Chapter 82
Mu Yun walked into the deer hall.This was just one of the many banquet halls in Tengwang Pavilion, not the biggest one nor the most luxurious one, but he was still shocked by the magnificence of the Deer Hall.For more than a month, although he lived in Tengwang Pavilion, his scope of activities was limited to the underground hangar, except for that time he went to Tangchi to find Xiao Yezi for a "heart-to-heart talk".Although the housekeeper Ji arranged their own bedrooms for them, in fact, he was so tired that he walked into the room every day and fell directly on the bed. He didn't care about the interior decoration at all. The distance is a little far.Most of the time they used the command table in the hangar lobby as a dining table, and sometimes as a temporary berth.This made Mu Yun almost forget that he was living in the most extravagant private mansion in Donglin.
"I've almost forgotten the feeling of holding a banquet." Xiao Teng Wang turned the crystal wine glass in his hand, took a sip of the golden wine, and sighed with satisfaction.Mu Yun rolled her eyes in her heart with no expression on her face.He felt that King Teng hadn't forgotten how to hold a banquet at all—at least he hadn't forgotten to call the large group of showgirls who invited him.They are almost the background board of Xiao Tengwang's activities.The servant girls dressed up as flying musicians this time, and they put on golden-yellow skin with a metallic luster like the gorse wine in the cup of King Teng. The bun, forehead, chest and arms are decorated with emeralds and agates. , with five-color streamers suspended around their waists and thighs, auspicious clouds under their feet, and uninspired musical instruments surrounding them, playing a soothing and graceful tune.With the dancing gestures of the girls, a stream of fragrance was swayed into the air.
The sides and feet of the guests are also surrounded by auspicious clouds, half of which come from the illusion created by the holographic environment simulation images, and half of which are the effects released by the climate generators hidden in every corner of the banquet hall, and perhaps some Gravity controller.So much so that when Mu Yun just walked into the Deer Hall, he suddenly felt like he was stepping into the void.He couldn't figure out how big this hall was. The guests seemed to be in the boundless sea of clouds, and the tables for the guests to put their wine glasses and plates were designed in the shape of undulating mountains, like peaks emerging from the sea of clouds.All kinds of birds are flying over the hall, shuttling among the guests like busy waiters. The birds hold beautifully woven bamboo baskets in their beaks. The bamboo baskets are lined with silk scarves and various Food and beverages that are exquisitely shaped like sculptures—at least just from their color and shape, Mu Yun would never be able to guess what kind of food they are.He guessed it was the mechanical birds with feathers under the control of the housekeeper.There is a lark with a thin-necked pewter with a ring in its beak, which contains the kind of golden wine that King Teng is enjoying. When the cups in the hands of the guests have bottomed out, the bird will dive from the sky. Come down and fill your glass again.But it ignored the empty cup that Lao Zhang held up to it several times, flew past him, and flew low on purpose, luring Lao Zhang to jump up cursing and trying in vain to catch it—— Much like those innocuous pranks that the Homo sapiens like to tease their masters a little.
The guests—mainly the knights from the Li Family and the Eagle Castle—seemed to have enjoyed everything at the banquet.King Xiao Teng claimed that this was an informal private banquet, a "Xiao Hua Banquet" before the one hosted by Teng Wengong, but its actual purpose was to consolidate the agreement between Teng Jiaxing, the Li family and the Fei family during the spring hunt. alliance.The Fei family also obtained the qualification to enter the Yin Ruins. According to Li Jing's plan, the two teams will join forces to fight against other knights entering the Yin Ruins, and the Li family will support them outside the Yin Ruins.
The main course of Xiaohua's banquet was a meat cake in the shape of hydrangea brocade, which was as big as a round table. Hundreds of birds were holding the edge of the chassis at the same time, flapping their wings desperately to float in the air and slowly serving it.King Xiao Teng invited the young master of the Li family and Xiao Yezi—her identity at the banquet to represent the master of Eagle Castle—to come forward. The three of them pulled out their knight swords and cut the cake together. A burst of bright holographic fireworks rose from the cake. The family emblems of the Li family and the Fei family, as well as the logo of Teng Jiaxing were formed in midair.The knights raised their wine glasses, cheered and clinked glasses with each other, which meant that for a short period of time in the future—Mu Yun guessed that at least until the end of the spring hunt, they would fight together instead of stabbing each other in the back.
Mu Yun stood behind the crowd, there were hundreds of knights here - not only the knights who participated in the spring hunting attended the banquet, but also many knights from the Li family and the Fei family that he had never seen before.Although Teng Wang declared that this was not a formal banquet, they were also very well dressed-even more gorgeous than when they were dressed in formal knight costumes.Mu Yun had never thought that men's clothes could have so many patterns and colors, which reminded him of the group of male peacocks strutting in the garden of King Teng.
He was still wearing his old faded cloak, which made him look out of place with everything around him.The housekeeper prepared knight suits and some casual clothes that looked low-key and well-tailored for them, and hung them in the closet in his bedroom together with his old washed cloak.But Mu Yun would rather wear her own clothes.He thought that since it wasn't a formal dinner, it didn't matter that he was dressed the same as he was in the hangar.He realizes now how wrong he was.But this is not a bad thing - during the time in Donglin, he almost forgot how different he was from those noble knights.
He glanced at Li Jing who was standing beside him. He was wearing a white burqa without any decorations. The style was no different from the burqa he wore when he left Chang'an City. A golden necklace hangs on his chest, and the pendant part is a beautifully carved pocket watch.Mu Yun guessed that it was some kind of communicator.He saw that Li Jing had been wearing this necklace since he left Chang'an, but he never saw him use it, only occasionally, he saw Li Jing use that pocket watch to check the time.
"Why do you keep dangling in front of me?" Li Jing said, a lark swooped down from his head to refill the wine glass in his hand.Mu Yun noticed that the bird had been circling above his head, almost never leaving him—it must have been the thoughtful arrangement of Butler Ji, or maybe it was just that Li Jing was drinking too fast.
"I'm not full." Mu Yun replied angrily.Although he admitted that the appearance of the birds flying around in the air with the food basket in their mouths is very interesting, but due to the size of the birds themselves, the food baskets they carry usually contain only a piece of pastry - although it is very beautifully made , but that's only enough for one bite.Mu Yun guessed that according to Butler Ji's elegant dining etiquette, everyone should wait patiently for the birds to fly to him according to the time and food intake he calculated before reaching out to eat - in fact, the birds are flocking to eat at this time. Flying away from the hall, their petite figures shuttled in groups among the auspicious clouds, and against the backdrop of the setting sun, they looked like tired birds returning to their nests, forming a beautiful landscape in the sky above the banquet hall.It appears that the butler thinks mealtime is over.The sunlight cast from above the banquet hall gradually dimmed, and the auspicious clouds floating on the ground also dissipated, making room for the dance floor.Mu Yun knew that her movements of waving and dancing in an attempt to intercept the birds flying over his head were not very elegant, and it caused a lot of damage to this beautiful scene of tired birds returning to their nests, which was obviously carefully designed. It's a big spoiler.But he never found elegance a thing worth starving for.Otherwise what can I do?I am also very helpless!Mu Yun vomited secretly in her heart, I am a big man after all, how can I be full with this bit of bird food!
"This bit of bird food is really not enough to fill your stomach, so Lao Zhang, Su Sheng, Xiao Yezi and I have already had a meal in the kitchen beforehand." Li Jing took a sip of wine and said, facing Mu Yun who was full of resentment With small eyes, he added a special sentence, "I didn't call you because you were too deep in sleep. How about it, is your teacher very considerate?"
