115. Banquet
Due to the large number of guests, the location of the wedding banquet was set in the martial arts arena. Today, the vast square that used to hold thousands of people has been filled with seats.
The front row was the main seat, and there were originally only two seats, which were sat opposite to the guests by a pair of newcomers, but because of the sudden appearance of a distinguished guest, Tang Ling specially asked Mo Lengyan to set up an additional seat, and this seat did not prepare more delicacies, but was full of all kinds of good wines, among them, many of which were royal drinks for the court.
In addition to these three main seats, Mo Lengyan and Yin Bingxin, who were in charge of the preparation of this wedding banquet, sat on one side; the first row opposite the main seat also had only three seats, and the guests sitting were the God Emperor, the Demon Venerable, and the crown prince Li Heng; the number of seats in the back row was seven, which were sat by Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, Qin Wuxi, Duan Huanshan, and Li Changhe, the three Blood Sea Elders; As for the attendants who came with them, they sat at the outermost round table.
The wedding of the King of Wind and Cloud has been invited to congratulate the number of 200 guests, plus the accompanying attendants, there are more than 1,000 people. At this moment, the auspicious time is approaching, most of the guests have already taken their seats, and Tang Ling, as the protagonist of today, stands in front of his place, and raises a glass to the guests present with a smile.
Yang Guozhong and An Lushan sat next to each other, because of the fact that the seat was earlier, he could also see Tang Ling's appearance clearly, and said involuntarily: "Is that the Fengyun King who helped His Majesty Taizong win the country back then?" It looks like there are a lot of differences from what I imagined. ”
"I don't know what the King of Wind and Cloud looks like in the prime minister's heart?" An Lushan asked jokingly. At this time, the meal had not yet been served, and he held a glass of weak wine in his hand, and did not drink it, but just looked at the thin figure in front of him fixedly.
"Since he has the ability to help Taizong win the country, then the Fengyun King must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he won't be so thin, right?" Yang Guozhong's face was smug and he said.
Li Heng, who was sitting in front of Yang Guozhong, had already spoken: "Prime Minister, your words are very disrespectful to the King of Fengyun, don't say it again!"
The crown prince personally spoke to stop him, Yang Guozhong's face suddenly froze, and he was about to speak again, when God Emperor Yuanyue, who was sitting next to Li Heng's seat, had already opened his mouth and scolded in a low voice: "Although the name of the Fengyun King has only been circulated in the mortal world for a hundred years, his supernatural status is beyond the imagination of a mere mortal like yours, why should you casually speculate about his appearance?"
Yang Guozhong, as the prime minister of a dynasty and the cousin of Yang Yuhuan, the favorite concubine of Xuanzong, won the favor of Li Longji, and can already be called one person under ten thousand people. Now that he saw that "someone" whose identity was still doubtful, he suddenly became sarcastic, how could this prime minister of the current dynasty endure it? Just as he was about to ask his origin sharply, the Demon Venerable Wu Ce on the other side had already spoken: "Mere mortal, if you talk more nonsense, be careful that the deity will trouble you after today!"
Yang Guozhong didn't recognize the identities of the God Emperor and the Demon Venerable, and when he saw that these two guys of unknown origin could actually sit in front of him with the prince, he was already unhappy in his heart, and was reprimanded by him one after another, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, and he no longer cared about the situation at the moment, and asked: "You are so bold, you dare to intimidate the officials of the imperial court?"
Seeing Yang Guozhong like this, the corners of An Lushan's mouth, who was sitting on the side, rose slightly, and he silently spit out two words in his heart: "mediocre." ”
In terms of seniority, he can sit with the crown prince Li Heng, and his status can not be compared with that of a mere Yang Guozhong? Earlier, there was news that today's grand ceremony was not only a mortal person, although An Lushan also did not recognize Yuanyue and Wuce, but he also saw that they came from an extraordinary background, plus the two "mortals" in a row, it showed that they were not ordinary people in the world, Yang Guozhong not only failed to guess the general origin of the other party, but directly clashed with him, which can indeed be called a suicide road.
After all, ordinary mediocre people can't do such stupid things.
The Demon Venerable didn't take Yang Guozhong's question in his eyes, snorted coldly, and ignored it.
After being in a high position for a long time, when has Yang Guozhong been so disregarded? Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Li Heng had already spoken: "Prime Minister, stop in moderation, don't lose the face of the imperial court!"
Li Heng's words already contained a bit of majesty, Yang Guozhong snorted coldly, and did not say anything more.
An Lushan and Duan Huanshan saw this scene in their eyes, but they just looked at each other, and they already understood what each other meant: it seems that there is no harmony between the prince and the prime minister.
Qin Wuxi also noticed this scene and sighed helplessly.
According to the contradiction between these big figures, the guests present have entered and taken their seats one after another, and even Li Changhe and others have returned to this martial arts arena from outside the palace. After most of the guests were seated, Tang Ling also raised his glass to all the guests and said loudly: "Today's wedding is a big wedding, thank you for coming to the banquet." ”
When the guests saw Tang Ling speak, they all stood up and saluted back. Although this Fengyun King spoke politely, but his status was in front of him, who would dare to make a mistake casually? But to their surprise, those guests of the four clans of gods, demons, fairies and demons looked even more respectful than them, and many people saw this scene, and they couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts: Could it be that the prestige of the Fengyun King is not only far and wide in the world, but also thunderous among other races?
How much of this century-old legend has not yet been revealed?
Although everyone was puzzled in their hearts, in such a scene, it was not easy to ask casually, and they still put on a respectful appearance. On the contrary, the only one present who dared not to sell Tang Ling's face was probably the only strong man who came in with him, at this time he had already written down the cloak on his body, revealing a figure that was many times more burly than Tang Ling, and the beard on his face almost completely covered the resolute face, a pair of tiger eyes squinted at Tang Ling who was standing beside him, and muttered with a little resentment: "How many years have passed, and you stinky boy have actually learned to be polite to others?" ”
Tang Ling ignored the strong man's resentment, and continued to the guests: "There should be many guests present who have met with Zaixia, but there are also many who have never met with Zaixia, so I would like to introduce myself: My surname is Tang, the single word Ling, appreciated by Emperor Taizong, and was canonized as the King of Fengyun, I hope you will take care of it in the future." ”
The guests returned the salute again, and the strong man sat down on his seat, and continued to whisper the words of the great scenery: "Take care of the fart! ”
"Dead fat man," Tang Ling smiled and looked at the strong man, "nagging again, believe it or not, I slapped you back into your spiritual position?"
"Yo he, when will I be afraid of other people's threats?"
The strong man was unyielding, and responded to Tang Ling's smiling threat with grace.
"The auspicious time has come!"
Mo Lengyan had been standing beside Yin Bingxin, and when he saw that Tang Ling and the strong man were about to start an endless bickering, he hurriedly shouted loudly. First, in order to remind them that today is a day of great joy, it is not appropriate to quarrel like this; second, the two sides of this quarrel are noble, and they are not easy to directly persuade them, so they have to remind them from the side; as for the end, it is indeed time to invite another protagonist today.
