It was much more convenient to have Xie Yan. The two quietly took the young man to a small building far away from the banquet hall.
At this time, it was dark inside and outside the small building, and no one was seen inside or outside.
Xie Yan threw the man to the ground and turned to look at Luo Junyao, who had just lit a candle not far behind him.
Most of the houses of the Qi people are made of stone. Except for the palaces where a few nobles live, they have few and small windows.
As long as you close the windows, you don't have to worry about being discovered by lighting a lamp inside.
The young man who was thrown to the ground struggled to raise his head and said angrily: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. It's useless for you to worry about it now."
"The Queen Mother treats you well!" said the young man.
Luo Junyao said: "She also gave me away. I am a very... vindictive person."
"you!"
Seeing that his face was livid with anger, Luo Junyao walked to him and knelt down and said, "Okay, I'm just kidding you. We don't do anything and just watch the show tonight, okay?"
Naturally, the young man would not believe him. Luo Junyao looked at him with some confusion and asked, "I heard that you half-bloods like to hang out with Ji Zhan, why are you still loyal to Bai Jingrong?"
When the young man heard the word mixed race, the expression on his face was a little distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You have nothing to do with it!"
"If you don't want to say it, just say it." Luo Junyao was not angry and shrugged: "No matter who you choose, there will be no good results. Have you ever heard of a saying? People who are not of my race must have different hearts. Qi
The clansmen will not believe you. If Bai Jingrong wants to get rid of Ji Zhan and take control of the Qi clan, he can only push Ji Rong to the throne or remarry a new Qi king. No matter which one it is, the Qi clan will still suppress the Central Plains people in the end.
If Ji Zhan succeeds in seizing Bai Jingrong's power, the result will be the same. He has to use the Bai family army to win over you now, and when he no longer uses the blood of the Qi people and the Central Plains people, he will only regard it as a stain."
The young man looked at Luo Junyao with some disdain and said, "Do you have any other ideas?"
Luo Junyao thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No."
The young man was about to be sarcastic when Luo Jun said: "Have you never thought about returning to the Central Plains?"
"When we return to the Central Plains, are we from the Central Plains?" the young man asked.
They will never be regarded as one of their own no matter where they are.
Luo Junyao thought for a long time, "The Central Plains is rich in resources, and it is not that there are no children born from unions with foreign tribes. Moreover, the situation is completely different from you now. You in the Qi tribe have to compete with the Qi tribe for survival resources, and I am a Qi tribe and I don't want to
Here you go."
The Qi people are already in a difficult situation now, but they can still weather the difficulties as their own people. Once there is a group of outsiders, they will only feel that these people are here to steal resources from them.
The young man glared at Luo Junyao fiercely, lowered his head and stopped talking to her.
Luo Jun shrugged and said nothing, she didn't want to say anything yet.
The banquet gradually reached its climax, exotic music echoed in the hall, and enchanting dancers danced gracefully in the center of the hall.
The maids shuttled through the hall carrying fine wines and delicacies, replenishing the drinks and delicacies for the guests at any time.
The guests all drank a lot of wine, and the whole hall was filled with a strong aroma of wine.
The banquets at the royal court of the Qi people are not like those in the Central Plains. The dignitaries always maintain a dignified posture at formal occasions.
Some guests drank too much and gradually became dissolute.
Some people got up and carried wine pots and wine bottles to sing and dance with others. Some people pulled the dancing girl and maid next to them to make fun of them. The huge hall was full of people and it was very lively.
Bai Jingrong was sitting next to Ji Zhan, and since he seemed extra quiet, Ji Zhan couldn't help but look at him sideways from time to time.
You know, no matter what kind of banquet it is, Bai Jingrong will always be the most eye-catching one at the banquet.
Being so low-key today, plus the fact that Ji Zhan himself had a calculation in his heart and was inevitably feeling guilty, he naturally felt that something was wrong with Bai Jingrong.
"What are A-Zhan looking at?" Bai Jingrong calmly met Ji Zhan's gaze again and asked with a smile.
Ji Zhan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my mother is very silent tonight, but is there anything about the banquet that makes my mother unhappy?"
"How is that possible?" Bai Jingrong said with a faint smile: "It is naturally a great thing for the surrounding ministries to pay tribute. Mother is only happy, but she is just worried about the fact that the girl Chu Chu has been out for quite some time and has not come back."
Ji Zhan curled his lower lip slightly when he heard this, and did not comment on her reasons.
"My mother cares so much about Chu Chu, I'm afraid she will be flattered."
Bai Jingrong didn't seem to hear her son's sarcasm, and said calmly: "She is lovable, so naturally I have to care more. Could it be that A-Zhan is jealous?"
After saying that, he turned his head and said to Qu Fang, who was not far behind him: "Ah Fang, go and see that girl."
Qu Fang glanced in the direction of the palace entrance but did not get up, "She's back."
Bai Jingrong also looked over after hearing this, and sure enough she saw Luo Junyao quietly coming in from the side door of the hall, walking so that no one else would notice her.
Bai Jingrong couldn't help but laugh out loud and said to the people around her: "Go and ask her to come over."
The maid beside him left in response, and a moment later Luo Junyao followed the maid.
"I've met your empress, and I've met your king." Luo Junyao bowed obediently.
Bai Jingrong asked: "Where did you go just now?"
Luo Junyao said: "I just felt dizzy after drinking, so I just wanted to go out and have some fresh air to sober myself up. Didn't sister Bai Ning tell my empress?"
Bai Jingrong raised his hand and tapped her eyebrows and said: "You are indeed a child and can't sit still. There are many people tonight, so don't run around."
Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I won't go out and I won't drink anymore."
Bai Jingrong nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. Go back and sit down."
"Yes, empress." Luo Jun responded and obediently returned to his seat next to Wu Ye.
Wu Ye was also surrounded by several generals of the Bai family army at this time, and they all drank a lot of wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Luo Junyao could clearly feel that Wu Ye was still very sober at this time and had no intention of being drunk at all.
Luo Junyao looked past him and looked behind him. Sitting not far from Wu Ye was Wu Jun. Compared with Wu Ye, Wu Jun's side seemed very deserted, but there was a Qi man talking to him.
Noticing Luo Junyao's appraising gaze, Wu Jun glanced sideways at her, and then quickly turned away with a calm expression.
Luo Junyao counted the time and was somewhat looking forward to when the play would officially begin tonight.
Just when Luo Junyao was feeling drowsy, a strange voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Luo Junyao shuddered, opened his eyes and looked outside.
The man was speaking the Qi dialect, which seemed to be...
"The right general Subu congratulates and asks to see the king."
Subu? Isn’t it the natal family of the queen of the Qi tribe? Subu is the queen’s biological father.
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and found out that he really didn't see this person at the banquet earlier.
This is a figure who holds the military power of the Qi people just like Zuo General Ji Xu.
It is difficult to say whether the reason why Ji Zhan successfully became the crown prince and the king of Qi was because he married his daughter. In short, this person can be regarded as one of Ji Zhan's most important relies.
Hearing the arrival of his father-in-law, Ji Zhan was obviously in a good mood.
He raised his hand and waved away the dancing girl in the palace, and said with a smile: "Please come in, General Right."
Soon a tall man walked in from outside. He looked to be in his fifties. Because he had been practicing martial arts for many years, his skin was dark and he looked very strong, but he was younger than his actual age.
How old.
"Why did the right general come just now?" the left general Ji Xu suddenly said.
Subhe stepped forward, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Some things have been delayed, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Naturally, Ji Zhan would not argue with Subu He. Instead, he smiled at Ji Xu and said, "I have asked General You to do some small things. Thank you General You for your hard work. Come and give me some wine!"
"That's it." Ji Xu nodded and stopped asking.
Soon a maid brought the wine, and Subhe was not polite, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine glasses of the Qi people were not as elegant as those in the Central Plains. Buhe drank the full glass of wine in one gulp without hesitation, causing everyone around him to shout in unison.
Seeing this, the smile on Ji Zhan's face became a little deeper.
Bai Jingrong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Since the king has given you wine, I should also have a drink with the right general." As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Bai Jingrong was once a stunning beauty who was famous all over the world. Even all tribes in the Western Regions had heard of her reputation.
Although after so many years, many people feel that the beauty's reputation for dying young is no longer there, but when I saw her at the banquet tonight, I still felt that she was really stunning. No wonder King Qi was fascinated by her back then.
She is still like this at this age. I wonder how beautiful she was when she was young?
At this moment, she opened her mouth and smiled, which made many guests lose their minds.
It has to be said that even though her youth is gone, Bai Jingrong's beauty is still enough to move people.
Luo Junyao held his chin with one hand, this time simply admiring Bai Jingrong's beauty and charm.
Subu did not refuse. He smiled loudly and said, "Thank you for the wine, my queen."
Soon another maid brought wine. Bai Jingrong took the first step to pick up the wine glass in front of her, smiled at Subu, lowered her head and drank all the wine in the glass.
Subga proudly drank a full glass again. He drank so much strong liquor in a short time, but his face did not change at all, which showed that he had an extraordinary amount of alcohol.
"Tonight is a feast for our Qi tribe, but I don't know what delayed General You and why he came so late?" Bai Jingrong looked at Subu He and asked softly.
Several people who were familiar with Subhe also started making noises, while Ji Xu sat aside and watched the fun with a half-smiling smile.
He and Subhe were in charge of the troops and horses of the Qi tribe. He was the royal family of the Qi tribe, and Subhe was the father-in-law of King Qi. Their relationship could not be said to be good or bad.
Hearing this, Xubuhe glanced at Ji Zhan who was sitting on the throne and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, because tonight is my king's feast, I have specially prepared a gift to present to the king and the queen."
"Oh? What kind of gift is it? I'm a little curious." Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Azhan, what do you think?"
Ji Zhan glanced at his mother meaningfully, nodded and said: "What mother said is true, and I am also very curious. In that case, General Right, please present the gift so that everyone can take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Subha bowed and said.
After a while, a man wearing armor walked in from outside carrying a tray.
This man was fully armored and was obviously an elite soldier of the Qi tribe.
There were even blood stains on the armor that had not been wiped clean. Anyone with a little bit of eyesight could see the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated from this man.
These are not the soldiers who are usually on standby. They have clearly just come off the battlefield.
But at this time, where was the battlefield for the royal court of the Qi people?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the tray in the man's hand, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
The tray was covered with a piece of cloth, and a round ball protruded from the center of the tray.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts.
"Azhan, what do you think General You sent?" Bai Jingrong asked softly.
Ji Zhan lowered his eyes and said: "The congratulatory gift from the right general will not be ordinary things. What does mother think?"
"A Zhan is right." Bai Jingrong smiled sweetly. The mother and son looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of coldness in each other's eyes.
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please take a look." Subuka stretched out his hand and pulled off the cloth on the tray, revealing a bloody head.
The timid female family members were frightened by this terrible gift and screamed.
In the main hall, Ji Zhan stared at the head with a smile on his face. Gradually, the smile on his face slowly dissipated and his face darkened.