Thoughtful, you still train me until I can't get up?Mu Yun didn't want to talk, she turned her head away silently, and complained in her heart.Just because he hastily drew his sword in order to save Su Sheng in the Battle of Hongling, which caused his moves to be deformed and out of shape, Li Jing caught him and extended the daily special training time by two hours.Mu Yun is already very depressed from devil training to hell training. What makes him even more upset is that in order to cooperate with the two teams after entering Yinxu, he now has two hours a day It is to train and run-in with the group of knights in Eagle Castle.And they seemed to be quite hostile to him. They called him a traitor from White Horse City, and they always made trouble for him during the training process. This reminded him of the rather unpleasant time in the Northwest Wolf Barracks in the past.
The banquet hall was full of joy, and the young knights walked among the clouds, looking for the girl they liked in the gradually rising moonlight, and prepared to invite her to dance with them.The notes flying in the air also became soft and soothing, the dome of the hall was replaced by a starry sky, and the romantic starlight fell on the dancing crowd, twinkling playfully.But Mu Yun only felt that all of this was extremely boring, just like the group of noble knights dressed up like peacocks, everything was boring.
"I'm going back to the hangar." He simply said to Li Jing.Rather than wasting time at this banquet, watching the peacock-like noble knights flirting with the girls, he would rather ponder how to make the Bright Sword exert its true power, and even watch it a few more times in front of the fireplace in the hangar hall. Chapter "Knight's Travel Record" is also more interesting than standing here stupidly - and Mu Yun always thought that he was the person who was the least lazy to read books.
But at this moment, he saw Xiao Ye walking towards him through the crowd.As the head of the Yingbao Fei family and the highest-ranking woman at the banquet, she just finished the opening dance with King Teng and the young master of the Li family.She held the skirt in one hand, and the black skirt curled around her feet like a dark cloud, covered with starlight, and the diamond earrings shone in her short hair.She fanned the wind with the other hand, panting slightly, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes, which were modified with black eyeliner, looked bigger and brighter.Mu Yun had to admit that when she no longer concealed her face, she was as beautiful as a sharp knife, and anyone who glanced at her would leave deep marks in their hearts.
"Will you ask me to dance?" she asked straight to the point.
"Why?" Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, "You have no shortage of dance partners." He pointed to the surroundings, and the noble youths who followed her footsteps politely kept a distance of two or three steps from them.They pretended to be arranging their clothes or admiring the beautiful scenery, but the corner of their eyes kept glancing this way, secretly observing the progress of their conversation, so that they could come up to invite her immediately after she finished talking with Mu Yun Going to dance—whether they recognized Mu Yun or not, they didn't think Fei Ye would ask him to be a dance partner—not only because of his vulgar attire like a commoner, but also because of the blank expression and stiffness on his face His standing posture also shows that he doesn't enjoy this kind of activity very much.
"Oh, since I became the Patriarch of the Fei family, I have had a whole hall of suitors." Fei Ye glanced behind him and made a face at Mu Yun, "I doubt they saw me digging in the hangar. Will you still want to dance with me after seeing your feet?"
You're cute even when you pick your feet.Mu Yun said silently in his heart, he was not stupid enough to say this, but in Xiao Ye Zi's view, the way he looked down at her toes in a daze seemed to acquiesce to her point of view.She nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "But I think even if I am a sow who picks my feet, they should come to please me first, after all, I am now the head of the Fei family."
She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Some of them are pretty cute, but I'm exhausted today, I've heard enough sweet words, and I don't want to repeat the proper responses taught to me by the housekeeper again and again Yes. If I had to say again thank you for your kindness sir but I already have an appointment tonight and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow as well maybe the next time I will just tear off this damn heavy and stumbling skirt Started yelling and swearing, and this made the housekeeper very angry, because he took a lot of thought to dress me up as a noble lady. In his opinion, because Xiao Teng Wang didn't bring a female companion, I was half a daughter of this banquet Master, if I slipped in the middle of the bath, I would ruin the party, and he will never allow this to happen. He just stood there, and with my bath water, it will always turn halfway through the bath. Threatening me with cold water, you know that the entire water supply system of Tengwang Pavilion is controlled by his precious brain, right?"
She talked a lot, then looked at Mu Yun who was bewildered, and smiled sweetly at him, "Anyway, you just invite me to dance, since you don't like to talk anyway, let's dance quietly , Just dance like this all night, without saying anything. As a friend, you always have to help, right?" She took Mu Yun's arm, approached him and said, "Don't worry about me stepping on your feet, everyone Everyone said that I danced very well." Without waiting for Mu Yun to answer, she smiled at him again, and at the same time lifted the hem of her skirt, and turned around lightly, "Now I'm going to get myself a drink, we'll wait See you at the bar."
"Okay." Mu Yun said.
After a while he came back to himself.
"Hey, wait..." Mu Yun stood where he was, the scent of the girl's body, the warm touch of her slender fingers on his wrist, the flying skirt, the swirling stars and the melodious dance music, all of which overwhelmed her. He was so dizzy that he could barely catch what she was saying.It wasn't until he met the envious eyes of the knights around him that he realized that he had just promised Xiao Yezi to dance with her all night?
This is the rhythm of fighting against the knights in the entire hall!
Mu Yun's expression didn't change, his heart was beating fast.
"Women are always very good at using all kinds of excuses to achieve their goals..." Li Jing, who was standing beside Mu Yun, shook his head, watching Xiao Ye Zi's back pouring down a glass of wine, "Speaking of which, You don't seem to know how to dance?"
"I was discovered by you." Mu Yun said with a straight face.If there's anything more boring than a party it's dancing at it.When he was in Baima City, Mu Chuan also tried to teach him how to dance, but he refused.He never understood what pleasure there was in a man and a woman circling the hall. "I'd better go back to the hangar." Mu Yun muttered in a low voice, he felt the temperature in the whole hall suddenly rise several degrees, and his neck had already started to sweat.
"Running in battle is not what a man should do. What's more, as a knight, you just agreed to a lady's request. If you can't do it, it's against the spirit of chivalry." Li Jing said seriously.
Things like chivalry come out of Li Jing's mouth... Mu Yun is still not used to it: "Get to the point."
"The point is, the consequences of offending a woman are terrible." Li Jing said, "Based on my experience and lessons, if you promise a woman one thing but fail to do it, then she will always talk about it in the future , and you need to promise her more things to get her to shut up."
It looks like you really have a lot of experience!Mu Yun groaned silently in his heart, "I can't dance." He emphasized it again.
"Small point," Li Jing said, "It's just dancing. It's not more difficult than the seven moves of the sword. With your comprehension and your teacher's guidance, it's absolutely no problem to memorize a set of dance steps within 5 minutes."
"Are you going to teach me how to dance?" Mu Yun's eyes widened. "Now? Here?"
"Surprised, isn't it?" Li Jing put down his wine glass and stretched his muscles, "You know, there is nothing a teacher can't do except having children, so let me teach you how to make a girl dizzy I can only rely on your arms to find support if I can't breathe!"
Mu Yun's eyes widened again, and after confirming that the person standing in front of him was really Li Jing and not King Teng, he immediately became vigilant: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"
It's not that he doubts Li Jing's dancing skills, but because of Li Jing's lazy personality, if he can lie down, he will never sit, and if he can sit, he will never stand. Even if he is standing, he must find a place to lean on and don't preach After dancing, the one who can invite him to dance a few steps must be the lady in the Daming Palace, right?
Even if he is Li Jing's apprentice, even if Li Jing is still very particular about teaching riding skills, it's because this guy still has a place for him. As for life...just look at Su Sheng, he's a great northerner Prince Wang doesn't have the slightest aristocratic temperament in his body, he is completely a street gangster, this is the result of Li Jing's education.
"Hehe, what's the purpose of such a trivial thing as teaching the apprentice how to dance and pick up girls? Naturally, it shows the master's care and love for the apprentice." Li Jing said without blushing at all. Standing there monotonously, you are not lonely, you are still a young man, you can enjoy yourself when you can, and live like an old man, is it interesting?"
"Interesting." Mu Yun was unmoved, "And you, to be honest, don't keep talking nonsense."
