"Sir Xu, please come in. The prince has been waiting inside for a long time." The steward said respectfully. He was just a foreign affairs steward. Naturally, there would be people inside to receive distinguished guests like them.
Xu Jing nodded slightly, and then walked in with a group of people behind him, while the people standing aside did not complain at all.
As soon as he entered the mansion, a servant walked by wearing purple clothes. Next to him there were servants wearing other colors, waiting to receive guests.
"Sir, gentlemen, because there are a lot of people, the prince is waiting in the back garden to receive the distinguished guests. Please come with me." The servant said respectfully.
Xu Jing was prepared for this when he saw so many people. No matter how big the living room was, it could not accommodate so many people. He nodded and signaled for his servants to lead the way.
After a stick of incense, the servants led them to a unique garden. Many rare flower species were still blooming around, adding a faint floral fragrance to the air. Together with the evergreen trees all year round, it was also unique.
mood.
As soon as they entered, they were spotted by the palace steward who was waiting here. He apologized to the guest who was talking to him and walked towards Xu Jing.
Before the person even came close, his face was already full of smiles, and he greeted him enthusiastically.
"Master Xu, if the prince knew that you came so early, he would definitely be even happier. He was still nagging you just now, but now the prince has some things to deal with and will have to wait a while before he can come over."
"Haha, the prince is so polite. It is our honor to be able to attend the prince's banquet. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time. I must not come back drunk this time." Xu Jing also said with a smile on his face, even
Somewhat self-effacing.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, you don't mean to offend me by saying this. The prince heard this and didn't scold me for not entertaining the adults well. These are your grandchildren, right? They are all full of energy and blessings." The housekeeper waved his hands quickly.
He said, and by the way, he praised Xu Jing and everyone behind him.
This butler is really good at talking. After a few words, even Gu Zheng felt that the other person was really reliable and unusually eloquent. He made everyone feel happy and like a spring breeze.
Because there were other people walking in one after another, the housekeeper did not chat with them more, and left the place with the same apology.
Looking at the figure of the other party, Gu Zheng was a little confused at this time. When the other party left, he actually felt a little reluctant to leave. How could a mere mortal cause fluctuations in his mood.
But Gu Zheng deliberately observed the other party, and found that he was indeed just an ordinary person, and there was no spiritual fluctuation in his body. He could not hide it in front of Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng could only attribute it to the other party's talent. No wonder this prince
Don't worry, he will receive guests alone.
Many temporary tables have been set up outside. Of course, the most important thing is the longer and larger table in the middle, which can seat nearly twenty people.
At this time, there were nearly ten people sitting on it, and behind each of them there were one or two young men and women standing behind them. They seemed to be their children, and they were all greeting each other in low voices.
Xu Jing almost never brought so many people at once. Most of them only brought two or three people here.
There are also many maids around, serving everyone tea and water. If you have any questions, you can ask them.
"Nephew Gu Xian, come with me. I will introduce you to a few people. They are all elders you have never met. You guys go and sit next to them." Xu Jing said to Gu Zheng with a smile.
This made the other juniors jealous and sour in their hearts. They felt that Xu Jing was too partial. Who didn't know what it meant to introduce him to others on this occasion, but they could only accept that they were no longer the number one favorite in the head of the family's heart.
people.
Luo Wei, on the other hand, still looks the same, but he is still confused when he looks at Gu Zheng. He already knows about him, not just relying on his ancestors. He wants to become a disciple with Miss Shuang'er, but why does Miss Shuang'er want him to become a disciple?
He is a teacher, but I can't see what's so great about him.
Of course Gu Zheng understood that Xu Jing was creating opportunities for himself to find out if he knew anyone. He told him that as long as the person he was looking for had contact with him, he would be able to find out.
Xu Jing was convinced of this. After all, the other party's methods of using immortals were beyond their imagination.
They walked directly towards the big table in the middle, which was obviously the place where the prince entertained distinguished guests.
The prince has not appeared at this time. It seems that he will not appear here without waiting for the guest's sword energy.
As soon as they got close to here, a few of them, who were about the same age as Xu Jing, looked over, and one of them with a kind face waved them over.
Xu Jing was not polite at all. He walked directly to the man and gave him a strong hug. It seemed that the two of them were very familiar.
"Old Xu, do you want to murder me? Why are you so vigorous? It hurts me to death." The man being held by Xu Jing said helplessly.
"I can still kill you. Your reputation as Doctor Xia is well-known. I didn't expect you to come here. Don't you like this kind of occasion?" Xu Jing laughed and sat next to him.
Come down.
Gu Zheng also imitated the others and stood behind Xu Jing in a dignified manner, silently saying nothing, but catching everyone's attention with one glance.
Those people were all normal people, only a man and a woman near the end attracted Gu Zheng's attention.
They were said to be a man and a woman, probably a grandfather and a granddaughter. They were an old man with a stooped figure, all dressed in dark green clothes. Next to him sat a handsome young man with a delicate appearance.
