Chapter 56: The Royal Banquet
After Xiu Wei was promoted, Ling Chen's mood was also very good, and next, he should be able to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.
Of course, this does not mean that Ling Chen can relax, after all, he is still in danger now, whether it is the Divine Intention Gate or the danger in the hunting ground, who is behind it does not know, but it is certain that the enemy must be very powerful, this cannot be wrong.
Just as Ling Chen was groaning, an attendant walked in from outside.
"Lord Ling Chen, tonight's royal banquet, the eldest prince is invited."
The attendant took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Chen.
Now Ling Chen has been made an earl, so he will call him an adult.
The prince is a man, the status of the earl is second only to the marquis, in the country of wind, only those who have made great achievements can be crowned marquis, Ling Chen was awarded the title of earl at the age of fifteen, which is already very rare.
"A royal banquet?"
Ling Chen took the letter, glanced at it a few times, put it down, and immediately nodded, "Go back to the eldest prince, I will arrive on time for this banquet." ”
"Yes."
The squire retreated.
After the attendant left, Ling Chen picked up the letter and read it in detail, and then put the letter away, this royal banquet should be just a gathering of the nobles of the Wind Country, it doesn't matter if you participate or not, but this great prince is likely to be the next generation of the Emperor of the Wind Country in the future, and if the invitation issued by the other party is directly refused, it will not give face to this future majesty.
Although in the Tianyuan Continent, the power of the imperial court is limited, far from being comparable to the sect, but there is no shortage of masters in the imperial court, and the major martial arts families in the entire Wind Country are still the largest families that respect the royal family and serve in the imperial court, so it is still a force that should not be underestimated.
……
The venue of the banquet, named "Cuiyu Tower", is located in the southeast area of the royal capital, its geographical superiority, the prosperity of the location, and the majesty of the building, it can be said that it is second only to the palace, and even in some aspects, it is above the palace.
Because the owner behind this Cuiyu Building is the eldest prince himself.
The whole royal capital, built very magnificently, with a piece of five meters square boulders piled up into the city wall, on the city wall set up arrow tower, array tower.
Today's Grand Prince's Mansion can be said to be particularly lively, dignitaries, princes, and princes will all gather here today, and most of the young warriors who participate in the hunt should receive invitations.
However, today's biggest guest is still the young palace master of Tianxu Palace, Xu Ruoyan.
"Ling Chen, you have already advanced to the first realm of martial arts?"
Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu were in the same carriage, and she could sense Ling Chen's surging breath, as if she had reached the level of a heavy realm martial artist.
"With a Void Spirit Pill, it is impossible to restore."
Ling Chen smiled.
"That's right, with your genius, if it hadn't been for the accident in the middle, it would have come to this point a long time ago." Xiao Muyu is perfect, Ling Chen's title of the first day of martial arts is not in vain, in terms of talent, the so-called four young geniuses of the Divine Intention Gate, the other three, and Ling Chen still have a certain gap.
And so it turned out.
Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu were in a carriage, and as soon as they came to the outside of Cuiyu Tower, a young man dressed in green clothes, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, greeted them and talked to Ling Chen.
"It's you, Senior Brother Dai Chao."
Ling Chen recognized the young man in front of him, this Dai Chao, who was also a disciple of the Divine Intention Sect, but the other party left the sect a few years ago and came to this royal capital to serve as the person in charge of the Divine Intention Sect in the royal capital.
When this generation of Chao was in the Divine Consciousness Gate, it happened to be the period when Ling Chen's father Ling Tianyu was in the middle of the day in the Divine Consciousness Gate, so because of Ling Tianyu's relationship, the relationship between Dai Chao and Ling Chen was also quite close.
However, because there were too many things that had happened recently, Ling Chen had forgotten that there was such an old acquaintance in this royal capital for a while.
"Senior Brother Ling Chen, Senior Sister Mu Yu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so big. If I hadn't seen you on the hunting grounds, I wouldn't have recognized you. ”
Dai Chao's body was a little rounded, and a smile appeared on his face, thinking that he had not cultivated diligently in the royal capital over the years, after all, in such a glorious and wealthy place, it was difficult to guarantee a sincere martial arts heart.
"Senior brother, you have changed a lot. After all, we are disciples of the sect, and in such a prosperous place, we still have to maintain a heart like a mirror. ”
Ling Chen couldn't see Dai Chao's situation, out of kindness, he reminded him that if it was someone else, he wouldn't say something unpleasant.
"Senior Brother Ling, you're so right."
Dai Chao heard Ling Chen's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly, but his face was also a little complicated, and he sighed, "But in this kind of right and wrong, it is too difficult to maintain a pure martial arts heart." ”
What a place of right and wrong the king, here is the center of the power struggle, deceitful and silent, since you have come to this kind of place, it is impossible to get out of the mud without staining.
He Dai Chao was also not very smooth in his cultivation, so he accepted this errand.
In this regard, Xiao Muyu also nodded, this kind of place is indeed not a suitable place for cultivation.
"It's man-made."
Ling Chen's face was still indifferent, and then said: "The ancients said that the small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city, the more this kind of place, the more it can verify a person's martial will. ”
"You really look like Sect Master Ling when you speak, and you deserve to be the son of his old man." A look of admiration appeared in Dai Chao's eyes, "Actually, I went to look for you two days ago, but I heard that you were in retreat and cultivation, so I didn't bother, I thought that you should attend this banquet, so I will wait for you here." ”
"Brother Lao Dai is bothered."
Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu arched their hands.
"Let's go inside."
Dai Chao led the way in front and walked into the green feather building first. Ling Chen then followed.
"Three, the eldest prince has prepared an exclusive place for the two distinguished guests, please come with me."
As soon as the three of them entered the attic, a maid appeared in front of them.
Following the maid all the way in, the two came to an attic.
It was a three-story glazed attic, but because of the high base, from a distance, it was foggy, like a tower where gods lived.
You can faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music in the Pavilion near the sky, which is very pleasant, like fairy music falling from the nine heavens.
"It's a luxurious place."
Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw the scene in front of them, this kind of place was a little too extravagant.
Dai Chao didn't care, obviously he was used to the atmosphere here, so he directly found a window seat and sat down, and began to look at the surrounding environment.
There were about twenty tables of warriors around, most of them were young people, some dressed gorgeously, and some wore uniform martial robes. Everyone seemed to be full of energy, all of them were martial arts masters, and the lowest cultivation was also above the Sevenfold Realm.
In the center of the first floor, ten beautiful women in colorful clothes are dancing. Their faces are beautiful, their bodies are perfect, and their skin is snow-white, like fairy beauty.
Dai Chao saw Ling Chen staring at the ten dancing beauties, leaned towards Ling Chen, and laughed in a low voice: "How is it?" Could it be that the junior brother was tempted, these beauties were all virgins, collected by the boss of this Cuiyu Tower, from various places in the country of wind, and even in the other four countries. Their task is to appear at such a large-scale royal banquet and contribute to the banquet. ”
"There is a set of this Cuiyu Building."
Ling Chen just glanced at the ten beauties, and then withdrew his gaze, these beauties are indeed very good, but no matter how beautiful they are, they are just a pink skeleton.
