Chapter 333: The Banquet Begins
It was just a place for these young people to gather, but now with the arrival of Emperor Xia, the banquet can be regarded as the real beginning.
This banquet was held by the Xia Emperor to celebrate the first hunt of the Beast King by the Great Xia Dynasty, and the whole world celebrated.
The whole place was rearranged in an instant.
The middle is empty, and there are desks all around, and there are three rows in each direction.
Since this mountain peak is large enough, it can accommodate thousands of people here, and there are two banquets on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain at the same time.
On the entire Cangshan Mountain, Emperor Xia invited representatives from all walks of life, which was a grand event.
As for the top of this mountain, it can be said that they are the most noble group of people in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
This banquet is also because of the convenience of the centennial celebration, and there are enough people to come, and there are two princes.
Among them is the crown prince from the Ugin Dynasty.
This crown prince can be said to be the first appearance in front of the five major dynasties.
In the centennial celebration of the Great Xia Dynasty, the other party can let this mysterious prince appear, which can be regarded as giving the Great Xia Dynasty enough face.
The Ugin Dynasty, the most mysterious of the five dynasties, this dynasty is too mysterious, and it was established in a very short time, about the same time as the establishment of the Jinyao Dynasty.
You must know that behind the Jin Yao Dynasty, there is the support of the Jin Wu clan, which is the treatment of a godson.
And the Ugin Dynasty, there is no such big money lord to hold, purely relying on their own strong strength.
The establishment of the Wujin Dynasty also surprised everyone, at that time, the Golden Crow and the Phoenix were fighting upside down, the entire Southern Wilderness became a pot of porridge, and more than a dozen small kingdoms suddenly collapsed, and then the Ugin Dynasty was announced to be established, and the royal family of this dynasty was surnamed Zhao, and it seemed that he was not a person from the Southern Wilderness before.
In short, for the Ugin Dynasty, the attitude of the four major dynasties is still cautious and vigilant.
Among the five major dynasties, in fact, the human beings who respected the Golden Crow as a divine beast, except for the Jin Yao Empire, belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty with the most people.
Although the Luoyu Dynasty finally surrendered and respected the Golden Crow as the Zhenguo Divine Beast, it may be because this is the third Zhenguo Divine Beast they chose, and there are not many people who worship and give incense.
Until now, there are still people from the Luoyu Dynasty, who respect Xuanhe as a divine beast, and there are also a lot of incense from the Phoenix clan.
As for the Wujin Dynasty, although it also respects the Golden Crow as a divine beast of the Zhenguo, it is just a false name, and the Wujin Dynasty gives people the feeling as if they don't take the Jinwu clan in their eyes at all.
For such a thing as worshipping divine beasts, the Ugin Dynasty has never been very enthusiastic.
And the Great Xia Dynasty, even at this time, still insists on using the phoenix as a totemic symbol of the divine beast of the Zhenguo.
The entire royal family is a branch of the Phoenix clan, the blood of the fire lark.
The crown prince of the Ugin Dynasty had been protected within their dynasty and had never been seen, and this was the first time he had appeared.
As for the other crown prince, it is from the Jin Yao Dynasty.
When the two princes appeared with Emperor Xia, it was time for the banquet to begin.
This banquet was held on the grounds that Qin Mu and the others had killed the Python Beast King, as representatives of their group of people, Qin Mu and the three of them could naturally sit with the prince and the two princes in the Xia Emperor.
The middle position in the east is naturally Emperor Xia's, and on his left and right sides are the two princes, and then the princes and princes.
As for Qin Mu and others, they sat in the second row, and this row was mostly Hou Ye like Qin Mu, distinguished guests from various countries such as Chen Gongzi and others, as well as princes and ministers.
In the third row, there are concubines and their dependents.
And Qin Mu and the others sat behind Emperor Xia, in the middle position.
As for the west, the magnates of the Great Xia Dynasty were located, and the guests of the other four kingdoms were made on the north and south sides.
Right in the middle is a huge clearing.
Naturally, performances are indispensable at the banquet.
A group of young girls in colorful clothes fell from the sky accompanied by pieces of flowers.
