Chapter 44: The Prologue of the Banquet

The "......" were all silent for three seconds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Just when the officer no longer had any hope and was about to make a formal explanation, a voice sounded weakly among the black-pressed soldiers: "Does it mean that in a few days, the tears of the mermaid princess will be escorted to the palace, and on the day of the banquet, they will be placed in the center of the banquet hall as a holy relic?"

The officer quickly found the soldier who had just spoken, and his eyes instantly burst into dazzling light!

That's the light of hope, the light of hope!!

The excitement in the officer's heart!!

Finally someone isn't that stupid!!!

"Therefore, there must be a lot of people watching the tears of the merman princess recently, and we must guard it strictly until someone is sent from the palace to fetch it. Do you hear that?!" After a long time, the officer retracted his gaze and said solemnly to the soldiers.

"Yes!" replied in quick unison.

The officer nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the "only soldier who was not stupid", and then left.

However, they didn't realize that the "confidential" incident they had just mentioned had fallen into the ears of a black-bellied man who had been eavesdropping for a long time!

That's right, this black-bellied man is our heroic and handsome Lord Shenjun, Xiao Yang!

I saw Xiao Yang hooking his lips slightly.

Looks like he arrived just in time, didn't he?

Actually heard such a big "shocking secret"?

His hands tightened at either side of his body.

It's better to start from the palace than from the depths of this impermeable seabed.

However, the idea of intercepting the merman's tears on the road only appeared in Xiao Yang's mind for a moment, and he was extinguished.

Why?

Because you don't have to think about it to know that the number of troops escorting mermaid tears on the road will definitely not be small.

Besides, he didn't ignore that the royal family sent someone to pick it up!

Since he is a person sent by the royal family, if he is not mistaken, he is basically a first-class master, anyway, it is absolutely impossible to have the participation of idle people!

So, what he has to do now is to dress up himself perfectly!

Xiao Yang turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Seven days is not a long time, but for Xiao Yang, this is an opportunity to prepare.

Xiao Yang hid in a remote corner, silently reciting three numbers in his heart.

One, two, three......

I saw that his body began to be surrounded by a faint orange light, and his face, his appearance, and his form also changed.

He changed from a human form to a mermaid form!

Although his face has completely changed, it still can't cover the aura of a superior who is gorgeous and demonic on Xiao Yang's body.

As far as he knew, this palace feast would not only invite all the girls in the capital, but also young people from all over the country.

It can be said that the banquet is not only for the mermaid prince, but also to provide a spacious and gorgeous place for men and women of appropriate age to go on a blind date.

Then, he Xiao Yang can also pretend to be a mermaid and enter the palace to attend the banquet. In this way, the chance of obtaining mermaid tears will be greatly increased.

As for the future...... Just wait for the merman royal family to calm down, and explain to them slowly.

What he has to do now is to find an inn, observe the movement, and make a plan.

However, as the officer said. While everyone was jubilantly preparing for the feast, the royal family had already sent most of the masters and elite soldiers inside and was heading towards the depths of the sea. Obviously, there is only one purpose, to move the mermaid tears back to the palace.

――――――――

Seven days is not fast, slow is not slow, but for Xiao Yang, it can be described as fleeting.

Today's evening is the feast of the merman dynasty, because it is a banquet that can be attended by the whole country, regardless of origin, so there is no invitation, which is also more conducive to Xiao Yang's actions.

At night, in the sky, there are a few stars dotted and twinkling, and the moonlight is unusually warm and soft.

There were countless pedestrians on the street, but all of them were heading to the palace to attend a banquet.

Xiao Yang also put away his serious expression, and a smile appeared on his face, looking like there was nothing wrong with it.

He quickly passed the curfew, went to the hall of the palace, and found a slightly remote place to sit down.

It's still early, and the banquet hasn't officially started, but there are countless sharks who have already arrived.

All the merman girls put on the most gorgeous dresses, with the sweetest and most touching smiles, and every gesture showed dignified elegance, in order to make the merman prince look at himself more, and even marry himself as the princess of the royal family.

Xiao Yang took in all of this, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

It wasn't that he thought this scene was ridiculous, but that he suddenly thought of his little apprentice.

If his little apprentice were here, he would definitely do something completely different from this group of merman girls, right?

"Knock...... Knock, knock......"

Although the hall was noisy, Xiao Yang still had insight into the abnormalities of the outside world with his keen sense of hearing.

If he's not mistaken...... This should be the footsteps of the Shark Royal Guard?

After all, not every unit, with a well-trained pace.

So...... Thinking of this, Xiao Yang slowly got up and squeezed towards the crowd in the center of the hall. His train of thought was not interrupted by the loud sound, on the contrary, his emotions were more stable, and his thoughts were extremely clear.

The Shark Royal Guard is the strongest army of the Shark Clan, and their usual task is to surround the entire Shark Palace and defend the safety of the royal family, so it is impossible for them to be easily dispatched because of a relatively grand banquet.

There was only one reason to get them out.

The tears of the merman princess! Xiao Yang's tears that he wanted to retrieve were being escorted by the royal guards!

It was at this moment that the crowd in the banquet hall slowly quieted down. As the Imperial Guard got closer and closer to the hall, they also sensed that they seemed to be moving in their direction with an army.

But they obviously didn't realize, why did that army come?

Could it be that something happened to the merman royal family?

Once this idea germinated, it could not be suppressed, and in just a few seconds, the atmosphere of panic in the shark crowd slowly spread. The original joyful atmosphere was replaced by fear, panic, and panic.

With a "click", the door of the hall was opened, and the faces of the Praetorian Guards were extremely serious.

There was a deathly silence all around, but it made people tremble physically and mentally.

Finally, someone boldly spoke, breaking the silence, and the tension in his voice could not be concealed, so that he stammered when he spoke: "Lord Commander, outside...... Outside is out of ...... What's going on...... Is it there?"

The leader of the Praetorian Guard glanced at the man faintly, and did not answer the man's question, but faced the people in the hall with great vigour, and shouted loudly:
