345: Meeting the Emperor is like meeting the Empress!
Guo Feng was shocked when he saw this imperial decree.
At this moment, he recalled.
In various parts of the Imperial Capital, there were many places with faint marks of the Sanxingdui Sun Bird.
He had seen them before but hadn't paid them any mind.
However, when he saw the symbol of the Sun Bird, with its head and tail connected, encircling the sun, engraved on the imperial decree, he suddenly realized!
He couldn't help but point at the symbol on the imperial decree and ask, "What is this symbol?"
"The symbol of the Yan Yang Empire's Great Emperor. Throughout the entire Empire, only the Imperial Palace can create such a symbol. Seeing this symbol is like seeing the Great Emperor."
Ninth Chief Eunuch quickly said, "So, Young Master Guo, this imperial decree is not only a symbol of entry and exit, but also a symbol of status."
"Oh."
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked again, "How did this symbol come about? Which generation of Great Emperor left it behind?"
"This servant is not clear about that. It should be something from ten thousand years ago."
Ninth Chief Eunuch quickly shook his head, then reminded, "Young Master Guo, this concerns the Emperor. In the future, outside, do not ask about it casually."
"Understood."
Guo Feng's mood had calmed down a lot at this moment. He nodded and put away the imperial decree.
Afterward, he walked back with Ninth Chief Eunuch.
They chatted along the way.
But Ninth Chief Eunuch, seemingly enthusiastic, was actually cautious. He would chat more about things he could talk about.
For things he couldn't, he would mostly prevaricate.
Soon, they returned to the front hall of the Hall of Political Affairs.
Qin Yu and the other person quickly stood up.
"Qin Hostage, Her Majesty has important matters today, so she will not receive your crew. Your crew may leave."
Ninth Chief Eunuch looked at the two of them and said with a somewhat distant tone.
"Ah?!"
Qin Yu's face changed, and he quickly asked, "Didn't we agree to have an audience with Her Majesty before?"
"Are you talking too much nonsense?"
Guo Feng immediately cursed at Qin Yu, "If Empress says she won't see you, it means she has something to do and won't see you. Get lost quickly."
"Presumptuous!"
The old man immediately became furious, "How can the Hall of Political Affairs be a place for a yellow-mouthed brat like you to roar?!"
Qin Yu also said loudly, "That's right, what is your status? A pretty boy gigolo, how dare you here..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Guo Feng take out the imperial decree.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Everyone also quickly knelt down and bowed to the imperial decree.
Then, they stood up with shocked expressions.
Qin Yu stared blankly at Guo Feng, "imperial decree? Why do you have an imperial decree?"
"I picked it up on the road."
Guo Feng sneered.
"How is that possible!" Qin Yu looked disbelieving.
"You know it's impossible, yet you still ask? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Guo Feng rolled his eyes at Qin Yu, then looked at Ninth Chief Eunuch, "Ninth Chief Eunuch, with this imperial decree in hand, if I kill this hostage who roared in the Hall of Political Affairs, there's no problem, right?"
"Uh..."
Ninth Chief Eunuch was stunned, then gave a dry laugh, "Theoretically, holding the imperial decree is like seeing Her Majesty. You can punish on behalf of Her Majesty, executing first and reporting later."
At this moment, he suddenly understood what Guo Feng meant by saying he was naturally a profligate.
In the Hall of Political Affairs, if he wanted to, he would dare to execute a royal hostage.
If he were outside, wouldn't he even dare to execute the Five Dukes and Three Ministers?
"Did you hear that?"
Guo Feng felt great at this moment. He hadn't expected that feudal monarchy also had a very satisfying side.
A small token could decide life and death!
He said, glaring fiercely at Qin Yu.
He wasn't joking.
If Qin Yu dared to blabber another word, he would start killing people.
"Yes..."
Qin Yu was extremely angry.
However, this kid was holding an imperial decree, and they were in the Imperial Palace. If he really made a move, then Qin Yu, resisting, would be a capital offense.
Not resisting...
