I Honor

: Qionghua Banquet

August is high in autumn, the air is cool and the water is clear, the wind is pleasant and the fruits are abundant. It is a good time for outings and relaxation, and the Qionghua Banquet has finally arrived.

Meng Qi and Su Ziyu did not go directly to Yulin Garden in the outer city like most of the important court officials and children of aristocratic families, but followed Su Li and Su Yue to the imperial city. , but did not lose the trust of the emperor, and still needs to be accompanied, and Su Yue is the intermediate force to protect the emperor.

The heavy dragon-patterned gate, the deep door opening, the oncoming draft, and a little bit of cold air made Meng Qi feel the majesty and alienation of the imperial city.

This is the first time he has stepped into the imperial city of Jin Dynasty, but except for the terrible restraining power, there is no substantial difference from the imperial palace in the world of the sword emperor and demon queen, and the people’s worship of power and emperor is no different.

“Uncle Wu, do you have any clues about Luojiao and Xianji recently?” Meng Qi pretended to ask casually, he was a little worried that Luojiao and Mietianmen would destroy the Qionghua Banquet.

Su Yue smiled wryly and said: “No, they seem to have evaporated from the world. It’s strange to say that the identity of the Yu family has been exposed, but the Luojiao people still hide without a trace.”

“This kind of cult that has been passed down for many generations must be three caves, no, at least nine caves, otherwise it would have been wiped out by the righteous way.” Su Li looked at the front and said casually.

Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully, and will find a chance to ask Guangcheng Tianzun later.

The imperial city is very large, all paved with white jade, not for luxury, but for formation. Meng Qi followed Su Li and Su Yue, passed through the imperial city and entered the palace city. Zhao Mingyu, the Lord of Jin.

Compared with the last time we met, Zhao Mingyu was a little older, with sagging bags under his eyes, showing obvious fatigue, but Su Li and Su Yue turned a blind eye to this, as if they took it for granted.

After saluting each other, the old emperor looked at Meng Qi with a smile: “Don’t let me down at the Qionghua banquet today.”

“If it’s martial arts, it will surely live up to the trust of the emperor.” Meng Qi was not modest at all.

For the reincarnation task, I have to get the first place

Not to mention Su Zi’s boastful wish

“Haha, as expected of Crazy Saber.” The old emperor stretched out his hand, wrapped around the arm of an older eunuch, and slowly stood up.

This eunuch was extremely yin, not a ghostly yin, but a soft and cold yin. Although he was old, his skin was delicate, like a woman. The strength is hidden in the depths, it’s hard to see, but just by his gaze, Meng Qi has the feeling that his soul has been pricked by countless fine needles.

It was Gao Jinzhong and Meng Qi, the general manager, who recalled Su Li’s introduction before departure.

Everyone stood on both sides, waiting for the emperor and Gao Jinzhong to pass by. The commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace and Feilong Shenzhang followed closely behind, followed by Su Li, Su Yue and others, and finally Meng Qi, Su Yue and others. Su Ziyu and other few descendants of aristocratic families.

When he was about to step out of the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, Meng Qi suddenly felt a heat in his chest. The footsteps stopped immediately.

Gu Xiaosang

This is the talisman fever given by Doumu Yuanjun

Is Gu Xiaosang nearby?

Meng Qi lowered his eyes to cover his constricted pupils, and looked at the Tai Chi Hall without any trace, only seeing a mighty and majestic guard. There was no sign of Gu Xiaosang at all.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Fu Zhuan’s fever continued, Meng Qi would have thought he was hallucinating

Gu Xiaosang actually hid in the palace

The most dangerous place is the safest place

No wonder the six doors can’t be found

Meng Qi felt turbulent in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, pretending not to notice it. He just glanced back as if nothing had happened when he stepped out of the Tai Chi Hall.

It was quiet inside, and the guards were as straight as a pine. The throne is golden and noble, surrounded by nine dragons, standing tall, no one sits on it.

Is it a witch trick, or is she really here

If it is true, who helped her hide in the palace

is it someone big here

Many doubts were unclear, so Meng Qi didn’t expose them, so as not to fall into a trap, and followed the front team honestly.

Outside the palace city, Liu Shengming and Yuan Lihuo led many guards and head arresters to meet them, and then guarded the periphery, in a clear order.

When passing by Yuan Lihuo, Meng Qi spread out his right hand to reveal the talisman, and quietly pointed to the palace behind him with his left hand.

There was no verbal communication, but Yuan Lihuo’s expression changed slightly. As Guangcheng Tianzun, he naturally knew that the talisman drawn by a wild Taoist refers to Gu Xiaosang.

Gu Xiaosang is hiding in the palace

Luo taught everyone to hide in the palace

His expression recovered, and he looked back calmly, inspecting the arrangement of the team.

Outside the imperial city, Sima Shi waited in person, rode his horse and drove alongside the emperor’s chariot.

After the news got out, Meng Qi felt relieved.Adjust your mood, and slowly climb your own momentum and state to the peak.

It’s fine to deal with the Qionghua Banquet by yourself, and leave the other things to Xianji, and the sky is falling because a tall man will hold it up

Yulin Garden is located in the northeast of the outer city, close to the canal. The river in the city is full of twists and turns.

