Volume 2 122 Night Banquet (1)

Xuan Cheng took the guy out of the painting boat, and when he got to the street, he gave the guy the piece of paper he took from Yuanlou and asked him to take it back and hand it over to Uncle Lian.

As for what Uncle Lian was going to do with that piece of paper, it wasn't something he should worry about. He has already done everything he can do, and the real culprit who secretly framed Shen Muzhi at that time has also been found, and the rest is just to settle accounts after the autumn. This matter should not be interfered with by an outsider as an outsider.

For the Shen Mansion, this reckoning may not be something that should be in a hurry right now.

Tonight's big drama has not yet started, and whether it will be sunny or cloudy tomorrow has not yet been determined.

If the emperor wins, everything is easy to say.

If the second prince wins, then this piece of paper and the truth will probably only be taken to the grave by Uncle Lian.

However, now that He Xian is here, presumably the second prince has little chance of winning.

While thinking about this, Xuan Cheng walked to the Jinming Pavilion.

This matter is already halfway through the unitary time.

He made an appointment with He Xian before, and met in Jinming Pavilion when he was in the middle of the day, and went to the palace together.

He Xian has not yet arrived.

Jin Mingge's men had already been instructed by He Xian, and when they saw him appear, they led him to the upstairs room. In the room, the stove has been lit and the tea has been prepared.

Xuan Cheng sat down on the edge of the bed, took a sip of the tea poured by the man, and then turned his head to look out the window, worried in his heart.

Shen Muzhi's matter, although He Xian's side seems to be quite sure, there is no news so far, which is really reassuring.

Not far away, inside the palace, red dragons of light are cruising all over the palace. The red firelight was reflected between the towering city walls, and the light and shadow were scattered, like a dream.

It's just that I don't know how much blood will be covered by these red candles in this palace city tonight.

Suddenly, inside the imperial city, palace music sounded.

The family feast has begun.

At this moment, the man shouted outside the door, "Dao Chief, my son-in-law has arrived." ”

Xuan Cheng heard the sound, got up and left the window, and walked downstairs.

As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw He Xian standing at the door.

He walked up to say hello, and after He Xian responded, he smiled and said, "Wait a minute, there is still someone." ”

Xuan Cheng didn't think much about it.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when Xuan Cheng turned his head, what he saw was the 'culprit' who had caused him to sleep and eat in the past few days!

Shen Muzhi, who had changed into clean clothes, stood there, and after not seeing him for a few days, he had lost a lot of weight. He was not fat in the first place, but now he looks like a bamboo pole worn in a piece of clothing, empty, making people feel very thin. On the thin cheeks, there is almost no blood, the eyes are sunken, and the look in the eyes is also very gloomy. Seeing Xuan Cheng, he grinned, trying to squeeze out a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Xuan Cheng was surprised, stunned in place, for a while, before he came back to his senses, and after looking at Shen Mu, he asked He Xian in surprise, "Is it Liu Guanfang's person?"

He Xian replied: "Liu Guan doesn't know yet. Tonight's family banquet, even if he doesn't attend, his disciple He Jinyan will definitely attend. Going to surprise them. ”

Xuan Cheng frowned and said, "He's like this, let's let him rest here." Otherwise, I won't go, I'll rest here with him. ”

Without waiting for He Xian to speak, Shen Muzhi suddenly spoke, "It's okay, I want to go and see it too." ”

When Xuan Cheng heard this, he glanced at Shen Mu unexpectedly, and always felt that this time again, he seemed to have something different.

"Let's go. He Xian greeted with a smile.

Since Shen Muzhi wanted to go by himself, Xuan Cheng had no choice but to follow him. However, he was still worried about Shen Muzhi's body, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out the bottle of bright red liquid that had been fed to Shen Muping with a drop, and also made a drop for Shen Muzhi to take it.

The liquid entered the throat, like a line of fire, and in an instant, the heat spread to the whole body with the hundreds of limbs, and in an instant, Shen Muzhi's whole spirit felt much better. The originally pale cheeks also seemed to be a little bloody.

He Xian looked at Shen Muzhi's state for a moment, and then looked at the bottle that Xuan Cheng was about to put away in his hand, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then asked curiously, "Could this be the legendary blood jade liquid?"

Xuan Cheng shook his head and smiled: "How could I have that kind of legendary thing." This is a blood-replenishing thing made by mixing the blood of demon beasts with various elixirs. ”

This elixir made from the blood of demon beasts is not a strange thing in the mountains. In fact, in the past, when demon beasts were not as rare as they are now, this kind of elixir made from the corpses of demon beasts was so varied that it was enough to dazzle people. However, now that there are fewer demon beasts, most of them hide in the mountains and rarely show up, so this kind of elixir is relatively rare in the mountains now.

As a disciple of the Great Sword Sect, He Xian is naturally no stranger to this kind of thing, and even he has this kind of elixir on his body at the moment, of course, the curative effect is not the same as Xuancheng's.

And the reason why he thought it was blood jade liquid just now was because the appearance and curative effect of this thing were very similar to the description of the legendary blood jade liquid. The second is that the empty mountain where Xuan Cheng is located is very related to the Qiling Gate that suddenly disappeared three hundred years ago. That blood jade liquid used to be only available in Qi Lingmen.

Now that Xuan Cheng said this, He Xian immediately believed it. After all, even if that empty mountain is really related to that Qi Ling Sect, it has been nearly a thousand years since the blood jade liquid disappeared, and there may not be such a thing in the Qi Ling Sect.

It's just that just as the two of them said this, Shen Muzhi's expression, which had just gotten better, suddenly turned pale again, and then suddenly leaned over and retched.