He would also die!
Damn it!
He actually encountered a profligate even more profligate than him!
He cupped his hands, "Then my crew will take our leave. We will come to have an audience with Her Majesty next time."
He said, helplessly retreating from the Hall of Political Affairs' front hall with the old man.
"Ninth Chief Eunuch, farewell."
Guo Feng then cupped his hands towards Ninth Chief Eunuch.
Ninth Chief Eunuch smiled, "Young Master Guo, this old servant wishes you an early completion of your mission. At that time, this old servant will host a banquet of heroes for you in the palace."
"Good."
Guo Feng smiled, then left the Hall of Political Affairs with Imperial Tutor's Daughter Nan Liru.
The two walked out of the Imperial Palace without speaking.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, they got into the carriage.
Only then did Nan Liru ask, "How was it? Did you see Empress? How do you feel?"
"I feel good, and Empress is indeed very good."
Guo Feng smiled slightly.
Nan Liru then said, "I hope you succeed soon. If you need anything, you can send someone to the Imperial Preceptor's Residence to find our crew."
"No problem."
Guo Feng nodded.
He also saw that Nan Liru knew about the mission Empress had given him.
This indicated that the Imperial Preceptor's Residence was Empress's confidant.
He then thought that Nan Liru claimed the Imperial Preceptor's Residence was the strongest intelligence agency in the entire Empire.
And Empress also said that she had the strongest intelligence agency.
So, he quickly guessed that the Imperial Preceptor's Residence was Empress's eyes throughout the entire Empire.
He immediately smiled, "Then if I need intelligence, will your crew cooperate with me?"
"It depends on what intelligence you need. If it's not the most confidential, then of course there's no problem."
Nan Liru nodded.
"That's good. Give me the intelligence on Guo Wang City's hostage Guo Xiaoyi, and also the detailed situation of the Six Harmonies Sect."
Guo Feng was not polite and immediately spoke.
"Tomorrow morning, I will have someone deliver it to the Prefecture of the Princess for you."
Nan Liru did not refuse either.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the Prefecture of the Princess. Guo Feng got out of the carriage and bid farewell to Nan Liru.
Then, he saw Hua Yinxi smiling and waiting for him at the entrance.
He walked up to her and smiled, "Why are you waiting for me at the entrance? Afraid I'd run away?"
"Of course not!"
Hua Yinxi made a funny face, then asked, "Did you see Auntie?"
"I did. She's a great beauty, just a little fierce."
Guo Feng smiled.
"Shhh—"
Hua Yinxi widened her eyes and quickly made a shushing gesture, "Brother Feng, do you want to die?"
"What's wrong with that? Isn't it a compliment to Empress? I'd say the same to her face."
Guo Feng shrugged, then said, "By the way, does our Six Harmonies Sect have an office in the Imperial Capital? If I go to join the sect, is it just a matter of going through some procedures?"
"Ah?!"
Hua Yinxi widened her eyes, "Why do you suddenly want to join our sect?"
"You don't want me to?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Then forget it. With my talent, I can go to any of the Ten Great Sects."
"No, don't!"
Hua Yinxi quickly waved her hand, "Tomorrow, our crew will go to the office, and then find an Elder to perform the ceremony for you."
"Alright, you go arrange it. I need to rest."
After Guo Feng finished speaking, he teleported several times in a row before returning to his residence.
You know, his current furthest teleportation distance is two kilometers!
This Prefecture of the Princess is ridiculously large!
As soon as he returned to his dwelling, he couldn't help but sit cross-legged and say, "This divine sense consumption is too fast, but it's also an excellent way to improve combat power."
"I'll cultivate for a while first, and then spend money to improve, at least to raise the Great Dao Heart Refining Art to the third-grade divine sense level."
"Even, fourth-grade!"
"This way, the amplification brought by divine sense will greatly increase, and mental power will also greatly improve. At that time, it will be excellent for mental deterrence!"
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a spiritual energy primordial stone and began to circulate the Great Dao Heart Refining Art.
