Volume 3 People in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 36 The Covenant of Lianli
The banquet hall is a world of ice, and ice sculptures can be seen everywhere.
From the dome as bright as the starry sky, the graceful woman, the majestic flying dragon icicle, the ice case like flowing water, the colorful ice cup, the exquisite fruit plate, and the thousand flower trees above the ice case, everything is related to ice.
At this time, through the dome of the banquet hall, you can feel the different night outside, and the banquet hall is full of colorful lights, dazzling and amazing.
Moreover, the heat preservation effect in the banquet hall is excellent, and there is no trace of severe cold, and it is cool and suitable.
This is the good of the Far North, and you don't have to worry about the melting of the snow and ice in the coming year.
The main entrance of the banquet hall is facing a finely carved and unique banquet ice case, the ice case is oval, under the ice case, all kinds of ice spirit beasts are lifted, exuding a glazed luster against the background of the colored ice lamp, at this moment the banquet case has been filled with crystal clear fruit plates and cheese, all kinds of fresh fruits in the fruit bowl are like jade, which increases people's appetite, there are many people sitting around, only four positions are vacant.
At this moment, some people were curiously staring at the vacant seats and chatting, and they started a small discussion and speculation about the belated guests, when there were bursts of footsteps outside the door, and then the conversation stopped abruptly.
Turning his head with the sound of footsteps, he saw a man and a woman holding hands, followed by a fat woman.
At this moment, almost all eyes were attracted by the woman's extremely ordinary and even nondescript outfit, some people wanted to laugh, some people felt that it was really boring, but when these people saw the woman's appearance clearly through the quiet light, Deng Shi's eyes widened again, and he ignored the heavy makeup and braids for a moment.
Cold-faced, noble, stunning......
At this moment, you can think of all the words of praise, and the words added to this woman's body seem clichΓ©, the beauty of that face is incomparable, the beauty is incomparable, and it is so cold that it makes people's hearts move, so they hold their breath.
Zhao Lingxue was generous, nodded slightly apologetically, and everyone nodded.
Some people even couldn't help asking, "Who is this woman?"
"I also want to know if I want to ask Lord Gon, since he is invited to a banquet, he should know his identity. β
Immediately, someone cast a curious look at the red-faced old man not far away, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
During the field, he was familiar with Shen Jianning, and immediately stopped and asked.
The Divine Arrow would rather smile and not speak, which was even more mysterious.
Although he didn't talk about himself during the whole process, Xiao Jiansheng's chest was straighter than anyone else, his face was glorious, and he was full of energy, and he was only responsible for grasping the soft little hand, as if he was worried that he would not be able to grasp it firmly.
At this moment, Divine Arrow Feather smiled and beckoned from afar.
Xiao Jiansheng took Zhao Lingxue's hand and walked towards the four vacant seats.
The dining in the snowy region does not seem to be strictly exquisite, and it can basically be easily seated according to the elderly, not confined to men and women, of course, no one will be stupid enough to cover the heat in the position of the big man.
Xiao Jiansheng sat down next to Shen Jian Yu, and the first thing he did after sitting down was to wipe the sweat from his hands on the thick and fluffy mat under his buttocks.
Zhao Lingxue sat down next to Xiao Jiansheng again, her legs were very tight, one hand naturally supported her knees, and the other hand was habitually on Xiao Jiansheng's legs, falling and generous, her eyes were lowered, only looking at herself and Xiao Jiansheng, and her eyes were not squinting.
The large porcelain bowl frequently turned back to look at the fruits on the ice table.
As soon as Zhao Lingxue sat down, Shen Jian Yu looked at it with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the tender yellow pigeon flower, and he asked with a smile: "Eighty percent was done by that guy, right?"
Zhao Lingxue nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "He said that it looks good like this." β
When Xiao Jiansheng heard the words "that guy did it", he knew that nothing good happened.
