Jicheng, Yan Palace.
The lights are brightly lit and people are drinking wine.
It is hard to imagine that such a scene, warm and bright, can exist in the bitter cold land of northern Saibei.
The State of Yan is cold all year round, but this coldness does not include Jicheng.
Tonight, King Yan Xi held a grand banquet in the palace to celebrate the defeat of Yunlong's conspiracy, and everyone who saw it was invited to participate.
But these visitors, who all smile brightly on the outside, are not all happy on the inside.
For example, the servants from various prefectures and counties who were let into the city by Gao Jianli not long ago, the officials who once strongly supported Yunlong in the court, and the shadows who had been transformed by the iron armor technique.
Yunlong's death will cause the Shura soldiers to lose his control, but at the same time, the risk of going crazy will also become very high, so the handling of the Shura soldiers must be done with caution.
"Just after the crisis of annihilation, instead of liquidating the people first, a feast was held. If anyone wants to say that King Yan is stupid in the future, I will be the first to speak out against it."
While they were drinking, Xiaotian took a bite of the hot chicken leg and made a greasy comment.
"Huh? You said the opposite, right?"
The blond Jueyang on the side suspected that he heard wrongly. At the same time, he unknowingly took away a few exquisite porcelain plates and put them into the storage talisman. He thought that these porcelain plates for princes and nobles must be worthless. Fei, a wave of selling at that time can be regarded as making up for the shortfall of this death battle in Longhu Town.
Jueyang felt heartbroken when he thought of the money he had thrown away as a hidden weapon.
"He didn't say anything contrary. After this banquet, you can basically see who is sincere and who is guilty. It's much easier than giving in to a trick."
Liu Yun glanced at the few empty seats at the surrounding tables that had never been occupied. The name tags on them were the names of some dignitaries. I am afraid that the Gotei Guards should also appear in their homes at this time.
Liu Yun was much more familiar with this scene than everyone here. The emperor was scheming, and the one from Qin was no less generous.
The tall and lanky boy took a sip of the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall soup base, looking a little lonely.
"If you are too lazy to take care of these things, you can't do them. It's better to comment less."
While Shao Zhong stuffed various kinds of beef and mutton into his mouth, he told his brothers from the same clan to talk less and eat more. It was true that he consumed a lot in this battle, but he thought he was different from the foodie Xiaotian. Eating and drinking is purely to replenish lost physical strength and to better practice martial arts.
An obvious difference between martial arts practitioners and legal practitioners is that martial practitioners often need to eat a lot to replenish their physical strength after consuming their energy, while legal practitioners generally rely on meditation.
This time King Yan held a banquet for the ministers, and the first honors were naturally Mingjian Villa and Taoyuan, so King Yan arranged for them to be together, and there were also palace maids and eunuchs to serve them. During the banquet, King Yan and the princess even came out to toast several times. It can be said that they dominated the limelight. In addition to the four members of the boxing sect who were active just now, there were also Richu, Zhuang Chen and Gao Jianli who had remained silent.
Originally there was Shui Han, but after eating and drinking like Mr. Zhong and Xiaotian for a while, Shui Han was invited away by King Yan, as if he had something important to discuss.
No one at the table cared about this. Richu's silence was because Shui Han was not here. The goddess had always been aloof. In addition, her arrival this time was a bit sudden. If someone asked her about it, she had not thought of any good reason. Prevaricate it,
The people in the Boxing Sect obviously don't care why Richu appears here. In their eyes, since the goddess is a god, her actions are naturally different from those of mortals.
The main reason is fear. Although this goddess looks cute and has never shown any strength, she always gives people a cunning feeling that is not easy to get close to. It is the kind of feeling that if you make me unhappy, I will erase you, which is quite scary.
Only Shui Han Na Ri Chu was a mortal.
Richu is quite happy with the current situation, and the reasons she carefully prepared are of no use. The people of the boxing sect have little contact with the goddess, so naturally they don't understand her character. As the goddess of the sun, Richu knows very well that she should How to maintain a sense of alienation from humans and maintain the style of God.
I just don’t know what the old man in the world did to call Shui Han away.
Zhuang Chen and Gao Jianli are at odds with each other.
Zhuang Chen secretly looked at this young man with an ordinary face and sharp eyes. No matter how he looked at him, he couldn't tell what kind of cultivation prodigy he was. His eldest brother had not had any apprentices for twenty years, but he just accepted an unknown one so simply. Boy, the key point is to give away such an important ten-direction wandering dragon. It is really incomprehensible.
Gao Jianli was also unhappy. He didn't quite understand why the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him kept looking at him in a strange way. It was obvious that he had suffered a disadvantage because he had to call him uncle according to his seniority. He was secretly dissatisfied. After practicing martial arts, It is true that people are simple-minded and difficult to understand.
Most of the remaining tables were occupied by high-ranking officials in the palace, nobles and court guards. After the old King Yan left with Shui Han, Princess Yan Qing and the third prince Yan Fu were responsible for the coordination of the banquet, and from time to time they would greet everyone at their table. He raised his glass and made a toast, praising the young hero and the most important weapon of the country.
Everyone has different attitudes towards drinking.
As senior Jiu Mengzi, Mr. Zhong and Zhuang Chen did not refuse anyone who came, and even took the initiative to ask for a drink. After all, the bamboo leaves and blue flowers produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Yan Palace were absolutely impossible for Jiu Mengzi to refuse;
Xiaotian, Jueyang and Gao Jianli belong to the rational group. They drink but never drink too much and keep a clear mind. Although wine is good, don't be greedy;
Liuyun doesn't know why he refuses to drink alcohol on the grounds of being ill. Drinking is the beginning of all evil;
At the beginning of the day, it was even more jaw-dropping. She directly picked up the wine jar and drank. She never responded to others' toasts and just drank by herself. Moreover, she drank so fast that she drank up both jars of wine in a short time. At this time, Mr. Zhong and Zhuang Chen had just drank a pot each.
"A human drink is really wonderful."
Later, not long after, the bamboo leaves and blue flowers of Yan State had a new nickname: Zui Shen Ning.
I was not drunk at the beginning of the day, but I was drunk with bamboo leaves and blue flowers.
…
Yanwang Palace, Jieyi Hall.
Looking at the winding path in front of him, Shui Han couldn't believe that this was actually the Jieyi Hall he had just visited a few days ago.
"I didn't expect that there is such a big space under this hall."
Shui Han tried his best to make his words appropriate and consistent with his identity, but when he actually walked through the underground passage and saw this huge underground secret room, he couldn't help but sigh.
This is a huge secret room. Its structure is no different from any other secret room, but it is much larger.
There are long open fires hanging on the walls around the secret room, and a long stone table is placed in the middle. It looks simple, majestic, inviolable, and exudes an ancient atmosphere.
King Yan's vicissitudes of voice sounded beside Shui Han:
"Everyone come out."
