Chapter 467: Star Luo Banquet

As soon as it was dawn, the west gate of Xingluo City was already wide open, and countless salute soldiers stood in front of the city gate, enclosing a long passage. All the salute soldiers stood up straight, ready to greet the guests from afar.

The news of the arrival of the Sun and Moon Mission today had spread throughout Star Luo City, and countless people had gathered on both sides of the road to see it for themselves.

It's not that they haven't seen the Sun and Moon people, and at the Soul Master Contest five years ago, many people from the Sun and Moon Empire poured into Xingluo during the competition, and the people of Xingluo also saw the wonderful performance of the soul master genius Hongchen brothers and sisters from the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, the official mission sent by the Sun and Moon Emperor had a special political significance.

The guards of the West Gate are directing the soldiers to maintain order, give way to the official road, and wait for the Sun and Moon Mission, which may arrive at any time.

As time went by, from sunrise to sunset, the salute soldiers standing guard were changed twice, and a team of people gradually appeared on the outskirts of Xicheng.

Standing on the city tower, the city guard, who was gradually losing patience, instantly perked up and said in a loud voice: "Welcome the Sun and Moon Mission." ”

With his order, the salute soldiers in front of the city gate played salute music together, and the sound of festive and cheerful music spread far into the air in the western suburbs.

The city guard hurriedly walked down the city tower and greeted him with a smile: "Honorable messenger of the sun and moon, Your Excellency the Duke, you have come from afar, and the journey has been hard and hard. ”

"Your Majesty has set up a banquet in the palace, waiting for your arrival at any time, please let me lead the way for you."

The Duke of the White Tiger did not dismount, but rode the White Tiger Horse and slowly stepped forward, saying, "I'm tired." ”

The city defender made a gesture of please, and then also turned over and stepped onto a mighty dragon-scale war horse, leading the way in front of the team.

The Sun and Moon Envoy and the escorted White Tiger soldiers followed him and stepped into the gates of Star Luo City.

It is never too much to watch the lively crowd, and the soldiers standing guard are tired, but they are never tired. Despite the presence of the soldiers who maintained order, they stood on tiptoe one by one, wanting to see the Sun and Moon Messenger with their own eyes.

The procession slowly followed the road, which led in the direction of the Star Luo Palace in the center of the city.

The previous Soul Master Contest was held in Star Luo City, and for this purpose, a huge Star Luo Square was built in front of the Star Luo Palace, and after the competition, it naturally became a landmark in Star Luo City.

At this moment, the Xingluo Square has been rolled out with a long red carpet, which has spread all the way to the entrance of the palace. Next to the carpet are guards in three steps and one post.

When the city defender arrived, he turned over and dismounted, turned back and bowed.

"Please dismount."

At this time, the White Tiger soldiers were no longer escorted, but waited in line in place, only the Duke of the White Tiger and the Sun and Moon Envoys dismounted and stepped on the red carpet, accompanied by the officials of Xingluo, and walked towards the palace, and there were also ministers in the palace who came out to greet them, and those who could come to receive them were all high-level ministers.

The Sun and Moon Mission showed plenty of sincerity, not only did they not carry weapons with them, but even the storage soul guides were willing to be inspected by the Star Luo side to confirm that they did not pose any threat.

"Honorable messenger of the sun and moon, Duke of the White Tiger, the carriage and horses are tired, it is getting late, Your Majesty has prepared a luxurious dinner for you, I hope you will enjoy today."

Under the leadership of several ministers, the Sun and Moon Mission finally arrived at the Xingluo Dynasty and met with Xu Jiawei, the Emperor of Xingluo.

"Respectfully, the messenger of the sun and the moon."

With a loud voice, Huo Yuhao walked into the main hall of the splendid Star Luo Palace, walked out of the mission team, and stood at the forefront alone.

It's not early now, but all the officials in the DPRK and China are there. Xu Jiawei was sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes full of anticipation.

And not far below Xu Jiawei, he sat there for a long time, and when he saw Huo Yuhao appear, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.

Nebula Douluo behind her was slightly stunned, looking at Huo Yuhao with some astonishment.

The officials in the court who still had an impression of Huo Yuhao also showed the same expression as Nebula Douluo the moment they saw Huo Yuhao.

The Duke of the White Tiger had already stood under Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiawei did not show too much surprise, and still maintained the majesty of the emperor, but a slight surprise flashed in his eyes.

He naturally knew in advance that the head ambassador of the Sun and Moon Mission was Huo Yuhao, and although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback in his heart.

Huo Yuhao took out an imperial decree printed with the golden sun and silver moon, and recited:

"Hello, Your Majesty the Star Luo Emperor."

"The Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire are the two largest countries on the Douluo Continent, and since the continents collided four thousand years ago, the war between the two countries has never stopped, and hundreds of people have been disturbed and displaced by the war."

