Chapter 29 Dinner Storm

12days ago Xuanhuan Novels 4
The lights are on, and the city of Sun and Moon begins a bustling night

At this time, the business of restaurants, teahouses and art shops is the most lively and popular place.

But tonight, the most identifiable people in Riyue City have probably been gathered in the residence of the Ministry of Finance, Shidaro.

Daluo held a banquet to welcome the newly enfeoffed temple saints of the Fengniao Kingdom. Those who participated were naturally all well-known figures in Sun and Moon City.

Chu Houyu rode on the fire cloud, on the left is Lan Si Xiuer and Fan Feihui who wanted to watch the fun together, on the right are Fan Qingtong and Ren Ling, and a group of five people rode horses to Daluo's mansion.

Chu Houyu didn't expect the scene to be so spectacular. I don't know how many guests there were in Daluo Mansion. I saw that there were many people outside the gate, which made Chu Houyu feel puzzled.

Daluo, who is fat and full of spring, has already received a notice from his servants. With the support of four generals, he rushed to the gate. When he saw Chu Houyu dismount, he hurried forward and welcomed him: Welcome the saints and lieutenant generals to visit the humble house. Haha, even Feihui is here, please come in quickly.

Fan Feihui didn't care much about the fat-headed Daluo. After giving a slight salute, she pulled her to walk in next to Lance Xiuer.

Daluo hurriedly guided everyone beside Chu Houyu, and asked: Why didn’t Mrs. Zun come with the saints?

Chu Houyu had a long time to say something in his heart, and he laughed: The inner person is spending time with His Royal Highness going out for a day. Maybe they are tired, they are not used to attending such a lively scene, so they were unable to attend Lord Daluo's dinner. Please do not be surprised by Lord Zhengshi.

As everyone spoke, they had already entered the wide hall, and the noise immediately spread to people's ears

Daluo nodded and said: No wonder, Mrs. Zhou Tulao Dunyi has been playing with His Royal Highness the Princess for a day. I think I am tired. If you are more physically important, please ask the Saint to take the main seat first. The three lieutenant generals and Fei Hui will be placed next to the Saint

Chu Houyu hurriedly declined and said: How could Hou Yu be so arrogant? I just sat in the right chief seat with Brother Fan and others. I don’t have to refuse the position of Master Zhengsi.

Daluo heard the firmness in Chu Houyu's tone, so he didn't politely persuade him, saying: Then I'll put someone on the right hand to add another mat to the right, so that Lieutenant General Lance and Fei Hui could take the seat.

Chu Houyu couldn't help but secretly praised Daluo's ability to observe the face and see the colors. No wonder he was so exquisite.

Chu Houyu and Ren Fan took their seats while looking around.

The hall is very wide, with two rows of eight pillars holding high roofs, and nearly a hundred guests are already filled with guests. Next to each seat is a pretty maid serving various dishes and wine.

When Chu Houyu and his group came in, everyone in the hall couldn't help but focus their attention on Chu Houyu. From Daluo's respectful attitude, they knew that Chu Houyu was the young temple saint who talked about.

Daluo cleared his throat and said loudly: I am very happy, because the heroic soldiers of our Fengneng Kingdom defeated the barbarian army of the Yindan Kingdom and once again defended our beautiful home. At this moment, our noble temple saints also came to attend this dinner. Daluo worshiped the saints here to express the welcome of the people of Sun and Moon City.

Everyone in the hall raised their glasses solemnly, and it can be seen that the Temple Saint was extremely respected in the minds of the people of Fengniao Kingdom.

Chu Houyu didn't expect the scene to be so serious and spectacular, so he raised his glass and cheered with everyone.

Drinking all the glass, Chu Houyu smiled and said: Master Zhengsi holds a banquet with delicious food and wine. Don’t be restrained. If I can’t make everyone enjoy it just because Chu is here, my sin will be great.

Everyone chuckled and sat down to continue drinking and chatting

The atmosphere in the whole hall became more relaxed and lively, and Daluo also warmly greeted Chu Houyu and others to sit down.

