Chen Dong, Cui Yan, and Yan Ting sat opposite each other.
Not to mention three people, but six or eight people can still sit in the carriage.
The three of them were silent, but their minds were spinning rapidly.
In the introduction just now, Chen Dong already knew Cui Yan's identity and knew that he was the head of the "Cui family" of the upper three clans.
This undoubtedly surprised Chen Dong. After all, he had dealt with the Cui family when he was on earth. Cui Minggui died at the hands of Chen Dahong, and Cui Mengman married his junior brother Zhuo Yizhou. But in front of him
This man turned out to be Cui Mengman's great-great-great...grandfather.
He had so many people that we had to call him Cui Mengman’s ancestor.
This feeling is so amazing.
Naturally, Yan Ting was still wondering who Chen Dong was and why he was holding Yanzu's flowing jade sword. Only the royal children knew about this thing. What was Yanzu's purpose?
Cui Yanze glanced at Chen Dong from time to time. He came to assassinate Chen Dong, but now he didn't dare to do it easily, and secondly, he couldn't do it with Yan Ting by his side.
The three of them arrived at the gate of the Holy Palace in the same car but with different dreams.
…
A certain hall in the Holy Palace was naturally still filled with joy.
Everyone who should be there has arrived, and the hall is lively and peaceful. All the important people have appeared, and even the princes have rarely gathered together.
Yan Zu finally arrived belatedly.
"Haha, have you been waiting for a long time?" Yanzu walked in with a smile on his face.
Of course, everyone knelt down to salute and called for the Holy One.
"Everyone, get up. It's just a party, there are no need to follow so many rules!" Yan Zu waved his hand and walked directly to the first place in the middle.
Everyone also stood up and returned to their respective positions.
Yanzu sat down, glanced at him, and said strangely: "Hey, where is our protagonist?"
The protagonist is of course Chen Dong.
Chen Dong hasn't arrived yet.
The Supreme Protector hurriedly came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Chen Dong is delayed by something, he will be there soon."
Yanzu's face suddenly became slightly displeased. He deliberately arrived at the end of the day just to give everyone more time, but someone actually arrived later than him, and this person was the protagonist tonight!
I just won the championship, I just became the commander-in-chief, and now I’m in a state of decline?
The Supreme Protector was also very anxious. He originally thought that Chen Dong would arrive soon, but it has been delayed until now, and even he himself was speechless.
Gong Yongnian, the Qu family, and the Luo family were silent, but in fact they were sneering inwardly, because they knew that Chen Dong would never come!
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps and someone walked in. It was Chen Dong, Cui Yan and the eldest prince Yan Ting.
"Greetings to the Holy One!"
"Meet my father!"
The three of them knelt down and saluted together.
Seeing Chen Dong, the Supreme Protector was filled with joy: "Ancestor, you are finally here!"
Yan Zu also looked puzzled: "Hey, why are you here together?"
Yan Ting raised his head and replied: "Back to my father, Marshal Chen hasn't bathed for seven days. I have people help him bathe and change clothes, so as not to irritate everyone at the celebration banquet!"
Everyone was amused by Yan Ting's humor and fun.
Yanzu also smiled and said: "You should think carefully..."
Then he asked: "Master Cui, aren't you the one who serves Marshal Chen to take a bath?"
Cui Yan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I saw Marshal Chen hadn't come for a long time, so I looked for him on the way here and happened to meet him and the eldest prince."
Everyone laughed again.
Gong Yongnian, the head of the Qu family, and the head of the Luo family looked at each other, and then they understood why Cui Yan didn't take action.
After figuring out the matter, Yan Zu naturally stopped being angry and asked everyone to find their seats and sit down. He then picked up a glass of wine and said, "Come, drink to our Marshal Chen, and wish him smooth sailing in his future journey to slay demons in the south!"
"
Everyone also raised their glasses.
Yanzu and everyone drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then entered the free drinking session. There was an endless stream of people who came to Chen Dong to clink glasses, and there were also singing and dancing performances interspersed from time to time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gong Yongnian, the head of the Luo family, and the head of the Qu family would of course ask Cui Yan what was going on.
Cui Yan then told his own experience.
Of course, everyone was surprised and wondered if Cui Yan had seen it wrong. How could the eldest prince kneel down to Chen Dong?
"It's absolutely true. I read it correctly. The eldest prince knelt in front of Chen Dong."
Although what Cui Yan said was conclusive, several others still couldn't believe it because it sounded so absurd.
What is Yan Ting's identity, and what is Chen Dong's identity? How could the former kneel down to the latter?
"You said that the eldest prince acted more enthusiastically in order to win over Chen Dong. I still believe this..."
"Yes, it is absolutely impossible to kneel down in front of Chen Dong."
"Master Cui, you must have seen it wrong."
Several people were saying this one after another, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Cui Yan also suspected that he had seen it wrong. Maybe the eldest prince just squatted down to pick something up?
"Master Cui, if you don't dare to kill Chen Dong, you can withdraw from this small circle..." Gong Yongnian shook his head and said.
