Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 737 - 426: Chief Eunuch Liu Takes Action!_2
Though Hua Siyuan’s mission failed, in terms of severity, perhaps his situation is even more severe.
"Alright, we will know the final result soon enough."
As they got closer to the Imperial City, his heart began to feel uneasy.
"I hope the lord will show mercy considering their years of service."
....
Within the Imperial City.
Chen Xuan walked at the forefront.
"Tsk tsk..."
Looking at this wide avenue, at least fifteen meters wide, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but click his tongue.
As expected of the Imperial City, even the bluestone roads are this wide.
However, this is just the entrance to the Imperial City, so there aren’t many buildings yet.
Only bustling crowds coming and going.
"Sir, should we go directly to the Ritual Department?"
Shi Jian asked in a low voice.
"Mm!"
Chen Xuan nodded, "Go rent a carriage. No, two carriages. So many people would be too conspicuous."
Not far from them, there was a row of carriages of various styles.
These were prepared specifically for those entering the Imperial City.
"Yes!"
Shi Jian immediately walked over.
A short while later, two carriages were heading towards the Ritual Department.
Inside the carriage, Chen Xuan looked at the map in his hand.
This is the general layout of the Imperial City.
The Imperial City has four gates, and they entered through the east gate.
After entering, they were at the outermost layer of the Imperial City.
The entire Imperial City is divided into four layers, roughly equivalent to the four ring roads of the past life.
And the Ritual Department is located on the second layer to the east.
"Fortunately, if it were in a different direction, we probably wouldn’t make it in a day."
Chen Xuan closed the map in his hand.
The Imperial City is too large, with a span of a hundred miles from east to west.
And flying is prohibited.
While Chen Xuan’s carriage was heading to the Ritual Department, Hua Siyuan and Lao Jiu finally arrived at the Imperial City, also through the east gate.
The two of them descended directly in front of the City Guards and quickly entered the Imperial City after showing their token.
Tong Youjun slightly opened his closed eyes.
He watched the two of them hurrying past, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
"The Imperial City is about to get interesting again."
He mused to himself, then closed his eyes again.
...
About three hours later.
The carriage stopped.
"Sir, we have arrived at the Ritual Department."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, then got off the carriage.
His gaze fell upon the grand gate before him.
Above the gate were the three gilded characters "Ritual Department" written with a flourish, and they... contained a powerful aura.
The sight was so intense that even his eyes felt a slight sting.
He quickly averted his gaze.
Chen Xuan’s expression changed.
"Sir, you mustn’t look at those characters for too long; even masters of the Martial Dao can’t bear it."
The driver, an old man, explained to him with a smile.
"Why?"
Chen Xuan asked, curious.
"Those were written by the late Emperor himself, containing unparalleled majesty; how can one gaze at them directly?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded, so that’s why.
Throughout its history, the Emperors of Great Yu have always been the strongest; in this light, it makes sense.
At this moment, Shi Jian also approached, along with the five Shadow Guards.
For convenience, after entering the Imperial City, these five were like grasshoppers tied to a string by Chen Xuan.
"Inform them that even this prince is requesting an audience with Chief Eunuch Liu."
"Yes!"
Shi Jian replied softly, then walked towards the gate of the Ritual Department.
"Halt! This is the Ritual Department, retreat at once!"
As Shi Jian approached, a guard at the entrance barked sternly.
"Reporting to the lord, Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion requests an audience with Chief Eunuch Liu. I ask the lord to inform him."
Shi Jian cupped his hands and said respectfully.
This is the Imperial City; even though it’s just the gate guard of the Ritual Department, to him, they are still esteemed lords.
Moreover... those who can guard this place likely have no simple background.
After all, this is the Ritual Department! One of the key places in Great Yu.
"Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion?"
This voice did not come from the guard but from a man in white at the gate of the Ritual Department.
It was Kang Bai!
Seeing this, Shi Jian immediately bowed to him, "Yes, my lord."
At this, Kang Bai’s gaze turned towards Chen Xuan.
Seeing this, he immediately spoke, "Xuan Er of Molan Mansion seeks to meet with Chief Eunuch Liu, please inform him."
"Are you that Prince Xuan?"
Kang Bai finally saw the living person.
Since becoming a prince of Molan Mansion a few years back, he has consecutively offended the Shen Family, Your Highness... of course, the most critical was winning Qin Ying’s favor.
"Looks decent, and strength... not bad either."
Kang Bai mused to himself.
"Come in."
"Thank you!"
Chen Xuan immediately moved forward, while Shi Jian held the rope, leading the Shadow Guards, following closely behind Chen Xuan.
"Who are they...?"
Kang Bai asked, puzzled, not knowing the reason for this commotion.
"Those who want to kill me."
Chen Xuan replied calmly.
"Who have you offended now?"
Kang Bai was speechless, wondering what kind of charisma this young man had to keep getting targeted.
Then his gaze fell upon the five individuals again, but upon seeing the ring, his expression changed dramatically.
"Take these five into the small room."
"Yes, Lord Kang."
The lead guard immediately took the rope from Shi Jian and led the five into the Ritual Department. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Hmph!"
"You really know how to stir trouble."
Kang Bai glared at Chen Xuan fiercely, cursing him inwardly.
"Damn, how did you get involved with this Shadow Guard group."
"Bastard!"
"Truly knows how to make trouble."
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan feigned ’confusion’, asking, "What’s wrong? Does Lord Kang know these people?"
"Go inside and see the Chief Eunuch!"
Kang Bai couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, not believing for a second that Chen Xuan didn’t recognize these people.
