Wang Boying responded quickly, but unexpectedly, the other party changed his move temporarily, his right hand turned lightly, changed to a palm, and a palm wind full of true qi suddenly drooped down, hitting the knife body hard, and the terrifying and terrifying strength invaded the body with the knife body, Wang Boying's half of his body was cold, and the soreness and numbness and pain surged over, and the long knife in his hand flew out of his hand, penetrating into a personal guard's vest not far away.

It was the first time he had encountered such a face-to-face weapon that he had taken off his hands.

Just when he was frightened, Wang Boying suddenly saw that the other party's other hand was grabbing his chest, and he couldn't avoid it, and secretly shouted: My life is over.

Nearby guards rushed to the rescue, but they were all too late.

Wang Boying only felt that his chest was tight, he was already caught by the opponent, and his strength broke into his body, sealing several big points on his body, and then the opponent did not touch the ground, his body bounced violently, and he turned back, Wang Boying only felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and when he touched the ground and stood upright again, he was already beside Xue Wengong.

"Teacher You has worked hard......"

After Xue Wengong clasped his fists at the person who made the move, he smiled faintly at Wang Boying, "Vice Marshal Wang, to say something that makes you feel cold, none of these 150,000 border troops have obeyed your orders, even the few battalions of brothers who left, they went to the established location according to the plan of the imperial court, instead of following Chongxuanhu's arrangement to Jingnan City or the Jingyun border. Xue Wengong patted Wang Boying on the shoulder and said with a faint smile: "Brother Wang rebelled with Chongxuanhu's thief, which is really not a wise move. I know that Brother Wang is depressed at the moment, why don't you watch a big show with me and have fun, how about it?"

Wang Boying's face was like ashes, and he was speechless.

It was just dawn, and the first rooster crowing could be faintly heard outside the house.

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, tied his belt, and tied the copper coins strung together in the belt again, tightly attached to his waist and abdomen, and he couldn't see it from the outside, and he didn't get in the way of his own actions.

Today's "Heroes' Banquet", Ye Qingxuan still went with Xie Yuanluo as a scholar, while Xie Zi'an concealed his father and entered the venue with Fang Yuanshan and others as people from the rivers and lakes attending the meeting.

On the night when Ye Qingxuan was framed by Xue Wengong, because Ye Qingxuan performed properly, Fang Zhenshan, who had exchanged hands with Ye Qingxuan a few times, was seen by Ning Antai, the pursuing captain of the Tiger Guard, and remembered it in his heart. In recognition of Fang Zhenshan's goodwill, the little-known Yuanshan Dart Bureau was also included in the invitation.

"Heroes' Banquet", invited magnates, wealthy businessmen and gangsters, a total of more than 500 doors, each invited guest can bring four escorts, a line of five people to participate in the banquet.

And Fang Yuanshan and his party took Lu Qingzheng, Qingyan Daoren, He Qingzhu, and Xie Zi'an, who had put on makeup, to go together, while the rest of the people and Jiang Shui Han's Dajiang Alliance were all hidden in a secret place outside the mansion, waiting for an opportunity to receive Ye Qingxuan and others.

Ye Qingxuan followed Xie Yuanluo into the venue, but he still begged Huo Dong several times to win it down, because Huo Dong and the people of the Demon Elimination Alliance were arranged by Xue Gongwang in the Xie Mansion, and together with the more than 20 remnants of the Third Division, they protected Xie Yuanluo's family together. Originally, Ye Qingxuan was also assigned a task like this, but Ye Qingxuan begged a lot, and Huo Dong agreed to let him accompany Xie Yuanluo to the meeting. And Xie Yuanluo was not particularly dissatisfied with the little scholar next to him, although he subconsciously thought that he was sent by the imperial court to monitor his eyes and ears.

"Where is the second young master?" Xie Yuan suddenly asked.

"Old man, the second young master didn't wake up yesterday with a hangover with a few sons, and he was still sleeping soundly in the 'Linxian Building'...... Can the little one wake up the second young master?" Ye Qingxuan bowed and replied.

"Alas...... Excuse me—"

Xie Yuan hesitated slightly, glanced at this impressive little scholar fixedly, and asked, "I remember you, you are Zhang Xiaosheng who saved my son's life?"

"It's the villain......

Xie Yuan nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "You were lucky last time, I hope you will be equally lucky this time......

After speaking, he stepped into the carriage, and Ye Qingxuan sat outside the carriage, on the other side of the emperor.

"Let's go - let's go......"

Xie Yuanluo was the organizer of the banquet, so he naturally had to rush to the venue very early to command, and the real time for the banquet to start was at 7 o'clock in the evening.

The General's Mansion is located on a hill in the center of Jingnan City, and Qingshui Lake is located below. The General's Mansion is tall and majestic, surrounded by city walls, and the city river is deep and wide, like a city in a city.

The "Heroes' Banquet" will be held in the "Qi Nourishing Palace" in the backyard of the General's Palace.

Although the Xie Mansion and the General's Mansion are far away across the lake, Ye Qingxuan is the first time to see this "Great General's Mansion" that is destined to be famous all over the world.

Even though he had seen such magnificent buildings as the Forbidden City in his previous life, Ye Qingxuan was still shocked by the scene in front of him. It's just that the huge stone statues on both sides of the General's Mansion that are nearly ten meters high to ward off evil spirits made Ye Qingxuan feel completely depressed.

