Chapter 100: State Banquet
The year-end assessment came to an end quietly under the national jubilation of removing the old and welcoming the new, and with the subsequent competition, the top ten rankings soon had results.
Although Luo Chen's first place in the assessment was obtained because of Zhong Lingxiu's abandonment, no one thought that Luo Chen's strength was not strong, and if it was timed, he would definitely be a friend of Le Zheng.
Qiguan Wenzhuan and Chu Zibu won the second and third places respectively, and the name of Qiguan Wenzhuan also resounded inside and outside the Lingwu King City at the same time, and the military minister announced that he would accept Qiguan Wenzhuan as his disciple.
However, the surge of these undercurrents was washed by a strong festive atmosphere on this day when the lights were on.
On the day of the state banquet, the heavy door of the Lingwu Palace, which symbolized dignity and solemnity, slowly opened, and one by one the huge spirit beasts drove straight in, pulling the magnificent chariots into the majestic palace city.
At this time, Luo Chen was sitting with Xu Sansi and other people from the Moyu Sect.
As a top force, the position of the Moyu Sect is naturally in the highest place under the throne of the King of Lingwu County.
"Junior Luo Chen, I have seen the King of Lingwu County, and I ask the King of County to forgive the villain for the crime of concealing his identity before!"
Luo Chen knelt in front of the King of Lingwu County and pleaded guilty.
This is the second time Luo Chen has seen the King of Lingwu County, and he can still clearly feel the powerful aura on the King of the County, that breath, for some reason, will faintly suppress his soul, only feeling that he is in front of the King of Lingwu County, as if he is naked, and any secrets seem to be known by him.
On both sides of the King of Lingwu County, the concubines and heirs of the King of the County sat separately, and Chu Shuling, the lord of the seven counties, sat in the column, which was particularly outstanding.
She looked at Luo Chen, who was kneeling in front of her father, revealing a trace of worry, so she got up and came to the side of King Lingwu County, and said in a low voice: "Father, Luo Gongzi is a rare talent, you don't have to blame him." ”
"Ling'er, step back quickly, your father and king have their own decision!" Chu Shuling's mother, Concubine Hua, shouted in a deep voice.
Today is a state banquet, and it is also the king's family banquet, and it is not a dynasty, so there is no need to be rigid in etiquette. King Lingwu's gaze stopped at Chu Shuling for a moment, showed a loving smile, and said, "Ling'er, how old are you this year? Come! Father has been busy with state affairs lately, and I haven't seen you for a long time, so sit here Father!"
King Lingwu stretched out his hand, grabbed Chu Shuling's petite and delicate hand, and motioned for her to sit on his throne with her.
The throne is very large, enough space for five or six people, Chu Shuling sat in the corner of the throne and pouted, "Father hasn't been to see my mother for a long time. ”
"Are you complaining about your father?" said the King of Lingwu County, feigning anger and hooking Chu Shuling's nose.
"Originally, you haven't been to your mother's Huayang Palace for a long time. ”
Luo Chen kept kneeling there, thousands of horses running by in his heart, watching a big beauty like Chu Shuling coquettish towards the King of Lingwu County, and the surface was very calm.
"Presumptuous!"
At this time, a loud and sharp voice sounded in Luo Chen's ears, and he looked up at a place, only to see a woman dressed more luxuriously than the queen next to King Lingwu County, wearing a heavy crown more than a foot high, surrounded by twelve palace maids, slowly walking.
Her eyes are not angry and arrogant, and her momentum is even more powerful than that of the queen, as if she is the biggest lord of the harem.
Concubine Hua and the other concubines showed extremely jealous looks in their eyes, and saluted respectfully towards the woman.
"See Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen's mother is auspicious!"
And the queen's eyes did flash with endless cruelty and hostility. Luo Chen's eyes rolled slightly, taking in everyone's expressions.
Suddenly, he suddenly felt that there was a powerful killing intent locked on him, and the source of this killing intent came from this woman named Concubine Chen.
