Section 57: Dongting Banquet

As the main city of Xiangjun, Xiangcheng is located on the west bank of Dongting for 300 miles, and life is very lively, and with the election, Xiangcheng is becoming more and more prosperous and lively. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sun sets into the abyss of the west in the evening, but the prosperity of Xiangcheng does not stop in the night.

The cool autumn breeze comes from Dongting Lake, and the bustling streets continue to follow the hawkers home. The girl dressed up carefully in the room, waiting for the frustrated student to tell her the bitterness in her heart. Those long-famous old students, who love luxury, love to hang over in the hook bar late at night, and sleep with a delicate body.

Lu Qiqian sat in the living room, savoring the fresh fish from Dongting Lake, and the servants waited quietly by his side. Several cultivators in the courtyard knelt on the ground, shivering and cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, and secretly looked at the young man in the living room. As cultivators, they shouldn't be like this, but the pressure that Lu Qiqian in the living room gave him was like being covered by a big mountain that made it impossible to breathe.

Starting from Xinxian County and not going directly to Yingdu, Lu Qiqian stayed in Xiangcheng for several days, and after watching the county election in boredom, he has been waiting for news about Lu Qikun.

It just made Lu Qiqian extremely disappointed, since he had gained nothing in thirty days, endless anger was hidden under his expression. Gently put down the jade chopsticks, took the white cotton handed by the servant, and gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth.

"Mocking the wind, you have disappointed my son too much" Lu Qiqian looked at the courtyard, his eyes looked directly at the person who was the head, and the white cotton in his hand shattered in an instant.

Mocking Wind's body trembled continuously, cold sweat dripping from his forehead like rain, and he wanted to defend but couldn't speak. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Qiqian is as gentle as jade, but only those who really know Lu Qiqian understand how terrible and terrifying Lu Qiqian is.

At the age of sixteen, he is already at the peak of Dongxuan, and even half a step into the knowledge of fate, he is the body of a true dragon, even if it is an unintentional breath, it is difficult for people to bear it, let alone at this moment.

Lu Qiqian was about to continue talking, when suddenly a servant hurriedly came over, and was surprised to see everyone kneeling in the courtyard, and then bowed his head and saluted, "Young Master, the prince has not sent an invitation to invite you to the Dongting banquet."

The Dongting Banquet is a grand event in Xiangjun, which is held after the county election to obtain the recommended quota. At the same time, the Dongting banquet seems to be a celebration banquet for the victors, and there is also an opportunity for the purpose of truly making a name for themselves in Chu, hoping to be appreciated by the current rulers of Chu.

"Childe Wu" Lu Qikun raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously feeling strange about Childe Wu's invitation.

Gongzi Wu is the second son of the King of Chu, one in twenty this year, and he is the governor of all the political and military forces in Xiangjun. The Chu State Office stipulates that the sons who perform the coming-of-age ceremony will be assigned to the seven counties of Chu to serve as governors. It is also this regulation of the Chu State Office that has allowed the Chu State to have no mediocre kings since the time of King Zhuang.

Lu Qiqian suddenly thought of something, showed a mysterious smile, and then said to the people beside him, "Prepare the carriage"

Many servants immediately got busy, and a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the door of the mansion in a short time.

Lu Qikun looked at the people kneeling in the courtyard, and said in a cold voice, "Five days, if it can't be completed, you don't have to come back."

"Yes, yes," mocked wind kowtowed after hearing this.

Lu Qiqian left the mansion with a cold snort and rode the carriage towards the governor's mansion. Mocking Wind waited for the carriage to go away before daring to get up, and a hanging heart finally let go, at least he wouldn't die here today. Just thinking of Lu Qiqian's words just now, Mock Wind became frightened again, and hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to look for Lu Qikun.

"No matter what, you must find it," mocked wind said decisively.

................

The Governor's Mansion of Chu is a very special existence, and the governor of a county is in charge of all the administrative and military affairs in the county, which only the prince of Chu cannot serve. Xiangcheng, as the main city of Xiangjun, is naturally in it, and the majestic mansion in the southwest is the Governor's Palace, and it is also the place where the Dongting banquet is held tonight.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the gates of the Governor's Palace, and those who were invited came to take out their invitations and entered the Governor's Palace under the greeting of their servants. A horse-drawn carriage came slowly, looking simple and old. But many people were amazed when they saw the sign on the carriage, the impatiens that were blue in the dark night.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the governor's palace, and there was a servant who hurriedly informed Gongzi of nothing. When Lu Qiqian walked out of the carriage, Gongzi Wuya personally greeted him at the gate. Looking at the handsome young man led by the gate, Lu Qiqian knew in his heart that it was the current Xiangjun Governor Gongzi Wu.

"The true dragon of the Lu family is fortunate to come and make the Dongting banquet shine," Gongzi complimented without a smile, and at the same time looked at Lu Qikun in his heart.

Lu Qiqian saluted respectfully and said, "The Governor personally invited, how can Qiqian not come?"

"Haha, such an elegant gentleman, there is only the true dragon of the Lu family" Gongzi praised without a smile, extremely satisfied with Lu Qiqian in his heart, and unintentionally glanced at the servants beside him.

Gongzi's small movements naturally did not escape Lu Qiqian's eyes. Lu Qiqian didn't demolish the other party, and maintained etiquette with a smile.

This year's Dongting banquet was held in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Gongzi Wu and Lu Qiqian soon came to the backyard, the sight was overcrowded, the handsome people were sitting in their respective positions, the Qing clan was talking to each other, and a woman's voice came from the attic of the pavilion in the distance.

"Please take a seat" Gongzi said respectfully without a smile, leading Lu Qiqian to the first seat, where there were two empty seats.

It was Gongzi Wu's words that suddenly quieted down the noisy backyard, whether it was the people sitting in their respective positions, or the ladies in the pavilion in the distance, they all looked at Gongzi Wu and Lu Qiqian.

Many people naturally didn't know about Lu Qiqian, and they were surprised that Gongzi Wu was so flattering to the young people around him, which suddenly made many people jealous, especially the talented people in the election. After all, although Lu Qiqian has been raised since he was a child, he has always lived in the Lu family's mansion and rarely appears in the outside world, and the Chu people almost only listen to his name and do not see him. Moreover, Gongzi did not invite Lu Qiqian to participate in the Dongting banquet, it was just a temporary idea, and he wanted to meet the legendary Lu family's true dragon, and many people present naturally did not know.

"Dare to ask the Governor, how can this prince sit on the throne," a handsome man got up and asked, obviously not a good person.

Many people present were also indignant, after all, the seating order was extremely exquisite. The first place in the governor's seat is the Qing clan, and the talent is just an ordinary position. The old man of the Qing clan was also puzzled, but when they saw the impatiens, they immediately made the old man of the Qing clan gasp.

Lu Qiqian said before the son's mouth was gone, "This son, since you are so angry, how about giving up this position to you?"

"Gongzi Xie is kind, the position of Gongzi should be given to Lord Junshou" Juncai smiled, thinking that he could impress Gongzi in this way.

Lu Qiqian smiled and looked at Gongzi Wudao, "Lord Governor, what this Gongzi said is reasonable, the first person on the lower left should be Lord County Shou"

"Lu Gongzi, it's funny," Gongzi said without a smile.

A sentence of Lu Gongzi made the old man of the Qing clan guess come true, and those young talents still don't know why.