"You actually talk to me like that. It seems that I really don't discipline you too much." Li Jing shook his head, took a look at Mu Yun's ugly face, and said, "Actually, there is no special purpose, just The banquet ball is a traditional way of socializing for noble lords, and it is also the best occasion for them to gather together to spy on each other, exchange information and decide who is an ally and who is an enemy. Dancing as a noble is equivalent to a necessary skill. If you want to pretend to be If you are an aristocrat, if you are involved in a ball, then you must master this skill."
"So which ball do you want me to pretend to be a nobleman?" Mu Yun asked blankly.
"Naturally, it's Teng Wengong's ball." Li Jing said, "Do you still remember that I took care of the matter of finding out the identity of Teng Wengong's female military adviser Thirteen for you? According to my original plan, let Lao Zhang's It is most suitable for people to do this. Most of the members of the Rose Knights are civilians from Donglin. Among them, there are bandits and thieves. Even in the castle city, they have their own intelligence network. Through their channels, It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a few relatives and friends who work in the castle tower, such as guards or kitchen helpers, and sneak into the castle tower with their help.”
"It's just that Teng Wengong's Tianshou Pavilion is not so easy to get in. Although we got the structure diagram of the Tianshou Pavilion from King Teng, we found that Teng Wengong was very vigilant. The guards and servants of the entire castle tower were replaced by Ruizu and servants. They all have a special identification system. It is impossible to pretend to be guards or servants to sneak into the castle tower. The only way to enter the castle tower The best opportunity is the feast before entering the Yin Ruins."
Wouldn’t it be enough to leave this difficult and high-risk task to you?Mu Yun really wanted to say that, but thinking that Li Jing had just recovered from his injury not long ago, he felt a little embarrassed to speak up.Speaking of which, from the beginning of Spring Hunting to the present, except for the sword that Li Jing said was "unsightly" in the Battle of Hongling, it seems that I haven't done much, right?If he continues to play soy sauce like this, his position as the protagonist will be lost. Speaking of which, Huayan seems to be a good opportunity to perform...
I don't know if Li Jing has guessed Mu Yun's careful thoughts, but he coughed a few times, and then said: "Our plan is to take advantage of the feast in three days' time to get into the castle tower. Put a signal catcher in it. Since the master of Shisan is not Teng Wengong, she will definitely get in touch with her real master, so as long as we can capture her communication signal, we will be able to know which faction is hiding behind Teng Wengong. power."
"According to the structure diagram of the castle tower provided by King Xiaoteng, the system terminal of the tower is located on the second floor underground. In addition to the automatic defense system, there are also three teams of sharp guards patrolling and guarding. King Xiaoteng and Butler Ji are of course qualified to attend the banquet , but even if Butler Ji can solve the automatic defense system, it is unrealistic to break through the guards of the three sharp guards without attracting attention with King Teng's skill. As for Lao Zhang, although there are also thieves with good skills , but after all, they are just small-time thieves, and it is too reluctant to pretend to be a nobleman and sneak into a banquet of this size without being stage-frightened. So I discussed with Lao Zhang that this task is still handed over to It is more suitable for you and Xiao Yezi. As the head of the Yingbao Fei family, she is absolutely qualified to participate in the Dongjun Banquet. You enter the Huayan Banquet as her male companion, and Ji Butler will cooperate with you to fix the surveillance system and automatic defense system. But how to quietly break through the defense of the three teams of sharp soldiers is up to you, how about it, is there any difficulty?"
"It's very difficult." Mu Yun said honestly, the difficulty is not how to break through the defense of the three teams of Rui soldiers, but how to break through the defense of the three teams of Rui soldiers without being discovered, and enter the underground terminal of the castle tower , "Can I take the snow girl?" he asked.
"Yes." Li Jing said, "As an aristocrat, it's very strange not to have any servants from the Rui clan or servants around you. You can think about the specific plan slowly. There are still three days, you If there is any equipment that needs to be prepared, you can ask the butler Ji, and if you need the manpower Lao Zhang can also arrange it."
"As for now," Li Jing took Mu Yun's hand and put it on his waist, leaning into his arms, "The most urgent thing is to teach you how to dance as soon as possible. First learn the dance steps with me, and then you can You've started practicing with Xiao Ye Zi, after such a night of special training, you shouldn't be ashamed at the banquet, right?"
Let’s not talk about whether I will be ashamed at the Chinese banquet, but am I not ashamed now!Mu Yun's heart was filled with grief and indignation, he and Li Jing, two big men hugging each other in circles, almost became a scene in the hall.The young knights who had cast envious and jealous glances at him before were all looking at him with strange and friendly eyes, apparently having classified his identity from the rival in love to Xiao Yezi's "best friend" This column is gone, and the whispers of "I didn't expect them to be a couple" and "It turned out that the number one knight in the world was so good at that time" are even more endless.While Mu Yun hugged Li Jing and continued to circle around expressionlessly, her heart was broken.
"Don't have a generous expression on your face, put your arms around my waist tighter, and look at me softly, what's with your murderous eyes?" Li Jing was still babbling, "toe toe Forward 45 degrees, keeping the center of gravity on the right leg, now circle at three o'clock, move two positions to the left, pay attention to the stability of the core of the torso, now circle at nine o'clock—huh?"
Li Jing stopped dancing suddenly, and Mu Yun thought that one of her feet was wrong again, but she heard Li Jing say: "Master, I suddenly feel unwell. It seems that I have relapsed from an old problem. Let's stop here first. Anyway. You have almost memorized the dance steps, you will find Xiao Yezi to continue practicing tonight, and I will go back to rest first."
Li Jing left as soon as he said, and before he left, he pushed Mu Yun in front of Xiao Ye Zi, and said, "I'll leave this guy to you, you young people practice hard, don't be lazy!"
Why practice hard and don't be lazy!The romantic feeling of blushing and beating when you thought of dancing with a girl before you said that is all gone, okay?This time it really became a special training!Also, has this old problem of yours been recurring too frequently recently? Why is it that you don’t blush or breathe, and you don’t even cough once before you make it again?Even if you want to find an excuse to get away, you should go for a snack anyway?
Mu Yun was making a series of complaints in her heart, but saw that Xiao Ye Zi didn't mind at all, and stretched out her hands to him with a smile.The eyes of the whole hall were focused on the two of them, and the butler Ji specially moved a beam of moonlight to hit them. Mu Yun also had to catch Xiao Yezi's hands, bowed his knees slightly, and followed the re-played The music starts to dance.
But Li Jing had already passed through the crowd in the hall at this moment, and disappeared to nowhere.
Although it was the first time in Mu Yun's life that he held the girl's small palm with one hand and the girl's slender waist with the other, he could feel the heat from the girl's delicate and warm skin even through a layer of fabric, let alone the two of them. While moving with the music, each other's bodies would rub against each other slightly from time to time, and as long as Mu Yun lowered his head slightly, he could see the girl's beautiful face raised up, her own figure reflected in her bright eyes, And the girl's breasts, which were set off by gauze lace, were dancing gently with the dance steps of the two... But at this time, Mu Yun found that he was a little absent-minded.
"You have something on your mind." Xiao Ye Zi, who had been stepped on several times by Mu Yun, finally couldn't help but said.
"Yeah." Mu Yun said honestly.Although he always felt that what Li Jing said was an excuse to take the opportunity to get out, but just now Li Jing left too suddenly, and he left in a hurry, and Mu Yun was a little worried: Could it be that guy? Did the hidden disease really break out suddenly?Or is it that the guy didn't heal from his injury last time, but he just held on until now and couldn't hold it anymore?
Although Mu Yun said that he had never called Li Jing as a master, and he didn't want Su Sheng to obedience and admiration to Li Jing, but after all, from Chang'an all the way to Donglin, we got along for so many days. No, Mu Yun is really not such a person, I just want him to admit that he is worried about Li Jing. Shrewd, most people worry about Li Jing because they are worried that they will be cheated by him. How can anyone worry about him when they are full?
