At this time, the prefect, as Zhao Dongting's palace, was naturally guarded strictly. The main gate alone was guarded by dozens of imperial guards.

Further inside, every three steps, two guards stood opposite each other on both sides of the road. Moreover, there were many sentries in the open and dark areas, and arrows shone coldly.

You can see several teams of guards patrolling inside.

And at night, the guards will be even tighter.

Liu Hongyi took Murong Chuan and others to the prefecture, and was blocked by the imperial guards.

The centurion on duty knew Liu Hongyi, but not Murong Chuan and others.

He saluted Liu Hongyi and said, "General Liu!"

Then he looked at Murong Chuan and the people from Xiulin Castle next to him with confusion.

Liu Hongyi said: "This is the lord of Murong Castle in Xiulin Castle. He has treasures presented to the emperor. I will take him in."

The centurion hesitated slightly and said, "If General Liu led his men, it would be possible, but the palace stipulates that no weapons should be brought into the palace!"

Murong Chuan smiled and nodded, and said politely: "Just Wu and I can go in."

As he said that, he took off the sword he wore on his waist and handed it to the follower next to him, "You are waiting for me here."

The follower quickly took the sword, "Yes."

The indifferent young man named Xiao Wu also took off the sword and handed it to his follower, looking cold. His eyes were not emotionally volatile from beginning to end, and the Yuchang Jian was always in his arms.

The centurion looked at the fish intestines with the hilt of the sword in his arms and said, "This..."

Liu Hongyi said: "This is the treasure that the fort is mainly offered. Let him take it in. With this general as a guarantee, nothing will happen."

This time, he joined forces with Xiulin Castle to wipe out the pirates, and he trusted Xiulin Castle very much.

Murong Chuan still smiled on his face, but sneered in his heart. In his opinion, Liu Hongyi was a fool who was still unaware of being used by him.

Although the centurion knew the rules, it was not easy to refute Liu Hongyi's face, so he had to say, "That's fine!"

Then he waved his hand and let the guards make way.

Murong Chuan bowed to the centurion and followed Liu Hongyi into the inside.

Rules are dead, and people live.

The centurion looked at their backs and thought to himself that General Liu's character is known to the court and the country. Since he was offering treasures, the emperor would not blame him.

In this way, Murong Chuan and the Xiaowu actually followed Liu Hongyi directly to the Political Consultative Hall.

Because they had been delaying some time in the military camp before, the officials have gathered outside the hall and just waited for the morning court time to come, and then entered the hall.

Seeing Liu Hongyi coming with two outsiders, and one of them was holding a sword in his hand, Su Liuyi asked, "General Liu, who are these two?"

Murong Chuan was the first to greet Mu Kangxun, "Master of the Prefect."

Mu Kangxun was originally talking to someone, but when he heard him shouting, he turned around and saw that it was Murong Chuan, and he said in confusion: "Master Murong Castle, why are you here?"

He had personally sent a plaque to Xiulin Castle and was treated diligently. He also had a very good impression of Murong Chuan, a hero in the martial arts world.

Liu Hongyi introduced: "My lords, this is Murong Chuan, the lord of Xiulin Fort who assisted our army in extermination of pirates."

All the ministers who looked at Murong Chuan were surprised.

They have never seen Murong Chuan, but they have heard the three words "Xiulin Castle" a lot these days. The famous Dayi Sect!

At this moment, several ministers bowed to Murong Chuan, saying hello.

This is naturally extremely polite. If the court had not fallen to Leizhou, with their official positions, they would not have to pay attention to the mere fortress lord Murong Chuan.

Although Xiulin Castle is very famous in the Leizhou world, it is ultimately not formal.

In ancient times, officials were officials and the people were people. The distinction was very clear. Even if the people were capable, they were people. Officials would not be close to ordinary people casually.

That's how it is if an official has his power.

Murong Chuan also consciously put his posture low and bowed deeply, "I have met you all."

At this time, Zhao Dongting's figure had appeared outside the courtyard wall of the Political Affairs Hall.

The ministers did not care about greetings and hurriedly walked into the Political Affairs Hall.

Liu Hongyi said to Murong Chuan: "Master, please wait here first, wait until I report to the emperor, and then come out to announce you in."

Murong Chuan nodded, and then was taken to the side of the Anglican Hall by the eunuch.

Seeing the ministers entering one after another, Zhao Dongting walked slowly with Li Yuanxiu, and a few vicious expressions flashed in his eyes.

Of course he could see that the ministers didn't care much about him. I think he was also a famous figure in the world. If it weren't for assassination of Zhao Dongting, he wouldn't have come to the prefecture to be treated so coldly.

