When the sky was bright, Ling Hao, who had put the dozen or so remnants into the storage ring, returned to the Imperial City Inspection Division's office, and after briefly explaining the matter, he put on his official uniform that looked like a pharmacist's robe and went to the palace.

The gates of the palace were wide open, and many officials from all parts of the dynasty, as well as envoys from neighboring countries, were waiting in line to enter.

The security work of this birthday banquet was carried out by the Imperial City Garrison and the Ouchi guards, and the inventory was very strict.

Since the palace door was opened last night, many thieves who wanted to enter the palace to assassinate have been arrested, and now they are all locked in the prison that has just been built, waiting to be beheaded.

At this moment, guarding the Vermilion Bird Gate of the palace is a brother of Fang Qiang, named Su Lei, who has also drunk with Ling Hao, and has dealt with a lot of dealings, and is very familiar.

Ling Hao approached, and without waiting to say hello, Su Lei ran over quickly.

"Brother Su, come to search me?" Ling Hao asked with a smile.

"Don't, I'm afraid that after searching you, the guards will go to my house when I turn around. Su Lei said in a low voice, "Commander Ling, you killed someone in the Nanhe Palace" yesterday?"

Ling Hao didn't deny it: "It's just a matter of arresting the criminal, and in the process, the criminal resisted a little, and I started a little harder." Moreover, the criminal also bribed several cultivators from the Nanhe Royal Mansion to block it, so that I could clean it up together. ”

"Afterwards, in order to thank me, King Nanhe also gave me some antiques. ”

Su Lei was dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "Yes, it should be said so." This matter has shaken the entire capital now, and when I enter the palace later, His Majesty will definitely ask. Brother Fang told me just now, let me remind you. ”

"Thank you, and I'll invite you to drink when you come back. ”

As a member of the second grade, of course Ling Hao didn't have to queue up, and after a brief chat with Su Lei, he entered the palace through the Vermilion Bird Gate under the gaze of everyone.

The cold palace to the north of the palace has been completely bulldozed, and a huge square has been erected, and the materials are very elaborate for today's birthday banquet.

It is said that the birthday banquet is always postponed, and it is because the square is not gorgeous enough, it was built three times in a row and demolished three times in a row, so that it has the current scale. For this reason, Shangshu of the Ministry of Great Chu Industry was almost exhausted to death.

Ling Hao glanced at the square from a distance and sighed in his heart.

Even if the Great Chu Dynasty almost exhausted the whole country for Xiang Qiling's birthday banquet, it could not change the impression of the Great Chu Dynasty as a poor and remote country in the eyes of those ancient forces.

There is no way, the level difference is too big.

The impression created by this level gap is not at all something that can be changed by slapping a swollen face and filling a fat person.

When you meet someone with a good character, you may not say anything, but you will just show your face by the way, and symbolically wish you a birthday.

Don't even think about it.

If people can come and show their faces, it is already very face-saving in the eyes of others. In a poor and remote place, the existence of the emperor is just a tall man in the eyes of others, how can it be worth preparing a birthday gift?

If you meet someone with a bad character, it is possible to smash the field.

And if it is smashed, it will be smashed, if the Great Chu Dynasty does not want to destroy the country, it has to endure it.

Otherwise, if the other party's elders take out any of them, they will be able to sweep the entire Great Chu Dynasty and bulldoze the palace.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, and weak countries have no initiative, as has been the case since ancient times.

Ling Hao came early, and helped out with the attendants in the venue.

After that, he found his place and sat on it with his eyes closed.

The seats have obviously been carefully arranged, and there are Zhao Hongju, Dong Bujun, Chi Fu, Shen Yonghai and other acquaintances at the same table with Ling Hao, as for the rest, they have all dealt with each other.

As the sky gradually brightened, more and more people began to gather around, and most of the people who were eligible to attend the birthday banquet came.

Because today is a happy day for the entire Great Chu Dynasty, the Great Chu officials who meet, even if they have a discordant relationship on weekdays, have a smile on their faces when they meet today.

After that, the young cultivators from the great forces on the continent who had been inherited for a long time also came here.

Ling Hao had basically dealt with those big forces in his previous life, so just by looking at his clothes, he could know where they came from.

"Sky Wolf Island, Eagle Perched Stream, War Frenzy Palace, Mountain Roar Alliance...... Then, in addition to the Ling family, there are also the Huyan family, the Chu family, the Tuoba family, and the Wang family......"

Ling Hao was secretly surprised to see that the number of people from those big forces on the continent had reached a rather astonishing level.

So many people? Why haven't you heard of them before?

The informant who was now very familiar with Ling Hao was the most well-informed in the entire capital. But even the tipster knew only a small number of them.

These people have been dormant all along?

What is the purpose of their hibernation?

Xu Yantian's face is big enough, just to let him choose a suitable disciple, all parties in the mainland actually sent people?

But through observation, Ling Hao found that no matter which side sent the manpower, the configuration was basically a core disciple plus a number of side branches.

Xiang Hei Snake said that the Great Chu Dynasty would become a place of wrestling in the Southern Regions for the heirs of those great forces that had been inherited on the mainland for a long time.

It seems that it is really true.

But what is the criterion for distinguishing the strength and weakness of this wrestling?

The process of the birthday banquet has been rehearsed many times, so it is very smooth and smooth to go down step by step.

During this period, Dong Kun and Dong Qingqing, brothers and sisters, as well as Xiang Heisnake, who was wearing court clothes, also came to this table and sat down.

After arriving here, Dong Qingqing directly stuffed the panda that insisted on following Ling Hao.

"After this guy knew that I was here for the birthday banquet, he held my leg and didn't let go, and he didn't listen to any persuasion. Dong Qingqing said, "So, I brought it." ”

Ling Hao was speechless.

For pandas, nothing is more important than eating.

It understands human speech, and in its opinion, the emperor's birthday banquet will definitely have a lot of delicious things.

However, seeing that Dong Qingqing seemed to have returned to normal, Ling Hao's previous worried heart was also slightly relieved.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to be intimidated by the killing and bloodshed in Nanhe Wangfu yesterday.

After the Great Chu Emperor Xiang Qiling sacrificed to the sky, hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and nobles congratulated the emperor on his 60th birthday. The congratulatory voice came from afar, and it seemed very grand.

It's just that Xiang Qiling has just finished worshipping the sky, and has just returned to his dragon chair, ready to announce the start of the birthday banquet, and when he drinks with everyone present, the figure flashed, and one person rushed directly to the high platform in the center of the square, which was originally used to worship the sky, but now after all the ritual utensils are withdrawn, it looks very empty.

It was a young man who looked very ordinary, but his eyebrows were full of arrogance.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were turned, the young man laughed loudly:

"Since there is a ready-made place, then I will take advantage of this Great Chu Emperor's birthday banquet to test the strength of the cultivators of the Great Chu Dynasty!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone present in the Great Chu Dynasty, from the emperor to the guards in the Great Inner Palace, changed their faces slightly.

Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

I was still wondering if there would be a smashing scene.

As a result, this smashing field really appeared!
