Chapter 12 Great Zhou State Banquet (Part 2)

Feng Guoting said: "How could the court hearing be so unmeasured? Apart from the Holy Spirit, you are the only person qualified to participate in this matter. It is also necessary to let Brother Long know, because the court hearing urgently needs an outstanding helping hand like Brother Long. , other people will just get in the way.”

Long Ying said sheepishly: "I will blush when I praise you! As long as it is your business, I will go through fire and water, even if I die."

Feng Guoting winked at him and said with a smile: "Isn't it a matter for the Holy One?"

This person's demeanor is by no means inferior to Wan Renyu, but his free and easy manner is more than enough, making Long Ying feel like a spring breeze in getting along with him.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Can I not answer this?"

Feng Guoting looked towards the direction of the main hall and said: "While there is still some time, let Guoting make a concise report to Brother Long. After leaving Brother Long's valley that day, he did not return to Beijing but went to Dajiang, traveling westward along the Yangtze River from Yangzhou , crossed the Three Gorges and entered Shu, in order to follow the secret order of the Holy Emperor and investigate the reality of Dajiang Lian."

Long Ying asked in surprise: "What is Dajiang Alliance? If the Holy One is not happy and gives an order, how can they still survive?"

Feng Guoting said: "I originally had this idea, but the more I know, the more I feel that Dajiang Alliance is not simple, and it almost comes back with death, otherwise why bother Brother Long?"

Long Ying was very interested and said: "I would like to hear the details! There are people in the world who can almost kill the young master."

Feng Guoting said: "The Dajiang Alliance has a history of more than a hundred years. It was a loose organization at the beginning, covering more than a hundred large and small gangs operating almost in the Yangtze River area. However, in the past ten years, it has begun to change. From a guild-like organization, It has become a big gang with a tight structure and is ready to cede territory and dominate. Its momentum gradually surpasses that of the Zhuhua Gang. Moreover, the Zhuhua Gang suffered huge losses in the battle of Yangzhou and its vitality was severely damaged. The Dajiang Alliance has the potential to replace it, just because the Dajiang Alliance It is very restrained and suppresses its power in the Yangtze River Basin. The most clever thing is that its gangs still retain their names and structures, making it difficult to know which gang is the leader and which gang is the deputy. Who is in charge? If we want to clean up the Dajiang Alliance, I'm afraid that even after killing more than 100,000 people, we still haven't been able to completely wipe them out."

Long Ying was speechless and said: "There are so many people?"

Feng Guoting said: "Brother Long should now understand why the Holy One attaches great importance to this matter. The Dajiang Alliance has many intentions that make people suspect. The first is to bribe people's hearts. Everything is done according to Jianghu's book. When there is a natural disaster, all efforts are made to provide disaster relief. Jimin. However, under the surface of doing good things, he was involved in many assassinations, including local gang leaders and court officials. If the court investigation is correct, he was also involved in human trafficking, loan sharking, receiving stolen goods, etc. But it’s a business that makes a lot of money but makes people and gods angry. Damn it! I’m sure they have a secret base not far away overseas, and the person in charge is most likely an outsider, trying to seize the opportunity to divide China and facilitate a large-scale invasion by foreigners.”

Long Ying's heart felt itchy, and when he heard that Feng Guoting was so polite and polite, the gentle and elegant swordsman couldn't help but use vulgar words, and he suddenly felt that the distance between the two parties was greatly shortened. He sighed: "Such an opponent is hard to find in the world. His grandma's. We." When did you go pick up that damn Dajiang Lian?"

Feng Guoting smiled and said: "Tell Brother Long one more thing, and leave the rest for tomorrow. Before returning to Beijing, I went to Hainan Island to observe the comings and goings of ships, but I was suddenly attacked. Everyone hid their faces. Martial skills were arrogant. , I tried my best to injure several of them, and then escaped from Hainan Island. The process was so thrilling that I no longer dare to underestimate the other party. Ha! It is said that there is not much talk, but the conversation with Brother Long became more and more interesting. It is a pity that time Not much. You must enter the hall before the Holy Emperor and the guest of honor arrive, otherwise you will have to crawl to your seat."

Long Ying said happily: "Young Master Feng turns out to be such an interesting person. Being able to fight side by side with him will be a happy life."

Feng Guoting responded: "To each other!"

Walking side by side towards the main hall.

The two of them were still a hundred steps away from ascending the jade steps of the palace, when a carriage rushed over. It was supposed to be the latest guest before the arrival of the holy driver.

The car drove past and reached the jade steps.

Long Ying saw that the carriage was gorgeous in style but had the Tai Chi logo on it, which was quite incongruous. He was surprised and asked: "Whose car is it?"

Feng Guoting said: "Of course it is the car of Min Xuanqing, the most famous female crown prince in Luoyang, nicknamed 'Tiannu'. Look!"

Among the more than ten people who were still gathered at the foot of the jade steps, seven or eight people stepped onto the carriage. It seemed that this woman was extremely popular with the ministers.

Feng Guoting leaned into Long Ying's ear and said: "Every time Min Xuanqing discusses Taoism in her Sanqing Temple, the seats are always full, but 90% of the people are drunkards who don't care about drinking. Don't think that the Taoist sect has strict rules and regulations, and just hangs out like Min Xuanqing.

It is vast, and you can go in and out of wealthy houses, and you must go to every elegant gathering, where you can indulge in drunken debauchery, joking, talking and laughing, everything is there, and Brother Long will know the fun of it after trying it."

Long Ying couldn't help but think of the female concubine that Junchen mentioned. But of course Min Xuanqing had another status and was recognized by the courtiers and scholars, otherwise he would not have been invited to the state banquet.