Except for the two city lords who came on behalf of Nai's father because of something, Fan Qingtong and Ren Ling, who were respectively on behalf of Nai's father, the cold-faced minister of the Ministry of War, Sicilia, the affairs minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the affairs minister of the Ministry of Justice, both sat on the three seats at the left. However, Emma, ​​the affairs minister of the Ministry of Works, was not here.

There is also a man in martial arts uniform. After Daluo's introduction, Chu Houyu learned that this person was Teng Shaoming, the commander of the Imperial Guard with the same rank as Lance Xiuer.

From his leisurely and calm expression, we can see that this person is not simple

After three rounds of wine, Daluo smiled and said: If the Saint is late for a moment, I am afraid that many people here will blame the Saint.

Chu Houyu was slightly surprised and said: Oh, is it because you are late to wait for a long time?

Daluo smiled mysteriously and said: That's because I invited Fengdu's most famous art troupe, Xifengwu, to come to cheer up. Meng Jieyao, the chief troupe of "Xifengwu", was originally a nobleman from a small country in the south. Later, a famous "Xifengwu" art troupe was established in Fengdu. Not only was he as beautiful as a fairy, but his singing and dancing skills were more forsaken. Everyone, including me, probably, have appreciated the singing and dancing skills of "Xifengwu" for the first time. If the sage scholar is not there, I cannot invite the singing troupe of "Xifengwu" in time to perform. The sage scholar said whether they will be blamed by everyone?

The three Maitsuji sitting on the left chuckled and agreed, and the other guests who heard Daluo's words also nodded.

Chu Houyu then felt relieved and said with a smile: So that's it. Everyone in the Finance Department will invite a performance troupe to feast your eyes.

Daluo was obviously very proud to invite the famous art troupe. Shuangding took a few shots, and the lights around were all gone, leaving only the hollows brightly illuminated.

At this moment, the music came faintly, and sixteen artists wearing silk ribbons walked into the middle from the four corners of the hall and danced gracefully.

The dance posture is graceful and soft, perfectly combined with the musical changes. The music is not only gentle and pleasing to the eye. The fairy shadow gently shakes the sky and the sound of the ears. The audience in the hall is gradually attracted and enters the spirit.

Suddenly, the sixteen dancers threw petals into the surrounding center like magic, and the music stopped abruptly.

Just when everyone's spirit and attention were gathered, a sweet song like the sound of nature came slowly. The soft voice full of magnetic voice made everyone want to find where the singing woman was.

A beautiful figure slowly fell from the fragrant petals in the sky. A beautiful woman appeared in the center surrounded by sixteen dancers. Especially a pair of clear eyes, clear eyes, like crying and complaining.

Under the stars holding the moon, I saw the green onions and jade fingers turning into flowers, and my beautiful and delicate body danced.

Everyone was not only shocked by her beauty, but also attracted by her obsessed singing. They unknowingly entered the dream state, as if they saw a helpless woman who struggled several times but ended up in a miserable end.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Hou Yushu Ran woke up and found that the woman in the hall was no longer there, and everyone still seemed to have not woken up, and some women were already crying sadly.

Even Lan Si Xiu'er next to her had moist eyes, not to mention Fan Feihui. The girl's tears had long been as slippery as a flowery face.

Meng Jieyao's appearance was like a flash in the pan, appearing like a dream and disappearing like a dream, leaving only the aftertaste of everyone's dementia in that dream

That dreamy jade face and clear eyes that were filled with compassion were deeply imprinted in Chu Houyu's mind

Chu Houyu's heart moved and found that Daluo's squinting smiles were actually calm in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel shocked.

It is not that Daluo's self-control is better than himself, but that he can look at the hardships and misfortunes in the world so coldly, as if the joys, angers, sorrows, and separations in the world are not worth laughing at.

Unless you are a person with a heart, you can't do it

At this time, the guests in the hall woke up and were amazed. Some people with higher identities asked Daluo to invite Meng Jieyao to come out and sing a song.

