Chapter 73 Horse Sacrifice
Dajing Palace, brightly lit.
In the Fengtian Hall, there were ox candles and blazing lights, just like daytime.
The ground is paved with golden floor tiles, which are as shiny as real gold. They complement the carved beams and painted buildings above and are extremely gorgeous.
Sandalwood tables carved with cloud patterns and flowers were arranged neatly, and the east and west rows were lined up from north to south at the entrance of the main hall.
The sandalwood table is filled with exquisite and luxurious bowls and plates, which are as white as jade and crystal clear, with various flower patterns, group flower pictures, landscape pictures, and pictures of happiness and longevity painted on them. The bowls and plates contain all kinds of rare delicacies. .
Venison, beef, and even some low-grade monster meat, all kinds of aromas wafted around, mixing together to create a strong impact.
There were people sitting behind the table at this time.
The emperor was sitting due north, with the dignified and beautiful queen beside him. The two of them were sitting at a table alone.
On the left are the princes and princes, and further down are the princes, dukes, earls, and marquises, and then the female relatives.
On the right is the Dazhen envoy, with Prince Ying at the top, followed by the two great masters, then Cheng Tianfeng, followed by various officials.
In the center of the hall, a group of beauties were singing and dancing. Their dances were graceful and their voices were like the sounds of nature, attracting everyone's attention.
But the disadvantage of neatly arranged tables is that everyone can see the empty seats, so it's obvious that not everyone is here.
Especially, there is an empty seat at the first table on the west side, and it is the most empty seat.
Amidst the singing and dancing, Chu Minghou, Bai Ningshuang, Chu Yi, Chu Zhiyuan and his family came in quietly and went to their seats respectively. Chu Minghou, however, sat at the front, the highest empty seat on the west side.
He looked up at the emperor in the north and saw a smile on his clear face. His clear eyes just glanced at him and then turned to singing and dancing, and sat down hurriedly.
Since the unblocking, he had already visited the emperor, more than once or twice. Each time, the emperor's expression was always indifferent and distant.
He knew that the emperor obviously disliked him, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about the emperor.
As soon as Chu Zhiyuan sat down, Chu Mingxuan poked his head across the table and looked over. Then he quietly got up and came to his side: "Fourth brother, why are you so late?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I was still practicing just now. "
"Are you sure?" Chu Mingxuan looked at the other side, especially Cheng Tianfeng at the second table.
Cheng Tianfeng has a calm expression and looks very similar to Chu Zhiyuan in temperament. He can tell at a glance that he is not easy to deal with.
If you were defeated in front of so many people, it would be a huge embarrassment. It would not only embarrass Lao San himself, but also the entire Da Jing and the royal family! This responsibility is really too heavy.
"Just do your best." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
As he spoke, he held a flying dragon bone in his sleeves.
The Dragon Transformation Technique surges forward, constantly absorbing the breath of the flying dragon bone, strengthening its own breath and thereby strengthening its own bones.
Talking does not delay his practice.
"Yes, there is no need to make it too difficult for yourself, just do your best." Chu Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder and returned to his seat. There were three princes at his table. They came over to ask, and Chu Mingxuan waved his hand.
Then Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan and the others also came over to ask Chu Zhiyuan, but Chu Zhiyuan could only say it again. Others looked over and felt strange.
When did the crown prince of Prince Qing's Mansion become so popular? Everyone ran over to say hello and talk to him. Most of them didn't receive the news, and they didn't know why.
But because of this, I looked sideways and felt that it was abrupt and that the change was too fast. Did I miss something? People who sat back talked about it one after another.
"Fourth brother will definitely win."
"Fourth brother is obviously confident when he speaks like this." "Fourth brother's temperament is to seek stability."
They were talking, and so were others.
Especially the table of female relatives were more curious, and they all came to Bai Ningshuang's table to ask why. Xiao Ruoling was also there, and was being pulled to her table by Bai Ningshuang.
