Volume 1 The Rise of the Dongxing Kingdom Chapter 73 The heroes go to the feast, and the monkey spirit wine
A round of crescent moon hanging in the night sky, dotted with stars, the night of late autumn is not blown by a cold wind, rolling up pieces of fallen leaves, rustling, the bustling Shengjing City, to this late night, but also gradually quieted down, only which from the wind faintly drifted coquettish whispers, pianos and chirps to show the arrogant and lascivious nightlife of the nobles of Shengjing City!
At this time, there was no light in the backyard of the building, and there was a little cold silence under the faint starlight, Xu Ming sat silently in the room of the eldest grandson Tianyao, his eyes were gray, and he lost all his brilliance, and he stuffed the already cold food on the table into his mouth one by one.
This is the meal that Aunt Yao cooked for me!
Xu Ming had no tears, not even an expression, he ate the cold food cleanly, and didn't seem to realize it until he stuffed the empty chopsticks into his mouth. Xu Ming, who came back to his senses, looked at everything familiar in this room, and a heartfelt pain surged from his heart.
The girl who saved his life is gone! The girl who accompanied him is gone! But he doesn't even have the qualifications to catch up!
Xu Ming gently stroked everything familiar in this room, the lively and lovely figure seemed to appear in the room again, Xu Ming seemed to hear the familiar voice again, but unfortunately, it was just a bubble.
Xu Ming cracked the stiff muscles at the corners of his mouth, a wry smile flashed, he walked to the bed of the eldest grandson Tianyao, and pounced gently, the familiar taste still existed, but unfortunately the person no longer knew where he was at this time.
Xu Ming fell asleep with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth!
This night, many forces in Shengjing City are not calm, this evening outside the north gate of Shengjing City was shocked to see the fire phoenix, that kind of majestic and noble momentum overwhelmed everyone, no one dared to investigate, can only observe from a distance, and the crazy Xu Wumo actually ran in the direction of the fire phoenix, it seemed to lose his mind......
All those in power are very uneasy, what changes will all this bring? The sudden disappearance of the fire phoenix after its arrival makes the people in power think a thousand times, which noble people, which people in power, will always live in this doubt, even if this matter has nothing to do with you!
A bright light pierced into the room, Xu Ming opened his eyes, and saw everything familiar around him, his heart was gloomy, but life still had to go on, he slowly got up, and wanted to make up the bed that he messed up, this is the room of the eldest grandson Tianyao, Xu Ming hopes that all this can wait for her to come back as it is.
In the finishing room, there seemed to be a touch in Xu Ming's hand, and the look of doubt in his eyes flashed......
After a long time, Xu Ming gently closed the door of Changsun Tianyao's room.
"Big brother, big brother!"
As soon as Xu Ming came out, Zhen Duojin's fat man ran into the backyard of the building, he looked at Xu Ming cautiously, and he looked as funny as he looked.
Xu Ming glanced at Zhen Duojin and asked with a smile: "Fatty, you came to me so early, but what's the matter?"
Seeing Xu Ming's smile, Zhen Duojin breathed a sigh of relief on his face, but his heart was worried, Xu Ming's smile was the same as before, but Zhen Duojin could feel that under this familiar smile, there was a deep sadness, and there was something unspeakable, it seemed to be firm, indifferent, hopeful, very complicated, Zhen Duojin couldn't figure it out, it was this that made Zhen Duojin, a funny little fat man, nervous.
Zhen Duojin has been very sensitive to people's emotions since he was a child, which is also the reason why he has a deep friendship with Xu Ming, he treats Xu Ming with sincerity, and he feels that Xu Ming also repays him with sincerity.
"Hehe, big brother, it's okay, it's just that someone reported last night that the eldest brother was a little ...... on the street Grumpy, and went to the North City Gate, the younger brother was worried, so come and see, oh yes, why didn't you see my sister-in-law?"
Zhen Duojin smirked and asked cautiously, Xu Ming's heart warmed when he saw him like this, but hearing him mention yesterday's incident, Xu Ming's heart hurt again, but in an instant, he became firm again, and replied lightly:
"Something happened yesterday, but it's nothing, your sister-in-law...... I'm going home, and I'm not fighting for the building during this time!"
Zhen Duojin knew that things were not so simple, but he didn't ask much, he knew deeply that some secrets could not be declared, so he laughed and laughed, and after playing for a while, he talked about other things.
"Big brother, the prince is holding a banquet in the East Palace, I don't think things are so simple, have you decided to go?" Zhen Duojin blinked his small eyes and asked Xu Ming.
An inexplicable look flashed in Xu Ming's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Go, why don't you go, I just want to see ......"
Xu Ming's voice was a little low, and Zhen Duojin didn't even hear what Xu Ming said at the end, but he heard that Xu Ming was going, so he made an appointment to go to the banquet with him.
......
"Mr. Ghost Doctor, is that thing coming?"
"Your Highness, you are not dishonoring your mission, you can expect great things!"
"Hahaha, good, good, good, Mr. Ghost Doctor, you are really a noble person in this palace......! , Sir, that thing really can't be used on the fourth child, otherwise why add so much trouble, after all, if it happens, this is something that offends the people of the world, and Lone has to be cautious!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, this thing is harmless to people, colorless and tasteless, and even beneficial to martial arts cultivation, it is considered a secret treasure of cultivation, almost imperceptible, even if it is discovered, it will not hurt, but the four princes have too much resentment towards His Highness, and this thing will lose its effect!"
