Chapter 90: The Dragon Hall Dinner

The sound of horses' hooves rushed in, and a streak of green streaked through the night, disappearing into the distance like a shooting star. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Tian had been running for several hours in a row, during which she only briefly replenished the lost water at the stream beside the road, and then rushed back to Mu Zhidu without stopping, and she wanted to relay the news she had accidentally learned in Qingyun City to the city lord as soon as possible.

When the moon was at the highest point in the sky, she finally saw a green wall, made of hard green stone, reflecting the moon's green glow. As for why the expensive green horse stone was chosen among so many urban construction stones, it was mainly because the lord of Makino liked the green color it emitted in the moonlight, even if he would not come out to see it a few times a year.

When Mu Tian approached the city, a familiar smell was inhaled into the spleen and lungs, it was the smell of home. The green flag is fluttering overhead, and the trees and stars are still accompanying each other.

Not far away, two soldiers guarding the city stood on either side of the gate, one on the left and one on the right, but they didn't seem to notice anyone approaching. When Mu Tian approached, he realized that the two soldiers defending the city had already dozed off.

Seeing this, Mu Tian's mood when he went home suddenly became extremely cold. Defending the city like this, not to mention the enemy's sneak attack, is even a blatant attack is a breeze.

Anger arose from his heart, and the long whip on Mu Tian's waist instantly wrapped around his hand, and the volley sounded in the air. The sound of the whip was like thunder on a sunny day, and the two napping soldiers woke up.

"What man!" the two startled soldiers drew their swords from their waists and held them in their hands, looking at the comer with sleepy eyes. When they found a pretty little girl in front of them, their tense nerves relaxed. However, when they took a closer look, they found that this was not an ordinary little girl, but actually a young lady Mu Tian who went to Qingyun City Dragon Valley with the young city lord more than a month ago to be promoted.

The two of them were completely stunned, because there had been no news of Miss Mu Tian since she went to Dragon Valley for promotion. And the young city lord of Mulun, who went to Dragon Valley with her, had already returned, although he was not promoted to the rank of leader, but at least he came back alive. In private, everyone talked about it, saying that she had died in Dragon Valley, and this matter had become the backlash of the city lord, as long as someone mentioned it, he would be angry, and anyone with a discerning eye knew why.

"Shepherd...... Mu Tian Xiao...... Miss?" one of the soldiers stammered, his tone questioning, as the sword in his hand scrambled back to his waist.

"I know it's me, why don't you open the city gate quickly!" Mu Tian's crisp voice made the two of them tremble.

The other finally came to his senses, so he hurriedly fired a waist order to open the door to the watchtower in the distance, and it didn't take long for the heavy gates to slowly open.

Mu Tian sat on the horse again, his slender legs pressed on the stirrups, and said to the two soldiers who were still a little incredulous: "Immediately send a team of men and horses to guard the city gate, and then send a team of men and horses to patrol within a range of ten miles outside the city.

In the end, Mu Tian seemed to be admonishing the two soldiers guarding the city, and seemed to say to himself: "The enemy is coming!"

After saying that, Mu Tian rode towards the city, and behind her was followed by a touch of green.

Similar to the Cloud Palace, where the officials and nobles of Qingyun City lived, the Makinocapital also had a luxurious area for the lords and nobles of the city, called the Green Floating Palace. The whole palace is very special because it is completely elevated from the ground, built against a huge ancient tree, and is connected to the palace by only a wide arch bridge. It is said that this ancient tree has a history of 1,000 years and was born with this world, and every year new branches grow on this ancient tree to shelter the humans living below, but perhaps what it did not expect is that one day people will build a vast palace above it.

"What?!You say it again!" Makino's shrill roar echoed through a room deep in the Green Floating Palace.

"City ...... Lord of the City, Miss Mu Tian is back...... I want to see you immediately. The guard in front of Makino bent his waist almost parallel to the ground and repeated what he had just said.

"Did she come back on her own?" asked Makino hurriedly.

"And a dragon...... A green dragon. The guard said tremblingly.

Makino's eyes dilated, he was stunned for a second, and then suddenly laughed out loud, laughing for more than ten seconds, and finally stopped.

"Go, summon all the ministers and nobles of the Pastik Capital, and inform them to meet in the Dragon Hall, so that they too can see the dawn of the future of the Pastik Capital. Makino still had a smug smile on his face.

