around the hall for another six or seven minutes, then passed through a gate and arrived at the inner court.
"It's so big here, it's quite troublesome to meet the king once!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"Be careful!"
Emiya said quickly.
Kang Lushan on the side had a slight smile on his face.
We walked for another three or four minutes.
Several people finally came to a building called "Jingxin Residence".
"Kang Lushan, King of Zhenxi, has come to see His Majesty the Sovereign!"
"The last general, Wei Gong, has come to see His Majesty the Sovereign!"
Kang Lushan and Wei Gong shouted respectfully in front of the door.
"Everyone come in!"
Immediately, a very young, even neutral voice with a hint of immaturity came out.
The two maids opened the door and respectfully welcomed the people outside.
This is a very spacious study room, with a large incense burner as tall as a person in the middle, exuding wisps of refreshing fragrance.
There is a long black table on the left side of the study room, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it.
A young man who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting at the desk, holding a pen and writing something.
This young man was wearing a luxurious robe with black background and gold patterns. His skin was fair and delicate, and his figure was very thin.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m young, but I haven’t even developed an Adam’s apple.
The information shows that his name is [Ji Ruqing]
But Jiang Chen knew that this person was the monarch of the imperial palace.
He had seen it in his previous life.
However, having seen him from a distance before, Jiang Chen thought the other person was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Now that I am facing him at such a close distance, I realize that this monarch is much smaller than I imagined!