Zhao Dongting did not notice Murong Chuan and Xiao Wu, and took Li Yuanxiu directly into the hall.

The ministers knelt on the ground, shouting long live the mountain.

Soon, Liu Hongyi replied: "Emperor, the lord of Xiulin Fort Murong Chuan, with the Yuyan Sword, was waiting outside the hall, and wanted to present it to the emperor."

Fish Intestine Sword?

Even Zhao Dongting knew the name of this sword.

Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai'a, Qixing, Longyuan, Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, Yuchang, Chunjun, Chengying, these ten ancient weapons were evaluated as the top ten famous swords in later generations, and were recorded in many ancient books and legends. He did not expect that he could see the fish intestines in it when he traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting was also a little curious and said, "Xuan him come in."

There were no traces of the top ten famous swords in later generations, so of course he also wanted to see if the fish intestines among the top ten famous swords were actually true.

"yes."

Liu Hongyi bowed, walked out of the hall, and said to Murong Chuan who was waiting on the fence on the left: "Master Murong Castle, the emperor promises you to go in."

"Thank you, General."

Murong Chuan bowed to Liu Hongyi again, then lowered his voice and said to Xiaowu beside him: "Think about your sister."

This sentence seems ordinary, but it seems extremely abrupt when it is said at this time. Moreover, Murong Chuan's voice is extremely cold.

Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly fluctuated at this moment. The Yuyan Sword in his arms was nodding slightly, and he didn't say anything.

Then the two followed Liu Hongyi to the hall and fell to the ground, "Murong Chuan, Cao Min, Xiao Wu kowtowed to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting asked the two of them to get up, looked at Murong Chuan with white hair in the middle of his forehead, and said, "Master Murong Castle, we're meeting again."

Murong Chuan raised his head, looked at Zhao Dongting, and said, "Murrong Chuan is fortunate to see the emperor's dragon face again, which is Murong Chuan's honor."

He was not surprised because he saw Zhao Dongting outside Xiulin Castle that night. As soon as Zhao Dongting left, Murong Hao told him about Zhao Dongting's identity.

He had never seen Zhao Dongting, but Murong Hao had seen him on Benzhou Island before. Murong Hao was the one who led the assassination of Zhao Dongting at this moment.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and said, "I heard from General Liu that the Lord of Murong Castle is here to offer the Yuyan Sword?"

“That’s right.”

Murong Chuan smiled and pointed at Xiao Wu next to him, saying, "This is Xiao Wu, a son of Xiulin Castle. He accidentally found the fish intestine sword covered with pearls in the pirate's nest. After we recognized it as the ancient sword in the castle, we did not dare to steal it, so we rushed over to offer it to the emperor."

"There are loyal righteous men in Xiulin Castle..."

Zhao Dongting pretended to sigh, and then said to Li Yuanxiu next to him: "Go and take it for me to see."

He was a little doubtful about Xiulin Castle after all, so he would not be stupid enough to go down to get the sword by himself.

Seeing this, Murong Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he still stood beside Xiao Wu, and no movement was seen.

Li Yuanxiu went to Xiaowu, took the Yuyan Sword from Xiaowu, walked back to Zhao Dongting, and opened the cloth. The Yuyan Sword was exposed in front of everyone.

The eyes of the ministers were instantly captured by the Yuchang Sword, which was full of ancient and mysterious aura.

This sword looks extraordinary.

Zhang Shijie sighed and said with emotion: "I heard that the fish intestine is the sword-making master Ou Yezi picked the tin of Chijin Mountain, like the copper from Yexi, and was hit by rain and thunder, and was made of the essence of heaven and earth. He was crowned as a brave sword. I saw it today, and it was indeed unusual."

After saying that, he bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor for obtaining this treasure."

Zhao Dongting's eyes were also attracted by the Fish Intestine Sword. This Fish Intestine was indeed far from comparable to the ancient swords he had seen in his previous life.

But he didn't think that the fish intestine sword was the tin of Chijin Mountain and the copper of Yexi, which was made by the rain and thunder, and was cast by the essence of heaven and earth. It was unrealistic to use thunder and lightning to refine the sword. Looking at the color and luster of the fish intestine, Zhao Dongting thought to himself, what kind of meteorite should be forged from the sky. But I don't know how its texture is compared with modern alloys.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

And just as everyone's minds were attracted by the fish intestines, Murong Chuan suddenly shouted in the hall.

Zhao Dongting turned his head and saw a faint cold light shot towards him, and he was approaching him.

The cold light became wider and wider in his pupils.

Li Yuanxiu held the fish intestines in both hands next to her, and also turned her head, her eyes instantly calmed down, but she didn't have time to react.

"Chew!"

Extremely faint sound.
