Chapter 633: Night Banquet (4)
Do you want me to drink! Do I just drink it? God knows, what's in there?
Xiao Junling looked at the cyan crystal gourd for a while, shook his head, stuffed it back into the girl's hand, and said with a smile:
"Since it's a good thing, it must not be too easy to get, right? It's better to keep it for yourself! ”
"You don't want it?" The girl's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it:
"You don't want to? Do you know how rare this thing is? Even ...... Even Her Majesty the Empress doesn't get to drink this very often! ”
Xiao Junling said in surprise: "Since it is such a valuable thing, how did you get it as a maid?" Don't say it's stolen! ”
"Of course, it was originally ......" The girl nodded hurriedly, and suddenly reacted to what she said, her white face couldn't help but turn red, and her mouth was deflated, as if she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry:
"Do you drink or not? It took a long time for people to make up their minds to give it to you, you idiot...... How dare you say don't ......"
Princess Sakurasugi finally couldn't stand it anymore, pulled his sleeve and said, "You just drink it!" That's the secret treasure of the Imperial Palace's inner garden: Lingluo Zhen Spirit Pulp! A treasure that has never been enjoyed only by Her Majesty the Empress! It's hard for even princes and princesses to taste good things! ”
"This temple ...... This girl is the most favored handmaiden around His Majesty, so it's not unusual for her to get this! ”
"Yes, yes! That's it! The girl nodded hurriedly, lest Xiao Junling not believe it, so she simply unscrewed the lid and took a sip herself, before handing it to him:
"See? People have already tasted it! You can always drink it now, right? ”
Xiao Junling took it in disbelief, and there was a faint silver glint in his palm. After confirming that no abnormality was found, he smiled and said, "Okay! Since it's your heart. Then I'll be disrespectful! ”
As he spoke, he carefully tasted it. The taste of the liquid was extremely sweet and mellow, and when it entered his body down his throat, it was like the huge energy of the rolling ocean current, pouring into his internal organs like a mountain and a sea, with a scorching breath, almost making him feel suffocated!
Suddenly, he even felt that his five senses were a little clearer, and that terrifying energy was rapidly improving and optimizing his body structure from the genetic level. Its effect was so strong that it simply surpassed any rare elixir he had ever seen before!
"Good stuff indeed!" 魅歆 says:
"This gourd spirit pulp can at least increase your eleventh-order ability! It's just that the identity of this girl is probably not simple! ”
Xiao Junling put his mind at ease, as long as it is not poisonous, as for this girl, her real identity should not be lower than Princess Yingshan, maybe she is also a princess!
Seeing that he drank all the Lingluo spirit syrup in the gourd, the girl smiled again, bit his ear and said:
"How is it, now I know how the people of Lu Dao are doing, right?"
Xiao Junling smiled. He put her on the ground and said, "We're going to a banquet!" Do you want to join us? ”
The girl shook her head and said, "No! There's so much more to do! I'll see you again in the future! ”
She hugged him hard and bounced away. From time to time, he turned around and waved at him.
"Who is this? Your sisters? Xiao Junling asked Princess Yingshan.
Sakurasugi's expression was a little strange, and he nodded lightly and said, "It should be...... Sort of! ”
Without waiting for him to ask again, he took his hand and said, "It's not early, let's go in quickly!" There's still business to do! ”
In the banquet hall, a song was played, and many dancers retreated after saluting.
After Empress Su Moya toasted again, she found Xiao Junling who walked in with Ying Shan and Duke Xingni Ye, her sharp eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and after looking at him intently, a kind and gentle smile bloomed on her face, and she raised her voice:
"A few Qing families, as well as General Xiao Kun, you are late, you should be fined three glasses of wine!"
Xiao Junling saluted and said politely: "Your Majesty, the beautiful and wise Majesty, the foreign minister is not feeling well, so he came a little late, but it made you laugh, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame!" ”
Empress Su Moya smiled and said, "Of course! How could I blame the general? I heard that the general was born in a Chinese family, not only is he talented, but he has the cultivation of the God of War at a young age, and he also has amazing achievements in expanding the territory! It really makes many of the wealthy children of the Qingqiu Empire ashamed! ”
"It's just a small achievement, I don't deserve such praise from Her Majesty the Empress!" Xiao Junling replied decently.
"Deserved, deserved!" Su Moya put down her wine glass, said a few words to the palace maid beside her, and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency General is a young man with a heroic and promising future, and in time, he will inevitably become a famous hero in the Star Sea World Realm, and even I am looking forward to it!"
"Hmmm! Why don't you sit next to me this time? ”
Several male attendants immediately brought out a golden chair and table, only a few steps away from the empress's throne, and placed wine vessels and various delicacies.
Xiao Junling couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked at the archon next to him.
According to the tradition of the Qingqiu court, those important ministers who have made great contributions or are particularly favored and trusted have the opportunity to sit next to the empress during the palace banquet, which is regarded as a great honor by the government and the opposition!
But with Xiao Junling's current identity, no matter how you look at it, it can't be associated with such special treatment! What is Empress Su Moya doing?
Tang Xudong shook his head slightly, and showed a helpless wry smile at him.
Princess Sakurasugi's face was angry, but she didn't say anything, pretending to hang her head and go to drink, without anyone noticing her abnormality!
Looking at the sneer on the corner of Chu Jingyuan's mouth on the other side, he suddenly understood eight or nine points, and the killing intent in his heart was boiling, and he could hardly hide it anymore!