Daluo's face was filled with smiles, and he said in a difficult manner: I was also shocked by Miss Meng, so why don't I want to invite Miss Meng to show up for everyone again? But this time, the "Xifengwu" led by Miss Meng agreed to just come and perform a song for the Saints, otherwise I wouldn't have such great face to invite Miss Dongmeng to come and cheer everyone up. Don't let me make things difficult for me. After that, I apologize to everyone.

Although everyone felt it was a pity, Daluo's words were so tactful and thoughtful that these noble officials had to give up in disappointment.

Daluo returned to his seat with a sigh of relief and said with a smile: Alas, the reputation is nothing but a sage. No wonder Meng Jieyao's "Xifengwu" has such a reputation. Today is really a blessing for the saints, which makes me feast my eyes and ears, haha

Chu Houyu smiled and said: I just arrived at Sun and Moon City. How could Miss Meng come because of me?... Master Zhengshi joked

At this time, Sicilia, the Minister of Affairs, snatched: The saints don’t know what the Secretary of Finance said is not an exaggeration. Miss Meng Jieyao’s reputation in Fengdu is extraordinary. ‘Xifengwu’ is also famous in the mainland. There are often small countries in royal family ceremony to hire ‘Xifengwu’ to perform at a large sum of money.

This time, the "Xifengwu" will go south with His Royal Highness and will go to Yindan Kingdom one after another. The Empire and the Duchy of Lu Kingdom will perform in the Kindu capital of the Three Kingdoms. After returning to Fengdu, it was originally scheduled to perform three shows in the Imperial City of the Three Kingdoms. If we had not come to celebrate the happy event of the Saint Sei Ce Feng, we would not have the honor to appreciate Miss Meng's amazing singing skills. Tonight, I don't know how many people squeezed their heads and wanted to climb to the residence of the Finance Department, which made the Finance Department almost ask the Ministry of War for help to send troops to the Ministry of War.

Everyone laughed loudly, and the cold and icy minister of the Ministry of War also showed a smile on his face.

Chu Houyu suddenly realized that it seemed that the people who had previously squeezed outside the gate had received the news of the wind and the name of Mu Xifengwu.

Just before Meng Jieyao appeared, the music was full of festiveness, and Meng Jieyao invisibly expressed the grief of the suffering people with a song containing the sorrow of the world. This song was dedicated to him, which shows that this woman had another deep meaning.

At this time, everyone was attracted by her superb performance and forgot that they shouldn't have performed such a resentful song at such a dinner party.

Teng Shaoming, sitting on the left, said: After learning that the saint used magical tricks to defeat Yan Wenqing's army and kill Yan Ri and in front of the formation, he admired the saints very much. Unexpectedly, the saints were so young, which made the sages embarrassed.

Chu Houyu smiled and said: The so-called success is achieved because of the person. Because of the sincere cooperation between the "Loyal and Brave Gong" and the generals of Tan'er City, they can resist Yan Wenqing first. General Feifeng's army finally defeated Yan Ri's army. I just gave some strength from the side. Brother Fuji has won the award.

Besti also spoke: I have studied the strategies of the Saints in several battles in Tel and Shenqi City, which are all unexpected tricks. It made Besti admire him. Missing such a Saints is even a pity for Batian. I heard that there are still several famous generals in the empire. It seems that Batian is very powerful.

Chu Hou Yu thought that it would touch on the topic of concern to everyone on the mainland, and he came from the empire, and everyone would inevitably ask him, so he said: If we are leading the general, Batian's subordinates have the power to defend the western border against the Yin Dan Kingdom, and Fu Yu guards Zhanfeng City in the northeast, and his subordinates have many powerful soldiers who work hard for him, and in secret, many masters have been recruited to help the evildoer to abuse me. Although I have been in the imperial army for many years, if I want to truly understand the strength of the empire, I am afraid that I can only know when I face it. I feel sad when I think of my father's death.

The people in Sun and Moon City have fought against Yin Dan Kingdom for many years and have little understanding of the power of the empire. Seeing Chu Houyu, he just casually said the name of the Three Tiger Generals, but he was not very moved.

Although Chu Houyu summed up the story of a word, there are countless people who can't count them, but everyone has just heard of it.

