Chapter 772 Banquet

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Bai Lingmiao, dressed in white, slowly walked towards the main hall in front of her under the guidance of four eunuchs holding lanterns.

This is not the palace of Emperor Si Qi, but a place where he used to escape the summer heat. But even if it is a place to escape the summer heat, the specifications are completely in accordance with the rules of the palace.

As he got closer and closer to the main hall, the sweet music reached Bai Lingmiao's ears from inside.

As soon as she walked in, she saw hundreds of people sitting on both sides of the hall. They were sitting there with cheerful smiles, exchanging glasses of wine.

Among them were civil servants, military officers, and even some monks and Taoist priests. Some of them looked particularly impressive.

In the center of the hall, several delicate beauties with small feet were standing on the palms of the armored man, dancing lightly on the palms to the music.

"This is a celebration banquet?" Bai Lingmiao didn't understand for a while. Is this the important thing on the paper crane?

"Lord Saint, please come this way." Under the leadership of the eunuch, Bai Lingmiao sat down in a good seat in the front row.

After a while, various kinds of deer antlers, bear paws, and things Bai Lingmiao had never seen before were brought to her.

However, Bai Lingmiao didn't even care about the waste of food. Sitting next to the dragon chair, a huge weirdo wearing a red robe attracted her attention.

That was Xuan Mi. The once dead Xuan Mi actually appeared in front of her again.

When Bai Lingmiao was thinking about Xuan Miao, Xuan Miao obviously noticed it and shook her head gently towards her.

Feeling an inexplicable familiarity, Bai Lingmiao frowned slightly and sat there silently with a trace of suspicion.

When she looked towards the main table facing the door of the main hall, she saw several emperors sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor of Daliang, the khan of Qingqiu, and the emperor of Houshu all around.

Gao Zhijian was obviously the most noble at the moment, sitting in the center. Qingqiu Khan was the second most noble. As for Hou Shu and Si Qi, the two subjugated emperors who had just recovered their lands, they were sitting on the edge.

When Gao Zhijian's hand gently grasped the wine bottle, the eunuch on the side immediately looked down, and the dancers who were dancing in the palms quickly finished and retreated quickly.

"Today." As Gao Zhijian's deep voice sounded, the hall quickly became quiet.

"Today, I am very happy. The Si Qi Kingdom has now been recaptured by all the soldiers from the evil cult that has brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces burst into laughter, and it was obvious that everyone liked the good news.

After a pause, Gao Zhijian continued. Although Bai Lingmiao was not a scholar, she could clearly feel that these words were of little value.

The general idea is that the Dharma teaching is no longer good, so let everyone continue their efforts to annihilate the Dharma teaching in one fell swoop, and strive to return to the DPRK this year.

The dancers came up again, this time instead of dancing on the palms of their hands, they danced on the drums. Their white and tender little feet danced rhythmically on the big drums on the round table along with their graceful dance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Thinking that the Bailian believers outside were still eating the leftover vegetables, and then looking at the extravagant scene in front of him, Bai Lingmiao felt mixed emotions at the moment.

Accompanied by this mood, the entire celebration banquet gradually came to an end.

When everyone was almost gone, Bai Lingmiao walked towards Emperor Si Qi. "Your Majesty, the battle is not over yet. Isn't it wrong for you to be so extravagant?"

"I asked them to do this." It was Gao Zhijian who said this. He looked a little tired wearing the imperial crown on his head, as if the imperial crown weighed a thousand pounds.

"Junior sister Bai, I know what you mean, but at this time, we cannot save this kind of ostentation. If we don't do this, the people below will easily have random thoughts. Compared with stabilizing people's hearts, this expense is nothing."

Bai Lingmiao looked at Gao Zhijian in front of him and felt that he was a little different from the silly big man in the past.

Hearing what Gao Zhijian said, Bai Lingmiao stopped asking questions. She turned her attention to more important things. "Master Xuan Ming? Aren't you dead?"

With a gentle wave of Gao Zhijian's hand, the imperial army quickly surrounded the entire hall, while the eunuchs in the palace acted as the second line of defense. "Let's come in and talk."

Soon in the inner hall, Bai Lingmiao saw Li Sui, covered with tentacles, emerging from the large Taoist robe, and Li Huowang's face emerged from the black hole.

The Xuan Ni just now was propped up by Li Sui's tentacles to show off. The real Xuan Ni was indeed dead.

Li Huowang was dragging Xuan Mi's red robe with strange words on it, like a big sheet.

But soon, the red Taoist robe quickly retracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it fit just right on Li Huowang.

Li Huowang walked to Bai Lingmiao, hugged her gently without saying a word, and then let go again.

"The news that Xuan Mi and the others are gone cannot be spread. It will easily affect the morale of the army." As Gao Zhijian spoke, some people slowly walked in from outside.

Obviously, most of the people who can come in now are the core of the coalition forces, and they all know what happened.

It was just a formality outside, and now it has just begun.

Everyone sat down on the golden nanmu chairs. The eunuchs serving around them put down a cup of tea next to everyone and then left one after another.

Compared with the previous celebrations, the atmosphere in the inner hall was obviously a bit depressing. A faint white smoke floated from the tea cup, and no one spoke first.

"Xuan Ming is dead. You don't have to hide it from me. Just tell me what's going on now." Li Huowang was the first to speak.

No matter how difficult the next situation is, after such a long time, Li Huowang is already mentally prepared at this moment.

After Li Huowang finished speaking, he waited for the answer, but after a while, no one answered him.

"What? Do you think my status is too low to be qualified to ask you questions?"

After taking a look at Gao Zhijian and receiving the instructions, a young eunuch named Sitian of Daliang said: "Now the Fajiao has completely shrunk to Nanping. The spies have just been sent there, so we don't know what is going on inside the Fajiao."

"It's gone? It's gone now? Are you all here now, and are you still planning to hide it from me?" Li Huowang's expression became unkind.

"Zhenren Li, Master Si Tianjian said before his death that there are some things that I cannot tell you."

"Don't use Xuan Ping to pressure me! I have to listen to whatever he says? If he is so capable, then why is he dead?"

"Since I want to be completely involved now, I can't be blind and deaf and tell the specific situation. I will decide what to do next!!"

Gao Zhijian waved his hands lightly, trying to suppress Li Huowang's anger. "Senior Brother Li, calm down, they won't hide it from you. What do you want to ask, be specific. They will tell you."

"How did Xuan Mi die? When I was fighting with Ma Tuo, what happened on their side?"
