Having said that, Wu Zhengxiang's heart was still heavy, and he didn't like this feeling of being out of control. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that his subordinates don't do their best, it's not that there is a problem with his layout, but that the other party is really hiding too well. He even wondered if those unusual traces were deliberately exposed by the other party to attract them in the wrong direction.

If you don't know the enemy's purpose, you can find out one by one by pulling the net, and you can by no means figure it out in a short period of time. Such passivity and powerlessness, he can only defend and cannot attack, which makes him feel alarmed.

Today's celebration banquet, the people he cares about the most in his life are among them. Emperor Qinglong, eldest brother Wusheng, Xu Wanzhen, these three people, no matter who has an accident, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

In particular, he remembered that he went to report to Emperor Qinglong yesterday, and after clarifying the hidden danger, Emperor Qinglong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Wusheng is in the light, you are in the dark, there are two of you, what else do I have to worry about? ”

Emperor Qinglong's trust made his blood surge, and he said: "Swear to protect the monarch's father to the death." Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, he asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "Your Majesty, you handed over the palace defense to our two brothers, don't you think the martial arts family is too powerful?"

Emperor Qinglong laughed, looked at him and said, "In my life, the proudest thing is to know people, and I have never looked away. Since you have been used, doubt will not help. I have come to ask you, will you betray me?"

Wu Zhengxiang clenched his fists with a "snap", "Never!"

How could he betray Emperor Qinglong, not only because he was the emperor, but because Emperor Qinglong's personality charm made him admire and admire. Even if he betrayed the martial arts, he would never betray Emperor Qinglong, this was the object of his vow to be loyal to him forever, and it was his faith.

Retracting his thoughts, he looked at the three people waiting in front of him with a solemn face, and said: "According to the plan between you, you each go down and keep an eye on it! Especially the movements around the emperor, if necessary, there is no need to ask for instructions, cut first and then play!"

Shadow Wind, Shadow Thunder, and Shadow Rain responded and quietly retreated.

Looking at the empty hall, Wu Zhengxiang pondered for a moment.

It's so unusual that I was distracted just now. As a master who has opened up the second line of Ren Du, he has the keen intuition of a martial artist. He had a hunch that this celebration banquet would not be spent safely.

At this time, he had a kind of nervousness and excitement about meeting his opponent. This opponent, who was more clever than the King of Qianyang and Tong Huachi, hid himself in the darkness and peeped at him.

……

Due to the complex composition of the people who came to the banquet, this celebration banquet, Empress Cao was placed in the Jinhua Hall between the imperial city and the palace city.

In the center, it is the main seat where Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Qinglong, and Empress Cao are located. The lower part is divided into two and divided into two areas by a large screen, with men on the left and women on the right. They are seated in order according to the grade, and the higher the grade, the closer to the main position.

For the sake of safety, there is a distance of three feet between the main seat and the guest seat.

In this way, it not only takes into account the big problems of men and women, but also allows both men and women to have the honor to see Tianyan and feel the sincerity of the royal family.

The hour was still early, and everyone sat down one after another under the leadership of the palace maids.

Fortunately, people with grades are okay, although it is the first time to drink and feast in Jinhua Palace, but after all, they often enter the palace, and they only sit down after a little look.

Those who entered the palace for the first time looked nervous, excited, and restrained, but their eyes couldn't help but look around. For them, I'm afraid that there is only one chance to enter the palace in this life, and they must cherish it. Take a good look at every grass, tree, table and chair in this palace in your heart, so that you can go back and brag to your younger neighbors.

The palace guards with bright light armor are distributed around the hall, one person in three steps, and one post in five steps. Wu Sheng was hidden behind the bright yellow curtains, and his eyes swept over everyone like electricity.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. But after thinking about it, I filtered the guests who went to the banquet one by one in my mind, and I didn't find anything unusual.

Under the guidance of a round-faced palace maid, Xu Wanzhen sat next to Mrs. Zhuang, and according to their grades, the seats were in the front row of the women's seats.

Mr. Ning also sat down next to her, originally according to the grade, Mr. Ning did not have an order, and the position was in the back. But because of her relationship with Xu Wanzhen, she is also ranked first, which is also the thoughtfulness of Queen Cao.

This banquet was very different from what she had attended before. Because people come from different classes and dress differently, most of them are looking around curiously, and they seem to be very lively.

Since it is such a guest, it is natural that you cannot take ancient etiquette.

Long strips of tables are spliced together in the middle of the temple, facing the main seat. Although it is still one person, the distance between people is much closer, and each row can seat ten people, which is a full twelve rows.

Xu Wanzhen calculated roughly in her heart, there are more than 100 people on the female side alone, and there should be more on the male side. It seems that all the people who contributed to the epidemic were invited, which shows that the royal family is eager to reassure people.

Among the visitors, most of them have no official positions and ranks. At first, they were very reserved, occasionally daring to whisper a sentence or two.

Later, I saw that the palace maid standing on the side did not interfere, and slowly, I let go of my courage. These palace maids have been instructed by Queen Cao not to use the number of court etiquette to ask these people who will only enter the palace once in their lives. Let them be more relaxed and free.

Shadow Rain is mixed among the palace maids, and today she used makeup to hide her charm, and her face looked plain, only a pair of beautiful eyes with light flowing.

After everyone was seated, a melodious gong sounded. A group of female musicians under the Taichang Temple entered from the left door of the main hall, or holding the qin, or holding the flute, or holding the sheng, or carrying the drum in groups of three, all kinds of musical instruments are dizzying.

They have exquisite makeup, combing flying buns, and lifelike silk flowers under the buns.

The female musicians came to the large open space between the main seat and the guest seats, put down their instruments, and stood still. As one of the female musicians struck the drumsticks, the melodious guqin sound followed, and many musical instruments played one after another, joining the performance.

The drumsticks fell again, and a group of women in light blue costumes entered the door on the right, and they spun and entered the temple with light steps.

I saw that between the water sleeves flying, the slender waist was not full of hand, and the eyebrows were affectionate, just like a woman walking on the Lexi Plain outside the city, seeing her beloved lover, like joy, and like shyness, chasing and playing with this cheerful song.

Xu Wanzhen was concentrating on the singing, dancing and drum music, since she came to the Gaomang Dynasty, she had never enjoyed such a high-level performance. From the music, to the choreography, every detail is fascinating.