As the Ministry of War, Besti still refused to comment. Only Ren Fan and others knew that Chu Houyu's comments should not underestimate the strength of the Imperial Army. Lance Xiuer and Na Teng Shaoming both showed their attention.

A glimmer flashed in Daluo's eyes and said with a smile: The saint is young and promising, and it is really rare to live in the army.

I wonder what I think of the Indo-Dan Kingdom?

Chu Houyu smiled faintly and said: Everyone here is probably more qualified to answer this question than me. It is better to hide your weaknesses than me.

The Ministry of Justice Department Longta laughed and said: Tonight is to wash the saints. We only talk about the sacred people. Everyone respects the saints. Don’t be a pity for the fine wine in Daluo Mansion.

Chu Houyu had a drink with everyone and said with a smile: The wine in Master Zhengshi's mansion is indeed different. It is not only sweet and delicious but also fragrant. It has a different flavor than the spirits of the Empire.

Daluo suddenly danced, his eyes narrowed, and he laughed: The saints don’t know that I was the empire wine that started with wine selling back then. The wine of Yindan Kingdom was sweet and tasted for a long time, and the wine of the Lu Duchy Kingdom was slightly inferior. But when it comes to winemaking skills, except for the "Wine King" Qu Yiping of Yindan Kingdom, I dare to boast that the wine produced by the rest of the people was definitely better than the "Lanqingzhu" of my husband. Otherwise, the drunkard, Lao Long, would not have been thinking about the jars of aged wine in my mansion.

Longta was not angry at all for Dalu's openly speaking out the name of his drunkard, and said with a smile: You can only blame you for being too stingy. If it weren't for the blessing of the saint today, this wine worm would probably have had another attack.

Everyone couldn't help laughing

After Chu Houyu asked the maid beside him where the cottage was located, he stood up and accused everyone of crime and left.

Daluo was about to send someone to see Chu Houyu go, but Chu Houyu didn't want to go to the cottage, but just wanted to go out for an excuse to get some breath. Of course, he didn't want anyone to get in the way, so he quickly declined.

Chu Houyu stepped out of the hall and came to the garden behind. There were already some guests coming to attend the dinner next to him. Some noble girls were whispering together. When Chu Houyu came out of the hall, they saluted respectfully.

Those beautiful girls even asked with admiration and tenderness, which made Chu Houyu smile and nodded in return, and walked towards the other end of the garden.

This garden is a place connecting two complexes, with fragrant flowers and trees planted

Although there is only a faint moonlight, it is also beautiful.

Chu Houyu took a breath of the cold air in early winter and became much more refreshed, but Meng Jieyao's resentful song just now evoked the past in his heart.

When he was in the Chu castle, he often held banquets in the mansion to come to party. The harmonious and happy days of those years no longer exist, and his heart has experienced many vicissitudes and has gained a lot of experience and lessons

Chu Houyu was indulging in memory, and suddenly felt a move in his heart and flashed into the darkness behind the bushes at the corner.

At this time, he also heard the slight footsteps behind him. In the flash of lightning, he determined that Lance Xiuer was passing by. He quickly took action to pull her to his side and said: Miss Xiuer, don't speak out

Lan Si Xiu'er was originally looking for Chu Houyu. When she saw Chu Houyu suddenly disappeared at a corner, she wanted to go forward and take a look. However, someone next to her silently reached out and pulled him over. If this person had malicious intentions, he might have been seriously injured.

Lan Si Xiu'er wanted to use her skills to shake the other party's palm that was holding her arm. She had already heard Fu Yin on the Chu Marquis. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and hurriedly leaned against the Chu Marquis without any movement.

Their ten pussy bodies were almost tightly attached to each other, and Lance Xiu'er's breathing was a little confused.

Fortunately, Chu Houyu immediately raised her food instructions to stop her voice, and Lan Si Xiu'er woke up and used her skills to control her somewhat turbid breathing to the point of being there and not being there.

In a moment, the two of them immediately merged into the silent garden, and only the voices from the front of the garden spread in the air

At this moment, a black shadow flashed from the distance in front of him and disappeared into the building at the end of the garden.

