There was a grand banquet in Linde Hall, drums and music were playing, and the whole court was in high spirits.
Amber wine, jasper glasses, gold-footed bottles, and emerald plates, the food is picturesque, the wine is like a spring, the guqin is dripping, and the bells are tinkling, all showing the royal style.
At the beginning of the palace feast, some exquisite pastries, fruits, and fragrant fruit wine were served for the guests in the hall to talk, laugh, and enjoy singing and dancing. The second round was the main banquet.
After the banquet started, Tuoba Feixiong picked up a glass of wine and led the Great Yan ministers to toast Huangfu Sheng and others to express their welcome, and then started a casual conversation with Huangfu Sheng.
Tuoba Feixiong was worthy of being a great hero of his generation. Although he had the courage to dominate the world, he restrained his momentum at this moment and was smiling like a kind elder while exchanging cups with Huangfu Sheng.
Because Tuoba Ningyue was the third daughter of the emperor, she was seated very close to Tuoba Feixiong. Han Feng followed her and could hear their conversation clearly.
At this moment, Tuoba Feixiong raised his glass and said to Huangfu Sheng with a smile: "Master Huangfu, I wonder if His Majesty the Yuan Emperor is well in today's Yuan Dynasty?"
Huangfu Sheng smiled and raised his glass, "Your Majesty is in good health and in the prime of life. When I left the court, Your Majesty also specifically asked me to say hello to His Majesty Yan Emperor.
Many of the elixirs and supplements brought along with me on this trip are treasures that our emperor personally selected from the treasury. "
Hearing this, Tuoba Feixiong couldn't help but show gratitude.
"I am really touched by Emperor Yuan's great kindness. I have troubled you, Imperial Master, to travel all the way. Today's banquet must be a joyful one.
In addition, the Imperial Master must also stay in the imperial capital for a longer period of time, so that I can show my loyalty as a landlord and personally take the Imperial Master to see the exotic customs of Dayan. "
Huangfu Sheng nodded slightly, "Thanks to your Majesty's kindness, I have stepped into the territory of the Great Yan Empire and have already experienced the mountains, rivers, sun and moon of the Great Yan Empire, and its boundless territory.
However, compared to the majesty of the mountains and rivers, the soldiers and civilians of the Great Yan Empire were united and came to court, which shocked me even more.
Nowadays, Great Yan is prospering and getting stronger day by day. It is necessary for him to take a further step forward. "
Huangfu Sheng's seemingly polite words of praise made Tuoba Feixiong, as well as several nearby Great Yan ministers and members of the royal family change their expressions.
Today's Great Yan Empire is already the leader of the four great powers. If it goes one step further, wouldn't it mean that it will compete with the Tianyuan Dynasty for the throne of "Continental Supreme"?
Huangfu Sheng's words were heart-breaking and even more provocative.
In response, Tuoba Feixiong just flashed his eyes, but his expression didn't even change, and he laughed.
"Haha... The Imperial Master is ridiculous. Our Great Yan Empire is located in a barren land in the far west, with limited resources and dwindling products. It is extremely difficult to maintain the current situation.
If you want to continue to survive on the mainland, you have to rely more on the help of the Tianyuan Dynasty. "
"Haha...Your Majesty Yandi, you are too humble."
Huangfu Sheng also smiled, and he and Tuoba Feixiong raised their glasses and drank at the same time, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing all this in his eyes, Han Feng couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, "This National Master of the Tianyuan Dynasty seems to be young, but his actions are a bit old-fashioned."
Tuoba Ningyue was right in front of Han Feng. When she heard Han Feng's voice, she couldn't help but whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, this man is not young. He served as the national counselor of the Tianyuan Dynasty and has been in his sixties or seventies now." years."
"Sixty or seventy years!"
Han Feng couldn't help but be surprised. Fortunately, he now also understood some knowledge about the spiritual warrior Shou Yuan, so he was not too shocked.
Han Feng then whispered: "Your Royal Highness, the people brought by Huangfu Sheng don't look simple. Do you know them all?"
As a royal princess, Tuoba Ningyue naturally knew more information than Han Feng.
She frowned slightly, but introduced him in a low voice: "The three people who were attacked by Huangfu Sheng were the three generals of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and it was they who escorted Huangfu Sheng and others to the court this time.
As for the twenty or thirty men, women, and children, they are "national scholars" recruited by the Tianyuan Dynasty. Among them are literati, national masters, weapon refiners, formation masters, talisman masters, alchemists, spiritual masters...all kinds of talents. . "
As he said that, Tuoba Ningyue looked at the "ten old men" sitting at the same level as the three generals, but there was doubt in his eyes.
