Chapter 20: The Imperial Palace

Soon it was the day of the banquet, and Yurou was excited along the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tiansheng called He Shu aside, deliberately avoided Yurou and whispered, "You don't care?"

He Shu scratched his head and said inexplicably: "What's the matter?"

Born with a smile and said: "Aren't you on a pretty good relationship these days? Now that she is so excited, when she enters the palace, she will lose the face of our sword gate, and you won't persuade her?"

Well, He Shu thought about it, it seems to be this truth. He trotted up to Yurou and whispered something. Then I saw that Yu Rou said something to her angrily, He Shu couldn't stop apologizing, and was born to laugh gloatingly.

After a while, I saw He Shu coming over, with a bitter face: "Senior brother, I was miserable by you." Senior Sister Yurou reprimanded me. ”

Tiansheng held back a smile, tried his best to put on the appearance that he should have as a senior brother, and said righteously: "He Shu, you see that you, as a senior brother, have no majesty in front of your junior sister, how can this work?

"What Senior Brother said is very true, in the future, if Senior Sister Yurou has anything, I will try to correct it!"

Tiansheng saw that He Shu actually remembered his words seriously, and ran to Yurou to say something righteously. I immediately felt that this junior brother was also extremely cute, and now there are few people who are so easy to deceive.

"What did you say to He Shu?" Zhuo Yue slowly walked to Tiansheng's side and said softly.

And then I was born to honestly tell the original peace of the previous conversation.

After listening, Zhuo Yue glanced at the two people arguing in front of her, and said lightly: "You have made He Shu miserable." ”

Born with a smile and said: "Actually, it's okay, the two of them are a pair of happy enemies, don't you think it's fun?"

......

Walking all the way, I soon came to the gate of the palace.

I saw that the vermilion palace gate was huge and heavy, the left door was engraved with a lifelike dragon, and the right door was engraved with a golden phoenix. If you look closely, it is extremely vivid, as if it is about to soar from the door.

Legend has it that the dragon and the phoenix are ancient beasts that protect the human world for the gods and have been fighting to maintain peace and tranquility in the human world. Legend has it that in ancient times, the demon world invaded the human world, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor fought endlessly, and human beings faced life and death. In the end, the dragon descended from the sky, followed the god emperor, and did not return to the god realm alone until he defeated the demon world. Since then, there has been a custom of believing in dragons and phoenixes and taking them as totems. And now, the dragon and phoenix have become the representative of the royal identity.

After Elder Luofeng handed over the invitation, the group entered the palace under the guidance of a guard. Along the way, pavilions and pavilions, carved dragons and phoenixes are not uncommon. I don't know how long I walked, but I finally came to the main hall of the banquet.

Standing at the door, I saw that the three-meter-long golden dragon on the left and right sides was spitting out unknown spring water in its mouth, and the water actually exuded a faint multicolored light, which was extremely beautiful. Walking into the main hall, looking at the floor tiles made of white jade, the light can be seen. On either side were a hundred long tables made of deep sea sandalwood, and some spiritual fruits and delicate snacks were placed on the table. Under the guidance of a maid, everyone came to the table in front and took their seats.

At this time, the emperor and queen of Jiang Guo were already sitting at the front of the hall, and other people from the immortal sect came one after another. Born to take a closer look, the emperor looks very elegant, completely different from the domineering monarch he imagined. The queen on the side is also dignified and beautiful, showing the demeanor of the mother of a country.

Finally, the invited immortals have arrived.

The emperor stood up slowly, holding a wine glass in his hand and said leisurely: "Thank you elders for being able to bring the elites of the sect to be invited, and the battle wind will do it first." ”

The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then everyone also picked up the wine glass and saluted. There was no way to do it, so I could only drink a glass of wine with everyone.

After that, a group of dancing girls came out, with long sleeves fluttering, and the dancing posture was beautiful. But I didn't have the slightest interest, not that I didn't like it, in fact, I had never seen such a beautiful dance, which was picturesque and intoxicating. It's just that I watched frequently, but I still didn't see the person I wanted to see.

"Senior brother, why are you absent-minded? Isn't this dance in line with my brother's taste?" He Shu, who was watching with relish, saw that Tiansheng looked around from time to time, and asked curiously.

"It's okay, it's good. Tiansheng said that he came back to his senses and continued to enjoy the dance.

After a while, a soldier hurriedly entered the main hall and came to Gu Zhanfeng's side and whispered. Gu Zhanfeng looked surprised after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, has something big happened?" took a sip of wine, and seeing Gu Zhanfeng with a surprised face, Elder Luofeng said leisurely.

When Gu Zhanfeng heard this, he came back to his senses, smiled, and replied, "It's a big deal, but it's not. ”

"Oh, what did Your Majesty say this?" said an elder of Shushan curiously.

Gu Zhanfeng looked at the elder and said softly, "The elder didn't know anything, half a month ago. Zhan Feng had received a report that the Central Plains Imperial State had occupied the Chen State, and the main general Xuanyuan Gu led the army back to the Imperial State. Who knew that this had just gotten the latest news, Xuanyuan Gu led a million-strong army to open the Great Chu again, and it seems that the Central Plains will start a war again. This matter is a big deal for any country, and the reason why it is not said is mainly because Jiang Guo is located in a remote area, far away from the ten countries of the Central Plains, and has little impact. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao frowned, not knowing what she was thinking. Before you know it, the singing and dancing have stopped.

"Oh, I see. It's just that I have also heard that the ten countries of the Central Plains are strong and strong, and they are on equal footing, but they also restrain each other. It's been stable for thousands of years, how can war break out so quickly?"