In front of him, Emperor Xia was talking to the two princes with a smile, and because the distance was too close, Qin Mu couldn't listen to it if he didn't want to.
Emperor Xia smiled and said to the two princes beside him: "It's the first time for the two princes to come to my Great Xia Dynasty, have you been used to staying recently?"
The crown prince of the Wujin Dynasty, with a white complexion, thin and weak, looks more like a scholar, polite, named Zhao Li, and bowed to Emperor Xia when he heard this, "The last few days in the imperial capital have been much more interesting than what I have spent in the palace, and I would like to thank Emperor Xia for his hospitality." "
Emperor Xia smiled and nodded, "If you have any needs, you will definitely be satisfied with Prince Li." "
On the other side, the crown prince of the Golden Crow Dynasty is named Jin Zheng, a white fat man, and he glanced at Zhao Li with great disdain when he heard this, "Your Wujin Dynasty is too bad, the grand palace is not as prosperous as the outer city of the Great Xia Dynasty, but my Jin Yao Empire is more than ten times more prosperous than the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty." "
This Jin Zheng looked extremely proud, even in front of Emperor Xia, he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he spoke loudly.
Qin Mu, who was watching the performance with relish behind him, also glanced at the other party when he heard this.
As an elder, although Emperor Xia was a little displeased when he heard this, he didn't show it.
And Zhao Li on the other side didn't even care, and just nodded with a smile after listening to Jin Zheng's words, "What Prince Jin said is that he will definitely visit your country if he has the opportunity." "
Qin Mu sat behind him and not only glanced at this Prince Zhao Li, he didn't expect the other party to be so calm, Prince Jin Zheng's provocation didn't seem to make him angry at all.
This forbearance is really rare.
Prince Jin Zheng, who was on the other side of Emperor Xia, raised his eyebrows, and also glanced at the other party without speaking.
The performances continue one by one, the whole performance will continue until dark, in the afternoon, a bonfire will be added in the middle, the python beast king has already been slaughtered, the dragon feast, the natural staple food is this python beast king, this is basically the process of the whole banquet.
The first show has just ended, the second has just begun, it was a vaudeville show, and the performance was also extremely exciting, and the applause continued.
Jin Zheng, who was next to Emperor Xia, suddenly turned his head to look at Emperor Xia, "Your Majesty, are all banquet performances like this?"
"En?" Emperor Xia was stunned, turned his head to look at Jin Zheng, and asked, "What, Prince Zheng doesn't like it?"
When Jin Zheng heard this, he shook his head with a look of regret, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, this kind of performance can really be said to be extremely boring." "
Emperor Xia's face was a little unswerving, but he still asked calmly: "Then I don't know what show Prince Zheng wants to watch, I will arrange it." "
Kim Jong-do: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need for any special arrangements, I think there is no performance more exciting than a fight." "
"Oh?"
"Then I don't know what Prince Zheng wants to compare?"
"Fighting Dan, fighting fire, fighting charms, fighting beasts, you can do it!" Kim Zhengdao.
"The Great Xia Dynasty is full of talents, and this prince has also brought some good hands, they can perform to cheer everyone up, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" said with his eyes shining.
Qin Mu sat behind him and heard it clearly, although he also watched the current performance with relish, but to be honest, it was really not more interesting than Dou.
Although Qin Mu also saw that this Prince Jin Zheng was provoking everywhere, but in his heart he hoped that Emperor Xia would agree.
The prince next to Prince Jin Zheng naturally heard it clearly.
"What do you think?" Emperor Xia did not answer Prince Jin Zheng's words, and turned to ask the princes beside him.
The eldest prince snorted coldly, "Then let's fight, there's nothing to say." "
The second prince hesitated, "It's too rushed, it's better to change the day." "
The two of them were obviously the most favorable contenders for the throne, and after listening to their words, Qin Mu shook his head in his heart, this Prince Jin Zheng of the Jin Yao Dynasty was obviously prepared, and he had already planned to do so.
Such a simple point, obviously everyone can see that the eldest prince does not lose the battle, he is brave and lacking in wisdom.
And the second prince, showing that he knows the stakes and is unwilling to make such a hasty decision, although this approach seems to be safe, at this time he has lost his enterprising spirit and has lost his sharpness.