"That's your master. If you're worried, just go and have a look." Mu Yun was frowning, but Xiao Ye Zi looked at him with a smile and said, "You look like a desert It’s as cold and hard as the stones in it, but it’s actually quite gentle inside.”
"A friend of mine said the same thing in the past." Mu Yun said in a daze.
"Then go." Xiao Yezi said, just like she usually talked to Mu Yun with her feet crossed and playing with a dagger in the hangar, she lightly kicked Mu Yun with her toe, "I will wait for you here of."
"En." Mu Yun said.
For some reason, Xiao Yezi's words reminded him of Baima City in the northwest desert.
He was originally an orphan, without father or mother, and he didn't even have a name.
Just like Xiao Yezi said, he is like a stone in the desert, a humble, small, silent existence.The only time he was noticed was when he landed on someone else's foot, and then he was kicked away inadvertently.
Then he met Mu Chuan, the young master of Baima City, a very bad knight.
But this poor knight saved his life, befriended him, and gave him his surname.
So he became Mu Yun, Mu Yun of Baima City.
Until the White Horse City broke down, he lost his only friend.
Mu Yun from Baima City has become Mu Yun, the traitor of Baima City that people say.
When he was in Chang'an City, he lost his battle armor Xifeng again—the battle armor that Mu Chuan once drove was the only thing he left in this world. The wolf master of Canglang redeemed the battle armor Zephyr.
At that time, he thought he had nothing left.
Until now, he is still penniless, and he still owes Li Jing two gold pounds.
But he found that he suddenly had friends again, someone who would worry him, someone who would fight with him, and someone who would wait for him to come back.
This made him a little moved, a little sad, and a little regretful.
Because he suddenly discovered that dancing is actually a very interesting thing, and he is actually looking forward to dancing with Xiao Yezi.
Even the embarrassing experience of dancing with Li Jing will become an interesting memory in the future.
"I'll go see him."
He said to Xiao Yezi and walked out of the banquet hall.
The corridor was very quiet, the floor was covered with real woolen carpet, people walked on it quietly, there were faint chatter and laughter coming from the smoking room, but Li Jing was not there.
Mu Yun looked towards the end of the corridor, where there were several fully transparent viewing elevators for guests, and the numbers showing the floors were constantly changing.Many guests who come to Tengwang Pavilion for the first time like to climb high and look far away, and appreciate what it feels like to stand on the tallest building in Yongjiang City and look down.
At the other end of the corridor is the elevator used by Xiao Teng Wang personally, and the number showing the floor stays on the first floor of the underground hangar.
Xiao Teng Wang and others are still in the banquet hall, and the authority of this elevator is only available to those who are currently living in the Teng Wang Pavilion in order to prepare for the spring hunting.
Li Jing is the only one who will go to the underground hangar at this time.
It's just that if Li Jing really had an old illness, why would he go to the underground hangar instead of going back to the bedroom to take a good rest?
Speaking of which, what's wrong with this guy, can't you find a doctor to take a good look at it?
Could it be that at this age, Li Jing is still a master who avoids diseases and doctors, and takes medicine for fear of suffering?
Mu Yun pressed the button leading to the underground hangar, thinking that if Li Jing was caught sick this time, he would have to be treated for his illness, and he should not be spoiled like this anymore, lest he keep using a bad illness as an excuse, Instructing myself to do this and that is annoying.
There are still some diseases that cannot be cured by the medical skills on the Pangu Continent today, and most of them are people who can't die even if they want to die.
Mu Yun thought wildly all the way, and walked into the hangar hall.
The lights were on in the hangar hall, and the round table in the center of the hall was still as messy as it was before they left, with cups and model materials that Li Jing took casually to demonstrate the battle situation. It seemed that even the butler Ji was too busy to clean it.Mu Yun saw Li Jing's coat on the back of a chair beside the table, but Li Jing was not in the hangar lobby.
"Where did this guy go..."
Mu Yun muttered softly.The scope of the underground hangar is very large. On the first floor alone, there are three major areas: the hangar hall, the prototype hangar and the assembly workshop. The prototype hangar and the assembly workshop are located on the left and right sides of the hangar hall, and there is a passage in the middle.There are no workers here. When Xiao Teng Wang builds the armor, he is assisted by the butler Ji who controls the mechanical arm.The floor of the hall is covered with sound-absorbing industrial carpets, and even the heavy old military boots on Mu Yun's feet can't hear a sound when they step on them.Under the white lighting, the empty hangar lobby looked extraordinarily quiet.
Wait, lighting... Mu Yun, who was planning to turn around and go back to the elevator, suddenly realized that the underground hangar was too large. The most important is the automatic induction lighting system.The lights in the hangar hall were still on, indicating that Li Jing was in the hangar hall just now.
And before he came down, the lift had been parked on the first floor of the underground hangar, which meant that Li Jing was still here.
Mu Yun frowned. The left and right sides of the hangar hall, the prototype hangar and the assembly workshop were all pitch black. Even if Li Jing was there, he turned off the lighting system in that area. What did the black lights want to do?
Is it...
Mu Yun remembered that Su Sheng seemed to have mentioned that when Li Jing was seriously ill, no one was allowed to approach him.Su Sheng said quite aggrievedly that they were still in Chang'an City. When Li Jing fell ill, he locked himself in the back room of the machine repair shop by himself and did not come out for a whole night. He quickly called the doctor, and the doctor wanted to break in to treat Li Jing, but he and Su Sheng were scolded bloody by Li Jing, and forced to drive the doctor away through the door.
Li Jing ran to the ground because he was embarrassed by his illness and didn't want to be seen, turned off the lights and hid in the dark?
Mu Yun felt a little nervous when he thought about it.
Although Li Jing manually turned off the lighting system, the safety lights in the passage leading to the prototype hangar were still on.Perhaps even Li Jing hadn't noticed that all the aisle induction lighting systems in the Tengwang Pavilion, including the underground, were directly controlled by the butler Ji, and they couldn't be turned off manually.
That guy must be in the prototype hangar.
During this month, Mu Yun and others often entered the assembly workshop, and provided various parameters for the use of Xiao Teng Wang when he customized the armor for them. This prototype hangar was only visited on the day when he first arrived at Teng Wang Pavilion. One time, fortunately, Butler Ji kept the prototype hangar very tidy, unlike the small Tengwang style of the assembly workshop where materials were piled up everywhere, without even a place to step down.Taking advantage of the glimmer of light from the air vents, Mu Yun walked through the rows of tall battle armor in the dark without making any movement.
He finally found Li Jing behind the last row of armor.
Seeing Li Jing standing there in good order, Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.He was thinking about how to explain that he didn't practice dancing with Xiao Yezi in the banquet hall, but he chased Li Jing all the way here so that he wouldn't be embarrassed - he couldn't just admit that he was worried about this guy, could he?
At this moment, he turned around the row of battle armor and realized that Li Jing was not alone.
Directly in front of him was another man, tall and well-built, wearing a richly colored brocade robe that hung down to his instep, and a pair of loose white silk trousers tied around his waist with the same gorgeous brocade between, revealing a honey-colored chest.A head of thick curly hair covers his forehead, his cheeks are narrow and long, sharp like a knife, his chin is sharp, his eyes are very black and bright, with ghost green faintly around his pupils, like appearing silently in the desert The wolf quietly stared at his prey, making the person who stared at him creepy.But when he laughed out loud, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, he looked extraordinarily hearty and friendly.
Mu Yun suddenly realized that he knew this man, even though he had seen this man only a handful of times, he did remember this face.He remembered the smile on this face when the White Horse City was broken, the snow-white teeth gleaming under the firelight, just like a wolf in the desert seeing its fallen prey, he should never forget this face.
Because this face belongs to the wolf lord of the Northwest Canglang, Liang Yuecheng.
