Chapter 570 Moonlight Banquet(1/2)

The twenty-ninth heaven is the Moon Flower Heaven.

The people who live here are basically high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

When you get here, there are basically fewer people.

The Pegasus carriage landed directly in front of a lavish mansion. Looking at the mansion in the distance, there were rows of sergeants in front of the majestic mansion covering an area of ​​ten miles. They had a strong atmosphere, especially the two statues next to the main entrance of the mansion. The huge stone sculpture of dragon and tiger, and the gate of the mansion are made of bronze. Together with these two animal sculptures, they look very domineering.

The mansion of princes!

"Master Marquis, this is the residence of the Marquis temporarily." Chen You, an official from the Ministry of Revenue, accompanied Shen Zhui and said respectfully. "There are five hundred sergeants guarding the Marquis' mansion and obeying the orders. According to the specifications of Marquis Wu, these Everyone is in the supernatural realm. In addition, there are eight hundred servants and maids."

"It turns out that five hundred people are all in the supernatural realm?" Shen Zhui was also slightly surprised. This is not a small number.

"The Marquis is a champion, so of course this kind of standard is indispensable." Chen You said respectfully. "They are all descendants of veteran generals who retired from the Ministry of War. Their family backgrounds are clean. They were arranged by Mr. Qin Mingqin, the Minister of the Ministry of War. You can use them with confidence." "

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Thank you Master Qin for me, and tell Shen Zhui to come and thank you another day." Shen Zhui nodded. He could see through these people with just a few glances.

Whether it is good or bad, Chen You doesn’t need to say much, you can tell at a glance.

With one glance at these people, he could grasp all of them with his delusion-breaking eyes.

"The foundation is pretty good." Shen Zhui was a little surprised, because these magical powers are all extremely young, and they have not been practicing for more than a hundred years. Moreover, all of them have high-level magical powers, and there is a great hope of breaking through to the venerable level in the future. .

Although Ji Chen said that the eighty-year-old has magical powers and the hundred-and-two young masters.

Here in the capital, this kind of talent is not particularly strong, but if it is well cultivated, it will be a rare talent in the future.

"It seems that the imperial court has sent me a group of good family sons for me to choose from. I will bring them into the feudal state and seal them." Shen Zhui suddenly understood in his heart.

These people are all descendants of veterans of the Ministry of War. They are naturally capable of literary and military skills. What they lack is just practical experience. With a little training, they will be granted the title when they go to the feudal state. They will immediately become senior officers and can quickly support the operation of the feudal state.

When Shen Zhui looked over, all the five hundred people with magical powers subconsciously straightened their bodies. In front of him, there was a young man with dark skin and a resolute expression who shouted excitedly: "See you, Lord Marquis!"

"Wow~" The five-hundred-magical-power realm members immediately clapped their chests with their left hands uniformly and performed a military salute.

"Not bad." Shen Zhui nodded with satisfaction. He marched with armor on and did not show any courtesy. The style of this group of people was quite tough.

"Gan Lang." Shen Zhui winked. Tan Lang immediately understood and went to accept these five hundred soldiers. With Tan Lang's cultivation level, there is no problem at all in mastering these five hundred magical powers.

The carriage procession slowly drove in.

This prince's mansion occupies a large area, with courtyards dotted inside, and pavilions and pavilions. When Shen Zhui walked in, there were eight hundred servants and maids kneeling in two rows waiting for him. One of the stewards, a yellow-robed and white-bearded man, was Zun Zhui. On the first floor, when he saw Shen Zhui and others coming in, he immediately knelt down and said, "Welcome the Marquis into the house!"

"Welcome the Marquis to the mansion!" Hundreds of people behind him also shouted and knelt down.

"Everyone, get up." Shen Zhui waved his hand.

