Chapter 671: Triumphant Feast
......
On the second day, as soon as the sun showed its head, the Feiyun Emperor Capital was boiling.
After a year of war, the two countries finally made a temporary truce because of the great victory at the border pass and the exhaustion of the troops. The ordinary people who were worried about the war between the two countries day and night also breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is a good day, the border heroes of the empire for hundreds of years in the minds of the people have returned triumphantly yesterday, in order to commend the general Lian Ao and his son Lianzhou, the new small lord not only set up a banquet in the imperial palace, but also declared today as the triumphant day of the whole country.
In order to reflect the generosity of the new lord and his care for the people, but also to celebrate this important day, the new small lord specially ordered people to hold a celebration banquet in the imperial capital square.
In four directions, there are banquets set up for three miles on the main road in each direction, so that the people can enjoy this food that does not cost money, so that the history of the Feiyun Empire from the beginning of its establishment to the present is hundreds of years, and it is the only time that this has opened up a precedent.
You know, so many delicacies and delicacies need a huge number to be able to do.
Feeling the generosity of the new lord, those who were not even more displeased with the fall of the country before also left that unpleasant past behind. In the center of the square, the bright battle flag flutters in the wind, telling the atmosphere of this festival, and on the mile-long street, a hundred flowers are embellished and firecrackers are ringing in unison, just like a festive scene.
Throughout the day, from early morning to evening, everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the festival, no matter how crazy they played and how full they ate, no one felt tired, and everyone waited for the night to fall in high spirits. They know that the busiest time of this triumphal day is not daytime, and after nightfall, there will be a scene of fireworks spraying that has not been seen for several years. That's the tens of thousands of salutes that the empire has collected at great expense. There are so many salutes, just firing them for half a day. Therefore, everyone is waiting for that dazzling moment in this festive atmosphere.
The setting sun was slanting, dyeing the sky as red as blood, and it seemed that there were less than two hours before the nightfall, and the reception banquet in the imperial palace had already begun.
The sound of bells and drums, and the sound of Taoism, slowly came out from the deep imperial palace, full of cheerful and festive flavor.
Huayang Palace, the plaque that is several meters long has already been taken down, the new small lord in order to reflect his attention to the father and son, this hall will be renamed Triumph Palace from now on, specially to welcome the two and set up a hundred official banquets.
In front of the gate of the Triumph Palace, countless court officials poured in from all directions, and it took a full hour to fill the entire Triumph Palace.
As today's protagonists, General Lian Ao's father and son came to the Triumph Palace early. Today's Lian Ao took off his armor and put on a purple and red robe, although he did not have the dazzling golden light, but his skills still made this general who had been fighting for many years not angry and domineering.
As for Lianzhou, at this time, there is no young general demeanor, wrapped in a red wedding dress, his slender figure is reflected very handsome, and the serious and dignified Lianzhou is constantly talking with the court officials, but also looking at the beauties around him from time to time, every time he looks at it, the extremely handsome face is full of happy smiles.
For Lianzhou, today is an extremely important day, on the one hand, he will accept the title of lord of the empire, and the most important thing is that today, he can finally turn the beautiful woman who everyone in the empire admires and admires into his wife.
For a man, a bumper harvest in career and family is really the greatest joy in life. Lianzhou has only been more than 20 years old to have this achievement, and it is inevitable that he will become complacent.
His eyes kept wandering around the beautiful woman beside him, and Lianzhou swallowed his saliva uncontrollably. Even if he wanted to show the demeanor of a gentleman, he couldn't calm himself down. The reason is that Xu Yue beside him is too moving today, with bright autumn eyes, light clothes, and a delicate pink face under the thin pink face. The slender jade fingers were covered by the wide sleeves of the robe, and sometimes hooked out, and the brilliance on the fingertips deeply stimulated Lianzhou's eyes. In Lianzhou's mind, Xu Yue has always been the most beautiful.
The spring heart was rippling, Lianzhou's heart suddenly fell, and the figure of another woman suddenly flashed in his mind, although the white dress was not embellished at all, but in Lianzhou's eyes, it was so white and flawless. Lianzhou didn't know why he always thought of this woman, and it seemed that with the appearance of this woman, he overturned the definition of Xu Yue's "most beautiful" in his heart.
Thinking wildly, a low cheer sounded in his ears, interrupting his thoughts. When he woke up, Lianzhou looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw his father waving to him.
