Chapter 180 The King of Qi summons
What Hua Kai didn't expect was that this palace guard of the Xiantian realm quietly took them away from the back door of the official inn, and went to the west side of the palace through a side door. Hua Kai saw that the two of them were secretly brought in, and he was probably sure that the King of Qi would personally promote the Hua family to a noble family tomorrow. However, as the master of the entire Qi State, the Qi family summoned the Hua family and did not dare to let them go through the main gate. This shows that the Qi family now wants to recruit the Hua family, but dare not come openly.
Passing through the courtyard where several palace maids live, Hua Kai followed the palace guards to a large courtyard. Compared with ordinary noble families, the most obvious feature of this palace is its grandeur.
The courtyard is large, and the house is built larger than ordinary houses. Many of the pavilions and patterns are large patterns, which look unusually magnificent.
A eunuch walked up to Hua Kai and searched him. Hua Kai knew that the King of Qi might live in this palace.
As expected, Hua Kai smelled a strong incense burner smell as soon as he entered the house. The incense burner might be burning high-quality spiritual wood. It is said that the smell of some spiritual wood after burning has a strange effect, but these spiritual woods are generally above the level of 7th grade, which Hua Kai has not seen yet.
The guard who led Hua Kai and Hua Zichen into the house left. A young eunuch saw the two and signaled them not to talk, and took them into the inner room.
"Your Majesty! Hua Kai and Hua Zichen are here!" The young eunuch entered the room and said to the King of Qi who was sitting at the desk in the room.
Hua Kai looked at the Lord of Qi sitting in the chair in front of him. His face looked very old, but his eyes were extremely deep. Hua Kai just glanced at him lightly and stopped looking. They felt that the strength of the old man in front of them was as deep as the void. If he wanted to kill them, they would not even have the chance to hide in space.
"Meet Your Majesty!" Hua Kai and Hua Zichen saluted together.
"Well! Hua Kai, the author of [Romance of the Three Kingdoms], the inventor of [Hua's Paper], brought a small family to the level comparable to the seventh-grade family in two years. It is rare to see a young genius in a century." The King of Qi looked at Hua Kai and said lightly.
"It's just a casual work, not worthy of praise from the king!" Hua Kai replied modestly!
"Haha! Hua Zichen, killed 21 people in the Xiantian realm with the strength of the Qi training realm in the battlefield of Leling. There is a great possibility that he will enter the foundation building in the future. Now there are no more than three people in Linzi City who can compare with him. It is not an exaggeration to call him the pride of heaven." The King of Qi said quietly, his voice was not loud, but it gave people a feeling that this was the truth.
Hua Kai had heard that the king of Qi was also a master of Confucianism and famous schools. Only in this way could he lead the Qi family to join the ranks of the seven first-grade families with the strength of the foundation building realm. The words of the masters are the truth. Many people ask the masters for a word but cannot get it.
"Today, I invite the Hua family to the palace. One is that I am eager to meet the two geniuses of Qi State. The other is that I want to ask if the Hua family needs help from the Qi family! The 6th-rank and above families in Linzi City will not interfere in the affairs of Guang County. Although Qi State was defeated by Yan State this time, the Hua family's contributions cannot be buried. You can tell me what reward you need!" King Qi said softly.
Hua Kai also understood what King Qi meant. The Qi family wanted to win over the Hua family, but he would not interfere in everything in Guang County. The Qi family was very optimistic about the Hua family and wanted to have a good relationship with the Hua family. Hua Kai can propose the reward tomorrow. It is rare for a monarch to treat a family that has not yet been promoted to a noble family like this!
"The Hua family has something to ask for, and I hope the monarch can fulfill it!" Hua Kai suddenly said at this time, and Hua Zichen looked at Hua Kai with some confusion.
The monarch said that this was the monarch's attitude. It was too much for you, an ordinary family, to make demands on the monarch. Hearing Hua Kai say this, the King of Qi smiled. He has lived for nearly 500 years and has seen all kinds of people, but today, the young head of the Hua family surprised him.
"Tell me, let's see if I can fulfill my promise!" King Qi said with a smile.
"My fifth uncle and Princess Ji Le of Lu are in love with each other, and I want to ask the king to be a matchmaker. This [Hundred Longevity Pill] was accidentally obtained by the Hua family. I think it is the most suitable for the king. Please accept it!" Hua Kai said, taking out a jade box and holding it over his chest!
As a great man, how could the King of Qi not know about the [Hundred Longevity Pill]? He looked at Hua Kai quietly. This young man was so interesting that he actually wanted to make a deal with him!
No one has successfully refined the [Hundred Longevity Pill] for hundreds of years. The significance of this [Hundred Longevity Pill] to himself and the Qi family is unimaginable.
The King of Qi seemed calm, but his heart was turbulent. He raised his hand to signal, and the eunuch took the jade box in Hua Kai's hand to the King of Qi.
Just by opening it and taking a look at the three layers of Danyun on the precious pill, the King of Qi knew that this pill was correct. He took it under his nose and smelled it and he knew the effect of this precious pill.
"I accept this [Hundred Longevity Pill]! I will send someone to Lu State in a few days to propose marriage, and I will inform you if there is a result!" King Qi said.
