Chapter 271 (1/2)

”Old thirty-six, I'll accept your filial piety. I'll give you a pair of words and ink for your recent achievements.” the eunuch read the imperial edict solemnly.

The imperial edict is still the whole vernacular, not obscure, and even humorous.

”Congratulations to the king. The emperor was delighted to see your letter back to Beijing. He chose a pair of calligraphy treasures from his study as a reward.

This is a special honor that many other princes and even the crown prince of the fourth highness have not received. ”

The chief eunuch closed the imperial edict and then smiled at Hong Yu. The pleats on his face were piled together, showing some feminine and deep flavor, but it seemed to imply:

”It seems that the prince is really spoiled. The climate has become a pattern, and the emperor dotes on him.”

”Thank you, father-in-law, for travelling thousands of miles. He came to pass the message.” Hong Yu quickly took out a bottle of pills from his arms, but it was Zhihua pills, one of which was worth thousands of yuan, but there were more than a dozen pills in this bottle, which was very valuable.

”Why do we have to work hard? It's just doing errands for the imperial court, but the Lord's job is to fight in the wilderness, and our family can only help the emperor and the Lord run errands and pass a word.” the eunuch is also a person who knows the goods. His eyes are sharp. Knowing that Hong Yu handed over the pill is valuable, he quickly put it away quietly, and then his smile became more brilliant: ”In other words, the construction of the Lord's fief is really perfect, with complete facilities. Even the roads lead to the pass. The roads are paved with pure steel and mud, flat and solid, not even a bit muddy. There are even post stations on both sides of the road. Our family comes all the way and takes a rest, but it doesn't seem to be on the way, but on vacation and sightseeing.”

”How many more days will your father-in-law stay with me? I'll send someone to take your father-in-law to enjoy the scenery of my fiefdom and wilderness?” Hong Yu also knows that these eunuchs can't offend, but they should be entertained, otherwise they don't know how to arrange themselves behind the back and blow the wind to Emperor Hong Wu.

”No! We have to leave immediately after passing on the decree. We have to wait for our family to return to the palace. We are in a hurry and dare not delay.” the eunuch waved his hand and asked people to put down the jade plate containing the decree.

”That father-in-law, go slowly. When I return to the palace and meet him again, I will treat him well and satisfy him.” Hong Yu nodded and polite, watched the eunuchs leave, and then saw a painting and calligraphy on the jade plate full of imperial edicts.

The painting and calligraphy are gray as a whole, and there are mottled lines on it. But it is not paper, but more like some kind of monster leather. It emits a faint evil spirit and seems to be able to carry great power.

The painting of this book is three feet long, but there are two rows of large character couplets on it. The handwriting is very domineering. It is almost overwhelming, which gives people a sense of shock.

The first couplet is: I say you can, you can, or you can't!

The second line is: say you can't, you can't, you can't!

But there is still a blank space, without a horizontal inscription, which seems to be waiting for the latecomers to fill in.

Just a few words and a pair of couplets have the spirit of dominating the world and suppressing immortals and demons.

Each word is like a dragon, and the golden mans jump, as if they were alive. They want to jump out of the paper, turn into a real dragon and soar for nine days.

Hong Yu looked at the couplet and was speechless. The whole person was distracted. His face became pale and breathed heavily.

He seemed to see the mighty emperor Hongwu standing in front of him talking.
