Chapter 4 Private Banquets
After arranging for four elders to lead 30 jīng spirit archers back to the demon jīng forest to arrange political and ideological work, Queen Lingbao and jīng spirits officially joined the small mercenary group.
At first, the logistics officers of the small mercenary group were still facing the enemy, and so many leaders of the jīng spirit kingdom appeared at the same time, maybe how difficult it would be to serve, and it turned out that this worry was unnecessary. The jīng spirits have always lived a relatively simple life, and they do not have any more requirements for food and lodging. Her Majesty Queen Lingbao is also very easy to get along with, she was originally a little girl, and she has never seen any of the world, three girls in one play, Lin Yusheng and Sha Ruo quickly became very familiar with Her Majesty, and before the lunch was finished, Lingbaoer had already begun to call Lin Yushang and Sister Sha Ruo.
In the next few days, Lin Yushang took Ling Bao'er around the dìdū to take a look, where had Ling Bao'er seen so many people and houses, laughing and running around the crowd along the way...... Although she is a little girl, the innocence, cuteness, and lightness unique to the jīng spirit girl have touched the hearts of countless dìdū teenagers, especially Ling Bao'er is recognized as the first beauty of the jīng spirit family. If it weren't for the fact that Ling Bao'er was followed by two obviously aristocratic girls, followed by more than 10 adult jīng spirits and four or five mercenaries, His Majesty the Lingbao Sons and Daughters might have been abducted by ill-intentioned people on the first day of his appearance.
After Earl Chi learned of this, he thought about it carefully, and negotiated with Earl Lin again, and the two jointly held a grand private banquet.
Among the 365 days of private banquets throughout the year, the scale of this banquet jointly organized by the two Chilin families is also countable, and the guests of honor at the banquet are Her Majesty the Queen of the Spirit of Jīng and the 17 elders (most of whom are the Spirit Magisters of the Jīng) who have traveled north from the demon Jīng Forest.
As soon as the news of the legendary Queen Jīng Ling came to Dìdū, Dìdū immediately caused a sensation, and rumors also learned that Her Majesty had just reached adulthood and was not married, but she was recognized as the first beauty of the Jīng Ling clan - even more than the fiancée of the jīng Ling girl of His Excellency Amy the Golden Brain half a year ago.
Chi Hanfeng also announced in the name of Marshal Chi Datong that at this banquet, a major news will be announced.
Interestingly, Count Chi Hanfeng only distributed one invitation to each family this time - only to the heads of the families. The age of the head of the family is generally over 40 years old, and there are many juniors in the family, so who is it good to give this to just one invitation? Everyone knows that Count Chi is not easy to mess with, so they have gone to Earl Lin's mansion to inquire, hoping to ask for one or two more invitations. Lord Lin was struggling, and in the end he was forced to do nothing, and finally told the truth: sending these invitations was originally Chi Hanfeng's original intention, as long as he was a nobleman, he could go to the office set up by the small mercenary group in the tree house bar to buy invitations, each with 30 purple gold coins. Earl Lin hesitated for a moment, but decided to completely betray Chi Hanfeng's Suo: "The general also said that if you can't even take out 30 purple gold coins, then what kind of nobleman is it? ”
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the news that a certain nobleman was so ill-intentioned quickly spread, coupled with the performance of this person in the previous recruitment of mercenaries......
That night, Count Chi Hanfeng inexplicably received several large plaques, and the Duke also came to the council hall to watch it after learning about it.
The father knows his son too well, and of course he won't be too polite in his mouth: "Tsk, tsk, son, look at it, this is your current reputation." You see, the words on this plaque: 'family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is about money'; look, this is more vivid, 'and Shen Gan bows to the wind, Liu Jin is blind', son, you can, these two corrupt officials in history have been compared to you; hey, there is this, it is to describe another advantage of you, you come to see 'Yan has plucked the holy hand, flowing clouds and weave clothes', the person who wrote this plaque is a master, how accurate the words are, people are geese who have plucked their feathers, you are good, Zi has passed, you have plucked their feathers, the clouds are fluttering, you are ......"
"Dad, I'm still your son, and you're hurting me...... Dad, Dad, don't scold me, you see, there is really praise for me here, you look at the big words on this plaque, it really wins my heart, 'three years as an official, the sky is nine feet high'. Confidant, confidant, life is this confidant, three lives are enough. Chi Hanfeng's eyebrows and smiles bloomed.
The old marshal slapped the back of his son's head heavily: "You are so stupid, you still pretend to be confused with me, that is scolding you? Being an official for three years, the sky is nine feet high, and being an official for one year is three feet high, how can the sky be high? That's because you scraped the ground down three feet!"
"Damn!" Chi Hanfeng rubbed the back of his head, and scolded viciously in his heart: "These bastard nobles, don't they just charge you some money? and accumulate some virtue for you, and now you dare to slander me like this...... Hum...... Wait and see. ”
Of course, the Duke knew that although Chi Hanfeng had made a lot of money, he had never treated the commoners well, whether it was a small evil or a major disease. It's just that the Chi family has been famous for 500 years, how can there be such a baby son.
