Since it was hosted by Ning Qingyu, the most favored concubine of the dynasty, it had to be grand.
Rumor has it that when King Yan consecrates Ning Qingyu in Yueshan, he will make Ning Qingyu the new queen.
So this banquet attracted even more people.
This banquet was not just an impromptu idea of Ning Qingyu, just for Tang Xixi and Lin Mu to meet each other. She had already made preparations for this.
The storm has arisen in the Lingwu Continent, demons are coming, and the masters of the Martial God World will also be projected here, and some may even have come secretly.
What Ning Qingyu has to do is to lift the veil with her own hands. Instead of passively waiting for chaos to come, it is better to take the initiative in her hands.
The next morning, many forces began to prepare for the dinner.
As if this day was not lively enough, at noon, an imperial edict came out of the palace.
"Lin Mu, the former Viscount of Xichuan City, was treasonous and immoral. He colluded with the devil and murdered the eldest princess of the dynasty. Now he declares Lin Mu a traitor and Xichuan City a rebel. After Yueshan is enshrined, the imperial court will send troops to Xichuan City to put an end to the rebellion."
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the whole country was in an uproar again, and Yanjing was even more uproar.
Although the rumors said that King Yan colluded with the devil to besiege and kill Lin Mu, in fact, many people in the Yan Kingdom still did not believe it.
Now, the content of this imperial edict has further confused the public.
Especially in Yanjing, the prestige of King Yan is extremely high, and most people do not believe that King Yan will collude with the devil, thinking that Lin Mu is deliberately spreading rumors.
Before you know it, night falls.
Yanjing, like a woman who puts on pajamas, becomes lazy and charming.
That night, other places seemed to have become quiet, and countless eyes were focused on the palace.
At dusk, there was an endless stream of traffic heading to the palace.
Among the traffic, there were ladies and children from all the prominent families and powerful families in Yanjing.
Royal Garden.
Beside a fountain.
Several young men formed a circle and gathered there.
All around, countless people surrounded them, with awe on their faces to please them.
"I just said, how could King Yan collude with the devil to surround and kill Lin Mu? Now the truth is revealed."
One of the young men with triangular eyes said.
"This is the second son of the imperial censor, Xiao Linying."
"He is also very talented. He is the most talented child of the Xiao family. He is only twenty-three years old, but he is already a master of the martial arts. That's why the Xiao family sent him to attend this banquet."
Many people present were paying attention to this young man with triangular eyes. The imperial censor made laws and implemented government orders. He was the minister with real power and was their father's immediate boss.
"This Lin Mu is a real traitor. I think it must be the rumor he sent to spread. The thief there shouted to catch the thief. He clearly colluded with the devil, but he came to slander King Yan."
Another young man with extraordinary aura spoke up.
"Huo Yang, the son of Huo Meng, the general in charge of the court!"
"He is even more talented, a twenty-two-year-old peak martial artist."
People were secretly frightened again.
General Zhonglang, who commands the emperor's attendants and close associates of the emperor, who can not be afraid of him?
This banquet was truly a gathering of events, and all the top family members from Yanjing were present.
"Lin Mu? Even though he has some talent, is he worthy of King Yan arranging people to ambush and kill him?"
Soon, Zuo Duting, the son of the commander of the Imperial Guard, also sneered.
"Hahaha, it's really funny. This Lin Mu brags and doesn't write a draft. Do you think he is the Supreme? Even the five great martial saints surrounded him and killed them all. I have never seen such a shameless and extremely hypocritical person.
"
Lang Yuan, the son of the Minister of Rites, laughed mockingly.
"Zuo Duting and Lang Yuan are two other disciples of the world who are usually aloof."
"They are equally talented. One is a twenty-five-year-old martial arts master, and the other is a twenty-one-year-old martial arts master."
Seeing these people, some of the children from aristocratic families who usually boasted that Beijing was extraordinary and very arrogant, became restrained and low-key. They knew that they could be arrogant at ordinary times, but in this banquet, they were definitely not the protagonists.
While these people were discussing, an ordinary-looking young man not far away wondered: "Why do these people sound more awesome than the other? It's just that they hate Lin Mu, but how come their tone makes people think that they are just random people?"
Can you stab Lin Mu to death with just one finger?"
"Huh, the vanity in their bones is on the one hand, and more importantly, their glory comes from their father, and their father's power comes from King Yan. They are all vested interests, and naturally they don't want to see it.
Someone comes to provoke King Yan and affect their interests."
A low hum of disdain sounded from the side.
"Oh? Your Excellency?"
The ordinary-looking boy looked to the side curiously, where a well-appearing young man sat.
"You don't know me?"
The young man said in surprise.
"Are you famous?"
The ordinary boy blinked.
"You are quite interesting."
The young man drank heavily, not as if he was attending a banquet to attract attention, but more as if he was here to drown his sorrows.
After drinking the whole bottle of wine, he said to the ordinary boy: "Of course I am famous, but I am just a famous unlucky guy."
"Oh? Then I'd really like to hear it."
An ordinary boy smiles.
"I have nothing to do anyway, and it's not a secret, so it doesn't hurt if I tell you."
The young man laughed at himself, "My name is Xu Guang, and I serve in the Forbidden Army. Two years ago, I was still the deputy commander, but later I was pretended to be the commander because of my brother Wu Yue's merits. I refused to accept it and had a conflict with Yin Siyuan, another powerful figure at the time. No.
Thinking about it, Yin Siyuan fell after the conflict, and behind Yin Siyuan stood the third prince and the imperial army who led the Zuo Tian Dynasty."
"They are angry and useless, so I am unlucky. In just two years, I was demoted from the fourth rank deputy commander to the fifth rank thousand households, and then from the fifth rank thousand households to the sixth rank 100 households. And just last month
, the third prince’s legs were crippled, and he took it out on me again, now I’m in the seventh rank and tenth household.”
The ordinary young man couldn't help but look surprised after hearing this: "So you are the Xu Guang who was falsely claimed because of his brother Wu Yue's merits and couldn't bear to stand out. I didn't expect you to be so miserable. Where is your brother Wu Yue?"
"Wu Yue?"
Xu Guang's face showed self-mockery, "He is even worse off than me, and he is still doing hard labor in the frontier."
"how so?"
The ordinary young man said in surprise, "Now that the whole world knows about Wu Yue's meritorious service against the barbarians, why does the imperial court still allow him to serve in the frontier?"
"With credit?"
Xu Guang drank again and said, "No matter how meritorious you are, what good will happen if you offend the powerful? Now the court seems to have forgotten such a person at all. I have written to remonstrate several times, but every time it is like mud sinking into the sea, there is no trace at all."
sound."
"Forget it, don't talk about these spoilers, what's your name, little brother?"
The ordinary boy chuckled: "My name is Niu Youlin."
"Niu Youlin? A very peculiar name."
Xu Guang said, "I'm drunk today. Do you want to drink with me?"
"Forget it, I get drunk whenever I touch alcohol."
Niu Youlin is Lin Mu, so he did not come to this banquet just for drinking.
