Ji Beichen went out with the "elegant" folding fan in his hand. Zhao Baier, who was next door, heard the sound of the door opening and also left the room.
Zhao Baier was now dressed in the attire of a Confucian general and silver-gilded general's soft armor. The sleeves and waist were tied up to outline Zhao Baier's excellent figure, making him look even more elegant. Take a closer look at the two sleeves on the soft armor. The ancient jade animal patterns are outlined with golden threads, echoing the auspicious clouds and dark patterns hollowly carved on the silver scale armor. It is gorgeous and eye-catching!
Before going to Juhe Jianzhuang, Ji Beichen and Zhao Baier discussed together: If they go to the Kong County Magistrate's Mansion for a banquet, how will they deal with the Kong County Magistrate?
That's why the two of them changed their dressing styles from the past. Ji Beichen dressed up as a suave and elegant young master, while Zhao Baier dressed up as a cynical city defender. The purpose of dressing up like this was to make County Magistrate Kong relax his vigilance, so as to attract the person behind him to meet them.
Zhao Bai'er stared at Ji Beichen for a long time before reacting: "Ah Chen, you are dressed like this, I can't even recognize you!"
Ji Beichen smiled: "You can't tell it's natural. I've changed not only my dressing style, but also my appearance!"
Zhao Bai'er took a closer look and found that he had indeed painted it carefully. The eyebrows, eyes and lips are slightly sculpted. Although he is angry and sometimes smiles, he looks affectionate. He is dressed in a red dress and wears a crown on his head. He is charming and charming. He is naturally a handsome man!
Zhao Bai'er stared at Ji Beichen with fascination, especially Ji Beichen's watery "lovely lips", which made people want to eat them: "Ah Chen, you actually put rouge on your mouth! Is that gouache on your face? ..."
Zhao Bai'er looked at it and actually leaned over. When Ji Beichen saw Zhao Bai'er approaching, he quickly used the folding fan in his hand to block his "cheesy face".
Zhao Baier rubbed his sore handsome face and said with a wry smile: "Ah Chen, you can easily misunderstand others!"
"What's the misunderstanding?" Ji Beichen didn't understand what he meant. He just raised his hand to pull back the folding fan that was pressed against Zhao Baier's face, and took the folding fan in his hand to play with it.
"I misunderstood you and I as people with cut sleeves!" Zhao Bai'er saw Ji Beichen asking him, a treacherous smile appeared on his face.
"Broken sleeves? What does it mean!" Ji Beichen didn't understand the meaning of broken sleeves, but when he saw Zhao Baier's cunning smile, he knew it was not a good thing, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Don't... Ah Chen, 'Mr. Chen' is a wonderful man, how can he be so cold-faced!" Zhao Bai'er's expression suddenly changed when he saw Ji Beichen. Although he pretended to be a suave noble man, he was actually still That "little Ah Chen" who can't take a joke!
"The way you are now is nothing close to cynicism." Ji Beichen opened the folding fan in his hand and covered half of his face, revealing the face outside the fan. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was extremely beautiful.
Zhao Baier looked at Ji Beichen at this time, shook his head helplessly, and thought to himself: Little Achen, little Achen, even if you have lost your childhood memories, you are still the clever and weird "Young Master with a Thousand Faces"!
As soon as the two of them were about to go downstairs, Magistrate Kong came to invite someone.
"You two, please come here. The carriage has been prepared in front of the inn." Magistrate Kong was afraid of neglecting Zhao Bai'er, so he specially prepared the carriage.
Many of the guests dining in the hall on the first floor were powerful men and young ladies from aristocratic families. There were people from the capital, Cangzhou, and many from Youzhou. Cultivators from all over the world gathered together, all coming for the spirit sword. At this time, they saw Zhao Bai'er and Ji Beichen going downstairs one after another. They were all surprised and stared at the two people blankly.
"Who are these two? Look at the embroidery of the golden python. That pattern can only be worn by the royal family!" Someone recognized the pattern on Ji Beichen's red arrow sleeves. The golden python suit is only worn by the royal family. , this person must have an extraordinary background.
"One is in the foundation-building stage, and the other is in the object-repelling stage, huh, rubbish!" There were many golden elixir stage monks in the hall. Seeing two richly dressed nobles and generals coming downstairs, everyone cheered and felt a little unhappy.
"You should take good care of this brother. Both of them are authentic foundation-building monks. They are from orthodox immortal sects. They are comparable to those of you who are humane foundation-building wild men. Even if you are golden elixir monks, you really can't beat them! "Some Taoist priests from Xiliang naturally knew Zhao Bai'er. When they saw someone ridiculing their fellow disciples for their low cultivation level, they complained about it.
"Isn't this General Zhao? Whose young master is the person behind him?" The people from Cangzhou City knew Zhao Bai'er, but they didn't know Ji Beichen, not to mention that Ji Beichen had changed his appearance.
In the corner of the hall, there was a girl sitting alone. The girl was wearing a black gauze skirt and a bamboo hat on her head, and her face could not be seen clearly. Standing next to the girl were four or five personal female guards, all of whom were monks at the Golden Core stage and were daughters of some powerful family.
The girl in black gauze was pouring herself a small drink when she saw some commotion around her. She was a little puzzled. She looked up and saw two people in rich clothes coming downstairs. The girl in black gauze listened intently to the conversations of the people around her, but did not respond. She lowered her head and continued to drink.
Ji Beichen felt that the girl in black gauze gave him a familiar cleanness, which made him want to look at her all the time. Although he couldn't see his face clearly through the bamboo hat, he could still feel that the girl was also looking at him. Who is this person?
