"Are you really Mr. Le Hou?"
At the gate of Handan City, the soldiers guarding the city kept wiping their eyes with the back of their hands, as if something unbelievable had happened in front of them.
"What's wrong? Am I very famous?"
Le Hou's expression was very depressed. These soldiers stared at her like she was a giant panda, which really gave her goosebumps.
"Mr. Le Hou, you may not know this, but you are now the King's honored guest. The King has ordered that if you see Mr. Le Hou, you must be invited into the palace. The King is preparing a banquet to entertain you at any time.”
The soldier pointed at the portrait hanging on the wall.
Le Hou looked in the direction the soldier was pointing.
Good heavens, wasn't the person in the painting himself?
"Why am I on the wanted list?”
Le Hou muttered to herself. He remembered that the last time he went up to destroy Lord Pingyuan's place, he was already fine.
His little disciple had already said that neither the King of Zhao nor Lord Pingyuan had any intention of finding trouble with him. Why was his arrest warrant hanging at the city gate?
Le Hou had heard the soldier's words clearly, but in TV dramas, wasn't everything hung at the city gate a wanted poster?
"Mr. Le Hou, you misunderstood that this is not a wanted poster. The King is afraid that we don't know you by hanging your portrait.”
This was indeed the truth, but Le Hou felt that her heart was still trembling.
"Milord, you will know everything once you enter the palace and meet the King of Zhao. Please come with me.”
Le Hou looked at the pleading soldier with some difficulty.
He had already accepted the future First Emperor as his disciple. It didn't seem right for him to meet the King of Zhao like this.
But looking at the soldiers 'stance, even if he did not agree, these soldiers would tie him up and bring him to the palace.
"Fine, I'll go with you. I haven't been to the palace yet."
"Alright, please wait a moment. I'll bring the carriage over first. You, go to the entrance of the palace and inform the guards that we've found Mr. Lehou.”The soldier laughed happily. The King of Zhao had said that anyone who could bring Le Hou to the palace would be rewarded with 100 gold coins.
This 100 gold was enough for him to drink 10 times.
"Good heavens, there's a carriage?" Le Hou was speechless as she watched the soldiers disappear. What was going on?
When the soldiers went to find the carriage, Le Hou made a helpless gesture to the crowd behind him.
The frightened salamander, who was hidden in the crowd, made a helpless expression when it saw the music queen's actions. It had already seen the music queen's portrait when they had followed Lu Buwei into the city.
However, at that time, no one knew who this person was, so Startling Salamander did not pay much attention to him.
When Le Hou mentioned that they wanted to enter Handan City, the Startling Salamander did not remind him.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, but that he simply wanted to see Le Hou make a fool of herself.
Since Le Hou was going to be brought to the Zhao Palace, the Startling Salamander did not move with him. He walked straight into Handan City. When he passed by Le Hou, he deliberately revealed a very "bright" smile.
Seeing this smile, Le Hou immediately shivered.
There was no other reason than the fact that this Startling Salamander's current face was too ugly. It was a typical pockmarked face, and there was even a black mole the size of a soybean at the corner of his mouth.
If one looked at this long face for too long, they would definitely have nightmares.
After a while, Le Hou saw that the soldiers had really pulled a carriage over.
"I say, you have a carriage at the relay station at the city gate?”
Le Hou felt that Handan City was really strange. Who was this carriage prepared for? Give it to King Zhao? But wasn't the number of horses pulling the carriage a little too little?
The soldier's next answer made Le Hou not know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, this carriage was specially prepared by His Majesty for you. There is a similar carriage at each of the four gates of Handan City.”
Le Hou was speechless.
Le Hou had never been to other countries, so she didn't know what the streets of other countries were like. However, from what he could see now, the streets of Handan lacked vitality.
The hawkers along the street were scattered, and the surrounding shops were mostly ironware shops, followed by some places to buy jewelry.
There weren't many pedestrians on the street. Even if there were, they were rushing to other places to do business.
Le Hou knew that the reason why there were so few people and vendors on the road was because it was daytime.
At night, the streets of Handan became lively.
"Thud!"
Le Hou, who was deep in thought, was shocked by the sudden stop of the carriage.
"Mr. Le Hou, we have arrived at the palace." The soldier's voice came from outside the carriage.
Le Hou subconsciously tidied up the creases on his clothes. To be honest, he was still a little excited at the moment.
The King of Zhao could be said to be the first king he had met after transmigrating.
Le Hou took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and slowly got off the carriage.
"Mr. Le Hou, I'm Commandant Li Mu. I'm here on His Majesty's orders to bring you into the palace.”
Looking at the burly man who was still in his prime, Queen Le did not expect to see Li Mu, one of the four famous generals, so early.
Le Hou followed Li Mu into the palace.
This was how the palace was. Even in the smallest country, the king's palace would be built in a winding manner.
She didn't know what others thought, but Le Hou felt that if she didn't live here for a year, she definitely wouldn't be able to remember the way.
It was too boring during the journey, so Le Hou began to chat with Li Mu.
Before Li Mu joined the army, he had gone to Guigu 'zi's Valley to consult him. He had learned the more basic Qimen Dunjia and the art of war.
Therefore, the two of them could be considered to have something to talk about, so they wouldn't end up talking to each other.
"I can see that Commandant Li has high ears and high eyebrows. His future achievements will definitely be lower than General Lianpo. Why don't you directly become a disciple of Phantom Valley?”
Li Mu smiled bitterly and explained to Le Hou,""Sir, you flatter me. I once thought of joining the Haunted Valley, but Senior Guigu 'zi said that my talent is limited and I'm not suitable for the Haunted Valley Sect.”
After listening to Li Mu's words, he guessed that Guigu 'zi was probably talking about Li Mu's martial arts talent when he said that his talent was limited.
As he spoke, Li Mu brought Le Hou to King Zhao's study. Le Hou was already prepared for this.
After all, he had been detained like a criminal for several days, and he definitely did not just want to have a meal with her.

I originally planned to update the chapter at 7 today, but something happened at the last minute, so I only started updating at 5 pm. My typing is very slow, and I usually take one and a half to two hours to finish a chapter. I'll make up for today's mistakes tomorrow.
