Chapter 4: Mime

"The Great Prince has arrived!" As a guard outside the door sang loudly, the Great Prince Qi Zhao in a purple brocade robe slowly walked in. Behind him was a young man in a dark black robe, and two steps away, there were two palace attendants.

This dark black robe boy is extremely conspicuous, just because his skin is so white that there is no trace of blood, with the face of a dying person, his whole body is full of death, giving people an eerie feeling, which is very different from the big prince standing together with a transparent atmosphere.

Everyone present stood up and saluted the Great Prince: "See Your Highness." ”

The eldest prince was tall, with a pair of flying eyebrows and sideburns, and a high nose, he casually raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, and then led from the small servant to the first empty seat on the left side to sit down.

The eldest prince walked a few steps, and Yu Guang saw Luo Yuanzhi standing next to the white gauze screen of Hantang pear, and after a pause, he temporarily changed his direction and walked towards Luo Yuanzhi.

"Yuanzhi, please Your Highness. Luo Yuanzhi looked at the eldest prince who was walking slowly, bent down slightly, and bowed to him, although his posture was respectful, his expression was very casual, and even faintly with a little contempt.

Han Tang Li behind the screen also got up to salute with one of Luo Yuan, she was the same as Luo Yuanzhi's demeanor, and the pride in her eyes was even more undisguised.

The eldest prince didn't seem to care about the disrespect of the two of them to him, and he waved his hand to signal Luo Yuan's exemption: "The third prince of Luo is also here today." ”

Luo Yuanzhi smiled faintly: "Your Highness also knows one of the major habits of Yuanzhi's life, so he loves to appreciate beauty, where there is beauty, Yuanzhi will appear there." After speaking, he didn't forget to wink at Han Tangli amusedly.

The eldest prince nodded clearly: "Although this ghost clan is lowly and vulgar, there are ghosts and monsters with good looks, but they can barely afford the word 'beauty'." ”

Han Tangli on the side answered softly: "The third prince of Luo loves to appreciate beauty, but the little girl knows that His Royal Highness loves to be funny, but I don't know if today's banquet can afford the word 'fun'?"

The eldest prince laughed: "Then let's wait and see." ”

Luo Yuanzhi sent the back of the eldest prince away, and after saying goodbye to Han Tangli, he also returned to the second seat on his right side and sat down.

And the first seat sitting next to Luo Yuanzhi was the young man in dark black robe who followed the eldest prince when he entered the door.

This young man is the descendant of the Yin'an Sheng clan, the third son Sheng Shuiyu, the fourth oldest in the family, and his eldest sister Sheng Yanran is the eldest princess.

And the Yin'an Sheng clan ranks third in the book of 100 clans specially used to record the famous clan of Yin'an.

As soon as Luo Yuanzhi took his seat, Sheng Shuiyu stared at him directly, his pupils were as cold as poison, as if there was a snake hiding in it, which would come out at any time and devour his life alive.

Luo Yuanzhi naturally sensed this unfriendly gaze, but he still didn't move, and nodded slightly at Sheng Shuiyu, and then sat up straight and stopped looking at him.

The corners of Sheng Shuiyu's mouth hooked up a sneering smile of unknown meaning, and he also turned his head.

And not far from the hall, Ah Dao, who had just enjoyed the same treatment as a boogie, was wailing and leaning on a flower stand, rubbing his ass back and forth.

The moment Fang was flicked out by the two fingers of the noble son surnamed Luo, fortunately he was witty, and immediately cast a spell to make the apricot crumbs turn around and smash them on the soil of this flower platform to relieve the pain, but he never thought that he would let his ass almost be broken into four petals.

In the main hall, there was the sound of the small maid singing the beginning of the seedling selection meeting.

Ah Tao quickly got up from the ground, and after tracking down the ghost qi of several wild ghosts, he turned into a red light and flew towards the southwest.

In a small courtyard surrounded by walls on three sides, several wild ghosts wearing kudzu cloth and looking middle and upper were standing in several rows in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by several red-clothed ghost masters holding magic weapons to guard.

Ah Tao thought about the ghost seedlings selected by the nobles to become ghost servants today, thinking that they were these wild ghosts, but if she mixed in now, she would definitely be discovered by the ghost master.

Ah Tao thought for a moment, turned back into a ghost, and hid his body on a large green and dense locust tree blocking most of the wall, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.

Through the dense leaves, Ah Tao saw a small servant coming from a distance, bypassing a corridor and entering the small courtyard where the wild ghosts were.

The little servant said a few words to the ghost master standing by the door, and the ghost master nodded slightly, then waved his hand to the other ghost masters, and the ghost master ordered all the wild ghosts to line up in a long line, one by one, out of the courtyard in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the last few wild ghosts were about to walk out of the courtyard, and there was only one ghost deterrent left in the courtyard at the moment, Ah Tao immediately cast a spell to conjure up a few small stones and threw them towards the east side of the ghost deterrent master.

