There was still a period of time before the banquet began, and the Tian family was still busy getting closer to the relationship between the various nobles, and they didn't have time to take care of them, so in order to pass the time, the three of them chatted, but the main thing was Cohen's surprise and inquiry at Ouyang Xun's sudden appearance.
"What? Is it good to use foreign merchants to suppress foreign armies, but at what cost?" asked Cohen.
"Maybe we need to be accommodating. Jue guessed.
Ouyang Xun smiled at Jue and said, "That's right, it's really thanks to Lord Jue's chamber of commerce system, otherwise there would be no businessmen involved." β
"You don't have to exalt me, now you are the biggest hero, after all, it was you who established good relations with foreign businessmen in the first place. Jue waved his hand.
At this time, Cohen sent it to the middle of the two. Jue and Ouyang Xun saw that Cohen had something to say, so they listened attentively.
"Ouyang Xun, Jue. You'd better not touch anything at this banquet, it's okay if I'm dead, you and Jue must not die! As long as the dragon clan still recognizes Jue, and you still control the country's operation system, you must not die!"
Ouyang Xun looked at Cohen and didn't know what to say, but Jue gently patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "It's okay, what I have to worry about today is how you should escape." If you arrive at the banquet, you won't have to worry about the food, I'll tell you, so let's enjoy the banquet. β
The two looked at Jue, and then nodded in disbelief.
The banquet was held in buffet mode, and its purpose was to let the future heads of the noble families get to know each other in advance, leave a good impression, and facilitate the future family rule.
"Thank you, everyone. Tian Yangcheng stood at the top and greeted.
Jue and they also looked at Tian Yangcheng on the stage.
Jue looked around. Although there were no guards who could be seen at a glance, Jue could feel that there were several transcendents in it.
It's really rigorous to invite a transcendent. With so many transcendents, it's not a problem to force a high-ranking royal race back...... Although the losses on the Terran side will be great.
For Jue, even the transcendents present were not his opponents, but he was not in the mood to compete with these races today. Although the transcendents are able to fight the royal race, they can't catch up with the royal race after all, and perhaps the reason why they appear is to fight the demons.
"Thank you for coming. Today is the succession ceremony of my eldest son, so I won't say anything official. I'm old and don't have that much energy to toss, it's time to give up my place to future generations. I hope that you will be able to take care of my eldest son in the future, and point out what he has done badly, so that he can do better. In the end, today is just to have fun, there is nothing superfluous, everyone is like being in their own home. β
After saying that, the nobles below let out a sound like cheering, and Tian Yangcheng's eldest son also walked out from behind him and greeted the nobles below one by one.
At this time, Tian Yangcheng saw Jue and his party below, and then walked over.
Oh~ Did you find us? Why? You want to come over and kill us directly?
Jue observed the behavior of the transcendents around him, and at the same time paid attention to Tian Yangcheng's actions.
"Thank you so much, Lord Jue, Lord Cohen, and Lord Ouyang Xun, thank you so much for your face. Tian Yangcheng bowed as he spoke.
"Lord Tian is really polite, obviously you invited us, thank you so much for taking us to heart. Cohen bowed as well.
Jue looked at the two who returned the salute and didn't say anything.
In fact, everyone present knew that at least one of the three people would die at this banquet.
Politics is like that sometimes, if you disobey me, I'm going to put you to death. It's not that you don't report it, it's not time yet.
Jue raised his eyes at this time and looked at the eldest son of Tian Yangcheng in the distance.
It seems to be called ...... Tian Wuying came......
Jue thought about the name of Tian Yangcheng's eldest son.
Tian Yangcheng's eldest son came over at this time and stood in front of Jue.
"You are Lord Jue, the first time we met, I am the eldest son of Tian Yangcheng, Tian Wuling. With that, Tian Wuling stretched out his hand to Jue.
Ah, I misremember.
"Fortunately. Jue also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tian Wuling.
"Wu Ling, you should talk to others now, and you will have the opportunity to contact these adults in the future. Tian Yangcheng said in a shriveled tone.
Seeing that his father had this attitude, Tian Wuling didn't dare to stay longer, and left immediately.
After seeing Tian Wuling walk away, Tian Yangcheng looked at Ouyang Xun and said, "I really envy the Ouyang family for being able to cultivate such an heir, at such a young age, he can take on such a great responsibility." β
Indeed, among his peers, Ouyang Xun is definitely young and promising. Not only can he take care of the family so well at a young age, but he also acts quickly in handling things, and he has a heart for the city.
"Tian is really good at laughing, I am still just a child, how can I be praised by my seniors like this? I still need to learn more, but I still need the guidance of my seniors. Ouyang Xun said.
Although Jue had a poker face at this time, he was about to laugh out loud in his heart.
Ouyang Xun, you can! I've met so many people, your hypocrisy can be ranked among the top few!
Tian Yangcheng just smiled, and then glanced at Jue.
"Lord Jue is really talented, if you are the official of our country, it will be a very good thing to compare. β
Before Jue could reply, Tian Yangcheng walked away.
