Being invited to a state banquet while living in the martial arts world is definitely an honor that many martial arts masters could not imagine in their dreams. Although Zhuo Mufeng was not in a good mood, he also felt a sense of curiosity and excitement.
The three masters of the palace looked at each other and smiled. Because of this incident and Le Qian's reason, the three of them all had a great impression of Zhuo Mufeng. They were afraid that Gongyang's behavior before entering would make Zhuo Mufeng depressed. Seeing that his eyebrows had improved, they all
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The master of the Red Fire Palace was strict by nature and had important matters to deal with, while the master of the White Water Palace was not good at talking and only liked to practice. The two elders left one after another, leaving behind the most talkative Le Qian.
The old guy dragged Zhuo Mufeng to the stone bench, took out several self-written music scores from his sleeves, and handed them to Zhuo Mufeng like a treasure, asking him to comment.
Zhuo Mufeng felt his head pounding. How could he understand this? Seeing Le Qian's expectant look and remembering the other party's previous defense, he read on and finally gave a thumbs up: "Le Qian's achievements are getting higher and higher.
."
Le Qian snorted: "I'm afraid you don't mean what you say!"
Yes, he saw that he was perfunctory. But before Zhuo Mufeng could explain, he saw Le Qian laughing: "Mu Feng's song "Xiaoyaoyouyou" makes people happy. A few months ago, I passed by Zhongzhou.
I met Feng Wu, the best singer in the world, and she was full of praise for this song. She also said that she wanted to meet the great talent who created this song!"
After saying that, he laughed.
Qin Xi on the side was surprised and said: "But that phoenix dance that captivates the city and the country?" Qin Keqing next to her also pricked up her ears.
Leqian laughed and said, "Who else could it be besides her?"
Regardless of the fact that these people present are famous in the world of martial arts, how many ordinary people know about them if they go beyond the realm of martial arts?
But Feng Wu was different. This girl made her debut at the age of fourteen and soon became famous all over the country. Her name was heard in the world, in the market, and even in the imperial court.
I heard that a few years ago when the Emperor of Zhongzhou celebrated his 60th birthday, Feng Wu even performed on the stage at the Zhongzhou Palace, astonishing all the royal relatives, senior officials and scribes present at the time.
Since then, Feng Wu's name has been spread throughout the five dynasties. Her beauty is also extraordinary, and she is ranked among the ten most beautiful women in the world. She is also known as the "Drunken Butterfly".
According to legend, many powerful people tried to succumb to her by various means, including a prince in Zhongzhou. However, Feng Wu was unmoved and sang "Not in Love with the Red World" at the Yuntai Tower in Zhongzhou.
” In response, he danced and then threw himself into the river.
After she was rescued, the Emperor of Zhongzhou was furious when he learned of this and personally gave her a four-character plaque with the words "Zhen Lie Wu Fang". From then on, no one in Zhongzhou dared to offend Feng Wu.
Such a strange woman, whom men desire but cannot get, and women idolize, actually praises Zhuo Mufeng as a great talent and still wants to see him?
For a moment, both Qin Xi and Qin Keqing looked strange.
Even Zhuo Mufeng touched his nose, feeling a little ashamed. He just plagiarized the music from his previous life. He didn't expect it would lead to such consequences, so he casually said: "Feng Wu, everyone is in Zhongzhou. In this life, I am afraid
It’s no coincidence that we met each other.”
"That's not necessarily the case."
Unexpectedly, Le Qian smiled and said mysteriously: "According to the news I got, as early as when the Northern Qi Crown Prince and his wife set off, the emperor had prepared a state banquet and invited everyone from Feng Wu to come and help with the ceremony. Now, everyone from Feng Wu
Just within the imperial city."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people were shocked.
…
In the southeast of the imperial city, there was a huge manor called "Yingke Courtyard". This was a place specially used by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty court to receive important foreign guests.
At this moment, several noble-looking and gorgeously dressed men and women came out with unsatisfied expressions on their faces.
"As expected of Master Feng Wu, this kind of woman is really rare to see in a hundred years."
"I pride myself on being used to beauties falling like fishes and geese, but when compared with Feng Wu and everyone else, I really am like a firefly to a bright moon."
"It's a pity that we only chatted for half an hour and didn't fully enjoy it."
The guards at the door recognized that these people were all descendants of the royal family. Although they were not from the line of the current emperor, they were of noble blood. How could anyone make them behave like this?
In an attic in the Yingke Villa, a young woman with stunning beauty and gorgeous clothes stood in front of the window, watching the group of people go away, with a trace of disdain flashing in her ethereal eyes.
She is none other than Feng Wu, the number one singer in the world who was famous in the five dynasties.
After closing the window, Feng Wu turned around and sat back on the chair. Behind the screen, an old woman in black slowly walked out. She had a cane in her hand, chicken skin and white hair, and her whole body was as powerful as an unfathomable abyss.
"Finally got rid of these annoying flies." Feng Wu took a sip of tea.
The old woman sat across from her, but her tone was not very good: "Holy girl, I have received news that the demon concubine has returned safely."
Feng Wu's beautiful eyes flashed, she raised her head in astonishment, and said in shock: "What do those people in Zhongzhou do for food?"
The old woman said: "I was fooled by Qi Yuanhao this time. I didn't expect that boy to be so cunning and willing to split up with the demon concubine. When Zhongzhou got the news, it could only temporarily mobilize troops."
Feng Wu put down the cup, her beautiful face covered with frost: "Aunt Lei, this time we must destroy the alliance between Northern Qi and Eastern Zhou, and then let Western Chu and Southern Wu attack Northern Qi. Only when the world is in chaos, will we have a chance."