After greeting the people around him, and then approaching the quiet Xu Yue and whispering a few words in his ear, Lianzhou got up and walked over.
When he arrived at Lian Ao's side, the former motioned for him to sit down, and at the same time asked in a low voice, "How is the arrangement?"
Hearing this, Lianzhou looked around vaguely and found that no one was approaching, and replied in a voice that only two people could hear: "Don't worry, father, everything has been arranged, the four city gates have been heavily guarded, and even a fly can't fly out." ”
Lian Ao frowned, and said coldly: "Don't take it lightly, the people of Dantang and Marlin Chamber of Commerce have been very abnormal recently, and my father has already analyzed it with the national teacher, I am afraid that because of Ou Chuyang's appearance, they smelled something and planned to take the opportunity to escape, you have to cheer up, you can't let them get their wish." ”
When Lianzhou heard this, he was also stunned, and then said solemnly: "Yes." Father, rest assured, I have invited General Bai out according to your wishes, and now he is patrolling the sky above the imperial capital, and we will know as soon as there is any trouble. ”
"Yes. Hearing this, Lian Ao nodded with satisfaction.
Turning his gaze to the main hall, Lian Ao glanced around, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and asked without looking back: "Has the invitation of the lord of the country been sent to Ou Chuyang? Why haven't you seen him appear yet?"
When Lian Zhou heard this, he was also surprised, slowly stood up, glanced at it, just as his father Lian Ao said, he really didn't find Ou Chuyang's shadow, and muttered in a low voice: "It's sent, and Ou Chuyang immediately promised to come to the banquet." ”
Lian Ao's face showed displeasure, and he glared at Lian Zhou and said: "You will believe what he said, don't forget what the national teacher told you, Ou Chuyang is very cunning and not so easy to deal with, since he dares to return to the imperial capital, he will definitely rely on it." My father has already received the news, and in the past two days since he came back, Ou Chu ** didn't stay in Dantang, I don't know where he went, and do you remember, someone sneaked into the holy land last night, and he also made a move with General Bai, and the two had a draw. ”
Lianzhou was shocked when he heard this, and said incredulously: "No." How old is he, although I have met him in the town before, but at most he is only a peak martial arts powerhouse. Is it possible to be any higher?"
Lian Zhou's rhetorical question also confused Lian Aowen, he didn't suspect that Ou Chuyang was the strong man who sneaked into the holy land, but what Lian Zhou said was true, how could a young man in his early twenties have the strength to fight with General Bai, and General Bai is a strong man who has stepped into the realm of martial saints.
Thinking back to when the national teacher introduced Ou Chuyang to himself, a few years ago he was still a hairy boy who didn't even have a martial arts realm, at this time someone told him that Ou Chuyang could match the white general of the martial saint realm, and even the general Lian Ao himself couldn't convince himself, no matter how high a person's talent was, it wouldn't be so fast.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lian Ao then gave up this unrealistic idea.
At this moment, suddenly a bell rang in the hall, and everyone hurriedly returned to their places and sat down, and the hall, which was enough to accommodate thousands of people, suddenly became silent.
When the main hall was really quiet, next to the supreme position of the main hall, a young man dressed as a eunuch walked out, cleared his throat and shouted in a long voice, "The lord of the country has arrived~." Although this voice was sharp, it was long, without any interruption, and it directly spread outside the main hall, lingering throughout the imperial palace and imperial city.
The next moment, a young man in an imperial robe walked out slowly, accompanied by an old man. And this person is the current Feiyun Country Lord. As for the old man beside him, it was none other than the national teacher of the Feiyun Empire that we mentioned in the previous chapter, Hei Fan.
As soon as the two appeared, thousands of pairs of eyes followed the two of them to the position that symbolized the supreme power of the Feiyun Empire.
Supported by the national teacher, the little lord sat majestically on the chair of the lord of the country made of pure gold, and at the same time, the national teacher Hei Fan also sat in the position of the first 10,000 people to admire him.
When the lord arrived, all the officials stood up from their positions, bowed to the side of the small lord at the same time, and said in unison: "See the lord of the country." ”
The "free courtesy" small country lord is not very old, but he is full of majesty, and between his gestures, he has the taste of the lord of a country.
