But I'm a male fox

"unnecessary!"

The girl blushed, pushed Li Cheng away, secretly lucked out, and regained her spirits: "My girl is just distracted! You read the book quickly, I'm going to teach moves after reading it... Could it be that you want to be lazy? ?"

"OK!"

Li Cheng was grateful, but he didn't expose Xiao Wan'er's lie. He just smiled slightly, put on a posture, and shouted: "Please enlighten me, Master!"

One person and one fox practice martial arts like this until the afternoon...

A servant came to the door and said that Cao Yueying had something to ask Li Cheng to go back.

Only then did Li Cheng bid farewell to Xiao Wan'er, took a casual shower, and immediately got into the car and returned to Cao's Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Cao Yueying wearing a gorgeous dark blue toga, embroidered with birds and animals that Li Cheng didn't know, which set off her already beautiful face even more imposingly.

"This is......"

"The official uniform of the deputy commander."

Cao Yueying smiled and explained: "The king of Hunhe is going to hold a banquet tonight, and he invited me to attend, saying that he wants to apologize for what happened yesterday. I think maybe I should take you and Weitong with me. Are you okay?"

In other words, can you enter the palace openly?

what!

Li Cheng immediately cupped his hands and said, "It's absolutely fine!"

"Well, I have prepared a new set of clothes for you, you can go and try..."

Chapter 130

With the help of the maid, Li Cheng changed into a set of gorgeous clothes with the same color scheme as Cao Yueying. The clothes were cumbersome and heavy, and it also came with a belt inlaid with gold and jade, which was a bit awkward-but the figure was unexpectedly very good. .

He curled his lips, scratching this and that, and murmured: "Uncomfortable."

"After you and I go out, we can't embarrass our lord." Wei Tong, who had already changed his clothes, stood at the door, saw that Li Cheng looked like a monkey, and couldn't help frowning: "You... restrain yourself."

"Good to say~"

Li Cheng puffed out his chest and retracted his stomach, and shook his neck: "Although it's uncomfortable, it looks really good."

More than good...

Li Cheng's appearance was already outstanding, but now that he put on such a set of carefully selected clothes, the eyes of all the maids in Cao's mansion would fall out.

When Cao Yueying saw Li Wei and Li Wei came out, she couldn't help smiling.

Although it would be superficial to say it out, which woman doesn't want a handsome man behind her?

Surrounded by the guards, the three of them boarded two carriages and drove to the distant street.

Hunhe Palace is also located in the west of the city.

But when Li Cheng saw the towering wall that stretched without end, he realized that this palace was fundamentally different from Miss Cao's.

The latter is just a five-entry house, while the former is simply a park in the city center!

The waist of the corridor is unadorned, and the eaves and teeth are pecked high, which is no longer an exaggeration.

The carriage stopped, and the servants of the palace came up to greet him warmly and respectfully.

Cao Yueying got off the car and walked in the front, Li Cheng and Wei Tong followed side by side, and entered the gate of the palace together - as for the other guards and servants, they were led into the side courtyard by the servants to entertain them.

After more than ten steps, they finally arrived at the main venue of the banquet.

Then Li Cheng was almost blinded by the colorful lights.

Take a closer look.

Ten large coral trees about ten feet high stand around the wide hall, and each twig emits fluorescence, white, red, yellow, and pink, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day.

Clearly, these coral trees are anything but ordinary.

He couldn't help sighing: "It feels like a neon light..."

Weitong asked in a low voice: "What is a neon light?"

"It's nothing."

As a traveler who has experienced light pollution for a long time, Li Cheng quickly adapted, and his expression was as usual.

In the middle of the hall, next to the pillar that is difficult for one person to hold, there are four long rows of symmetrical tables.

Cao Yueying was sitting in the first row near the aisle, and her left and right were either senior officials wearing similar styles of official uniforms, or children from aristocratic families dressed in jewels.

And Li Cheng and Wei Tong sat behind her, surrounded by some personal guards or followers.

Cao Yueying quickly attracted people from left and right to chat, most of them were compliments, some were less about discussing court affairs, and the eldest lady responded with a smile.

Li Cheng also attracted many people, such as a pair of sisters sitting diagonally across from him, winking at him while whispering.

Wei Tong lowered his head and reminded: "Those two are the legitimate daughters of the Wang family."

"What kind of family is the Wang family?"

"Anyway... it's just a big family. I advise you not to get in touch with them too much. They have practiced some evil skills. Not to mention they like to keep male pets in captivity, and they never have a sense of restraint..."

Guys, this is something to stay away from!

Li Cheng quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at his lord again.

Because of the big difference in height, he was condescending at the moment, and he happened to be able to see Cao Yueying's jade-like collarbone hidden under her collar, looming...

Hiss, feeling a little guilty.

Then just take a second look.

"Everyone!"

Finally, the host of the banquet ushered in his destined old ass.

King Hunhe is over 60 years old this year, with a dark and thin face, a bit over-indulgent, but he is full of air when he speaks.

After he sat down, he said some words that sounded very unnutritious to Li Cheng, and then waved his hand, calling four dancers to come over and dance in the aisle between the two rows of tables.

All the guests also echoed and laughed, and let go of eating and drinking.

Li Cheng observed Queen Hunhe for a while, but his eyes moved to the four dancers. They had collars on their necks and iron cuffs on their hands and feet, but they still danced gracefully, and their cat ears swayed with the music... ...