If masters from the Dongfang family or even Zhuo Mufeng and others were here, they would definitely recognize that this old woman in black was the number one master of the Qingsha flow and the demon sect who had fought with Dongfang Changsheng in the Wanhua tomb.
Aunt Lei, one of the three customs.
Aunt Lei nodded and said coldly: "Saint, don't worry, although Qi Yuanhao and the demon concubine have returned, we are not without a chance. In five days' time, you will be invited to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty state banquet. All you need to do is do some tricks.
, let Qi Yuanhao die on the spot, and the alliance will be broken!"
Feng Wu was overjoyed and said, "Aunt Lei, please tell me more carefully."
So Aunt Lei explained the whole plan through sound transmission. After Feng Wu listened, a smile appeared on her face that made Baihua eclipse: "Aunt Lei still has a way, let's do it!"
After the two discussed the main things, Feng Wu suddenly remembered another thing and asked: "By the way, is the devil's seal missing?"
After leaving the Wanhua Tomb, they learned that the demon seal that could command the Qing Shaliu had fallen into the hands of others. The leader and even insiders like them stepped up their search in the world.
Mentioning this matter, Aunt Lei's expression returned to coldness and she sighed: "It's not easy in the vast sea of people and few clues."
The two fell silent.
…
Also in the Imperial City, there is another luxuriously decorated mansion. The plaque at the door clearly reads "Dongfang" in large gold letters. This is the branch of the Dongfang Family in the Imperial City.
In a room in the inner courtyard.
Dongfang Changkong, the third elder of the Dongfang family, was sitting on a chair, staring at the frightened Dongfang Lie expressionlessly.
"With such a thorough plan, and with the help of Zhongzhou masters, you actually failed?" Dongfang Changkong did not speak, but shouted through a message.
The shout was like thunder, making Dongfang Lie tremble all over. He still had the arrogance that he had when facing Zhuo Mufeng. He trembled and said: "Third Elder, my subordinates are not doing things well, please punish me."
"Punishment? Is punishment useful, or are you too old to dare to kill you?" Dongfang Changkong's face was filled with murderous intent, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
If he had not wanted to sit here and have his every move watched by all parties, he should have gone in person for this operation. But Dongfang Changkong thought that the preparations this time were so complete, it must be foolproof. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Lie's
If you have such poor abilities, you can do this and fail.
Dongfang Lie remained silent. He knew very well that this man's temper was extremely strong, so it was best not to get into trouble.
After calming down for a long time, Dongfang Changkong closed his eyes and said, "Tell me the details without hiding anything."
Dongfang Lie didn't dare to describe the situation at that time.
After learning that Yan Lun had practiced the method of destroying semen and self-extinguishing the Northern Qi royal family, Dongfang Changkong's expression changed slightly. When he heard that Zhuo Mufeng had intervened and caused the mission to fail, Dongfang Changkong suddenly opened his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "You
Defeated at the hands of a young boy?"
Dongfang Lie's face turned red with embarrassment, and he argued: "My subordinate was injured before, so he was taken advantage of by that kid."
Dongfang Changkong sneered, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "You didn't reveal your identity, did you?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Lie's hair stood up. He knew very well that once he admitted it, the old guy in front of him would not spare his life, whether it was for self-protection or for other reasons.
Fortunately, he was well prepared and had rehearsed many times in secret. He said without a beating heart or breath: "Third Elder, don't worry. Although that kid hurt his subordinates through conspiracy and tricks, he didn't take much advantage."
After staring at Dongfang Lie for a long time, just when Dongfang Lie was about to reveal his flaw, Dongfang Changkong snorted: "Do you know how serious the consequences of this failure are? Next, for the same purpose, I have to spend ten
Times the cost and risk!”
Dongfang Changkong probably never imagined that Dongfang Lie, who was always afraid of himself like a tiger, would deceive himself on such an important matter. He was too confident and thought that Dongfang Lie could not hide it from him.
Little did he know that Dongfang Lie's back was wet, secretly thinking it was a fluke, he cupped his fists and said: "Please Third Elder, please give me a chance to make amends. I will certainly live up to my trust this time."
"That's enough. You don't need to intervene in the next thing. You can go down." Dongfang Changkong waved his hands in disgust, not wanting to see this incompetent thing for the time being.
Dongfang Lie had no choice but to exit with a look of regret. When he walked outside the door, he let out a sigh of relief and finally passed the test.
But there is still one thing that must be dealt with, and that is to kill Zhuo Mufeng!
Dongfang Lie believed that Zhuo Mufeng did not dare to reveal his identity for the time being because the other party could not bear the revenge of the Dongfang Family. As long as he could kill the other party during this period, he would be able to sit back and relax.
However, the power of the Dongfang Family cannot be used in this matter, lest it be noticed by Dongfang Changkong and lead to unfounded speculation. Thinking of Feng Yulou from the Sifang Alliance, Dongfang Lie's eyes flashed with a stern look.
…
Since that day, Zhuo Mufeng has been staying in Songyayuan, either practicing or being dragged by Le Qian to play music every day. He also asked Le Qian if he had found out the identity of the person who intercepted and killed Su Zhilan.
, I always get a negative answer.
Zhuo Mufeng wanted to tell Dongfang Lie for a time, but finally kept his mouth shut. Because once it was known to Songya Yuefu and spread to the ears of the Dongfang family, he would eventually be traced.
Regardless of whether everyone else in the Dongfang Family is innocent, he, Zhuo Mufeng, will become the enemy of the Dongfang Family, so this card has not yet been revealed.
Seeing that the day for the palace banquet was approaching, that afternoon, Qin Keqing came to visit and told Zhuo Mufeng some great news.
