The night has come, the Linglong tower is dazzling, the splendid is not like the scene of the world, the surrounding lake ships are reflected by the neon light on the tower is very colorful, tonight the Linglong Tower is the most in Yangzhou.

On one of the floors of the tower, a large cubicle was filled with guests, all of whom were figures with heads and faces.

There are more than 40 jade tables on both sides of the Aisle aisle, and there is a separate boat-shaped long table in the deepest part, which is different from the rest of the tables, and seems to be more luxurious and luxurious.

I heard that a big man was going to arrive tonight, and that single table was prepared for it.

The tables on both sides were full of people, including people from the Zhenghou Mansion, people from the Song General's Mansion, people from the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce, people from the Nouveau riche Sun Mansion, and Liang Zhongsheng from the Yellow Gate, the heads and elders of several major sects in the central states of Yan Kingdom, several martial arts masters, as well as the Household Department Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites, and so on.

Only the top empty position.

"Who is coming tonight, sitting alone with such a big show?"

"I don't know, could it be the emperor, or the prince?"

"Who knows, a group of old friends were having a good time, and suddenly there was a big man who was serious, how could everyone have fun. ”

The guests were talking about it, but no one dared to shout loudly, after all, this was not like an ordinary family banquet, and they were afraid of causing trouble for no reason.

After Lu Jingyuan entered the banquet, he looked left and right, and found that there was an acquaintance not far from the right, it was Song Qun from the General's Mansion, he was overjoyed, got up and walked over.

"Yo, Miss Tao, why are we meeting again. ”

"Hello Gongzi Lu, I am fortunate to participate in such a grand event tonight, and I am also stained with Brother Song's light. Tao Ruan sat at another table, tasting the crystal grapes while talking to Lu Jingyuan, and his small mouth blossomed.

"She, as soon as she enters the door, she keeps eating, she is too greedy. Song Qun smiled.

"And if it weren't for the fact that this girl wouldn't have eaten so much today. Tao Ruan rolled his eyes at Song Qun.

"Miss Tao likes to eat grapes, so let her eat more, we are not bad in Yangzhou, and it is enough. ”

"Song Qun, listen to what Lu Gongzi said, see how generous others are, I ate a small pot, and you keep staring at me. Tao Ruan protected the silver basin full of grapes with both hands, pouted and looked at Song Qun, staring at the big watery eyes.

"I'm afraid that if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat anything more delicious for a while, really, such a big person, and a child's temper. Song Qun didn't look at her, he picked up his glass and drank leisurely, the wine treasured by this exquisite pagoda was really extraordinary and addictive.

"Who is this?" Tao Ruan noticed that there was a woman behind Lu Jingyuan, who was very good-looking, with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, a thin and delicate nose bridge, thin red lips at the top and thick at the bottom, and a snow-white complexion. The young girl, dressed in a bright red brocade dress and a soft-wool brocade cloak tied outside, nodded and smiled at Tao Ruan.

"This is the little girl in my house, and she is my confidant, named Ziling. Lu Jingyuan said.

"Hello Miss Ziling, my name is Tao Ruan, a friend of Song Gongzi. Tao Ruan looked at the good-looking young woman's eyes, like a pair of crescent moons.

"Hello Miss Tao. Ziling also had a good image of the strange woman she met for the first time, but this strange girl seemed to be a foodie? Ziling glanced at her a few times, and then swept her gaze in other directions.

Ziling looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the front table opposite, there was a handsome young monk who was talking with those court officials, probably sensing that someone was staring at him, and the young monk also turned his head carelessly.

"Acquaintances. The young monk whispered, but the rest did not hear.

The young monk gave Ziling a meaningful look, not knowing what he wanted to express, but it was by no means a kind look.

"White Feather. Lu Jingyuan obviously also saw the young monk, his face sank, it was really a narrow road, just like Zheng Yunxiao, he couldn't get rid of it like a headless lonely soul.

"Childe, let's go back. Ziling called softly.

"Okay, go back and sit. ”

Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, a person suddenly broke into the main gate, and everyone in the cabinet, whether it was the mainstay of the court, or the head of a famous sect, or the predator of a wealthy family competing for hegemony in a state, stood up and kept silent.

This is not an ordinary person.

I saw the young man who stepped into the threshold with one foot, dressed in a golden robe, embroidered with a four-clawed dragon embroidered on the robe, majestic and like the sun.

The young man has a pair of eyes full of charm, his face is upright, not handsome but better than the air, this person walked straight to the end of the single table after entering the door, he followed an old eunuch wearing a crown of flowers, his face was fair, there was no trace of beard on his face, the old eunuch was feminine, he looked approachable, but there was a murderous intent hidden in his pupils, I was afraid that the old eunuch was no longer in the category of the Eight Realms of Martial Arts.

A man in a yellow robe, a one-year-old eunuch, and the identities of the two visitors were instantly clear, they were the eldest prince and the South Gate Da Mink Temple.

"See the Great Prince. Everyone in the audience spoke in unison.

"Everyone, sit down, there is no need for those red tapes tonight, everyone is relaxed and happy, there is no need to be like in the court in the past, I am just happy when I come." The eldest prince sat on the jade stool, waved his hand, and then plucked a crystal clear purple grape and put it in his mouth.

"Sit down, everyone, don't spoil the atmosphere, tonight is a cheerful feast. Marquis Zheng took the lead in sitting down, and the eldest prince and Marquis Zheng glanced at each other a few times in understanding, and then they didn't look at him.

