Chapter 51
There is still a day left before the Wind Dragon Empire's Talent Selection Ranking Competition, and when the competition is approaching, the contestants who are only ten or so people left are not as nervous as before. I don't know whose intentions, in short, the final result is that eleven people will gather for the day, and before tomorrow's game, everyone will get along with friends and contact feelings.
said so, but in Tang Yan's opinion, it seems that the contestants are looking for an opportunity to find out each other's details before the game.
In the evening, when the sky was dark, Tang Yan and her brother came to the large private room on the second floor of Shiweitian with Lu Shu and Bailu, who were temporarily living in the Tang family, and the others had already arrived.
In the boxy and spacious room, the large round table that can bring the relationship closer was abandoned, and replaced with a long table for two people, five tables, one horizontal on the top, two on the left and right below, and the position of ten people, it was obvious that even the person who presided over this dinner did not count Tang Yan, the eleventh person, among them.
As a princess, Bing Xuan has a noble status, she sits in the center of the position, and there is a vacant seat next to her, of course, that is also the position of the fourth prince, Long Yufeng.
Below, Jin Xuanbao and the blond-haired and blue-eyed young man were at the same table, and the two young talents from the same country seemed to have known each other before.
Su Furui, Song Chengyu, and the two of them got closer at some point, and they were sitting at the same table, chatting with a smile on their faces.
Tang Yan, Tang Feng, Bai Lu, and Lu Shu, the four of them came together, and immediately made the lineup of eleven people only two people behind.
Princess Bingxuan was simply full of joy when she saw Tang Feng, maybe it was too boring to sit alone before, but now that she saw Tang Feng, she didn't have a princess's shelf, so she got up and flew directly in Tang Feng's direction.
"Brother Kaede~~~ You're finally here!"
As soon as the words fell, the innocent and lively girl had already come to Tang Feng, her big and bright eyes stared directly at Tang Feng's face, and the corner of her eyes skimmed over Tang Yan's arm holding Tang Feng, eager to follow her example and get closer to her brother Feng.
"Princess Bingxuan." Tang Feng grinned at Bingxuan very politely, this smile meant something else in Princess Bingxuan's eyes, and her happy expression made people can't bear to break her illusions.
Tang Yan coughed lightly, "Brother, where are we sitting?" ”
Even if the host of this banquet didn't leave a place for her, she wouldn't have no place to sit, and one of the top ten, the killer boy Xiong, wouldn't appear at this banquet today, so ten seats, ten people, can be regarded as complete.
Lu Shu didn't know when he had slipped to Su Furui, one of the three beauties of the Wind Dragon, even though the beauty already had Chengyu Gongzi with him, he still cheekily invited, "Miss Fuhui, can you be at the same table with me?" ”
Su Furui looked up at Lu Qi and smiled slightly, "Of course, just say it, she got up directly and left Song Chengyu behind." ”
At this time, Tang Feng also pulled his sister to sit down, and Princess Bingxuan had to return to her seat in a huff.
The egret helplessly glanced at the only remaining position next to Princess Bingxuan, beside Song Chengyu, she had no choice but to sigh and sit side by side with Song Chengyu.
Eleven people reached nine, and the only ones left were the killer boy who couldn't be there, and Long Yufeng, the fourth prince of the Wind Dragon Empire.
People are in the future, the important thing is that Long Yufeng has not yet arrived, there are no dishes, wine and meat on the table, the atmosphere is somewhat awkward, there is only one plate of fruit on the long table in front of Tang Yan, it is better than nothing, she and her brother kill time and eat fruit.
Before the two sweet and sour round grapes were eaten, the most important person at today's banquet arrived late. Long Yufeng was dressed in a light blue robe, the belt of gold embroidery thread exposed his narrow waist, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and dark black boots on his feet.
"You've been waiting for a long time." He said aloud, his voice was slightly low, and everyone looked up, and in their sight, the grim-faced man's hair stood up high, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his thin pink lips were slightly pursed into a line, and it could be seen that he didn't care about this temporary banquet invitation, but it was not easy to come to participate.
Nine of the ten seats are full, and there are still vacant seats next to Princess Bingxuan, Bingxuan saw Long Yufeng's gaze falling on her, and shrunk her neck in horror, she has been afraid of this 'little imperial uncle' since she was a child.
Long Yufeng walked to the top in a few steps and sat down steadily, at this time, the waiters outside the door also got the news, and one by one the delicacies began to be served to the house, and the plates were served.
When all the dishes were served, the door was closed from the outside, and the room was still quiet.
At the beginning, there were some scenes of exchange that were completely muted after Long Yufeng's arrival, and among most of the ten people who didn't know each other well, there was really nothing to talk about.
Gradually, the eyes flickered and found the person who should be watching, Tang Yan just lowered her head and ate two bites, she felt a beam of hot gaze falling on her, as soon as she raised her head, she looked around, except for Princess Bingxuan, who was staring intently at her brother, everyone else's eyes fell on herself.
