Could it be that he knows that I am reconciled with Ponzo, so he wants to use this to blackmail?

But it's not like it, if it's a threat, you have to put forward conditions first, and if I don't allow him to turn over this matter again to be a coercion, it's reasonable.

Now that he has spent a lot of money to invite me over, he doesn't mention the content of the task first, just all kinds of praise and banquet entertainment, is it really just trying to please me?

"Oh yes, when you enter the imperial city, are the guards guarding the city embarrassed?"

"No, no! The guards of the city are strict, but when I entered the city gate today, they took the initiative to lead me in, and I thought you specially gave the guards my portrait!"

"It's good if there is, if there is, I can't spare them, today's guards are specially arranged by my subordinates, they have all seen you in the capital before. ”

"Well, then, I remember that one of the guards tied me up at the time!"

"Hahaha! I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I was ignorant at the time, and I was offended, please forgive me!"

"Your Highness is serious, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, otherwise how could the two of us have today's appointment?"

"What the young man said is very true!"

The two walked and chatted, and Xuan Fei couldn't extract any information about this mission from Ning Zhengyuan's mouth.

He pondered in his heart, either he was too prejudiced against Ning Zhengyuan, or he had something else to do this time, and he didn't dare to say it now, for fear of scaring him away.

Although the imperial palace of the East and West Road is much smaller than the imperial palace of the Imperial Dragon Dynasty in memory, it still does not lose its magnificence, the same majestic and magnificent, solemn and gorgeous.

Xuan Fei thought that the second prince would hold a banquet in the side hall, but he didn't expect to come to the main hall of the palace, climbed dozens of steps, and finally entered the palace, where many officials sat on the ground, and there were a few strange-looking people from other places.

The singing and dancing in the hall is leveled, the piano and flute ensemble, and the chimes are all famous.

Didn't you say that it would be a banquet to receive me alone, such a big pomp and circumstance is probably not a celebration of the emperor's birthday, right?

Xuan Fei was a little flattered, and when he saw the person sitting upright above the main hall, he subconsciously understood that he was definitely fooled by Ning Zhengyuan.

The dignified Emperor of the Eastern and Western Dao could come out to meet a monk who had never met before, even if he was a disciple of the Sword Seeking Pavilion, he was far inferior to the two powerhouses of the Xuanzhao Realm beside the emperor, right? What's more, the master of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, He Xuanhai, was also drinking and chatting with Pang Zuo beside him, and the third prince, Ning Wenxian, was also by their side.

Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?

Xuan Fei can be regarded as a person who has seen all kinds of big scenes, and he can't help but feel a little apprehensive at this moment.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, this joke is too big, can you tell me the real purpose of this trip?"

"Hehe, don't worry, young man, you'll know later!"

Ning Zhengyuan walked to the front of the hall with Xuan Fei, and saluted with the surrounding officials, and after the Crane Pavilion Lord and Ning Zhengyuan saluted, they also smiled at each other when they saw Xuan Fei.

It's just that those strange-looking foreign men turned a blind eye and didn't take Ning Zhengyuan seriously at all.

"These people, they look weird, who are?"

"The barbarians of the marginal Fanbang of the Vientiane Domain, under the guise of asking for advice from our Dongzhou Domain, came here to find fault?"

When Ning Zhengyuan mentioned these people, his face showed disgust, as if he had seen something filthy during the meal, and it was difficult to swallow, but his face quickly returned to normal.

"Enlighten my father, disciple of the Sword Pavilion, Xuanfei Shaoxia, I have already invited it, and I also ask my father to show it!"

"Hmm!"

The emperor above the main hall nodded, and then looked at Xuan Fei.

"Handsome figure, extraordinary temperament, as rumored, a young talent, okay! You two sit down first, this banquet has officially begun." ”

When the sound falls, the dancers in the temple dance more agilely, and the melodic of the accompaniment sound is more active.

Beside Hexuanhai, there were two empty seats, which were reserved for Ning Zhengyuan and Xuan Fei.

"Young man, please sit down first!"

Ning Zhengyuan stretched out his hand to guide Xuan Fei to sit down beside He Xuanhai, and he sat on the empty seat next to Xuan Fei.

"Welcome to the young man!"

He Xuanhai first raised his glass to toast to Xuan Fei, then Pang Zuo, and then Ning Wenxian.

Xuan Fei's three glasses are excessive, there is no abnormality, you know, he was also a good hand at the banquet in his previous life, but these people are so mysteriously enthusiastic one by one, which makes Xuan Fei feel worried.

Could it be that he matched Pang Zuo to He Xuanhai in the first sentence, and after these people made friends, they joined forces to deal with themselves? If this is the case, they really responded to that familiar saying and lifted a stone to shoot themselves in the foot!

"Come, Xuanfei Shaoxia, I'll give you a glass below!"

In the end, it was Ning Zhengyuan's turn, and when he was holding up the wine glass in his hand, he was intercepted by Xuan Fei.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, let's make things clear first, let's have a good time again, such a big pomp, you are so mysterious, it's really difficult to have fun again!"

Ning Zhengyuan, He Xuanhai and the others glanced at each other, this look was just like the dark look when Xuan Fei and the two of them were playing with Pang Zuo, Xuan Fei saw it in his eyes, and a bad omen arose in his heart!