Cohen looked at Jue, and then said, "It's really rare, this time I actually recognized Tian Yangcheng's words, I can't believe it." β
Ouyang Xun also looked at Jue, and then said, "This is the first time that Tian Yangcheng has considered this country." β
The two looked at Jue.
"What do you think, guys. I'm an official of the Dragons. Do you want to dig into the corners of the dragons? I warn you, it's too much. β
Cohen and Ouyang Xun glanced at each other, then shrugged their shoulders helplessly.
The banquet was generally peaceful. Everyone eats their own and chats about their own days.
"Hey, can you eat it?" Ouyang Xun asked after watching Jue pick up a piece of food.
"It's in the form of self-help and it's fine. Cohen said, and then he pointed to Jue, who was eating a lot of food, and said, "Look, that guy is ecstatic." β
β...... Truly...... It's a little ......," Ouyang Xun said in an indescribable tone.
"I really didn't expect that I didn't look like such a person who could eat, but I didn't expect my appetite to be so big!" Cohen said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, if you really plan to include him in our country in the future, you can't ignore the treatment given to him. Cohen smiled wryly.
"Do you have a solution?"
"Jue is in charge of the Dragon Clan after all, and he doesn't have any big rights, and the Dragon Clan will not give the title of a Terran Dragon Clan noble, so we just need to prove that we can give Jue more. Moreover, Jue is a human after all, and it is difficult to control his liking or desire for the opposite sex, but if there is no accident, it is difficult for him to have thoughts about the dragon people, isn't Ouyang Taxue proof of this......?
"Do you use a woman to control Jue?" asked Ouyang Xun.
"It's not that it can't be, but that would be too obvious, and besides, the version of the southern kingdom is monogamous, and if the concubines are allowed, I'm afraid it will be against the precedent. β
Hearing this, Ouyang Xun smiled, and then asked, "Isn't Lord Cohen also spending his days drinking every day, and you still have to worry about this matter?"
"Boy, is it good to recognize the reality? Now we are united on this issue. And those are just slaves, not even concubines. β
Ouyang Xun shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.
Cohen's lust is well known in the court, and perhaps for this guy who has lived for nearly a thousand years, only engaging in that kind of activity can make him remember that he is still a person.
And Jue had slowed down his eating speed at this time.
What are you talking about, kids? Just because a woman is going to control me?!
At this moment, Tian Wuling came over.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming, and I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation with my father, but for now, please talk to me. β
As he spoke, Tian Wuling asked the attendant to hand over the wine glass.
Cohen and Ouyang Xun knew that there should be poison in the wine this time.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid that I won't be able to poison the wine?" Tian Wuling seemed to see the concerns of several people.
Jue took the wine glass at this time, and then said, "Although I am an official of the Dragon Clan, I was not born in Lingyun. So if this is a gesture of goodwill that Lord Tian Wuling has made to us, then please follow the ritual on our side. β
Tian Wuling stared at Jue, his eyes drifting between Jue and the wine glass in his hand.
Everyone here understands that the current Jue is under the steps of the people of the aristocratic faction. At present, the strength of the aristocratic faction has been greatly reduced, and the pro-king faction has the absolute upper hand, and if the battle continues, it will be nothing more than a self-inflicted loss of 1,000 and killing 800 enemies for the aristocratic faction; now Jue, on behalf of the pro-king faction, wants the aristocratic faction to throw an olive branch, which is undoubtedly a chance for the aristocratic faction to ease up again. Moreover, Jue put the word "show goodwill" literally, and Tian Wuling had no reason to refuse.
"Lord Jue has said so, how can I still have a reason to refuse? May I ask Lord Jue what is the ritual over there?" Tian Yangcheng asked.
After hearing this, Jue shook the wine glass in his hand slightly, and then said, "We are very worried about the poison in this wine, so how about we drink this glass of wine together?" Jue asked.
"Do you want to drink together?" Tian Wuling said.
"Well, then, out of my trust in you, I'll take a sip first. What do you think?"
Tian Wuling watched Jue's actions, and then nodded.
Jue smiled slightly, and under the worried eyes of Ouyang Xun and Ke En, Jue drank the wine.
But the moment Jue drank the wine, he was stunned - the wine was ......
Jue's afterglow saw Cohen and Ouyang Xun. He suddenly remembered something that had happened a long time ago, thousands of years ago. So Jue made a decision.
"It's good wine, please. Jue handed the rest of the wine to Tian Wuling.
Tian Wuling was very satisfied, and then turned out the wine glass and drank the rest of the wine.
The people around them applauded happily when they saw it, and they were glad that the friendship between the aristocratic faction and the pro-king faction had been established.
But the next moment, Jue and Tian Wuling lost control of their bodies at the same time and fell to the ground.
"Quick, get the doctor!" shouted the people around him.
Perhaps not expecting this situation, both Cohen and Ouyang Xun felt panicked. Cohen even grabbed the collar of the Beyonder who rushed to investigate, shouting that the murderer must be caught.
"Lord Jue! Lord Jue!" Ouyang Xun patted Jue's face and tried to wake him up, but Jue didn't react at all.
Someone from the Tian family also came to inspect Tian Wuling, and Tian Yangcheng also hurried over to check.
