Chapter 376: Confrontation at the Dinner Party (Part II)

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I am an outsider, and I am really not interested in the title, besides, Yushi is a retainer of His Majesty, I really can't overstep my bounds!" Xiao Tian bowed his hand and thanked him.

"Alas, Lone knows that no matter how much official position I give you, you will refuse!" Emperor Yongle's face was full of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, why should you worry, you have countless civil ministers and military generals under your command, and they will naturally do their best to assist Your Majesty!" Xiao Tian looked at the ministers around him and said loudly.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and Lone doesn't force you!" Emperor Yongle looked at Xiao Tian and said in a condensed voice, "However, Lone hopes that you will remember that you have the blood of the Wind Country!"

"Boy, remember!" Xiao Tian nodded and replied.

"Okay, let's have a banquet!" Emperor Yongle had a smile on his face, although he couldn't keep Xiao Tian as an official, but it also narrowed the distance between the two!

"Bell~!"

As soon as the bell rang, the maids brought the delicacies of the mountains and seas to each table!

The dishes are divided into three kinds, one is auspicious dishes, Shoubi Nanshan, auspicious Ruyi, and Tiangong blessing; the second is tribute dishes, such as bear's paws, bird's nest, shark fin, lobster, and deer breast; the third is regular dishes, other mountain and sea delicacies, and there are a total of 36 dishes on each table!

Looking at the yellow flesh of the bear's paw and smelling the tempting fragrance, Xiao Tian couldn't help but pick up a piece and swallow it in one bite, the meat was soft and chewy, the juice instantly melted into his mouth, and a sweet taste entered his heart and spleen, which was delicious!

At the same time, on the top of the main hall, a group of beautiful women walked in, wearing colorful clothes and light yarns, dancing to the royal music!

That graceful posture, that light pace and that beautiful music, it seems to be the highest art in the world, and Xiao Tian can't help but clap and shout for it after several performances!

After that, Zhu Yichen, the secretary of the military department, looked at the exotic divine dog in front of the palace gate, a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I found a problem before, and I can't figure it out, I want to ask Duke Long, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

Emperor Yongle, his eyebrows were lightly raised, and a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, "Yes, you can ask, if you have any questions, just ask!"

"Since ancient times, wolves have been ferocious and cunning, but dogs have a very gentle and approachable temperament. However, their appearance is very similar, I can't tell the difference, you look at this exotic monster in front of the door, is he a wolf? is it a dog? Lord Long, Long Shilang, do you say that the wolf (Shilang) is a dog?" Zhu Yichen finished speaking, with a hint of banter in his eyes.

Hearing this, the ministers present reacted, and they all looked at Long Xiande gloatingly, Zhu Yichen was obviously biting the word Wenjue and scolding Long Xiande in a different way!

Long Xiande's natural way fell into the other party's text trap, and he was quite annoyed in his heart.

Xiao Tian looked at Zhu Yichen's smug appearance, rolled his eyes, and said loudly, "Uncle Long, this question is simple, I'll help you answer it!"

Long Xiande raised his head and looked at Xiao Tian with puzzled eyes, Xiao Tian nodded, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Zhu, if you want to tell if it's a wolf or a dog, it's very simple, just look at the tail!" Xiao Tian walked straight to the side of the exotic demonic beast and said with a smile: "Lord Shangshu, you see, the wolf's tail is combed down, the dog's tail is combed up, Zhu Shangshu, the upper comb (Shangshu) is a dog!"

Hearing this, Long Xiande suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and echoed, "Lord Shangshu, the upper comb is a dog, remember?"

Zhu Yichen's face turned pale, and he returned to his seat without saying a word. The other officials in the court saw that Zhu Yichen was deflated, and the corners of their mouths also leaked a hint of a smile.

The dinner continued, and after three rounds of drinking, many of the guests were already drunk.

At this moment, Sima Guoshi squinted his eyes and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Xiao Tian's little brother has obtained the true inheritance of the Elder in the Sky, and his martial arts are extraordinary, and Wei Chen is itchy for a while, and I want to have a discussion with him, I hope Your Majesty will give me permission!"

Xiao Tian's heart sank, gritted his teeth, and scolded in his heart, "This old miscellaneous hair is still difficult for himself, I fork your old lady, yin me in front of me, there are many eyes and ears in the court, I really don't want to expose my hidden strength, otherwise, I will definitely let your old miscellaneous hair peel!"

Hearing this, a group of officials below seemed to be watching a good show.

"This"

Emperor Yongle hesitated for a moment, revealing a hint of embarrassment. After all, Sima Guoshi is an important minister of the country, and it is not easy for him to save face, but Xiao Tian is the descendant of the Seven Peaks Sword Sect, in case he is injured, and the Seven Peaks Sword Sect Xingshi asks for the guilt, how can he bear it.

Hearing this, Long Xiande frowned slightly, and immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the national teacher is the Venerable of the Stars, and Xiao Tian is just a silver warrior, the two are not at the same level at all, if it is passed out, others will say that the national teacher bullies the small with the big, I am afraid that the reputation of the national teacher is not good, besides, today is Your Majesty's birthday, it is really not suitable to dance the sword and move the gun!"

"That's right, Duke Long has a point!" Emperor Yongle grinned, glanced at Long Xiande, and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, the fourth prince Xuankong immediately stepped forward, looked at Long Xiande and said loudly, "Lord Long, don't worry, today is just a discussion, stop at the point, the national teacher will definitely not hurt him, besides, the national teacher is the Venerable Xingchen, if he instructs him, presumably Xiao Tian will have a lot of gains, which is also his honor!"

The fourth prince, Xuankong, raised his head and looked at the Yongle Emperor, and said loudly, "Please also ask for your father's permission?"

Sima Guoshi nodded at the Four Princes, a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly, "Your Majesty, maybe Brother Xiao Tianxiao also wants to fight with me, unless he is a member of the Seven Peaks Sword Sect, he doesn't have the courage!"

"This" Emperor Yongle showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

Li Tianhao raised his wine glass and drank it all, his face was full of disdain, and he said loudly, "Sima Lao'er, are you embarrassed to bully juniors like this?"

"Sect Master Li, this is a mistake, the national teacher's move is naturally for Xiao Tian's little brother's cultivation, how can it be said that he is bullying him?" Zhu Yichen said with a smile, a trace of concealment leaked out of the corner of his eyes!

Li Tianhao turned his head and glared angrily, "Boy, the old man speaks, what qualifications do you have to interject? Believe it or not, I slashed you with a sword?"

Seeing Li Tianhao's appearance, Zhu Yichen was stunned and hurriedly retreated!

Sima Guoshi, looking at Li Tianhao, a sneer leaked from the corner of his mouth, "Grandmaster Li, let's still see, what Xiao Tian means, right?"

"In this case, the national teacher is so elegant, Xiao Tian should accompany him, but my strength is low, if the spiritual energy leaks and destroys this hall, I can't be blamed!" Xiao Tian replied.

"Don't worry, there is an old man here, this Taihe Hall, and everyone present, the old man can take care of it!" Sima Guoshi squinted his eyes and said loudly. (s:) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