This bastard who has forgotten his ancestors and is incorruptible and shameless is really haunted! That's fine, I'll be the first to slaughter you! Look how you hurt people in the future!
Seeing that the eyes of the audience were focused on him, Xiao Junling took a calm breath and gently thanked him:
"Since Your Majesty has a life. The foreign minister was honored. Obey! ”
After that, he slowly walked up the jade steps to the high platform. In front of Her Majesty the Empress, he took the opportunity to salute and looked at her deeply.
Su Moya's slender Danfeng eyes were deeply hidden greed and possessiveness, and looking at him was no different from looking at a plate of delicacies from the mountains and seas!
Behind the throne, there were several deep and condensed, terrifying auras like the abyss, which should belong to the empress's side of the defense.
Xiao Junling sat down quietly, and then raised his glass to toast Su Moya.
He thought that Princess Deliwei and the others were about to start the meeting later, and now he might as well perfunctory the dying empress first, so as not to cause trouble! At least in this position. It's a little more convenient when you get started!
The female official beside her gestured slightly, and the music in the hall sounded again, and another group of dancers dressed up in fancy clothes poured in.
This large-scale dance with the style of the Qingqiu court is also pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately it won't be long before this place will be full of blood and turn into a hellish Shura field! Xiao Junling glanced at the ministers below and thought silently.
"General Xiao," Su Moya's voice came from her ears.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the empress take off a gold and jade bracelet on Hao's wrist, and smiled at him: "The general is young and promising, and his demeanor is heartbreaking!" This bracelet is not a good piece of equipment. Why don't you give it to the general! ”
Xiao Junling nodded and got up to pick it up. The emperor's reward is always difficult to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Su Moya took advantage of the opportunity of his hand to grab his wrist without a trace, and put the bracelet on him with her own hands!
"I heard that the general has a lot of experience in the politics of the territory, if you have time in the future, you might as well come to the palace often! I'd like to take this opportunity to ask for advice! She rubbed his hand gently and whispered.
Before Xiao Junling could answer, he heard an empty voice coming over: "Your Majesty, Honorable Empress, such a feast, the imperial ministers gathered together, but why didn't you invite us?" ”
The voice is not too high, but it contains an inexplicable amount of power, and the last few words rumble in everyone's ears like a Hong Zhong Da Lu!
The ministers couldn't help but be in an uproar, and they all looked around, looking for the source of the sound.
Most of the lights in the hall were suddenly extinguished, and a slender and graceful figure strode out from the group of dancing girls below, standing still at the foot of the jade steps, and calmly staring at the supreme ruler of the empire on the throne!
Princess Delivi, finally appeared!
Empress Su Moya's face changed suddenly, and she finally let go of Xiao Junling's hand: she said in disbelief: "It's you?" You're not in the western part of the empire, how could you sneak into the capital? This...... That's impossible! ”
"I've been here for days!" The princess smiled slightly, slowly showed a short sword inlaid with gold and jade in her hand, and said softly:
"Of course, I don't have time to explain the specific process to you one by one, and when you see your mother, you can go and repent to her!"
"And me!" Princess Sakurasugi kicked over the table and walked out with a sword.
"You...... You ......" Empress Su Moya's face turned pale, and she said angrily: "Take them down for me......"
Before the words fell, she only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and when she looked down, the blade of the sword in the hand of the handsome and fair-skinned beautiful young man had pierced deeply into her body!
"I'm sorry, I'm with them too!" A pure and sunny smile appeared on Xiao Junling's face.
A coercion full of hideous killing intent surged from behind the throne, Xiao Junling's expression remained unchanged, and the blade of the sword let out a low trembling sound, stabbing out hundreds of swords in an instant! At the same time, a five-color light curtain surged from within the body, blocking the opponent's heavy blow!
The empress snorted, her body retreated violently, the green light on her body kept flashing, and the huge wound on her abdomen was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Poof!"
A half-colorless, transparent blade suddenly appeared on her chest.
Princess Delivi had arrived behind her at some point, clutching the hilt of her sword in her hand!
Immediately after, a sword flashed like a skill, and the hand she placed on the dimensional space bracelet was slashed off alive! It was Princess Sakurasugi's sword.
A two-meter-high door of light quietly emerged, and the fifth prince Ye Shayun rushed out with a picturesque purple-clothed girl, and a sharp double-headed short spear in his hand burst out of the crystals, slamming into the queen's waist!
One after another, the figures flashed, and they all beckoned the weapons in their hands towards her! In just a few moments, the supreme ruler of the Qingqiu Empire could no longer see his human form and turned into a mixture of meat and organs!
At this time, the sub-artifact bracelet on Xiao Junling's wrist still had a faint body temperature.
"Your Majesty Hupros, it's been a long time!" He looked at Emperor Grossavi, whose face was gloomy and firmly protected by a round of crystal clear purple light balls, and greeted with a smile:
"Your master is finished! It's better to submit to our Chinese Empire! ”
"Abominable humans!" Hupros snorted coldly, seeing that a large number of guards outside the temple gate continued to pour in, and Su Moya's henchmen were taken down one after another, knowing that the general trend had gone, he said coldly:
"You wait for me! One day, I will make you pay for your blood debts! ”
Xiao Junling sighed: "It's all at this time!" Do you think you're still gone? Come over here! ”
A purple-gold three-dimensional rune flashed lightly in his body, and under the traction of some magical energy field, the ball of light around Humpulos's body changed in light and shadow, and instantly disappeared into invisibility!
The fist-sized purple-gold crystal ball broke out of his control and turned into a streamer of light and rushed into Xiao Junling's body! (To be continued......)
