Chapter 11: The Birthday Banquet I
In 3001 AD, Shen Qiannan, the second elder of Xuanwu Mountain in the Holy Land, decided to hold his 200th birthday at his birth, and the entire White Tiger City was decorated with lights and joy.
The Lord of the White Tiger Empire ordered the whole city to celebrate for three days to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Xuanwu Mountain Elder.
Danzhou disappeared early in the morning, and by the way, he took away the steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, leaving only Hao Zhao an invitation card and a note with a line of beautiful small characters written on it:
There is a prior departure, this is an invitation, be careful.
"Didn't you say that we would face it together?" Hao Zhao looked at the big red invitation card and said depressedly.
"Brother Tai, may I ask how to get to the Shen Mansion?" Out of the Dragon Descending Restaurant, Hao Zhao saw a fat man carrying a gift, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
The fat man is six feet tall, wearing a lake-green carved silk auspicious cloud pattern gown, a big cake face, and two cross-eyed eyes.
He glanced at Hao Zhao, and saw that Hao Zhao was also holding a red invitation, but there was no gift on his mobile phone, so he said earnestly: "Brother, you are also going to the mixed field, my brother warns you, don't go to join in the fun." What kind of place is Shen Mansion, although today is a festive day, but if you make the old birthday unhappy, you may throw your life there at any time, so ......"
"Thank you for your kindness, I have my own arrangements." Hao Zhao took out the big red invitation card and shook it in front of the fat man's eyes.
The fat man made a big red face, he snatched the invitation, and after confirming that it was true, he returned it to Hao Zhao, and said: "Haha, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, hurt the family, it is the old brother who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and please don't mind the younger brother." ”
Hao Zhao knew that the fat man's previous words were not malicious, so he didn't care, "It's okay, you haven't asked my brother's name yet?" ”
The fat man was flattered, and hurriedly handed Hao Zhao a business card, and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, my surname is Gu Mingchen, and I am the young owner of Gulong Carriage and Horse Company, are you a little hero?" ”
The ancient dragon carriage and horse shop, isn't it the carriage and horse carriage from the Blue Dragon Empire to the White Tiger Empire? That's a rich businessman!
It's really fateful, Hao Zhao said secretly, but said quietly: "I am a guy from the Jishang Pavilion, surnamed Hao Mingzhao." ”
Gokukami? I haven't heard of it, but I think it must be a career that doesn't enter the stream. Gu Chen thought to himself, but said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be little brother Hao Zhao, how old am I to call you, can I call you brother?" ”
As for the man, Gu Chen chose to automatically ignore, joke! The invitation to the birthday banquet of the Shen Mansion is so precious, how can it be in the hands of a fellow.
Hao Zhao nodded in agreement.
"Come, brother, brother, I'll lead the way in front, let's go to the Shen Mansion together."
Ten minutes away, Hao Zhao came to a conclusion - Gu Chen is definitely an unscrupulous person. However, he had already turned on the shielding mode, and when he arrived at the door of the Shen Mansion, the two handed over the invitation to the little guy at the door, and then they separated and were taken to different places.
"Distinguished guests, please follow me inside." A silver medal attendant dressed in a red robe said to Hao Zhao.
Hao Zhao knew that in the Zisheng Continent, the servants of the rich families were roughly divided into three categories, namely gold medal attendants, silver medal attendants, and bronze medal attendants.
Being able to get a silver medal attendant was something Hao Zhao didn't expect, but when he thought of Danzhou's identity, Hao Zhao was relieved.
Gu Chen watched the unattractive kid in front of him walk into the inner courtyard, and he was shocked and annoyed in his heart, although his father had already warned him that as a businessman, he should not judge people by his appearance, but he still didn't take it seriously, he really regarded him as an ordinary person, watching the developed opportunity slip away in front of him, Gu Chen beat his chest for a while, Hao Zhao, you are a big liar!
"Brother Gu, thank you for leading the way, we will meet later." At the end, Hao Zhao suddenly turned his head and said to Gu Chen.
"Well, okay...... Okay, Brother Hao Zhao, you're welcome, it's a pleasure to meet you. Gu Chen was overjoyed, and almost shouted out in a roaring voice.
The entire Shen Mansion was crowded, and everyone was filled with joy. From the butler to the attendant, from the host to the guest, everyone had a smile on their face. Coupled with the influence of the pavilions and pavilions and the rockery in the pool, Hao Zhao's tense heart gradually relaxed.
