Chapter 556 Reward (Part )

Wu Yan agreed to Fu Qingzhou's request.

Although he still didn't understand it, it was a promise he had made.

He left Xiyu Pavilion for Zhu Mei and agreed to this request to protect Zhu Mei. So now that Fu Qingzhou asked him to do this, he would agree.

Maybe he didn't have the concept of keeping his promise, but as a killer, he must know what a "mission" is.

For him, this is the most important task at the moment.

Therefore, when Fu Qingzhou led him out of the prison, he told Fu Qingzhou without any hesitation that he would go back to take Zhu Mei away, and then start looking for the first "mission target".

Watching Wu Yan's thin and silent figure disappear in the crowd, Fu Qingzhou let out a long sigh.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy."

Liu Xingyuan came to him silently and whispered, "Shall we go into the palace?"

"Yes, go into the palace." Fu Qingzhou replied.

The last time he entered the palace, Zhao Yuan hurriedly and quietly summoned him in and had a chat with him, but this time, it was different.

This time, it was the emperor who wanted to reward him, and he did it in front of all the civil and military officials.

When Fu Qingzhou's carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial city, an old eunuch with sweat all over his forehead and gray hair came towards him.

"This is Young Master Fu, right?"

When the old eunuch saw Fu Qingzhou jumping off the carriage, he immediately put on a smile and hurried over to greet him, but then he paused and saw Yuan Ziping who was driving the carriage.

"Eh?"

The old eunuch was startled: "A Ping?"

When Yuan Ziping saw him, he also smiled, bowed his head and saluted: "Eunuch Huang, long time no see."

Under Fu Qingzhou's inquiring gaze, Yuan Ziping smiled and said, "Sir, when I was a soldier in the imperial guards, I stood guard every night under the imperial city for two years and was often exposed to the cold wind. At that time, Eunuch Huang felt sorry for me and often gave me hot soup."

"Are you following Young Master Fu now?" the old eunuch Huang asked curiously.

Yuan Ziping replied: "That's right, Ah Ping is now the young master's coachman."

"Very good, very good."

Eunuch Huang laughed so hard that his orange peel face was squeezed together, but soon he seemed to remember something and said anxiously, "Oh, I almost forgot - Young Master Fu, let's go in quickly! According to the rules, the emperor will summon you to the palace soon!"

Fu Qingzhou laughed and said, "Then please lead the way, sir."

Eunuch Huang responded and humbly asked, "May I ask what realm of strength Master Fu is in? We are walking faster, can you keep up?"

"It turns out that my father-in-law is also an expert."

Fu Qingzhou said: "I have just broken through to the seventh realm, you can watch me, sir."

"You are so young and yet you have the strength of the seventh realm. Young Master Fu is indeed extraordinary." Eunuch Huang turned around and said, "Then please follow closely."

After saying that, he took a step forward.

This step was not big, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary small step, but he slid and instantly flashed a distance of five or six feet!

Fu Qingzhou's pupils paused slightly, and he followed closely.

Naturally, he didn't have such a leisurely and magical step. He relied on his great strength to create miracles. He suddenly leaped up and flashed behind Eunuch Huang.

"Young Master Fu."

As Eunuch Huang walked, he turned back and said, "There are strict rules for etiquette in the palace. If you want to run so fast, we can walk slower."

Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. I haven't learned any footwork or light skills, so this is the only way."

Eunuch Huang was startled: "You haven't learned it?"

Fu Qingzhou shook his head.

The two men were like two afterimages, passing by the red and green palace walls and one palace after another, so fast that many guards could not keep up with their eyes.

Eunuch Huang looked slightly strange: "Aren't you a disciple of the True Immortal Palace?" "Well, I was busy learning some archery and some small magic spells in the mountains for those two years." Fu Qingzhou was a little embarrassed: "I didn't think about Qinggong and footwork."

"so……"

Eunuch Huang smiled and said, "Then I will send someone to pick out some good books on Qinggong and footwork and send them to your residence, young man."

Fu Qingzhou was stunned: "Aren't you too polite, sir?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Eunuch Huang smiled and said, "Back then, our family... was also considered a half-disciple of the True Immortal Palace."

"Oh?" Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"The last sword master..." said Eunuch Huang, looking somewhat bleak, "He saw that I was weak and often sick, so he often gave me advice, which is why I finally have the skills I have now."

The previous sword master?

That is Qingsongzi’s father… In that case, this eunuch Huang can indeed be considered half a disciple of the True Immortal Palace.

"Then you are half my uncle!" Fu Qingzhou said solemnly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he first met the killer from Wuli Village, there was also an old man who used hidden weapons and said that he came from the Zhenxian Palace, and his footwork was also very magical.

So there is such a good thing in my sect? With this step, I can walk a few feet away, and walk a few miles in a leisurely stroll. How cool! Why didn't I find this secret book in the first place...

It was all Qingsongzi’s fault. His handwriting was so ugly that he and Tang Jiao had no interest in even reading a few more books.

"How dare you?"

Eunuch Huang was called "half-master uncle" and smiled widely: "But I only have one wish in this life. If I have the chance, I can go to Langhuan Mountain and burn incense for the previous sword master, and I will be satisfied..."

The two of them moved very quickly. Before they could say a few words, the largest palace in the entire imperial city appeared before them.

"Young Master Fu, that is Qianyuan Palace."

Eunuch Huang lowered his voice and said, "Be careful about your words and actions in front of the emperor."

Fu Qingzhou thought, I have pointed at Zhao Yuan's nose and scolded him more than once...

But after thinking about it, I decided to give him some face in front of the civil and military officials, otherwise we would no longer be brothers.

Soon, the two stepped into the huge square in front of the Qianyuan Hall, and their pace slowed down at the same time.

The square in front of the palace is broad and solemn, and the ground is paved with huge white marble bricks. A night of snow did not leave any traces here, which obviously meant that someone had cleaned it overnight.

The court officials, dressed in official uniforms, stood in the square in an orderly manner according to their ranks, like a silent ocean. The early morning sunlight shone through the clouds, falling in front of the palace and on them, shining with golden light, making them even more majestic.

Fu Qingzhou followed Eunuch Huang and slowly walked into the square.

His appearance did not break the tranquility of the square, but the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on him involuntarily - they looked at this young and famous hero with curiosity, scrutiny, or a bit of respect.

Along the way, Fu Qingzhou could feel the complex emotions contained in those eyes - he knew that among these people there might even be the mastermind behind Wuli Village, and some of them might even want to kill him as soon as possible!
But he just smiled.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Qianyuan Hall. Deep in the towering gate, they could vaguely see the tall dragon throne and the ministers sitting under the throne.

Officials who can enter the palace during the morning court session are truly powerful people.

A strong smell of power was overwhelming, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

This is far different from the atmosphere of fighting in the martial arts world, and Fu Qingzhou does not like it.

"Young Master Fu."

Eunuch Huang stopped and turned around and said, "Wait a moment. You can enter the palace when His Majesty summons you."

Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly.

Eunuch Huang walked quickly into the hall, and soon a sharp voice came from inside.

"Announce——Fu Qingzhou is here to see you!"

Fu Qingzhou took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, smiled, and walked slowly into the hall with firm steps.
