Not only did Shangguan Wan 'er think so, even Mingshi Yin and Yi Xing were envious of Pu Qianye.
Pu Qianye had received special permission from the empress to accept the Kun. This was an extremely honorable treatment!
Even the current prime minister did not have such a privilege!
……
What no one noticed was that a middle-aged man with scars on his face was looking at Pu Qianye and the rest with a strange expression. He asked the head of the diplomatic team in Japanese,"
"Who are they?"
The leader of the Japanese diplomatic mission turned to look at the middle-aged man and said in a low voice,
"Mr. Sword Saint, I know you like to challenge the strong, but I don't recommend you to challenge these people!”
"They are the sages of Jixia Academy. None of them are peerless kings that you can defeat!”
It turned out that this scar-faced middle-aged man was the famous Japanese Sword Saint, Takeshi Musashi.
Takeshi Musashi was not originally a member of the diplomatic mission. Because both sides encountered a small storm when crossing the sea, Takeshi Musashi's boat accidentally sank. The diplomatic mission fished him out of the sea, and Takeshi Musashi became a guard of the diplomatic mission.
When the head of the diplomatic mission learned that Miyamoto Musashi only wanted to challenge Li Bai, the Sword Immortal of the Tang Empire, he promised him that he would help him find Li Bai after the mission was completed and fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Unexpectedly, when Takeshi Musashi saw the four Jixia Sages descending from the sky, his fighting spirit was suddenly ignited.
The head of the diplomatic mission quickly reminded Takeshi Musashi not to go and die.
Miyamoto Takeshi was famous in Japan and was considered invincible, but that was only limited to Japan.
He wasn't even a peerless king tier, so he definitely wasn't a match for the Three Sages of Jixia!
A non-king tier expert against a king tier was basically courting death!
Therefore, the head of the diplomatic mission was trying to persuade Miyamoto Musashi not to be rash.
However…
Miyamoto Musashi's eyes were locked on Pu Qianye, and he retorted in a deep voice,"
"No, that young sage is not a peerless king. I can challenge him!”
The head of the diplomatic mission was stunned when he heard this. He shook his head again.
"Mr. Sword Saint, that Mr. Pu is the future husband of the Great Tang Empress. If you hurt him, you can forget about returning to Japan!”
"Besides, didn't you only want to challenge the Great Tang Sword Immortal Li Bai? Don't cause any more trouble!"
Miyamoto Musashi was expressionless.
"I just want to test my Sword Dao. I can't go back to Japan anymore.”
"As for challenging Li Bai, of course I won't give up!”
As soon as he said this, the head of the diplomatic delegation immediately looked constipated.
"Then promise me not to issue a challenge in the palace, or it will bring me great trouble!”
This condition was not difficult. Takeshi Musashi nodded silently, closed his eyes, and did not speak anymore.
The head of the diplomatic mission heaved a sigh of relief. After today, his mission would be completed.
After that, Miyamoto Musashi could do whatever he wanted. He didn't care anymore.
……
The soft conversation between the two Japanese people was originally unremarkable.
However, when Pu Qianye swept his gaze across the guests, he immediately noticed the presence of Miyamoto Musashi.
"Miyamoto? Why was he in the Japanese diplomatic mission?”
Pu Qianye could not figure it out. However, considering that the Three Sages of Jixia could come to Chang 'an to open a branch, it was not particularly miraculous for Takeshi Musashi to sneak into the envoy group!
……
As Pu Qianye and his group took their seats, all the guests had arrived.
The Empress, who was dressed in luxurious attire, walked out of the back hall under the guidance of several palace maids and appeared in the main hall of the Myriad God Palace.
The empress appeared, and the guests stood up to greet her according to etiquette.
For some reason, Pu Qianye subconsciously sized up the empress.
To his disappointment, the empress was wearing a thin veil on her face…
This was not an ordinary veil!
Instead, it was a mask formed by the Armor of Concealment…
The pale golden gauze covered half of the empress's face. Although it was clear that she was a beauty, it was impossible to clearly distinguish her facial features!
Pu Qianye couldn't even tell the exact age of the empress…
This was a little awkward.
One had to know that Pu Qianye had another purpose for entering the palace this time. He wanted to see what the empress looked like.
He also wanted to know if he had escaped from the Myriad God Palace, or if he had missed out on some beautiful scenery.
From the looks of it, the empress was still hiding her face with her pipa in her hands. The scenery was hazy, and he still couldn't get an answer.
"Is Young Master Pu regretting it a little?”
The old man suddenly asked with a smile.
The old teacher knew the empress's true age and appearance. He felt that Pu Qianye and the empress were a good match and had always wanted to matchmake them. Therefore, he had been encouraging them to do so.
"What are you talking about?"
Pu Qianye felt that the old man's smile was a little improper.
He did not look like the principal of Jixia Academy at all.
"You really don't understand? The empress…"
The old man wanted to say something, but Zhuang Zhou suddenly stopped him.
" Mind your words, Master. This isn't the academy…"
Zhuang Zhou said expressionlessly. He thought to himself,'You old and indecent teacher, how dare you pick a matchmaking match? Do you think the empress is deaf?'!
