Chapter 161: The Night Banquet of the Royal Court
Qingxuan City, the first city in the southwest of Tianxuan, the capital of the Qingxuan Dynasty.
The forces in the Qingxuan Dynasty are intricate, and there are three of the ten major sects that have set up contact points here on the surface. Among them, Tsing Yi Pavilion not only has a chamber of commerce here, but also has several spiritual veins and a division of dark iron ore. Tianxuan Sect monopolizes a three-grade spiritual vein, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect indirectly controls a sect, and secretly the ten major sects are all involved here. Because the Qingxuan Dynasty is rich in resources within the territory, everyone wants to make some profits here, which also makes the pace of Qingyi Pavilion stop at the border of the Qingxuan Dynasty. There are as many as six or seven famous sects within the scope of the Qingxuan Dynasty, but the most powerful sect in the Qingxuan Dynasty is not these sects, but the Qingxuan Royal Court. The Qingxuan Royal Court, with the Qingxuan royal family as the core, has a Yuan Infant Decoration Seat, so that the various clans in the dynasty can remain peaceful.
The rapidly flying Tsing Yi slowly reduced its speed, and the monks of the Burial Flower Battle Array attached to the Tsing Yi flew into the sky one after another. A flock of white cranes passed through the white clouds in the distance, and after a while, they had stopped more than ten zhang in front of the Tsing Yi.
On the first red-crowned white crane stood a young man in a green shirt and a long robe, and I saw the young man standing there bowing and saluting: "Song Qingyun was ordered by the king to come to greet the Tsing Yi Pavilion tour team, please forgive me for being late." Here, Qingyun meets the elders of Tsing Yi Pavilion and meets all Taoist friends. ”
Li Weichen nodded slightly and said loudly: "No courtesy, lead the way in front of the head!"
Song Qingyun bowed again, turned around and flew towards Qingxuan City.
In half an hour, he flew out of three hundred miles and flew into the majestic Qingxuan City. The Tsing Yi slowly stopped in the sky above the Wangting Square in the center of Qingxuan City, and then everyone fell from the sky and fell on the square.
At this moment, there is already an honor guard on the east side of the square has been waiting here, in front of the honor guard, a middle-aged man in a rolling dragon robe holding a beautiful woman wearing a phoenix crown standing there with a smile, behind him in court clothes There are as many as 100 people in the civil and military forces of the dynasty.
"Elder Li, don't come unharmed!"
When all the disciples of Tsing Yi Pavilion landed on the square, the middle-aged man in a rolling dragon robe greeted him with a hearty smile, and his expression obviously had intersected with Li Weichen before.
Li Weichen, who has always been more serious, also stepped forward with a hearty smile, and the two hugged each other and talked enthusiastically for a few words before parting.
Only then did the middle-aged man in the rolling dragon robe arch his hand to the surroundings and said loudly: "Welcome to the Qingxuan City tour team of Tsing Yi Pavilion, a grand night banquet has been prepared in the royal court to entertain you, and please enjoy the light and move to the royal court." Please!"
"Please!"
Afterwards, the disciples of Tsing Yi Pavilion and the guard of honor marched towards the royal court.
At this time, the lights are on, and the back garden of the royal court is even more pleasant under its reflection. On the lawn of the back garden, a piece of Qingyu case has already been placed, the most central twelve Qingyu cases are surrounded by a circle, hundreds of Qingyu cases are placed on both sides, and seats are placed behind each Qingyu case.
"Elder Li, please!" the middle-aged man in the rolling dragon robe stretched out his hand to signal.
"King Qingxuan, please!"
The two of them humbly took the lead in taking a seat. King Qingxuan sat after the Qingyu case where King Qingxuan was, and the beautiful woman sitting next to him must be Queen Qingxuan, and Liu Yi was holding Queen Qingxuan's arm at the moment and laughing affectionately, glancing at Lin Cheng from time to time.
At this moment, Lin Cheng also discovered the problem.
Of the twelve Qingyu cases, King Qingxuan occupies one of them. The remaining eleven are just right, and it is said that the eleven elders who came to Tsing Yi Pavilion are in the right position. But the problem lies with Xinyan, everyone knows that Xinyan's identity is special, and one of these eleven Qingyu cases is naturally Xinyan sitting, so there is one less. It is self-evident whose position this missing one is, and it is clear from Liu Yi's intimate gesture to Queen Qingxuan and the malicious gaze that floats from time to time.
Sure enough, although there were two seats behind each Qingyu case, the royal cultivators and important members of the Qingxuan Royal Court had already pulled acquaintances to sit down, and in a moment, the twelve Qingyu cases were already full of people. On both sides, more than a hundred Tsing Yi Pavilion disciples were also one-on-one, and everyone was accompanied, only Lin Cheng stood there alone.
The greetings gradually fell silent, and everyone looked at Lin Cheng who was standing there, and then looked at King Qingxuan who was sitting there with some doubts. Seeing Liu Yi's posture, the disciples of Tsing Yi Pavilion were thoughtful.
Most of the disciples of Tsing Yi Pavilion may not know the details, but they just know that there must be Liu Yi's secret evil here, and Er Liu Yi must have a lot to do with Queen Qingxuan. Lin Cheng was clear about this. Although the Qingxuan Dynasty is not even a peripheral force in the Tsing Yi Pavilion, after all, it is the closest to the Tsing Yi Pavilion, so the influence of the Tsing Yi Pavilion on the Qingxuan Dynasty is also the largest. There is an elder surnamed Liu in Tsing Yi Pavilion, who has a son and a daughter, and his daughter is married to Queen Qingxuan. It seems that Liu Yi is the granddaughter of the elder surnamed Liu, and this Queen Qingxuan is Liu Yi's aunt. With this relationship, coupled with the fact that he is not afraid of Lin Cheng, and the constant discord with Liu Yi, it is normal for the other party to embarrass him.