When he was still a little puzzled, when he suddenly saw Concubine Chen following Chu Zibu, he suddenly understood.
He remembered that Yu Ziqing said that Chu Zibu's biological mother was Concubine Chen.
"Now Lingwu County is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and the affairs of the county kingdom are so heavy. As the lord of the county, you don't worry about the king of the county, but you also want to flatter your mother, what a pair of vixens. ”
Concubine Chen's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Shuling and the appearance of the county king. She sat on the right hand side of the King of Lingwu County, just like the queen on the left.
"This is Luo Chen, who is Yan and suppresses my son's cloth? What a talent!"
Concubine Chen looked at Luo Chen with a smile, a sinister color flashed in her eyes, but there was still a kind and gentle smile on her face.
"Luo Chen, the state banquet is about to start, you should step back first. King Lingwu saw Concubine Chen's displeasure and coughed lightly.
"The grass people are retired!"
Luo Chen retreated, getting rid of the cold gazes of Concubine Chen and Chu Zibu.
"The three protectors of the Blood Hidden Gate have arrived!" With a high-pitched voice, there were three powerful blood rays surging outside the hall, and the three major protectors of the Blood Hidden Gate appeared, causing a sensation.
"I thought that the other two protectors of the Blood Hidden Sect were the same as the Blood Demon Son, but I didn't expect them to have an extraordinary appearance. Luo Chen whispered.
Le Zhengyou Zhu said with a smile: "Little junior brother, you have a preconceived idea, the blood demon son is because of his special physique, and he cultivates the evil skills of the Blood Hidden Sect, so his appearance has changed greatly, this great protector of the law and the second protector of the law without a trace are all well-known celebrities in Lingwu County." ”
The blood of the Killer Scholar and the Blood of the Traceless Son are much higher than the Blood Demon Son, but the appearance is diametrically opposite, the Killer Scholar is dressed in a green shirt and a Confucian costume, holding a feather fan, like an otherworldly turbidity son, with a delicate appearance, not at all like the appearance of cultivating the Blood-devouring Evil Skill.
And the same is true of blood, dressed in white and plain, with the style of a grandfather, and his whole body is extremely clean, without a trace of dirt.
The three protectors saluted to the King of Lingwu County, and the King of Lingwu County smiled slightly: "The three protectors of the Blood Hidden Gate are here, which really makes the palace of this king shine." ”
"The banquet of the county kingdom, how can the Blood Hidden Sect not be cautious, rumors have spread recently, framing my Blood Hidden Sect for secretly instigating the civil war of the Self-Sect, and has already taken refuge in the Chongshan County State, I am waiting to come here to break these rumors. ”
The eight red-clothed disciples of the Blood Hidden Sect walked in carrying a huge jade brocade box, and gently opened the brocade box, and a bright red bead all over the body emitted a blood-colored brilliance, and wisps of Heavenly Dao rules flew out.
The eyes of the entire hall were focused on the huge bright red bead, and they let out a cry of amazement.
"Is this the Blood Devouring Spirit Bead of the Blood Hidden Sect?" King Lingwu Jun's face changed slightly, Rao was based on his cultivation, and when he saw this Blood Devouring Spirit Bead, he couldn't maintain a calm demeanor.
Xueli smiled slightly: "In order to show its loyalty to the Lingwu County, the Blood Hidden Gate specially dedicated this blood-devouring spirit bead to the county king as a congratulatory gift on the occasion of the state banquet, wishing Lingwu the county a thousand generations and a lasting country!"
Luo Chen felt the breath on the blood-devouring spirit bead and said, "But the rules of the blood path can be thickened." ”
"That's natural, this blood-devouring spirit bead is said to be one of the three major sects of the Blood Hidden Sect, it has the unique effect of blood condensation and refinement, placing it next to the martial artist can make the martial artist's qi and blood stronger, and the lifespan will also be increased. "Le Zhengyou bamboo road.
