Chapter 414: The Royal Palace
The silver moon hung high in the sky, and the green smoke of the moonlight poured down, shining on the face of the slender figure outside the hall, it was a stunning face, if it were not for the eyebrows locked, it would be even more ethereal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"People who cultivate the Buddha and cultivate the heart are actually pinned on the ethereal providence, which is ridiculous......"
Beauty sighed bitterly and walked up, her steps were fast, but firm, and she slowly sank into the darkness......
The night market in Yangzhou City is still crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and the sound of selling and shouting is endless, but compared with the daytime, there are more merchants and farmers in the flow of people, and there are fewer sword-wielding heroes.
Although this phenomenon made many people applaud, it made the owners of restaurants and shops beat their chests, just because they made less money, and as time went by, things made them cry and mourn.
I saw half of the heroes of the rivers and lakes walking out of the restaurants and inns one after another, as if they had agreed, gathering somewhere in the west of the city.
There are people who go alone, there are groups of three or five, and there are those who are dressed in the same costumes...... In short, everyone was beaming, like a New Year, moving forward with laughter, even people who don't know each other can chat for a word or two.
Because they are all talking about the same topic, "Shang Xiufang's performance".
Not bad! Not long after, Shang Xiufang, the world's No. 1 performer, performed in the 'Zhishilang' Wang Bo Courtyard, and these heroes were invited to watch.
Wang Bo is not simple, not only enjoys the reputation of 'whip king' in the martial arts, but also has a prominent reputation in the land of China.
In the past, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, recruited the people to accompany the army, Wang Bo called himself "Zhishilang", in the area of Changbai Mountain, created "The Song of Death of the Waves of Liaodong Waves", calling on the people to refuse to go out and join the rebel army.
It can be said that Wang Bo was the first person to uncover the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he was famous in the north, especially Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande and others.
This time, Ning Daoqi and Song Que made an appointment to fight in Yangzhou, Wang Bo did not want to be in danger of his own safety, and he followed everything aside, one was to witness the battle of the great grandmaster, and the other was to hold a hero banquet.
And the introduction of this hero's banquet was to invite Shang Xiufang to perform.
If you want to talk about the stars of the Tang Dynasty, there are only two people in total, one is Shi Qingxuan, the master of Xiao Yi, and the other is Shang Xiufang, the number one player in the world.
Shang Xiufang's talent, appearance, and cultivation are extremely good, and at the same time he is also a pacifist, busy running and performing all day long, although he is the first trick in the world, but he does not sell his body, and his identity is extremely mysterious.
West of the city, the palace courtyard.
This annex covers an extremely large area, surrounded by hundreds of ancient trees, and the design of the village is even more distinctive, with pavilions, garden paths, rockery streams, and houses scattered one after another, overlapping and overlapping, which is more than enough to receive thousands of guests.
Thanks to the battle between the two grandmasters, there are countless heroes from all walks of life who came to watch the battle, and the leaders and leaders who were invited to participate in the hero's banquet were as many as nearly a thousand, not counting the entourage, which shows Wang Bo's prestige and wealth.
At this time, some of the invited leaders had already arrived, and there were already greeters at the gate of the courtyard, they were brightly dressed and cautious and respectful, and after carefully examining the invitations, there were servants bowing down to lead the way.
There was a young man in front of the door, he was about twenty-three or four years old, dressed in purple, slender and strong, with a high and straight nose, and he looked good, but unfortunately his eyes were unusually narrow, and they were extremely disproportionate to the whole appearance, which made people look very uncomfortable.
The eye-catching place is the glittering eyes in his fine eyes, he is Wang Bo's only son 'Thunder Knife' Wang Kuijie.
Every time a guest came, Wang Kuijie stepped forward to greet him, his expression was very respectful, and his words were gentle, showing the demeanor of a wealthy nobleman.
In fact, there is no need for Wang Kuijie to come out to greet guests in person for such a scene, but because his father Wang Bo personally instructed him to wait for the arrival of the group here.
Wang Kuijie greeted the guests with warm words, and waited patiently, wondering why he hadn't come yet.
At this moment, a high song was sung.
"Nanhai faction, Nanhai Immortal Weng Chao Gong is wrong!"
I saw a burly and slightly fat old man with a swollen belly, a bald head and a white beard, gray eyebrows, and a kind face, and a gentle face slowly approaching with several young men.
"Chao Lao ......"
Many of the guests around bowed their hands, obviously Chao Gong's mistake was not small.
Chao Gongcuo is a very high senior, almost the same as the great master Ning Dao, and his martial arts are even more superb, ranking among the top ten masters in the Central Plains.
It is rumored that he once fought with Ning Daoqi on the Leizhou Peninsula, and Chao Gongcuo was defeated by Ning Daoqi's stunt at the bottom of the box "Eight Blows" outside of a hundred moves.
Wang Kuijie hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down to greet him, and immediately ordered the clever servants to lead the way.
With the arrival of Chao Gongcuo, many forces also came, such as the Eight Gangs and Ten Societies, the Overseas Dongming Faction, the Nanyang Three Gangs and the Four Associations, the Yangtze River Federation and other local sects.
It didn't take long for the leaders of the warlords in various places to arrive, such as Du Fuwei, Zhai Jiao, Wang Xuanshu, Liu Heimin, Li Zitong, and Wei Chi Sheng, the governor of Yangzhou.