Mainly due to the faint spiritual energy fluctuations on the two of them, one was fifth level and the other was second level. They seemed to be two immortal cultivators, but they glanced at each other without letting them notice.
"Ahem! I really didn't want to come at first, but the prince's youngest son was cured of a strange disease. This made me very curious. I want to know who the master is who did it. I also want to learn from him.
"Facing Xu Jing's teasing, Xu Jing said a little embarrassed that Xu Jing became the Xia Miracle Doctor.
"I see. I thought you were the one who cured his child's condition before, but it turns out it was someone else." Xu Jing said curiously, "Are you also helpless about this disease? I don't believe there is someone with better medical skills than you.
Even stronger."
Gu Zheng looked at Xu Jing's surprised tone. It seemed that this doctor, Doctor Xia, was also very famous.
"You are so optimistic about me. There are so many difficult and complicated diseases in the world. It is a pure luck that I can be recognized by everyone. For some incurable diseases, I am also powerless and cannot cure them, which is normal.
"Mr. Xia said nonchalantly, looking very open-minded and admitting his own shortcomings.
Xu Jing shook his head and said again, "But I still don't believe it. There are still people in Fengcheng who you can't cure. And I suspect that you are deliberately hiding your shame. Do you want to go into seclusion?"
Doctor Xia smiled and did not continue. It didn't matter whether the other party believed it or not. Anyway, he would not slap someone in the face and pretend to be fat. He had already looked away from this point. He raised his finger and pointed at the man and woman behind him and said to Xu Jing.
.
"This is my grandson, Xia Jia, Xia Xin. You have seen him before. Didn't he just come back from outside? I just happened to bring him here to see the world. I'd like to give you Uncle Xu a greeting."
"Hello, Uncle Xu." Xia Jiahe and Xia Xin said in unison.
"Haha, I didn't expect your grandchildren to be so old. It must have been ten years since I last saw them." Xu Jing sighed, "Come on, I don't have anything good with me, so I'll give you these two pearls."
It’s given to you.”
As Xu Jing spoke, he took out two pearls from his body. Gu Zheng took a look and saw that they were the pearls given to him at that time. It is estimated that the other one was handed over by someone who didn't know who. Gu Zheng's heart twitched, didn't he
Do you know how precious this thing is?
However, the two men and women did not think so much. They saw only two medium-sized pearls. Although the quality looked good, they looked a bit small and did not sell well.
A look of disappointment appeared on his face, obviously he felt that this gift was not very good.
But he still looked at his grandfather with two pairs of eyes. He had a very strict upbringing.
"Since it was your Uncle Xu who gave it to you, you should follow up. Mr. Xu doesn't give things to others easily, so you are lucky." His grandchildren are not sensible, how could he not know the weight of this.
The two of them stepped forward and each took one back, thanking them at the same time.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, they looked like they didn't want it very much. Gu Zheng felt that the other party was really blind, giving them such a good thing was really blind.
"I wonder who this person is? There is some strangeness. Mo Biao has just come back from outside?" Doctor Xia looked at Gu Zheng with interest and suddenly asked.
"Yes, he just came back from other places, but he is the descendant of an elder, and I specially brought him to see the world this time."
"Nephew Gu Xian, this is your Uncle Xia, one of the most outstanding doctors in Fengcheng, as famous as the doctor in the palace who specializes in treating saints." Only then did Xu Jing remember that he had not introduced Gu Zheng to Doctor Xia yet.
.
"Hello, Uncle Xia." Gu Zheng said respectfully towards Divine Doctor Xia. Of course, he could feel the aura of Doctor Xia. He could save people's lives, no less than his reborn parents. It was not easy for him to pass on such a good reputation.
"That's right, that's right. It looks like he's full of energy. He's a good seedling. He'll train him well in the future and he'll be a pillar." Doctor Xia looked at Gu Zheng and praised with a smile.
Then he took out a white jade bottle from his arms and handed it over, "Your uncle, I don't have anything else, so I will give it to you with this heart-teasing pill. Although I dare not say that it can cure all diseases, it can be used to treat ordinary ailments."
The injury is nothing to worry about, so I gave it to my nephew for self-defense."
As soon as Divine Doctor Xia finished speaking, Gu Zheng could feel the eyes of the two people opposite him looking over at him. Their eyes were obviously full of envy. It was obvious that this thing was quite famous. Even Xu Jing looked surprised.
"Thank you, Uncle Xia." Gu Zheng took it and put it in his arms. As a person in the Golden Immortal stage, he naturally wouldn't think there was anything special about mortal elixirs, but he couldn't refuse the other party, so he
Thanks for taking it.
"Doctor Xia, you are still generous. This is your secret medicine. It is easy not to give it away. I didn't expect you to bleed heavily this time. It seems that you really give me this old face." Xu Jing knew that Gu Zheng was an immortal.
, despised these things, but still subconsciously wanted to make a good impression on his old friend.