Those are real cat ears.

In this Hunhe Prince's Mansion, not to mention raising monsters, it was still open at the banquet?

But if you think about it, there shouldn't be any lack of monster energy in this palace, so you won't be sensitive to it...

Li Cheng glanced at the other guests around him again, and found that everyone was not surprised.

Some people took out a few paper bags from their arms, which contained some kind of green and red powder.

They bowed their heads and inhaled it into their lungs, and suddenly their whole body twitched, sweating profusely, and a look of refreshment appeared on their faces, and they waved their hands and feet like crazy ghosts, knocking over the plates full of expensive food to the ground.

What a wild dance of demons.

I don't know what Liu Shishi would say if she saw this scene...

It's no wonder that when she said goodbye to Xiao Wan'er before, the girl heard about the palace banquet, her face was full of disgust...

For a moment, Li Cheng suddenly thought of the sister's family last night. It was cold but there was no firewood.

Thinking of Zhu Chongxiu and the snake catcher near Baima City...

Gee.

He suppressed all kinds of emotions and looked around the hall, trying to remember the height of the wall and the direction of the passage.

If he could, he'd want an excuse to go to the toilet for a while, and then wander around.

But at this time, King Hunhe raised his wine glass and came straight to Cao Yueying, saying: "Yesterday, those bastards in my family ran into Mr. Cao, and I will make amends for them..."

Cao Yueying stood up neither humble nor overbearing and said: "How can you be so kind to such a trivial matter? You can write it off..."

"Haha, it's so good!"

Seeing that the guests and hosts were having a good time, they heard two bangs and bangs, and something happened suddenly!

It turned out that two small clay pots were thrown into the aisle from nowhere, and they shattered suddenly, emitting a huge amount of smoke, covering the entire hall!

"Ouch!"

"what?"

"Protect the king!"

Suddenly, in a panic, Cao Yueying got up suddenly, pulled Li Cheng and Wei Tong to her body, and whispered, "Don't leave me too far..."

That's right, in Miss Cao's eyes, although the two disciples are tall, they have no cultivation, and they are the ones who need to be protected.

Li Cheng laughed dumbfounded, and accepted the kindness with peace of mind.

As soon as he raised his nose, he knew that the smoke was not poisonous, and he had never heard any abnormal noise in his ears, so he deduced that there was no danger at this moment.

Sure enough, the smoke cleared, all the guests in the hall were there, most of them were fine, only two people were injured, but they were accidentally trampled on by others just now.

But to say that there is no change at all is not necessarily the case.

But he saw an arrow sticking out of the table in front of the chief seat, with white silk tied to the end of the arrow.

King Hunhe's face was ashen, and he asked people to take down the silk book and spread it out to read.

Li Cheng's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the words written on it:

【King Hunhe, you have done so many injustices, my young master, I want to do justice for the heavens!Tonight, take away the black pearl from your house! 】

Signed, "Pirate" Xia Baiyutang.

...Oh, the reason for using quotation marks is because the pirated word is wrong.

..................

Chapter 130 The Second Dove, But Not Completely

White jade...sugar?

This name sounds very sweet.

Because he encountered something he didn't understand, Li Cheng immediately looked at Weitong with his big round eyes.

Wei Tong was stared at uncomfortably, and explained in a low voice: "About the beginning of the year, there was such a thief in the capital who only robbed rich families and left a letter before committing crimes. He has committed sixteen crimes and is still at large. He is very arrogant. He is the most wanted criminal of our Night Watch Division!"

"It's the first time to steal from the princes..."

"But that guy is poorly educated, and it's not the first time he made a typo..."

After listening, Li Cheng shouted: Isn't it a coincidence!

Come to the capital by yourself, and you can meet your colleagues?The target is still the same?

It's good, just to see how others operate, and learn from it by the way... Ah no, let's review it with peers.

"Hahaha!"

The Hunhe King was not afraid at all, and directly asked his subordinates to read those two lines aloud, and laughed to everyone:

"Everyone, this brainless thief actually stole from this king! This king's palace is as solid as gold, and there is Mr. Cao, the night watchman, who is really ambitious..."

"My lord is well said!"

"If the little thief dares to come, he will never come back!"

"Let's stay here tonight and help the prince look after your house!"

The distinguished guests who had just been made ashamed by the smoke all applauded at this time.

Needless to say, if you count all the people present, including the entourage, you can really count a lot of seventh and sixth ranks. As for whether there are fifth ranks, Li Cheng can't tell.

It is expected that Bai Yutang's strength will not be as high as the sky, facing such a group of people, there should be a lot of trouble.

"I appreciate everyone's kindness, everyone just stay here and eat and drink at ease, but we must not let that little thief disturb our elegance."

King Hunhe declined everyone's proposal, and after the song and dance resumed, one person came to Cao Yueying and said, "Master Cao, come with me."

Cao Yueying nodded, then motioned for Li Wei and Li Wei to follow, and they came to the secluded corridor together.

"Lord Cao, the black pearl was originally a treasure of the East China Sea bestowed by the late emperor, and it was stored by the king in the cellar under the study. There was already a formation to protect it, and I will send more people to inspect it, so there is no need to worry. Outside the study...you are Mr. Lao."
