Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 190 Palace Banquet
Shen Binglin stepped into the Qingzhu Sword Courtyard and looked at the messy withered yellow bamboo leaves in front of him, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
The last time I came to Qingzhu Sword Academy, how many years ago?
He can't remember things or people.
Chang'an, sometimes it is really a beast that eats people and does not spit out bones, and time is always swallowed by him inadvertently.
Walking through the green bamboo forest and coming to the sword training ground, there was a chaotic scene, with rubble and rubble everywhere, and there were still remnants of sword qi on the ground.
In the small bamboo forest in the backyard, mountains of dead bamboos fell to the ground, Wei Shichun and his son had already left, leaving only a young man kneeling on the ground, and in front of him, there was a white-haired old man lying quietly, he seemed to walk very peacefully.
Shen Binglin came to Su Yongqiu and bowed repeatedly.
"I couldn't come to see the last one before I was alive, and Dean Su went all the way. Shen Binglin stared at Su Yongqiu's body, and his tone was heavy.
I don't know how long it has passed, Shen Binglin took a step forward and came to the young man who couldn't kneel for a long time. There were two more footprints beside him, obviously someone had already come before, and Shen Binglin didn't intend to persuade him to get up, and silently handed over a hand.
"Pass on the king's hand. Shen Binglin said in a deep voice.
The young man didn't seem to hear Mo Zhifeng's voice, didn't look up, and didn't speak.
"Xu Changfeng, quickly take over. Shen Binglin urged.
But the young man's figure still didn't move, which made her a little annoyed. Even if Xu Changfeng is only a child under twenty, he can't do the courtesy. Now ignoring the prince's edict is considered a crime, if you refuse to accept this edict, its fate is not as simple as going to prison.
"Is it Li Shi who let Uncle Su die?" In the silence, the young man suddenly whispered.
Shen Binglin seemed to be startled, and shouted suddenly, "Stop!"
"If this is not the case, why are you here now? And the edict in your hand, as long as it is a death warrant, Uncle Su will not die today! And he, Wei Shichun, even if he is sentenced to a crime, what can he do? People cannot be resurrected after death, everything is just a false futility. The young man said every word, and what he said made Shen Binglin very uncomfortable.
"For the sake of the seniors of the Sword Academy, I kindly warn you. Shen Binglin seemed to ignore Xu Changfeng's words, "If you want to live in Chang'an, there are some words, even if they are rotten in your stomach, you must not say them." β
"Why!" the young man raised his head, revealing a delicate countenance with a look of determination on his face.
Shen Binglin stared at him and said coldly, "Because this is Chang'an, Chang'an, naturally has its rules." β
Shen Binglin said, put his hand lightly beside the young man, and turned to leave.
"Chang'an, there is no need for such rules. β
He had just walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a rebellious voice behind him, and his complexion suddenly changed.
If these words penetrated into the ears of the prince, don't say that it was just Xu Changfeng, and the entire Qingzhu Sword Courtyard would have to sit together. He shook
Shaking his head, "It's just a child, naΓ―ve." β
This Chang'an has never been a world that cultivators can dominate.
Shen Binglin left, the young man gently wiped the dried tears from the corners of his eyes, and his hands trembled as he opened the prince's edict beside him.
On the first line of the oracle, it was written with eye-catching pen and ink, Su Yongqiu, the former president of the Qingzhu Sword Academy, a scene!
......
"I respectfully ask Your Highness the Messenger to take a bath and change your clothes. In the silent deep palace, the delicate voice of the maid suddenly came from outside the door.
Crunch.
The door was pushed open, and the two maids, with their clothes in their hands, walked over to the sitting Spirit Emissary.
"What? Offered to ask me to bathe and change my clothes today, is this going to let me out?" The Spirit Messenger turned his head and looked at the two of them with a flat face.
From the moment she entered the palace, she was under house arrest in this desolate courtyard. Whether it's eating or sleeping, even going to the toilet, someone has to follow you, which is simply being guarded as a prisoner.
"Tonight, the prince is going to have a banquet in Xingqing Palace, His Royal Highness the Envoy, as well as the top ten cultivators on the Xuandao List, Your Highness the Envoy, you will have great blessings!" a maid said enviously.
Being able to see the prince with his own eyes and not to mention it, and to be able to eat with those talented women at the Star Club, this is an opportunity that no amount of money can buy. Just a few days in prison is too cost-effective.
"Tonight?" the Spirit Emissary muttered in a low voice, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
At the time, a long guard of honor was set up in front of the gate of Xingqing Palace, and after Li Nie, the most noble man in the dynasty, entered the palace, some officials of the court and China slowly entered.
Tonight's palace banquet, in addition to the banquet of the envoys of the Spirit Clan, as well as the top ten cultivators of the Xuandao List, there are also many ministers of the court and the central government who have also obtained qualifications. For them, it may be an honor, or perhaps, it is a temptation.
The prince's palace banquet is not finished after eating and drinking.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who have died in palace banquets. In the court, many people also compared this palace banquet to a guillotine banquet.
