Chapter 146 Meeting Fan Xian for the first time in the temple

"Master Xiao Guo, Your Majesty has summoned you!" Eunuch Hou stopped Guo Baokun who had just stepped down and walked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty has something important to do. If not, please help me ask for leave from Your Majesty. I need to go back to my hometown to catch up on my sleep. It goes against human nature to hold court meetings so early every day!" Guo Baokun yawned widely and stretched his arms. Lazy, with sleepiness in his eyes, he looked as if he had just woken up. During the court meeting just now, Guo Baokun had already slept on a pillar. Now is the best time of the year. The temperature is suitable. Sleep in.

"Master Xiao Guo, you are really good at joking. How can you ask for leave when your Majesty summons you?" Eunuch Hou smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Guo Baokun. On the other hand, he kept mentioning Guo Baokun's importance in his heart, and was satisfied. No one of the civil and military officials in the court dared to treat Emperor Qing's summons like this, only the man in front of him. But the strange thing is that His Majesty is never angry and looks at him differently. This is his skill.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore!" Guo Baokun shook his head helplessly and followed Eunuch Hou towards where Emperor Qing was.

"I have met your Majesty!" Guo Baokun bowed his hands and bowed perfunctorily to Emperor Qing without even bending his waist.

"Get up, I've never seen anyone as perfunctory as you. You were a polite person when I first met you, but the longer we get along, the more tired you become." Emperor Qing looked at Guo Baokun, who had no energy, and smiled. He joked.

"Your Majesty, don't you understand my temperament? I can lie down and never sit down. I can do whatever it takes to feel comfortable!" Guo Baokun said with some shameless pride.

"Your Majesty, there is something that needs me to deal with. If you don't have me, you can go back to your home to catch up on your sleep!" Guo Baokun still felt very sleepy and couldn't even open his eyes, so he quickly asked why Emperor Qing had summoned him.

"You accompany me out of the palace today, and we will go to the temple to worship together."

"I'm not interested. What's the point of going to the temple?" Guo Baokun was not interested in going to the temple at all. If he had the time, he might as well go home and catch up on some sleep.

"I really don't want to go. You have to know that your uncle Fan Xian will come to Beijing today. I have asked Eunuch Hou to pick him up at the city gate. If you don't go and meet him, how will you marry a beautiful girl in the future!" Emperor Qing knew how to attract Guo Baokun's interest, so he moved Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo out.

"Today?" Guo Baokun suddenly woke up when he heard the news that Fan Xian entered Kyoto today. From today on, it will be difficult for him to be so leisurely, and the peace in Kyoto will be gone forever.

"Yes, today is the day. Are you going?" Emperor Qing touched the beard on his chin with his right hand and looked at Guo Baokun with interest.

"Your Majesty said so, how could I not go!" Guo Baokun reluctantly agreed to Emperor Qing's invitation. Fan Xian's arrival was indeed more important than sleeping.

"I want to go in to worship, will you go in?" Emperor Qing knew that Guo Baokun had little interest in worshiping, so he asked directly.

"I won't go in. I'll wait in the courtyard for a while. Your Majesty, you'd better go by yourself!" Guo Baokun was not interested and refused directly.

Emperor Qing ignored Guo Baokun who was wandering around and entered the temple directly. Only Guo Baokun and the deputy commander of the imperial army Gong Dian were left in the courtyard, staring at each other. Gong Dian, as a military master, had fought many times on the battlefield. , was admired by Emperor Qing and became the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. As the captain of Emperor Qing's guard, he was Emperor Qing's confidant and deeply trusted by Emperor Qing.

"Commander Gong, I heard that you love painting, but I really can't tell. You are tall and thick, and you look like a rough guy, but you are actually an elegant person!" Guo Baokun was really bored and started teasing Gong Dian. He is a standard soldier, rigid and disciplined. This is the first time he has seen someone like Guo Baokun.

"Compared to Mr. Guo, you are a Jinshi. I, Gong Dian, am just a martial artist. I just like paintings. I can't be considered arty and can't be refined!" As the captain of Emperor Qing's guard, Gong Dian naturally had a dissatisfaction with Guo Baokun. Strange, but the two of them had never interacted with each other before, but he also understood how the person in front of him was valued by Emperor Qing, so he was not angry at all for Guo Baokun's teasing, and kept his posture very low.

"I don't think your hobby is good. A warrior, His Majesty's guard captain, and deputy commander of the imperial army. You actually like paintings. Doesn't this leave a mouthful to others?" Guo Baokun said seemingly casually, but in fact he meant to provoke Gong Dian. . Although the fact that the prince once sent famous paintings to the palace was secret, it was still known to many people. This violated Emperor Qing's taboo. It was a big taboo for the prince to make friends with the commander of the imperial army.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for reminding me. Gong Dian will be careful in the future!" Gong Dian didn't understand what Guo Baokun meant, but he just politely said that he would pay attention to these things in the future.

"It's up to you!" Guo Baokun looked at the slender-headed Gong Dian and waved his hand in a dazed manner. Guo Baokun really had no interest in reminding such an ignorant fool again. When Emperor Qing beat him, Gong Dian would naturally You will know how wrong you are.

"Squeak!" A young man pushed open the wooden door in front of Gong Dian and Guo Baokun, and was about to enter. If Guo Baokun guessed correctly, this would be the main character he was waiting for today, Fan Xian.

Guo Baokun carefully sensed Fan Xian's cultivation level. His Qi cultivation level was at the sixth level. The Qi attribute was very similar to the feeling given to Guo Baokun by Emperor Qing. They were both fire attributes cultivated by the domineering Qi. Since the Qi attributes that Fan Xian has cultivated are extremely domineering and concise, far more powerful than ordinary techniques, he can barely compete with seventh-level masters.

"The temple is closed today, please come back another day!" Gong Dian quickly stepped forward to stop Fan Xian.

"What kind of temple, what if I have to go in?" As a young man who just came out of Danzhou, Fan Xian still lacks the necessary understanding of the world, so he is considered a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and is very reckless.

"Please try another day. There is a noble person here today. Don't bring trouble to your family!" Gong Dian reminded him kindly, seeing that Fan Xian seemed to lack knowledge of common sense.

"What kind of noble person is this?" Fan Xian looked at Gong Dian and Guo Baokun in the courtyard. He didn't look afraid at all. Did he have any feeling for the so-called noble person? He still wanted to break in.

"I'm offended!" Gong Dian quickly attacked Fan Xian, clenched his right hand into a fist, and swung it towards Fan Xian's chest.

"Master!" Fan Xian screamed strangely and hurriedly raised his fists to meet each other. The two fists met tightly with a loud bang. Gong Dian took a step back, and Fan Xian was knocked out of the door. Gong Dian misjudged Fan Xian's strength and did not mention all his cultivation. He was a little hurt by Fan Xian's domineering energy and looked at Fan Xian outside the door in surprise.

"Eighth-grade master, it seems that there is really a noble person here!" Fan Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Seeing that the eighth-grade Gong Dian was just a guard, he understood that there was really a noble person here, but he didn't know just now Why did the person pretending to be a servant of Fan Mansion send him here?
