Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

"What is this?" Chu Tang raised the golden invitation that was so hard that it was hot, and asked Feng Huang in confusion.

"Invitation to the banquet of heroes." Fenghuang replied.

"A banquet of heroes? What is it?" Chu Tang was even more puzzled.

Fenghuang said angrily: "Don't you know if you open it and take a look?"

Chu Tang groaned and opened it slowly. He was confused after reading the first few sentences.

He can not understand!

It's all in classical Chinese, and it's a four-character arrangement, written in a majestic and colorful way.

He could only vaguely see that there was some happy event and the meaning of "inviting you to come".

Don’t blame him for being uneducated, it’s just that the writing is a bit too ancient!
Even though he has been studying as much as possible, he still spends most of his time practicing martial arts and catching thieves in the past few years. He can only say that he can understand ordinary classical Chinese, and he has only a partial understanding of too profound things.

"This..." Chu Tang held the invitation and looked at Feng Huang awkwardly.

Fenghuang's pretty face was smiling, as if she had seen something very interesting, and said, "Why, you can't understand?"

Chu Tang nodded honestly and said: "Chu comes from a small family, doesn't read much, can't read too profound texts, and is not as good as the third lady's family background."

Fenghuang was a little surprised by Chu Tang's honesty. In front of him, other men would try their best to pretend to be talented and omnipotent. How could anyone expose his shortcomings like Chu Tang?

"You are sincere." Fenghuang chuckled.

Chu Tang said: "If you know it, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. Chu is not going to deceive himself and others."

"Very good!" Feng Huang praised, "You finally have some advantages that make me admire you."

"Please give me some advice, Miss Third."

Fenghuang nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know what the day after tomorrow is?"

"The day after tomorrow?" Chu Tang thought hard for a while, then shook his head and asked, "Is it special?"

"Of course!" Feng Huang said, "The day after tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, and the whole world is celebrating it!"

Oh!
Chu Tang suddenly realized that it was the emperor's birthday!
As for the universal celebration, Chu Tang just laughed.

People in the divine capital may have some feeling. Outside of Zhongzhou, except for those in the official circles, who among ordinary people would care about this day!

Not to mention the martial arts people who had never had a good impression of the imperial court, most of them looked down upon this so-called special day.

Even Chu Tang, who is far away in Liangzhou, has no chance to access this information.

Feng Huang was unaware of Chu Tang's complicated mood and continued: "Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, he will have a banquet for all the ministers in the palace on his birthday."

Chu Tang was surprised: "Invite Mr. Chu to come?"

"You want to eat your shit!" Feng Huang rolled his eyes at Chu Tang, "Those who are qualified to participate in the palace banquet are either highly respected people or important civil servants and generals. Those below the third rank should not have any delusions. As soon as you show off your body, Do you also want to see the emperor?"

Chu Tang did not have the kind of reverence for the emperor that people of this era had - even the martial arts people who were hostile to the imperial court and cursed the "dog emperor" still had a faint sense of fear of the emperor in their hearts.

He has never had any respect for the emperor's destiny. He attached himself to the court and wanted to join the Yiyi Guards, just to get some convenience from this layer of skin.

He believed in himself—of course, he also believed in the panel.

One day, as long as he possesses the top martial arts in this world, he won't need to act based on anyone else's face!
However, his thoughts were on his mind, and he would not be stupid enough to show his disdain in front of Feng Huang. Instead, he made a patient look and motioned for Feng Phoenix to continue.

"On the day of his birthday, in addition to the emperor personally having a banquet with all the ministers in the palace, he will also designate a person from the royal family to represent the emperor and entertain some young elites from aristocratic families outside the palace. Promising disciples from famous martial arts sects who happen to be in the divine capital are also there. Invited." Fenghuang said.

Chu Tang realized something. He waved the invitation in his hand and said, "Is this the banquet of heroes?"

"Yes, that's it!" Feng Huang said with a smile, "The Banquet of Heroes, as the name suggests, is a gathering to entertain heroes. You, Chu Tang, have become famous in the divine capital recently, so you are considered a young hero, and you are qualified to attend this banquet. "

Chu Tang was silent for a long time and sighed: "The royal family is interested!"

The so-called intentional, of course, refers to this kind of move to win over the world's talents.

No matter what the reason is, in the name of the emperor, the royal family lowers its posture to entertain young talents from outside, which is an attitude of releasing goodwill.

Regardless of whether you are a member of the officialdom or a martial arts lord in white, as long as you are willing to attend the meeting, you will be within the sight of the court and the royal family.

It is said that you are short-handed and soft-spoken. You have gone to this banquet to eat the emperor's favor and drink the royal family's favor. Don't you have to be softer?
Of course, it's another thing to sincerely find fault.

However, as long as they don't act foolishly, most people would not dare to mess with a banquet hosted by the emperor on behalf of the emperor.

Otherwise, ask Jian Yiwei if his sword is sharp!

