An ordinary Palace Maid, this was Zhao Ju's answer to the emperor's orders.

Xie E had obviously ignored this "normal" word.

Who exactly was the Palace Maid? Furthermore, Xie E was completely unable to imagine what kind of situation the people who were suitable for such an important role amongst the nearly ten thousand palace concubines.

It was this typical short-circuit negligence that resulted in Xie E and his next reunion with his that was still far away!

Zhao Zhen had countless of reasons to happily spend her seventeenth birthday. Zhao Ju was also happy for her sister, but as for himself, she felt an inexplicable sense of sadness, because Xie E and Zhao Zhen had actually embraced each other without restraint in front of him.

Siemenqing prepared to return to the Qing River, but Xie Chi decided to go with him.

With regards to Qing He, this place that did not know the bottom of the heart, Xie E could not calm down. Only when he familiarized himself with the people there, would it be equivalent to removing a ticking time bomb for himself.

Xie E's request to visit his family was quickly approved by Zhao Ji. In order to allow Xie E to return home in glory, Zhao Ji was bestowed the title of a Monarch of the Wen Hua Hall. He was obviously bestowed an illustrious birth to Xie E, which made him look at Zhao Ju with more or less respect.

Xie E thanked them for their kindness and took his leave.

Although Zhao Ju was introverted, her eyes revealed a reluctance to part, but she did not dare express it in front of Zhao Zhen. On the contrary, Zhao Zhen was surprisingly gentle, to the point where she even called herself a Little Devil King if she did not cause a ruckus, following Xie E out of the palace.

Xie E was secretly puzzled, but right when he was about to leave, he went to visit Zhang Xin, leaving him with fifty gold. Zhang Xin was moved, and repeatedly reminded him to be careful.

The Wang Family brothers were responsible for Xie E's safety and were thus allowed to travel together with him.

Once everyone had left the Bian Liang City, Xie E gave the order to change into casual attire. Xie E and Ximen Qing were disguised as guests, the Wang brothers and the six guards were dressed as guards.

In his previous life, Xie E was a top-notch expert on grave robbing. He had a professional level sense of smell towards the surrounding environment, especially towards the potential dangerous auras.

Xie E sensed that something must have happened on this journey.

Ximen Qing had the highest level of martial arts amongst everyone, but Ximen Qing did not have such sharp perception, and could only tell that Xie E was a little too cautious, but since it was Xie E's idea, everyone had to obey him, at least, not flaunting their presence would not be a bad thing, at least they would be able to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

At least a thousand kilometers away from the Kai Feng Palace to Qing He County, Ximen Qing even brought along a family member, their journey being extremely slow.

Xie E was not in a hurry to get to the Qing River.

Ximen Qing and the Wang brothers only cared about traveling to the large prefectures and counties. Every place they passed by, they would pick the biggest inn to stay in.

In Xie E's heart, he was only thinking of finding a pure Yin virgin to remove the "Incantation of Magic" on him.

It really wasn't easy to find one. They watched helplessly as the group of people continued to shout and laugh to their heart's content.

On this day, a group of people arrived at the Xiang Prefecture. A journey of five hundred kilometers to the east would be the Great Hall of Fame.

Xiang Prefecture had always been an important town in the north. During the Song Liao war, many times the Liao Kingdom invaded, but they were all firmly held back by the Song Army — Great Hall of State was the first line, so calling it a Xiang Prefecture was not an exaggeration.

Due to the weakening of the State of Liaoning, they were too tired to deal with the rising Jin State, so they were already powerless to go south. The Xiang Prefecture was also able to recuperate and after more than ten years of development, they gradually flourished.

There is a fireworks resort in the State of Xiangzhou. Its name is Tsui Ying Restaurant. Xie Cha, Xi Menqing, and several others have long heard of it in the roadside restaurant.

The moment they entered Xiang Prefecture City, the Wang brothers could not help but clamor that they wanted to go to the Emerald Phoenix Restaurant, which made Pan Jinlian and Chun Mei extremely unhappy.

Ximen Qing's heart was also itchy, but he found a place to stay at the Pleasant Lai Inn.

It just so happened that the Elegant Luck Inn was right in front of the Emerald Eagle Restaurant!

On the opposite side, Lustre and Yingying could be heard laughing and talking incessantly. The few of them could not even sit still. They eagerly ran towards the Jade Gem Restaurant, leaving the two girls behind in the room.

He had been tormented to the point where his upper body had turned dry. Every time he had gone to the Windy Moon Plaza, he had been able to see the real thing and couldn't move an inch. He could only get drunk.

Today, Xie E was determined not to go, so how could Ximen Qing and the Wang brothers be willing to leave Xie E alone?

Although Xie E had already seen the charm of the Song Dynasty's technical institute on the way here, there were obvious differences in the Jade Owl Restaurant. Just looking at the two stone lions at the entrance, they were actually carved using high quality Dali stones.

The few of them were about to enter when they saw the two attendants by the door suddenly raise their hands to block their way. "Hold it!"

Wang Hai and the few guards were all dressed as attendants, but Xie E and Ximen Qing did not have much of an air, and were used to each other's clothes.

The two servants looked at Ximen Qing and Xie E carefully. Although they were handsome and confident, and dressed decently, the servants did not understand the rules and looked down on the two of them.

Wang Hai rolled his eyes strangely, "What does that mean?"

A rather handsome young boy chuckled and said, "Are you guys looking for some tricks?"

"Nonsense, why didn't you find a trick when I came here?"

Wang Hai was stunned.

The servant smiled and pointed to a small alley to the right of the opposite door. "I think you've all come to the wrong place. Where should we go if we're looking for some tricks?"

Wang De was puzzled, "Then what are you doing here?"

The manservant folded his arms across his chest and did not answer with a smile.

Xie E felt that it was strange. He looked in the direction the servant had pointed, only to see that the alley was also quite lively.

Xie E suddenly understood, so the servant meant that his own group of people did not have the qualifications to enter the Jade Ni-Ying Restaurant!

Xie E whispered to Ximen Qing for a while, and when he heard the question, his anger boiled up. The servant boy with the halberd pointed at him shouted, "Blind your dog eyes, I really want to see what kind of trash you have here!"

A trace of ridicule flashed across the servant's face. He suddenly turned around and pointed to a small golden signboard. On it was written: "Fourth grade of the art, Fourth grade, no entry!"

Hey, this is really something.

Xie E carefully thought about it, and along the way, he heard some stories about the Jade Nest. Originally, they were all about the alleyway across from the Jade Nest, where peddlers could only go to have fun, while the real Jade Nook Restaurant could only be entered by senior officials of the imperial court who were at least civil and second rank of military officials!

Xie E commanded everyone to retreat, and gently explained the situation to the few of them, leaving them tongue-tied.

There was no need to mention it, Xie E was a dignified second rank; Ximen Qing had a title, and the Wang brothers were barely fourth rank inner guards' commanders, the others were even worse.

When the servant saw everyone retreat, the mocking expression on his face intensified.

Ximen Qing let out a heavy snort, as he took out the Nine Dragon Pendant from his bosom.

The jade pendant on his body was a symbol of his identity, and the dragon pendant was the royal token. Speaking of the nine dragons carved on the jade pendant, it was only the emperor himself.

The servant was obviously well-informed. When he saw Long Ya, he immediately panicked and respectfully went before everyone. He knelt down and said, "This lowly one has eyes, please forgive me!"