Sure enough, Shen Jianyu tugged at Xiao Jiansheng's sleeve, and said with a playful smile: "I want to cover it, but the craftsmanship is good, it seems that I don't think much about it in private, right?"
Xiao Jiansheng smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic and said: "It's just a dinner, it's so grand, I feel a little bottomless in my heart, and I don't know if I can fill my stomach for a while." β
Shen Jian Yu casually glanced at the few people directly opposite the ice table, and said in a low voice: "I think so too, let's find a place to drink and eat, what do you want to say, who knew that your arrival was known by Uncle Gun, and he proposed to invite you, and I can't say no, so you'd better be mentally prepared." β
"Prepare what?"
Shen Jian Yu smiled and didn't say anything.
Xiao Jiansheng shook his head helplessly, and looked at the few people who were talking not far away.
These people should all be the heads and faces of the Divine Arrow Tribe, otherwise they wouldn't be able to go on this kind of occasion, so I heard someone laugh disdainfully: "In my opinion, although the old thief in Wushan was a little fierce this time, the final result was to move a stone and hit his own feet, although the snow region is temporarily ownerless, but it is not his turn to come out and point fingers." β
Then someone answered: "That's true, since the Lord of the Eagle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to take on this great responsibility, maybe our young master can, but it will take a lot of tempering." β
Someone set his eyes on the Divine Arrow Feather, and then unconsciously swept over Xiao Jiansheng and fixed on Zhao Lingxue.
Everyone was talking and laughing, but the red-faced and red-eared old man was still closing his eyes and recuperating.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Jiansheng's gaze stayed on the old man's face for a moment longer, and the old man might be the Gunbo that Shen Jianyu said.
Uncle Gon may have been born with a red face, but in fact, he is not very old, and he has just passed the age of the first year, but his facial features are a little anxious, and his face seems to be angry, which makes people reluctant to take a second look.
At this moment, a discordant sound came from someone's stomach.
Divine Arrow Feather rolled his eyes and said: "Let's just make up for it first, and then someone should pick on our Divine Arrow Tribe." β
Xiao Jiansheng's eyes lit up and stared at the fruit bowl, and he handed down a golden mango, and was about to share the food with Zhao Lingxue after peeling the skin, but at this moment, the red-eared old man on the opposite side suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Jiansheng.
To be precise, it is the mango who looks first, and he who looks at it later.
Xiao Jiansheng suddenly had a sense of oppression that he had been caught stealing, and felt that the mango in his hand was heavier than his black stone chessboard, and he didn't know what to do with it, so he simply grabbed it tightly in his hand, and then smiled and nodded at Uncle Gon awkwardly, and Uncle Gon also nodded at him expressionlessly.
At this moment, Gon Bo suddenly shouted to the door, "Everyone is ready, serve the food." β
His voice was really urgent, and so was the movement outside the door.
Soon, there were young women dressed beautifully, one after another, carrying hot large plates, large bowls, small plates, wine jars, wine bowls, and several 28 women with convex figures and good posture moved lightly, distributing the glass wine bowls in front of everyone, regardless of men and women.
Xiao Jiansheng glanced at the wine bowl filled in front of Zhao Lingxue, and asked in a low voice, "Do what you can, don't force it." β
Zhao Lingxue nodded and said, "Follow the customs, I want to give it a try." β
Shen Jian Yu waited for an opportunity and said: "You can drink a little, this wine is not on the head, especially suitable for people who travel far away, it can not only keep out the cold, but also relax the muscles and invigorate the blood." β
Shen Jianning suddenly whispered in Zhao Lingxue's ear, and others couldn't hear what was said, but Zhao Lingxue's face immediately turned red.
For Shen Jianning's natural bohemian character, Zhao Lingxue naturally didn't take it to heart, and said in a low voice: "In this way, I better let go of it." β
Just when Shen Jianning and the big porcelain bowl bowed their heads and whispered, Xiao Jiansheng secretly asked Zhao Lingxue, did Shen Jianning bully you again just now, Zhao Lingxue smiled and said, "She said it's okay......"