When Xuan Cheng and He Xian saw this, they were both stunned.

Xuan Cheng was the first to react, Shen Muzhi was the reason.

He Xian also reacted, and after the two glanced at each other, they were helpless and in mixed moods.

Xuan Cheng stepped forward and patted his back, pretending not to know why Shen Muzhi was here, and after he got better, he injected a spiritual energy into his body, helping him lead the only three melons and two dates left in the dantian, and they worked in his body, and after a week, Shen Muzhi's condition finally improved a lot.

"How's it going?" asked Xuan Cheng.

Shen Muzhi nodded silently.

"Then let's go, or I'll miss the big show. He Xian said on the side.

......

The Qianhe Hall was brightly lit at this time.

Silk bamboo curling, beautiful and enchanting.

At the top of the table, a golden dragon banquet table was set with wine and food, and the emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, reclining on the couch at the back, squinting his eyes, and looking at the slender figure dancing below.

On both sides, long low tables were arranged in an orderly manner, and all the richly dressed princes and important ministers had taken their seats, but the second prince, who should have been sitting first on the left, was sitting first on the right today. There were three tables across from him, all of which were empty.

The people who don't know the reason either have doubts in their hearts or quietly ask each other.

Even the second prince frowned slightly as his gaze swept over the three tables.

However, after the third prince was puzzled at first, he simply stopped being curious, and turned his head to whisper to the fourth prince who was still young on the side.

"Your Majesty, the time has passed, why don't you start?" The eunuch on the side walked to the emperor's side, leaned down, and asked quietly.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the door of the Qianhe Palace, the closed door seemed to open at any time, and he didn't know when it would open.

The emperor was a little unhappy in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he was about to nod and order the eunuch to start serving.

Before the words could be spoken, the door of the Qianhe Hall suddenly opened, and the cold wind of the winter night suddenly blew in, and the lights in the candlestick suddenly flickered, and it was dark and uncertain.

The dancing girl's gauze skirt was blown by the wind, and the spring was shining, and the shy exclamation made people feel ape.

It's just that the people sitting in this hall, except for the four princes who are still young, are all human spirits. Everyone's eyes were on the door.

He Xian, who was dressed in an ink brocade robe, took the lead in taking a step out of the darkness outside the door and walked into the light. Jade belt with hair, handsome face, upright posture, good a graceful and beautiful man.

Rao is emperor who has already seen He Xian, and at this time he had to secretly exclaim in his heart, "Sure enough, he is not a mortal, this son should be a heavenly person." ”

As for the others, they are becoming more and more curious about He Xian's identity.

The third prince knew He Xian, and after recognizing it, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then hurriedly got up and prepared to go forward.

It's just that as soon as he moved, two more people behind He Xian stepped through the darkness side by side, stepped into the hall, bathed in the flickering candlelight.

The person on the left is wearing a black and white robe, with wide sleeves and big swings, and is fluttering in the wind. With a hosta on his head and a young face, although he is not as shocking as the first person, he can be regarded as handsome. Especially those eyes, they are extremely bright, even if they are just glanced at from a distance, they make people feel that they are righteous and awe-inspiring.

And the other person next to this person looked very thin, quite tall, but because of his height, he became more and more thin, and he couldn't help but be weak, as if as long as the wind outside the door was stronger, this person would be blown away.

However, soon many people in this hall recognized the person next to Xuan Cheng.

Suddenly, whispers kept ringing, and in the words, the sentences "Didn't he hurt his brother" and "Isn't he dead?"

The second prince and the third prince also recognized Shen Muzhi, the fourth prince was not familiar with him, and now he was so thin that he couldn't look good, but he didn't recognize it for a while, just listened to the surrounding voices and looked at him curiously.

After the second prince recognized Shen Mu, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he withdrew his gaze and picked up the teacup in front of him, but his face became a little gloomy.

And not far behind him, a woman who was dressed slightly different from other maidservants, couldn't help frowning after recognizing Shen Mu.

The third prince was stunned for a moment.

After arranging for Shen Muzhi to save Shen Muping, they all thought that the mission had failed, and even if Shen Muzhi was not dead, he must have been controlled by Dayuan. Later, Shen Muping came back suddenly, although Shen Wei never revealed who rescued Shen Muping, but the third prince still vaguely guessed that it was very likely to be Shen Muzhi.

It's just that this news has not had time to be verified.

Later, Shen Wei's family lost news outside Anding City.

He thought they were all dead.

But at this moment, Shen Muzhi was standing in front of him.

If Shen Muzhi didn't die, what about Shen Wei and Shen Muping?

When the third prince thought of this, he couldn't help but feel some sincere joy in his heart.

If these two people hadn't died, it would have been a great help to him in the future.

At this moment, the door finally shut, and with a muffled thud, suppressed all the restlessness and curiosity in the hall, at least on the surface.

The third prince came back to his senses and strode forward, first greeting each other with He Xian, and then consoling Shen Muzhi with concern, and then looking at Xuan Cheng and asking for his name.

After Xuan Cheng introduced himself, the three princes led the three of them forward to greet the emperor.

After some introduction and introduction, the three of them sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Shen Muzhi first glanced at the real culprit, the second prince, and then inexplicably glanced back, so he saw the woman with a thin veil on her face.

For He Jinyan, he will never forget when he is burned to ashes.

And after He Jinyan saw that he had found himself, he suddenly moved under his feet, and his figure suddenly disappeared in the darkness behind him.

Xuan Cheng and He Xian on the side had already discovered that after seeing her leave, the two looked at each other and understood each other.

At this time, under the emperor's order, the banquet officially began.
