In August, the heat of midsummer fades in the faint fragrance of osmanthus.

The aftermath of the earthquake in the Tianlong political arena caused by the murder of Nancheng has gradually faded, and the gentlemen and ladies of high society have regained their former vitality after a short silence and began to prepare carefully for the upcoming event.

Princess Long Xueling will hold a banquet at the Qingyou Garden on the evening of August 5 to entertain the envoys of the two empires of Fengwu and Rising Sun. This was the princess's first diplomatic activity, and the Tianlong official attached great importance to it, not only closing the roads around Qingyouyuan in advance, but also sending royal guards to patrol around Qingyouyuan. The police station in Beicheng arranged a large number of police forces in advance to carry out a carpet cleaning of the relevant areas in advance, and strive to eliminate all factors that may affect and threaten the banquet.

"It's a pity, I don't even have a chance to stand on the side of the road and take a look at the ice and snow god from a distance! I can only wait for the next day's newspaper!"

"I want to see the goddess of dreams, and she's gone, alas! These scalpers have hyped up the tickets for her concert to sky-high prices, and the private money that Lao Tzu has saved for half a year is not enough!"

"What goddess, I think it's still our Tianlong princess who is the most beautiful! Her demeanor when she appeared at the Xishan Exercise Ground that day, I don't know how many people were fascinated and killed!"

"This banquet can be said to be a rare event in the Western Continent in recent years! However, this banquet is a bit strange, three countries that may break out at any time actually get together to have a party, it's really incomprehensible!"

I heard that some of the small kingdoms and principalities of the neighboring three countries have been invited by the younger generation to attend this banquet. However, they were not invited by the princess, but by Feng Wu and Rising Sun in private. The timing of the two missions was too coincidental, so they seemed to have the intention of taking advantage of the Heavenly Dragon's territory to compete and show their strength, forcing those small countries to choose sides in future wars. ”

"I don't know if Brother Qi will participate in this banquet? If he can participate, this banquet will be even more worth looking forward to. ”

"Seventh brother, it is estimated that it is suspended, after all, this is the princess's first diplomatic activity, and there is no room for mistakes and accidents. With Brother Qi's fierce style, it's really too difficult for him to come out of the situation......"

The people of Haiyue City, who had recovered from the strong shock of Zhu Xiaoqi's resurrection, also began to pay attention to this grand event. Although it is impossible to have the opportunity to attend this event and witness the demeanor of those legendary characters, it is also a wonderful history to pick up the inside story and chat about gossip.

I have to say that the imagination and judgment of the people are amazing, countless gossip has gathered together from all directions, and it has been continuously refined and sublimated in the process of word of mouth, and the people of Haiyue City have actually guessed the background and purpose of this banquet.

For example, they guessed the awkward situation of those small countries. More than a dozen small countries sandwiched between the three kingdoms and may become cannon fodder for the war of the great powers at any time have sent princes and princesses to Haiyue City to attend the meeting. Akari, they admire the demeanor of the young generation of royals of the Three Kingdoms, and they don't want to miss such an opportunity to get close, so they will come all the way to Haiyue City to join in the fun. Secretly, they are actually here to look at the wind, and most of their entourage are the intelligence elites of these countries. At this time, they were not in the mood to listen to songs, dances, drink, and eat meat, and they anxiously and uneasily waited for the confrontation drill a few days later.

The Celestial Dragons are rich in strength and have huge war potential, and they don't want to offend. The Rising Sun is invincible, and they can be called the overlord of the Western Continent, and they dare not offend. Feng Wu stuck to the ice field, fought against the Meizu for a hundred years and the country was not destroyed, they could not be offended. Struggling to survive in the cracks, they could only focus on the battle that represented the top combat power of the three empires. The outcome of this contest will have a great impact on the future decisions of these countries.

For another example, they guessed Zhu Xiaoqi's embarrassment. He did not receive an invitation to the banquet. The nobles of Haiyue City, as long as they had a little fame, all received invitations, but as the young master of the Li family, he was gorgeously ignored by Long Xueling.

A banquet is insignificant for the self-proclaimed seventh brother who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it doesn't matter if he participates or not. However, the appearance of the ice and snow god Feng Wuyan and the superstar Meng Geli made his heart itch like a cat scratch. As a fellow soldier, he was very interested in Feng Wuyan, who had fought for many years with a group of warriors and Meizu on the vast ice field and had never been defeated in his life, and he really wanted to see what kind of woman she was. He even thought wickedly that one day he would be able to remove her mask with his own hands and see if the face behind the mask was too ugly to see anyone. As for Meng Geli, he had already seen it, and even if he stared at it for a few more days, he wouldn't be able to see her true face. He just wanted to hear her sing now, to see if the song, which had been passed down by everyone as a miracle, had the magic to make his soul tremble.

"What the hell, it's okay to have any nerves! Others drink wine and eat meat, you deserve to be in a hurry!" Zhu Xiaoqi attributed the result of his exclusion from the banquet invitation list to his conversation with Princess Long Xueling in the cemetery.