(End of this chapter)
Mu Yun walked into the deer hall.This was just one of the many banquet halls in Tengwang Pavilion, not the biggest one nor the most luxurious one, but he was still shocked by the magnificence of the Deer Hall.For more than a month, although he lived in Tengwang Pavilion, his scope of activities was limited to the underground hangar, except for that time he went to Tangchi to find Xiao Yezi for a "heart-to-heart talk".Although the housekeeper Ji arranged their own bedrooms for them, in fact, he was so tired that he walked into the room every day and fell directly on the bed. He didn't care about the interior decoration at all. The distance is a little far.Most of the time they used the command table in the hangar lobby as a dining table, and sometimes as a temporary berth.This made Mu Yun almost forget that he was living in the most extravagant private mansion in Donglin.
"I've almost forgotten the feeling of holding a banquet." Xiao Teng Wang turned the crystal wine glass in his hand, took a sip of the golden wine, and sighed with satisfaction.Mu Yun rolled her eyes in her heart with no expression on her face.He felt that King Teng hadn't forgotten how to hold a banquet at all—at least he hadn't forgotten to call the large group of showgirls who invited him.They are almost the background board of Xiao Tengwang's activities.The servant girls dressed up as flying musicians this time, and they put on golden-yellow skin with a metallic luster like the gorse wine in the cup of King Teng. The bun, forehead, chest and arms are decorated with emeralds and agates. , with five-color streamers suspended around their waists and thighs, auspicious clouds under their feet, and uninspired musical instruments surrounding them, playing a soothing and graceful tune.With the dancing gestures of the girls, a stream of fragrance was swayed into the air.
The sides and feet of the guests are also surrounded by auspicious clouds, half of which come from the illusion created by the holographic environment simulation images, and half of which are the effects released by the climate generators hidden in every corner of the banquet hall, and perhaps some Gravity controller.So much so that when Mu Yun just walked into the Deer Hall, he suddenly felt like he was stepping into the void.He couldn't figure out how big this hall was. The guests seemed to be in the boundless sea of clouds, and the tables for the guests to put their wine glasses and plates were designed in the shape of undulating mountains, like peaks emerging from the sea of clouds.All kinds of birds are flying over the hall, shuttling among the guests like busy waiters. The birds hold beautifully woven bamboo baskets in their beaks. The bamboo baskets are lined with silk scarves and various Food and beverages that are exquisitely shaped like sculptures—at least just from their color and shape, Mu Yun would never be able to guess what kind of food they are.He guessed it was the mechanical birds with feathers under the control of the housekeeper.There is a lark with a thin-necked pewter with a ring in its beak, which contains the kind of golden wine that King Teng is enjoying. When the cups in the hands of the guests have bottomed out, the bird will dive from the sky. Come down and fill your glass again.But it ignored the empty cup that Lao Zhang held up to it several times, flew past him, and flew low on purpose, luring Lao Zhang to jump up cursing and trying in vain to catch it—— Much like those innocuous pranks that the Homo sapiens like to tease their masters a little.
The guests—mainly the knights from the Li Family and the Eagle Castle—seemed to have enjoyed everything at the banquet.King Xiao Teng claimed that this was an informal private banquet, a "Xiao Hua Banquet" before the one hosted by Teng Wengong, but its actual purpose was to consolidate the agreement between Teng Jiaxing, the Li family and the Fei family during the spring hunt. alliance.The Fei family also obtained the qualification to enter the Yin Ruins. According to Li Jing's plan, the two teams will join forces to fight against other knights entering the Yin Ruins, and the Li family will support them outside the Yin Ruins.
The main course of Xiaohua's banquet was a meat cake in the shape of hydrangea brocade, which was as big as a round table. Hundreds of birds were holding the edge of the chassis at the same time, flapping their wings desperately to float in the air and slowly serving it.King Xiao Teng invited the young master of the Li family and Xiao Yezi—her identity at the banquet to represent the master of Eagle Castle—to come forward. The three of them pulled out their knight swords and cut the cake together. A burst of bright holographic fireworks rose from the cake. The family emblems of the Li family and the Fei family, as well as the logo of Teng Jiaxing were formed in midair.The knights raised their wine glasses, cheered and clinked glasses with each other, which meant that for a short period of time in the future—Mu Yun guessed that at least until the end of the spring hunt, they would fight together instead of stabbing each other in the back.
Mu Yun stood behind the crowd, there were hundreds of knights here - not only the knights who participated in the spring hunting attended the banquet, but also many knights from the Li family and the Fei family that he had never seen before.Although Teng Wang declared that this was not a formal banquet, they were also very well dressed-even more gorgeous than when they were dressed in formal knight costumes.Mu Yun had never thought that men's clothes could have so many patterns and colors, which reminded him of the group of male peacocks strutting in the garden of King Teng.
He was still wearing his old faded cloak, which made him look out of place with everything around him.The housekeeper prepared knight suits and some casual clothes that looked low-key and well-tailored for them, and hung them in the closet in his bedroom together with his old washed cloak.But Mu Yun would rather wear her own clothes.He thought that since it wasn't a formal dinner, it didn't matter that he was dressed the same as he was in the hangar.He realizes now how wrong he was.But this is not a bad thing - during the time in Donglin, he almost forgot how different he was from those noble knights.
He glanced at Li Jing who was standing beside him. He was wearing a white burqa without any decorations. The style was no different from the burqa he wore when he left Chang'an City. A golden necklace hangs on his chest, and the pendant part is a beautifully carved pocket watch.Mu Yun guessed that it was some kind of communicator.He saw that Li Jing had been wearing this necklace since he left Chang'an, but he never saw him use it, only occasionally, he saw Li Jing use that pocket watch to check the time.
"Why do you keep dangling in front of me?" Li Jing said, a lark swooped down from his head to refill the wine glass in his hand.Mu Yun noticed that the bird had been circling above his head, almost never leaving him—it must have been the thoughtful arrangement of Butler Ji, or maybe it was just that Li Jing was drinking too fast.
"I'm not full." Mu Yun replied angrily.Although he admitted that the appearance of the birds flying around in the air with the food basket in their mouths is very interesting, but due to the size of the birds themselves, the food baskets they carry usually contain only a piece of pastry - although it is very beautifully made , but that's only enough for one bite.Mu Yun guessed that according to Butler Ji's elegant dining etiquette, everyone should wait patiently for the birds to fly to him according to the time and food intake he calculated before reaching out to eat - in fact, the birds are flocking to eat at this time. Flying away from the hall, their petite figures shuttled in groups among the auspicious clouds, and against the backdrop of the setting sun, they looked like tired birds returning to their nests, forming a beautiful landscape in the sky above the banquet hall.It appears that the butler thinks mealtime is over.The sunlight cast from above the banquet hall gradually dimmed, and the auspicious clouds floating on the ground also dissipated, making room for the dance floor.Mu Yun knew that her movements of waving and dancing in an attempt to intercept the birds flying over his head were not very elegant, and it caused a lot of damage to this beautiful scene of tired birds returning to their nests, which was obviously carefully designed. It's a big spoiler.But he never found elegance a thing worth starving for.Otherwise what can I do?I am also very helpless!Mu Yun vomited secretly in her heart, I am a big man after all, how can I be full with this bit of bird food!
"This bit of bird food is really not enough to fill your stomach, so Lao Zhang, Su Sheng, Xiao Yezi and I have already had a meal in the kitchen beforehand." Li Jing took a sip of wine and said, facing Mu Yun who was full of resentment With small eyes, he added a special sentence, "I didn't call you because you were too deep in sleep. How about it, is your teacher very considerate?"