"On March 1 of autumn, according to the practice of the Empire, I am going to inspect several major war zones, you have to be more careful. The Duke said lightly, turned around and walked back.
From the empty duke's palace came the voice of a nobleman shouting: "Send these things to the kitchen to make firewood, and, if you are stronger, send them to the toilet to make the floor!"
On February 28, the 5th autumn of the magic calendar, the two banquets of the Ikebayashi were finally successfully held.
Later generations believed that in Scambrai's 500 years of ups and downs, only this banquet was the most successful. In the previous many banquets, the nobles often talked about the wind and moon, danced, and kissed. Banquet banquet, the so-called banquet, the most important thing is the banquet, everyone doesn't eat much, what kind of banquet is it? And this banquet, all the nobles present at the banquet ate everything they could eat like crazy, and even the soy sauce, vinegar, mustard powder, cumin and other seasonings used for dipping the juice were picked up by the nobles one by one, and they grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths.
The servants of the Duke's Palace were stunned, and some people kept exclaiming: "What's wrong with them? Could it be the reincarnation of a hungry ghost? It seems that it will only be like this after being hungry for at least five days." ”
To be honest, all the nobles present at the meeting were fully prepared, and they had been on a hunger strike since three days ago, and all the young young dukes, young princes, young earls, and others made bets to see who would go to Duke Chi's house to destroy the most food, and even had a competition to see who could steal more utensils from the duke's house - a large ruler plate might not work, as would a small fork in Jin Sè and a toothpick box in Jīng.
It's a pity that when these teenagers barely climbed to the Duke's Palace, they found that there were four posts set up at the door, and everyone who entered the Duke's Palace would be emptied of all their belongings and kept separately, and after they came out, they would be emptied of all their belongings again. The teenagers were dumbfounded at that time, he was really ruthless, and a few teenagers still did not hesitate to accuse the Duke's Mansion of breaking the rules, how could they search the nobles? As a result, they were told that His Majesty the Emperor would come to the Duke's Mansion in person tonight, didn't His Majesty the Emperor need an absolutely safe environment?
His Majesty the King is coming? The Redstone Emperor had never attended a private banquet like this before, and the pattern of this banquet suddenly increased with His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Queen. Of course, the young nobles are not yet hot or idiotic enough to challenge the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor. The faces of the teenagers are full of gods who have been fooled.
"Her Majesty has arrived—" The attendant of the Duke's palace made a strange sound.
When Her Majesty Queen Jīng Ling appeared in the banquet hall with more than 20 elders and more than 10 maids, Her Majesty was the only one in everyone's eyes.
A mountain-shaped jade crown made of extremely jīng, with two sashes draped from the back of the shoulders, and unlike a human girl, Her Majesty's hair appears extremely textured and draped over the shoulders. The faint Edai's eyes were bright, and the clear spring-like eyes swept from where, and the young people there lowered their heads in unison. Dressed in snow-white clothes, you can only see the sparkle of stars in the buttons.
"His Majesty the King has arrived—" The Redstone Emperor apparently deliberately arranged the order of appearance, fully demonstrating the friendliness of the landlord.
Of course, the price of this friendliness is that when His Majesty walks through the door, everyone but a few grandparents who are over 50 years old are blind. Fortunately, the Red Stone Emperor had already received a full jǐng notice from his cousin, and he was already prepared in his heart, and flashed into the crowd with a wry smile.
The show is always behind, and Count Chi Hanfeng swaggered in the middle of the banquet hall to clear his throat heavily, waving his hand to signal the musicians on both sides to stop playing.
The same news exploded again among the 683 nobles in the banquet hall: His Excellency Baron Haber, an imperial nobleman, tied the knot with Her Majesty Queen Jīng Spirit, and was canonized by the Jīng Spirit Kingdom as the Prince of Sword Demon and the regent of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom!
The nobles have not yet figured out who Baron Haber is, but the latter three titles are too intimidating: Her Royal Highness's husband, prince, and regent. Especially a term like regent, which has not been seen for a hundred years. In any empire, once such a position as a regent appears, such a king is often synonymous with a person of great ability, and it is the best interpretation of the words "faithful and reliable".
What kind of shit luck did a baron take, and he became a prince, you know, in the imperial aristocratic sequence, the position of the baron is only higher than that of the imperial knights and lords, and the 200 acres of fief is already considered the top person among the barons, and the large imperial banquet does not invite people from the baronial family to participate at all, for these big nobles here, the barons ...... If a person with such a title wants to send his wife and daughter as a mistress, he may need to think about it.
Looking at the wide mouths of the many nobles below who opened in shock, His Excellency the Earl stepped down from the stage with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. Then, the official of the Imperial Ministry walked up, cleared his throat and solemnly announced: The following imperial nobles are hereby canonized: In the summer of the 5th year of the magic calendar, the imperial nobleman Baron Haber used the power of one person to resist the invasion of the dark Jīng Spirit Clan on the Jīng Spirit Kingdom in the forest of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, and killed the gods of the other world with the power of one person, and rescued Her Majesty the Queen of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom from the Begging Tower.