"This matter is to mention Xuanyuan Gu, a genius of the imperial kingdom who has become famous in the past ten years. It is said that this person's mother is only a maid in the palace, but by a coincidence, she was accepted as a concubine by Xuanyuan Yang, the current emperor of the imperial country, and was deeply favored. Therefore, he was jealous of the queen and found a reason to ask Xuanyuan Yang to give his mother death. Because the queen is the holy daughter of the Falling Flower Palace, and she has the support of the entire Falling Flower Palace behind her, Xuanyuan Yang has no choice but to give her death. However, this Xuanyuan Gu can really be called a peerless Tianjiao, at that time, there was friction between the imperial state and the Chen state, and the war continued. After his mother's death, he was sent to the border to garrison. From a small general, he slowly became a main general. Let countless veterans who fought on the battlefield follow with all their hearts, and now it only took ten years to destroy Chen Guo, which is really young and terrifying. ”

After speaking, everyone sighed, and many people here were excellent disciples of the Immortal Sect, young geniuses, but none of them could be compared with such heroes. It can only be said that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky. Then singing and dancing, everyone began to drink and enjoy the dance again. After all, those who cultivate immortals are far away from earthly disputes. What's more, the Central Plains is too far away from here, but no one cares.

But one of the people at the feast clenched his hands and gritted his teeth. With Gu Zhanfeng's words, sometimes his face showed resentment, and sometimes it was deep. When he heard Xuanyuan Gu, his face showed a hint of joy again.

For more than ten years, she hadn't heard anything about the imperial kingdom, although she knew that it was the imperial brother's attempt to protect herself. But when will those days end? But after hearing the news by chance today, she knew that the day to go back was not far off!

"Are you okay?" looked at Xuanyuan Yao, who was sitting next to him, and asked with natural concern.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Xuanyuan Yao wiped her forehead, and her face was full of cold sweat at some point.

"That's good. "Born to put his mind at ease, although he usually has a bad relationship with Xuanyuan Yao, they are all brothers and sisters in the same school, and they should still care about it. As for what Xuanyuan Yao has to do with the Xuanyuan Gu he heard, how is it possible? Xuanyuan's surname has been around since ancient times, and although it is not common today, it is not uncommon. However, it is said that the Xuanyuan family of the imperial kingdom is the bloodline of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and the specific truth is unknown.

It was getting late at night, and the banquet was coming to an end. Under the arrangement of the maid, all the guests were arranged to their respective accommodations. According to Uncle Shi, the banquet is held once a Jiazi, and each time it lasts for three days. So there is enough time, and I am not in a hurry by nature, and there will definitely be a chance.

When I came to my room, I first looked around, and the decoration and furniture were extremely exquisite. The beds and the like are made of fine silk and are extremely comfortable to lie on. I have to say that the royal people just know how to enjoy, unlike the various immortal factions, who pay attention to what the avenue is simple, the food is not good, the living is not good, and they blindly cultivate.

Lying on such a comfortable bed, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

On the second day, accompanied by Gu Zhanfeng, a group of people came to the Imperial Garden. Compared with the magic of each immortal blessed land, the ingenuity of the imperial garden also has another beauty. Looking at the beautiful scenery carved by skilled craftsmen, I can't help but sigh at the imagination and creativity of these craftsmen.

At this time, passing by a pond with clear water and a few golden carp.

Gu Zhanfeng introduced on the side: "The carp in here all have a trace of dragon blood, so they are also called dragonfish." Legend has it that if you jump over the dragon gate, you can turn into a dragon. ”

Yurou asked in surprise, "Is there a carp that has turned into a dragon?"

Gu Zhanfeng smiled lightly: "This is just a legend, and no one has really seen it." ”

As he spoke, he continued to walk, introducing some other landscapes. Everyone walked and walked, and suddenly heard the sound of sword practice in front of them.

"May I ask Your Majesty, I don't know who is practicing the sword in front?" Elder Luofeng asked when he heard the sound of the sword.

"Hehe, it should be my unsuccessful daughter. Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

It can't be Gu Tianxue, right? Tiansheng was shocked, but then he thought, how could there be such a coincidence. Maybe it's her sisters.

Then a group of people came looking for the sound of the sword. I saw a girl in green, dancing a sword in the wind, and the sword was sharp. The face that appears from time to time is fair and delicate.

When a group of people approached, the girl also stopped practicing her sword. ran over with an innocent face: "Father, why are you here?"

Gu Zhanfeng glanced at the girl, and said with a look of pity: "I'll take all the elders to visit the Imperial Garden, Xue'er, don't you meet the elders of the Immortal Sect yet!"

"Tianxue greets the elders. He bowed his hand and saluted.

It's really Gu Tianxue, born a little surprised, a little uncomfortable. I haven't seen it for many years, and the brutal little girl of the year has become more and more beautiful, and it feels like something is wrong.

"Okay, Your Majesty has given birth to a good daughter! It's much better than my disciples. Elder Maoshan stroked his beard and smiled.

The elder laughed, the little girl has been playful since she was a child, and she has neglected to discipline. I didn't see a single figure all day, how could I be so praised by the elders. However, the elder disciples are all mature and steady, and their qualifications are extraordinary. ”

"Your Majesty is humble. The smile on Elder Maoshan's face was even worse, and he was very useful to hear these words, but he still said modestly.

Gu Tianxue looked at the two of them who were praising each other, and suddenly felt bored, and arched his hand: "Then the father, the elders, Tianxue still has something to do, so let's go first." Saying that, leave everyone with a free and easy back.