Zhao Lingxue didn't continue, and Xiao Jiansheng didn't dare to listen.
According to the basic habits of the banquet, before moving the chopsticks, there should be an elder or a banquet initiator to say a few words, but Uncle Gon did not, just waved his hand casually, signaling everyone to be casual.
For a while, the sound of bumping lamps continued.
Time passed little by little between the smell of wine, as the wine became stronger and stronger, the banquet was entering the climax, the people in the snow region can win the wine, but they can't stand the hot wine burning their throats, many people have shown their heartiness, there are divine arrows and feathers to accompany them, Xiao Jiansheng is no exception, frequently raise his glass, and he has already blushed and dizzy.
Only Zhao Lingxue tasted it lightly, and she never lost her demeanor, her pretty face was slightly red, and her words were moderate, which made Shen Jianning very helpless, and at a critical time, the big porcelain bowl would secretly drink a few sips for Zhao Lingxue.
Almost two hours later, everyone was drunk, and all that was left on the ice case was leftovers of cold soup, and it was estimated that it was about to disperse, Xiao Jiansheng patted the arrow feather and said, "Do you know who Wushan is?"
The wine glass that Shen Jian Yu picked up was put down again, hesitated for a moment and replied, "Did you provoke him?"
Xiao Jiansheng said lightly: "Kill him a hundred envoys, is it considered to provoke?"
Shen Jian Yu's cautious gaze swept around, and then he said in a low voice: "I heard that he has practiced evil arts since he was a child, and he regards cultivators as playthings, and this is also true, but no cultivator can get any benefit in front of him. β
Xiao Jiansheng sneered and suddenly said: "Bijia Kingdom was destroyed at the hands of Wushan, and he still owes me more." β
Shen Jian Yu nodded clearly, naturally knowing that the so-called debt was owed to Zhao Lingxue, when Wushan destroyed the Bijia Kingdom, causing Princess Huanyu and the emperor of the Fengtian Dynasty who was still a prince to separate, he had also heard of this.
Shen Jian Yu thought for a while and warned: "This trip will inevitably pass by the territory of Wushan, it is better to be careful, with Wushan's cruel temperament, I will pay attention to your whereabouts." β
Xiao Jiansheng nodded, and at this moment, Zhao Lingxue dipped in wine and wrote the word "blood" in the palm of Xiao Jiansheng's hand.
The sound of wine on the opposite side of the ice case suddenly faded, and I saw Uncle Gon suddenly get up with a wine glass, looked at Zhao Lingxue from afar, and said: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is coming to our place, and I hereby prepare a thin wine, if there is any incomplete reception, please understand." β
Hearing the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess", the scene was immediately silent, dozens of pairs of scarlet eyes looked at Zhao Lingxue at the same time, Xiao Jiansheng felt that there was something in Uncle Gon's words, so he put down the wine bowl vigilantly, and sure enough, when Zhao Lingxue got up and bowed slightly, Uncle Gon said with a smile: "When Your Majesty was still a prince, he had a few encounters with me. β
Gon laughed to himself and drank the wine in his bowl.
Zhao Lingxue's face slowly turned cold, and asked, "I don't know what my father and emperor promised Uncle Gun, if it's convenient, it's okay for this princess to do it here." β
Uncle Gon smiled with gratification, and said: "Back then, he said to Gon after hunting, if there is a woman in the future, he should marry the heirs of my Gon family, although it is a drunken word, but you have no jokes, and naturally the prince should also make words, however, your father broke his promise first and promised you to marry the Xihuangyan family, but today, you are holding the hand of others, I don't know whether Gon should be happy or worried about this matter?"
At that moment, the bowl of wine in front of a sturdy man next to Gun suddenly poured, and the wine spread out along the ice table.