"The Blood Hidden Gate is actually willing to give this thing to the county king, which is really generous. Luo Chen sighed.
"Being able to give up such a bloody capital, it seems that the rumors of the Blood Hidden Gate are true. "Le Zhengyou bamboo road.
"The rumors of the Blood Hidden Sect, what is that?" Luo Chen asked.
Le Zhengyou Zhu Zhengse said: "Do you know that Bailu City has fallen into a war?"
"Bailu City, that's where the Self-Propelled Sect is located, and I've passed by this place before. ”
"The two factions of the self-propelled sect are divided into two factions, and many strong people want to force the current sect leader Lin Yuzhi to abdicate, and want to elect the Supreme Elder Yan Yunqing as the sect master. ”
Le Zhengyouzhu showed a solemn look on his face, "And Yan Yunqing dares to do this, just some elders are not qualified, Sect Master Lin is the sect master appointed by the previous sect master, no matter how highly respected Yan Yunqing is, such an act will definitely ruin the reputation of his life." Recently, the powerhouse of the Blood Hidden Sect had appeared near Bailu City, and many people believed that it was the Blood Hidden Gate that was secretly supporting Yan Yunqing. ”
"What's the benefit of doing this to the Blood Hidden Sect?" Luo Chen said.
"How can it be no good, if Yan Yunqing really gets the support of the Blood Hidden Sect, with the strength of the Blood Hidden Sect, he will definitely seize this opportunity to make Yan Yunqing a puppet and support a puppet to ascend to the throne, where the Self-Hidden Sect will go in the future, it is naturally clear at a glance, and the Blood Hidden Sect can obtain greater benefits from it. ”
"The Self-Propelled Sect is attached to the Moyu Sect, if it falls, the Moyu Sect will inevitably be involved, could it be that the Blood Hidden Sect really intends to do this?" Luo Chen said.
Le Zheng Youzhu looked at Luo Chen, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The little junior brother's sense of smell is very keen, and he actually thought of this. ”
"What is the benefit of the Blood Hidden Sect and the Moyu Sect being enemies, aren't they afraid of provoking disputes in the Lingwu Monarch Kingdom? No, is this their purpose?"
Le Zhengyouzhu nodded and said: "The most terrifying place is here, according to Mo Yuzong's eyeliner, the Blood Hidden Gate has colluded with the Chongshan County, and the Blood Hidden Island of the Blood Hidden Gate borders the Chongshan County, if this is the case, I am afraid there will be a bloody storm." ”
Luo Chen didn't ask anymore, for him, whether the Lingwu County was in danger or not actually had nothing to do with him at all, he was just worried about the Moyu Sect, after all, he was also a disciple of the Moyu Sect now.
The state banquet soon began, many Wencheng generals gathered together, in this splendid palace hall, the left minister Wu Weizong, the right minister Li Zhaowen are in it, the queen and the concubine Chen laughed and laughed with each other, between the staggered, the atmosphere was extremely peaceful.
Concubine Chen glanced at Li Zhaowen, Li Zhaowen understood, and glanced at Luo Chen, which made Luo Chen's hair suddenly stand upside down, and his vigilance was great.
Li Zhaowen then toasted the Lingwu County King in the name of the name, and said: "The County King, this state banquet, the top ten in the year-end assessment are all here, especially Luo Chen, who won the first place in the assessment, has outstanding strength, only with the cultivation of the late stage of the Reiki Realm, the technique is overwhelming many Great Perfection martial artists, and Weichen is very curious about him. ”
The king of the county put his arms around Concubine Chen and said with a smile: "Why, the right phase is also the same as the left phase, and he is extremely interested in Luo Chen, a junior?"
Without waiting for Li Zhaowen to answer, the capital Han Kuang also said: "Luo Chen can win the appreciation of Elder Xu of the Moyu Sect and the county king, and naturally he can win the favor and curiosity of everyone. ”
