Chapter 23: Liu Qingyun

Marshal's Mansion Banquet Hall.

"It's finally time to eat, I didn't expect the general appointment ceremony to be so cumbersome, I was going to fall asleep during the whole process, I think the third brother seems to be falling asleep too?" Chu Xian'er said mischievously.

Dongfang Yu and his party, who had just participated in the appointment ceremony of General Wu Yunxuan, were sitting at the designated position in the banquet hall waiting for the start of Wei Lanqing's birthday banquet, chatting casually.

Chu Xian'er: "Senior Li Tie, why hasn't Marshal Wei come yet?"

Li Tie lived in the Yunshui City General's Mansion for a period of time, and was more familiar with several people, so he naturally sat with a few people.

Li Tie: "After the marshal finished handling the military affairs, he personally went to the other courtyard to greet the second prince, the third prince, the seventh prince and Princess Xuerou, several princes and princesses had come to the marshal's mansion two days ago, the marshal was busy with military affairs, and he had no time to see each other. ”

Li Tie said euphemistically, everyone knows that several princes came to woo Wei Lanqing to join their camp, Wei Lanqing had no intention of participating in the battle between several princes, and didn't want to offend anyone, so he simply didn't see anyone, and ended up with a clean ear.

While chatting, the noisy banquet hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone got up and looked towards the door, it was Wei Lanqing who slowly walked towards the main seat with a few princes and princesses.

"Is that Princess Cheryl? so beautiful!"

There was a brief silence, and the banquet hall was in an uproar again, and all eyes in the banquet hall were attracted by Princess Cheryl.

Dongfang Yu raised his eyes and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, holding a little boy about ten years old in her hand, with elegant steps, slowly walking towards everyone, it was the princess Yun Xuerou and the seventh prince Yun Jie.

I have to say that this princess is really not ordinarily beautiful, it can really be said that she uses ice as her bones, snow as her flesh, stars as her eyes, and her moon as her clothes, which complements Yun Xuerou's name.

Wei Lanqing led everyone to the main seat, and after a few simple words, he announced that the birthday banquet had begun, obviously not very interested.

"Senior, why does the marshal look unhappy?" Chu Xian'er asked curiously.

Li Tie sighed: "The situation of Wei Hu Gongzi has been getting worse and worse recently, the marshal has no intention of holding a birthday banquet, but the fiftieth birthday is not held and the etiquette is not in line, and the five-year military competition conference is held this year, so the marshal reluctantly held such a simple birthday banquet, the marshal is concerned about the safety of Wei Hu Gongzi, where will he be happy." ”

Most of the people who participated in the birthday banquet were born in martial arts, and they had a bold personality, and after a short period of restraint, they began to push the cup and change the lamp, and the atmosphere quickly became warm. It's just that at the main table, Wei Lanqing didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Soon after the banquet began, someone came in to report that a person named Liu Qingyun had asked to see the second prince.

The second prince confessed to Wei Lanqing, and hurriedly got up and walked outside the banquet hall, causing everyone to speculate sideways, what kind of divine could let the second prince greet him personally?

In a moment, a man about thirty years old in white clothes and a graceful demeanor came together with the second prince, and the second prince showed joy on his face, and directly led the young man in white to Wei Lanqing's side. He said: "Marshal Wei, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Qingyun, the only son of Master Liu Heliu, the first alchemist of the Qingfeng Continent, and Liu Gongzi is a close friend of Xia. ”

"Marshal Wei for the country and the people, Wei Hu Gongzi was seriously injured, has been unconscious for several years, in the next deep uneasy, half a year ago I was fortunate to get acquainted with Brother Liu, please Brother Liu asked Master Liu for a pill, Master Liu in recent years to practice Dan skills have improved, this pill can extend the life of Wei Hu Gongzi for another ten years, and Master Liu said that within ten years, there must be a way to make Wei Gongzi sober up, except for not being able to practice, the others are no different from ordinary people. ”

"Brother Liu just arrived today, and he is really happy. Today, I will take this pill as a birthday gift, wishing the marshal happiness as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan, and I also wish Master Liu to practice the elixir as soon as possible to help Wei Hu Gongzi get out of the sea of suffering. With that, the second prince handed Wei Lanqing a purple brocade box. ”

"Young Master Liu, is this matter serious? So, my son can still be saved?" Wei Lanqing stood up excitedly, and took the brocade box with trembling hands.

"When did my father ever lie about it? If Marshal Wei didn't believe it, he didn't have to accept this pill. Liu Qingyun said proudly.

"Yes, yes, yes!, Master Liu has always been full of words, he is in the heart of his beloved son, and he lost his words for a while, and I hope that Liu Gongzi will not be surprised. Hurry, hurry! Liu Gongzi, please take a seat, Liu Gongzi is very gracious, and the old man will be rewarded in the future." Wei Lanqing was very emotional, "Ha, ha, ha, the old man hasn't been so happy for a long time, and all the guests today must not get drunk and not return." Wei Lanqing smiled, swept away the gloom of the past, and said loudly.

The second prince and Liu Qingyun looked at each other and smiled, secretly happy in their hearts, although Wei Lanqing said that he wanted to repay Liu Gongzi's great kindness, but Liu Qingyun came because of me, which is equivalent to expressing his support for me in disguise, in the future, Wei Hu wants to come to his senses, Wei Lanqing must have something to ask me, and I will win over Liu Qingyun at any cost.

