Chapter 19 Chapter 2 The Magnificent and Luxurious Palace of King Zhou

The two ran along the deserted road one after the other. It was just past noon and the sun was scorching hot. There were no pedestrians to be seen along the way due to the heat.Hu'er seemed to be very familiar with this area, and walked the path without any hesitation, turning around a big rock on the left, and jumping over a small ditch on the right, as if he had walked the path thousands of times. After walking for a while, it suddenly opened up in front of my eyes, and there was a rather elegant and clean open space. At the far end of the open space, there was actually a magnificent and luxurious palace!

Wu Huan had seen King Zhou's palace from a distance in Chaoge City, and knew that it was the place where all the officials went to court on weekdays, and the palace where King Zhou usually drank and had fun was inside, and ordinary people couldn't see it.But Wu Huan once heard the servants in the palace talk about the luxury and splendor of the palace known as the "city that never sleeps" among the neighbors.And the palace in front of him looks exactly like the "city that never sleeps" described by the people in the palace. Wu Huan looked at the palace in astonishment, and found that there were a few guards standing at the door, but they were not as heavily guarded as the Chaoge Palace.But even so, this kind of place is not the place where ordinary people like them should come!

"This..." Wu Huan asked in surprise, "What kind of place is this?" "Isn't it the king's palace!" Hu'er smiled indifferently: "What are you doing? Are you afraid?" Wu Huan hesitated for a while, and knew that what she said was right, this luxurious palace was indeed the palace of Shang Dynasty Emperor Zhou in Chentangguan! Today's emperor, King Zhou, is a frivolous person who likes to have fun very much. In addition to building a large palace in Chaoge City, he also built a palace in a nearby territory so that he can live like he is in Chaoge City when he is playing. corrupt life.

It's just a place like this, can anyone come in and out at will? Judging from Hu'er's behavior, it is obvious that she has no problem entering and exiting this place, because she led Wuhuan, running and jumping in the surrounding gardens, and it didn't take long for her to go around the back door of the palace, where there were fewer guards, and some people were still there. Yawning lazily. "We'll just wait here," Hu'er said in a low voice. "At dusk, they will shift to drink, and there will be no guards at that time." The two of them hid in a cave on Mount Jia, the cave was not big enough for two people to squeeze together, Hu'er huddled beside Wu Huan, but a faint fragrance wafted from her hair.

Wu Huan has never been so close to a girl since he was a child. He is a vigorous young man. Although he has a calm personality, when he smells the fragrance of Hu'er, for some reason, his face suddenly becomes hot. However, Hu'er also noticed his abnormality, and still naughtily pressed against his body. "Hello!" Na deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Are you hot?" "No." "Are you thirsty?" "No." "Then..." She pondered and said, "You must be tired from running and a little out of breath?" "Maybe!" Wu Huan reluctantly said, "I'm a little out of breath."

"Be careful!" Hu'er laughed and said, "Seeing that you are so weak, someone needs to take care of you. Do you have parents?" Wu Huan shook her head: "No, my father and mother died when I was very young." "Then aren't you an orphan? Who raised you?" "It's a good father-in-law." "Father-in-law? Is he your grandfather? Your parents died early, so he brought you up?" Wu Huan didn't want to talk more about her youthful past, so she nodded vaguely. "Forget it! Forget it, don't talk about me, let's talk about you! Why are you called 'Hu'er'? Is it nonsense, or nonsense?"

Hu'er shook his head and said with a smile: "My word 'hu'! It's not nonsense, it's the fox of the fox." "Why did you choose that name?" "Because that's my mother's surname! My mother's surname is Linghu, and I was angry with my father, so I stopped calling her by my father's name and called my mother's name." "Are you mad at your father? Why?" Hu'er said angrily: "Because my daddy wants me to marry someone I have never met before, so I don't want to! Then I was scolded by my daddy, and I escaped!"

"Why don't you want to marry that person?" "Because I've never met that man! Although Daddy said he was a noble man, I have never met him at all. How can I marry him?" "Oh..." Wu Huan nodded, but didn't know how to proceed. "I see..." Hu'er rolled her eyes and said mischievously, "I'll marry you, and we'll have a bridal chamber here, so that my father won't force me to marry again." Wuhuan glared at her: "Still talking nonsense here! You are willing, but I am not!" Hu'er pretended to be angry, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that I am not worthy of you? I am not worthy of you, and you are useless, so I will kill you!"