The pebble flew into an open door, smashing with a clattering sound. When the ghost master heard the noise, he immediately looked into the door alarmingly, and then walked briskly into the house to check.

The ghost master entered the house with his front feet, and the last wild ghost was about to step out of the courtyard......

Now is the time!

Ah Tao instantly turned into a red light, flew behind the last wild ghost, changed his body into the same garment as the wild ghost, and walked towards the main hall where the nobles were located behind the team of wild ghosts.

As soon as they arrived outside the main hall, a small servant had already come to inform the wild ghosts of some of the rules of the seedling selection meeting.

Ah Tao listened carefully and learned that the selection of ghost seedlings is divided into two steps, and the first step is to classify the functions of wild ghosts according to their spells and specialties.

The ghost attendant has various functions such as serving the bed, protecting the master, reading the host, and playing music.

Ah Tao thought about it, his mana is shallow, and he has no posture, and he doesn't know music, the only thing that is a little different from other ghost seedlings is that his spells are related to words.

If you don't ...... Let's choose to read.

I can't do without books, ink, etc., and my own spell cultivation is the art of controlling words, which is somewhat related.

Ah Tao made up his mind, so he received a sandalwood strip engraved with the word "waiting" at the little maid, and when he took it away, he bowed respectfully to the little maid like other wild ghosts.

The little guy paid special attention to Ah Dao's mediocre face, and a trace of suspicion flashed on his face.

Ah Tao looked at the short strip that still exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance in her hand, playing back and forth in her hand, and after a while, she sensed a faint ghost aura approaching her.

It's a low-level imp with mana about the same as himself.

Ah Tao turned around and saw a female ghost with a round and lovely appearance, black and round eyes staring at her curiously, her eyes were crystal clear, like a clear spring, it was easy for people to have a good impression, and she should be hundreds of years younger than herself.

It's rare to be born in a ghost with such an aura.

The female ghost pointed to the short strip in Ah Dao's hand, and asked curiously, "You also want to be a ghost attendant?" The voice was gentle and gentle, like the cry of a newborn young bird, which was very good.

Also?

Ah Tao swept the sandalwood strip in the female ghost's hand, and the word "waiter" was also engraved on it.

Ah Tao smiled and nodded.

The female ghost stared at Ah Dao's face for a while, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she said sincerely: "Your eyes are so beautiful, I have seen a ghost that is more beautiful than my eyes for the first time." ”

Ah Tao was a little embarrassed to be praised.

"What's your name?" asked Ah Tao and the female ghost in unison.

Both of them were stunned.

Just about to open his mouth again, he heard a little guy say in a loud voice: "Ah Dao, Ah Man!"

Ah Tao and the female ghost answered in unison again.

The two were stunned again, then looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

After Ah Tao and Ah Man were named, they followed the little guy through a few corners together and entered a side room, where there were already several other wild ghosts waiting.

The little guy swept over the wild ghosts one by one out of the corner of his eye, and said in a contemptuous and disdainful tone: "You guys are waiting here, give me some peace." ”

"Yes. The wild ghosts bowed and replied, and Ah Tao followed.

Less than an hour after the little girl went out for tea, there was a dull "click" sound on the other side of the wall on one side of the wing, and then the wall suddenly cracked a thin crack in the middle, and the gap widened wider and wider, and finally the wall was divided into two, moving evenly to the left and right sides respectively.

As the walls on both sides parted left and right, a soothing sound of music came clearly from outside.

On the other side of the wall, it turned out to be the main hall, and the people sitting in the main hall were the nobles that Ah Daofang had just seen.

The nobles are brightly dressed, and at this moment they are either leaning back or sitting upright, and they are staggering in the sound of music.

Xu In order to see the ghost seedlings clearly, the white gauze screen in front of the nobles has been removed in advance.

A wave of popularity that contained a powerful power of fear, and in an instant, several wild ghosts from the main hall rushed towards the wings. The wild ghosts consciously knelt on their knees and bowed prostrately, humbly and respectfully.

Ah Tao bowed with all the ghosts, but there were already stormy waves in his heart!

Even now, she could still feel that her body was not affected in the slightest by the terrifying power emanating from these nobles, but she was more shocked than ever.

The power of fear in the face of these nobles in Yin'an was stronger than she imagined, however, the sum of the fear of the nobles in this room was less than one-tenth of the noble man who met through a carriage curtain on a snowy night in Fog City!

Ah Dao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, but as soon as he saw it, his pupils instantly constricted.

At this moment, the wild ghosts around her fell to their knees, buried deep in the bones and blood of the ghosts, fearing the fate of human generations, making them tremble, awe-inspiring and reverent, humble and weak.

