Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
It has long been spread that Xiao Daocheng will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhao Qian's envoy.
Although there is no peace in the Beiliang court, the pure will become clear and the dirty will become dirty. Most officials who are not involved with Dayu are still looking forward to this grand banquet.
In particular, this banquet, in addition to receiving Zhao Qian's envoy, was also for the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands to formally launch diplomatic relations and become allies, so the significance was naturally extraordinary.
Only after this banquet, the alliance between Qin and Tang was officially determined and announced to the world.
Night falls, like a big curtain covering Luoyang.
Since Zhao Ding was attacked and killed, the chilling atmosphere that had enveloped the entire Luoyang City for the past ten days seemed to have diminished a lot when the banquet arrived.
The entire city of Luoyang is brightly lit and busy with traffic.
Although Zhao Ding had seen the prosperity in his previous life, but now he was sitting in the carriage looking at the prosperous scene of Luoyang outside the window, but he still couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.
Towering Luoyang, the world is prosperous.
It certainly lives up to its reputation.
In Luoyang City, on Zhuque Street, in addition to Zhao Ding's carriage, there were many other carriages, gathering together on Zhuque Street, heading towards the Beiliang Palace at the end of Zhuque Street like a stream.
Tonight's banquet was held in the palace. In addition to the civil and military ministers of the Northern Liang Dynasty, many celebrities from the Northern Liang Dynasty were also invited to participate.
Various carriages stopped outside the palace, surrounding the entire Huayang Gate.
"My lord, this thing is really good. With this thing, I will be able to protect myself when I go out in the future."
Amid the turbulence of the carriage, Yang Fu was playing with a pocket crossbow that was no bigger than a palm and tied to his arm like an old child.
The trigger of the crossbow is connected to an almost transparent silk thread, with one end connected to the trigger and the other end connected to the middle finger.
In this way, it can be stored in the sleeve, or can be released in time when encountering danger. It is a great weapon for protecting and killing people, especially for an old man like him who is really powerless!
Zhao Ding on the side rolled his eyes and said nothing, but just hugged the heater in his hand tightly.
Beiliang is closer to the north than Daqian, and the weather is really cold.
In the past few days, the Imperial City Division of the Beiliang Court was not idle, and neither was Zhao Ding.
Relying on the instructions given by Yang Fu and contacting the people of Daqian's Dishe organization in Beiliang, it was a pity that Daqian's Dishe organization could not get close to the smelting method at the core of Beiliang.
What you get are basically some superficial smelting methods.
This makes Zhao Ding quite a pity.
However, there is an unexpected gain.
Xiao Daocheng paid more attention to the attack on him than he expected.
In the past few days, several officials of the fourth rank and above in the city defense army and Beiliang Chaotang have been confiscated and exterminated without any trace, instead of being driven back to Dagan in perfect condition as before!
There is no place for others to sleep peacefully.
After a cleaning, it appeared again.
This time, Xiao Daocheng was really angry!
"My lord, look at why that carriage is so weird. It's different from what we do, and it's different from those in Beiliang."
Just as Zhao Ding was thinking, Lu Tao's voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Ding's ears.
Look in the direction of Lu Tao's finger.
Not far away from him, there was a carriage that was pitch black and depicted a black dragon with nine heads on the carriage. It was mixed in with the vast traffic and headed towards the Beiliang Palace at the end of Zhuque Street. go.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Ding frowned.
This was the first time he had seen a carriage with this kind of paint and style.
"That's Dayu's carriage. It seems that Dayu's people are not idle either."
Yang Fu on the side sighed softly and looked at the carriage with a worried look.
Dayu belongs to water and is black, with the nine-headed black dragon as its totem.
Zhao Ding had also read about this matter in classics, but he didn't think of it for a while.
Now listening to Yang Fu's words, the dust-laden memories appeared in his mind almost instantly.
Dayu finally got involved.
Beiliang, which had been Dayu's ally for nearly a century, suddenly turned to them. As the once uncrowned suzerain of Beiliang, Dayu couldn't help but end up personally.
Whether they come softly or hard, they will try to win back this ally.
But then I thought about it, it stands to reason that it was time for the Mobei aliens that Hu San sent people to train to come into play.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding was actually looking forward to it.
The carriage was still walking slowly towards the Beiliang Palace at the end of Zhuque Street.
The banquet was held in the Baohe Hall of the Beiliang Palace.
It is the place where the kings of Beiliang Dynasty gave banquets, and the building is extremely grand and magnificent.
The banquet is divided into two sides, and people sit together according to their status.
At the end of the banquet on both sides is the main seat where the king sits, as well as the positions of the concubines, princes and princesses in the harem.
As Zhao Ding arrived with the Daqian envoy and his entourage, they were naturally placed on the left side of the main seat.
According to the custom of Beiliang, the left is up and the right is down.
Arranged opposite Zhao Ding was Dayu's mission.
This is a bit interesting.
After all, if it is according to the past.
Regardless of whether Zhao Ding is the prince of Da Qian or not, when the banquet location is arranged for the Beiliang State Banquet, it will be arranged on the right side at most, and Da Yu must be on the left side.
But now he has been transferred.
It seems that Xiao Daocheng did this intentionally, as if he was using this to express his dissatisfaction with Dayu, and at the same time, it also highlighted the existence of Dayu today, and even meant to bring hatred for Dayu.
Thinking of this, after Zhao Ding sat down, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the middle-aged man headed by the Dayu envoy opposite, and found that the other person was looking at him with a somewhat unkind expression.
Zhao Ding didn't care about this. After sitting down, he leaned lazily behind the couch, then picked up the pre-dinner desserts placed on the low table in front of him and started eating.
At the same time, there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the face of the envoy from Dayu, who had a fairly elegant face, darkened even more, and he looked at Zhao Ding with an increasingly unkind look.
It seemed like he wanted to eat Zhao Ding alive.
But it was covered up very well.
When he saw Zhao Ding looking over, he still smiled and picked up the drink in front of him and bowed to Zhao Ding.
However, Zhao Ding didn't even look at him and continued to eat by himself.
The face on the other side turned dark again.
It seems that some people did not expect how the majestic prince could be so ignorant of etiquette, especially on such an important occasion.
Zhao Ding just wanted to say one thing about this.
If you can do it, then do it less. We are already hostile, so there is no need to pretend to be entrusted. It will be tiring! So tired!
