"Are the dishes all served?"
"Why don't you use your chopsticks?"
"Are you not giving Zhou some face?"
"Still you think these dishes are not to your liking?"
Zhou Zhenwen smiled lightly, picked up a locust with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and started chewing it, with a calm and calm expression.
But everyone who saw this scene turned pale and did not dare to speak.
Everyone exchanged glances, but they still couldn't overcome their psychological barriers.
"Master Gongsun, do you really want to eat this?"
The head of the Liu family looked at the locusts in front of him, his face turned pale, and he asked in a low voice.
Gongsun Wuji snorted coldly: "Huh, don't want to eat?"
"Everyone else eats it, but you don't. Do you think you can get out of this Qingyun Tower?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many heads of aristocratic families around them became subtle.
In fact, they had planned the Hongmen Banquet from the very beginning.
However, Zhou Zhenwen's attitude didn't seem to want to do anything to them?
But now Gongsun Wuji's words have made the heads of these aristocratic families a little confused.
To give you face, call you Qingzhou Seniors, but if you don’t give me face, you will be buried in minutes! !
With Zhou Zhenwen's strength, he could really do such a thing! !
"What are you waiting for?"
"Eat?"
Gongsun Wuji felt calm, picked up the locusts, put them in his mouth and started chewing them.
Seeing that the head of the Gongsun family was so direct, other heads of the aristocratic families also frowned, put the locusts into their mouths and ate them.
"Um?"
One bite, crunchy and crunchy.
“Tastes pretty good!!”
All the family heads looked at each other and thought that maybe this Locust business plan really had something going on?
Can make a fortune! !
“Go ahead and serve!!”
"Just now, the owners of the house ate salt and pepper locusts, and next they will have fried locusts, charcoal grilled locusts, boiled spicy locusts..."
Zhou Zhenwen ordered the kitchen to continue serving food.
The chef in the kitchen was sweating profusely. From the very beginning, the salt and pepper locusts had been challenging his nerves.
But fortunately, practice makes perfect, and once he got used to it, he wasn't so awkward anymore.
Even from the smell, he thought maybe the locusts were delicious.
But he didn’t dare to eat it! !
I didn’t even dare to try the taste! !
Soon, a dazzling array of locust delicacies were delivered to the dining table. The delicacies originally placed on the dinner plate were replaced one by one. The banquet organized by Zhou Zhenwen turned into a locust feast.
After all the heads of the aristocratic families got rid of their psychological barriers, they all began to feast, as if they had completely forgotten the harm of locusts.
But is it really forgotten?
Then only they themselves know...
...
The capital, the palace, the imperial study.
"I, Cao Rui, Minister of Dali Temple, have met Your Majesty." Su Jiu bowed and saluted with an extremely respectful and humble attitude.
Empress Liang Zhao put down the memorial and nodded slightly: "Cao Aiqing, how many years have you been an official?"
Um?
Su Jiu's expression remained unchanged, but there was a trace of doubt in her heart. What did the little emperor mean by asking this now?
"I must have been an official for thirty-seven years, right?" Su Jiu pretended to recall and said uncertainly.
Empress Liang Zhao casually picked up a booklet and said, "To be precise, it should be thirty-nine years ago. When you were twenty-six years old, you won the imperial examination, the top three Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy, and gradually became a Dali scholar. Temple Minister."
"It's been too long, and I can't even remember it," Su Jiu said with a wry smile, "I hope Your Majesty won't blame me."
"It's indeed a long time ago. It's normal for Aiqing not to remember. However, Aiqing has been in Beijing for many years, but has she ever returned to her hometown?" Empress Liang Zhao asked calmly.
The uneasiness in Su Jiu's heart became more and more intense, but her face remained calm and she replied: "I went back five years ago, and everything has changed. Even the jujube tree in my hometown has withered... ..”
Su Jiu said with a sigh, her eyes full of reminiscence, as if she was really remembering the past years.
Empress Liang Zhao looked at the "Qing of Dali Temple". If he hadn't known the other party's true identity from the simulator, there would have been no flaws in his performance just now.
He is the image of an old minister in his twilight years.
A martial arts master and a martial arts prodigy could quietly replace the Minister of Dali Temple in Dahuang. This is far more terrifying than the Queen Mother Su Chang.
Especially since this person is also proficient in the art of disguise! !
Empress Liang Zhao felt a chill in her heart, but there was no abnormality in her expression. She said, "The main reason I asked Aiqing to come this time is to ask about Zhang Qi in Qingzhou..."
Seeing that Empress Liang Zhao finally asked the question, Su Jiu's panic calmed down a bit.
yes!
The other party was just a young kid who had just come of age and had taken charge of the government. Even Su Chang didn't notice anything unusual about him, let alone such a little emperor who was confused about his status?
I am still too worried! !
Just as Su Jiu relaxed, she felt an unusual aura.
For a moment.
Su Jiu's expression changed. He suddenly turned back and looked at the door not far away.
I saw that the door that was open just now was now closed.
Without him noticing, the door closed...
He is a martial arts master. He comes from a martial arts family in the Nine Nether Kingdom. There are only a handful of people in the entire wilderness who can do this.
"Marquis Yongwu... Liang Yong?"
Su Jiu's face darkened, her whole body's energy surged on her skin, she concentrated on observing the changes in the air flow around her, and said coldly.
"I thought you could hide it for a while, but I didn't expect you to react so strongly?" Empress Liang looked at Su Jiu, who was directly exposed, and said jokingly.
"Hmph!" Su Jiu snorted coldly, "How did you discover my identity?"
"Su Chang told you?"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Empress Liang Zhao stood up and shouted with a cold expression: "You will know when you see her!!"
"Marquis Yongwu, take action!!"
Following the order from Empress Liang Zhao, a figure suddenly sprang out, full of zhenqi, and a domineering, fierce, and unparalleled tyrannical mood spread.
"Fist conquers the world!!"
Punch out! !
Mountains and seas emerge! !
There are so many mountains, so domineering! !
Countless mountain and sea artistic conceptions emerged together, and the environment of the entire imperial study suddenly changed. Everything around turned into mountains and seas. The mountains stood tall and the sea was boundless and majestic.
Su Jiu's face changed slightly. He felt the fist intention in this boxing technique, and also knew that the surrounding images were just illusions when the fist intention was profound.
Su Jiu immediately retreated, his right hand turned into a claw, and the sharp and cold Qi emerged. He used his backhand claw, and five extremely vicious blood marks were swung away towards his fist.
"Devil's claw seduces the soul!!"
There are bursts of demonic sounds, ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Demons and ghosts suddenly appeared under Su Jiu's claws and filled the entire imperial study room.
The artistic conception of mountains and seas was torn apart, revealing the figure of Empress Liang Zhao...
"Got you!!"
Su Jiu knew that he would never be able to defeat Liang Yong in a simple confrontation. Only by catching Emperor Xuan and threatening his life could he have a chance of survival.