"Who says I don't dare to kill him? The eldest prince is here..." Cui Yan said, squeezing his neck.
The other side.
The eldest prince Yan Ting, who was sitting on the side of Yanzu, still looked at Chen Dong from time to time. He was still thinking about the origin of the flowing jade sword, but he didn't have the courage to ask Yanzu.
At this moment, a figure walked towards Chen Dong.
It’s the second prince Yan Heng!
"Commander Chen, congratulations on winning the Yanwu Cup!" Yan Heng said with a smile and raised his glass to Chen Dong.
"Second Prince, you're welcome." Chen Dong stood up and offered a toast in return.
When Yan Ting saw this, of course he was not willing to lag behind, and also took a glass of wine and walked towards Chen Dong.
"Chen Marshal, I'll have a drink with you too." Yan Ting also smiled.
When the other princes saw this, they naturally followed suit and gathered around to offer a toast.
"Haha, I have known Marshal Chen longer than you!" Third Prince Yanji said proudly, "I even knelt down for him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around, and everyone looked at Yan Ji in surprise.
Yan Ting and Yan Heng were even more stunned.
Even Yan Zu said strangely: "Lao San, you must have drunk too much. Why are you kneeling down to Chen Dong?"
Yan Ji turned around and said seriously: "Father, I didn't drink too much. Didn't you give Chen Dong a flowing jade sword before? As soon as I saw the sword, I knelt down for him!"
Although Yan Ting and Yan Heng did not speak, they both nodded inwardly.
Yan Zu patted his forehead and said, "It's like this. It happened a long time ago..."
Then, Yan Zu said to Chen Dong: "You should have used up that flowing jade sword, right?"
"Yes, I'm done."
Chen Dong took out the Liuyu Sword and came to Yanzu respectfully.
Offer it with both hands.
Yanzu took the sword and put it into the storage ring.
Most people didn't see clearly what the sword looked like, but they could guess that it was something personal to Yan Zu, otherwise the third prince wouldn't have knelt down.
At this moment, Chen Dong could clearly feel that the eyes of the eldest prince and the second prince had changed when they looked at him.
Chen Dong knew that without this thing, there would be trouble in the future.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Holy Lord, I have used it up this time. If I have something to do next time, I will still have to trouble you..."
Yanzu smiled and said, "Okay!"
All the princes were confused after hearing this, but no one dared to look down upon Chen Dong.
And this is exactly Chen Dong's purpose.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to be ridden on the head by a group of princes all day long.
The banquet continues.
Yan Zu dragged Chen Dong to his side to drink.
"After the celebration banquet is over, you should quickly return to Qingyun Temple." Yanzu said, "Have done all the things that need to be done, and then go to each sect, each family and tribe to select people, and strive to gather ten people within a month.
Thousands of people! Before you go to the south, come to me again, and I will tell you good news..."
Chen Dong asked in confusion: "What's the good news?"
An unpredictable smile appeared on Yanzu's face again: "I can't tell you now because I'm afraid you'll be distracted. I'll tell you when you get here, and I guarantee you will jump up with joy..."
Chen Dong was still confused. He didn't know what kind of good news could make him jump with joy.
Unless Yan Zu can bring Xiao Xiao out!
Of course, if Yanzu didn't tell him, it would be inconvenient for Chen Dong to ask again.
The other side.
Gong Yongnian and the other three family heads were still muttering.
"It turns out that the eldest prince knelt down to Chen Dong because of that sword!"
"That is the personal belonging of Ancestor Yan, equivalent to Shang Fang's sword."
"Now that Yan Zu has taken it back, why is Chen Dong still so crazy?"
Gong Yongnian took a breath and said in a low voice: "Three family heads, I won't say any more unnecessary nonsense. There is still one last chance to kill Chen Dong... When the celebration banquet is over and Chen Dong returns to Qingyun Temple,
Let’s attack him on the road!”
…
At midnight, the celebration banquet finally ended.
Although Chen Dong and the Supreme Protector both drank a lot, it did not stop them from going on their way.
The two of them rode a carriage, and after leaving the city gate, they immediately flew up and headed towards Qingyun Temple.
As soon as they left, Gong Yongnian and the three family heads also arrived at the city gate.
"Three heads of the family, please take care of me next." Gong Yongnian said with a sincere face.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." The three people left the city gate and quickly flew up.
The three of them wrapped their faces in black cloth while flying.
"Master Qu, Master Luo, please lure the guardian away in a moment. Remember not to let him see through your identity... Let me take care of that guy Chen Dong," Cui Yan said.
"It's okay to lure the guardian away, and it's okay for you to kill Chen Dong, but the three of us did it together. Just don't show yourself off to President Gong later." The head of the Qu family sneered.
"How could I do such a thing..." Cui Yan smiled awkwardly.
"Pull him down, you have done this kind of thing often!" The head of the Luo family also complained mercilessly.
After hundreds of years of living together, who doesn’t understand whom?
Under the boundless starry sky, the three of them kept flying forward, urgently chasing Chen Dong and the Supreme Protector.
Flying, the three of them suddenly stopped, looking ahead and to the left and right, their expressions became solemn.