After the two of them left the inn, they boarded the carriage sent by County Magistrate Kong. Ji Beichen talked to Zhao Baier in detail about what he encountered at Juhe Jianzhuang in the carriage.
"So, this Magistrate Kong is really nothing. He actually wants to force others to death and seize their property!" Zhao Bai'er was very angry when he heard Ji Beichen's words. Moreover, I agreed to attend the banquet with County Magistrate Kong, but was actually resented by Master Li and his daughter for no reason. I felt that I really had a mouth now and couldn't explain it clearly!
"Ah Chen, what should I do with my image as a villain at tonight's banquet?" Zhao Bai'er was worried about the dinner for a while. Although he had been the city guard for some time, he had never had a drink or socialize before, and he had to pretend not to be able to do anything. A cynical look.
Ji Beichen was thinking about Master Li and his daughter. With the way he was dressed now, he probably wouldn't recognize himself as the little Taoist priest who went to the village to disturb them not long ago. But at this banquet, Zhuang Zhuang decided that Zhao Bai'er and Magistrate Kong were the same. When Zhao Ben'er comes, if Zhuang Zhu really would rather die than surrender, he will definitely have no good face towards Zhao Bai'er and himself!
Seeing Zhao Bai'er looking at him in embarrassment, Ji Beichen comforted him: "It doesn't matter, you still have me, don't you? I, the charming Mr. Chen, will definitely be able to help General Zhao settle everything!"
Zhao Baier thought in his heart, I am an unlearned general who is looked down upon by others. How can you, a dandy, be respected by others? Why are you trying to be a hero? On second thought, I wonder if people from the Chenghuan Sect will show up tonight. If Bai Shuxiang, who is at the fifth level of the golden elixir, takes action, he and Ji Beichen's combined cultivations won't be able to defeat him! Not to mention that Zhuangzhu Li and his daughter cannot be saved by then, neither of them may be able to escape unscathed.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and the carriage soon arrived in front of the residence of Magistrate Kong. The banquet was still held in the backyard, but no other shopkeepers or owners were seen today, and the beauties of the Chenghuan Sect did not appear at the banquet that night. Ji Beichen saw an unexpected person, the girl in black gauze whom he met in the inn lobby. She was also at the dinner. At this time, she had removed the bamboo hat on her face and showed a cold expression.
Magistrate Kong did not sit on the main seat today, but asked Zhao Baier to take the seat. Zhao Bai'er didn't shirk the blame, and sat on the upper seat naturally, with Ji Beichen and the black gauze girl on the left and right below. Magistrate Kong sat down next to Princess Ziying, and Zhuangzhu Li and his daughter sat down below Ji Beichen, but they had not yet taken their seats.
Ji Beichen sat opposite the girl in black gauze. Seeing that she kept her head lowered and silent, he asked directly without waiting for Magistrate Kong to introduce him: "Mu Chen, the capital of Cangzhou City, dare to give this girl a good name!"
Magistrate Kong, who was sitting in the first place, originally wanted to introduce the girl in black gauze to Zhao Bai'er, but Zhao Bai'er never paid attention to her. He only ate and drank on the side, as if she was an irrelevant person. Seeing that someone finally asked, he quickly took over the conversation: " Mr. Chen is really impatient, this girl is the daughter of the lord of Youzhou City, Princess Ziying."
Zhuangzhu Li and Li Qier were the last to arrive. As soon as they sat down, the banquet started. The regular banquet was not as lively as that night.
"Looking at the situation today, those beauties from the Chenghuan Sect will not come!" Zhao Bai'er took advantage of the time when he and Ji Beichen went to the toilet to chat.
Ji Beichen looked at Zhao Bai'er in elegant military uniform, rolled his eyes at him, and cursed in his heart: The character you agreed on will be exposed soon, let's see what you do!
At the banquet, County Magistrate Kong felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhao Baier and the two went to the backyard together. He heard that General Zhao was a talkative person, but he didn't hear much from him tonight, and Mu Chen he brought with him was even more so. It’s confusing!
That man claimed to be Mr. Chen, and Zhao Baier called him Mu Chen. Could he really be a member of the Mu family? Although Mu Chen's identity is doubtful, the clothes on Mr. Chen's body are not something that ordinary people can wear.
Magistrate Kong really couldn't figure out where the two of them were going. He turned his head and looked at Princess Ziying in the upper hand position, hoping that she would give him some response. However, he saw that Princess Ziying had been drinking and made no attempt to answer her. What he meant was a little confused in his heart: What happened to the princess today? She didn't help him and didn't say anything, but she kept staring at Mr. Chen. Could it be that she really had a crush on him?
Just when they were distressed, Zhao Bai'er and Ji Beichen came back. Magistrate Kong had no choice but to take action himself. He looked at Zhao Bai'er who was in charge and said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate General Zhao on being promoted to the expulsion stage. I heard that the general will come here without any worries." The town is here to get the spirit sword..."
"I..." Zhao Bai'er originally wanted to continue eating with his head covered, but he didn't want to be called upon just after he came back, so he was speechless for a moment.
"My general has never seen any rare treasures. A spiritual sword is nothing! I came here just to relieve my boredom. I have no intention of asking for anything." Ji Beichen saw Zhao Bai'er stuttering, fearing that Zhao Bai'er would reveal his secret, so he quickly took over the conversation.
"Bah, it's a period of expelling objects. I don't know if the elixir can bind. Why are you pretending?"
After sitting at the table, Li Kuisheng remained silent. When he saw Magistrate Kong suddenly lift the spirit sword, he knew that the person who was supposed to come was coming. At this time, he heard Mr. Chen coming from nowhere and uttering arrogant words, and he wanted to rub this person's butt. Spirited.