Thoughtful, you still train me until I can't get up?Mu Yun didn't want to talk, she turned her head away silently, and complained in her heart.Just because he hastily drew his sword in order to save Su Sheng in the Battle of Hongling, which caused his moves to be deformed and out of shape, Li Jing caught him and extended the daily special training time by two hours.Mu Yun is already very depressed from devil training to hell training. What makes him even more upset is that in order to cooperate with the two teams after entering Yinxu, he now has two hours a day It is to train and run-in with the group of knights in Eagle Castle.And they seemed to be quite hostile to him. They called him a traitor from White Horse City, and they always made trouble for him during the training process. This reminded him of the rather unpleasant time in the Northwest Wolf Barracks in the past.
The banquet hall was full of joy, and the young knights walked among the clouds, looking for the girl they liked in the gradually rising moonlight, and prepared to invite her to dance with them.The notes flying in the air also became soft and soothing, the dome of the hall was replaced by a starry sky, and the romantic starlight fell on the dancing crowd, twinkling playfully.But Mu Yun only felt that all of this was extremely boring, just like the group of noble knights dressed up like peacocks, everything was boring.
"I'm going back to the hangar." He simply said to Li Jing.Rather than wasting time at this banquet, watching the peacock-like noble knights flirting with the girls, he would rather ponder how to make the Bright Sword exert its true power, and even watch it a few more times in front of the fireplace in the hangar hall. Chapter "Knight's Travel Record" is also more interesting than standing here stupidly - and Mu Yun always thought that he was the person who was the least lazy to read books.
But at this moment, he saw Xiao Ye walking towards him through the crowd.As the head of the Yingbao Fei family and the highest-ranking woman at the banquet, she just finished the opening dance with King Teng and the young master of the Li family.She held the skirt in one hand, and the black skirt curled around her feet like a dark cloud, covered with starlight, and the diamond earrings shone in her short hair.She fanned the wind with the other hand, panting slightly, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes, which were modified with black eyeliner, looked bigger and brighter.Mu Yun had to admit that when she no longer concealed her face, she was as beautiful as a sharp knife, and anyone who glanced at her would leave deep marks in their hearts.
"Will you ask me to dance?" she asked straight to the point.
"Why?" Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, "You have no shortage of dance partners." He pointed to the surroundings, and the noble youths who followed her footsteps politely kept a distance of two or three steps from them.They pretended to be arranging their clothes or admiring the beautiful scenery, but the corner of their eyes kept glancing this way, secretly observing the progress of their conversation, so that they could come up to invite her immediately after she finished talking with Mu Yun Going to dance—whether they recognized Mu Yun or not, they didn't think Fei Ye would ask him to be a dance partner—not only because of his vulgar attire like a commoner, but also because of the blank expression and stiffness on his face His standing posture also shows that he doesn't enjoy this kind of activity very much.
"Oh, since I became the Patriarch of the Fei family, I have had a whole hall of suitors." Fei Ye glanced behind him and made a face at Mu Yun, "I doubt they saw me digging in the hangar. Will you still want to dance with me after seeing your feet?"
You're cute even when you pick your feet.Mu Yun said silently in his heart, he was not stupid enough to say this, but in Xiao Ye Zi's view, the way he looked down at her toes in a daze seemed to acquiesce to her point of view.She nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "But I think even if I am a sow who picks my feet, they should come to please me first, after all, I am now the head of the Fei family."
She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Some of them are pretty cute, but I'm exhausted today, I've heard enough sweet words, and I don't want to repeat the proper responses taught to me by the housekeeper again and again Yes. If I had to say again thank you for your kindness sir but I already have an appointment tonight and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow as well maybe the next time I will just tear off this damn heavy and stumbling skirt Started yelling and swearing, and this made the housekeeper very angry, because he took a lot of thought to dress me up as a noble lady. In his opinion, because Xiao Teng Wang didn't bring a female companion, I was half a daughter of this banquet Master, if I slipped in the middle of the bath, I would ruin the party, and he will never allow this to happen. He just stood there, and with my bath water, it will always turn halfway through the bath. Threatening me with cold water, you know that the entire water supply system of Tengwang Pavilion is controlled by his precious brain, right?"
She talked a lot, then looked at Mu Yun who was bewildered, and smiled sweetly at him, "Anyway, you just invite me to dance, since you don't like to talk anyway, let's dance quietly , Just dance like this all night, without saying anything. As a friend, you always have to help, right?" She took Mu Yun's arm, approached him and said, "Don't worry about me stepping on your feet, everyone Everyone said that I danced very well." Without waiting for Mu Yun to answer, she smiled at him again, and at the same time lifted the hem of her skirt, and turned around lightly, "Now I'm going to get myself a drink, we'll wait See you at the bar."
"Okay." Mu Yun said.
After a while he came back to himself.
"Hey, wait..." Mu Yun stood where he was, the scent of the girl's body, the warm touch of her slender fingers on his wrist, the flying skirt, the swirling stars and the melodious dance music, all of which overwhelmed her. He was so dizzy that he could barely catch what she was saying.It wasn't until he met the envious eyes of the knights around him that he realized that he had just promised Xiao Yezi to dance with her all night?
This is the rhythm of fighting against the knights in the entire hall!
Mu Yun's expression didn't change, his heart was beating fast.
"Women are always very good at using all kinds of excuses to achieve their goals..." Li Jing, who was standing beside Mu Yun, shook his head, watching Xiao Ye Zi's back pouring down a glass of wine, "Speaking of which, You don't seem to know how to dance?"
"I was discovered by you." Mu Yun said with a straight face.If there's anything more boring than a party it's dancing at it.When he was in Baima City, Mu Chuan also tried to teach him how to dance, but he refused.He never understood what pleasure there was in a man and a woman circling the hall. "I'd better go back to the hangar." Mu Yun muttered in a low voice, he felt the temperature in the whole hall suddenly rise several degrees, and his neck had already started to sweat.
"Running in battle is not what a man should do. What's more, as a knight, you just agreed to a lady's request. If you can't do it, it's against the spirit of chivalry." Li Jing said seriously.
Things like chivalry come out of Li Jing's mouth... Mu Yun is still not used to it: "Get to the point."
"The point is, the consequences of offending a woman are terrible." Li Jing said, "Based on my experience and lessons, if you promise a woman one thing but fail to do it, then she will always talk about it in the future , and you need to promise her more things to get her to shut up."
It looks like you really have a lot of experience!Mu Yun groaned silently in his heart, "I can't dance." He emphasized it again.
"Small point," Li Jing said, "It's just dancing. It's not more difficult than the seven moves of the sword. With your comprehension and your teacher's guidance, it's absolutely no problem to memorize a set of dance steps within 5 minutes."
"Are you going to teach me how to dance?" Mu Yun's eyes widened. "Now? Here?"
"Surprised, isn't it?" Li Jing put down his wine glass and stretched his muscles, "You know, there is nothing a teacher can't do except having children, so let me teach you how to make a girl dizzy I can only rely on your arms to find support if I can't breathe!"
Mu Yun's eyes widened again, and after confirming that the person standing in front of him was really Li Jing and not King Teng, he immediately became vigilant: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"
It's not that he doubts Li Jing's dancing skills, but because of Li Jing's lazy personality, if he can lie down, he will never sit, and if he can sit, he will never stand. Even if he is standing, he must find a place to lean on and don't preach After dancing, the one who can invite him to dance a few steps must be the lady in the Daming Palace, right?
Even if he is Li Jing's apprentice, even if Li Jing is still very particular about teaching riding skills, it's because this guy still has a place for him. As for life...just look at Su Sheng, he's a great northerner Prince Wang doesn't have the slightest aristocratic temperament in his body, he is completely a street gangster, this is the result of Li Jing's education.
"Hehe, what's the purpose of such a trivial thing as teaching the apprentice how to dance and pick up girls? Naturally, it shows the master's care and love for the apprentice." Li Jing said without blushing at all. Standing there monotonously, you are not lonely, you are still a young man, you can enjoy yourself when you can, and live like an old man, is it interesting?"
"Interesting." Mu Yun was unmoved, "And you, to be honest, don't keep talking nonsense."
