Volume 2: Yuan Zhu Moves in the Eight Directions of the Present World Chapter 143: Can You Drink a Cup?
The team members did not retreat, but were full of excitement and roared to meet them.
It's just that they didn't fight brutally, but in groups of three, they formed a zigzag battle formation and surrounded a koala.
Two people attacked, one covered, and the three cooperated with each other seamlessly, obviously rehearsed in advance.
In this way, although these team members are slightly inferior in cultivation, with their numbers and cooperation with each other, they have already leveled the gap in strength with this koala.
For a while, the battle was fierce, the wind was howling, the roar was raging, the swords and swords were shadowing, and groups of people were fighting with koalas everywhere.
Guo Xu glanced at it and lacked interest, how is this hunting different from children's games?
These so-called geniuses are heroes who can succeed in front of these specially captured demon beasts, if they are put in the 100,000 mountains, they will be guaranteed to be in different places one by one, and there will be no bones left to be eaten by those fierce beasts.
Not only Guo Xu is like this, but also the people of the Oriental family, especially Dongfang Ruyu and Dongfang Falcon, the disdain at the corner of their mouths is the most obvious.
Li Yuanji seemed to feel that the atmosphere of the scene was a little strange, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the silk and bamboo suddenly sounded, and a burst of festive and beautiful music sounded.
From the side door behind the ceremonial platform, a group of maids dressed in green palace clothes came out, and these maids worked in pairs, each holding a jade plate in their hands.
There are all kinds of spirit fruits placed in a jade plate, these spirit fruits are in different forms, colorful, fragrant, very attractive.
In another jade plate were placed jade pots and jade cups, and the amber spirit wine had not yet arrived, and wisps of sweet and quiet wine fragrance had already filled the entire ceremonial table.
This is the century-old Bingluo Huangting Spirit Wine treasured by the royal family, which is the most sweet and fragrant, and the Tang Emperor is reluctant to drink a drop on weekdays, but at this time he takes it out to entertain guests.
These palace maids had just stepped back, and with the sound of music, a stream of dancing girls with gorgeous faces and graceful bodies came out from behind the ceremony.
These dancing girls are wearing long skirts of various colors of light gauze, the long skirts are translucent, and the lotus steps are in style, and their beautiful figures are looming.
As soon as they walked out, they gave a salute to the people present, and immediately danced to the music in the center of the platform.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the sleeves waved, revealing half of the smooth jade-like lotus root, and when the body swinged, a white abdomen was exposed.
The waist twists, like the wind swinging lotus leaves, and the skirt flutters, which is even more outstanding.
"Come on, come on, ladies and gentlemen, today's hunting in Nanshan is a grand event for my Tang Kingdom to select talents, how can there be no silk and bamboo, no wine, and no beauties to help the fun. ”
"Li Yuanji, on behalf of my Li family, on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in the Tang Kingdom, respects Dongfang Gongzi and a line. ”
Li Yuanji finished speaking, stood up, raised a toast, and when he got up, the other royal nobles did not dare to sit down, and they all got up to pay respect.
Guo Xu saw that the Dongfang family and his party got up to salute back, and it was not good to sit down, so he also got up to salute.
This Li Yuanji's words are very good, he came in the carriage of Dongfang Rulong today, is it not a line?
Li Yuanji is worthy of being born in the royal family, and this kind of entertainment has long been sophisticated and skillful, and it will not be abrupt or make people feel cold.
After this toast, Li Yuanji brought these royal relatives and nobles to toast in turn, and for a while, the wine was hot.
The scene suddenly became much warmer, and even Dongfang Ruyu, who had an arrogant and cold face, had a little smile on her face.
The scene was noisy and noisy, but it suddenly made Guo Xu feel bored, sitting there only felt lonely, and a feeling of loneliness swelled up in his body unconsciously.
This feeling suddenly made him feel like a dead end, as if there was no one in this world who could drink with him.
"Guo Daoyou, like a dragon, I salute you. But it was Dongfang Rulong who stood up and toasted.
His warm smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, but this warm smile seems to be about to reject people thousands of miles away, and he stands with Bai Izumo and the others, but it seems to be more lonely than being alone.
This is a strange artistic conception that is similar to Guo Xu at the moment, I don't know if I am in the red dust, or the red dust surrounds me!
Dongfang Rulong's voice is extremely sincere, at this moment, only Guo Xu can drink with him!
"Rulong Daoyou, Guo Xu respects you with a cup!" Guo Xu stood up, raised the jade cup, bowed solemnly, and saluted each other from afar.
There was an inexplicable joy in his heart, there was finally someone in this world who drank with him, and I am not alone!
One cup down, another cup, Guo Xu and Dongfang Rulong didn't speak, they toasted each other from afar, everything was silent!
"Woo woo woo!" the sad and majestic trumpet sounded again, and the first hunt had come to an end.
There is no suspense, all the koalas in this one were killed, but the scores of each team were different, and the ranking score obviously depends on this capture.
Li Yuanji and the royal relatives and nobles suddenly became nervous, and even Dongfang Ruyu and the others also looked serious.