"Lord of the Castle...... It's so late, I'm afraid ......" The guard cautiously probed.

Feeling the guard's hesitation, the smugness on Makino's face disappeared instantly.

"I'm afraid of what?!, such a gratifying thing, tell them to climb for me even if they climb!" Makino snapped.

The guards only nodded yes without bowing, and quickly retreated, but they were worried in their hearts, thinking about how to deal with those tricky and difficult ministers for a while......

Only half an hour had passed since the guards had informed him, and the Dragon Hall was already full of nobles, with long tables on both sides of the hall filled with wine and fruits, and the hall was full of singing and dancing. On both sides of the long table sat the important ministers of various positions in the capital of the pasture, some with sleepy eyes, some with drunkenness before they came, and some still had unfading red lip marks on their necks. But without exception, they all wore flattering smiles at this time, pushing their cups and changing lamps.

They all heard the news and knew that Mu Tian was back, and they also knew the purpose of coming to the Dragon Hall.

Ever since it was built hundreds of years ago, this dragon hall has been a place to celebrate the promotion of warriors to the throne of the city. Moreover, the dragon hall is extremely wide, more than ten meters high and dozens of meters wide, just to let people who come to celebrate have a glimpse of the dragon.

Makino sat on a bench at the end of the dragon hall, drinking wine with a spring on his face.

Sitting on the left is his son, Mu Lun, who went to Dragon Valley with Mu Tian more than a month ago, but returned first. He wore a green silk robe with the family crest of the capital of the pasture embroidered on it, and the stars were shining. However, his face was not so good, and he looked at the ministers in the field with a cold and disgusted expression. Maybe a month ago he was still a gentleman, but now he is definitely not, and the experience of Dragon Valley is like a rebirth to him.

Sitting on the left side of Mu Lun is Mu Qing, a university scholar in the capital of Mu Zhi. He was dressed in a spacious green bachelor's uniform, his face was graceful and ruddy, and from time to time he muttered something to Makino, such as: I had long expected that Miss Mu Tian would not let us down...... Something like that.

To Makino's right was his wife, a woman nearly thirty years younger than him. When Mu Ning abandoned his marriage and left him, he was young and vigorous, and he waited infatuately for more than 20 years without marrying. Until he was nearly half a hundred years old, and the bloodline of the capital of Mu needed to be inherited, so he had to choose a young and beautiful, untrained aristocratic girl among several families loyal to him. Makino had even forgotten her former family, her surname, only that her family crest seemed to be a very bewitching flower, and she herself was really as bewitching as that flower, which always made him want to stop. And she was also angry, and when she had just turned twenty, she gave birth to Mu Lun for him.

In the past, this seating order of the large banquets in the capital of the pasture was unchangeable, but tonight, except for a few of them who could not be beaten, the position of the finance minister of the capital of the city lord to the right of the lady of the city lord should have been the position of the finance minister of the capital of the pastaki, but at this time, a woman in green armor sat upright.

Although the woman's body was wrapped in armor, it was still clear that her figure was tight, and her face matched the color of the armor, like a pink flower peeking out of the green leaves.

"Look, even the Muxiang Grand Instructor, who has never drunk a drop of alcohol, has drunk a lot, and it seems that joy is really easy to make people forget the strict law. Makino's long and narrow eyes peeked into Mu Xiang's bulging parts from time to time, and said teasingly.

When Mu Xiang heard the words of the city lord, he immediately stood up and said in a serious tone: "Lord City Lord, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates. ”

"Haha, look ......" Makino immediately waved his hand and smiled at the university scholar next to him, "She's still serious, oops, Instructor Muxiang, don't be so restrained, this is not a battlefield, not to mention that today is a big day, will you still see your proud daughter who has become the capital of Muzhi with a straight face?"

Mu Xiang was stunned for a moment and sat down slowly.

Yes, Mu Xiang thought silently, thinking of Mu Tian, a trace of warmth flowed through her heart that was somewhat anesthetized by alcohol, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This scene also happened to be seen by Makino, and he only felt that his lips were dry and unbearable.

"This woman is still so charming after so many years, if she hadn't suddenly become a big belly back then, maybe ...... Hmph," Makino looked back and thought hatefully, "I still don't know who that man is, and this woman won't say it!"

In a trance, a guard walked up to him from outside the door, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord City, Miss Mu Tian is already waiting at the door. ”

Hearing this, Makino's eyes lit up.