"Where, where, haha." Divine Doctor Xia said with a smile. It was obvious that Xu Jing had hit his mind.
The reason why I gave such precious elixirs to my old friend was to give him some life-saving medicine. You must know that I can clearly see the current disputes in the court, so of course I have to turn against my own people.
Just when Xu Jing was about to say something else, a loud voice sounded from outside.
"King Wei is here!"
It turned out that unknowingly, the long table in front of Gu Zheng was almost full of people. While they were chatting, the sky unknowingly darkened a little.
Gu Zheng looked aside and found that Luo Wei and the others had already sat down at a table nearby. Next to them were the young people brought by others. They were now looking at the direction where the sound came from.
The servant's voice made all the noise in the courtyard disappear, and everyone was looking at the door of the courtyard.
The nearby maids also followed the steward's instructions and placed huge night pearls around them. As the soft light slowly rose, the brightness of the entire courtyard was almost the same as during the day.
I saw a few beautiful maids walking out of the courtyard door first, followed by a man and a woman.
The man was about forty years old, with short hair. He looked very imposing in middle age. As soon as he came in, he glanced around with a pair of tiger eyes. His calm demeanor made people look at him.
The other one is a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a purple palace dress, and her decent clothes just bring out her exquisite figure.
By this time, everyone had already stood up, and when they saw them coming out, they shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty, hello, Princess."
Because there were too many people coming, others had already been arranged to go elsewhere. The prince had gone there first before coming here, because this was his closest friend.
"Everyone, please take a seat. You are welcome. We are all friends of the king. Don't be too unfamiliar with each other." King Wei took his wife and said with a smile.
Xu Jing and the others smiled at each other and sat down one after another.
Don't be polite to King Wei. The more polite you are to him, the more he will think you are outgoing. Instead, he will think you are fake and will alienate you unconsciously.
As the prince came over, several people also walked here, and the guards guarding outside closed the courtyard door.
You can vaguely hear the noise coming from other places.
"Everyone is well aware of my temper. I don't know how to mince words. If I have anything to say, I just say it directly." After the prince sat down with the princess, he immediately said to everyone.
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Yes, none of us know your temper, Prince, so of course we won't have any objections."
Whether everyone is telling the truth or trying to flatter the prince, no one is ignorant enough to object.
"Okay, everyone is happy enough." The prince glanced at everyone and said cheerfully, "The first thing is of course to serve the food and wine first. We can't let everyone sit here empty-handed because they are hungry."
The prince made a little joke, which made everyone burst into laughter.
As the prince finished speaking, the door to the outer courtyard opened again, and rows of maids walked in one after another. Soon every table was filled with wine and food, but no one moved their chopsticks, because the prince must have something else to do next.
To do.
Sure enough, when the servants went down, the prince spoke from above.
"I invite you all to come here this time. First, because Xiao'er Huang'er's strange disease has finally been cured. With my temperament, of course I want to celebrate. Secondly, I have a very good opportunity for you. But is there such a thing?
Your luck depends on your luck."
The prince's words went beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone could imagine the first point, but what does it mean next.
Everyone looked at the prince with puzzled expressions, including the young people sitting on the periphery, who all looked curious and wondered what the prince was doing.
Could it be that the prince summoned everyone here because he wanted to give everyone some benefits.
"Haha, Princess, look, everyone is like what I said before. Everyone is surprised why I do this." At this time, the prince pretended to be secretive and said to the woman next to him with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, even the first time I heard you play riddles like this, I would be surprised. After all, even you would say it was a great blessing. That's really amazing." The princess raised her arms to cover half of her face and scoffed.
smiled.
"Your Majesty, what is going on? Stop trying to tease me." Someone below couldn't help but ask. He seemed to be impatient.
"Hey, I know everyone can't wait, so I'll tell you." The prince said with a smile.
"Everyone knows that in the past few months, my beloved son was severely injured. As a result, everyone had no choice but to do anything. Even Divine Doctor Xia and the man from the palace came, but they were still helpless."
"I'm sorry for your great love. This is the disease that your beloved son got. This is the first time I've seen it like this. I'm really powerless." Below, Divine Doctor Xia said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter, because this strange disease cannot be cured by us ordinary people, and even some immortal cultivators can't cure it. It's really not the fault of Divine Doctor Xia." The prince reassured him, and then continued.
"Later, under the introduction of an expert in my house, I invited a real immortal. This immortal can call the wind and rain, and fly the clouds and mists. But he is a real immortal. After seeing Huang'er's illness, this living immortal took a look
I can tell that Huang'er has immortality and can learn immortality from him. Now I have accepted him as my disciple and become a low-level immortal cultivator. I will soon start practicing with him."
Said, the prince could no longer bear the joy on his face and showed a proud smile.
I didn't expect to meet an immortal. Of course, I have to thank the following two people. I didn't expect that I just accidentally helped them and encountered such a thing.
His eyes couldn't help but see an old man below. At this time, he also looked at himself and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