"You're here anyway?" A quirky girl suddenly jumped out of the rockery and stopped in front of Hao Zhao.
I saw that the woman was small and exquisite, wrapped in a pale pink dress, draped in a white gauze dress, the skirt was pleated on the ground, more than three feet long, three thousand green silk was tied up with a hairband, and a butterfly hairpin was inserted on her head, looking at Hao Zhao with interest.
"I've seen Miss Ruxue!" The silver medal attendant said respectfully with his right hand on his chest.
Chu Ruxue's long golden hair was draped over her shoulders, her red little face was like two apples, she waved her hand at the little maid and said, "You go down, I'll take him in." ”
"No." The little guy respectfully retreated.
"Little brother, tell my sister, what is the relationship between you and Aunt Zhou?" When leading the way, Chu Ruxue said like a child.
“……”
Hao Zhao rolled his eyes in his heart, keeping in mind Danzhou's entrustment, no matter how Chu Ruxue asked, he said that he and Danzhou were distant relatives, until Chu Ruxue pouted and left angrily.
Compared with the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is much more relaxed, in addition to a dozen banquets, more are dotted with strange flowers and plants, somehow, the placement of these flowers and plants always gives Hao Zhao a strange illusion, there is a faint depression, when he feels it carefully, this trace of depression is quietly gone, it is really strange!
The cold wind is howling outside, and the spring here is full of joy, which shows the extraordinary nature of the Shen Mansion.
Hao Zhao found an inconspicuous position, sat down alone, and began to wait for Danzhou to appear.
Danzhou didn't appear, but Hao Zhao waited for an extremely arrogant voice, "Where did this wild boy come from, and he actually came to the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion?" ”
Hao Zhao looked up and saw that it was a group of people he met in the restaurant that day.
The first young man stared at Hao Zhao, his eyes were as clear as black glass, his eyes were only cold, and there was dignity and arrogance between his eyebrows. The golden sunlight set off his handsome face particularly dazzlingly. Dressed in a colored plain clothes, but embroidered with purple pythons, it looks noble and elegant, and the upper body exudes a special aristocratic atmosphere.
Huangfu Bohu came to Hao Zhao surrounded by a group of people, but what he spoke was a bewitching girl standing next to Huangfu Bohu in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup.
"What did the imperial aunt ask you? Brat. Huangfu Bohu couldn't see this kind of Lao Tzu's temperament that was the best in the world, and seeing that Hao Zhao didn't feel it, he was suddenly angry and said sharply.
Hao Zhao glanced at the girl lightly, a bad taste flashed in his heart, his sword eyebrows were raised, and he said, "Is she your aunt or lover?" ”
didn't want Huangfu Bohu to hear about it, but like a fried rooster, he shouted to exterminate Hao Zhao to the nine clans.
The girl cried unexpectedly, and the young man named Duanmu Yuyang jumped out in response to the voice to duel Hao Zhao.
The interesting topics and lively scenes soon attracted a large number of onlookers, and everyone took the initiative in the spirit of watching the excitement and not thinking that it was a big deal, and in the blink of an eye, a small ring was built.
When someone said that analyzing the strength of Hao Zhao and Duanmu Yuyang, they were the first and sixth orders of the Qi refining period, most of them lost interest again, in their opinion, this was a battle without suspense, there was no fairness, only boring distinctions.
As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed, even if Duanmu Yuyang does not propose a duel just now, Hao Zhao also plans to find an opportunity to clean up this ruthless guy, after a night's rest, Hao Zhao's spiritual power has fully recovered, so he can clearly feel that the strength of Dragon Boat Festival Yuyang is at the sixth level of the refining period.
The first order of the refining period is against the sixth order of the upper refining stage, Hao Zhao does not have the slightest chance of winning, unless he uses the law of space.
But the harder battle is still to come, if the space law twice a day is used on Duanmu Yuyang, wouldn't it be a big waste to kill chickens with a knife.
In addition, Hao Zhao also had the heart to feel the gap between the first and sixth orders of the body refining period, if he could take this opportunity to break through to the second order of the body refining stage, it would be an excellent opportunity.
Hao Zhao and Duanmu Yuyang quickly stood on top of the ring, because the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion was extremely wide, the movement here had not yet alarmed the Shen Mansion guards.
