Luo Guan's eyes lit up and he expressed admiration.
Different from the previous meeting a few days ago, or today's occasion is more formal, Jiang Tong is wearing a dress, her grace and grace are even more delicate, and she shows the temperament of a royal lady in every gesture.
Everyone in the palace hurriedly stood up and saluted, "We will pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
His eyes were full of amazement.
Jiang Tong smiled and nodded, "No need to be polite, please get up." She glanced at everyone, smiled when she looked at Luo Guan, and took her seat.
"The day after tomorrow, we will be sending envoys to the Demon Clan Royal Court. We hope that you will give us your full help. Jiang Tong would like to thank you in advance."
She raised her glass and drank with everyone.
The first young monk on the left stood up, dressed elegantly in white clothes, "We are lucky enough to be able to join the Hidden Star Team to protect Her Royal Highness, the Princess. We will do our best to serve Her Highness!"
As soon as the voice fell, the young monk in black robes raised his right hand and said: "That's right! The eldest princess has a reputation far and wide. She is the flower of the royal family of our Jiang Kingdom. It is the honor of our generation to be able to walk with you!"
Others followed closely behind, and for a while, everyone in the hall was flattering and flattering, and before the banquet started, the smell of flattery was overwhelming.
Luo Guan had a strange look on his face, and then he looked at everyone in the hall. They were all carefully dressed and well-dressed, and trying their best to express themselves... How could this scene look like a large-scale blind date? While secretly feeling funny, he noticed a hint of reluctance in Jiang Tong's smile and couldn't help but laugh.
The next moment, the eldest princess suddenly looked up and saw that he was smiling but not smiling. She glared hard and rolled her eyes.
"Luo Guan!"
Jiang Tong suddenly spoke, and the hall fell silent, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Swish——
Everyone's eyes gathered together, and after a moment of astonishment, there was a gloomy look in their eyes.
Luo Guan twitched the corner of his mouth, "We are just an outsider, just watching the show. You are impatient to deal with it, why are you holding me back?"
He looked hesitant.
"What? If you don't want to come over, I'll just go over there." After saying that, Jiang Tong stood up directly.
hiss--
This woman is so poisonous!
Aren't you just kidding me? A little thing, right? !
With everyone's surprised eyes, Jiang Tong came to Luo Guan's seat and said with a smile: "Why, Luo Guan, don't you want to give me half of the seat?"
They looked at Jiang Tong with surprise, and when they looked at Luo Guan they looked like cannibals, but in his nature, how could he care about these people.
He moved a little to the side, stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness, please sit down."
Jiang Tong sat down and asked the maid to bring a cup, "Everyone, there is no need to take this palace into account. You are all talented people in the Jiang Kingdom. You should get closer to me."
Everyone respectfully said yes, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the eldest princess asked them to get close, so they had no choice but to move around and talk.
But Yu Guang never moved.
Jiang Tong sat down, and a gust of fragrant wind blew by. She first glanced at the short-haired Xu Ying, and moved her lips slightly, "Watching the excitement, but then you become the excitement, how does it feel?"
There was a hint of hatred and annoyance in his tone.
Luo Guan sighed, "Your Highness, I was wrong. Please go back."
The atmosphere in the hall was strange, and he also understood somewhat where the inexplicable hostility came from. These people shouldn't think that he had anything to do with Jiang Tong, right?
Hey, this is outrageous!
Jiang Tong sneered, "If you don't reply, I helped you in the first place, and now I want you to act as a shield, even if I charge some interest first."
"If you don't leave, I'll have to get drunk." Luo Guan picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Jiang Tong gritted his teeth, "...You're so cruel!"
Behind the two of them, Xu Ying's eyes widened, as if she had discovered a secret.
Looking at Luo Guan and then at the eldest princess, she felt a little dizzy.
At this moment, there was another movement outside the hall, "The Lord of the City is here!" After hearing the call, the hall fell silent, and everyone hurriedly stood up.
Zhao Shanming strode over, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Your Highness."
Jiang Tong smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. You hugged me when I was a child, so don't be polite."
Luo Guan's eyes flickered. This woman was deliberately showing her closeness to Zhao Shanming. Could it be that her situation in Jiang Country was not very good?