Which team wins becomes important to them for no other reason, and it is in their vital interest that the outcome is at stake.
This Nanshan hunt is called talent selection, but it is actually a contest of strength between the royal family and the major families and wealthy royal families, and a game hidden in the shadows.
This win or loss is not only about face, but also about a lot of power transactions and interest exchanges hidden behind the scenes, which is a big gamble and a war without gunpowder.
In this war, no one wants to lose, and no one can afford to lose.
But all this has nothing to do with Guo Xu, and it has nothing to do with Dongfang Rulong, and the two still toast each other from time to time.
"Hahaha! Everyone accepted and conceded, but this time it was Yuanji's Flying Dragons team who took the lead and temporarily took the lead. Li Yuanji smiled on his face.
"Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory, my emperor is mighty! Your Highness is mighty!
"Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory in the first battle, and raise the prestige of my Tang Army!"
For a while, everyone praised each other, but it was only from the stiff smiles of some people that they could see that their words were insincere.
Dongfang Ruyu and Dongfang Falcon and others were even more gloomy, Li Yuanfeng, whom they supported, was killed by Guo Xu, which can be described as the biggest upset, without this Li Yuanfeng, their income will inevitably shrink significantly.
Originally, they asked Li Yuanfeng to personally go out to send a post, but in fact, they wanted to try to arrange Guo Xu to participate in this competition, so that they could take the opportunity to humiliate Guo Xu, and they could use Guo Xu's combat power to win benefits for them, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
It's just that they didn't expect that Li Yuanfeng's temper was really irritable, and he didn't act according to the plan, and kicked Qiu Yue away with one kick.
even ignored their advice, Li Yuanfeng's untimely death this time can be described as self-inflicted humiliation, and they have no intention of coming out.
And Guo Xu, who was drinking with Dongfang Rulong at the moment, didn't know their dark thoughts.
"Woo woo woo woo
The demon beast that was pushed out of the prison cart from the north gate this time was the Golden Saber-toothed Tiger, which was already a first-order high-level demon beast.
This golden saber-toothed tiger is not as gentle and timid as a koala bear, but extremely tyrannical and fierce, with extremely strong attack power.
"Roar, roar, roar!" A deafening tiger roar sounded in the school field, and as soon as the iron cage was opened, the golden saber-toothed tiger was already roaring, and rushed towards those team members with a gust of wind.
Their eyes were red and tyrannical, and they wanted to tear apart everything they saw in their captivity.
"Kill, kill, kill!" These team members have experienced the previous battle with koalas, and they have some murderous aura in their bodies, and their fighting spirit is even higher.
At this moment, when he saw the demon tiger pounced, not only did he not dodge, but took the initiative to meet it.
Guo Xu glanced at it, and ignored it, people always have to go through some blood lessons to grow.
At this time, these demon tigers were the most arrogant, and it was not the best strategy to fight with them, but these young handsome people rushed forward desperately as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
However, if you file a file, you can see which are heroes and which are bears.
As soon as he thought of this, Guo Xu stopped paying attention to it, and simply leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Sure enough, as Guo Xu expected, these young handsome people suffered a big loss under their carelessness, and the flesh and blood flew on the school field, the ghosts cried wolves, and the clouds were gloomy.
The faces of everyone present suddenly became gloomy, especially Li Yuanji's face was the most ugly, and his Flying Dragon Team took the lead, and this time he was even more earnest, rushing to the front, and the result was the most heavi.
Before they formed a formation to meet the enemy, a deafening tiger roar had already sounded in their ears, and their minds were suddenly shocked, and the formation was instantly disrupted.
For a while, in the face of the saber-toothed tiger's attack, he was at a loss and suffered heavy casualties.
"Hahaha! hahaha!" Someone on the stage laughed proudly, obviously he had the upper hand in this game.
"Wen Wuhou, it's really hidden, in such a dangerous situation, the team members can still be calm, not arrogant or impatient, You admire. ”
For a while, everyone waited again, but Li Yuanji's face was gloomy, and he sat there without saying a word.
Most of the day's time passed in a blink of an eye in this competition, and in a short time, it was already dark, and the hunt was temporarily over.
"Come on, come on, come and taste the taste of this yellow braised bear paw, which is made of the koala killed today, and it is the most tender. Li Yuanji shouted and beckoned everyone to enjoy.
At this time, on the table in front of everyone, the maids had already changed the dishes and chopsticks, a plate of strong incense, and the steaming bear paws had been placed on the table.
"Hmm! Hmm! This taste is really wonderful, sweet and fat but not greasy, soft but not erosive, really high-quality!"
"Yes, what King Yan said is very much, what is even more rare about this bear's paw is that it is soft and tender with a silky elasticity, which is really commendable. ”
"Well, it's really wonderful, this bite of the stomach, the whole body is warm and coaxing, and the strength of the whole body has increased a lot, I am afraid that it has reached the top of the grade spiritual food, and only the imperial chef in the palace has such skills in the entire Tang Dynasty. ”
Everyone praised this time, Li Yuanji's face was a lot soothed, and his face was faintly colorful.