And those nobles, they were quietly looking at the group of wild ghosts prostrating on the ground in front of them, their eyes ......

Ah Tao secretly looked.

Those eyes......

There is indifference, pity, contempt, arrogance, disdain, impatience, disgust, and indifference......

There is no equal treatment......

His eyes were like looking at ants!

They are like animals to be sold and slaughtered in the human market, for these nobles to choose and play......

Ah Tao was frightened, this was Yin'an, she mustered up her strength, left Fog City, and came to seek the protection of Yin'an.

Before leaving, the warning of the ghost was still in her ears, and at this time she had no mind to think about the right or wrong decision she had painstakingly placed here.

If you have taken a step, you can't retreat, so you can take the next step!

I only hope that today I can find a master who can give me protection!

In the main hall, the eldest prince raised his hand and signaled the musician in the corner to stop playing.

The music fades to a halt.

The eldest prince looked at the several wild ghosts kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

The wild ghosts slowly got up, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the nobles.

The little guy who had just led the way stepped forward and bowed to the eldest prince, and said with a flattering face: "Your Highness, these are the wild ghosts who are good at reading, and the villain has begun." ”

The eldest prince nodded in agreement.

The little guy walked up to the wild ghosts, and shouted at them with disdainful eyes: "Raise your head for me, so that the nobles can see clearly!"

The faces of the wild ghosts were revealed in front of the nobles, who looked at them one by one with great interest, and finally, the eyes of all the nobles converged in one place.

An impatient snort sounded in the hall: "What's the matter, these cheap things with crooked melons and cracked dates are also mixed in it?" The young man in Tsing Yi, who was sitting in front of Hantang Pear, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Ah Dao, with a domineering expression.

This person is Han Tangli's compatriot brother Han Yunguo.

A thunder exploded in Ah Dao's brain!

The little guy trembled with fright, and immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "Han Gongzi is angry, and the villain will take it away!"

The little servant staggered to his feet and walked a few steps to Ah Dao, he was about to yell at Ah Dao, but he heard another voice from the nobleman's banquet.

"Wait!" is the noble son surnamed Luo who bounced himself out just now.

Ah Dao's heart was instantly raised again, and she didn't dare to move.

I saw Luo Yuanzhi get up from the collapse, slowly walked to Ah Dao, stared at her face carefully, and for a moment, his eyes were fixed on Ah Dao's eyes.

Luo Yuanzhi let out an exclamation: "The appearance is vulgar, but these eyes are ......" He stood up straight, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, it's a pity, a pair of wonderful eyes have the wrong face." ”

Ah Tao let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and then a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his mind.

In addition to his own spells related to words, his eyes are also born well, and now he has attracted the attention of this noble son, why not take this opportunity to let him accept himself!

Looking at the demeanor of this noble son surnamed Luo, although he bounced out like a boogie just now, he didn't look like a person who was wicked and harsh, and he might be able to get protection from him......

Ah Tao had such a plan in her heart, so she decided to recommend herself, but she was just about to speak, but she heard another male voice answering Luo Yuan's words from the banquet.

"This is not simple, if the third son of Luo falls in love with these eyes, he will dig them out. The eldest prince said with an indifferent face, "It just so happens that a new batch of high-grade glass bottles has been purchased in my house, which is suitable for holding this pair of eyeballs. ”

Ghosts are just lowly things for human beings, they are the same as animals, and the only difference between them and animals is that they also have the same consciousness as humans.

Gouging out eyes and cutting out tongues, a cruel thing that humans do to ghosts, is just an extremely common means of entertainment.

Therefore, as soon as the eldest prince said this, all the nobles did not feel surprised or inappropriate.

After the eldest prince said this, he had already signaled the little servant to gouge out Ah Dao's eyes.

Luo Yuanzhi's brows frowned slightly, and he still had a spring breeze smile on his face, and he stopped at the exit: "This move can't be done." ”

"Oh?" the eldest prince's eyes flickered.

Luo Yuan's way: "The lotus is admired by people only because it is born in the mud and is not stained, and the beautiful eyes are admired by people because they are born in the face to convey the spirit." If the lotus is raised in the Yao Pond and the beautiful eyes are in the glass, it is not enough to see the beauty, and it also loses the original elegance. ”

"Poof......" Sheng Shuiyu, who had been silent on the couch, suddenly let out an abrupt laugh, with a very obvious sarcasm in the laughter.

His eyes were cold and cold like a snake looking at Luo Yuanzhi, and he said slowly: "The third prince of Luo is so elegant, and he deserves to be the first person to appreciate beauty in Yin'an, but today this son wants to be a layman," he turned his head to look at Ah Tao as he spoke, and said softly and slowly, "Since the glass bottle in His Royal Highness's mansion is not wanted by the third prince of Luo, it is better to give it to me, as for this wild ghost who gave birth to a double beauty, I also want it!"
