Chapter 12
Once he finished his lunch, Su Ming walked out of Xu Manor and headed towards the North Garrison Commissioner alone.
Su Ming was surprised as he looked at the endless stream of people on the street.
Just as Chen Yubian had said, the people of Jianghu had gathered in the capital these few days, and it seemed like a storm was coming.
Could this be the reason why the Emperor came to the archives yesterday? Was it because someone in the martial arts world coveted his throne?
That would be interesting.
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up as he thought to himself.
The thought of a group of Jianghu people carrying sabers and clubs surrounding the Imperial Palace and shouting and killing resounded throughout the entire capital.
Su Ming felt that it could be considered a real movie.
Chen Yubian caught up to them not far away from the Xu Manor.
"Cousin, isn't it too unkind of you to do this?”
Chen Yu said with a bitter smile.
The verbal and written criticism only came to an end when he promised to meet the girl that Chen Beihe and Huang Wan liked next month.
As for the culprit, he was currently strolling on the streets.
"Cousin is doing this for your own good."
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up slightly as he said that with an evil smile.
"Sigh."
Chen Yu sighed and continued,"I can't come back often for meals during this period of time. I've been told to enter the palace as the guard of the First Prince, Zhao Zhuan.”
"Cousin, if you have nothing to do, come over often to eat. My mother always said that you used to like to eat her cooking. After entering the North Town Administrative Office, you rarely come over to eat.”
With my current cultivation, I don't need to eat to maintain my body's functions.
"Alright." Su Ming nodded.
Chen Yu glanced at him and said with a smile,""Cousin, have you really seen the Third Princess?”
After all, Su Ming was stationed in the archives all year round. He should not have had the chance to meet the third princess.
Chen Yubian was surprised. As a small flag officer of the North Town Governor, he was on field duty in the capital and managed more than ten subordinates. For so many years, he had only seen the Third Princess from afar when the emperor prayed for good weather every year.
But now, Su Ming was saying that the person in his heart was the third princess, and he could not help but feel shocked.
"Yes, I have." Su Ming smiled.
"Where?"
"The Northern Garrison Governor!"
Chen Yu widened his eyes and cried out involuntarily," That's impossible. When?"
"Today."
Su Ming cast him a glance and continued,"Actually, when I walked out of the Sutra Depository, she was following behind me. It's just that you didn't see her.”
"You should have told me.”
Chen Yubian was flustered and exasperated." The rumors in the capital say that the Third Princess is a peerless beauty with a graceful figure. If I had known earlier that she was in the Sutra Depository, I would have had the chance to brag to others in the future."
"When you become the first prince's personal guard, won't you have a great chance of meeting the third princess?" Su Ming asked.”
Chen Yu's voice froze. He felt that Su Ming was right.
When he entered the Imperial Palace to report on his work, the Eldest Prince and the Third Princess were both the Empress's biological children. There would be plenty of opportunities to meet them in the future.
The two of them separated at the entrance of the North Town Administrative Office.
Su Ming met Sun Yin, who had rushed back to the archive.
At this moment, he had an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist. He stood straight and faced the plaque in the document warehouse, seeming a little disappointed.
"Su Ming, look. Isn't he handsome?"
When Sun Yin saw Su Ming return, the presence that he had gathered with great difficulty was instantly destroyed and he said with a smile.
"Yes, very handsome."
Su Ming nodded.
Clang!
Sun Yin pulled out the embroidered spring knife at his waist and said proudly,""How is it? This Embroidered Spring Saber is not bad, right?”
The Embroidered Spring Knife was the imperial knife of the North Town Fu Department, and the Brocade Guard had the responsibility of supervising all officials. The craftsmen did not dare to cut corners.
Therefore, every Embroidered Spring Saber was the accumulation of the craftsman's hard work and sweat.
Su Ming looked at the Embroidered Spring Blade that was as bright as a mirror and caught it. He brushed his index and middle fingers against the blade, and it let out a soft clanging sound.
Su Ming threw the blade back and smiled."Treat it well, and it will treat you well.”
Just now, he had stored the power of his attack in the blade.
Once Sun Yin was in a life-and-death situation, the power of that strike would be activated when he brandished his saber.
It was also the reward for Sun Yin's hard work in cleaning the case library for the past ten years.
"Of course, I have to hug it when I sleep in the future!”
Sun Yin sheathed the Embroidered Spring Saber like a treasure and said,""Then I'll be leaving. I have to familiarize myself with my future duties.”
"Okay, go ahead." Su Ming smiled.
Once Sun Yin left, Su Ming appeared in the Scripture Depository again with a flash. He picked up the book he had not finished reading in the morning and continued reading.
After lunch in the afternoon, Zhao Ziyi couldn't help but think of the figure with the morning sun shining on his shoulders.
When she thought about how Su Ming might be in the Scripture Depository in the afternoon, Zhao Ziyi dressed herself up. Once she was certain that she could not find any flaws, she brought her personal attendant, Eunuch Ji, to the Scripture Depository.
Even though she knew that the two of them would never be together in the future given their status, Zhao Zi Yi had discovered that talking to Su Ming made her feel happy and calm.
According to his future development trajectory, Zhao Ziyi was clear that he would definitely marry the son of a state's lord.
Thinking of this, she felt a lot more melancholic.
Even if he was born into an imperial family, he still could not control the trajectory of his life.
Just thinking like this, Zhao Ziyi already arrived at the Scripture Depository.
When she arrived at the third floor, she saw the man whom she had been longing for again.
The worries in his heart also disappeared when he saw the other party.
"Greetings, Third Princess."
Su Ming said without even lifting his head as he held Cheng Yang's Strange Records in his hand.
Aren't you taking me too lightly?
He didn't even greet the princess.
Zhao Ziyi looked at him in a daze. It was the first time she had seen such an arrogant Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he was even a civilian.
"Su Ming, is the archive so empty?”
Zhao Ziyi adjusted his emotions.
"It's alright."
Su Ming asked.
Am I not beautiful enough?
I know a thing or two about the rumors outside. They say that I'm the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Why isn't this guy even looking at me?
Zhao Ziyi was a little angry, he casually picked up a secret manual and walked to the desk at the side to start reading.
This silence did not last long before it was broken by the noise outside.
Su Ming did not move, and Zhao Ziyi's pretty face was filled with indignation. She stood up and walked to the window.
When he saw the eunuchs and imperial guards outside, Zhao Ziyi's expression couldn't help being startled.
"Su Ming, do you know why they came to the Northern Garrison Command?”
Zhao Ziyi frowned slightly, having a bad premonition in his heart.
"I don't know."
Su Ming said flatly.
It seemed that after the Emperor returned to the palace, he had decided to help Xuanwu enter the Half-Saint Realm.
Su Ming did not even lift his head, but he had already checked everything that was happening outside with his divine sense.
A group of people from the palace sent the treasures and elixirs they had harvested from various places over the years to the residence of the Black Tortoise commander. Their purpose was self-evident.
Help the Black Tortoise reach the Half-Saint Realm!
"What great merit did this Black Tortoise commander make for Imperial Father to bestow so many things?”
Zhao Ziyi was a little surprised to see the eunuchs holding trays with brocade boxes or jade bottles on them walking into the residence of the Xuanwu commander.
Zhao Ziyi thought about it and felt that things weren't simple. She turned around and walked out. She wanted to ask her mother if she knew anything.