"Greetings to the Lord of the City!" Everyone in the hall saluted respectfully. The Lord of Zhenhai City, a super strong man in the Guiyuan Realm, an absolutely trusted minister of His Majesty the Emperor, and one of the great officials of the Jiang Kingdom.
No matter which identity they have, they respect and fear them enough.
"Well, all of you talents will escort the eldest princess to the Demon Clan Royal Court this time. You should do your best to protect Her Highness the Princess and promote the prestige of our Jiang Kingdom." Zhao Mingshan said with a smile and a friendly attitude.
"Yes, we will obey the city lord's instructions!"
Next, Zhao Mingshan talked with everyone, and encouraged everyone in the hall from time to time, making everyone in the hall blush and look extremely excited.
But Zhao Mingshan always turned a blind eye to Luo Guan, who was standing next to Jiang Tong, as if he didn't even see this person.
This statement made everyone in the hall secretly sneer, and from the corner of their eyes, they looked more indifferent.
Boy, you dare to insult the city lord in public, you are really tired of living!
"Okay, this city lord still has matters to deal with, please continue." Zhao Mingshan handed over to Jiang Tong and left amidst the respectful greetings of everyone.
Xu Ying didn't care about eating anymore, and looked worried, "Sir?"
Luo Guan shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
This old bastard deliberately caused embarrassment to him. He is not his opponent now, so he will tolerate it for now and settle the score with him later!
Jiang Tong gave Luo Guan a helpless look, stood up and returned to his seat. An hour later, the banquet ended.
After leaving the main hall, Luo Guandao: "Xu Ying, how much do you know about the Hidden Star Team and the eldest princess's mission to the Demon Clan Royal Court?"
He paused slightly, "I always feel that the atmosphere is not quite right."
Xu Ying hesitated and said: "Sir, when you seize the spot in the Hidden Star Team, don't you have the idea of marrying the eldest princess?"
"What?!" Luo Guan stared, "What does this have to do with Jiang Tong?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Xu Ying was stunned, "You really don't know, then why..." She took a deep breath, "Don't say, this is a coincidence?"
Luo Guan waved his hands in annoyance, "It's just a coincidence that I am riding a horse. I am accumulating merit points to exchange for something. I don't even know about the Hidden Star Team!" No wonder this group of people were like, in the hall just now, a A group of male peacocks in heat.
Xu Ying smiled bitterly, "I only found out about this by chance. Because the eldest princess repeatedly refused the Queen's marriage, His Majesty was furious and ordered her to go on a mission to the demon clan as punishment. At the same time, it was announced that Dang Haijun would form Hidden Star. The team will protect Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and the best one among them will be chosen to marry Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
"so……"
"That's why the spots in the Hidden Star Team are so popular, right?!" Luo Guan gritted his teeth and suddenly realized.
It was considered that he was harmed by a bitch like Jiang Tong. If it hadn't been for her, the Xie family and his son would not have killed him, and there would not have been such bad things!
No wonder the Hidden Star Team, including the retinue, were all men, so he was the only one to bring Xu Ying. This horse trip was not an envoy to the Demon Court, a proper blind date trip.
Seeing Luo Guan's face gloomy, Xu Ying hesitated and said: "Sir, the eldest princess and you... well, they will be hostile if they are slightly close. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, you are in a bad situation now and you want to turn around. The only possibility is to marry Her Highness the Princess."
"In addition, you have never revealed your background, which is why they dare to disrespect you... Well, as a necessary deterrent, maybe you can consider it."
Luo Guan sighed, "I also want to intimidate it, so as not to cause trouble, but... alas, it's a bit impossible to intimidate it!"
It is not difficult to ask the big boss to take action, but it is difficult to clean up the mess.
Last time, the empress took action, raised her sword to the sky and fought, cutting through the sky thirty thousand miles to cut off a fragment of the avenue, and saved Luo Guan's life.
Although the empress turned back to the Netherworld without saying anything, she must have paid a price for this.
This move cannot be made unless absolutely necessary.
Xu Ying pouted, not believing a word of Luo Guan's words.
Don’t have any background? Hum!
In this world, there may be people with extraordinary talents, but if they want to gallop on the road and be proud of their peers, they must have a strong background to support them.
