In order to celebrate the successful resolution of the southern plague, the emperor will hold a grand banquet in the palace to entertain the heroes. During this period, a general amnesty will be held for the whole world and a three-day National Day...
The news spread across the country like the wind overnight, causing a huge sensation. Countless people cheered and flocked to Kyoto in large numbers. For a time, Kyoto was full of people and bustling.
Especially, when it was known that the legendary scholar Baixiao was among those invited to the banquet, the number of people entering the city continued to increase.
The news spread from nowhere that Scholar Baixiao was in the Tianzi Room of Yuelai Inn. Therefore, a large number of people gathered at the door of Yuelai Inn just to have a look at Scholar Baixiao.
Because they were afraid that the crowd would disturb Scholar Baixiao and others, the palace specially sent thousands of soldiers to encircle a road between Yuelai Inn and the palace.
Early the next morning, as the eunuchs and guards arrived to greet them, Scholar Baixiao and others who had been prepared followed the eunuchs out of Yuelai Inn and walked towards the palace.
As soon as they walked out of the door of Yuelai Inn, they were greeted by thunderous cheers, calling Scholar Baixiao's name. People rushed to get one more look at Scholar Baixiao.
This really shocked everyone. Xiaojia covered her little mouth that was beating slightly and muttered: "I didn't expect this stinky fortune teller to be so popular. I'd better avoid messing with him in the future."
Tang Youer was not surprised at all, and said to Xiaojia: "Mr. Bai Xiao has long been a god-like existence in the hearts of the people. Don't feel strange. When you understand what Mr. Bai Xiao has done before, you won't feel strange anymore."
Already."
Guan Gu Shenji nodded thoughtfully and said: "In Japan, Mr. Baixiao is also very popular, and it is the same now. You can hear his legend everywhere. If father knows about Mr. Baixiao,
If you are by my side, you will be very happy."
In response to the enthusiasm of the crowd, Scholar Baixiao smiled brightly and waved from time to time without any panic.
Not long after, the group of people arrived at the palace, and after entering the palace, the noisy scene calmed down.
The banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When Scholar Baixiao and others arrived, Emperor Zhu Di and some civil and military officials were already waiting at the entrance of the palace.
Seeing the arrival of scholar Baixiao, Zhu Di immediately stepped forward and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Mr. Baixiao is really worthy of being a god. Southern Plague
Thank you for your hard work regarding the epidemic."
Scholar Baixiao bowed his head slightly as a salute, and then said, "Your Majesty is just joking. For the sake of the people, there is no need to say hard work."
"Okay...ok...come on, take a seat..." Zhu Di said with a smile.
At this time, Zhu Di saw Guan Gu Shenji and Xiao Tao. He couldn't help but look at Scholar Baixiao in confusion and asked: "Mr. Baixiao, I wonder who these two are?"
According to Zhu Di's investigative information, there were only two women and one man accompanying Baixiao scholar, namely Xiaojia, Tang Youer and Lu Bubai. Therefore, Zhu Di only prepared four seats in addition to the seats for civil and military officials, but this was two more seats.
Personally, Zhu Di was caught off guard.
Scholar Baixiao said: "These two are friends I met on the road. It won't be a bother to add two more seats."
"No trouble, no trouble, I'll make arrangements right away," Zhu Dilian said.
Immediately, Zhu Di gave up the seats of the two officials to Xiaotao and Guangu Shenji, and changed their positions to the Baixiao scholar row.
Zhu Di sat at the front, Scholar Baixiao and others sat in the left row, and the civil and military officials sat in the right row.
With a wave of his hand from Zhu Di, who was sitting at the head of the table, the banquet officially began. Soon, waiters served a variety of food and wine, filling the entire table.
Beautiful and moving music was playing, and a group of dancers with voluptuous figures and gorgeous looks came to the middle stage and danced to the music, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Hahaha, Mr. Baixiao and all the heroes, come and try this country's special wine, which is not available in the Central Plains." Zhu Di raised his wine glass, looked at Scholar Baixiao and said with a smile.
The wine in Zhu Di's mouth is naturally "dream". He spent a lot of money to entertain Baixiao scholar and others. As for the other civil and military officials, it was just some high-end wine.
The stock of "Dream" was already small, and I originally prepared only four pots, but I didn't expect that Xiao Tao and Guangu Miracle would be added, so I ordered two more pots, and the amount that came out was almost nine out of ten. In fact,
It made Zhu Di feel extremely painful.
As early as when "Meng" was put on the table, Scholar Baixiao and others smelled the special fragrance and knew that it was a pot of good wine. However, no one poured the wine. At the same time, Lu Bubai, Xiaojia, etc.
The person looked at Tang Youer.
After all, we already knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, so who knew if there was poison in the wine.
Tang You'er picked up the wine pot, poured a glass, picked up the wine glass, sniffed it gently, looked at everyone and nodded silently, then drank it all in one sip.
When the others saw this, they felt relieved, poured the wine and drank it all.
"Dream" was something that even Commander Xiu was very impressed with. He was addicted to the wine for a while. Naturally, Scholar Baixiao and others were too, but it was only for a while. Lu Bubai and Guanggu Miracle recovered first and even praised the good wine.
, and then poured another glass.
After Xiaojia recovered, her strange eyes blinked, hinting that the remaining stock in the palace was about to disappear.
The banquet came to an end in a joyful atmosphere, and the pot of "Dream" was quickly finished. However, apart from the first cup, Baixiao scholar did not move anymore. Instead, he kept talking with Zhu Di, making Zhu Di laugh from time to time.
laughing out loud.
As for Scholar Baixiao's pot of "dream", Xiaojia took it away, but he didn't drink it, but put it into a treasure bag.
"Haha, it's true that heroes come from young, and we are really lucky to have all the heroes in the Central Plains." Scholar Baixiao briefly introduced some situations of Lu Bubai and other five people to Zhu Di, which made Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh.
The beautiful music slowly stopped, and the dancers also left one after another, indicating that the banquet was over. However, the civil and military officials seemed to be leaving with them, but in fact they were vaguely surrounding Scholar Baixiao and others.
Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a large number of guards began to gather on all sides, with hundreds of people on each side. These guards were all at the peak of the Earth Realm. There were four in the lead. The faint leakage of power exposed their strength, the Heaven Realm!
This was already the strongest power of the Tang Dynasty. They waited quietly without making any sound.
These movements were naturally not enough to satisfy Scholar Baixiao and others. They did not speak, but all stood up slowly.
When Zhu Di saw this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone, are you planning to leave?"
"Your Majesty, this farce ends here, let them come out." Scholar Baixiao said, his words full of disappointment for Zhu Di.
"This..." Zhu Di was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Scholar Baixiao shook his head, stopped looking at him, looked to the side, and said, "Since you are here, please show up. Are the people in the outside world just a bunch of rats hiding their heads and showing their tails?"
Although the voice was not loud, it seemed to have a special magic power that made everyone hear it clearly.
"Haha, I am worthy of being a Baixiao scholar. I can't satisfy you..." A soft laugh sounded, and then a black light suddenly appeared not far away...