"You actually talk to me like that. It seems that I really don't discipline you too much." Li Jing shook his head, took a look at Mu Yun's ugly face, and said, "Actually, there is no special purpose, just The banquet ball is a traditional way of socializing for noble lords, and it is also the best occasion for them to gather together to spy on each other, exchange information and decide who is an ally and who is an enemy. Dancing as a noble is equivalent to a necessary skill. If you want to pretend to be If you are an aristocrat, if you are involved in a ball, then you must master this skill."
"So which ball do you want me to pretend to be a nobleman?" Mu Yun asked blankly.
"Naturally, it's Teng Wengong's ball." Li Jing said, "Do you still remember that I took care of the matter of finding out the identity of Teng Wengong's female military adviser Thirteen for you? According to my original plan, let Lao Zhang's It is most suitable for people to do this. Most of the members of the Rose Knights are civilians from Donglin. Among them, there are bandits and thieves. Even in the castle city, they have their own intelligence network. Through their channels, It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a few relatives and friends who work in the castle tower, such as guards or kitchen helpers, and sneak into the castle tower with their help.”
"It's just that Teng Wengong's Tianshou Pavilion is not so easy to get in. Although we got the structure diagram of the Tianshou Pavilion from King Teng, we found that Teng Wengong was very vigilant. The guards and servants of the entire castle tower were replaced by Ruizu and servants. They all have a special identification system. It is impossible to pretend to be guards or servants to sneak into the castle tower. The only way to enter the castle tower The best opportunity is the feast before entering the Yin Ruins."
Wouldn’t it be enough to leave this difficult and high-risk task to you?Mu Yun really wanted to say that, but thinking that Li Jing had just recovered from his injury not long ago, he felt a little embarrassed to speak up.Speaking of which, from the beginning of Spring Hunting to the present, except for the sword that Li Jing said was "unsightly" in the Battle of Hongling, it seems that I haven't done much, right?If he continues to play soy sauce like this, his position as the protagonist will be lost. Speaking of which, Huayan seems to be a good opportunity to perform...
I don't know if Li Jing has guessed Mu Yun's careful thoughts, but he coughed a few times, and then said: "Our plan is to take advantage of the feast in three days' time to get into the castle tower. Put a signal catcher in it. Since the master of Shisan is not Teng Wengong, she will definitely get in touch with her real master, so as long as we can capture her communication signal, we will be able to know which faction is hiding behind Teng Wengong. power."
"According to the structure diagram of the castle tower provided by King Xiaoteng, the system terminal of the tower is located on the second floor underground. In addition to the automatic defense system, there are also three teams of sharp guards patrolling and guarding. King Xiaoteng and Butler Ji are of course qualified to attend the banquet , but even if Butler Ji can solve the automatic defense system, it is unrealistic to break through the guards of the three sharp guards without attracting attention with King Teng's skill. As for Lao Zhang, although there are also thieves with good skills , but after all, they are just small-time thieves, and it is too reluctant to pretend to be a nobleman and sneak into a banquet of this size without being stage-frightened. So I discussed with Lao Zhang that this task is still handed over to It is more suitable for you and Xiao Yezi. As the head of the Yingbao Fei family, she is absolutely qualified to participate in the Dongjun Banquet. You enter the Huayan Banquet as her male companion, and Ji Butler will cooperate with you to fix the surveillance system and automatic defense system. But how to quietly break through the defense of the three teams of sharp soldiers is up to you, how about it, is there any difficulty?"
"It's very difficult." Mu Yun said honestly, the difficulty is not how to break through the defense of the three teams of Rui soldiers, but how to break through the defense of the three teams of Rui soldiers without being discovered, and enter the underground terminal of the castle tower , "Can I take the snow girl?" he asked.
"Yes." Li Jing said, "As an aristocrat, it's very strange not to have any servants from the Rui clan or servants around you. You can think about the specific plan slowly. There are still three days, you If there is any equipment that needs to be prepared, you can ask the butler Ji, and if you need the manpower Lao Zhang can also arrange it."
"As for now," Li Jing took Mu Yun's hand and put it on his waist, leaning into his arms, "The most urgent thing is to teach you how to dance as soon as possible. First learn the dance steps with me, and then you can You've started practicing with Xiao Ye Zi, after such a night of special training, you shouldn't be ashamed at the banquet, right?"
Let’s not talk about whether I will be ashamed at the Chinese banquet, but am I not ashamed now!Mu Yun's heart was filled with grief and indignation, he and Li Jing, two big men hugging each other in circles, almost became a scene in the hall.The young knights who had cast envious and jealous glances at him before were all looking at him with strange and friendly eyes, apparently having classified his identity from the rival in love to Xiao Yezi's "best friend" This column is gone, and the whispers of "I didn't expect them to be a couple" and "It turned out that the number one knight in the world was so good at that time" are even more endless.While Mu Yun hugged Li Jing and continued to circle around expressionlessly, her heart was broken.
"Don't have a generous expression on your face, put your arms around my waist tighter, and look at me softly, what's with your murderous eyes?" Li Jing was still babbling, "toe toe Forward 45 degrees, keeping the center of gravity on the right leg, now circle at three o'clock, move two positions to the left, pay attention to the stability of the core of the torso, now circle at nine o'clock—huh?"
Li Jing stopped dancing suddenly, and Mu Yun thought that one of her feet was wrong again, but she heard Li Jing say: "Master, I suddenly feel unwell. It seems that I have relapsed from an old problem. Let's stop here first. Anyway. You have almost memorized the dance steps, you will find Xiao Yezi to continue practicing tonight, and I will go back to rest first."
Li Jing left as soon as he said, and before he left, he pushed Mu Yun in front of Xiao Ye Zi, and said, "I'll leave this guy to you, you young people practice hard, don't be lazy!"
Why practice hard and don't be lazy!The romantic feeling of blushing and beating when you thought of dancing with a girl before you said that is all gone, okay?This time it really became a special training!Also, has this old problem of yours been recurring too frequently recently? Why is it that you don’t blush or breathe, and you don’t even cough once before you make it again?Even if you want to find an excuse to get away, you should go for a snack anyway?
Mu Yun was making a series of complaints in her heart, but saw that Xiao Ye Zi didn't mind at all, and stretched out her hands to him with a smile.The eyes of the whole hall were focused on the two of them, and the butler Ji specially moved a beam of moonlight to hit them. Mu Yun also had to catch Xiao Yezi's hands, bowed his knees slightly, and followed the re-played The music starts to dance.
But Li Jing had already passed through the crowd in the hall at this moment, and disappeared to nowhere.
Although it was the first time in Mu Yun's life that he held the girl's small palm with one hand and the girl's slender waist with the other, he could feel the heat from the girl's delicate and warm skin even through a layer of fabric, let alone the two of them. While moving with the music, each other's bodies would rub against each other slightly from time to time, and as long as Mu Yun lowered his head slightly, he could see the girl's beautiful face raised up, her own figure reflected in her bright eyes, And the girl's breasts, which were set off by gauze lace, were dancing gently with the dance steps of the two... But at this time, Mu Yun found that he was a little absent-minded.
"You have something on your mind." Xiao Ye Zi, who had been stepped on several times by Mu Yun, finally couldn't help but said.
"Yeah." Mu Yun said honestly.Although he always felt that what Li Jing said was an excuse to take the opportunity to get out, but just now Li Jing left too suddenly, and he left in a hurry, and Mu Yun was a little worried: Could it be that guy? Did the hidden disease really break out suddenly?Or is it that the guy didn't heal from his injury last time, but he just held on until now and couldn't hold it anymore?
Although Mu Yun said that he had never called Li Jing as a master, and he didn't want Su Sheng to obedience and admiration to Li Jing, but after all, from Chang'an all the way to Donglin, we got along for so many days. No, Mu Yun is really not such a person, I just want him to admit that he is worried about Li Jing. Shrewd, most people worry about Li Jing because they are worried that they will be cheated by him. How can anyone worry about him when they are full?