Hua Kai couldn't help but smile when he heard that the King of Qi accepted the [Hundred Longevity Pill]. The marriage between the fifth uncle and Princess Ji Le was finally settled, and the [Hundred Longevity Pill] of the Hua family was accepted. The Qi family received a great favor from the Hua family this time, and he would definitely take care of the Hua family, because the King of Qi is a Confucian and famous master, and a model of morality in the world!
Sent back to the official inn outside the palace, Hua Kai and Hua Zichen both entered and exited from the back door. The official inn was full of people from the Qi family, and the Qi family didn't want anyone to know that the King of Qi had summoned the Hua family alone. This also shows one thing, that the conflict between the Qi family and other big families in Linzi City has reached a very intense time.
Just now, I saw that King Qi Hua Kai did not explore his attributes, because he knew that if he explored him at this time, he would definitely be discovered, and he did not dare to offend King Qi casually.
Hua Kai returned to the room and lay on the bed, his thoughts could not calm down for a long time!
Giving this [Hundred Longevity Pill] to King Qi is of great significance. King Qi has an extra 20 years of life, and there is still one year of peak period. This Linzi City and even the entire Qingzhou may have a big change, but this has little to do with the Hua family, just wait and see!
After waking up from the [Big Dream Visualization Method], Hua Kai couldn't fall asleep. He was thinking about the matters of tomorrow's court. The promotion of the Hua family to a noble family is not a trivial matter. It will definitely attract attention from all parties. Tomorrow's reward will be at the forefront. His performance will determine whether the future family's road to a noble family will be easy.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a strong energy wave flashed by the Hua family. This energy gave Hua Kai an irresistible feeling. He hurriedly got up and saw his fifth uncle pushing open his door and walking in.
"There is a powerful person in the foundation building realm fighting in the palace of King Qi. Kai'er, you go into the secret space to hide!" Hua Zichen, who had already wrapped his whole body in the [Eight Treasures Night Name Armor], shouted to Hua Kai anxiously.
The battle in the foundation building realm is not a joke. The aftermath of the battle may cost Hua Kai his life. He hurriedly entered the [family secret space] to hide. After more than ten minutes, his fifth uncle Hua Zichen also came in!
"The battle is over! The palace was not damaged much. It may be that a powerful person fought with King Qi. It seems that King Qi won. This Linzi City is much more complicated than we imagined. Someone dared to go to the palace to fight King Qi. It seems that tomorrow is not as simple as just rewarding." Hua Zichen took off his heavy armor and said.
"King Qi is one of the strongest people in the world. With the [Hundred Longevity Pills] we gave him, no one will be King Qi's opponent unless the other six major kingdoms take action. If there is any accident tomorrow, I will hide in the family space as soon as possible. We will meet in the space and find a way to escape!" Hua Kai said after thinking for a while.
The Hua family is one of the big giants in Guang County, but when they arrive in Linzi, they are as weak as ants. If they are not careful, they may suffer a catastrophe!
There was silence in the official inn outside the family space, as if the battle just now had never happened. The streets were also unusually quiet. Everyone kept silent when encountering such things. If they were unfortunately affected, they could only count their bad luck.
The next day, as soon as the cocks crowed, the official inn attendants began to ring the bells, and a simple breakfast was sent into the house. Hua Kai had just finished washing and had two bites of breakfast when someone shouted that it was time for the morning court.
In this world, generally only seven major countries have morning courts. Qi has a big court on the first day of each month and a small court on the fifteenth. If there is anything special, it is mostly discussed by several major families together, and occasionally some small and medium-sized families will be invited to go. Today is the time for the small court on the fifteenth, but because there are many families invited by the Qi family to receive rewards this time, it seems very lively.
I came to the gate of the palace with my fifth uncle. The guards checked everyone's identity and everyone entered the palace together.
Everyone came to "Yangyuntai", which is the largest palace in the inner palace. It is usually used for officials to wait and rest during the morning court. Hua Kai saw that there were already hundreds of people waiting quietly here. No matter whether they were in the Qi training realm or the innate realm, no one dared to act rashly here, especially since a battle had just taken place in the palace last night.
Hua Kai saw that the heads of various noble families in Guang County were waiting quietly inside. No one dared to whisper to each other, while some noble families in Linzi City gathered together and talked quietly. They were all heads of noble families above the fifth rank.
After waiting for more than an hour, an old eunuch came to "Yangyuntai" and shouted that it was time to go to the palace.
The noble families of Qi State walked to the inner palace one by one according to their official positions and their own strength. The Hua family was not considered a noble family and could only walk at the back. Hua Kai glanced at Hua Zichen and motioned him to wait here, and followed all the families to the inner palace hall.
The palace in front of him was the most magnificent building in Qi State, the "Golden Palace"!
The officials of Linzi City with official positions gradually entered the palace, and Hua Kai could only bow his head and stand in the last row and wait quietly.
After a while, the bell rang, and the King of Qi went to court. The court meeting began.
An old eunuch dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly walked out of the "Golden Palace" and shouted that the King of Qi had ordered all the heads of the noble families to enter the palace!
Usually, the officials of Qi would enter the palace after the meeting was over and the noble families were rewarded. Today, the King of Qi actually let all the noble families enter the palace to listen to the court. Hua Kai knew that the King of Qi wanted to show his power to all the noble families, so what would happen to the Tian family this time?