"Sister Bai, the fourth prince is indeed extraordinary. He is a seed of cultivation." "With such good qualifications and great potential, Ning Shuang, just wait and enjoy the blessings." Hearing this, Bai Ningshuang beamed.
"Ling'er, you are also a blessed person." Xiao Ruoling smiled sheepishly.
Chu Yi came closer to Xiao Ruoling and lowered her voice: "Sister-in-law, why did the emperor insist on asking eldest brother to attend, and also asked Huang Cheng to come to greet him? It's very weird." She felt something was wrong.
Huang Cheng was not an ordinary eunuch, so it would be suspicious to go there to invite their family. Xiao Ruoling blushed when she called her sister-in-law.
Chu Yi continued: "The eldest brother's expression was also unusual, as if something big had happened." Although she was innocent and naive, she was actually extremely sensitive and felt Chu Zhiyuan's seriousness.
Originally, I came to this palace dinner just to join in the fun, but why was my eldest brother so serious, as if something big had happened? Xiao Ruoling's deep eyes flashed, becoming more and more confusing.
Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Ruoling gently tugged on her sleeves and said softly: "Let's wait and see. Maybe something big will be announced at this banquet, and it may be news we don't know about." "I hope so." Chu Yi woke up and held her hand. Xiao Ruoling held up her hands and said with emotion: "Brother is so lucky."
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled softly.
This sister-in-law is innocent, kind, gentle, lively and smart, which is really rare. Whichever family she marries into in the future will be lucky.
At this time, the singing and dancing stopped, and the beauties in gauze clothes retreated lightly.
Cheng Tianfeng stood up and saluted with clasped fists: "Your Majesty, we are here on the orders of the Emperor to become friends forever. We specially present a gift chosen by the Emperor himself." "Oh, what is it?" Emperor Chu Qingquan, who was sitting due north, said calmly. Smile: "You might as well submit it."
Cheng Tianfeng clapped his hands twice hard.
A young man sitting at the end of the Dazhen mission stood up and after leaving the hall, a huge iron cage soon appeared in the hall. Twenty strong men carried the huge iron cage into the hall.
Inside the iron cage, two golden horses stood quietly, their four eyes looking around smartly. The scales on their bodies looked like they were covered with golden armor. "These are heavenly dragon horses, one male and one female. They can give birth to foals. They are ours." The treasure of Dazhen is specially presented to Your Majesty."
"The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse..." Chu Qingquan nodded and nodded slightly: "Brother Cheng is interested."
This Tianlong Divine Horse is indeed a treasure. Those monsters cannot be left outside. They are cruel in nature and feed on humans.
Even the monsters with thin bloodline in Xiaochixia Mountain cannot be released outside, and they are still beyond the ability of ordinary martial arts masters to deal with. Mixing monsters with ordinary beasts is extremely difficult, because the bloodline of monsters is overbearing, and ordinary beasts cannot bear it and cannot give birth to children. .
Therefore, it is rare to see a dragon-horse hybrid such as Tianlong Shenma.
It is a treasure that combines the power of a monster with the gentleness of a normal horse.
Cheng Tianfeng smiled and said: "But there is one problem. These two heavenly dragon horses have not been tamed, and they are extremely difficult to tame. Even the great master can only control them but cannot tame them." Chu Qingquan said: "Isn't it possible that Dazhen is so untamed?" Can one tame it?"
"I haven't found anyone to tame them so far, and even my master can't do anything." Cheng Tianfeng shook his head and sighed: "If they can't be tamed and are kept in captivity, they will die of their own accord in a month." He turned to look at the people opposite him and said with a smile. : "You are all heroes of the Great Scenery. I wonder if you can tame these two heavenly dragon horses?"
Chu Qingquan smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, what Dazhen can't do, Dajing can't do either. It's better to just let them go. They are also sacred objects in heaven and earth. Don't waste them like this." "How to deal with it is of course up to Your Majesty. "That's what I meant." Cheng Tianfeng smiled and said, "It's just a pity for Your Majesty."
Chu Qingquan smiled.
