"Why haven't you eaten in days?" Hachi asked, puzzled.

In such a blink of an eye, Hongqiang picked up another piece of pastry and took a bite, and said indistinctly: "I'm saving money." ”

Xiao Ba was stunned, he remembered that since he met Hongqiang, Hongqiang was trying his best to make money, not letting go of any opportunity to make money, and he gave her some, as if he was very short of money. Hachi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What money are you saving?" If you need help, I have some here. ”

After Hongqiang stuffed the pastry into her mouth, she picked up the water cup on the table, took a few sips, swallowed the pastry, and then patted her chest, and said with a look of almost choking: "I'm saving up for a dowry, don't save more, I will be bullied if I get married in the future." ”

Looking at Hongqiang's serious face, the corners of Xiao Hachi's eyes twitched, although he knew that the other party was not telling the truth, the reason he could find was too bad...

"Okay, don't talk about me, starling, tell me how you did the *** thief. Although Hongqiang looked like she was whispering, her voice was really not small, at least many people around her heard her words. At this moment, these people all turned their ears to hear the self-description of a teenager who walked towards the ** thief.

Xiaoba has a little headache, and finally knows what it means to rather offend a villain than a woman. Regarding Hongqiang's words, he wanted to refute it, but in this public, if the other party was saying something, wouldn't he be even more unable to get off the stage. So Xiaoba simply pretended not to hear, and was stuffy there, using the tactic of pretending to be confused.

Seeing Xiao Ba's embarrassment, Hongqiang grinned and said, "Let's get down to business, why did you pass by here?

"Heavenly Palace Feast?" Xiao Hachi shook his head and said, "I don't know what Heavenly Palace Feast is, I just happened to be passing by here..."

"Passing by, just when they were taking a bath, they passed by someone's house?" Hongqiang blinked and looked at Xiao Hachi with big eyes, Xiao Hachi was speechless, and quickly opened the topic and said, "What kind of Heavenly Palace feast are you talking about?"

Hongqiang didn't continue to tease Xiaoba, but explained: "You don't know about the Heavenly Palace Feast, this is said to be a prosperous era that only comes once in ten years, and a huge banquet will be held in the Heavenly Palace, inviting guests from all over the world, saying that it is a banquet, but in fact it is not all, going to the Heavenly Palace Feast is not only to enjoy the food, but more importantly, to participate in a selection!"

"What selection?" Hachi asked.

Hongqiang said in a low voice: "Of course, it is a talent who is selected to join the Heavenly Palace!"

"Join the Heavenly Palace?By the way, where is the Heavenly Palace, why haven't I heard of it, is there a dynasty called the Heavenly Palace?"

When Hongqiang heard Xiao Ba's question, she rolled her eyes, patted her head and said: "Are you from this world or not, you don't even know the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace is not a country, and it doesn't belong to any dynasty, his location is the center of the entire continent." It is said that the Heavenly Palace is not big, but it is the real ruler of the entire continent, and those emperors of a country, when they go to the Heavenly Palace, they also go to worship, even if a small steward of the Heavenly Palace can control the replacement of the prince of a country. Therefore, as long as you join the Heavenly Palace, you will soar to the sky. By the way, it is also said that the emperors of various countries will also go to the heavenly palace banquet with the royal family members to report on the affairs of the country in the past ten years. If you don't go, you will be removed from the list and replaced by someone else. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ba's eyes lit up, and he asked carefully: "Then how to sign up, how many places are there, and how many places are there?" Are there any other benefits besides joining the Heavenly Palace?"

"Joining Tiangong is the biggest benefit, what more do you want. Hongqiang pursed her lips and said: "But it seems that there really is, the Heavenly Palace Feast is held once every ten years, and only three people will be recruited to join the Heavenly Palace each time, and the first place in the selection, the Heavenly Palace will fulfill a wish for him, of course, this wish can not be dangerous to the people of the Heavenly Palace, but I heard that this wish can kill the gods." As for how to sign up, I don't know, let's get that and see, but the standard for participation seems to be under 25 years old. ”

"Can you kill the gods!?" When Xiao Hachi heard this, he had already ignored all the other words, "As long as I can pass the selection of guò, can't I rescue Xia Yu?" Thinking of this, Xiao Hachi's eyes became hot, and there was a belief in victory in his eyes. And if they go, it is very likely that Xia Yu will be brought with them, otherwise Xiao Ba believes that Lu Youxue will take advantage of this gap to send someone to rescue Xia Yu after knowing that the two of them are going to participate in the Heavenly Palace Feast.

