Three days later, the emperor's envoy came to the Glazed Sword Sect.
"Mr. Xiao, the Emperor has prepared a banquet at the Emperor's Palace and has specially asked us to welcome him!" Several envoys had good attitudes and looked humble. They must have received instructions from the Emperor before coming.
"Well, let's go then!"
Xiao Chen took Xiao Yingxue and Guanyue Qinxin with him and followed the Emperor's envoy to the Emperor's Palace.
Obviously, this is a Hongmen Banquet.
However, this was Xiao Chen's initiative. He wanted to see what tricks the other party could pull off.
…
Although the emperor has no real power in Japan and cannot command the army or interfere with national affairs, there is no problem in secretly cultivating some forces.
For example, Shintoism is the organization that has the closest relationship with the emperor.
The Tianhuang Palace, also known as the Imperial Palace, is equivalent to the Forbidden City in China. It is solemn and solemn and has many checkpoints.
However, with the Emperor's envoy leading the way, Xiao Chen and the three of them traveled smoothly.
Entering the imperial cabinet, a grand banquet is being planned here, like an ancient Chinese palace banquet, it is very lively.
"You know I'm here to cause trouble, but you're still willing to put in the trouble!" Xiao Chen joked.
Guan Yueqin felt uneasy in her heart. She frowned and said, "I'm afraid there is a murderous intention hidden behind this gorgeousness. Three days is enough for the Emperor to lay a dragnet."
"If not, it wouldn't be much fun!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
At this time, a heroic man in a yellow kimono, surrounded by several attendants, came to Xiao Chen and the others.
"Mr. Xiao, Guanyue Sect Master, I have admired you for a long time!" The heroic man had a kind and polite smile on his face, and seemed to be very approachable.
"Are you the Emperor of Japan?" Xiao Chen looked at the man, slightly surprised, and seemed to feel that it was a little different from what he imagined.
"Baga, how dare you disrespect the emperor?" Next to the man in kimono, a samurai wearing armor and a samurai sword on his waist shouted.
"General Yamakawa, there is no need to be nervous. Mr. Xiao is a powerful man in the world, so he is naturally arrogant. It is a private honor to invite him to the table today!" The emperor waved his hand and signaled the samurai to retreat.
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!" The samurai bowed very respectfully and then stepped away.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat. The banquet will begin soon!" The emperor made an invitation gesture.
"Okay, let's see what you have prepared for me?"
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry and sat on the seat.
Guanyue Qinxin and Xiao Yingxue did not sit down, but stood on either side of Xiao Chen, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Haha... Mr. Xiao, before the banquet begins, how about enjoying a dance performance?"
The emperor laughed and clapped his hands again.
Suddenly, a rain of cherry blossoms suddenly fell out of thin air in the middle of the banquet. In the beautiful scene, an enviable and unique figure danced gracefully and gracefully, like a dream.
"Oh?" Xiao Chen stared at the woman in the field with a hint of surprise.
"Familiar scent?" Guanyue Qinxin also stared at the woman, a trace of doubt flashing in her heart.
Xiao Yingxue did not stare at the woman on the field, but kept peeking around.
For some reason, the blood in her body was constantly surging, and the Demon Sword seemed to sense something and was about to move.
She is indeed here too!
The fateful showdown cannot be escaped after all!
…
Graceful dancing postures, charming appearance, and gentle Japanese-style tunes.
This dance is truly amazing.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think?" The emperor looked sideways at Xiao Chen.
"Not bad!" Xiao Chen commented lightly.
"Haha... As long as Mr. Xiao likes it!" the emperor said, shouting to the woman on the scene, "Kui'er, come here and meet Mr. Xiao."
After hearing the words, the woman stopped dancing, dragged her cherry blossom dress, and walked elegantly in front of the emperor. She bowed slightly to Xiao Chen and saluted, "Kui'er has met Mr. Xiao!"
When we danced before, we couldn't really see the woman's face clearly. Only now, at a close distance, we can really see her true face.
He is about the same age as Xiao Chen, and there is an indescribable aura about him, which is both the purity of a girl and the charm of a mature woman.
"Nice dance!" Xiao Chen praised.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Kui'er smiled charmingly, with a hint of blush on her face.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao, Kui'er is versatile and can do more than just dance!" the emperor laughed.
"What else can she do?" Xiao Chen asked along.
"fencing!"
"Swordsmanship?" Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Sword dancing is pretty good too!"
"Mr. Xiao, what you said is wrong, it's not sword dancing, it's real swordsmanship!"
"Real swordsmanship?"
"Yes!" the emperor said, looking at Kui'er.
Kui'er smiled and said to Xiao Chen: "I have always heard that Mr. Xiao's swordsmanship is unparalleled. Kui'er has practiced a set of swordsmanship. Please give me some advice!"
As soon as the words fell, Kui'er's momentum changed, and she stepped lightly on her toes, like a nimble swallow, and returned to the center of the field.
Keng!
Kwai'er raised her slender hand lightly, and a three-foot-long green edge suddenly appeared in Kui'er's hand, shining with unparalleled sharpness.
Immediately, she started practicing sword skills on the field.
Her swordsmanship seems slow, but actually contains a hint of sharpness.
"This is... the Phantom Sword Technique!" Guanyue Qinxin exclaimed in surprise, "Is she a descendant of the Sword Clan?"
"Sword Clan?" Xiao Chen looked at Guanyue Qinxin doubtfully.
"The Sword Clan is a family with an ancient heritage in Japan. Unfortunately, it died out more than a hundred years ago. How is it possible that there are still descendants of the Sword Clan in the world today?" Guan Yueqin couldn't believe it.
The original Sword Clan was a more mysterious and powerful existence than the Glazed Sword Sect.
"I remember that there was also a sword dance scene in Hongmen Banquet. Is this really a copy of the original version?" Xiao Chen said lightly.
At this time, Kui'er paused with the sword in her hand and said to Xiao Chen: "Mr. Xiao, what do you think of my swordsmanship?"
"It's okay!" Xiao Chen replied.
Kui'er chuckled and said: "I have heard that Mr. Xiao's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. I wonder if Kui'er can ask Mr. Xiao for some advice today?"
"I thought you were going to sneak attack me, after all, that's what was written in the Hongmen Banquet!" Xiao Chen pointedly said.
Kui'er was startled and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is joking, I just want to prove my swordsmanship!"
"Well..."
Xiao Chen was about to answer when Guanyue Qinxin suddenly jumped onto the stage and faced Kui'er.
"Master Guanyue Sect, what do you mean?" Kui'er asked.
"Although you are a descendant of the Sword Clan and can use the Phantom Sword Technique, you are only half a step into the legend. You are not qualified enough to let him take action. I will be your opponent!" Guanyue Qinxin said calmly.
"Master Guanyue Sect, are you sure?" Kui'er said with an inexplicable smile, "You are the most famous female swordsman in the world. If you lose at the hands of an unknown person like me, I'm afraid it will be disgraceful if the news spreads, right?"
"If you have the ability to defeat me, why should I care about a false reputation?" Guanyue Qin said calmly.
"Oh, okay then, I'll play with you first!"
Kui'er sighed slightly.
That way, it seems that he has no interest in Guan Yue Qin Xin at all.