The servants and maids who were 800 meters away all stood up, without squinting, and with their heads lowered, waiting for orders. Only the venerable man in yellow robes and white beard slowly came closer and said respectfully: "Master Hou, this little man Huang Jing is the sect of the sect. The general manager sent by the people's government to the Marquis to take care of the house's internal affairs for the Marquis."

"The clan's mansion?" Shen Zhui nodded.

Marquis Wu is already an important minister with a very high status. Each of them is cultivated by the royal family with great efforts. It can be said that they are prepared talents for the emperor's relatives.

"Huang Jing," Shen Zhui said. "Go down and let these people do their own thing. You can choose a few people to accompany me to visit the Hou Mansion."

"Yes." Huang Jing waved his hand immediately. He didn't need to explain at all, because this was a scene that had been rehearsed countless times.

The group of boys and maids immediately dispersed and began to get busy in an orderly manner.

The five hundred magical sergeants led by Tan Lang were also arranged to start patrolling and standing guard.

After the carriage and horses were settled and all the household officials and etiquette officers were sent away, Shen Zhui also welcomed his adoptive father, adopted mother, adopted sister, and Shen Kangwei in the carriage space.

Afterwards, Shen Zhui released several important generals in the hall of the Marquis Mansion.

Previously, considering that Wu Anjun still had some matters to deal with, Shen Zhui only brought a few of the most important and trustworthy people with him.

The first is Bi Ying, a genius whom I met in the Great Xia Cave Heaven. This man is capable of both literary and martial arts and has good talents. He is now the third level of the Venerable.

The second is the counselor Yu Ziqi. The capital city was Yu Ziqi’s home. Shen Zhui naturally fulfilled Yu Ziqi’s wish and brought him back. However, Yu Ziqi’s martial arts skills were not that good. It is the pinnacle of supernatural power.

The third is Niu Tian and Lucio. One is from the Niu Demon Clan and the other is from the Black Rock Clan. They are very familiar with the foreign forces and only obey the command of Shen Zhui. They are also the third level of Venerables.

These are the talents that Shen Zhui will take to the Hou Kingdom in the future. As for the Wu'an Army, there are still a group of people, but they are all staying in the Zhao Kingdom for the time being. .

"Sir." After appearing in the main hall, Bi Ying saluted in unison, and then looked at the Hou Mansion curiously.

"In three days, it will be my ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven. During these three days, you will stay in the Marquis' Mansion and practice well. Do not go out and walk around at will without my instructions." Shen Zhui said.

"yes."

…………

Just when Shen Zhui entered Yuehuatian's Hou Mansion to settle down...

In the twenty-eighth heaven, Xingyao Tian, ​​in the center of this fast continent, there is a majestic mansion. On the door plaque of the mansion, there is a big Chinese character with flying dragons and phoenixes - Fan!

In a study room in Fan Mansion, a very handsome young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes was practicing cross-legged. Around him, the starlight shone with great charm.

As the young man breathed in and out, the starlight gradually became brighter.

But after a certain point...

The absorption of starlight seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and some were weak. After a while, the light dissipated, and the handsome young man opened his eyes.

"The "Nine Transformations of the Stars" is indeed the third best technique in the world. I have gained so much just by acquiring it."

"It's a pity that all I got was the broken copy. If I want to cultivate into the "Xuan Yue Star Body", I still need to obtain the last three levels of secret techniques." The young man muttered to himself, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But it's almost here, May 10th.

Eight is His Majesty’s birthday banquet. If you can only do three things, you will definitely succeed this time.”

"At that time, not only will Princess Anle be owned by me, but I will also control Xuanyue Fairy Island in the South China Sea!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sir, General Xia Feihu of Anguo is visiting."

"Xia Feihu? Which Xia Feihu?" The young man frowned slightly, as if he couldn't remember knowing this person in his memory.

"He is the son of Prince Liang of West Antarctica. He just entered the capital today. He said he has something to ask for to see the young master." The voice said cautiously. "If the young master doesn't want to see you, I will go and refuse him now."