Inside, strange trees and auspicious flowers are everywhere, fragrant and fruity. There are lakes and rivers, mountains and forests, and various wild animals are seen from time to time.

Outside the gate of the garden, important officials of the imperial court and the children of the aristocratic families lined up on both sides to greet them. The first dozen or so people did not kneel down, and they were all representatives of the top aristocratic families. Song Shouren, Patriarch of the Song family in Luyang, etc.

There are usually eleven people in the Dajin Political Affairs Hall, with Shangshu Zuo Pushe as the prime minister, who is usually the person of the strongest family at that time. This generation is controlled by the Cui family, and the uncles of Cui Qinghe and Cui Qingyu are also the masters. , Shangshu Youpushe is the second prime minister, and several top aristocratic families take turns to be in charge.

In general, there is always one of the eight top aristocratic families in the political affairs hall. For example, after an old man from the Wang family of Zhou County returned to his hometown, Wang Wenxian was naturally replaced as a political counselor, and because of the emperor’s trust, he also served as the secretary of the household department. For example, Ruan Kang, the ninth grandfather of Ruan Yushu, has the title of a political advisor, and is the representative of the Ruan family in Langya in Shendu.

The remaining three places belong to the Zhao family, the capital of the gods, or arrange for masters and strong men, or introduce courtiers loyal to the emperor, just like the chief arrester of the six sects, Sima Shi.

For those who did not kneel down, apart from the eleven members of the Zhengshitang, there were also Cui Qingyu and other top aristocratic patriarchs or important members.

As Meng Qi, he naturally couldn’t stand in the front row and had nothing to do in the back. Suddenly, his eyes froze because the prince was accompanied by two monks. Not dyed, it is the Buddha’s heart palm Xuanzhen, he has already stepped into the half-step location and is listed on the list

Little Martial Uncle and the Crown Prince all the way. This is Shaolin’s stance, to support the Crown Prince together with other Buddhist sects. This is an extremely important bargaining chip.

The three Dharma Bodies of the Great Jin Dynasty, except for the Kailuo Teaching Dharma King, one is Cui Qinghe, the Ziqi Haoran, and the other is the Dragon Subduing Arhat Kongwen

Is Qingxiu Shaolin finally getting involved in worldly disputes?

It wasn’t just him, the corners of the emperor’s eyes also twitched, Su Li, Su Yue and the others’ faces darkened, this was a situation that the previous six doors hadn’t grasped

It was a thunderbolt that exploded on the ground

Next to the prince was another monk in his thirties, wearing a plain robe and turning rosary beads. His facial features were gentle, his face was delicate, his mouth was tightly closed, and his eyes were looking at the ground, as if he was worried about hurting ants. Meng Qi could only slightly judge that he was a man of heaven. The realm of unity, but I don’t know his identity.

Jin Wang Zhao Yi’s face was slightly gloomy, and Yan Chong, the “river of saber spirit” followed behind him.

Zhao Heng’s face was as usual, and next to him was a guest official in the mansion. He was close to fifty years old and seemed to have no one under his command.

The rest of Zijijian Cui Zhe, martial arts champion Fan Changmiao, Ruan Yushu from the Ruan family, Wang Zai from the Wang family, Huanhua Qi Zhengyan, etc. are all in the welcoming team.

While Meng Qi’s eyes were shifting, he suddenly collided with someone.

“Bai Qigu” is Bai Lianxiang, who is good-looking and mature, with above-average appearance. She came in relying on the elders of the Bai family who worked in the court.

Bai Qigu nodded slightly, her eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if she really wanted to weigh Meng Qi as the leader of the list

Sheng drove into Yulin Garden, and everyone sat on a high platform. Below it was the gurgling river, the flat land on the bank and the mirror lake, and the fruity forest in the distance.

The high platform where Meng Qi stayed was the Wang family of Zhou County and several other aristocratic families of the gods, and it was another salute.

“It’s not been long, brother Zai is close to the unity of man and nature. Congratulations.” Meng Qi smiled and cupped his hands.

Wang Zai’s Chinese character face was slightly darkened, as if he had been exposed to the sun and rain, and he smiled back: “How can you, Xiaomeng, make rapid progress, and the harmony between man and nature has been achieved in a short period of time.”

“Everyone’s path is different.” Meng Qi chatted with Wang Zai and sat down, listening to the emperor’s polite words.

After some red tape, the old emperor said with a chuckle, “I am overjoyed to hear that a large number of talented people have emerged recently, so I have this banquet in Qionghua to see talented people.”

“I have four questions, and I invite everyone to compete for victory.”

“The first one, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the way of excellence, cultivates the temperament, polishes the soul, I don’t know who can be called the first among the handsome ones”

The corners of Meng Qi’s mouth twitched when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that Qionghua’s boasting before the banquet was a bit awkward. If there was no martial arts competition, what else could he do?

Wang Zai nodded and said with a smile, “Xiao Meng has talent.”

“Does whistling count?” Meng Qi twitched his face.

Wang Zai said solemnly: “If you can blow it so that all birds sing together, and the fairy music responds, it will be counted.”

The two asked and answered, which drew smiles from the corners of the mouths of several people nearby.