Or, try to see if the Royal Enshrinement Master is awesome!
Chu Tang took a look at the invitation and said, "Why did Chu see the word "Xincheng" on it? Princess of Xincheng?"

Feng Huang explained: "In recent years, the emperor has designated Princess Xincheng to host the banquet of heroes on his behalf. This year is no exception, and it will be held at Princess Xincheng's residence."

Chu Tang suddenly realized, looked at Feng Huang, frowned and asked, "Miss Third, suggest that the princess invite Chu?"

"Then you guessed wrong." Feng Huang shook his head categorically, "This invitation was given to me personally by the Thirteenth Princess. She repeatedly told me to deliver it to you. I also ask you to show your respect and arrive on time."

Chu Tang frowned even more tightly and said, "Didn't Third Miss clearly convey Chu's intention to Princess Xincheng? Chu... is not willing to be the commander of the guards in her mansion."

He thought that the princess had not given up on him yet and was making a final attempt to win her over.

"I said it!" Fenghuang responded simply.

"Didn't Princess Xincheng say anything?"

"She said, since everyone has their own ambitions, then don't force it."

Chu Tang was stunned for a while and said with emotion: "Princess, you are so generous! It is so unparalleled! It is Chu who uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman!"

He didn't give Princess Xincheng any face, and directly rejected her kindness. He thought she would be angry because she was aloof and smooth, but she never thought that she didn't care at all and even sent him an invitation to attend the gathering of heroes.

For those who want to make a career in the divine capital, this qualification to join the Heroes Association is a very important thing to spread their reputation.

It was obvious that Princess Xincheng wanted to help Chu Tang become famous.

Feng Huang glanced at Chu Tang, raised her chest and said, "Princess Xincheng's broad-mindedness is beyond your imagination!"

Chu Tang said yes repeatedly, blamed himself, then raised his head and said: "Third Miss, can Chu not attend this banquet?"

"What?" Fenghuang felt a flash on his waist.

In the first half of the sentence, Chu Tang blamed him for his lack of knowledge, and looked very grateful that Princess Xincheng looked up to her. In the second half of the sentence, he dropped the sentence "Don't you want to participate in the banquet of heroes?"

This operation is too rude!
"Why?" Fenghuang almost went crazy.

Chu Tang said with embarrassment: "Chu is not sociable and has a stupid mouth. He is afraid of going to crowded places. He will feel uncomfortable around him and often offend others."

Not sociable?Fenghuang said, you are a grown man and you almost fooled my brother Jianqi into lameness. You asked him to deal with you, speak for you, and find a job for you. You said you are not good at sociability?

It's just a big joke!

In addition, what made Feng Huang even more speechless was that he, Chu Tang, often offended people. Was it because he was stupid?
Do not!
On the contrary, it's not because he, Chu Tang, can't speak, but because he is so good at talking, it almost makes people angry to death!

Feng Huang could never forget that Chu Tang was at the Xu family's house a few days ago. Whether he was facing the Huang brothers or Sun Yikui, while fighting, he seemed to have no control over his mouth. So angry.

Sun Yikui, a master of the eighth realm, could not defeat him Chu Tang for a long time, and the latter also contributed a lot to his verbal skills.

"Chu Tang!" Feng Huang was angry, "If you want to refuse, please find a more suitable excuse! I told Princess Xincheng your reason, what do you think she will think? Do you really think she has no temper at all? She is the princess of the new city!"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly. He didn't want to go to this banquet of heroes because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Fenghuang said that he had become famous in the city of God today, but Chu Tang thought about it and it was not a good reputation.

At the very least, rumors of his affair with Feng Huang might bring unnecessary provocation to him.

After all, Chu Tang had heard from maid Sanbao that Fenghuang had many well-known suitors in the gods.

The sons of princes, the grandsons of princes, and the children of aristocratic families all pursued Feng Huang passionately.

There is also Xiao Feng, a disciple of the Tianyan Sect who has been training in the city of God recently, and he is also one of them.

These people can be considered young and handsome people, and there is a high probability that they will attend this banquet of heroes.

By then, if he, Feng Huang's rumored fiancé, encounters these licking dogs, wouldn't it mean that thunder from the sky would set fire to the earth, and heavy rain would cause flash floods? !

Long live!
When he thought of competing with these people for nothing more than jealousy, and most likely not earning any chivalry points, Chu Tang suddenly lost interest at all.

"That's it, Miss Third, Brother Feng...oh, that's your Brother Qi, he promised to let Chu join the Guards with him, and he may have to start official duties in the next day or two, so... ..." Chu Tang tried his best to find another reason.

Feng Huang glanced at him coldly: "The invitation is given to you, you can handle it on your own. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not! But I advise you, the trouble you caused in Liangzhou was not caused by joining the Yiyi Guards. Everything will be fine. If Princess Xincheng helps you, you will be better off."