"Prince Liang? Why does his son want to see me?" Fan Hongyi thought for a moment and then quickly made a decision. "No, take him to the side hall to wait."

"yes."

After a while, the Fan family was in the side hall.

Xia Feihu sat on the large sandalwood chair, his brows gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he felt that the light in front of him seemed to get a little brighter, and a tall, thin young man wearing rich clothes and a very cold face walked in.

"Master Fan." Xia Feihu stood up quickly.

"General Xia, I didn't know that General Xia was here, so I didn't greet him from far away. I'm sorry." Fan Hongyi nodded lightly. Although he was smiling, Xia Feihu could feel the arrogance under the other's smile.

This innate sense of nobility and aloofness does not change depending on who the other person is. Just like an elephant does not know how an ant sees itself.

This feeling made Xia Feihu a little disgusted. Once upon a time, he was the only one who could give others this kind of experience, but he didn't expect that he could feel it now.

However, remembering his father's instructions before leaving, Xia Feihu still endured his emotions and continued: "Young Master Fan is so polite."

"If you don't mind being abrupt, I would like to get straight to the point."

"How is that possible? Please tell me, General Xia." Fan Hongyi nodded lightly, and immediately a servant brought him some tea, and then left.

"Sir, please take a look." Xia Feihu took out a mirage bead in his hand, and then it floated into the air.

Scenes of light and shadow suddenly appeared on it, the picture flowed, and a pair of figures were clearly printed inside...

Looking at the contents of the mirage beads, Fan Hongyi paused slightly as he picked up the teacup, then continued to drink. However, the calm water surface of the tea suddenly stirred up a ripple.

…………

On the seventh day of May, Shen Zhui entered the second day of the Moonlight Heaven.

One after another, invitations were delivered to the Hou Mansion like a stream of water. Ever since he checked in yesterday evening, Huang Jing, the manager of the Hou Mansion, almost broke his leg because the invitations were sent by princes and nobles, and he needed to personally entertain the senders and guests.

The message was passed to Shen Zhui. There were so many people that almost all the departments in the court sent invitations and congratulatory gifts, but Huang Jing was very happy because it meant that the master he was following had a bright future.

Shen Zhui responded to all posts, responded to them according to their status, and agreed on a date for a visit.

It wasn't until noon that the number of people who sent in posts gradually decreased. However, the signatures at the beginning were more scary than the last.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince Ji Dan sent an invitation, inviting the Marquis to attend the Moon Flower Banquet today."

"Fourth Prince Ji Dan?" Shen Zhui was slightly stunned.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince Ji Dan also lives in Yuehuatian. The Yuehua Banquet is a grand event in Yuehuatian. It actually started seven days ago." Huang Jing explained.

"The entire grand event will last for nine days, and there will be many banquets. Everyone from the humble academicians to the great scholars from Yuehuatian, and even the princes and senior officials will attend. The main ones are banquets for literati, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and reciting poems. Fu, publicize the literary name at the banquet.

If you are talented, you might be spotted by a great scholar and accepted as a disciple, attend banquets in the Nine Heavens, and even attract your Majesty's attention."

"This is also a banquet to recommend talents."

"Every year, the Moon Flower First Banquet and the Last Moon Banquet are top priorities. The fourth prince invites the Marquis to attend the Moon Flower Last Banquet, which is attended by many high-ranking officials and nobles."

Shen Zhui flipped through the invitation, and after listening to Huang Jing's explanation, he immediately understood what was going on.

However, this was a banquet for scholars. It was better to invite his master, Lu Yuanwei, than to invite himself, a military attaché?

It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking. I am afraid that the Fourth Prince Ji Dan was also trying to recruit him.

"Why don't you go to this kind of banquet... huh?" Shen Zhui originally planned to find an excuse to refuse. After all, his teacher wanted him to get closer to the seventh prince Ji Chen, and he didn't even agree to anything, let alone Ji Chen. What's more, the fourth prince?
To be continued...