Soon, the two returned to the side courtyard.
"Sir, I'm going back first. If you need anything, call me." Xu Ying bowed and left.
The retinue and the members of the Hidden Star Team do not live together. In the world of practitioners, there is also a strict distinction between superiority and inferiority. "Yes." Luo Guan returned to his residence and sorted it out first to find out what was going on.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
Swish——
Turning over his hand, something appeared in his palm.
A bunch of keys!
The whole body is pitch black and feels cold to the touch, with a layer of beautiful patina, which is exactly what Hu Xuying and others got from the silverback arowana when they were cut off.
Just now, it sent out an abnormal fluctuation, which was very weak.
But now, it has returned to calm, and no changes can be seen.
Luo Guan frowned and rubbed it gently with his fingers, secretly wondering if there was any secret hidden in this key?
…
Deep overseas.
A huge trench.
A large complex of buildings, overflowing with light and resembling a glass palace, is located here.
Luxurious, solemn and majestic!
Here is the Dragon Palace.
A long time ago, it was built by the True Dragon Clan. Although the True Dragons were extinct and only some thin bloodlines were spread, this place still ruled the vast and endless sea area.
It is the holy land of the demon clan on par with the Land Demon King’s Court!
At this moment, there is a hall deep in the Dragon Palace.
On the coral chair, an old man with white beard and hair sits upright. He is wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and has two curved horns on his head. Although not big, he is full of majesty. This is the identity revealed by his noble dragon bloodline. symbol.
At this moment, he was holding a black key in his hand and suddenly opened his eyes.
"I have found the whereabouts of another key to the Holy Tomb. Go to Zhenhai City in person and be sure to bring it back. It must not fall into the hands of the human race."
After a brief pause, the old Dragon King continued: "In addition, regarding the Royal Court's protest and the Dragon Palace's cooperation with the human race, please investigate carefully... Humph! Now is not the time to deal with those reptiles."
Your Highness, stood a slim figure, kneeling and saluting, "Yes, Father!" The aura illuminated her figure, and she was clearly a dragon girl.
Stand up, take a few steps back, then turn around and leave.
Looking at the back of the Dragon Girl, a trace of envy flashed in the old Dragon King's eyes, and then he looked deep into the palace with a burning look on his face.
There are actually rumors outside the Dragon Palace that such pure pseudo-dragon bloodline is unbelievable unless you see it with your own eyes. Coupled with the rumors about dragon power coming from the Demon Court... could this be a sign that the true dragon lineage will dominate the world?
The old Dragon King goes deep into the palace to seize the blood of this pseudo-dragon. He may be able to break through the limit and live for another ten thousand years!
But it's too weak, so we can't rush this, we have to take our time.
Soon, there was an angry roar, faintly heard.
"Damn old bastard! How dare you arrest the Fourteenth Master in your own family? The master will never let you go!"
"Damn it, let me bleed! You horse rider, please shut up!"
…
late at night.
Zhenhai City, City Lord’s Mansion!
In a room, six young monks gathered here.
Under the candlelight, their faces were as sinking as water.
Suddenly, one of them said: "Everyone, you and I have seen the attitude of the eldest princess. If we don't think of a way, no one can take the position of consort."
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly heavy!
Yesterday, there was a conflict in Zhenhai City, and several admirals appeared. The momentum was earth-shattering, and they naturally knew about it.
I also witnessed with my own eyes Jiang Tong's defense of Luo Guan... Of course, in addition to this, today's hostility and indifference towards Luo Guan was also a statement.
To the Xie family, and also to the city lord's mansion.
Originally, in their view, Luo Guan was destined to die and was not a threat at all. But today's banquet scene made everyone unable to sit still...
What Xu Ying could think of, they could naturally think of, Luo Guan was in a desperate situation, and if he wanted to save himself, marrying the eldest princess was the only option!
The eldest princess also treated him very differently.
Bang——
Someone punched the table, "Everyone, since you and I are gathered together tonight, let's stop talking about mother-in-law and let's work together to destroy Luo Guan!"
"The Lord of the City has expressed his attitude through today's dinner. As long as you and I do it neatly, there will be no hidden dangers in this matter!"
"Done!"
For a moment, murderous intent arose.