"Mo Fei, these guys are really here to harm me, hey! I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet~"

Until now, he has not been able to see through their gameplay, Xuan Fei can only silently admit it, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and take one step at a time.

"Next, do it first and respect!"

Ning Zhengyuan took a sip of the wine, and then gestured to Xuan Fei with the wine glass upside down.

The questions on the wine table are very particular, if the other party drinks it all, but you refuse to drink, it is more uncomfortable than slapping the other party's face, not to mention that the other party is the prince of his country, Xuan Fei has no choice but to accompany him.

"This time, it's time for you to breathe through me!"

After Xuan Fei finished drinking, he put down the wine glass and pretended to be drunk, so as not to be prevaricated by them in the name of toasting.

However, who among the people present didn't know how much a foundation building cultivator had drunk, but they really didn't have any ill will towards Xuan Fei, so no one debunked it.

"Young man, please look at those people!"

Xuan Fei looked in the direction of Ning Zhengyuan's finger, those people looked strange, they were the outsiders who were very unkind to Ning Zhengyuan when they came in.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you want me to deal with them, but their strongest strength is only the Nine Grades of Qi Refining!"

"It's them, but don't underestimate these guys, although their own cultivation is low, they have some magic weapon equipment, and after wearing them, they can easily defeat the peak powerhouse of Xuanzhao!"

"There are such strange things, then aren't these things even more powerful than spirit-level magic weapons!"

"Maybe it's stronger than the spirit-level magic weapon weapon, listen to them, not only can they instantly improve their cultivation through these things, but they can also calculate the opponent's weaknesses and strongest attacks. ”

"It's so powerful, but I'm only a good foundation, how can I be their opponent, the Crane Pavilion Lord and Senior Brother Pang Zuo are both powerhouses in the Xuanzhao Realm, why don't you try it?"

Although Xuan Fei learned the purpose of this trip, he still maintained a certain amount of doubt about their original intentions.

Regardless of the fact that Hexuan, Haihe, and Pang Zuo are both masters of the Xuanzhao Realm, aren't there still two powerhouses at the peak of Xuanfei by the emperor's side? If he really wants to compete, he will not be able to turn to be a mere first-order refiner!

"Xuan Fei Shaoxia didn't know, these two people originally came to my Qianbao Pavilion to consign items, but they had never seen or heard of these items, and they didn't accept them, so they didn't know that they were angered like this, and when they put on these things and started with me, I found out that these things were priceless treasures from afar, and I couldn't beat them who wore these things, so I asked Pang Zuo for help. ”

At this point, Pang Zuo continued.

"Later, I joined forces with the Crane Pavilion Lord, but I was still defeated by them. Unexpectedly, this matter reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was very curious, so he sent the two to the palace, wanting them to show the power of those things. ”

"I didn't expect these guys to understand etiquette, and they spoke against the emperor several times, and finally several strong men around the emperor came out, but they were finally planted in their hands. ”

"They saw that there was no opponent in this capital, so they unscrupulously challenged the emperor, saying that in this Eastern and Western Dao country, the Xuan Fusion Realm, if anyone can win them, they will send a batch of this equipment to the emperor for free, if no one can win, the emperor will be able to buy all the equipment in their hands at the price they set!"

After listening to Hexuan Haihe Pang Zuo's narration, Xuan Fei had a general understanding of the beginning and end of the matter, it turned out that these foreigners were here to sell equipment, but if the equipment could not be sold, they planned to buy and sell it in the form of a gamble.

It's a pity that the strong people on the battlefield are all defeated under them, so these were forced to think of Xuan Fei out of desperation.

However, Xuan Fei still didn't understand, why there were so many strong people in the Sword Hunting Pavilion, what was the chief of the inner gate, the closed disciples of the elder group, and the old guys and heads of the elder group, but he chose himself without choosing them?

"However, with my strength, I'm afraid I'm far from being their opponent!"

"On this point, Shaoxia doesn't need to worry about it, because we have already negotiated with them, if it is a competition, there must be rules, if they use those things, we must also use the same things, otherwise it will be extremely unfair to us!"

"So did they agree?

"They agreed very happily, saying that as long as we can learn how to wear those things on our own, we will be able to use their things to fight them! ”

After this conversation with Ning Zhengyuan, Xuan Fei finally figured out the truth of the mission, it turned out that he was just here to clean up the mess for them, if the other party really has the strength to fight with the peak of Xuanzhao, and he can't use their equipment, then there will be only a dead end.

He decided to look at things before the competition, and once he knew about them, he would naturally be able to find a way to deal with them.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Second Prince has this set of equipment in his hands? If so, please let me study it first, otherwise it will be too late to get familiar with it when I get to the ring." ”

"Well, there is such a set, I got it at the beginning of their challenge, but then those guards didn't use this thing, and after losing the competition, the weirdos in the Outlands didn't want to go back, so they stayed in my hands. I originally planned to hand over the huge division to study anti-manufacturing after those weirdos left, but now that Shaoxia is here, it will come in handy, so please ask Shaoxia to use it!"

As he spoke, Ning Zhengyuan took out a set of shiny silver-white equipment from his space bag, including helmets, armor and leg guards.