In this world, although there are still hierarchies, the boundaries between the various classes are not so feudal, and the phenomenon of overstepping the rules and etiquette of the feudal dynasty in the previous life is nothing at all here. Therefore, not only the feudal officials, but even the slightly wealthy merchants, are desperately building big houses to show their superior share.

Therefore, the General's Mansion looked exceptionally tall in front of Ye Qingxuan, approaching the palace courtyard.

The carriage slowly drove into the grand gate, and entered the square in front of the main hall through the circular alley-shaped doorway.

There are military halls on both sides of the gate, and two battalions of troops are stationed, all of which are the direct elites of Chongxuanhu, all of which are directly commanded by Chongyanhu. After following the usual questioning, he made twelve horsemen escort Xie Yuanluo's carriage before and after, and galloped towards the main hall.

The "General's Mansion" is built according to the mountainous terrain, but it has not gotten rid of the layout of "sleeping in front of the back", the front is the place where Chongxuanhu handles government affairs and holds military meetings, and the back is the bedroom of himself and his wife and concubine.

Chongxuanhu only had one son, who died early, and there were many remaining concubines, occupying no less than 30 gardens.

The three main halls of the vestibule are majestic and magnificent, the Huwei Hall in the middle can overlook the whole Jingnan City from the mountain, and the two side halls are on the left and right sides of the Huwei Hall later, with this as the central axis, the two sides are the Xiangguo Hall and all kinds of official offices; the chrysanthemum is a variety of gardens and courtyards, basically similar to the pattern of the palace, are the residences of the concubines of Chongxuanhu, which is next to the main hall, is the bedroom of Chongxuanhu himself, and on the left side of it, is the residence of Chongxuanhu. The father and son live so closely, which shows how much Chongxuanhu loves his son.

Ye Qingxuan watched along the way, only to see the palace, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions in the garden, platforms, corridors, etc., all of which were strict and solemn, and the weather was solemn, which could not be compared with the palace.

The architectural forms of the inner court are more diverse than the outer court, the layout is compact, each group of buildings is a courtyard of its own, surrounded by courtyard walls, and there are tall palace walls in different sections.

The place where Chongxuanhu holds a banquet is the "Qi Nourishing Palace" of chrysanthemums, and it is also the most magnificent wooden building in chrysanthemum architecture.

It is a square building, with a whole first floor, which is a place for the rest of the servants and performers, divided into various rooms, under which all the dishes of the banquet are prepared.

The front of the building is a wooden staircase, straight up to the second floor, here is a very wide view of the wooden platform, the high platform is directly opposite and on the left and right, is a two-story pavilion-style hall, the first floor of the hall is still left empty, made into a verandah-like style, to the beginning of the banquet, on both sides of the side here is the musician playing music, the other side is the place where the maid serves the food.

The main hall on the front is one level higher than the two sides, and there are ten rooms of various sizes, including bedrooms, rest rooms, bathing rooms, washrooms, etc., and each room is connected by a corridor and a ramp. There are colorful murals on the wall, the steps of the cloister are paved with dragon and phoenix patterns or geometric pattern bricks, and the hall and the long steps are paved with square bricks, which is magnificent and magnificent.

Xie Yuanluo's carriage stopped in the square under the steps of the main hall, and the two civil officials each held something like an account book, waiting for Xie Yuanluo there.

"The lower officials meet Lord Changshi......"

"Are all the preparations for the banquet ready?"

One of the chubby civil servants replied respectfully: "Lord Shi, everything prepared for the banquet should be prepared, and the various troupes performing during the banquet are also in place on the first floor, and the kitchen has also begun to work, and some of the food that consumes effort has been cooked as early as yesterday, so it can be said that everything is ready, just ......."

"Alright, alright...... I believe in the two of you, it's okay to ...... it."

Xie Yuanluo didn't want to waste time in these places, "Take me to the troupe, I want to make sure that today's performance can't be on any business trips...... Uh, have you arrived?"

Ye Qingxuan didn't care about it originally, but when he heard this, his ears pricked up and he listened carefully.

"Everyone Qiu has already arrived here, their show is extremely important, and they are now rehearsing downstairs, I dare not disturb ......"

"Let's go-take me to see ......" Xie Yuanluo then turned his head and said to Ye Qingxuan's other guards: "You don't have to go, wait here for ......" glanced at Ye Qingxuan meaningfully, "You kid just come with me."

"Yes—" Ye Qingxuan hurriedly followed Xie Yuanluo.

Ye Qingxuan thought in his heart: "When I see Xue Gongwang, I will first mention the matter of the master, but not to mention the arrest of Chong Xielin for the time being, lest after being rejected by Xue Gongwang, the plan of the current sect will be stalled." Let's take a look at the wind and see what the imperial court means to the Kunwu faction......"

As Xie Yuanluo descended from the side hall to the first floor, Ye Qingxuan found that this place was not as closed as he imagined, a huge area was completely blocked from sunlight by the second floor, but the four sides were still bright and well ventilated, and the corridors inside extended in all directions, and countless thick courtyard pillars supported the platform on the second floor.

"Xie Changshi, that side is the direction of the kitchen, and the Qiu family's troupe is arranged in the best ventilated house in the south...... Please come with the officer. ”