Hao Zhao and Duanmu Yuyang, one is tall and handsome, the other is dark and honest, standing on both sides of the ring at the moment, the atmosphere is gradually solemn, and the battle is about to break out.
"Duanmu Yuyang, clean him up for Prince Ben, there is no life and death in the ring, and I will be responsible if something happens." Huangfu Bohu's handsome face was full of murderous aura.
Most of the people in the inner courtyard are extraordinary, but as soon as they saw the imperial prince angry, everyone also knew that the black baby was more than lucky.
"Come on!" The two of them roared in unison, and immediately improved their luck and luck, and collided with each other like two bulls.
"Boom!"
The surrounding dust was flying, and the figures of Hao Zhao and Duanmu Yuyang were drowned in the dust around them.
Duanmu Yuyang refining period of the sixth order, after refining the limbs, body, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, only the kidneys have not been refined, the strength and function of the body have reached the peak of the refining period, Hao Zhao only has the first order of the refining period, it stands to reason that he is not Duanmu Yuyang's opponent at all, but he has cultivated "Chaos Decision" from the beginning, and his physical strength is more than ten times stronger than that of the general refining period, coupled with the basic footwork of "Nine Waves", coupled with Duanmu Yuyang's contempt, so he can be invincible.
The dust fell, and the two of them came and went, relying on the speed and strength of their bodies, they slammed dozens of palms at each other, and they were evenly matched, and then everyone seemed to find that the kid in front of them at the first order of the refining period did not seem to be so simple, and they all surrounded each other.
Some people are excited, some people are excited, but no one regrets it, everyone thinks, what is more interesting than ravaging a genius teenager?
Duanmu Yuyang's face couldn't hold back, with his strength, it was easy to deal with thirty or fifty people in the first order of the refining period, this is the gap between the sixth order of the refining period and the first order of the refining period, the lungs belong to gold, after the sixth order of the refining period has finished refining the lungs, his strength will increase by more than ten times, but he is against Hao Zhao, and he can't win after so many moves.
"I heard that this Duan Mu Yuyang grew up with the Golden Tiger Prince since he was a child, and he was also fortunate enough to go to the Sacred Domain Academy, why is his strength so poor!" One said.
"The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, some people are talented, some people are poor, that's normal, you think you can climb to the sky when you are a dog!" Another said.
……
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, but no one said that Duanmu Yuyang was good, it seems that the usual character of the master and servant is really not good.
Duanmu Yuyang's cheeks were red with shame, and he yelled at Hao Zhao, "I'm going to be serious, little brother, don't say that I bully the small with the big if I hurt you." ”
As soon as these words came out, it saved him some face, and the implication was that he had not used all his strength before.
Hao Zhao didn't eat this, sneered, and Lang Lang said, "Just come." ”
"Golden Mountain Fire Palm!"
Duanmu Yuyang shouted, his palms waved, fast and evenly, along a fixed trajectory, the surrounding air currents surged, rubbing against each other, a scorching breath spread out, the aura boiled, and gradually there was a tendency to mobilize, with this Duanmu Yuyang's movements, there was a faint trace of flame on the palms.
The well-informed guest suddenly said: "'Jinshan Flame Palm' is a Xuan-level martial art, a martial art known for its super attack power, once the enemy is hit, he will feel burned by the flames, and life is worse than death, I didn't expect that this Duan Mu Yuyang only has the realm of the sixth order of the body refining period, and he can also perform this kind of palm technique, which can be regarded as a genius that is rare in ten years." ”
"It's over, that kid is done......"
Duanmu Yuyang rushed towards Hao Zhao with his special move, vowing to kill this ignorant boy who had damaged his face three times and twice.
Duanmu Yuyang's fire palm locked on Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao had no choice but to take it hard, silently running the nine waves, the muscles of his arms were organically combined, Hao Zhao took a breath, clenched his fists, and slammed into the fire palm.
"Snort!"
With a bang, the strength was scattered, the air flow surged, the seats and potted plants close to the two made a squeaky sound, and a beautiful woman in the foundation building period waved her hand, and a maple-red enchantment appeared.
There was a burning smell of paste from the place where the fists and palms met, and Hao Zhao, who had retreated more than a dozen steps, saw some blackened joints in his hands, and secretly smiled bitterly, the strength of the sixth order of the body refining period should not be underestimated, and Duanmu Yuyang surpassed Hao Zhao by a large margin in terms of strength and strength.
Besides, there is no place to borrow power around here, and the Nine Waves can't be used at all.
