Chapter 182: The Banquet Begins?

August 16 of the 10th year of Shenwu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Morning.

Lu Wuqin and the other four escorts who had stayed at home since they came to Nabin Mansion opened their eyes at the same time, and looked at the eastern horizon together, their expressions showing a touch of solemnity.

Either meditating or lying on the bed with their eyes closed, they changed their clothes naturally and quickly like fallen leaves, and then left Nabin Mansion in unison, the guards of Nabin Mansion did not prevent them from leaving, and the guards on the corner tower were also silent, as if they were sleepless, recording the time of their departure on paper, and then as if in a bamboo tube.

……

The disciples of the five major sects entered Hanyi City, and the news that they were going to hold a banquet in Guihe Garden tonight spread throughout half of the city.

The troops of the Inspection Division began to deploy around Guihe Garden at noon, and the entire garden and streets were cordoned off, and strict guards were stationed, and they were not allowed to pass through unless necessary. Guihe Garden, which covers an area of about fifty or sixty acres, pushed off a day's guests more than ten days ago just to prepare for tonight's banquet, and even if it had made a certain degree of preparation before, it was still very busy today. The handymen in Guihe Garden were busy all day with lights, decorated potted plants and the positions of guests, and the kitchen was also busy with stoves. The troupe that was going to perform tonight was rehearsing the show in the garden over and over again. The housekeeper of Guiheyuan was sweating profusely and pointing everywhere in the garden, so busy that he didn't even take a bite of lunch. No one dared to slack off, and the entire Guihe Garden seemed like a carriage that was constantly whipped and never stopped. It was so busy and nervous that it was not only the first of the five major sects who came tonight, but also the powerful ministers of all walks of life in Hanyi City, and this winery did not have the courage to dissatisfy the court officials.

In Hanyi City outside Guihe Garden, many people in Hanyi City have already begun to talk about tonight's banquet. The first of the five major sects will arouse a lot of attention every year when they enter Hanyi City, because almost every Jia Yi has become a famous powerhouse after decades or even more than ten years, so he is full of gimmicks when he is still a teenager. Especially this year, there is a domineering Jinmeng boy who defeated the Jinmeng National Teacher Xie Jiahao after inflicting witchcraft, and faced the appearance of the Nine Swords Gate Double List A who asked the Supervision Department to remove the officials of the Supervision Department, which raised the attention to an unimaginable height, and this teenager himself won most of this attention, even far exceeding the limelight of Emperor Tongtian's only son.

What is unique this year is that the Wu Dynasty stipulates that non-ministers and nobles also have the opportunity to enter the garden to participate in the so-called five talents to welcome the feast, but there are only 100 places, and their household registration documents need to be issued. Some people are just for the excitement, some people want to appreciate the demeanor of the five talents, some people want to lead the majesty of the major ministers and chaebol families, in short, the people who went to participate in the selection for various reasons almost reached thousands of people, and the entire Jiaxing building was overcrowded, and there was even a long queue on the street.

The selection took more than an hour, and half of the people did not join the selection, and the selection was over, and half of the people who were selected were book writers, storytellers, and half of them were women who could speak well and children who were unscrupulous. It seems that all preparations are for the promotion of things in the future.

In the midst of all the attention, time passed little by little.

Liu Yan kept sorting out his dark green clan robe in front of the bronze mirror in the room, and a claw pattern on the robe showed his identity in Wanyin Valley all the time, even if he combed his hair bun neatly, he still kept sorting out his hair bun repeatedly, worried that any detail omission would have a bad impact on his identity as a Jiayi in Wanyin Valley.

The maid helped tie the belt over and over again, but he was still not satisfied with the tightness he wanted, and always felt that it was too loose or too tight, and it was not suitable.

As soon as I got my belt right, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a household officer.

In Liu Yan's astonishment, the household official bowed down and said, "Is it Liu Mu Liu Shaoxia of Wanyin Valley?"

Such groveling is undoubtedly very rewarding, Liu Yan's back couldn't help but straighten, nodded and said solemnly: "It's exactly below." ”

The official glanced at him at this time, and continued to bow down and said, "Liu Shaoxia, the carriage has been prepared, and now you can set off." ”

"Now?" Liu Yan looked up at the sky. It's not too late now, and it's almost an hour away from the unitary hour I said yesterday.

"Shaoxia is like this, because there will be a lot of other arrangements over there, so Shaoxia needs to be there in advance. ”

Liu Yan didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "I'll go and talk to my master." ”

"The Lord of the Valley is not here. ”

Liu Yan had just turned around when the official added.

"What?" Liu Yan turned to look at him. In the morning, he went to knock on the door, thinking that his master was cultivating and did not bother, but he did not expect that this official would give him such an answer.

The official said: "The Lord of the Wang Valley and the escorts of the other four major sects have been greeted to the Prime Minister's Mansion at noon, the Lord of the Wang Valley should have explained to the young man yesterday, right?"

Liu Yan glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Why would my master leave without telling me?"

"I guess I was in a hurry and forgot about it. ”

Liu Yan shook his head coldly and said, "It's impossible for my master to forget this kind of thing. After saying that, he ignored the servant's soft call and walked towards his master's residence.

This Nabin Mansion is extremely large, but the neighboring places have walked a full forty or fifty steps.

"Master?" there was no sound in the room after knocking on the door.

The official rushed behind him and said to him again: "The villain has already said that the lord of the valley has gone out. ”

Liu frowned slightly, and said, "It's impossible for my master to leave without an explanation." Then he knocked on the door again.

The official sighed and said, "Why doesn't the young man want to believe the villain? The villain saw it with his own eyes in the morning, and the king valley lord was taken away. ”

"Master, I am offended. Liu Yan frowned, and slammed the door open.