"In recent years, Xu Tianran and other tyrannical kings have even colluded with cults with the intention of launching an all-out war."

"His Majesty the new emperor suffered a palace upheaval when he was a child, his parents and sisters were slaughtered, and he was forced to flee the sun and the moon and live in other countries, deeply feeling the cruelty of war. Therefore, after he devoted himself to forbearance and regained the throne, he was willing to swear in the name of the sun and the moon to reconcile with the two countries of Xingluo Heavenly Soul and not fight. ”

"I hope that His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor is willing to seek common development with the Sun and Moon Empire, open the border, and agree to jointly establish a city in the Mingdou Mountain Range."

After Huo Yuhao finished reciting, he looked directly at Xu Jiawei with a smile on his face, waiting for his response.

Xu Jiawei did not hide the joy on his face at all, and blurted out the answer that had been prepared for a long time: "The war between Xingluo and the Sun and Moon has lasted for too long, and I have had a wish since I was a child, that is, the war that will last for 4,000 years can end in my generation, and now I finally see hope." ”

"Please send the Sun and Moon Envoy back to convey my will to the new Emperor of the Sun and Moon, Xingluo is willing to seek common development with the Sun and Moon Empire, and is willing to contribute to the joint construction of the city."

"It's just that it's getting late, the messenger is tired, I have already prepared a banquet for you, and I invite you to enjoy the delicious food and wine, the sound and the dance, and the specific matters will be discussed later."

The first meeting with Xu Jiawei went very smoothly, and he simply verbally agreed to the many propositions put forward by the Sun and Moon side, and he would talk about it tomorrow after eating.

The banquet prepared by Xu Jiawei is not grand, it is not a separate meal system, but a buffet form, on the white tablecloth, each snow-white plate is inlaid with gorgeous gold edges. Plates of dishes made from precious ingredients are stacked on top of each other like wholesale.

The wine is also unlimited, and the dense bottle body is dazzling.

The various sun and moon officials in the mission have participated in many large and small banquets, and they have eaten countless delicacies, but when they see the dazzling delicacies with the flavor of Xingluo in front of them, they still can't help but have a great appetite and compete to try them.

Of course, they all represent the image of the Sun and Moon Empire, and everyone also pays attention to etiquette and behavior when dining, and there is no indecent demeanor of gobbling up.

The soothing music played by the musicians echoed around, making the listener feel happy, and there were dancing palace maids not far away, with exquisite figures and graceful dancing, which made people fascinated.

In this kind of scene, the sun and moon came to visit for the first time, and the impression of Xingluo added a good impression to them.

The people who received them were all some nobles and officials of the Star Luo Empire, and their ranks were not low. Although it was the first time they met, they could start from the perspective of food or wine, and soon found common ground and talked about the world.

I won't talk about state affairs tonight, just Fengyue.

It is hard to imagine that not long ago, the courtiers of the two great countries, which were still tense and full of gunpowder, could talk so closely at the banquet.

There were two people in the Sun and Moon Mission who didn't talk to the Xingluo officials, Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er.

Huo Yuhao held a goblet in his hand, and in the cup was some kind of sweet and sour drink, strolling alone between the banquets, as if waiting for something.

Huo Qiu'er, who was not far away, was sitting at a table, holding the dishes with chopsticks by herself, and everyone who wanted to talk to her was politely sent away by her.

The banquet was an important social place for the nobles, but Huo Qiu'er paid more attention to its essential attributes.

However, it was not only Huo Qiu'er who only cared about food, there was also a certain Tianmeng who should not be here.

She sat next to Huo Qiu'er with a simulation, eating the delicacies on the table as if no one was around. She persuaded while eating: "Bingbing, Sister Xue'er, don't you come out to eat together?" ”

The Ice Emperor in the Spirit Sea did not respond, he did not look very hungry, and he may also be expressing his speechlessness towards Heavenly Dream.

Finally, Huo Yuhao waited for the person he wanted to wait, turned around with a smile, and looked at the two figures walking slowly towards him.

For a long time with Nebula Douluo.

"I'm sorry Yuhao, the imperial brother has important matters to discuss with several ministers now, and I can only receive you."

For a long time, he also held a goblet in his hand, stretched it out towards Huo Yuhao, and at the same time shook his head lightly, blinking his right eye slightly playfully.

"Dry, cup~"

Huo Yuhao chuckled, and the wine glass in his hand touched together for a long time.

"Cheers, Princess."

The crisp sound of clinking glasses suddenly attracted the attention of Huo Qiu'er and Tianmeng in the distance in the noisy banquet, and they looked back at this side at the same time. But Huo Qiu'er soon stopped caring, and reached out to press Tianmeng's head and turned around: "Eat seriously." ”

"Okay......" Tianmeng said weakly, always feeling a little hairy in his heart.

She felt that she shouldn't be alone with Huo Qiu'er, especially on the special occasion of eating.