Subsequently, the real big forces came, the four major valves in the world, the representative of Hoover, the representative of the Demon Gate, and even the masters of the Daomen.
Wang Kuijie was busy dizzy, his waist was bent, and the corners of his mouth were habitually upturned, as if he had the disease of a professional model, but the group he was waiting for had not yet arrived.
"Childe, look, are those two people waiting for you!"
Wang Kuijie pointed and looked, only to see a man and a woman talking to each other and walking slowly, he recognized the woman at a glance, because the other party's invitation was sent by him personally, without saying a word, trotted up to meet him.
"The mall owner Phoenix has arrived, and the boy Kaisuke has been waiting for a long time."
Before he reached the two of them, Wang Kuijie bowed his hand, bent his waist to ninety degrees, and was extremely respectful to Shang Xiuxun, who was incomparably different in age, as for the tall man next to him, he and Ben didn't dare to look up.
After a closer look, I saw that Wang Kuisuke's legs were trembling, I don't know if he was excited, or afraid, or maybe he was tired of standing and couldn't help it.
Looking at this noble son who called himself a kid and looked a pity, Shang Xiuxun grinned at the man next to him, waved his hand and said, "Okay, lead the way!" ”
"Yes!"
Wang Kuijie lowered his head and turned around, walking respectfully, looking like a servant, where he passed, the surrounding guests were surprised, and they couldn't help but speculate, could it be that there was something wrong with Wang Gongzi's waist? But there are also some people who are shocked by each other......
Ji An was dressed in a green robe, shaking a folding fan, looking like a turbid son, browsing the surrounding scenery while walking, and talking to Shang Xiuxun from time to time.
Speaking of which, he had just learned about Wang Bo's invitation to Shang Xiufang to perform in Yangzhou.
After explaining the matter to Wan Wan, he went back to the house to run in his true qi, lay a solid foundation, and after the completion of the exercises, he was already in the middle of the moon, and was pulled by Shang Xiuxun, who had been waiting for a long time, to watch the performance.
Actually, Ji An didn't want to come, he thought that Shang Xiufang was just a play, even if he was beautiful and performed, he couldn't arouse his interest, but he underestimated the fan craze of this era, Shang Xiuxun cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and shouted that she wanted to find her sister Yuer to accompany her to watch.
Ji An was helpless, so after watching the duel between the two grandmasters tomorrow, he parted ways with Shang Xiuxun and agreed.
Frankly speaking, Shang Xiufang didn't mention his interest, but this hero banquet aroused his **, he also wanted to see heroes and heroes from all over the world, maybe he could gain something.
The place where Wang Bo feasted was the "Zhibian Pavilion" behind the main hall, and the name was taken from the meaning of "predicting that the situation in the world would change", which complemented his name of "Zhishilang".
This pavilion is formed by four five-storey heavy buildings in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and encloses the garden of 50 zhang in the middle.
There are more than 20 wings on each floor of the building, and there are windows and terraces on the side facing the garden, so that the people in the wings can have a clear view of the middle garden.
The buildings in the palace courtyard are elegant, simple, delicate and beautiful, and because of Yang Guang's reasons, they also bring some sense of luxury and magnificence in the north and grand scale.
"Zhibian Pavilion" fully embodies the combination and application of "separation" and "transparency", and gives full play to a huge, strict and closed sense of virtual reality.
Although the building is the main body, in essence, it takes the middle garden as the soul, combining the inside and outside space into a whole, and creating an infinite artistic conception with limited space.
There is a semi-corridor on the side of the heavy building facing the middle garden, which not only strengthens the sense of space in the middle garden, but also further connects the four heavy buildings.
At the heart of the garden is a large fish pond, which adds to the exciting vitality of the space.
The open space around the pond is covered with verdant green grass and artificial streams, and the gravel path winds around the pond, and when viewed from above, you can see the beautiful pattern of the path and green grass.
When the path is connected to the stream, it becomes a small arched bridge, so that the whole landscape will not fall into monotony.
Whether there is a performance or a duel in the garden, people in the four sides of the heavy building can watch it at the same time.
The more Ji An walked, the more he felt that this place did not look like a courtyard, but like a commercial performance venue, which was somewhat similar to the layout of the small stadium in later generations.
Shang Xiuxun also had this idea, and couldn't help but ask Wang Kuijie, who led the way, and only after his introduction did he understand.
It turned out that this place was really a large Qinglou club, after the boss was killed by the enemy, the people in the building dispersed, and it was supposed to be bought by the Baling Gang, but it was finally bought by Wang Bo.
Ji An shook his head and sighed, this Wang Bo's financial resources are not small, and he still knows how to enjoy it when he is old, it's weird!
The two followed Wang Kuijie to the wing building in the east.
At this time, each wing room of the four five-story pavilions is brightly lit, and the semi-corridor around the garden hangs the palace lantern every few steps, reflecting the whole middle garden as bright as day, plus the noisy voice, the atmosphere is hot and boiling.
The beautiful women dressed up in the corridor are dazzling to see between the various wings.
The two walked to a gorgeous wing room on the top floor, Wang Kuijie lowered his head and pointed, but he didn't speak, Ji Anxin understood, waved him down, and pushed the door and walked in. (To be continued.) )