Baiguan got up and sat down in his seat again. Xiao Guofang swept his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then nodded at a eunuch holding a scroll beside him.
The eunuch understood, bowed respectfully, and then took two steps forward, opened the scroll, and was about to read it.
At this moment, a hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the hall, which was clear and long, but it was more terrifying like thunder. With this laughter pouring in. A man in a green robe walked side by side with a woman of incredible beauty and unparalleled in the world.
"Haha~, I'm sorry, I'm late. ”
Hmm~ With the spread of this hearty laughter, countless pairs of eyes in the hall looked out of the hall gate at the same time.
Outside the gate, a young man wrapped in a green robe was slowly walking in with square steps, followed by a woman with a peerless appearance.
The young man and the woman are the belated Ou Chuyang and Mu Wanqing.
At this time, Ou Chuyang was still dressed in a green cloth robe, and in people's impressions, a few years ago, he was also dressed like this, as if he had never changed. A pair of sword eyebrows crossed the black eyes, faintly revealing a compelling heroic aura. Ou Chuyang belongs to the kind of ordinary people, except for the resolute face and slight elegance honed by the years, he does not have any unique temperament. However, it was this ordinary face that once gave people a great shock.
Talented.
An unbeatable genius.
Once in the eyes of the thousands of people in the imperial capital, the genius Dan Master who defeated the enemy with his own strength, and his eternal indifferent face, have long become an indelible mark in the minds of the people of this Feiyun Empire.
When he was a teenager, he became a fourth-level Dan master admired by everyone on the mainland, and this talent was really amazing. At the beginning, the young genius who showed his peerless appearance in the Imperial Capital Square was finally injured by the enemy, and everyone thought that the genius had fallen, but a few days ago, the news of Ou Chuyang's return suddenly came out of nowhere, and the entire imperial capital was suddenly sensationalized.
Ou Chuyang not only did not die, but lived well. At first, the vast majority of people didn't believe this rumor, after all, at that time, Ou Chuyang had several black needles in his body and fell to the ground, which was a fact in everyone's eyes. It's just that now Ou Chuyang is standing in their eyes alive, which makes them have to believe that Ou Chuyang is not dead.
Now that the genius has returned, it is hard for everyone to imagine whether the dazzling halo will continue to shine above his head, or whether he will be stripped of this crown.
There is always only one aura of genius, and when a person is praised as a genius by everyone, even if another person is successful, he cannot compare with the former.
Just like Lianzhou now, in this banquet, it should be him, the hero who saved the country, who attracted much attention, but this banquet has not yet started, but Ou Chuyang's arrival has stolen his limelight. Even~ By Ou Chuyang's side, there is another person he can't forget: Mu Wanqing.
Lian Zhou didn't know Mu Wanqing's name, although he wanted to know, but on this occasion, especially Xu Yue, who had sworn to catch up, couldn't show his heart for Mu Wanqing.
Jealousy and resentment surged into his heart for a while, this hateful genius who made himself plummet from a position of being high and admired by thousands of people has long become an obstacle to Lianzhou's fame, when has Lianzhou dreamed of trampling Ou Chuyang under his feet countless times, but when they met for the first time, they were deeply hit by the strength of the other party. Seeing Ou Chuyang, who was smiling lightly, enter the main hall, Lianzhou couldn't wait to rush up and hack him to death with a knife in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Sitting opposite Ou Chuyang, Lian Ao seemed extremely calm, after all, he was a man who had been trained in blood and fire for many years, even if he was the same as his son, he had an inevitable murderous intention towards Ou Chuyang, but he still didn't show it.
The atmosphere in the hall became depressed due to Ou Chuyang's arrival, and no one dared to speak, and they all seemed to have forgotten to speak. After the countless eyes shot at Ou Chuyang, they turned to the lord of a country who had the highest right to speak in this hall and the national teacher of the dynasty who was below one person and above ten thousand people.
The little country lord was stunned for a long time, and suddenly lost his mind, his eyes widened in shock, and he turned his head to look at the old national teacher Hei Fan with slightly narrowed eyes, and said in a low voice: "National teacher, this~"
Hearing this, the national teacher Hei Fan coughed heavily and asked loudly, "Is Viscount Ou in the palace?"
The national teacher's inquiry exploded in the hall like thunder, and as his mouth closed one by one, a wave of void energy fluctuations suddenly fanned towards Ou Chuyang and the others.