"Miss Zhan. As soon as Zhan Liuli stepped into the palace gate, she heard someone whispering to her.
Zhan Liuli turned his head to look, only to see a young man standing in front of the garden on the side, looking at the dress on his body, even if he had never seen this face, he should know that this person was a prince in the dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, is there something wrong?" Zhan Liuli wore a white veil, giving people a hazy feeling under the night, even so, it was still difficult to hide the beautiful and moving face under the veil.
Since Zhao Ruxue disappeared from the rivers and lakes, Zhan Liuli is recognized by the dynasty as the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, and this name is not just for fun.
"Miss Zhan, there is still some time before the palace banquet begins, are you interested in accompanying you to the garden?" asked the second prince with a smile.
With his handsome face, he can be called a girl killer
γ Countless palace maids are counting on being taken by the second prince, so that they can get rich overnight and soar. It's a pity that this will always be just a blue sky and a pipe dream.
"Liuli's status is humble, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince to forgive his sins. Zhan Liuli respectfully said.
"Humble status?" the second prince's tone changed slightly, "You are the personal disciple of the sect master of the Canglan Sword Sect, this humble word seems to be a little inappropriate, right?"
"The name of the rivers and lakes, how can it be involved in the etiquette of the palace? His Royal Highness the prince is a king, Liuli is just a people's girl, and she is fortunate to have the emperor's order to come to this palace banquet, how dare she do something out of the ordinary?" Zhan Liuli shook his head and said.
"Zhan Liuli, you know, I really like you. The second prince said, walking quickly towards Zhan Liuli, "Don't you think about it?"
His Royal Highness the Second Prince laughed. Zhan Liuli's tone was gentle, "With the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, he should be matched with the world's top woman to show his royal spirit, and Liuli's identity is not worthy of His Royal Highness." What's more, Liuli is dedicated to cultivation, and he doesn't want to ask about Hongchen, so he also asks His Royal Highness Haihan. β
"Single-minded cultivation, what did Xu Changfeng say back then?" the second prince asked in a low voice.
"Liuli has long forgotten everything about what happened back then, and I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince said?" Zhan Liuli raised his head and stared at him with some straight eyes.
At the beginning of Youchu, the lights of Xingqing Palace were brilliant, and the whole Chang'an City was estimated to be not as glorious as here.
"The prince has arrived!"
As the eunuch shouted, the civil and military ministers in the hall stood up one after another to greet this big man in the dynasty who covered the sky with one hand.
Li Nie was sitting in the hall, and on his left and right sides, one was the civil and military officials, and the other was the top ten cultivators on the Xuandao list, and they were ranked according to the meaning of their ranks.
The position where Xu Changfeng sat was ranked sixth, but the first table and chair was vacant.
This made everyone a little curious, who was not present in this vacant position, and even dared not accept the prince's hand.
At this moment, Xu Changfeng's face was a little ugly, he didn't want to come to this palace banquet, but he couldn't do it, under the repeated persuasion of Long Yuxin and Song Jiaoxi, he just had to come hard.
"Everyone!" Li Nie was sitting on the high platform, staring at the envoys of the Spirit Clan on the side, as well as the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, "Today is the day of my imperial envoy, I shouldn't have said anything else, but there are some things in the family that need to be solved one by one." β
Li Nie's voice fell, and outside the Xingqing Palace, a white-robed young man was pressed by the imperial guards and walked in, the young man's hair was very messy, and he looked like a beggar who couldn't get on the stage.
"This ...... Isn't this His Royal Highness the Great Prince?"
"What did His Royal Highness the Great Prince do to be escorted to the court like this by Jinyiwei. β
"Li Chen, are you guilty?" Li Nie stared at Li Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted solemnly.
Li Chen...... Guilty ......"
This person Xu Changfeng has seen it, and the people who are included in the Xuandao List of cultivators have also seen it
Pass. He is the beggar Su idiot at the Starry Society. It turned out that he was the eldest prince, and in order to be able to secretly participate in the Star Club, he did not hesitate to turn into a beggar.
"You were originally the prince of my dynasty, but in order to participate in the Star Meeting, you held your breath and turned into a beggar, which damaged the image of the court. If you drag it down, it will weigh fifty boards!"
It turned out that the vacated position was not reserved for others, but for the eldest prince.
"Li Nie humiliated the eldest prince, not to show these ministers, but to the spirit envoy beside him. Xu Changfeng thought to himself, "This palace banquet may not end so happily." β
Xu Changfeng thought to himself, and subconsciously looked at the Spirit Clan envoy who was sitting still beside Li Nie.
Today's Spirit envoys did not wear Spirit clothes, but wore clothes that the dynasty wore for guests. Although the visitor is a guest and should follow the customs, it is not someone else, but a messenger.
When it is represented, it is the respect of a country.
Now Li Nie has made the envoy of the Spirit Clan lose his dignity at the palace banquet, just like letting the Spirit Clan lose his dignity in front of the Shengshi Dynasty.