"The feast of the Heavenly Palace, when will it start? Hachi hurriedly asked Red Qiang.

"It's still early, there is still half a year, are you going? Do you have an invitation?" Xia Yu looked at Xiao Ba.

"Ah, do you still need an invitation?" Hachi exclaimed, it was like a basin of cold water, which fell directly on his head, leaving him speechless.

Hongqiang looked like a fool and said: "Of course, who in the world doesn't want to join the Heavenly Palace, if there is no invitation, wouldn't the Heavenly Palace have already been crowded?" ”

"Oh..."Xiao Hachi responded, a little frustrated, he didn't expect to have an invitation, it seems that he has to find a way to get one, even if it costs a lot, he has to participate.

"Hmm... Seeing that you want to go like this, I'll sell you one. Red Rose said suddenly.

"Oh..."Hachi replied casually, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately reacted, stood up, moved a chair to sit next to Hongqiang, and said with some excitement: "Do you have an invitation?"

Red Rose smiled evilly and said, "Why are you so close to me?

"Uh... It's not, it's not..."Hachi hurriedly explained, picking up his chair and moving it to the side.

"Haha, you're so good. Red Qiang smiled heartlessly and said, "Okay, I won't tease you." ”

Xiaoba was speechless, and said in his heart: "You don't tease me anymore." ”

Hongqiang continued: "Of course I have an invitation, why don't I go over there? After speaking, she took out a golden card from the small bag on her waist, this card Xiaoba couldn't see what material it was, but there was a faint coercion on it, obviously it had been eaten by someone in a special way, although the coercion was very light, and it was not enough to affect people's normal senses, but this coercion gave people the feeling that only the true gods from the nine heavens could have, and it was a different level of feeling.

When he saw this card, Hachi took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. Judging from this card alone, he knew that the Heavenly Palace Feast was by no means simple, and it seemed that it would not be easy to win easily.

"How do you sell this card?" Hachi asked, looking at Red Rose.

"Hmm... Starling, we're so acquainted... I can't tell you that it's too expensive, so I'll give you a 20% discount on the market price. "Red Rose is staggering.

"It's okay, there's no need to do this, I'll give you the market price. Xiao Ba opened his mouth and said, he attaches great importance to this invitation, so don't say that the market price is 80% off, even if it is higher, he will ask for it.

"Well, then thank you Starling, this is a million taels of gold. Red Rose said with a smile.

"Well, well, a hundred... One million!?" Xiaoba originally wanted to agree happily, but when he heard one million taels, he was dumbfounded, and looked at Hongqiang and said, "You say it again, I heard you right." ”

"A million taels of gold, that's right. Red Rose said with a smile.

Xiao Ba was dumbfounded, he never thought that there would be so much money, he thought that a few thousand taels of gold would be enough, and even more expensive, 12,000 or 20,000, he had it, but this one mouth was one million, Xiao Ba had never seen so much money when he was so big, and said with some embarrassment: "That... Can you give me the card first, and I'll give it back to you slowly..."

Hongqiang looked at Xiao Ba and said with some embarrassment: "Starling, you believe me, I really didn't hack you." It's this price, and it's still priceless, just ask around. The reason why I set off so early this time was because I had two more invitations on me, and I wanted to go and sell them in advance... I'm also in a hurry for money... So..."Speaking of this, Hongqiang lowered her head, a little embarrassed to look at Hachi again, she does have her difficulties.

Seeing this, Xiaoba was embarrassed to embarrass Hongqiang, so he said, "I know, it's okay, then can you do me a favor?"

"Except for borrowing money, you can do anything!" replied Red Rose without hesitation.

Hearing Hongqiang's words, Xiaoba shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You, I really don't know what you need so much money for." ”

Red Rose spat out her cute little tongue and smiled, "Secret!"

"Okay, then you can help me keep this invitation a little, if I haven't gone to you to buy it three days before the Heavenly Palace feast starts, you can sell it to someone else, there are still six months left, I'll go and see if I can make it up." ”

After hearing this, Hongqiang nodded in agreement, took out a stone from her bag and handed it to Xiao Badao: "This is the alphabet stone, and you can find me by following the direction it guides when the time comes." ”

After Hachi glanced at the stone in his hand, he paid for the wine and hurriedly said goodbye to Red Rose.