As he was talking, he came to scratch Wuhuan's itch. Wuhuan was a very ticklish person, and Hu'er's hands were very nimble. He kept scratching his armpit. On the one hand, Wuhuan was afraid of getting out. The sound alarmed the guards, and they wanted to block the fox again, making them flustered.In the end, he had no choice but to turn over, hold Hu'er's hand, and press her down with his body. Hu'er looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes were flowing, but there was no expression of fear at all. Although her face is filthy, if you look closely, the parts without dirt are rosy and rosy. Wu Huan met her eyes at close range, Hu'er smiled indifferently, her lips were small and red, and her white teeth Neat and clean.

"Stop playing," Wu Huan said in a low voice, "If the guards overhear, we're finished." Fox nodded. "I want to let you go now, you can't tickle me anymore, you know?" Hu'er rolled her eyes, as if she was about to nod, but suddenly, she raised her head and kissed Wuhuan's lips. Although it was only a short contact, the warm touch made Wu Huan feel like a thunderbolt, his whole body was startled suddenly, and he intuitively pushed, but pushed Hu'er's head back, with a heavy "bang" With a bang, it hit the ground firmly. Wu Huan was startled, and quickly helped her up.

Hu'er grinned in pain, stroked the back of his head and screamed, "It hurts to death! You daredevil." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Wu Huan said with a smile, "If it weren't for you...I wouldn't..." "What if it weren't for me? Could it be that you can throw people so painfully whenever you are unhappy?" Wu Huan apologized again, but fortunately, Hu'er is also a cheerful person, and this little episode soon faded away.The two chatted in the cave, and it didn't take long for the sun to set to the west. Under the twilight rays, the guards gradually left. Hu'er whispered, "They're going to drink and eat now, so we can go in later." After a while, the night gradually covered the land, and most of the guards in front of the palace had already dispersed. Hu'er took Wuhuan's hand, circling left and right, and then turned into the palace from the back door. Walking into the palace, Wu Huan was overwhelmed by the luxurious and magnificent scene inside, and was speechless for a long time. Although no one lived in it, the huge space of the palace was still cleaned very cleanly. A long lamp was lit on the big wall every three steps, illuminating the inside of the palace like daytime. With a "Yahhoo", the fox ran towards the main hall. The center of the hall was covered with a red carpet, and at the end was a high platform. In the center of the high platform was the throne of King Zhou. Hu'er ran a few steps on the red carpet, turned around and saw that Wu Huan was still in a daze, so he ran over and took his hand, and the two ran towards King Zhou's throne. Hu'er half pushed and half pulled Wu Huan onto the high platform, and sat him down on King Zhou's throne.Wu Huan faintly felt something was wrong, and wanted to stand up, but Hu'er pressed down again. "Don't move, I told you not to move!" Hu'er smiled mischievously: "I want to see if you look like a human being when you become an emperor?" Wu Huan shook her head proudly: "Do it for me, I don't want to do it yet! What good is being an emperor?" "Of course it's good to be the emperor!" Hu'er said leisurely: "There are tall cars and horses when you go out. No matter where you go, everyone respects you. If you want a person to go to the right, he will not dare to go to the left. You just Say a word, and the world will listen to you." "Hearing you say that, it seems like you've seen the emperor," Wu Huan pursed her lips, "You don't even think about it before you brag." "Of course, I..." Hu'er opened his mouth, and immediately seemed to say something wrong, and changed the subject without a trace: "A man lives in the world, isn't it just to make meritorious deeds? Is it?" Wu Huan smiled faintly, watching the beggar girl speak loudly in the hall, wanted to say a few words to make fun of her, but held back when the words came to her lips. Hu'er talked there for a while on his own, then turned his head to look at Wuhuan, as if he saw something interesting. "What are you looking at?" Wu Huan wondered, "Is there something on my face?" "No," Hu'er said softly, "Hu'er is just thinking, if you are the Son of Heaven, how wonderful it would be." Wu Huan laughed: "What's so good?" "If you are the emperor," her voice became softer, as if she was dreaming: "I can be your empress, wouldn't that be the best?" "Very good, very good," Wu Huan said with a broken smile, "It's just that there probably won't be an emperor who is so poor that he doesn't even know if he will have food tomorrow! And you little devil, you want to be a queen when you are young , I love dreaming!" Hu'er stared at him thoughtfully, showing an inscrutable smile. "Don't look down on me! One day, maybe you will have to kowtow to me!" "If that's the case, I'll knock harder," Wu Huan laughed loudly, "Who said you are my friend?"