"What do you see me doing?" has her brother to advertise, and her younger sister can also be straightforward, have something to say, and choke everyone out of their mouths without knowing how to speak.
Su Furui smiled slightly, and said in a voice, "Sister Tang Yan is really innocent and cute. ”
As soon as Tang Feng heard that someone was praising his sister, he immediately raised his head from burying his head in the big food, and didn't look at his sister, he directly looked at the person who wanted to speak, and responded decisively, "Of course, my sister has been cute since she was a child, and now she is growing up and becoming more and more beautiful." ”
While boasting, he looked at Song Chengyu with a hint, this gentle and jade son is really suitable to be his brother-in-law in the future.
Tang Yan looked at her brother with a faint smile, as if she agreed with what her brother said, the self-confidence of these two brothers and sisters is really disagreeable.
This scene seems to be a dramatic 'performance' that makes Long Yufeng, who has always had a cold temperament, playfully hook the corners of his mouth, he usually has a cold face and doesn't smile, even if he doesn't smile, this smile frightened Princess Bingxuan beside him, and in addition to being surprised, he carefully shrunk his neck, trying to minimize his sense of existence.
Long Yufeng raised his hand and raised his glass, facing Tang Yan, who had always cherished words like gold, and he actually took the initiative to speak, "I wish Miss Tang Yan can clear all obstacles tomorrow and rush to the end." ”
Tang Yan's eyes flashed, and she also looked at him, and replied calmly, "What if the first one to face is you?" ”
There are not many people who dare to talk to Long Yufeng like this, but Long Yufeng is not angry, his face is as usual, "I hope Miss Tang Yan will have good luck tomorrow and will not be the first to meet me." ”
Everyone present heard what he meant, and when he met Long Yufeng, then Miss Tang's good luck in the competition would come to an end, because there was only one result in fighting with the four princes, and she lost very badly.
Tang Yan smiled slightly, "I hope it will be as you wish, but I really hope to be able to compete with you, and it should be very interesting to be your opponent." She had something to say, secretly mentioning that Long Yufeng was killed by herself back then, and easily put him down, and even let this talented fourth prince sleep in the garden of the General's Mansion in the middle of the night.
The seemingly relaxed conversation between the two, every sentence implied a rivalry, Long Yufeng looked at Tang Yan's eyes and shook his head gently, "As long as Miss Tang Yan's 'good luck' continues to the end, I think I will be happy to be your opponent." ”
He was telling Tang Yan that now he was fearless of her methods, and he wanted to fight him, just come. As long as she passes the test, defeat the minds of the others present.
He wasn't worried that she would lose halfway, what he was worried about was that she didn't have the mind to win other people.
Tang Yan understood the meaning, and outsiders heard it like Long Yufeng's ridicule of Miss Tang.
But it's true, she was able to become the eleventh person in the Wind Dragon Genius Selection Competition, it was indeed by luck, if it wasn't for the promotion of Wuzun's seniors, if it wasn't for Princess Bingxin's sudden discomfort, how could she have come to this point?!
But then the good luck is coming to an end, because everyone present will face the opponent in peak condition when they participate in the ranking match, it is conceivable that Tang Yan will obviously be quickly brushed down in the first level of the game, and now it is not a question of who her opponent is, but who is her opponent, who can easily win a game.
Tang Yan raised her glass and gestured in the direction of Long Yufeng, with a polite smile on her face, "It's not difficult to become my opponent, even if there is no me, and my brother, the fourth prince should not underestimate our Tang family." ”
still has something to say, chatting and laughing with Long Yufeng, while not sure if he wants to make a move, he uses his brother as a shield to tell him that the surname Tang should not be underestimated.
The two tacitly understood each other's meanings in each other's eyes, raised their glasses together, and drank the special shochu that food is the sky.
The spicy wine stimulated Tang Yan's taste buds that she hadn't touched for a long time, she didn't remember how many years she hadn't touched such a thing, but now she tasted it, but it aroused her desire to drink, and she remembered that she used to lock herself in her room and get drunk after many tasks, because only in this way could she feel that she had once again taken her life from the hands of death.
Lifting the wine jug and filling the glass in front of him, Tang Yan raised his head, looked at Long Yufeng's eyes, and raised his glass, "Speaking of the fourth prince, you and I are also old acquaintances, the past is over, I salute you, if I have any sins in the past, the fourth prince, please forgive me." ”
Tang Yan drank it all alone, but what she said was that she threw Long Yufeng in the garden at the beginning, and this glass of wine should be atonement.
Long Yufeng suddenly had an unnatural expression on his face, although eight years had passed, but that kind of embarrassing thing he would never encounter again in his life, until now, he still remembered it deeply, and he was amazed by the needle of a five-year-old girl.
He didn't say a word, drank another glass of wine with Tang Yan, put down the empty glass and looked at the past, only to find that the girl had filled his wine glass again.
She's ...... Addicted to drinking?
