Chapter 82: The State Banquet (Asking for Tickets at the End of the Month!) )

A few days passed.

The capital finally ushered in the day of the 60th birthday, this morning, hundreds of officials congratulated, and red lanterns were hung everywhere in the streets and alleys.

From the main gate of the capital to the Tianwu Gate of the Imperial City, and then to the front of the Imperial Palace, there are various gates in the east, west, south and north.

Along the way, the lanterns are colorful, the singing and dancing are leveled, the Jinfang color pavilion is dotted with stars, the color sheds look at each other, the eyes are full of fire trees and silver flowers, and a thriving celebration scene.

The stone bridge along the Chenghe River is also hung with red colors, and a leaf leaf flat boat rows through the bridge hole, and a hydrangea is held at the end of the boat.

Everyone in the capital knows what it means, and they are all looking forward to the arrival of the night.

Only an old man who entered the city was out of place with this scene, and after they entered the city, they sat in the official sedan chair with a tired face.

There are also some elderly people who have just arrived in the capital, their heads are dizzy, and they faint directly, so they can only be carried away by others, lying in the hospital on the side of the street, and recuperating quietly.

Only a small number of people can travel here in a glossy horse-drawn carriage.

Every time an old man arrives, there will be a record of the officials in the capital, how is his physical condition, whether he can participate in tonight's banquet, whether he will lose his share in front of the emperor, and how many tables and seats should be arranged tonight.

Of course, these are all things that officials should think.

The people of the capital only know that there will be a very honorable person celebrating his birthday today, and they will have a good mouth in the evening, and they can get the food rewarded by the government.

And they can rub the drama troupe specially found by the emperor, watch the play, neighbors, walk the streets and alleys, chatter and discuss, and the chat content is very miscellaneous, but to sum up, it is nothing more than that, don't leave tonight, watch the play together!

Generally speaking, the hardest thing at this time is the forbidden army that never leaves the guards at the post.

However, the forbidden army is also divided into levels, and those who are at ease, eat food and pay and do not work, often have backgrounds, are on duty night and night, and have worked hard, and now they naturally stand at the head of the imperial city and above the city gates.

On the wall of Tianwumen in the imperial city, there stood an eight-foot man, with a strong posture, a dark face, a little vicissitudes, a cyan military robe, a tiger head tattooed on his chest, and his arms were full of tendon flesh, as strong as a bear, and it was not too much to say that it was a bear's strength.

This person's name is Capture Tiger, one of the four masters of the capital and one of the four chiefs of Tsing Yi Wei, who is responsible for protecting the security of the gate of the imperial city today.

He must protect the emperor's safety, and the pressure is not small, but this is his own responsibility, and he will never give up.

The tiger leaned against the city wall, hugged his chest, motionless as a mountain, had no breath, and if he didn't perceive it carefully, he couldn't find it at all, as if he was hiding.

However, his tiger eyes stared at the gate of the imperial city, as well as the outside of the city gate, observing the crowd coming in and out of the gate, but if he found any suspicious person, he would send troops to take it down directly.

Suddenly, a magnificent carriage came at the gate of the city.

This caught his attention.

The more magnificent it is, the more things you bring, and the more people you bring, the easier it is to fish in troubled waters.

The forbidden army at the gate of the city was routinely inspected, and the people in the carriage had to come down, and the things brought into the city had to be searched before they could enter the city.

A woman with a headscarf came down from the carriage, pinching the hem of her skirt, and her movements were very light, like the eldest lady of a family.

From the side, it also has a white veil.

Either they can't see people, or there are ghosts.

Capture the tiger said secretly in his heart.

"Take the veil off." The hand-held Janissory soldier said sternly.

The servant on the side complained bitterly: "My young lady has had a strange illness since she was a child, and her face is too ugly, so I am afraid of scaring the soldier." ”

"Picked!" The forbidden soldier was unmoved and said indifferently.

"This..."

The servant still looked bitter, but the woman next to her was obedient and honestly took off the veil.

"Is it okay?"

The woman spoke softly, her voice slightly hoarse, but gentle.

When the forbidden soldiers saw the woman's appearance, their pupils shrank and they were stunned for a moment.

This woman's appearance is too strange!

On the face of a good goose egg, there are two more black things on the cheeks, like birthmarks, like something, stuck to the skin, even on the lips, and half of them are stained.

The whole face is purple and purple in the middle, and the forehead and mouth are more or less with a little bit, which looks very ugly.

The only thing I could see was those big eyes, bright and moving, like stars.

No wonder the veil is worn.

"Uh... The headscarf was also taken off. "The Praetorian soldiers maintained their professionalism and tried not to react too much.

The woman did as she was told, and pulled her black headscarf.

A supple white hair, fluttering in the wind, is extremely beautiful in the sun.

"This is..."

This kind of hair color is obviously the first time that a forbidden soldier has seen it.

The servant on the side explained: "My young lady was born like this, and the doctor said that something was missing from the congenital, so it became like this." ”

The Praetorian soldier nodded, and was about to let him go.

At some point, the tiger appeared behind several people.

"I've seen the Commander."

When the soldiers of the forbidden army saw the comer, they respectfully clasped their fists and gave a military salute.

The other party's level is even higher than the real leader, but they don't know it, it's just called that.

The tiger squinted and stared straight at the eldest lady in the middle.

The woman's gaze did not dodge, but she was a little timid, very pitiful.

"This general, did I do something wrong, why did you keep staring at me..."

"Where did you come from, where did you go?"

The tiger slowly spoke, and his voice was as loud as thunder.

"Here's our invitation."

When the servant saw this battle, he hurriedly handed over a letter.

Capture Hu spread out the paper and looked at it, and muttered: "Jinzhou Commercial Bank Zhang's family, Wang Shilang's family? ”

"That's right, my lord listened to the Sanpin Rite Department, and this time I entered Beijing just to see the dragon's face." The servant bowed and smiled.

After seeing it, he returned the invitation, his face became calm, and he said lightly:

"Let it go."

The two rows of elite forbidden soldiers at the door parted their spears and made way for a large road.

"Thank you, General."

The woman thanked her, put on her headscarf, put on her veil, and got into the carriage.

The tiger looked at the carriage in the distance, and pouted contemptuously.

Sure enough, it's still unsightly.

...

The magnificent carriage slowly galloped into the imperial city, and finally came to a mansion, where the houses belonged to high-ranking officials, and non-high-grade people could not enter.

In the mansion.

The veiled woman got out of the car, and a middle-aged man walked out of the house and bowed:

"Wang, I've seen the saint."

"Well, get up."

The veiled woman answered softly, and there was still a hint of cowardice in her eyes at this time.

The servant on the side had already put away his smiling face, and said solemnly on his face: "We can't wait any longer, now that the Dog Emperor has attacked my sect, the sect members in many places have been uprooted, fortunately, it is timely to conceal it, and there is not much loss, but let it go, it will not be good for us." ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Not long ago, King Yan has been transferred out of Kyoto and headed for the west, and now the only one who can stop us in the capital is Tsing Yi Wei, as long as Emperor Xia dies, the raven will be successful." ”

The veiled woman's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly: "There can't be a mess tonight, we only have one chance." ”

"Don't worry, it's all arranged, tonight is the best time."

"Lord Raven will bless us."