"That's your master. If you're worried, just go and have a look." Mu Yun was frowning, but Xiao Ye Zi looked at him with a smile and said, "You look like a desert It’s as cold and hard as the stones in it, but it’s actually quite gentle inside.”
"A friend of mine said the same thing in the past." Mu Yun said in a daze.
"Then go." Xiao Yezi said, just like she usually talked to Mu Yun with her feet crossed and playing with a dagger in the hangar, she lightly kicked Mu Yun with her toe, "I will wait for you here of."
"En." Mu Yun said.
For some reason, Xiao Yezi's words reminded him of Baima City in the northwest desert.
He was originally an orphan, without father or mother, and he didn't even have a name.
Just like Xiao Yezi said, he is like a stone in the desert, a humble, small, silent existence.The only time he was noticed was when he landed on someone else's foot, and then he was kicked away inadvertently.
Then he met Mu Chuan, the young master of Baima City, a very bad knight.
But this poor knight saved his life, befriended him, and gave him his surname.
So he became Mu Yun, Mu Yun of Baima City.
Until the White Horse City broke down, he lost his only friend.
Mu Yun from Baima City has become Mu Yun, the traitor of Baima City that people say.
When he was in Chang'an City, he lost his battle armor Xifeng again—the battle armor that Mu Chuan once drove was the only thing he left in this world. The wolf master of Canglang redeemed the battle armor Zephyr.
At that time, he thought he had nothing left.
Until now, he is still penniless, and he still owes Li Jing two gold pounds.
But he found that he suddenly had friends again, someone who would worry him, someone who would fight with him, and someone who would wait for him to come back.
This made him a little moved, a little sad, and a little regretful.
Because he suddenly discovered that dancing is actually a very interesting thing, and he is actually looking forward to dancing with Xiao Yezi.
Even the embarrassing experience of dancing with Li Jing will become an interesting memory in the future.
"I'll go see him."
He said to Xiao Yezi and walked out of the banquet hall.
The corridor was very quiet, the floor was covered with real woolen carpet, people walked on it quietly, there were faint chatter and laughter coming from the smoking room, but Li Jing was not there.
Mu Yun looked towards the end of the corridor, where there were several fully transparent viewing elevators for guests, and the numbers showing the floors were constantly changing.Many guests who come to Tengwang Pavilion for the first time like to climb high and look far away, and appreciate what it feels like to stand on the tallest building in Yongjiang City and look down.
At the other end of the corridor is the elevator used by Xiao Teng Wang personally, and the number showing the floor stays on the first floor of the underground hangar.
Xiao Teng Wang and others are still in the banquet hall, and the authority of this elevator is only available to those who are currently living in the Teng Wang Pavilion in order to prepare for the spring hunting.
Li Jing is the only one who will go to the underground hangar at this time.
It's just that if Li Jing really had an old illness, why would he go to the underground hangar instead of going back to the bedroom to take a good rest?
Speaking of which, what's wrong with this guy, can't you find a doctor to take a good look at it?
Could it be that at this age, Li Jing is still a master who avoids diseases and doctors, and takes medicine for fear of suffering?
Mu Yun pressed the button leading to the underground hangar, thinking that if Li Jing was caught sick this time, he would have to be treated for his illness, and he should not be spoiled like this anymore, lest he keep using a bad illness as an excuse, Instructing myself to do this and that is annoying.
There are still some diseases that cannot be cured by the medical skills on the Pangu Continent today, and most of them are people who can't die even if they want to die.
Mu Yun thought wildly all the way, and walked into the hangar hall.
The lights were on in the hangar hall, and the round table in the center of the hall was still as messy as it was before they left, with cups and model materials that Li Jing took casually to demonstrate the battle situation. It seemed that even the butler Ji was too busy to clean it.Mu Yun saw Li Jing's coat on the back of a chair beside the table, but Li Jing was not in the hangar lobby.
"Where did this guy go..."
Mu Yun muttered softly.The scope of the underground hangar is very large. On the first floor alone, there are three major areas: the hangar hall, the prototype hangar and the assembly workshop. The prototype hangar and the assembly workshop are located on the left and right sides of the hangar hall, and there is a passage in the middle.There are no workers here. When Xiao Teng Wang builds the armor, he is assisted by the butler Ji who controls the mechanical arm.The floor of the hall is covered with sound-absorbing industrial carpets, and even the heavy old military boots on Mu Yun's feet can't hear a sound when they step on them.Under the white lighting, the empty hangar lobby looked extraordinarily quiet.
Wait, lighting... Mu Yun, who was planning to turn around and go back to the elevator, suddenly realized that the underground hangar was too large. The most important is the automatic induction lighting system.The lights in the hangar hall were still on, indicating that Li Jing was in the hangar hall just now.
And before he came down, the lift had been parked on the first floor of the underground hangar, which meant that Li Jing was still here.
Mu Yun frowned. The left and right sides of the hangar hall, the prototype hangar and the assembly workshop were all pitch black. Even if Li Jing was there, he turned off the lighting system in that area. What did the black lights want to do?
Is it...
Mu Yun remembered that Su Sheng seemed to have mentioned that when Li Jing was seriously ill, no one was allowed to approach him.Su Sheng said quite aggrievedly that they were still in Chang'an City. When Li Jing fell ill, he locked himself in the back room of the machine repair shop by himself and did not come out for a whole night. He quickly called the doctor, and the doctor wanted to break in to treat Li Jing, but he and Su Sheng were scolded bloody by Li Jing, and forced to drive the doctor away through the door.
Li Jing ran to the ground because he was embarrassed by his illness and didn't want to be seen, turned off the lights and hid in the dark?
Mu Yun felt a little nervous when he thought about it.
Although Li Jing manually turned off the lighting system, the safety lights in the passage leading to the prototype hangar were still on.Perhaps even Li Jing hadn't noticed that all the aisle induction lighting systems in the Tengwang Pavilion, including the underground, were directly controlled by the butler Ji, and they couldn't be turned off manually.
That guy must be in the prototype hangar.
During this month, Mu Yun and others often entered the assembly workshop, and provided various parameters for the use of Xiao Teng Wang when he customized the armor for them. This prototype hangar was only visited on the day when he first arrived at Teng Wang Pavilion. One time, fortunately, Butler Ji kept the prototype hangar very tidy, unlike the small Tengwang style of the assembly workshop where materials were piled up everywhere, without even a place to step down.Taking advantage of the glimmer of light from the air vents, Mu Yun walked through the rows of tall battle armor in the dark without making any movement.
He finally found Li Jing behind the last row of armor.
Seeing Li Jing standing there in good order, Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.He was thinking about how to explain that he didn't practice dancing with Xiao Yezi in the banquet hall, but he chased Li Jing all the way here so that he wouldn't be embarrassed - he couldn't just admit that he was worried about this guy, could he?
At this moment, he turned around the row of battle armor and realized that Li Jing was not alone.
Directly in front of him was another man, tall and well-built, wearing a richly colored brocade robe that hung down to his instep, and a pair of loose white silk trousers tied around his waist with the same gorgeous brocade between, revealing a honey-colored chest.A head of thick curly hair covers his forehead, his cheeks are narrow and long, sharp like a knife, his chin is sharp, his eyes are very black and bright, with ghost green faintly around his pupils, like appearing silently in the desert The wolf quietly stared at his prey, making the person who stared at him creepy.But when he laughed out loud, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, he looked extraordinarily hearty and friendly.
Mu Yun suddenly realized that he knew this man, even though he had seen this man only a handful of times, he did remember this face.He remembered the smile on this face when the White Horse City was broken, the snow-white teeth gleaming under the firelight, just like a wolf in the desert seeing its fallen prey, he should never forget this face.
Because this face belongs to the wolf lord of the Northwest Canglang, Liang Yuecheng.