Jue and Tian Wuling did not react to the outside world.
"Quick! Quickly put the two upside down!" Tian Yangcheng shouted.
The transcendents Li Kejiang Jue and Tian Yangcheng who were next to them were hung up.
As soon as they were hung up, Jue and Tian Wuling spit out the wine they had just drunk.
"Forehead......" Jue reacted first.
Jue curled up and struggled in pain on the ground, even coughing up blood.
"Jue!" Cohen immediately went up to Fu Jue when he saw it.
Jue's face was pale, and he looked like a dead man even more than before.
Jue turned over weakly, and then stopped moving.
"Quick, bring Lord Jue back for treatment!" Cohen shouted.
At this time, the doctor came, he kept checking Tian Wuling, and then tried to save Tian Wuling by various methods.
"What's the use?!What else can save Tian Wuling?!" Tian Yangcheng shouted.
Seeing this scene, several transcendents came out to use spells on Tian Wuling to try to save Tian Wuling, but there was no way to stop him.
"I've never seen this poison before! I've never seen it!" said the doctor, horrified.
At the same time, he used a thin needle to pick open Tian Wuling's skin, and it was the blood that flowed out from under his skin.
In an instant, people were stunned - the blood under Tian Wuling's skin had turned into the kind of blood that seemed to be mixed with ink. At the same time, the tissues of the body infected by the black fluid have completely ulcerated away.
"Someone!" Tian Yangcheng called the people around him, "Send someone to see if the blood on Jue's body is also like this?!"
The person who received the order immediately understood what Tian Yangcheng meant, so he immediately ran to find Jue.
Just seconds after the attendant left, Tian Wuling died.
Tian Yangcheng looked at his eldest son who was so life-threatening.
At this time, the man who had been sent over returned.
"My lord, that kind of situation has also occurred in Lord Jue. β
"How is Jue now?" Tian Yangcheng asked.
"The situation is still very bad, and now Lord Jue is still not out of danger, and the toxins in his body have begun to spread, if the situation is worse......"
"Why didn't Jue die?!" Tian Yangcheng asked.
"According to intelligence...... Lord Jue used to be a military attache in the Dragon Clan, so with his physique, he should be able to hold out for a while, but ......"
"Do everything you can to save Jue! He is an official of the Dragon Clan! He must not be allowed to die now!" Tian Yangcheng ordered loudly.
"Yes!" said the man who received the order, and left.
Jue is an official of the Dragon Clan, and with the Dragon Clan's combat power, it is easy for them to destroy the Southern Kingdom. If Jue is dead, then it will be Ban Nanguo who will be guilty.
Tian Yangcheng looked around, then walked straight to the person in charge of the drink, grabbed him and asked, "Is it your ghost?!"
The people in charge of the drinks didn't seem to expect such a situation, and they were all stupid when Tian Yangcheng questioned them. After a long time, he said, "No! It's not me!" And Lord Tian Wuling said at the beginning of the banquet that today's food should not be touched in any way! He very much hoped that today would be the beginning of a new era. β
Tian Yangcheng looked at the people around him, and those in charge of catering all nodded to prove that Tian Wuling had indeed said such a thing.
"My lord, I have just checked, and there is no poison in the wine glass, the source of the wine, or the kitchen, so we suspect that this incident may have been a bizarre accident. A Beyonder said.
"Bizarre accident!!How do you make me believe it was an accident?!" Tian Yangcheng shouted.
"But even the spells have been confirmed, and there is no element of using spells to interfere with the wine. β
Tian Yangcheng sighed, and then said in a low voice, "Let me be quiet...... After speaking, he turned around and left.
In Jue's recuperating room, Jue opened his eyes. is completely different from the previous Jue who was about to be poisoned, at least the current Jue just looks like a dead man.
Jue Chang sighed, and then whispered, "Tian Wuling...... I'm sorry, it's not that you deserve to die, it's that you have to die......"
Jue knew that there was no poison in the wine the moment he drank it. But this raises a new question for Jue -- what is the attitude of the Tian family? If the Tian family is planning to stop here, then Jue has no reason to kill Tian Wuling, but what if this is just a simple greeting? What if the Tian family does not have the idea of giving up? Then wouldn't Jue suffer a loss?
The opportunity is no more, so Jue must seize it!
With the help of "self-feeding" to obtain poisonous fangs during the Chinese New Year, Jue injected the wine glass with the venom he secreted. Jue knew very well that such a venom would not be able to resist even the upper royal raceβthis was the most poisonous poison in the world!
Politics is like that, it's nothing more than life and death...... So here's ...... It's time to think about what's next......
The education of the Tian family is very good, and this is what Cohen has paid for, so Jue is not worried that the second son of the Tian family will be a waste.
Jue looked out the window, at the people scattered in the courtyard and at Tian Yangcheng, who was left alone.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed from the corner of Jue's field of vision.
What is it?!
Jue stared at the light point in the distance, the light point flickered back and forth, sometimes long, sometimes short, although it seemed to have no regularity, but the light flickered very planned, like a code.
Short, long, short, short, short, long, short, short, short, short, long, short, long, short, long, short, ......short,