The room was really empty, but the salute of the Lord of Wang Gu was still on the table, and the cup of tea he drank when Liu Mu came to serve tea before the break last night was still in its place.

Could it be that Master really left without saying a word because he was in a hurry?

The official stood at the door and said in a low voice: "The villain understands that the young man and the valley lord came here alone, and there are many feelings of insecurity if they are not their own land, but the king valley lord is one of the strongest in the world, and Hanyi City is the most strict city in the world, how could something happen to the king valley lord." And where does the villain have to lie to you. ”

Liu Yan turned his head to look at him. The official looked down at the ground.

No matter what the relationship between the court and the sect is, the news that he and his master came to Hanyi City is known to everyone, even if the Wu Dynasty is eager to eat the other four major sects, it is impossible to be stupid enough to do it to himself and his master in this place at this time, and to let the other four major sects belong by force, it should be the most unwilling thing for the Wu Dynasty to do, and the Wu Dynasty does not have the absolute courage to offend the four major sects that have been floating for thousands of years. Thinking of this, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Asked, "Did you really see my master leave in the morning?" ”

"It's true. The official bowed.

Liu Yan exhaled and said, "Maybe the master has indeed forgotten something urgent." ”

"Young man, let's hurry up, the hour is almost out of time. ”

Liu Yan no longer procrastinated, nodded and followed the official out of Nabin Mansion. There is a carriage exclusive to the court parked at the entrance of Nabin Mansion, and the Dawu flag on the carriage cover and the word "Wu" on the outer wall of the carriage make this carriage look particularly tall and majestic.

Liu Yan looked around and wondered, "Why is there only one carriage?"

The official bowed down and said, "Because he and the four of them set out from a different time and place. ”

"Why do you do that? I ate with them at noon. Liu Yan asked.

"This is the arrangement of the adults above, and it is to cater to the etiquette of the banquet. ”

"Banquet etiquette?"

"Well, some of the arrangements for the banquet are not convenient for the five of them to appear at the same time. ”

Liu's frowning brows gradually opened, and he asked in a low voice, "I'm the first?"

"Hmm. "The official bows," the first. ”

Liu Yan laughed and said, "Is it the first one that symbolizes my strongest and different?"

The official nodded and said, "Presumably so." ”

Liu Yan smiled slightly proudly, and then got into the carriage, and his mood quickly became happy. The official drove the horse, and the carriage quickly drove away from the forbidden area of Nabin Province, and after a cup of tea, he embarked on the road called Lotte Road that must be passed to Guihe Building, which is also the only way to officially enter the downtown area.

The streets are bustling with people, drinking herbal tea and playing dice in the herbal tea shops on the streets. It seems that this is a street for fun, and the two-mile-long street is full of people having fun, some people are eating snacks from all over Zhongzhou, and some people are playing and chatting. People always like to talk about lively things, so most of the topics they talk about are about tonight's banquet.

"The five major sects are the five strongest cultivation places in Zhongzhou, and everyone in the world is eager to enter. ”

"I'm afraid that everyone in the heavens hopes to be able to enter the five major sects one day. ”

"The two thousand geniuses from all over Zhongzhou came to participate in the big test, and the final one hundred were selected, and the one at the top of the list is undoubtedly the most remarkable cultivator in the world, destined to stand in the highest position in the world!"

These voices drifted into the carriage and then into Liu Yan's ears, Liu Yan looked very proud and proud, simply opened the window, and listened quietly.

Perhaps because there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, or because they were accustomed to seeing the carriage of the Wu Dynasty, most people's eyes on the carriage would be withdrawn after a few breaths, and they would be immersed in the original chat, and the carriage of the court did not interrupt these conversations, so that most of the conversations flowed smoothly into the carriage.

"These five talents are the five strongest cultivators in the world, but you say, which of the five is the strongest?"

An unusually loud voice in front of him came into his ears, and Liu Yan suddenly became interested.

"It's Liu Yan of Wanyin Valley. Hearing this, Liu Yan immediately laughed, thinking that he must see the appearance of the person who said this clearly, and come down to reward him.

"Where is he. ”

"Who's that?"

"Then Liu Yan is something, compared to Gu Dong, it is ten streets behind! How could the Ten Thousand Yin Immortal Palm of Wanyin Valley be the opponent of the Heavenly Annihilation Fist. ”

Liu Yan's brows tightened, and Gu Dong's humble appearance appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.

"No, no, it's not Gu Dong. ”

"Who's that?" someone asked.

"Of course it's Jingyang of the Nine Swords Gate!"

"Yes, that's right! Jingyang!"

"Those sect No. 1 are all 108,000 miles behind Jingyang! Although Liu Mu is good, does he dare to fight the black-armored young man who reached the Yuan Master Realm after the witchcraft is exerted? Don't dare! Does he dare to argue with the Supervision Division? Don't dare! So these people are more than a little worse than Jingyang!"

"Yes, that's right!"

The echoing voice was particularly loud, like thunder rolling through the street, and also rolling through Liu Yan's heart.

Liu Yan's eyebrows were tight, like two guillotine knives.

The two-mile-long street, similar voices are endless, and there are even Jingyang who once said that the top 100 Jiajia in Wanyin Valley are just rabble, and the sect master of Wanyin Valley is just a rumor that he is a dwarf, and the rumors are low-level and boring, but rumors can only stop when people are reasonable, and they are difficult to stop when people are not rational.

Liu Yan lowered the curtains, his fists clenched tightly together, and a majestic anger exploded in his heart like a blooming spark.

"What a Nine Swords Sect Armor. ”

There are many more streets, and there are many more such sounds.

The carriage passed through the streets, and the officials who drove the car showed a hint of sarcasm at the corners of their mouths.
