Chapter 36: Emperor Shahu
Chapter 36: Emperor Shahu
Zhang Zhiyu arrived in front of the palace in a short while, with the little white fox following beside him. The gate in front of them was guarded by four monsters who looked mighty but were actually stupid.
"Eh? Who are you?"
Zhang Zhiyu looked at the four monsters posing in strange shapes, as if they were waiting for him to praise them, and was speechless for a moment.
"Be bold!"
The first monster shouted.
"We are!"
The second monster roared next.
"The Emperor appointed him!"
The third monster...
"The four great guards of the palace!"
The fourth one, no, four monsters roared together.
"Uh, well…hello."
Zhang Zhiyu's eyes trembled for a moment, and he wanted to turn around and leave immediately. Why did these things make his brain feel a little... not working properly?
"Human! This is the important area of the palace!"
"What are you doing here!"
Finally, a red monster came to Zhang Zhiyu and asked loudly.
"I'm here to see your emperor."
Zhang Zhiyu looked at the monster expressionlessly, and finally told it directly the purpose of coming here.
"You can't just see the emperor whenever you want! Who the hell are you?"
The monster was obviously angered by Zhang Zhiyu's arrogant attitude, and he questioned him repeatedly.
"Well, look at it!"
Zhang Zhiyu was too lazy to explain to it. He took out the letter that Rongrong had given him and showed the cover of the letter to the four guards.
"West... Western Regions... Sand Fox Emperor... personally wrote to... Tushan Rongrong..."
"Oh my goodness, distinguished guest!"
The monster read the envelope carefully, and then his attitude towards Zhang Zhiyu suddenly changed 180 degrees. He looked at Zhang Zhiyu with a smile.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, this is the emperor's guest, why don't you lead the way for him!"
After the monster finished shouting, it immediately followed Zhang Zhiyu and asked about his well-being, what he liked to eat and what he liked to play. He even praised the little white fox following Zhang Zhiyu by saying how beautiful its fur was.
……
"You old thing, you're out messing around again. I can't handle you anymore, can I?"
"No, no, no, I won't dare to do that again. I won't dare to do that next time!"
"You're still thinking about next time! I think you're just itching for trouble!"
Finally, Zhang Zhiyu arrived in front of a very luxurious house. However, at this time, hearing the moans and curses coming from the room, Zhang Zhiyu was unable to react for a while.
"Okay, here we are. The emperor is inside. Please wait here for a moment, my dear guest. I will go and inform him."
The red monster was also a little embarrassed when he saw this. He hurriedly said to Zhang Zhiyu, then ran to the door carefully. He first put his ear to the door and listened for a moment. As if he was sure of something, he suddenly knocked on the door hard and yelled towards the inside.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The envoy from Tushan is here to visit!"
After roaring with all his might, the red monster retreated and waited quietly for the door to open.
The people in the house seemed to notice something and the noise suddenly stopped.
Zhang Zhiyu looked at the retreating red monster, and then vaguely heard a rough female voice from inside the door saying something like "I'll deal with you later". His face instantly became very interesting.
This isn't... domestic violence...
"Squeak!"
Finally, after waiting for a while, the door of the room was opened, and then a bloated old man with a big bump on his forehead poked his head out.
"Meet the Emperor!"
When the four monsters saw the old man coming out, they immediately knelt down.
Zhang Zhiyu looked at the familiar Shahu Emperor in his memory and thought of the voice he had just heard. He suppressed his laughter and performed a standard Taoist alliance ceremony.
"Meet the Sand Fox King!"
Zhang Zhiyu's appearance also stunned the old man Shahu. After observing Zhang Zhiyu for a few minutes, he also found that something was wrong with Zhang Zhiyu. He pretended to cough twice to ease the embarrassment of the situation.
"Ahem, well, why is the Tushan envoy a Taoist priest? Never mind, come in."
The old man Shahu was a little confused, but he was obviously too lazy to think about it. After he finished speaking, he retracted his head. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyu followed him.
"This... is it a war or a robbery?"
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zhiyu saw broken pieces of furniture all over the floor, as well as a lot of decorations, all smashed to the ground.
"My wife has a bad temper, don't mind it, it's just a small scene."
Seeing Zhang Zhiyu's surprised expression, the old man Shahu said without blushing or beating his heart, but just after he finished this sentence, a slipper flew towards his head through the window next to him.
The old man Shahu quickly adjusted his posture and finally avoided the slipper. He looked at the window in fear, and then he sat on the only small stool in the room that was still intact and examined Zhang Zhiyu.
"Tell me, what did Tushan ask you to do?"
The old man Shahu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and put the problem forward.
"...Your Majesty the Sand Fox Emperor, everything is in the letter."
Seeing that old man Shahu remained calm in the face of danger, Zhang Zhiyu was impressed. He did not beat around the bush and directly handed the letter to Emperor Shahu.
"Well...Tushan Rongrong..."
The old man Shahu picked up the letter, looked at the name on the envelope thoughtfully, and then tore the envelope open, but there was nothing on the letter inside.
"Um?"
The old sand fox was not surprised to see this scene, but what surprised him was the human standing in front of him. He looked at Zhang Zhiyu with a strange look, even a little surprised.
How could Tushan give a letter of this level to a human Taoist priest...
I saw the old man Sand Fox gathering his demonic power, and then carefully releasing it onto the letter. Then, gradually, a sentence appeared on the letter.
"What! Starting from this time, isn't this clearly bullying? No, bullying the sand fox!"
The old man Shahu looked at the words in the letter and became angry for a moment, but soon he fell silent. He looked at the words and thought for a long time, then turned to look at Zhang Zhiyu.
"Okay, I know everything, but human, can you tell me what your relationship with Tushan is?"
Looking at Sha Hu's gossipy expression, Zhang Zhiyu was caught off guard for a moment. He didn't expect that the old man would actually ask about his relationship with Tu Shan.
Joke, Tushan Second Uncle should understand...
"Well, Your Majesty the Sand Fox Emperor, Tushan and I are in a cooperative relationship..."
Zhang Zhiyu answered the old man Shahu's question hesitantly, but then he realized that something seemed wrong.
Finally, after asking a few more questions related to the journey here, the old man Shahu let Zhang Zhiyu leave.
Just after Zhang Zhiyu walked out of the palace, the original Shahu old man also quietly turned into a stream of flying sand and left Shahu City.
