At Youshi, there was really a lot of traffic and excitement in front of the residence where Li Chao was staying.
Officials invited by Prime Minister Lu to accompany him came one after another. A total of more than 20 civil and military officials were invited, all of whom were high-ranking officials in the DPRK.
These officials came on horseback, on a bridge, or in a car, surrounded by their respective escorts. The Prime Minister's Mansion Manager and Lu Ba greeted them at the door. Then someone was responsible for leading these officials to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the guests were chatting and laughing, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
There was a couple in the living room and a group of musicians.
Waiting for the banquet to start playing music to add to the fun.
Prime Minister Lu personally introduced the officials who came to Li Chao. Li Chao exchanged perfunctory greetings with them. All the officials also showed respect and enthusiasm for Li Chao.
However, although many officials were smiling and saying polite words, they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts. Some even wanted to stab Li Chao twice to satisfy their hatred.
Qin Dingfang has always been by Li Chao's side.
Qin Dingfang changed into an ordinary mask.
Although he was still wearing men's clothes, Qin Dingfang's skin was delicate and fair, and his figure was slim. Everyone present thought Qin Dingfang was a woman.
Qin Dingfang's red eyes, whose eyes and pupils were almost indistinguishable, frightened the officials. Especially the civil servants, who felt that Qin Dingfang's red eyes were like a monster, which made people feel scared and panicked.
Li Chao told everyone that Qin Dingfang was the "Fairy Fei Ling" from Lingding Mountain in the Western Regions. She was his personal guard. Because "Fairy Fei Ling" practiced a special miraculous skill, his eyes were gleaming red, so that everyone did not have to be suspicious.
.
Shangguan Minghong and several military generals with strong martial arts knew in their hearts that people with such terrifying pupils also had very terrifying martial arts skills.
Mr. Lu knew very well that the reason why this "Fairy Fei Ling" had a pair of heart-stopping blood pupils was because she had practiced the "Blood Demon Technique".
But Mr. Lu remained silent.
There are many things that Prime Minister Lu doesn't say, ask, or investigate, but he understands them better than anyone else.
Qin Dingfang allowed Li Chao to introduce him without saying a word. At most he just nodded. He said that every time Li Chao said the words "Fairy Feiling", Qin Dingfang would have the urge to kill someone.
Everyone has arrived and the banquet has begun.
Prime Minister Lu, Shangguan Minghong, Li Chao, and three important officials sat at the main table.
Among them were two officials from the Western Regions.
Prime Minister Lu and Li Chao sat side by side.
On the other side of Prime Minister Lu is Shangguan Minghong.
The current role of Qin Dingfang, the "Fairy Fei Ling", is the personal bodyguard of King Ling, so he has no role to play at the table and can only stand behind Li Chao.
They sat down, and then the rest of the palace staff sat down on the other three tables.
Then many beautiful maids brought wine and food to the table. Soon, several tables were filled with delicacies and fine wines. The banquet hall was also filled with all kinds of tempting aromas.
Prime Minister Lu stood up first and delivered a speech, saying some high-sounding words. Then everyone had a drink together, and the banquet officially began.
The music to add to the fun also started.
Several beautiful girls also began to dance.
The dances are graceful, the music is ringing, the aroma of wine and meat is overflowing, and the guests are laughing and laughing. It is really a scene of singing and dancing. It is also intoxicating.
At this time, Shangguan Minghong stood up with a glass of wine and a smile on his face.
Now Shangguan Minghong is the leader of the Five Tiger Generals. Not only does he hold a large number of troops, but he also responds to hundreds of calls in the court. His power is greater than that of Feng Liancheng back then.
It can be said that the scenery is unparalleled.
Shangguan Minghong was actually the biggest winner in the Phoenix killing incident.
Shangguan Minghong didn't have any good feelings towards Li Chao. It could be said that he still harbored old grudges. Shangguan Minghong was actually the one who took the lead in the battle. But he had selfish motives in doing so. He wanted to use the method of Feng Liancheng to kidnap the imperial court through war and keep asking for money.
The soldiers were provided with food for a long time, which also made the court and the emperor inseparable from him. In addition, he dealt with the Tibetans and then recommended his trusted general Jiang Feng to take charge of affairs in the Western Regions. By then, the two of them could control half of the military power and war resources in the court. This also expanded their power.
.
In that case, Prime Minister Lu would be unable to do anything to him.
In the battle between generals and generals, he will be the winner in the end.
Human desires continue to expand with continuous acquisition.
Today, Shangguan Minghong is becoming more and more ambitious, and his ambitions are very great.
But unexpectedly, Prime Minister Lu insisted on persuading the emperor to negotiate an alliance with the Western Regions, which made Shangguan Minghong's wishful thinking come to nothing. This made Shangguan Minghong very angry.
But now he has to show off.
Shangguan Minghong smiled at Li Chao and said: "Haha, Prince Ling, you and I fought fiercely back then, and today we share a table and drink together, so there is no eternal rival. And in my heart, I even admire Prince Ling. We will be friends from now on. .This is called no acquaintance without fighting. Come, let me offer a toast to King Ling."
Back then, the Li Dynasty defeated Fengxiang, so he also had resentment towards Shangguan Minghong. But the situation is different now. After all, Shangguan Minghong is not an ordinary figure in the court.
Li Chao stood up and said: "General Shangguan, when you defended Fengxiang under my continuous attack, the general is truly worthy of being a famous general of his generation. It also makes me admire the general greatly. The past has passed, and now we are friends. "
The two of them finished their drinks while talking insincere social remarks.
Then some officials also brought wine to the table one after another to toast Li Chao.
These officials showed such enthusiasm because Prime Minister Lu had said hello in advance, just to give Li Chao face and to make Li Chao happy.
This will make it easier for Prime Minister Lu to bargain with Li Chao.
Li Chao was a good drinker, but now that these officials were so enthusiastic about him, Li Chao couldn't help but feel a little carried away. So he didn't refuse anyone who came, and drank all the toasts.
Qin Dingfang stood behind Li Chao, looking at the satisfied Li Chao, feeling very jealous in his heart.
But standing behind Li Chao, he felt like a fool.
Qin Dingfang regretted agreeing to Li Chao's banquet.
Qin Dingfang also secretly observed Lu Xiang.
When Qin Dingfang met Prime Minister Lu for the first time, he just felt that Prime Minister Lu was too arrogant and difficult to get close to. He also felt that he had a disdain for people in the world.
Nowadays, Qin Dingfang has transformed, and his acuity is not what it used to be. Qin Dingfang has a feeling that Prime Minister Lu is more unfathomable than he imagined.
Standing behind Xiang Lu, he could feel an indescribable invisible energy on Lu Xiang's body. This invisible energy was hidden in the air and could explode at any time.
To have such an aura without using internal energy is not something ordinary people can do.
While everyone was drinking and having fun, suddenly someone shouted loudly outside the hall.
"The golden-faced guard has arrived!"
This shout stunned all the officials in the hall, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
The officials looked at each other.
Why did the golden-faced guard appear again?
Even Prime Minister Lu and Feng Liancheng were confused.
Li Chao and officials from the Western Regions, including Qin Dingfang, were even more confused.
What is the official title of this golden-faced guard? Who is he?
Following the shouts, several majestic gold-belted guards entered the banquet hall first. Then they separated on both sides of the hall door.
Then the mysterious and noble gold-faced guards wearing gold masks walked into the hall.
Of course, this person is Lin Yi.
Behind Lin Yi was Qing Hong, the commander of the Nighthawk Guards, and two gold-belted guards.