He clearly remembered that when he said that he would lead his troops to recapture the banner of the Western Expeditionary Army, Long Xueling's beautiful face instantly lost blood, and his eyes were complicated and inexplicable. At that time, the storm in Haiyue City was blowing fiercely because of him, but he had already begun to plan a crazy military operation that would shock the entire continent, how could this fragile princess accept it?

Why do I actually have a strong desire to express myself in front of this woman? Do I want to make myself stand out in her eyes? Why does a young and mature person like Lao Tzu become so frivolous in front of her? Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't figure it out.

August 5th, the day of the banquet.

After getting up early in the morning, Zhu Xiaoqi had breakfast and sat in the hall in a daze. There was no news from the old lady's side, and his only hope of attending the banquet was dashed.

"Where is this old face!" he covered his face with his hands, and he was really sad.

He is like the future star of the Tianlong Military Realm, he can't shine on such a gorgeous stage with the God of Ice and Snow War, he can't listen to the song with his own ears and then flirt with the dream song and leave a few words, he can't slap the arrogant prince in the face of the rising sun, he suddenly feels that life is boring.

"Boss, I'm here to ask you for a leave of absence to attend tonight's banquet. When Long Rui appeared in front of him in a suit and leather, and demonstrated to him with a cheap smile, Zhu Xiaoqi's face was miserable green, and his eyes were spitting fire.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll send you a cordial greeting to Menggeli on your behalf. Long Rui was still smiling unknowingly.

"Long Rui, when you beg me!" Zhu Xiaoqi raised his head, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

"What do you want to do?" Long Rui's heart was shocked.

"What to do, you'll know soon. Now, you can get out!" The smile in Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes became even stronger. If you want to play, Lao Tzu will accompany you to play a big game! Ice and Snow God of War, Four Princes, Long Xueling, Long Rui, none of you want to run, let's play a heartbeat game together!

"You're her groom. If she rides there at night, you may still have a chance!" Long Rui said humbly, but Zhu Xiaoqi ignored him and just looked at him and laughed.

"I'm leaving. The back was cold, the cold air was surging, Long Rui shivered, and he flashed decisively, no longer stimulating him.

After Long Rui left, Leng Yunfei came quickly. Today, he took off the military uniform he always wears on weekdays and changed into a straight suit. The leather shoes are also carefully polished, and the glow under the feet is recognizable. His hair seems to have just been cut, and he has changed to a hairstyle that matches his face very well, and the whole person looks heroic and several years younger.

Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes straightened when he saw it, it was really the first time he had seen such a cold Yunfei.

Is this Nima a dead tree in spring, or an old tree blooming? Or maybe the season is out of order, spring returns to the earth, and everything is in heat?

The key question is, what is he going to do in this dress?

"Xiao Qi, aren't you leaving?" Leng Yunfei himself seemed to be a little unaccustomed to dressing like this, and he looked a little helpless under Zhu Xiaoqi's gaze.

"Where are you going?" asked Zhu Xiaoqi with a frown.

"Isn't there a banquet tonight?" Long Rui and Tie Guts have gone, aren't you going?" Leng Yunfei asked in surprise.

The expression on Zhu Xiaoqi's face froze.

"Miss Zhao insisted that I accompany her and be her dance partner. So I'm here to tell you. Leng Yunfei smiled awkwardly.

"Go ahead, drink two more glasses, wine can mess with sex. Someone said hatefully.

After Leng Yun flew away, Zhu Xiaoqi decided to go to the Military Academy of Haiyue City.

Isn't it just a banquet, whoever likes to go will go! You participate in the banquet, Lao Tzu accompanies Qin Meinu to do a few first, and then eat and walk together. Second prince, brother is here to dig your corner again!

When he arrived at the academy, Qin Yi was not there. When I asked, I also went to a banquet, and a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, and someone's heart was cold......

He had no choice but to return to the Li Mansion in a huff.

At this time, someone remembered a group of brothers who were training hard in the basement, and he suddenly found out in his conscience that he really shouldn't be greedy for beauty, and he wanted to go and share the weal and woe with his brothers and practice hard!

"Young master, someone from the palace said that there was something to look for you. Before entering the mansion, Li An greeted him.

"Oh?" Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.

A middle-aged man was already waiting in the hall.

"Lao Zhang, why are you here?" Zhu Xiaoqi looked at him in surprise. This is Zhang Yu, the guard in charge of taking care of the stables in the Snow Palace, and strictly speaking, he is his boss.

"Your Highness is going to travel, let you go back and prepare for him. Seeing him, Zhang Yu was overjoyed. Long Xueling asked Zhu Xiaoqi to prepare the horse, which made him really nervous, because he never knew the whereabouts of the boy who saw the head and the tail of the dragon, so he had to come to the Li Mansion to inquire about the news.

"If you don't want to ride a horse in a carriage, doesn't she mean to toss people?" Zhu Xiaoqi frowned.

Zhang Yu has long been accustomed to his rudeness to the princess. This guy who is pampered by Long Xiaoyun and protected by a group of old guys has this capital.

"It's in a carriage, but the princess wants you to drive for him. He laughed.

Catch the carriage! Zhu Xiaoqi's face twitched.

From a stableman to a groom, from a fodder to a whipper, is this Nima going to be promoted?