"These ten people are in a tight situation. The scouts sent by the empire to inquire about the news have not yet found out their identities. However, it is said that the three generals of the Great Yan Empire respected them very much along the way. They should be of high status. .”
Han Feng listened to all this, nodded secretly, and didn't take it too seriously.
I thought that today's banquet would go smoothly, but just a moment later.
During the dinner, Huangfu Sheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty Emperor Yan, our Lingwu Continent respects martial arts, and I heard that the Great Yan Empire is a country that values martial arts.
It’s rare that the house is full of guests and friends today. Why not use martial arts to make friends and have a little discussion to deepen exchanges between our two countries? "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Great Yan Empire in the hall had strange expressions on their faces. Tuoba Feixiong on the throne could not help but narrow his eyes, and then he laughed loudly.
"It's rare for a national master to be so elegant. However, the venue in the main hall is small and difficult to compete. How about waiting for the banquet to be over, and we choose a venue on a different day, and then compete with friends?"
When Huangfu Sheng heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
As he spoke, Huangfu Sheng flicked his sleeves with green light, and with this blue light lasing, it flew directly out of the hall and turned into a flat "square seal" the size of a palm.
The square seal was suspended in the sky above the square outside Linde Hall, about seven to eight feet high. It circled in the void and rose in the wind, growing rapidly.
In the end, Fang Yin turned into a broad arena with a length and width of a hundred feet. The arena was covered in green light, like a huge upside-down celadon bowl. The surface was covered with green light and runes were flowing, making it look magical.
There were people with extraordinary eyesight present who could tell at a glance that this was an extraordinary spiritual weapon, and they couldn't help but express surprise.
Huangfu Sheng smiled and said to Tuoba Feixiong: "Your Majesty, with this treasure as a platform, everyone here can enjoy the competition process without harming every plant and tree in the palace. What do you think, Your Majesty?" "
Seeing that Huangfu Sheng had clearly come prepared, Tuoba Feixiong's tiger eyes moved slightly, but his expression remained unchanged and he said: "The Imperial Master is still thinking carefully. In this case, let's have a few games and chat for fun. That's it. I don’t know how the National Master wants to compare.”
Seeing that Tuoba Feixiong agreed to compete, Huangfu Sheng's face was as warm as a spring breeze, and he immediately responded: "This is quite simple. We might as well send three people from each side to fight. The two sides will stop at the point and decide the winner or loser."
Having said this, Huangfu Sheng paused slightly and added: "It's rare that it's so lively today. If it's just a martial arts competition, it will inevitably be a bit monotonous. It's always interesting to have some luck."
As he spoke, Huangfu Sheng waved his sleeve again, and a red light flew out from the sleeve, floating in the air of the hall. It was a Ganoderma lucidum that was half a foot tall, shaped like a cattail leaf fan, and covered in red gold.
The red light on the surface of Ganoderma lucidum is like substance, and it is constantly squirming, sometimes condensing into a "running horse", sometimes condensing into the shadows of various creatures such as rabbits, eagles, ligers, etc., which is extremely magical.
And as soon as the Ganoderma appeared, the entire hall was enveloped in a strange fragrance. Everyone felt that their spiritual power was fluctuating uncontrollably, as if they were being pulled by this Ganoderma.
When Tuoba Ningyue saw this Ganoderma lucidum, her eyes could not help but light up, and her eyes were filled with light.
"Xuanhuo Lingzhi is about to condense into a spiritual body. I am afraid it must be at least nine hundred years old."
Hearing the sound, Huangfu Sheng couldn't help but look at Tuoba Ningyue with admiration on his face.
"This should be Her Royal Highness the Third Princess. The princess really has good eyesight. To be precise, this Xuanhuo Ganoderma has been growing for nine hundred and seventy years. In another thirty years, it will grow into a transformable plant. Millennium elixir."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shocked.
A thousand-year-old elixir of transformation, what a precious treasure it is. Even in the Lingwu Continent, it can be called the "top elixir". It is the first time for many princes and ministers present to see such a precious elixir.
Seeing that Huangfu Sheng actually took out such a valuable treasure, Tuoba Feixiong also showed a hint of surprise, and immediately he couldn't help but look at him with a playful look.
"Imperial Master Huangfu actually brought out such a precious thing. I must have something that I think the Imperial Master cares about, so I might as well bring it up."
When Huangfu Sheng heard this, he didn't show any embarrassment at all. He smiled warmly and said, "Your Majesty is amused. When I was in the Tianyuan Dynasty, I heard that there is a holy mountain in your country. It has magnificent scenery and countless atmospheres, which makes me yearn for it very much.
However, I heard that the holy mountain is a forbidden area in your country, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot on it, so I hope that if we are lucky enough to win the competition, Your Majesty will make an exception and allow me to climb the holy mountain to have a look. "