With that said, Fenghuang turned and left, and her warning voice came from afar: "You should think carefully about it!"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly as he watched her figure gradually walk away.

Above her head, the rays of light from the east shine like fire in the summer, reflecting all things in the world.

Looking down at the invitation in his hand, Chu Tang felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. It was simply a hot potato.

"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop..." Chu Tang sighed.

He was in a dilemma.

If you don't want to go, you are really afraid of completely offending Princess Xincheng.

No matter how open-minded this princess is, she is still a woman. If you expect a woman to be very generous, you may be a little ignorant of the sinister nature of the human heart.

If you reject the kindness of Princess Xincheng twice in a row, she may not be targeting you on the surface, but if she tries to trick you at a critical moment, you will really be in trouble!
Princess Xincheng was so powerful that Chu Tang really didn't dare to test her bottom line easily.

But if you go, you may be in real trouble.

Chu Tang has always disdained troublesome matters without benefit.

……

Chu Tang's hesitation due to the banquet of heroes was noticed by Feng Jianqi who came to him for a drink at noon that day. After asking, he learned the cause and effect.

Mr. Feng took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, pointed at Chu Tang and said: "Chu Tang, you are too pretentious! If people outside know that you have received the invitation to the banquet of heroes, they will still be so desperate. I have to peel off your skin! They tried everything they could to get an invitation!"

"Brother Feng means..."

Feng Jian Qi Youyou said: "Feng Huang has made it very clear that you can't afford to offend Princess Xincheng unless you stop living in the capital."

"So..." Chu Tang hesitated, "Is it necessary to go?"

Feng Jianqi chuckled and said: "I have participated in the banquet of heroes in the city of gods several times before. It is quite interesting. Instead of worrying about getting into trouble, it would be good for you to get to know more people. Don't be afraid of having too many friends! That sentence What did you say? I hate you when you use it!"

Chu Tang was speechless. Where is the book? Did you, Mr. Feng, eat the word "book"?

I only heard Feng Jianqi say again: "If the current situation hadn't been wrong, I would have wanted to find an invitation and go to this group of heroes' banquet with you."

When Chu Tang heard this, his heart moved and he said, "Is there something in Brother Feng's words?"

Feng Jianqi looked around and whispered: "This year is the emperor's 73rd birthday."

Chu Tang frowned slightly: "Chu is stupid and doesn't quite understand what Brother Feng means."

Feng Jianqi's voice became even lower: "Folk proverb, 73, 84, the king of hell will not take you there."

Chu Tang's whole body was shaken, his eyes bulged out, and he blurted out: "No way?"

Feng Jianqi coughed and said in a low voice: "Today the emperor is the sixth emperor of Yao, and it has only been a hundred years since the founding of Yao."

Chu Tang's heart was awe-inspiring.

He really didn't pay attention to this problem usually.

In a hundred years, there have been six generations of emperors, with an average age of only sixteen or seventeen years!

In Chu Tang's previous life, the average number of years an emperor of a dynasty had been on the throne might be considered too long.

However, in this world, everyone practices martial arts, and if you have success in your inner strength, your life span will be relatively long.

If a warrior in the Sixth Realm has no serious injuries and dies at the end of his life, it will not be a problem to live to be 80 to [-] years old.

People in the upper three realms can live to be 90 or [-] years old without any accidents.

It is said that the top masters of the Nine Realms can live for more than a hundred years!
Chu Tang stared at Feng Jianqi's eyes for a while. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "Brother Feng, there must be rare martial arts treasures in the royal family. One or two generations of emperors may not be interested in going there. If you practice, you won’t stop practicing for six or seven times in a row, right?”

Feng Jianqi said: "Today, 20 years ago, I was at the seventh level, but in the past 20 years, I have not made any progress."

"Seventh Realm..." Chu Tang nodded, "As long as you maintain your health regimen, you can live over 80 years in the Seventh Realm."

Feng Jianqi said mysteriously: "But the fact is that the emperor's health is deteriorating, and now... people are excited! In fact, the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, and he has been in power for 25 years. In addition to the founding ancestor, He’s been in office the longest.”

Chu Tang's scalp was numb. He really had no way to find out this kind of information.

If Feng Jianqi hadn't mentioned it today, he would never have thought that the gods would be in such a situation.

Chu Tang felt like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

He took the same path as Feng Kaijing and joined the Guards!
And Feng Kaijing was the emperor's favorite minister. To put it nicely, he was the emperor's ears, eyes and sword; to put it badly, he was the wolf and dog raised by the emperor. He would bite whoever the emperor asked him to bite.

And if such a person were a different emperor, would he still trust him like the late emperor?
He knows too much!
By then, everyone will know that once the emperor is the emperor, there are also courtiers!
"Damn it! Why do I feel a bit like joining the southern camp in [-] when I join the Guards?" Chu Tang was worried and began to retreat. (End of chapter)
