Chapter 240 [The Longest Night ([-])]

August fifteen.

At the beginning of Xu Shi.

The full moon is in the sky.

Han Yudian.

The emperor's banquet extended from the main hall to the steps outside the palace. All kinds of delicacies and fine wines were moved up like flowing water, and matched with the moonlight in the sky, shining on those who had been poured into the white jade cups. On top of the fine wine, the whole wine glass glowed with a warm glow, and with the indistinct movements flowing from the fingertips of the national players who were playing various instruments on both sides of the main hall, along with the hanging The lights reflected by the palace lanterns on the eaves and beams shuttle through the palace covered with frosty and snowy curtains made up of the delicate wrists of the maids. The ministers are talking in low voices, but the tone is always elegant. The supervisor was in charge of serving the food and wine, following the strict court rules, and a majestic aura that only belonged to the royal family rushed towards his face.

"The emperor is here!" A voice that gradually expanded from a far distance came along with the night.

The emperor is finally here.

The ministers standing aside chatting in twos and threes immediately stood in line, welcoming the emperor's arrival.

Today's Emperor Chicheng is red-faced, and he looks heroic in ordinary clothes. With the eunuch leading the way, he finally steps to the front of the Hanyu Hall. Behind him are His Royal Highness Chen Yazi and the three most favored by him. The prince Chen Xiaofeng, followed by some other children.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Under the guidance of the inner eunuch, the courtiers saluted.

Emperor Chicheng smiled, and said very casually: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, so don't be restrained, and the big gift will be waived, let's take a seat."

He said that he walked towards the main seat in the palace first, followed by the crown prince and the third prince, until the emperor and most of the princes and princesses were seated, the ministers were led by the old prime minister Yuan Bailu one by one according to their ranks. Take a seat.

"Everyone, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night. We were supposed to have a family reunion, but I have selfish motives and brought you all to drink with our family. You don't blame me?" Emperor Chicheng is really in a good mood today, which is rare Talking and laughing, he was not as serious as usual when he went to court.

"I dare not wait." The old prime minister still takes the lead. At this time, of course, he can only say that he dare not. Whoever dares to say that the emperor is wrong, isn't that courting death?
"Why don't you dare, you guys, you must have already slapped me with blood in your heart. Come on, I will toast you a cup as an apology!" The emperor picked up a special dragon head moonlight cup and pointed it at everyone. The minister said.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince also raised their glasses, followed by the princes and daughters.

Of course, the minister hesitated for a while before he dared to raise his glass.

After a while of drinking, they toasted in turn according to their status.

On the civil servant's side, the old prime minister Yuan Bailu naturally took the lead in toasting. On the military minister's side, because the first military minister, the Great General Wang, did not come back from the frontier, another general led it on his behalf.

"Everyone, tonight is really a good show, not only the singing and dancing talents presented by various families, but also the duel between the two most outstanding young warriors in the Forbidden City, which is unprecedented. To be lucky enough to meet you is not in vain for what happened tonight." The emperor was even more joyful after drinking the wine, "But because Gu Yue'an and Cui Li made an appointment, it will only start at a quarter of the clock, so we still have It's time, let's take a look at the singing and dancing talents of each family, come, let's play music and start the banquet."

Following the emperor's order, finally, this royal banquet officially began.

------------

at the same time.

Just when the emperor had a big banquet for his ministers, it was the time when the wine was hot everywhere in the capital.

Because Gu Yue'an had announced the specific details of the duel a few days ago, everyone knew when it would start and how the duel would be communicated to the people in the capital.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng must be entrusted to him. The main restaurants and teahouses in the capital have all reached cooperation with Bai Xiaosheng. When the duel begins, they will also get a piece of first-hand information, and the speed will only be faster than that of the palace. As for other smaller places, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

So many people simply drink first, so as not to lose money when they get it, and they don't even drink enough, then the gain outweighs the loss.

But if you drink too much, accidents are easy to happen, especially now that the capital is full of martial arts people from other places, all of them armed with guns and sticks, and if one is not good, there will be conflicts, especially after drinking.

Therefore, the defense of the capital is very tense tonight. More than half of the Jinwu Guard's manpower is used to disperse in the key positions of the city to deal with emergencies at any time. In a place full of restaurants and teahouses, there are still not enough manpower to deal with some small situations, so that they have to send reinforcements with Qinglong Division to supplement the patrol force.

That is to say, the actual defense force of the capital tonight is extremely weak. If it wasn't for this place, it would be an important place for the country's capital. In the current era, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, with no internal troubles and no foreign enemies. Such a setup is extremely dangerous.

The second quarter of the first day of the Xu Dynasty.

Ye Mo, the seventh guard of the Qinglong Division, personally led people to patrol the streets. Unlike other guards in the Qinglong Division, as the seventh guard who was used to carry out various trivial field work all the year round, and served as half of the capital's patrol force, this temporary It is not the first time to be seconded, or even to go shopping on the street.

Compared with the sighs and sighs of the other guards, Ye Mo, as the head of the seventh guard, is already at ease, even practice makes perfect.

"My lord, why do you think we are so unlucky? We don't have all the good things, and we are the ones who do the bad things. Think about those bastards with one guard, two guards and three guards. Now we may not know which corner of the palace is popular and hot. We It's really not reconciled to have to blow the cold wind here!" Ye Mo enjoyed it so much, but Xiaoqi Lu Wu behind him couldn't bear it.

Of the seven guards of Qinglong Division, the upper three guards only deal with core secrets all the year round, and the lower four guards each have their own divisions. Tonight is of great importance. The upper three guards are naturally responsible for guarding the palace, and the other four guards can only drink wind on the street.

"Okay, Lu Wu, if you don't accept it, hurry up and climb up. When you climb to Shangsanwei, you can go to the palace to eat and drink spicy food. Remember to give me a hand." Ye Mo walked forward with his head in his hands. He said casually.

"Hey, it's hard, who knows when the first day will be." Lu Wu sighed, and suddenly looked around miserably, and said, "My lord, why don't we slip away? Anyway, there are so many other brothers watching tonight." Come on, it’s fine if we’re missing, why don’t we go to gamble? When I win, I’ll bet on Cui Li, and when I win enough money, I’ll go back to my hometown to ask for a wife, and I won’t be doing this shit!”

"I'm going to go to you. You will be dismissed tomorrow. I'll beg the director for you to save you from death. I'm not treating you badly." Ye Mo was indifferent to this.

"Hey, my lord, don't, I know that you have recently taken a fancy to Miss Wushou of Yinyuelou, and you are going around raising money to redeem her, right? This popular and noble lady in Yinyuelou is not cheap, sir. I'm afraid you won't be able to redeem your salary for 30 years without eating or drinking. Why don't you gamble with me in a few shops, and then go to the Jinlou to squeeze Cui Li hard. Isn't it flattering?" Seeing Ye Mo's refusal, Lu Wu immediately changed his strategy.

"If you want to suppress me, also suppress Gu Yue An Gu hero." Ye Mo said after a moment of silence.

"Haha, sir, are you willing? Then let's hurry..." Lu Wu became excited, but was interrupted by Ye Mo before he could finish speaking.

"Okay, stop dreaming and come to live." Ye Mo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked straight ahead coldly.
