Chapter 184 Messenger

This time, Ji Zunxing did not refute, nor did he say anything he shouldn't say.

Ji Chenxing's status is much higher than his. If Ji Zunxing wants to pay proper respect to Ji Chenxing, he has to kneel down.

Ji Zunxing originally didn't want to go through the trouble of performing the ceremony. He thought that he could just bow. However, when he just cupped his hands, Ji Chenxing showed no intention of letting him pass.

"You just acted so aggressively, and now you want to fool me again?"

Ji Chenxing asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, a team of elite soldiers in golden armor came over from a distance.

As soon as they saw Ji Chenxing, this group of elite soldiers immediately knelt in front of Ji Chenxing.

"My Lady Princess, His Majesty has sent us to escort her into the palace."

Ji Zunxing has always been a military officer, so he is very familiar with the person in front of him.

These people are the imperial guards in the palace. Although there are only a dozen of them, it is enough to show how much Jun Heng values ​​Ji Chenxing.

"Please stand up." Ji Chenxing exempted the guards from the formalities. "But wait a moment. Lord Ji hasn't seen me for a long time and he misses me very much. It won't be too late for us to leave after he pays his respects to me."

The envoys from Zhou State will arrive at the hall soon, and time is actually very tight.

But before the Imperial Guards set off, Jun Heng specifically reminded them not to be in a hurry and not to rush Ji Chenxing, and it didn't matter if they were a little late.

Everyone knows that Ji Zunxing is Ji Chenxing's biological father, but he is not nice to Ji Chenxing. When the leading guard heard what Ji Chenxing said, he immediately brought a team of people to stand behind Ji Chenxing, giving her enough face.

Ji Zunxing broke out in a cold sweat and had no choice but to kneel down.

He shook his clothes and landed firmly on his knees in front of Ji Chenxing.

Even though he was unwilling, Ji Zunxing still lowered his head and called Ji Chenxing, "Princess."

Ji Chenxing's makeup today was not heavy, and even though she was wearing purple, it was easy to tell that she was not very old.

But what was strange was that Ji Zunxing discovered for the first time today that there seemed to be a strange aura around Ji Chenxing.

This kind of aura is different from that of women in the boudoir.

She is neither humble nor arrogant, does not recognize anyone as her master, and has a kind of momentum.

If he had to say, Ji Zunxing felt that Ji Chenxing's aura was a bit similar to Jun Heng's.

Thinking of this, Ji Zunxing was shocked by his own thoughts.

He quickly lowered his head even lower, as if if he bumped into Ji Chenxing, the consequences would be the same as bumping into Jun Heng.

Thinking that the person he was kneeling to was Ji Chenxing, his biological daughter, and the daughter he despised the most, Ji Zunxing's face turned red with shame.

But Ji Chenxing didn't care about Ji Zunxing's thoughts. She was thinking about another scenario -

That day, when she was locked up in the dungeon by Ji Zunxing, she was probably as unbelievable as Ji Zunxing.

However, in just a few months, compared to when they were in prison, she and Ji Zunxing had switched their roles as the butcher and the fish.

"Forget it, let's go." Ji Chenxing glanced at Ji Zunxing who was kneeling on the ground, and left without saying anything like "no need to be polite" or "stand up".

Ji Chenxing had been gone for some time before Ji Zunxing dared to stand up from the ground.

A few days ago, the manuscript that Ji Chenxing gave him had already made him commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Although he didn't know why Jun Heng didn't punish him, Ji Zunxing was still afraid in his heart.

He was afraid that if he showed any disrespect to Ji Chenxing in front of these guards, these guards would report him to Jun Heng and kill him on the spot.

The guards walked away, but Ji Zunxing still had one thing he didn't understand. How could Ji Chenxing, who grew up in the general's mansion and whom he personally watched grow up, have such momentum?
Is it because Ji Chenxing died once? Or is it because there is some magic in the other world she went to?
Ji Zunxing walked while using his brain, which was already filled with muscles, to think hard. He even walked in a daze.

It was not until he was nearly hit by a passerby that he suddenly realized that he had to go to the main hall today, and judging from the weather, he was already late!

-

Ji Chenxing arrived at the hall not too late.

To be precise, it was not that Ji Chenxing came early, but that the envoy from the Zhou Kingdom was too arrogant. It was originally said to be one quarter of the Si hour, but now, five quarters had passed and the envoy from the Zhou Kingdom arrived late.

Surrounded by many guards and maids, three men walked into the hall from outside.

These three people are the envoys of Zhou State. Their skin is darker than that of the people of Daliang. The clothes they wear are relatively cool, revealing large areas of muscle.

It can be seen that the temperature in Zhou State is much higher than that in Daliang. Under such high temperature, mosquitoes will surely breed and malaria will be rampant.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Zhou State coveted Daliang.

The clothes worn by the envoys were not only cool but also had many intricate woven patterns. They were rough yet mysterious, which was very different from the customs and culture of Daliang.

Ji Chenxing couldn't help but think that compared with Daliang, Zhou was probably a relatively "backward" country.

Among these three men, the leading man is the tallest and most handsome one.

He has an oval face, a lot of unshaved stubble on his chin, a slightly sunken nose, and very bright eyes.

The two people following behind him looked similar, but their faces were rounder and their eyes were smaller.

In addition to their appearance, their aura was also different. The two men were much inferior to the leading one. Not only were they not as bold as the leading envoy, they were even a little stage frightened.

Ji Chenxing analyzed that these two people were most likely just guards or servants who accompanied the envoy, or the relationship between the three of them was not good, and the leader had an overly strong personality and suppressed them.

Ji Chenxing was analyzing the identity of the envoy, and the envoy was also looking at the people sitting in the hall with his peripheral vision.

Not sure if it was because he had arrived at the table before him, or because of the gorgeous purple color on his body, but the messenger quickly spotted Ji Chenxing out of the corner of his eye.

As if to look at Ji Chenxing, he even turned his head and fixed his gaze on Ji Chenxing.

Jun Heng was sitting in the highest position and could see the most clearly. None of the little movements in the messenger's eyes escaped Jun Heng's eyes.

But this happened in the main hall, and to Jun Heng, this was extremely impolite behavior.

Jun Heng's face turned a little dark, and he cleared his throat, indicating that he could see the messenger's small movements.

Ji Chenxing also took a sip of tea and pretended not to notice the envoy's gaze, but he was thinking in his heart that the envoy was too careless and underestimated the enemy.

But this is not necessarily a good thing.

Ji Chenxing just took a sip and put down the teacup in his hand.

Only after being warned by Jun Heng did the messenger shift his gaze away from Ji Chenxing.

He placed his right hand on his left shoulder, lowered his head slightly, and performed the Zhou Dynasty etiquette towards Jun Heng.

"I am Mo Gu, the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom. I have come to pay my respects to the Emperor of your country on the orders of my monarch."

Following Mogu's words, the two men on his left and right sides also lowered their heads.

No matter what, the outward etiquette must not be wrong.

After the ceremony, Mogu raised his head and extended his hand to the messenger on his left behind him.

"This time I came to Daliang, I brought a personal letter from the king, and now I present it to Your Majesty."

The messenger behind him immediately understood, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it respectfully into Mogu's hand.
