Chapter 53: Shangguan's Family Banquet
Long Mochen was bent on rushing to Shangguan's house to check the teleportation array under Shangguan's medicine field, so he didn't spend too much thought on Long Ziyao, if he stayed for a few more hours, or spent a little effort to ponder Long Ziyao's sudden change, maybe he would soon discover the secret of Long Ziyao's body.
On the same day, Long Mochen expelled Long Ziyao and Concubine Rou from the Mo Palace, Long Ziyao fell into a black pit when he was grief-stricken, in order to survive, Long Ziyao betrayed his body to the demons hidden in the pit.
However, due to the weak strength of the demons, they did not completely occupy Long Ziyao's consciousness, and when Long Ziyao woke up in the pit, he found the consciousness of the demons living in his body.
Under the command of the demon, Long Ziyao pretended to return to the palace, and I am afraid that the palace will not be peaceful in the future.
It's just that Long Mochen, who was bent on remembering the teleportation array, didn't know about Long Ziyao, and he took Ling Yun to hurry up and finally rushed to Shangguan's house before the alchemy conference began.
The annual alchemy conference is an incomparable event for the Shangguan family, and of course, the champions of the alchemy conferences over the years are all from the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Gu is now in charge of the scepter, Shangguan Gu is more than eighty years old this year, he is a fourth-order alchemist, and due to proper maintenance, he looks like he is only in his early fifties.
Shangguan Gu has three biological sons, Shangguan Qingping, Shangguan Qingrong and Shangguan Qingyun, these three sons are not angry, except for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, they are not proficient in everything.
In between, Shangguan Gu screened among the relatives of the Shangguan family in the early years, and finally adopted Shangguan Yu, who has the most cultivation potential, and now Shangguan Yu, who is only in his early twenties, has already trained as a fourth-order alchemist, and he is the champion of the last alchemy conference.
Now, in order to welcome the guests, Shangguan Gu and his four sons are waiting outside the door early.
Shangguan Qingping looked sleep-deprived, took advantage of the group of guests who had just been sent in, leaned crookedly against the wooden door, and asked Shangguan Qingrong beside him in a low voice: "I heard that the three princes of this year's alchemy conference came back to participate, is this true?"
"Who knows, anyway, the eldest prince is here, the eldest prince is the heir to the throne, you don't care if the third prince likes to come or not. Shangguan Qingyun interjected.
Shangguan Qingrong said in a low voice: "Don't talk about it, the third prince has arrived." ”
As soon as Long Mochen's figure appeared, Shangguan Gu greeted him.
Different from the stupidity of his three sons, since receiving a reply from the messenger sent by His Royal Highness King Mo a few days ago, Shangguan Gu realized that something was about to happen.
Shangguan Qingyun said well, the eldest prince is the heir to the future throne, but the ability of the third prince should not be underestimated. After all, long before the third prince had broken his leg, Shangguan Gu heard the rumor that the third prince was a strong contender for the throne.
Although the third prince was later injured and broke his leg on the battlefield, the prestige of the three princes never dissipated in the government and the opposition.
Adhering to the belief that no one should be offended, although the Shangguan family has tried their best to win over the eldest prince Long Mastiff over the years, they have not been less courteous to the third prince Long Mochen.
Take the invitation letter for this alchemy conference, Shangguan's family sent the invitation to King Mo's mansion early as usual, but unexpectedly, the three princes, who had never participated in any celebrations, actually said that they would come to the alchemy conference in person, which was strange, which made Shangguan Gu pay special attention.
"His Royal Highness King Mo, if you miss the distance, please forgive me. Shangguan Gu bowed slightly and said.
Long Mochen sat in a wheelchair, nodded slightly, and said, "No need to be polite, tonight's celebration should start soon, let's go in first." ”
According to the process arrangement of the alchemy conference, the guests gathered tonight, and the Shangguan family was the host, and all the guests present were invited to the banquet. During the banquet, singing and dancing, delicious food and wine, were praised by everyone who participated in the alchemy conference.
Shangguan Gu originally didn't dare to open the table because Long Mochen was late, but now after Long Mochen took the initiative, he immediately invited Long Mochen to take a seat.
"Father, we can't sit at the table yet. Shangguan Yu's face was slightly red with anxiety, and he leaned closer to Shangguan Gu's ear and said, "The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion haven't arrived yet." ”
"Xiangfu, I just saw Su Xindie and the eldest prince go in together. Shangguan Qingping said.
Shangguan Yu's face was even more ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Su Xindie came with the eldest prince this time, and she is not a representative of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This time, on behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Kexin, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, heard that she is also an alchemist. ”
The whispers of everyone had already reached the ears of Long Mochen, who was standing not far away, he originally wanted to go to the medicine field of the Shangguan family, but when he heard Su Kexin's three words, his footsteps stopped unconsciously.
"What about her?" Shangguan asked in a lonely voice.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has been friends with the Shangguan family over the years, and is also a strong supporter of the annual alchemy conference, if the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion disappear because of participating in the alchemy conference, Shangguan Gu really doesn't know how to explain it to the Xiangye.
"What's wrong?" Long Mochen also suddenly approached and asked.
Shangguan Yu was taken aback, he was facing Long Mochen head-on, but he didn't know when Long Mochen was approaching.
If Long Mochen is a normal person with quick movements, Shangguan Yu may not take this kind of conscious mistake to heart, but the problem is that Long Mochen is disabled in a wheelchair, and his movements are extremely quiet, but Shangguan Yu is unaware of Long Mochen's actions, which makes Shangguan Yu's impression of Long Mochen greatly changed.
"The third prince doesn't have to worry, we will take care of it soon, and it won't affect the progress of the dinner. Shangguan Yu bowed and said.
Long Mochen ignored Guan Yu's respect, and his voice became colder: "I heard Su Kexin's name just now, it just so happened that a few days ago, the king of Japan had something to ask for help from Miss Su, if Miss Su came today, please give me an introduction." ”
Shangguan Gu didn't expect Long Mochen to take the initiative to mention Su Kexin, although they had no impression of Su Kexin, but after all, Su Kexin was under the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Long Mochen also intervened, so the Shangguan family could only postpone the banquet and find Su Kexin first.
However, where will Su Kexin, a big living person, go.
During the banquet, Su Xindie was dressed up in fancy clothes, and her body was full of precious jewelry, which looked like a jewelry shelf from a distance. It's just that she still wears a scarf on her face to cover the scars on her face.
"Miss Su, please take a step to speak. Shangguan Yu didn't know when he appeared behind Su Xindie, and said respectfully.
Su Xindie didn't raise her eyelids, and said coldly: "I know you, you are the little son of the Shangguan family, don't you know what time it is, the eldest prince and I are waiting for you to open the banquet, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after the banquet." Besides, what do I have to say to you? ”
Shangguan Yu's face was full of forbearance, and after half a sound, he took a deep breath, lowered his voice and asked, "Excuse me, where is Su Kexin?"
