Chapter 129: The Puzzle
More than ten days before the arrival of the twilight, Feng Ningshuang and Fu Tianji came to Yindu and settled in a luxury inn.
Yindu is really lively, noisy street performers, with monkeys, snakes, swallowing swords and breathing fire; All kinds of snack stalls opened by harmless demons, sugar-fried earthworms, crispy fried leeches, and marinated four-legged snakes, are strange and all-encompassing.
Fu Tianji is accustomed to it, the wind condensation frost is fresh, and he pulls Fu Tianji to soak in the market for several days until he is aesthetically tired.
On this day, she suddenly said to Fu Tianji: "The palace banquet is tomorrow." ”
"What? Changed your mind and decided to go? ”
"It's all ready, go check it out."
Fu Tianji nodded: "Okay." ”
**
On the second day of entering the palace, Feng Ningshuang wore a fiery red dress, Fu Tianji was dressed in indigo and white, the two of them were like fairy couples, and even the official who led the way couldn't help but peek frequently.
The palace banquet was held in the Xuande Palace, and when the ceremonial officer brought the two of them, Feng Ningshuang glanced at the scene in front of him, and his eyes almost didn't fall off-
I don't know what variety of big flowers are, they bloom red and gorgeous, forming a sea of red flowers; Embroidered gold red carpet with red lanterns hanging all around...... Red and red, the eyes are full of red, and there is a small red jade and gold coral tree on the table of each guest, and even the dragon chair in the center above the stairs is covered with a gorgeous fur - a "trench" full of eyes.
Fu Tianji took the dumbfounded Feng Ningshuang into his seat and said, "Sit down and enjoy it slowly." ”
"What is the reward? It's all people's fat and people's ointment! Feng Ningshuang clenched his little fist angrily.
Fu Tianji glanced at the back of the official and said, "The emperor has been to Mengji Mountain and seen the Xianmen banquet, he definitely doesn't want to fall behind...... What are you doing? ”
At this time, Feng Ningshuang was lying on the table, looking at the table like a cross-eyed, and touched it carefully with one hand: "This table is chic, you look at this wood, this texture, this texture." ”
Fu Tianji smiled: "Just after scolding, will you appreciate other people's tastes?" ”
Before Feng Ningshuang could answer, a group of people suddenly surrounded him, all of them were familiar faces. For example, Xie Jin, the slender bamboo master, etc.
It turned out that the emperor invited them one by one.
Of course, these immortal cultivators did not come because of the emperor's face, but for Fu Tianji.
The dramatic scene in front of the Jinglan Palace, as well as the changes in Shushan, Wei Yanyu had no news, Fu Tianji reconciled with Feng Ningshuang and returned and killed the demon king...... It's really a lot of gossip.
It can be seen that people like to eat melons, the same in ancient and modern times.
Feng Ningshuang didn't like to be watched, Fu Tianji took her aside, and turned around to send these melon-eating crowds away.
Feng Ningshuang was bored, and when she looked around, she suddenly heard someone calling her, and looked back - Lu Yu.
She arched her hand: "Perch, long time no see." ”
Lu Yu smiled: "Feng Gongzi, don't pretend this time?" ”
"At this time and at that time, I was too weak to hide my identity. It's different now. ”
Lu Yu was speechless for a moment, and said politely: "The girl is as straightforward as ever." ”
Feng Ningshuang laughed: "I want to be low-key, but my strength doesn't allow it." ”
“…… I didn't think you and Fu Shangxian would come to such a banquet. ”
"In order to eat your Mengzhu Mountain's specialty peach, I heard that you brought a lot of it this time?" Wind Frost swallowed.
Lu Yu smiled, clapped his palms, and the fairy attendant immediately went down, and after a short time, he carried two large baskets of peaches and distributed them one by one.
The sweet and fragrant smell filled the audience, and many people killed it in twos and threes, still salivating and searching around for peaches.
It can be seen that the temperament of foodies is the same among ancient and modern people.
Feng Ningshuang stole a few peaches under the hem of his skirt, and was about to feast on them, when suddenly a roll call came: "Your Majesty has arrived-"
Everyone immediately returned to their seats, straightened their expressions, and Feng Ningshuang had no choice but to swallow his saliva, and endure the cravings in his stomach first.