The Kingdom of Jīng Spirit has been friendly with the empire for generations. Baron Haber builds bridges of friendship for the Empire's allies.
Leapfrogging the canonization of Baron Haber as the Earl of the Empire, and the special fiefdom: 300 acres of fiefdom in the south of the Imperial Tongyun Pass. (No one noticed that when reading this sentence, the Redstone Emperor in the distance smiled viciously: "Hehe, anyway, the south of Tongyun Pass is the Demon Jīng Forest, and it feels really good to be generous to others.") If it weren't for the fact that he would continue to reward him in the future, he would have rewarded the entire forest to His Excellency Earl Ha at one time. ”)
Yunyun.
The news is still explosive, for the canonization of the level, the nobles still have full mental preparation, originally, canonizing the prince and regent of a country as the earl of the empire, this is just a friendly performance between countries, and everyone knows the strength of the jīng spirit kingdom. Moreover, in his capacity as a regent, he didn't care about such a title at all, and if he wanted to, it would not be impossible for him to directly canonize the Red Stone Emperor as some prince of the jīng spirit kingdom, but it seems that the news of the killing of the gods should not be told by the officials of the Imperial Ministry as a reason for canonization—if it came from the mouth of a bard in some bar, everyone would not be so surprised.
If dragons can still be killed by human heroes, then gods should only be worshipped by humans from the moment they are born.
What kind of person is this Harbour Baron?
Some people with fast brains have vaguely guessed who Baron Haber is-there are thousands of imperial barons, but there are only a handful of people who are in the limelight, and among these few people, there are only two people who have a relationship with the Chi family. The answer, of course, is called yù.
Sure enough, the second young master of the Chi family walked up with a wicked smile on his face, and the eyebrows of many officials in the ministry wrinkled together unconsciously, looking at this person's walking posture, it was impossible to connect with the famous family in the empire no matter what, and his body seemed to be crawling with ants, and his walking posture was constantly trembling and changing. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was too hard in the background, and he was a first-class general in the seven military regions of the empire, it is estimated that some officials from the Ministry would have gone up to reprimand loudly and even locked up in a small single room specially set up for nobles by the Ministry of Officials.
Chi Hanfeng didn't throw off the many nobles below at all, and the smug Jiān smiled: "Hehe, I think, many friends will be surprised by the fact that this banquet charges a certain number of tickets, don't do this, I dare to guarantee that in any banquet, everyone must not see a person who really fights with the gods and kills the gods in the end." Below, we have asked His Excellency Qingming Great Magician, the elder of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, to give you a brief introduction to the before and after of this trip. ”
As soon as Elder Qingming spoke, the mystery was immediately revealed. The male protagonist in the story is indeed the righteous son of His Excellency Count Chi Hanfeng, and His Excellency Amy, the golden brain who has been in the limelight in the past four years - it's just that in this story, His Excellency Amy plays not only a wise man, but also a hero who is both wise and brave, especially outstanding in combat.
Elder Jīng Spirit is not a very eloquent person, but the weight of the story itself is enough, spanning many Creation God Realm Night Jīng Spirit Leader, Demon Shuai Yi Hailan, the First Evil Dragon Yin Feng of the Ages, Her Majesty the Jīng Spirit Queen, Wood Jīng Spirit Envoy, the alien god who penetrated the Creation God Realm, the three major divine swords forged by the Creation God himself appeared at the same time, and the first sharp weapon of the ages, the Ice Crossbow...... All these dazzling terms have become a footnote to Lord Amy.
Originally, most of the nobles of the empire thought that Amy was far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the two dragon knights such as Chi Aotian and Da Qingshan in terms of force, but now it seems that ...... All of them are one hundred percent wrong in their calculations.
Most of the young children present let out a faint sigh. What the beauties thought about was that there was a Miss Jīng Lingying in front of her, who was already very competitive, and now there was another Her Majesty Queen Lingbao, and a boy like Amy was completely out of luck;
Regardless of the thoughts of many teenagers of the same age as His Excellency Amy, after this banquet, many news such as "the advent of the three divine swords", "fighting and killing the gods of the other world", and "the regent of the jīng spirit kingdom" spread all over the continents overnight, and the mercenary Amy was like a hot one. On the third day after the duke's private banquet, several mercenaries from southern Xinjiang came to the office of the small mercenary group at the Dìdū Tree House Bar to inquire about His Excellency Amy, and several sensitive bards pricked up their ears from afar to listen to all the dialogues, and Ye Weicai's unintentional words were keenly captured by the five bards: "Although Your Excellency Amy is young, he has the demeanor of a king, and even the demon commander Yi Hailan has to be impressed." The title "Young Mercenary King" was used for the first time on a 22-year-old love fugitive.