The collision of the glasses seems to be a special ritual that makes the wine inside even better.

"Senior Xingyun, Jiujiu's body is fine, thanks to your care during this time." Huo Yuhao didn't ask for a long time, but asked the old woman behind her.

Ask me this kind of question directly, and most of the answers I get are affirmative.

Nebula Douluo smiled with relief: "Blessed with Little Friend, the deputy hall master thinks that Her Royal Highness the princess is no longer in trouble. ”

"That's good." Huo Yuhao nodded lightly.

For a long time, his complexion was good, and he couldn't see any dark diseases, but the Medicine Immortal Douluo had spoken like this, so there must be no more major problems.

"Yuhao, I didn't expect your plan to really succeed." For a long time, there was a strange look in his eyes, and there was a hint of heartfelt admiration in his hard work.

Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly: "Sometimes you still have to gamble, what if you really succeed?" ”

Nebula Douluo didn't know the secret between the two, and thought that they were talking about Huo Yuhao's plan to successfully lobby the new Emperor of Sun and Moon.

But only for a long time I knew that there was no need to try hard to lobby, and the Huo Yuhao in front of him was the new emperor of the sun and moon.

She swore in her own name that she would always keep this secret for Huo Yuhao.

"I really didn't expect that the war that has lasted for 4,000 years will really have a day of ceasefire."

After a long time, he put down the wine glass in his hand and bowed deeply for a Xingluo royal courtesy. Nebula Douluo didn't stop it, she knew that this simple etiquette couldn't express the gratitude in Her Royal Highness the Princess's heart.

"Thank you, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao didn't return the salute, nor was he flattered, he just laughed lightly.

"This is just the beginning, and true peace is far from yet to come."

Nebula Douluo sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the old body's view is a little pessimistic. ”

"Grandma Manyi, you just say it."

Nebula Douluo said: "How difficult it is to guess the emperor's thoughts, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. Today, the new emperor of the sun and moon can temporarily reconcile with our country, probably because his foundation is unstable and he cannot afford the losses caused by the war. ”

"If another warlike king succeeds him, who can guarantee that the Sun and Moon Empire will not go to war again?"

"Besides, the Sun and Moon Empire and my Star Luo Empire have a four-thousand-year feud, and the Sun and Moon Empire have accumulated grievances for a long time, and I want them to give up and take the initiative to put aside their grievances.

Nebula Douluo's opinion was very pessimistic, and this was also the opinion of most of the ministers in the Star Luo Empire.

Huo Yuhao stared at the wine glass in his hand and was silent for a while, and said lightly: "I want to output a violent theory here, in fact, I think it is actually very simple to ask the Sun and Moon Empire to let go of grievances." ”

"Yuhao, what can you do?"

"Xingyun senior, you also said that as long as there are interests, countries can become friends with each other. And as long as there are interests, one country's attitude towards another country can be changed from the top down. ”

Huo Yuhao said to himself: "As long as the ruler can control public opinion, even if it is two countries with deep blood feuds, they can put aside their grievances and be as sweet as friends." And two countries that have no grievances and no enmity can also fight each other for no reason. ”

After saying that, he was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said, "No matter what the long-term future holds, at least for a few decades, you don't have to worry about the threat from the Sun and Moon Empire." ”

Huo Yuhao took the initiative to stretch out his wine glass and smiled: "Don't talk about state affairs tonight." ”

After a long time, he smiled helplessly and clinked glasses again.

She took another sip and said softly: "Duke White Tiger has been fighting for the country for many years, and now, he can finally put down the war and rest more." ”

Xingyun Douluo said: "Actually, Your Majesty also has a dream of going to the battlefield to offer a general for the country, but it's a pity that he is in the emperor's family, although he is a brother and sister with the Duke of White Tiger, he has never fought side by side. ”

After a long time, he smiled and said: "The imperial brother only knows the art of war, if he is born in the White Tiger lineage, I am afraid he will not be a good general." ”

Huo Yuhao fell silent when he heard this, and Shaoqing chimed in: "Fortunately, he didn't come from the White Tiger lineage. ”

"The name Dai Jiawei is really not suitable for leading troops."

The banquet is staggered, and there is laughter and laughter as far as the eye can see.

In a few moments, the music played in the distance changed, and became rhythmic dance music.

There was a sun and moon to make the nobles of Xingluo hold hands between talking and laughing, and slowly dance together to the rhythm of the music.

After a long time, he couldn't help but smile, put down the wine glass, and stretched out his hand to Huo Yuhao.

"Respected envoy of the sun and the moon, are you lucky enough to be able to dance with you for a long time?"

Huo Yuhao sneered, and just wanted to reach out and hold his wrist for a long time, when his face suddenly changed slightly, and he turned his head and subconsciously looked in a certain direction in the hall.

Duchess I have to do it, but I have to think of a specific way......