"Haha, let her in. Makino's laughter also made everyone in the Dragon Hall look at the door.

When Mu Tian appeared in a green silk dress, her tall figure couldn't help but attract everyone's side eyes, and her hair seemed to have been specially groomed, black and shiny like tonight. However, her face was still as cold as an iceberg, and a trace of disgust arose when she looked around at the somewhat erosive atmosphere in the Dragon Hall. She didn't even have time to visit her mother when she returned to the capital of Muzhi, and she wanted to tell the city lord the urgent news as soon as possible, but she didn't expect to get a reply that she would be asked to dress up and take care of it, and then go to the Dragon Hall to wait. She instantly seemed to understand, it must be because someone saw her Qinghong......

Makino saw that the girl in front of her, who had not yet passed the coming-of-age ceremony, already had the temperament of a mature woman, and she was as cold and arrogant as her mother, and she couldn't help but think more in her heart.

"Haha...... Come, Mu Tian, sit here. Makino smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him on his right.

Mu Tian bowed slightly, only walked over and sat there. It was the first time she had sat in such a front position. She glanced at it casually and found that her mother was actually sitting in the front, and it was only after eye contact that she finally felt a trace of real warmth.

When Mu Tian took his seat, some of the officials and nobles who stood up also sat on the benches on both sides.

"The treatment of those who have been promoted to the captain is really unusual, otherwise such a punctual person can only sit here with me. A nobleman sitting at the back of the Dragon Hall pointed to his bottom with an obscene expression on his face, and whispered to the person next to him.

"You'd better take it easy, it's hard to say if your body can stand it......" The person on the side smiled and said without leaving a trace.

"Come on, pour wine for the heroes of the capital of Makino!" Makino shouted a little drunk.

Mu Tian frowned slightly, her thin lips slightly opened and she wanted to say something, but the maid behind her had already poured her a full glass, and the bright red liquid was like blood.

"Castle Lord......"

Before Mu Tian's two words fell, Mu Ye stood up and raised his wine glass, "Come, let's raise a glass to her together." After saying that, Makino took the lead in drinking it all, and the other important ministers also followed, after all, for them, there was nothing easier than drinking.

Mu Tian looked at the wine glass in front of him, and there was no other way but to put it to his mouth and take a small sip. Although it is only a small bite, the fierceness in it spreads to the bottom of my heart.

"Lord of the City," Mu Tian spoke again, "I have something important to report to you......

"I know, of course I do......" There was still a trace of red wine on Makino's lips, "We're not celebrating this either, you know what's going to happen next, right?"

Mu Tian shook her head, but she knew in her heart that it was definitely not what she wanted to tell him.

"Bring your dragon in and show them how fierce and mighty it is, it's a green dragon, right......? It must be ......," Makino said to himself, not meaning to let Mu Tian answer at all.

When he noticed that Mu Tian was still sitting there without moving, his expression was slightly displeased, but his tone was still gentle with a hint of joke: "Why don't you go yet?"

Mu Tian had no choice but to get up and walk to the door.

Makino stared at her back, his eyes filled with frenzy, whether it was for her or for the dragon that was about to appear.

Mu Tian walked to the door, his slender fingers pressed together and gently put it to his lips, and a strange sound came from between his fingers, and the dragon hall began to stir.

"It's the ...... of Qiming"

"Nonsense, you still need to say it!"

“......”

As soon as Mu Tian's reed sound sounded, a hissing sound was heard outside the Dragon Hall, and then a green shadow rushed in from outside the door like the wind, circling in the wide Dragon Hall a few times. The people below, whether they were officials or nobles, were frightened by the rapid green wind, and hurriedly took a few steps back. And when they stood still, they found that there was already a green dragon more than one meter tall beside Mu Tian.

Qinghong, whose body stopped, did not stop emotionally. It roared hostilely in the face of dozens of pairs of eyes in the dragon hall, and Mu Tian stretched out his hands and gently stroked its head full of hard scales before it calmed down slightly.

Mu Tian took it and slowly walked towards the center of the Dragon Hall, and the people on both sides leaned back, only some officials who served in the city's defense and military did not seem too flustered.

Makino stood up, his body swaying, but his eyes never left the green dragon beside Mu Tian. As Mu Tian gradually got closer to him, the smug expression on his face slowly disappeared, and his hand clutched the silver wine glass......