"Who is this little brother?"
King Qingxuan asked with a puzzled look on his face when he saw Lin Cheng standing there. The subtext is to tell the people of Tsing Yi Pavilion that he doesn't know Lin Cheng's identity, after all, the elders of Tsing Yi Pavilion are all in the Jindan period, and the cultivation of Lin Cheng's foundation building period is clear at a glance. Moreover, it has always been a practice for each team to have only ten elders accompanying each team during the Vortex tour. King Qingxuan's statement shows that the problem now is not that he is not well received, but that he does not know at all.
"Brother, come to my sister. Before Li Weichen could answer the introduction, Sister Fang, who was sitting there, had already stood up and beckoned.
Lin Cheng smiled faintly but did not go. Li Weichen's heart moved, but he didn't say anything. There is a mystery in Sister Fang's words.
The current situation is already clear in the eyes of these people, it must be that Liu Yi secretly made it bad as soon as she arrived, but no matter how bad she is, King Qingxuan will not snub the elders of Tsing Yi Pavilion, so she definitely did not explain Lin Cheng's identity. Second, it's hard to say anything about this kind of thing, because after all, it's an internal matter, and Liu Yi is a little girl's heart. But whether you do it intentionally or unintentionally, doing so has already neglected the elders of Tsing Yi Pavilion, this reason is to be talked about, and it is not good to say that everyone will break up. But although Lin Cheng had only just become an elder, he was already famous. Now Sister Fang didn't call Lin Cheng as she usually called, that is, she was going to give them a look and cure their problem of looking down on people.
The people present were not clear, so Liu Yi couldn't figure it out, and the other elders couldn't speak if they understood it. Chen Duo was embarrassed to see Lin Cheng at the moment, and he couldn't ask for it, and if he didn't add fire, it would be considered to give face to the Qingxuan Dynasty.
"Brother, brother is here. Liu Ming stood up with a smile and said, "Our brothers have to have a good drink." ”
"Come, come, come to my brother. ”
"Come to my sister. ”
At this time, King Qingxuan planted Lin Cheng's face, where would these old and mature elders of Tsing Yi Pavilion let go of such an opportunity to give him a face-raising approach, they all stood up and greeted, and several people were already impatient to come over to pull Lin Cheng over.
King Qingxuan turned his head to look at the queen, while Queen Qingxuan restrained her affectionate expression and looked at Liu Yi with some seriousness. At this moment, they still don't understand that although the person Liu Yi wants to rectify is only in the foundation building period, he is not easy to mess with.
Liu Yi didn't realize it at all, and glanced at Lin Cheng angrily, his eyes full of provocation. Seeing this, King Qingxuan and his wife looked at Lin Cheng thoughtfully.
At this moment, Lin Cheng smiled faintly, waved his hand to stop everyone from coming to pull, and said calmly and indifferently: "My identity is quite special, I am here to protect the beauty." ”
As he spoke, he walked to Xinyan's side, took out a seat and squeezed it directly into the middle of the two women.
Sitting side by side with Xin Yan is also a beautiful woman, and her cultivation has also reached the foundation building period, and judging by her costumes, she may be a princess of the Qingxuan Dynasty.
The woman was squeezed by Lin Cheng and had to move the chair outward, and Xinyan also wanted to move outward, but she didn't want Lin Cheng to grab the back of her chair and prevent her from moving outward, so it turned out that the two of them were sitting there almost side by side. Although Xinyan was still covered with a light veil, everyone could see that her white jade neck was already flushed.
"That's right!" Sister Fang stroked her palm and chuckled, and the rest of the Tsing Yi Pavilion elders were also smiling. Everyone knows the relationship between Lin Cheng and Xinyan, and it is natural to sit like this at this moment.
The extremely shrewd maid of the royal court next to her immediately added dishes, chopsticks, wine glasses, and poured them full of wine
"Haha, it turned out to be a flower messenger. Let's have a drink and welcome the arrival of the Tsing Yi Pavilion touring team. King Qingxuan smiled heartily and took the lead in raising his glass, and the others also raised their glasses, and the embarrassment just now seemed to be swept away.
It's just that this lively and enthusiastic atmosphere was shattered in a blink of an eye, everyone raised their wine glasses, but Lin Cheng didn't raise a glass, not only did he not raise a glass, but he reached out to stop Xinyan's wine glass. Then he took out two gourds as if no one was around, and stuffed one of them into Xin Yan's hand. The last two gourds touched, and Lin Cheng took a sip leisurely.
The ears that were as white and tender as jade were crimson at the moment, but he still lowered his head slightly and lifted the veil and took a sip gently. Although it was only a cherry mouth, a glance swept over Lin Cheng's heart, and there was still a trace of waves. Tianxuan's first beauty is the first beauty, just a quick sweep makes people's hearts pound.
The two of them sat here as if no one was around, and the other people with wine glasses were stunned with wine glasses in their hands.
King Qingxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, it seems that the wine I have here is not to Xiaoyou's taste." ”
Lin Cheng raised his head as if he had just realized it at this moment, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, you drink yours, you don't have to entertain me." As for Xinyan...... Hehe, naturally it is for the husband to sing with the wife. ”
Xinyan lowered his head and was extremely shy, and the rest of the people had different expressions.
Although Lin Cheng said with a smile, he was decisive and domineering. Didn't you King Qingxuan not entertain me, I don't need you to entertain, this is already very tough. And the domineering words made some Tsing Yi Pavilion female cultivators dazzled.
