Chapter 123: The Feast of Many
"Moreover, the reason why the Heavenly Sword Royal Family was able to rise a hundred years ago was also to grow slowly, from a folk family to defeat the original dynasty and establish the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, the biggest help in this is the ancestor of the Qiu family!
Chen Tian nodded
It is precisely because of this situation that the Heavenly Sword royal family can't wait to make a move on the Qiu family, it can be said that the Qiu family and the royal Du family made a fortune together to fight the world, and finally the Du family took charge of the imperial power, and the Qiu family is also meritorious. In terms of prestige and network power, he was not under the Du family back then.
In addition, the Qiu family and the royal Du family are both forces that have existed for nearly a hundred years, and the power accumulated over the years should not be underestimated, and there are less than three years to be a hundred years.
The royal family's biggest concern now is not the threat from other countries, but internal troubles. In the past hundred years, successive emperors since the first emperor have more or less acted against the Qiu family, which will inevitably leave the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the Qiu family.
In the event that during the battle between the Nine Kingdoms, the Qiu family would be in trouble, and the Heavenly Sword Royal Family would not be able to bear such consequences! The current emperor did not want what happened to their Du family a hundred years ago to happen to the Qiu family again!
So even if you risk being criticized now, you have to eradicate the big hidden danger of Qiu Hao, but the Du family still cares about face, and they are not too blatant, after all, the current methods are still relatively gentle. Otherwise, now that there are so many masters in Jiuhua City, it will be impossible to kill Qiu Hao directly?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when the door was opened, it was Mu Xuan, who he had just met.
"Brother Xia Liu is also here, it just so happens that today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival feast in Jiuhua City, it is said to be lively, let's go and see it together?"
Hearing Mu Xuan's reminder, Chen Tiancai remembered that today was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and immediately nodded in agreement
"Alas, sure enough, women love to go shopping!" Jiuzhen said with emotion
......
The hinterland of the Heavenly Sword Country
A huge city stood, like a giant sword inserted into the earth, and the entire city exuded a terrifying sharp meaning, and even the void was slightly distorted
In the center of the city, a palace group that occupies almost a quarter of the area of the city is lined up one after another, Qionglou Yuyu, red tiles and blue bricks, the atmosphere is magnificent.
It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city is full of lights, and the city in the city is also bustling and lively
This city, known as Heavenly Sword City, this palace complex is the imperial palace of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom!
Now the owner of this palace is the fourth emperor of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom: Du Zijian!
In the emperor's study, the emperor of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, who was wearing an imperial robe and showing his old age, was practicing calligraphy hard, and a middle-aged man dressed in silver armor and looking like a guard hurriedly walked in and reported respectfully
"Holy Lord, the Heavenly Wind Kingdom has finally agreed to cooperate! A messenger will be sent to discuss specific matters soon! ”
Du Zijian didn't raise his head, and his writing became more engrossed: "Well, what happened to the envoy of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom who came into contact with the Qiu family that the Jade King said?"
"I asked about this matter, and Tianfeng Guo said that there had never been such a thing, but Qiu Hao had been in contact with them. However, in the end, no agreement was reached! This envoy said that it is very likely that Qiu Hao made it up!"
Syllable......
Du Zijian threw away his pen: "Hmph, a group of white-eyed wolves who can't get enough of it dare to compete with my royal family without their own strength! There are also people from the Heavenly Wind Country, if they hadn't paid a great price this time, they wouldn't have cooperated with us!"
The man who reported was the commander of the forbidden army of the Imperial Palace, the general of the protector of the country, Shan Yanqing, and the peak cultivation of the seven-layer realm of the spirit. This kind of cultivation is a shocking existence in the outside world, but in front of this person who controls the lord of a country, he respectfully echoes it
"And that impostor who popped up, I remember that it seems to be called Chen Tian, right? I heard that he interfered with a lot of my royal family's affairs?
"According to the spy's report, this person is not very old, but he is extraordinarily talented, and he once crushed the middle stage of the spirit attraction with the cultivation of the psychic realm at the Hundred Battles City Hundred Battles Conference! But no one knows his origin, as if he appeared out of thin air overnight!" Shan Yuqing's expression was slightly solemn
Du Zijian slowly raised his head and said to himself: "Extraordinary talent, can you still skip the challenge?" The origin is mysterious, could it be the person who came out of there?"
Only those sects with infinite resources can cultivate such arrogant people. For decades, it has been rare to see people from the sect walking outside, calculate the time, the Nine Kingdoms Battle is about to begin, and the disciples of these sects should also come out!
What he didn't know, however, was that Chen Tian was not a disciple of a sect with a strong background.
But to Du Zijian's displeasure, Chen Tian actually went to help the Qiu family fight against the royal family. This gave him a slight sense of crisis
"Quickly sent people to search for strange people among the people, but they found that they were attracted at any cost, and they also sent people to contact this person named Chen Tian, as long as it can be used by me, he can consider any conditions he wants. Even if he can't be wooed, he must not be allowed to fall to the side of other countries!" Du Zijian commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes" Shan Qingqing replied and went to do his own errand
"According to the instructions left by the ancestors, the battle of the Nine Kingdoms is a challenge and an opportunity. Last time, my Du family broke out of the cocoon, and this time it was to dominate the Nine Kingdoms and unify the Southern Wilderness. The Southern Wilderness World, which has been scattered for thousands of years, has also come to unify. ”
Du Zijian clenched his fists and looked at the four powerful characters he wrote: Dominating the Southern Wilderness!