Min Xuanqing stepped out of the carriage and went to the palace surrounded by people. Due to the obstruction of his sight, he could not see clearly. He could only vaguely see her wearing a royal robe. She had a very beautiful figure and a graceful walk. No wonder Feng Guoting talked about her with relish.

road.

The two walked up the stone steps side by side, and most of the guests had already entered the palace. Suddenly, there was a bang bang bang bang from behind. Looking back, the turret was lit, and the firework and firework soared into the sky, which was breathtaking.

Feng Guoting said: "The holy driver has just arrived at the main palace gate!"

The appearance of Guanfeng Hall is indeed majestic, but its true scale cannot be known until you enter the hall.

So far, the largest palace Long Ying has seen is the Yi Mansion Hall where he and Hengkong Makino competed last night. But compared to the Guanfeng Hall, it is dwarfed. The Guanfeng Hall is at least twice as big as the Yi Mansion Hall, about

There are sixteen huge wooden pillars each supporting the hall beams decorated with cloud and dragon paintings. There are twenty-four windows on each side. There is a half corridor next to the hall, connecting the Lichun Terrace, Yaozhang Pavilion, Jiuzhou Pavilion and other buildings in the middle and rear.

For state banquets, seating is arranged according to ancient etiquette.

The honor guard band was placed on both sides of the palace gate, and there were two rows of seats on the left and right, with two people per seat, more than 200 seats. When Long Ying stepped into the palace, he felt as if he had entered the kingdom of giants by mistake. Feng Guoting patted him on the shoulder and said he was sorry.

He found a seat on his own with ease, and the eunuch who didn't need to wait on him showed the way.

Long Ying secretly scolded Feng Guoting for not being loyal enough, and someone loudly sang: "Mr. Long Ying, the guest of the Zhou Dynasty, has arrived!"

Long Ying was so shocked that he almost turned around and ran away, when the fat father-in-law's voice rang in his ears, saying: "Only those who are first-grade officials or above, or who have been crowned kings and dukes are qualified to be sung."

The hall suddenly fell silent. Officials, big and small, beauties and celebrities all looked at him, making him a target of public criticism. He was so embarrassed that he called for help.

The fat father-in-law chuckled and said: "There is always a first time for everything. If you get used to it, you will lose your sense soon. Come! Let my father-in-law personally take you to the table. This is an honor that only a saint can have. My God! Cheer up, you

How can you meet people looking like this now? Don't forget who you are."

Long Ying remembered that one of the people looking at him was the "Heavenly Lady" Min Xuanqing. If he looked like a useless person, how could he make fun of him if they had the chance to meet him in the future?

The courage to kill Xue Huaiyi in front of tens of millions of people.

The fat father-in-law took a breath and said, "That's too much!"

Long Ying's face changed to a smile, and he became calm and relaxed, friendly and natural.

The fat father-in-law said: "Come with me!"

Take the lead.

Long Ying followed him calmly, with the demeanor and aura of an evil emperor naturally hidden. He looked left and right, responded to everyone's gaze with a smile, and walked towards the other end of the hall where there were only two seats. Everyone saw the fat father-in-law personally leading Long Ying to the seats.

They all felt that his status was special and unusual.

The seats on both sides of the chair were not occupied yet, and should be reserved for the royal family and guests of honor.

The fat father-in-law stopped and when Long Ying came to his side, he continued to move and said: "You are sitting on the left, the chief."

Long Ying was shocked and almost lost his mind.

The fat father-in-law said fairly: "This is Hengkong Makino's request. If you want to ask, just ask him."

Long Ying saw that the people sitting closest to the chairman on the left seat were Di Renjie and another high official. They were six seats away from him. He thought in his heart that he, a state guest, was being praised too highly.

Di Renjie winked at him and asked him to go over and talk.

The fat father-in-law raised his eyebrows and said: "Go! Remember, it is the first seat in the front row. Don't sit in the wrong seat. I still have to go to greet the Holy One."

In this environment, seeing acquaintances was like seeing relatives, so Long Ying moved to sit beside Di Renjie at the banquet. Di Renjie introduced him to several nearby officials as usual. Long Ying had already lost his demonic heart and had no intention of loading it up. Even as he had said

Everything is nonsense.

Di Renjie leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Brother Long, do you blame me?"

Long Ying was searching for Min Xuanqing, and when he heard this, he said: "Why do you blame the old man?"

Di Renjie said: "Then I have really wronged you. It turns out that you have no interest in Ou Xian."

Longying couldn't find Min Xuanqing's figure, came back to his senses, and said hurriedly: "Of course that's not the case. Not only does I like to see Miss Ouxian, but I also find it a lot of fun to fight with her. But since the elder has this concern,

Of course I understand. I also thought that Miss Ou Xian would come to bring bad luck to me sooner or later, so her coming to me wouldn’t be considered a breach of promise, so I really don’t blame Mr. Guo.”

Di Renjie smiled bitterly and said: "You are indeed yours. Brother Long has only been in the gods for three days. What he did was sensational, and the gods seemed to have been turned upside down by you. How can you be such a person that no one has heard of you before?"

name?"

Long Ying was worried and said: "With how shrewd the old man is, how could he not guess why I came to the capital of the gods and why I go to the imperial study room to work every day? As for the fact that no one has heard of the boy's name, it's all because of Long Ying

It’s newly modified.”

Di Renjie's eyes sparkled as he stared at him and said solemnly: "As Ren Yu guessed, you are the guy named Xiao Pu."

Long Ying said: "The boy is the living demon seed of the Taoist heart. Du Ao originally regarded it as a furnace. The boy is the Taoist heart. He planted the demon and took the demon to kill me. Who knew that the road would turn around?

, and in the end, I succeeded in cultivating it."

Di Renjie's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Why are you suddenly willing to tell the whole story again?" (To be continued)