"That's it, then that's it, it's time for Lone to prepare for the banquet, hahaha, that guy from the fourth brother, he still can't fight me after all!"
......
From the third day of October to the third day of October, today's East Palace is extremely lively.
Wanghe Garden, is the prince banquet of the world's heroes, in this late autumn season, this Wanghe Garden is bizarre flowers, the trees are lush, the length and width of the lake are seven or eight hundred zhang, the emerald green lotus leaves are all over, the crystal transparent dew drops are shaking on it, a piece of emerald green, the lotus flowers of various colors poke their heads out, in the gust of breeze, in the sunshine, beautiful, it is a fairyland on earth!
In the center of the lake, dozens of pavilions are staggered and towering, many graceful maids step on the lotus leaves, fluttering into the pavilion suddenly, the jade plate delicacies are placed in place, the royal banquet, its style, can be seen in general!
Xu Ming and Zhen Duojin came to this Wanghe Garden, and when they saw this extravagant scene, even Zhen Duojin, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but smack his lips and said:
"This Gong clan is really wealthy, tsk, this season is still full of flowers, it is definitely a different species, I don't know how much effort it has spent!"
Although Xu Ming was willing to appreciate this kind of luxurious and flashy things, he couldn't shake his heart.
As soon as Xu Ming and the others arrived at Wanghe Garden, a maid led them to the pavilion.
At this time, there have been many guests in the Wanghe Garden, gathered together in twos and threes, laughter and laughter are endless, there are young Junyan scholars, and there are also old strong people who sit indifferently, and they have a high popularity.
Xu Ming looked at the dozens of connected pavilions, many guests actually had a sense of familiarity, most of the powerful people who came to woo him were here, in Zhen Duojin's muttering, Xu Ming understood, the major forces of Dongxing Kingdom have important figures here, although the lord of the power is not much, but the heirs are almost all here.
What does Gong Hong want to do? Xu Ming's eyes flashed with a different color, the people of this garden can definitely turn Dongxingguo upside down.
Not long after, dozens of Huxin Pavilion have owners, a person dressed in a four-clawed golden python robe, its eyebrows are like distant mountains, eyes are like stars, walking with a majestic man jumped up from the lakeside, stepped on the green lotus, walked into the largest Huxin Pavilion in the middle of the lake, people did not arrive, and the hearty laughter has resounded throughout the Wanghe Garden.
Seeing that the prince was here, everyone couldn't help but look at the prince, after all, he was the legitimate heir of this great Dongxing country, and everyone had to give him this face.
"Hahaha, all the heroes gathered together to participate in the lonely banquet, the lonely is not very happy, you are all the pillars of my Dongxing country, come and come, enjoy the song and dance!"
As soon as the three words of his "Song and Dance" came out, the melodious piano sounded, and a pair of dancing girls came out, dancing on the surface of the lotus leaves!
"Your Highness is polite!"
In this warm atmosphere, the dinner party began, Xu Ming saw the appearance of the prince, smiled indifferently, no matter how deep the fox's tail was hidden, there was a moment when it was exposed.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, as if the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves! Seeing this, the prince felt that the time was almost up, so he said aloud:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this dinner is set up before this sword conference in the suburbs of Beijing, do you know why?" Without waiting for everyone to return, Gong Hong glanced at everyone lightly, and continued:
"There are many young people under the age of forty among you, all of whom are my Dongxing heroes, all of whom are pointing to the Beijing suburb sword conference, wanting to be a blockbuster, these lonely are clear, and lonely is also very pleased with the sharpness of my Dongxing warriors, but the sword has no eyes, and I can't bear to hurt my Dongxing heroes in the fight, so I want to gather you here, so I have a little friendship, and save face when fighting!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful!"
Everyone responded again and again, and the prince waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "In addition, there is a strange treasure alone, I want to invite you to appreciate it, and it can be regarded as helping you to do a part in front of the Beijing Suburb Sword Conference, and forming a good fate with you!"
As soon as the prince's words came out, a trace of curiosity flashed in the eyes of many people, being able to be called a strange treasure by the prince, and it was also helpful to participate in the sword debate in the suburbs of Beijing, this kind of thing, no one was unmoved.
Taigong Hong clapped his hands, only to see a few big men carrying a big tripod to the Huxin Pavilion, suddenly, a strange fragrance permeated the entire Wanghe Garden, everyone heard it, and couldn't help but be shocked!
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Gong Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of color, and he said loudly: "This is a treasure that has been treasured for many years - monkey wine!"
As soon as Gong Hong's words came out, everyone in the garden exclaimed! This monkey wine, but a rare spirit wine, is made by the high-grade spirit monkeys picking mountain elixirs, the top grade monkey wine is comparable to five or six grade elixir, but this kind of spirit wine is rare to smell, but even the most inferior monkey wine is comparable to the three-grade spirit elixir, not to mention, drinking monkey wine is a wonderful experience!
"This monkey wine, when Lone first got it, it was just comparable to the three-grade elixir, but at that time, Lone couldn't bear to destroy the heavens, so he invited many alchemy masters, added a lot of elixirs to it, and then buried it in the ground for more than fifteen years, and dug it out today, it is not worse than the four-grade elixir, so I respect the heroes of the world!"
Gong Hong's arrogance was abnormal, and there was a cheer in the garden!