"Tonight gathered a lot of famous people inside and outside Yangzhou, I was tired of staying in the capital, so I came to Yangzhou to play for a few days, just in time for this exquisite tower event. ”

"If the eldest prince comes to Yangzhou, if there is any need to send someone to find me, I will definitely let the eldest prince eat and have fun in Yangzhou!" The Ministry of Rites raised his hand respectfully towards the eldest prince and said.

"Then there is the Ministry of Labor and Rites. The eldest prince took a sip of the wine, and felt that the wine was good.

"Yes, the subordinates are just doing their best, and they are really stained with the light of the great prince!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu smiled very happily, and he was naturally ecstatic that he could be appreciated by the master as a subordinate of the great prince's lineage.

"Hey, I heard that something big happened in Yangzhou City a few days ago? The eldest prince looked at the Liang waiter who was not far from him in the stand.

"Back to the eldest prince, the ministers are investigating, this matter is a little strange, it is not an ordinary murder. Liang Zhongsheng looked at the eldest prince with a curious face without changing his face, he knew that the eldest prince would not ask questions for no reason.

"Oh, what's the strange thing, let's hear it, I only heard a little in the capital. ”

"I'm afraid it's not people who killed the assassin, but monsters, there are monsters lurking in my Yangzhou, I don't know what is brewing, the ministers have been investigating everywhere in recent days, and there are some clues, and the truth will come out in a while, and the culprit will also be punished. ”

"Then you must grasp this matter well and crack this matter as soon as possible, there are still demons in the central part of my Yan Kingdom that are rampant, and we must not tolerate it. The eldest prince's face sank, and he couldn't tolerate the demon.

"That's right, something like this happened in Yangzhou, you have to hurry up, don't let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty see the joke. Marquis Zheng took a slight sip of wine and stared at Liang Zhongsheng casually.

"The subordinates obeyed. Liang Zhongsheng saluted to the eldest prince, and when he withdrew his gaze, he caught a glimpse of Bai Yu, a Taoist monk from other states, who made slight eye contact with him, and then naturally shifted away, as if the water did not interfere with the river water.

But Liang Zhongsheng knew that this Taoist monk called Bai Yu was not a good person, but the monster should have nothing to do with him, but this person also had an unknown purpose.

"Song Qun is here?" The Great Prince called out loudly.

"Scholar Song Qun is here! Song Qun was very surprised when he heard that the eldest prince suddenly called him by name, he had never met with the eldest prince on weekdays, let alone the friendship between master and servant.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the son of a great general, and you have the temperament of a literati and elegant manner, which is very different from your father. The eldest prince glanced at it a few times, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

"The scholar Song Qun has studied since he was a child, and he has not practiced martial arts, which makes the eldest prince smile. Song Qun smiled and sat down slowly.

"Then Lu Jingyuan is there?" The eldest prince shouted again.

"Martial artist, Lu Jingyuan is here. Lu Jingyuan got up slowly, bowed his head and bent over to salute with his fists.

"You are very handsome, and you are quite a martial artist, I still remember what your uncle looked like when he was a general in the court, but he has already been buried on the battlefield, what a pity. The eldest prince was a little moved in his eyes.

"The death of my uncle, the grass people are also very sad, but people can't be resurrected after death, and besides, it is worth it to say that my uncle sacrificed his life for the country. ”

"Yes, how many people who sacrificed their lives for the country are engraved on the monument of merit, and they are innumerable, so let's not mention him. The eldest prince waved his hand and motioned for Lu Jingyuan to sit down, and Lu Jingyuan obeyed the order.

"There's something going on tonight, it's a bit boring. The eldest prince closed his eyes and raised his spirits.

"Yes, yes. The Ministry of Rites hurriedly sent someone out of the pavilion and stared at the door with an excited face.

Suddenly, there were seven or eight beautiful dancers with graceful demeanor, and these dancers were all the signature celebrities of "Fu Huan", all of whom had extraordinary dancing skills, and the viewers who could be fascinated were fascinated.

A piano sounded, those white-skinned and beautiful dancers swayed their limbs and began to dance, the young women who danced gracefully raised their hands and feet to exude the peculiar charm from the Xiliang style, the royal song "Langshang World" of Qinping Palace, performed vividly here, but now the royal family of Xiliang no longer has the opportunity to watch this graceful dance.

"Good dance, good dance, this woman from Xiliang Country is really good at singing and dancing, so I can let the Maiko of Yan Country also learn a few paragraphs. The eldest prince was interested, clapping his hands and saying that he was fast.

"If the eldest prince likes it, the subordinates can send all these Xiliang maiko to the imperial palace. ”

"No need, just find a time for them to come to my house to teach those maikos, and leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Then it is the same as what the prince said, and the ministers obeyed the order. ”

......

After the night banquet, the eldest prince took the first step, and everyone waited for the eldest prince to leave before leaving, outside the pavilion gate, Zhong Jiuqiu whispered a few words in Zheng Yunxiao's ear, and then left in a hurry, Bai Yu saw it in his eyes, laughed in his heart, but did not say it, tonight Liang Zhongsheng swore in front of everyone to make a guarantee, you wait for the monster to start to be afraid now? I'm afraid it's too late? Besides, it has nothing to do with me, what am I concerned about? Bai Yu walked out of the pavilion door leisurely.