The third prince and the prince of Xuerou had a bitter face, it seemed that the second prince had won Wei Lanqing's favor this time, and the two of them had no hope of getting Wei Lanqing's support.

Wei Lanqing was in a good mood, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more enthusiastic, and generals from all walks of life went to the main seat to toast.

Wu Yunxuan also took Chu Tianxiang, Dongfang Yu and others to the main table.

Wu Yunxuan bowed to everyone at the main table and said, "Marshal Wei, on behalf of the Yunshui City General's Mansion, Wu Yunxuan wishes the marshal a happy birthday, and I also wish everyone here good health. ”

"Okay! Xiao Wu, now that you are about to be promoted to a general, I hope you will go further. Wei Lanqing said with a smile.

Wu Yunxuan and his entourage did it first, and everyone sitting at the main table also raised their wine glasses symbolically, after all, so many people came to toast, if they really wanted to drink a glass, I am afraid that they would have been drunk and unconscious.

Yun Xuerou smiled and nodded to Wu Yunxuan, on this occasion, it is not easy for him to talk to his cousin, Wu Yunxuan also nodded slightly.

Wu Yunxuan and his entourage finished toasting and were just about to turn around and leave.

"Oh, is this General Wu? I heard that General Wu has a subordinate whose combat power is amazing, and a Jindan cooperated with General Wu in the early stage to kill Ye Yuanba, who was at the peak of Jindan, what a hero!" Liu Qingyun suddenly said.

Wu Yunxuan hugged his fist towards Liu Qingyun and said politely: "Liu Gongzi is falsely praised, I really don't dare to take it, it was just a fluke between the two of us brothers at that time."

Liu Qingyun raised his eyebrows, and said in a strange manner: "False praise? I think so, I have never seen a person with such combat power, and now the people's hearts are not ancient, and most of them are people who deceive their names and steal the world, I am afraid that with the help of the hands of the family elders, they killed Ye Yuanba and wanted to put gold on their faces, right?"

Wei Lanqing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

This scene was seen by the second prince, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master Liu, Ye Yuanba was indeed killed by my third brother and me, Li Tie's predecessors can testify that my brothers are definitely not people who are greedy for fame. Wu Yunxuan's face was a little ugly, but he didn't get angry.

Liu Qingyun: "Yes? It just so happens that one of my retinues is also the peak cultivation of the Jindan period, how about a competition after the birthday banquet? Let's see if General Wu and your subordinates are really talented, or are they false? I am the person who can't see others cheating. ”

"It's... Today's marshal's birthday, I'm afraid it's not good?" Wu Yunxuan said embarrassedly.

Liu Qingyun said contemptuously: "Why? Don't you dare? It doesn't matter if you don't dare to compare, you just need General Wu to pull your subordinate to admit in public that you are a person who cheats and steals the world." ”

Provocation, naked provocation.

Dongfang Yu was furious, and he couldn't understand why the eldest brother was swallowing his anger in front of Liu Qingyun, looking at this trend, I am afraid that Wu Yunxuan will not agree to the competition, and Liu Qingyun will definitely not give up.

"Liu Gongzi, right? There is something unclear below, and I hope that Liu Gongzi will explain my doubts below. Dongfang Yu took a step forward and said seriously.

Liu Qingyun's eyebrows raised slightly: What's the matter?

Dongfang Yu: "Do we have the ability to kill the peak master of the Jindan period, and it is your bird business? You say that you will compete, why is your face so big?"

Liu Qingyun slapped the case: "Where did you come from, bastard! Do you know who I am? Dare to talk to me like this? I'm impatient, right?"

Dongfang Yu: "I know, isn't it just a clown who uses his father's fame to show off his might, and likes to watch the excitement? You come to fight with me! I promise that I will only knock out your two front teeth." ”

"You..". Liu Qingyun's face turned blue, from childhood to adulthood, no matter where he went, he would be surrounded by everyone like a starry moon, when he had been insulted like this, he immediately stepped out of his position and prepared to make a move on Dongfang Yu.

"Xiao Yu must not be rude. Wu Gang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Dongfang Yu behind him. stepped forward to apologize: "Fang Yu is young, his words are reckless, he contradicts Liu Gongzi, and he apologizes for him in Xia Wugang, and I hope that Liu Gongzi will not be surprised." ”

Wei Lanqing hurriedly got up and grabbed Liu Qingyun and said, "Young Master Liu is angry. Then he looked at Wu Yunxuan: "Xiao Wu, since Liu Gongzi is so elegant, he should give the old man a face, after the birthday banquet, there is just a competition between the various armies, how about a competition?"

Although Wei Lanqing also felt that Liu Qingyun was too rude, but the life of his precious son was in the hands of others, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and it was not a big deal to try it, with a few Yuanying masters watching, nothing would happen.

Wei Lanqing spoke, Wu Yunxuan couldn't refuse, and said: "The subordinates obey the order, and the subordinates will retire first." After speaking, Wu Yunxuan pulled Dongfang Yu and turned to leave.

"Hmph, I hope you're as good as your teeth. Liu Qingyun pointed to Dongfang Yu's departing back and said angrily. Now that Wu Yunxuan had agreed to the competition, Liu Qingyun did not embarrass Wu Yunxuan and his party anymore, and sat back.

Yun Xuerou looked at the background of Dongfang Yu's departure, and a trace of doubt rose in her heart, "How do you feel that this person is a little familiar?"
