But now that Lian Yi was beside the princess, he had to go see her...
After pondering for a moment, Ling Jing finally nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Le, I will go to this Yinghua Banquet."
Oxfam laughed. In fact, his move was naturally very selfish. If Ling Jing could be introduced to the princess, then it would be easier to win him over using the princess's methods.
As for helping him meet with Lian Yi, that would be easy.
"Brother Ling, let's find a place to stay now, and then I will tell you about this Yinghua Banquet."
Ling Jing nodded slightly, the two of them settled the bill in the "Seven Phoenix Tower", paid some extra compensation, and then left the building.
After passing through several bustling streets, the two of them arrived at a small courtyard in the west of the city.
"Brother Ling, this is a piece of my private property that has never been inhabited. Now it is just the right place for you to stay."
This house is neither big nor small, just like the mansion of an ordinary wealthy family. It is not too eye-catching, but the layout of the house is quite exquisite, and there is no shortage of gardens and pavilions.
"Let Brother Le worry about it." Ling Jing cupped his hands and smiled.
"No, I don't like to hear what Brother Ling is saying. It's too foreign, haha!"
Oxfam led Ling Jing to briefly familiarize himself with the environment of the house, and then took a seat in a side hall.
"Brother Ling, now let me tell you about this Yinghua Banquet." Ox Shi sat opposite Ling Jing, with two cups of fragrant tea on the table, and said seriously.
Ling Jing saw his serious expression and guessed that this Yinghua Banquet might not be as simple as it sounds, so he immediately said, "I was about to ask Brother Le for advice."
Oxfam suddenly smiled and asked: "Brother Ling, do you know who first initiated this Yinghua Banquet?"
Ling Jing shook his head. He had no idea about this part of the capital, so how could he possibly know these things?
Lexi took a sip of tea and said without deliberately titillating: "Actually, the initiator of this Yinghua Banquet is Princess Jingchun, who was the most favored by the emperor at that time, and it has been held for five consecutive years. Every time it is held,
Only the most outstanding young masters in the world are invited, and they must come from prominent families and have a certain background."
"Only invite young masters with prominent family backgrounds?" Ling Jing's expression changed and he thought, no wonder no one in the world has heard of this matter.
Most of the people outside the capital had little background, and there were very few local tyrants and gentry, so naturally they would not be able to get into the eyes of the princess of the dynasty.
Immediately, he remembered another thing.
"Brother Le, how many young masters are there in the capital?" One thing he has always wondered about is why the artistic conception level masters who are extremely rare in the world are not as powerful as imagined in the capital, and today
I randomly meet a young gentleman, and his swordsmanship is actually at the artistic level.
Oxfam smiled slightly, as if he had expected Ling Jing to ask this question, and said slowly: "The land of the capital is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible for the people outside to make trouble?"
Ling Jing's face showed a look of surprise. No wonder no matter how troubled the world has been in recent years, the imperial court has been as stable as Mount Tai. It turns out that it has never paid attention to the changes in the world.
But then I heard Oxfam sigh and said: "But there are also many hidden masters in the world outside. For example, there are probably not less than ten people with superb martial arts skills such as Brother Ling. But these people
Generally speaking, they don't reveal their secrets, and the court rarely asks them anything."
Ling Jing's heart moved and he said: "Brother Le, are you talking about those masters who are hidden in the world?"
Oxfam nodded and suddenly said with a meaningful smile: "Brother Ling, don't tell me that you don't know that the Huashan Sect also has a peerless master of swordsmanship and divine communication?"
"Uh..." Ling Jing laughed, wondering in his heart, does the imperial court also know that Uncle Feng Taishi is still alive?
Neither of them wanted to continue to argue about this topic, so they passed it by, and then heard Oxfam remind him: "There is also this Yinghua Banquet, Yi Xiaolou from Yizige will definitely attend, this person has already
I have been pursuing Princess Jingchu for three years, and I will definitely attend the Yinghua Banquet every year."
"Brother Ling must be more careful when the time comes. Today you injured Chen Qi and cut off another person's hands and feet. With Yizige's style of always protecting one's shortcomings, they will not let it go."
Ling Jing smiled coldly and said, "Thank you, Brother Le, for reminding me. I can handle this matter myself."
Oxfam said: "There will also be people from our Dongchang attending the banquet. If Yizige wants to use the large number of people to bully the small people, then it is a wrong calculation."
Ling Jing smiled faintly and was noncommittal. He naturally understood Oxfam's kindness, but he liked to rely on himself in everything. He wanted to go and meet Yizige and the number one swordsman in the capital in person.
The two chatted for a while, and then Oxfam got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said to Ling Jing: "Brother Ling, there are many interesting places in this capital. I may be busy with some affairs these days and cannot accompany you to play. You
You might as well walk around by yourself."
Ling Jing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, brother Le, don't pay attention to me."
Oxfam bowed his hands and said goodbye, walked two steps, and suddenly remembered something and stopped walking: "I heard that the Shenjian Hou Mansion will have relics from a hundred years ago on display soon. Brother Ling is a master of swords, so he might as well do it then.
Go and have a look.”
After hearing this, Ling Jing fell into deep thought and didn't even notice when Oxfam left.
The Marquis of the Divine Sword was a marquis who was personally conferred by the emperor more than 120 years ago, and he also personally wrote the royal plaque of "Marquis of the Divine Sword" to reward this person, which can be said to be a great favor.
The Divine Sword Marquis serves the royal family and guards the Ouchi Palace. His swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. He has never been defeated in his life. He has lost countless masters who have evil intentions towards the royal family.
It is said that the five most powerful masters of the barbarian kingdom at that time secretly sneaked into the capital in an attempt to assassinate the emperor. However, the Shenjian Hou only used one sword alone, and all five masters were killed by the sword in just a few seconds. It was precisely because of this battle that later on
Only then will he be canonized as the Divine Sword Marquis by the emperor and become famous all over the world.
"The Divine Sword Lord..." Ling Jing sat in the side hall, his eyes contemplative. He has been famous for the Divine Sword Lord for a long time, and there are many rumors about this person in the world.
The Shenjianhou Mansion was at its peak more than a hundred years ago because of the Shenjianhou, but in the next hundred years it was extremely mediocre. There was not a single amazing swordsman among the younger generations. Even the Shenjianhou was the original one.
You can't even learn one-tenth of the tenth level of swordsmanship.
"Is it that the descendants of the Divine Sword Master are too mediocre, or is his swordsmanship so profound that future generations cannot know its essence?"
He suddenly became very interested in the relics that were going to be on display at the Palace of Divine Sword. (To be continued.