Huangfu Bohu sat in the stands, seeing Hao Zhao's arm burned, his heart was happy, but he was not satisfied with this result, he sneered: "Those who offend the royal family will be killed!" ”
The Flame Palm locked on Hao Zhao again, and Duanmu Yuyang was obviously the killer.
Just when Hao Zhao was about to use the space black hole, a beautiful girl in a pink gauze skirt suddenly opened her arms and blocked in front of Hao Zhao.
"Stop!"
After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Duanmu Yuyang was startled, hurriedly collected his skills, stood in place, his palm was only an inch away from the beautiful girl, he didn't want to be counterattacked, spit out a mouthful of blood, and only said "I grass!" Then he fainted.
"Chu Ruxue, you ......"
The bewitching girl glared at Chu Ruxue angrily, dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say it.
For the ordinary people of the White Tiger Empire, the Shen Mansion may not be famous, but for the high-level nobles of the White Tiger Empire, the Shen Mansion is a transcendent existence in the White Tiger Empire, because of Xuanwu Mountain, the royal family of the White Tiger Empire does not dare to provoke the people of the Shen Mansion easily.
The bewitching girl remembered her sister's words, glanced at her nephew, and could only swallow her anger, so she summoned two scholar-like people and carried Duanmu Yuyang down.
Huangfu Bohu's handsome face was covered with sunshine again, and he said helplessly, "Ruxue, they are normal duels, you ...... Unfair. ”
When the girl heard this, she was immediately unhappy, crossed her hands on her hips, and said loudly: "You still want to bluff me? The sixth order of the refining period has already quenched the heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and has greatly improved in terms of strength, speed and agility, and against the first order of the refining period that has not even been successfully tempered by the body, it is embarrassing to say that it is fair, and the most important thing is that he has also killed twice, if it really disturbs my grandfather's birthday, you can think about the consequences. ”
“……”
Huangfu Bohu's face was white and red for a while, a dignified imperial prince was reprimanded by a girl younger than himself in front of everyone, if he ascended to the status in the future, wouldn't it make people laugh off his big teeth.
"Ruxue, you're right, we didn't think about it before, but this matter can't be just settled, how can the royal reputation be slandered by that wild boy?" Huangfu Bohu said to Chu Ruxue.
"What reputation to discredit?" Chu Ruxue's pure big eyes flashed with doubt.
The people around them began to whisper, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about this bold topic.
He said, he said...... "Huangfu Bohu's imperial aunt was so angry that her face was flushed, and she pointed at Hao Zhao, but she was embarrassed to say that."
Huangfu Bohu pretended to have the world in mind, after all, Chu Ruxue was there.
He smiled and said, "Aunt Huang, how can what the child said be true? If we were to be as knowledgeable as he was, wouldn't it be as he wished? ”
After hearing this, Hao Zhao couldn't help but look at this gentleman with admiration, just two sentences, not only resolved the embarrassment of the royal family, but also showed his bearing, high moves!
"But," Huangfu Bohu paused, and then stared at Hao Zhao with his eyes like torches, "He did say nonsense that insulted the royal family, for Ruxue's sake, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
"Yes," a spark of pleasure appeared in his aunt's eyes again.
"What do you want?" Chu Ruxue asked.
"It's not good, as long as he kneels down and admits his mistake, the matter will be over, otherwise it will be trouble to the teacher, and Bo Hu is also justified."
The teacher mentioned by Huangfu Bohu is named Shen Yueyang, who is Chu Ruxue's second uncle, and is also the current head of the Shen family, the crown prince and the prince, the hereditary earl of the White Tiger Empire, who has always been unsmiling and very strict with his children, and is the person Chu Ruxue is most afraid of.
When Chu Ruxue heard this, she instantly became like a frosted eggplant, so she had to wink at Hao Zhao with wide eyes, meaning that you should be soft, little brother.
Hao Zhao turned a blind eye, it was okay to ask him for his life, but it was absolutely impossible for him to submit to authority.
"Just say it, what can they do to me, what I don't like the most is this kind of person who uses his royal status to show off his might." Hao Zhao's bloody nature was also stimulated.
"You..."Chu Ruxue was angry that the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, so she simply flicked her sleeves, "I don't care about you!" ”
You will suffer the great sin of slandering the royal family.
"Unashamed boy, I'll let you see what happens if you offend the White Tiger Royal Family!"