The princes behind him are basically the answers of these two, and there is nothing new.
When he arrived at the Eighth Prince, he muttered and said: "Prince Jin Zheng has this interest, my Great Xia Dynasty is naturally satisfied, Doudan, Douhu, Doufu, Beast, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has set the scope of the competition, then how will the order be determined by us?"
Since the other party has drawn the way, if you don't take it at this time, you have to take it, otherwise the huge dynasty won't make people laugh, it's just a game that you must lose, and in the end it's still a joke.
The words of the Eighth Prince obviously made the Xia Emperor extremely satisfied, you set the range, and the order of the competition was naturally decided by the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After all, this is the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the masters are like clouds, it is impossible for them all to come to the Canglong Banquet, and if the order is set, the masters here can compare this first, and then urgently find the masters in this aspect in the imperial capital.
"Just do what the Eighth Prince said. Emperor Xia nodded and said.
"I haven't seen the masters of the Ugin Dynasty yet, so let's let them play too. Jin Zheng said to Zhao Li again.
Zhao Li shook his head, "I didn't come out to bring many people this time, and they weren't sure to win, so they didn't come out to show their ugliness." "
At this time, the second program was almost over, and when the second program ended, a person next to Xia Huang instantly ran to the field to announce the matter, and the people around him heard the words and immediately whispered, but they couldn't hide their excitement.
The fight is obviously a little more exciting.
Fighting Dan, fighting charms, fighting fire, fighting beasts!
This is the order of the competition.
"The first round of Dou Dan begins!"
Dou Dan is a kind of pill used by both parties, and when the pill is completed, it depends on the quality of the pill.
When the pill is formed, there will be a stripe on the surface, one line is a pindan, and two lines are a pindan, the more lines, the better the quality, and the common condition is determined according to the length of time it has been baked.
The two Dan furnaces were carried up, and out of the Jin Yao Dynasty was a tall and thin old man, with white hair and yellow clothes, with a proud face.
And the one who came out of the Great Xia Dynasty was a person from Fuzhou, although Qin Mu didn't know him, he had also met a few times.
Coming from one of the several major sects in Fuzhou, I didn't expect that alchemy was also a good hand.
Qin Mu had seen very little about alchemy, and he was also watching it with interest at this time.
The two of them used different fires, and they kept drawing various runes in their hands and slapping them on the Dan furnace, and the two of them practiced a second-grade pill.
Almost half an hour later, the old man in yellow from the Jin Yao Dynasty stood up first.
When the lid was opened, a strange fragrance came to the nostrils, and this second-grade pill was actually practiced into a third-grade pill by the other party.
On the other side, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty also stood up, and at this time, the three-rank pill had just been taken out.
Seeing this three-pin pill, this Dan Master knew that he had lost.
He only had a second-grade pill in his Dan Furnace, and he couldn't break through the boundary.
The first round was lost like this.
In the second round of fighting talismans, although Fu Zhou was full of talismans, the degree of power was far from that of the people in the dynasty.
What everyone didn't expect was that this time he was defeated again, and he had lost twice in a row, even Emperor Xia's face was a little difficult to look at.
"The third game, fighting fire!"
At this moment, Prince Jin Zheng suddenly said to Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, this prince heard that your country was able to kill the Python Beast King, and it was the Marquis of Zhencang who relied on the divine fire to kill him, presumably his divine fire is extremely powerful, why don't you let this person go this round?"
Qin Mu was stunned behind him, and he didn't expect to pull it on his body at once.
Seeing that everyone looked over, Qin Mu frowned, he didn't have any intention of making such a show, and was about to refuse, but when he saw the eldest prince on the side, he suddenly said: "I think I can let the Marquis of Zhencang fight, and the Marquis of Zhencang can kill the Beast King, and the competition is naturally not a problem." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it's okay!" King Cang suddenly said in a loud voice.
The voices sounded one after another, and they all let Qin Mu fight.
A wave of anger rose in Qin Mu's heart in vain.
With so many people recommending it, Emperor Xia frowned, and was about to say something, but Qin Mu behind him suddenly stood up, "Since Prince Jin Zheng wants to see it, let's compare it to the last one!"
