Chapter 359: Black and White
The stars in the night sky sprinkled silver light towards the ground, Ye Wen chatted with Xiaoyue for a few words and then got into Xiahou Tianyi's carriage, the night was deep, and he looked out of the carriage along the road, the doors of the shops on both sides of the street that opened for business during the day were tightly closed, and after half an hour when the night became darker, the carriage finally entered the range not far from the destination Sijia Palace.
Sijiagong is a grand building standing in the center of Xicheng District, just opposite the city lord's mansion not far away, indicating a noble status that is infinitely close to the core of power. It has always been one of the venues for important banquets held by the four major families.
The carriage drove on the straight and spacious street, the closer to the Sijia Palace, the more obvious the grand occasion of the traffic, along the way from the laughter of the dignitaries and nobles, from the carriages with lanterns came leisurely, each carriage was in the direction of the Sijia Palace.
At this time, the night shrouded the earth, and the entire building called Sijiagong appeared in front of him, Sijiagong seemed to be a giant beast entrenched in the center of the Sicheng District under the night, so that the people who approached were suddenly born a little awe and excitement, and it was a supreme honor to be able to enter such an area.
Dazzling lights seeped out from the palace, and the firelight even penetrated the clouds in the sky, if you look at the sky, these lights seem to make the building wear a prosperous and lively gorgeous coat, and also make everyone in it consciously put on gorgeous clothes.
There is still a period of time before the start of the Yueyi Banquet, but within the Baizhang range outside the Sixiang Palace, the guards have become quite strict, even if they are the commander of Xiahou Tianyi, they have also been searched quite carefully, and Ye Wen, as an emerging military nobleman, will naturally not be an exception.
After going through more than a dozen checkpoints, their carriage finally came within the range of the Sijia Palace.
Through the window of the carriage, Ye Wen looked at the majestic hall not far away, and thought to himself that it was indeed worthy of being the property of the four major families second only to the City Lord's Mansion, even if the night was shrouded, it still could not hide the grandeur of the Four Family Palace complex.
The way of cultivation is the combination of the monk's own will and spirit, and the so-called spirit is an indescribable momentum that is enough to shock people's hearts, and Ye Wen is no stranger to the spirit of a powerful monk, such as the deputy commander who seems to be the god of war on the battlefield, such as the unfathomable Xiahou commander around him, but if the building has the spirit that can shake people's hearts, Ye Wen is the first time to see it.
Ye Wen was secretly shocked in his heart, and then realized that a mediocre dead thing was held in the hands of a monk who had cultivated strongly, and it would gradually turn into a spirit over the years, this is because the spiritual will of the monk has been infiltrated and tempered all year round, making mortal things become divine objects, and this kind of building has always been to entertain the superiors, and over time, it naturally absorbs the spiritual aura of the big people in it.
Just imagine, hundreds of big people who can stomp their feet can make the entire bustling city earthquake in and out for a long time, and over time, all kinds of huge breaths converge together, and finally let the four palaces be contaminated with the breath of the superior people, and transform in the direction of spiritual objects.
Thinking of this, Ye Wen suddenly felt that the feeling of the building complex being like a giant beast was not just a textual decoration.
Dozens of luxurious carriages stopped on the periphery of the square in front of the Four Elephant Palace, and on the square, hundreds of guards of the Four Families Palace were maintaining order, each holding the cold hilt of the sword, obviously infiltrating the power of the whole body early in the morning, so that the illusion of the weapon continued to appear, just like an entity, no matter what unexpected things happened, they could be put into battle at any time.
Just in front of the row of guards, a guard commander was waiting quietly, and when he saw the mental outlook of this person, the dignitaries and nobles in the carriage parked in the square immediately knew the identity and horror of the other party, and the breath of his body was as bright as a flame in the dark night, and most of the people present were people who had achieved cultivation, so they naturally did not fail to understand the meaning.
It can be seen that the four major families do attach great importance to the Moon Art Banquet.
"The banquet hasn't started yet, so it looks like we're early. ”
Xiahou Tianyi stepped out of the carriage and slowly looked around, facing Xiao Xiaofeng in the square, his expression was indifferent, he had a strong demeanor, and when he turned his head to look at Ye Wen, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "You are the first time to come in, what are your special feelings?"
"All I can say is breathtaking. Ye Wen's eyes flashed, he looked around, and expressed his true thoughts without reservation.
After the two chatted a few words on the spot, a richly dressed waiter soon greeted them, and when it came to dressing, it was even much more gorgeous than Ye Wen's newly bought clothes, but people couldn't tell who was the waiter and who was the guest.
"Commander Xiahou, please come here. The Four Elephants Hall where the banquet was held was over there. As soon as the waiter's finger was directed, he led the way for Xiahou Tianyi and Ye Wen.
The people who can participate in the banquet are all recorded, and the waiter in charge of the reception is naturally clear about the identity of the guests, and Xiahou Tianyi's identity is particularly noble, so he will naturally not be easily neglected, but Ye Wen's status is not high, and the treatment is naturally subtle.
Ye Wen smiled slightly, didn't care about it, followed him over, and walked side by side with Xiahou Tianyi unceremoniously, not caring that there was a hint of disdain in the waiter's eyes.
In the eyes of this waiter, how can a little nobleman like Ye Wen be on an equal footing with the commander, it is too rude, too lacking in self-knowledge, and he secretly thought in his heart, he is really a vulgar soldier, no more noble than the blood nobles, all of them are this kind of goods.
The contradiction between the military nobles and the bloodline nobles is still quite unfamiliar to emerging nobles like Ye Wen, but if it were Jin Tianya and Feng Yue, they would know the position of this waiter.
On the northeast side of the palace, a splendid and solemn and brightly lit hall stands under the cover of night, as the guests gradually arrive, slowly becoming lively, and dozens of waiters with plates come to walk back and forth in the corridor.
Ye Wen raised his eyes and looked over, and was about to ask Xiahou Tianyi beside him about something, when he suddenly frowned, the muscles in his body subconsciously tensed, and then the vision in front of him suddenly darkened, as if the night in the sky was completely shrouded, and in an instant, the five fingers around were not visible.
Ye Wen stood in place, calmly looking at this pitch black, the truth in his body was bubbling and flowing, permeating the meridian muscles all over his body, he was no longer the boy who panicked in trouble, he encountered countless crises in the jungle, after polishing again and again, his mind was as strong as steel, and even far more tenacious than ordinary soldiers.
Respond to change with the same.
This is the only right strategy he can adopt at the moment, and too much worry will only exacerbate the severity of the problem. This is an enemy attack, with an enemy lying in ambush on the side, but this is a well-guarded palace of the four families, and it is unlikely that there would be such a bold assassin, because this would be tantamount to slapping the four families in the face. It is absolutely impossible for that young master of Leng Feng Zhai to be stupid to this point.
So......
Could it be-
Ye Wen's mind was racing, and suddenly, the darkness around him gradually dissipated, and as a light like dawn floated up, day and night were reversed all of a sudden, and the surroundings turned into bright as day.