The canopy is over the top, the guard of honor is mighty, and the emperor Lao'er makes a gorgeous appearance surrounded by a group of people.
Wind Frost rolls her eyes.
Rong Fengheng followed behind the emperor, and when he passed by Feng Ningshuang and Fu Tianji, he suddenly turned his head and winked at her and Fu Tianji.
Wind Frost also grimaced him in return.
The Emperor turned back suddenly.
Feng Ningshuang's facial features were too late to return to their positions in a hurry, and an epic grimace came into the eyes of the emperor and the eunuchs.
The air was suddenly quiet.
Feng Ningshuang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Long time no see? Is this a reminder of the ugliness he made last time in Mengzhu Mountain? The emperor's face turned pale.
Fu Tianji stepped forward: "Clumsy and straightforward, Your Majesty forgive me." ”
Clumsy? Fu Tianji is telling him that Feng Ning Frost is protected by him! The emperor's face was even more pickle green.
The father-in-law behind him hurriedly came up and said a few words, and the emperor suppressed his anger, put away his eyes and went up the steps, sat down on the dragon chair, and looked at the field.
Then, there is the opening remarks of the Son of Heaven, the theme idea: Under Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
In a word: I am the Son of Heaven, no matter how good your immortal sect is, you have to be respectful to me.
After a few thousand words, the emperor's opening remarks finally ended and the banquet began.
Exquisite dishes are served one by one in this grand atmosphere. Dozens of palace ladies holding pipa and dressing exquisitely performed songs and dances, adding another visual feast to everyone.
The banquet was lively, staggered, the emperor above talked about state affairs with the relatives of the country, the officials of the court below were warm and greeting, and there was a small exchange between the sects of cultivating immortals. To each his own, to each his own joy.
The bright moon climbed on the branches, and when night fell, the cold on the field became stronger, and the wine could drive away the cold, so everyone drank even more.
A new round of singing and dancing is on the stage.
It's a sword dance. The dancers are heroic, and the long swords dance into a ball of light and shadow.
The emperor suddenly spoke to Feng Ningshuang in the banquet: "I heard that the Wind Lady is well-informed, I want to ask you, which one is more in your eyes than the Gathering Immortals Conference?" ”
Feng Ningshuang was stunned for a moment by this question.
Send a proposition.
If she replied that Mengzhushan was better, she would not give the emperor face;
If the emperor is better, the various sects will laugh at her for flattering and insincere, and she may offend Mengjun Mountain, and there will be no good peaches to eat in the future.
This emperor turtle grandson really holds a grudge!
She thought for a moment and said, "Back to Your Majesty, in my opinion, these two things are nothing more than Er'er. ”
Everyone was stunned - directly offended both sides, so fierce?
Feng Ningshuang said: "Your Majesty must have heard about me. In fact, after all these twists and turns, my state of mind is no longer the same as before. For me, my husband Fu Tianji and my harmony are the best banquet in the world. ”
Fu Tianji hooked the corner of his lips, took her over, and pecked her on the lips in a grand manner.
This wave of dog food was scattered unexpectedly, and the emperor had nothing to say.
That's when the unexpected happened.
The Emperor suddenly clutched his chest and fell to the ground, his face distorted in pain.
Everyone was taken aback - it can't be angry, right?
However, the next moment, everyone was like the emperor, unsteady, clutching their chests and collapsing.
The scene was suddenly crooked.
"Toxic. Someone poisoned the food...... Who is ......" Lu Yu staggered to his feet, and within a second, he fell again.
No one answered, and after a long few breaths, the only one in the audience who stood up was Fu Tianji.
"It's the Demon King Chi Xuan."
The five words were like a bombshell, which made everyone's souls tremble a few times - this banquet had already been under Chi Xuan's surveillance, and it was to wipe them out.
There are so many immortal cultivation sects, so well-informed, but they can't detect which dish is poisonous or what kind of poison it is.
They were already weak in their hands and feet, and they could only look at Fu Tianji - only he and Feng Ningshuang were not poisoned, could it be that they had already noticed it?
Lu Yu was shocked: "Chi Xuan is ...... Where? ”
"Right here."
As soon as Fu Tianji's voice fell, his figure flickered, and the next moment he came to the emperor's seat, and the sword flashed, directly taking one of them.
His target was the prince who was sitting next to the emperor - Rong Fengheng.