"The tail of the Qiu family, you have to deal with it as soon as possible!" Suddenly, an old man walked out of the inner room of this study, and the wrinkles on his face went deep into the ravine, and he was extremely old
After Du Zijian saw it, he actually showed a respectful look: "There are still three years before the Nine Kingdoms Battle for Deer, and the current trend of public opinion is not favorable to my royal family, if it is ......"
The old man interrupted: "Don't you see that Qiu Hao is delaying time, we are waiting for the Nine Kingdoms to fight for the deer, why not Qiu Hao? Now that the people of the major sects have begun to appear, each of them is a great help, and there will even be characters who can change the direction of the Nine Kingdoms Battle in the future, these three years are very crucial, and the Qiu family cannot be given this chance again! In any case, this time it must be eradicated! And we also need all our energy to prepare." ”
Du Zijian pondered for a long time before he made up his mind: "I will give an order immediately and let them do it." ”
After all, in the eyes of the emperor, compared to reputation, the battle of the Nine Kingdoms is more important.
......
Night
In Jiuhua City, thousands of homes are brightly lit, and the streets are full of people, some take the opportunity to set up stalls to make a living, and there are also performers who win the applause of pedestrians
Of course, it is more to participate in the most huge banquet of the people in Jiuhua City - the Mid-Autumn Festival Li People's Banquet!
Because Jiuhua City is located in the southwest border, most of the people who come here are later migrated, or just from the army, their hometown and relatives are in the far mainland, so from the time when Qiu Cheng was alive, in order to relieve the pain of lovesickness, every Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a large banquet for the people, Jiuhua City and even nearby officials invite Li people to have fun.
As long as anyone in Jiuhua City can participate, regardless of the elder and the younger, there is no difference between the noble and the low. After a long time, this people's banquet has become a big feast in Jiuhua City and even the southwest border, many people are famous, and even Wangcheng will send people to comfort the soldiers of Jiuhua Army, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the people's banquet is a group of heroes.
Chen Tian, Jiuzhen and Mu Xuan have been wandering the streets for a day
Chen Tian looked at the two of them who were getting more and more excited with a strange face, and he was speechless in his heart, although he was not very tired, but he was tired, he didn't have the heart to watch these for a long time. Mu Xuan didn't forget it, but Jiuzhen seemed to have met a confidant, and quickly mingled with Jiuzhen. I don't know, I thought the two were childhood sweethearts
"Huh, boss, isn't that the old beggar of yesterday?" Jiu Zhen suddenly pointed to a corner and said, "I remember that he doesn't seem to be very convenient to move, this action of eating chicken...... It's really slippery!"
Chen Tian looked over, and an old man in ragged clothes was holding a whole chicken dirtily and gnawing on it with relish, and there was a wine jar next to it. The speed and the mouth method, a chicken is about to be gnawed in a few breaths, and from time to time it will drink wine, and there is still the weak appearance of yesterday
"This old man, didn't you get the source stone yesterday, why are you still begging here?" Chen Tian bought a roast chicken and a jar of wine from the side, walked over and put them in front of the old beggar
The old beggar recognized Chen Tian and the others, his body suddenly became agitated, his hands began to tremble, and he trembled and grabbed the roast chicken and wine in Chen Tian's hands
"The young man is kind-hearted, the old man is unlucky, the one thousand and one source stones that the three young heroes gave to the old man yesterday were robbed. I can only be reduced to begging for food!"
A thousand and one pieces, how can there still be a piece? Chen Tianhu glanced at Jiuzhen suspiciously, he didn't have to think about it, he was sure that he couldn't get rid of this guy, and only he could do it, the latter touched his nose a little embarrassed, which confirmed Chen Tian's conjecture.
"Isn't it, the security in Jiuhua City is notoriously good, and someone will rob you of things?" Jiuzhen was broken by the old beggar, and the more he looked at the old beggar, the more unpleasant he became: "And you ate quite slippery just now, and now it has become like this in a blink of an eye, I think the old man is pretending!"
"The young man doesn't know, old decay is a disease, and it is caused by hunger and weakness!"
"Then eat more, it's not enough, there are still some source stones here, the old man can find a livelihood, it's better than begging!" Chen Tian said and took out another bag
The old beggar took the bag and said, "What's so embarrassing?"
"Old man, I also have some source stones, you can take them. Mu Xuan also handed over a bag
"Alas, this girl can't help but be beautiful, and her heart is also beautiful."
These words made Mu Xuan's face a little red, and he was at a loss for what to do in an instant: "Don't talk nonsense, old man, people are men!"
Chen Tian didn't expect this old beggar to break Mu Xuan's gender at once. didn't care, turned his head to look at Jiuzhen, the meaning couldn't be more obvious
"I don't have any money, and I can't have money even if I die. Jiuzhen spread his hands out, and he didn't want to pull out a hair
The old beggar despised it in his heart.
Chen Tian had no choice but to force others, so he planned to leave
"Is this young man going to the people's banquet?" the old beggar suddenly asked
"Yes, do you want the old man together?"
"I'm not going to join in the fun, this old bone. However, there is nothing to see at the people's banquet, and it is just a waste of time to watch it, so it is better to use it for cultivation. It's better for the young man not to go."
Chen Tian didn't understand the old man's obstruction, and replied: "Cultivation is not something that happens overnight. The years are quiet, if you blindly cultivate, what is the meaning of life?"
When the old man heard this, a trace of strange color that was imperceptible to outsiders crossed the depths of his eyes, and he raised his head and glanced at Chen Tian deeply
"Old and mortal people, some ignorant opinions, don't blame the young man!"
After Chen Tian and the three left, the old beggar stared at the backs of the three
"Why don't you understand the old man's words, these fools have to join in the fun. Tonight, this Jiuhua City has to be tossed!"