Even with Chu Houyu's eyesight, he only looked at the outline from a distance. He knew that he was a thin man, which shows that he was a quick and unruly person.

Lan Si Xiuer saw the figure disappearing into the building and wanted to take action, but when Chu Houyu still stared at the front, she didn't dare to move, she looked quietly in the distance.

After a while, Chu Houyu felt the invisible alert ahead disappear without a trace. When she turned around, she realized that she was still obsessed with Lance Xiu'er's arm. She quickly let go and said humbly: I've just been rude, please forgive me.

Lan Si Xiu'er's pink cheeks were red, but she did not mean to blame Chu Houyu. She opened the topic and said: Should I report this to the Finance Department?

Lance Xiuer's problem suddenly made Chu Houyu feel distressed, because although he felt that there was some secret in Daluo's mansion, he didn't know what was wrong with Daluo 21. After all, Lance Xiuer and Daluo were both from Sun and Moon City.

If you make a mistake at once, there will definitely be problems

It was this moment of hesitation that Lance Xiuer said: There are some powerful disciples in the Massacre Mansion. This person may be one of them. If he is a thief, he may be unlucky. Xiuer thinks there is no need to be too nervous and interferes with the private affairs of Massacre.

Chu Houyu had decided in a moment that she had to believe that Lan Si Xiu'er would not be bad for her, and nodded and said: Maybe as Miss Xiu'er said, I was about to go back to the hall, but I wonder what happened to Miss Xiu'er coming out?

Lance Xiu'er smiled slightly and said: Xiu'er just came out to see if the saint is okay, but she was shocked by the saint now. Now she is fine. Let Xiu'er accompany the saint back to the hall. After that, she turned around and walked towards the front of the garden, but her face was filled with joy.

Chu Houyu suddenly fell into a disadvantage, smiled bitterly, followed Lan Si Xiu'er's pace, and walked forward side by side

After a scene just now, the two of them had disappeared without a trace due to their differences in identity.

The atmosphere in the hall was still very lively. When everyone saw Chu Houyu and Lan Si Xiuer come back, they greeted them to take their seats.

But Lance Xiu'er smiled and said: Xiu'er was ordered to protect the saint, which disturbed the saint's pleasure of enjoying the night view. Everyone showed a sudden expression, and Daluo was not suspicious.

Chu Houyu secretly praised Lan Si Xiu'er's precise thoughts, and while taking a seat, he asked with a smile: What topic are you talking about, it seems very interesting?

Sicilia snatched the words: The saint has just left, and I don’t know that this old young man, Longta, was fascinated by Miss Meng Jieyao’s fairy-like beauty and moving singing, and he has already...

Longta, who was sitting in the Sicilia seat, didn't wait for him to finish his words?

Already said loudly: I just admire Miss Meng's superb singing skills, and I have no other meaning. Saints must not listen to this old boy's nonsense.

Everyone knew that the two were joking and laughed

Chu Houyu also smiled at it, and Meng Jieyao's perfect appearance and emotional eyes appeared in her mind.

I was also attracted by her amazing singing and her celestial face, so it was inevitable that everyone in the hall would be

At the same time, Chu Houyu did not expect that as high-ranking officials like Longta and Sicilia, not only did not have any official airs at the banquet, but also everyone asked with sincere friendship. They couldn't help but envy the atmosphere of Fengnv Country. They drank and laughed with everyone.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked out from behind the hall. Chu Houyu recognized him as one of the few people who were with Daluo in the Sun and Moon Palace that day. It seemed that he should be Daluo's confidant.

He was leaning over to report something to Daluo, but he was immediately stopped by Daluo and said: I am chatting with the saints and all the adults. I will talk about anything later. After that, I will continue to talk and laugh with everyone as if nothing had happened.

Daluo not only has a broad knowledge, but also guides everyone to happy topics. As the host of the banquet, Daluo makes the atmosphere of the dinner very pleasant.

It was not until midnight that the dinner that washed Chu Houyu ended

Daluo, Longta and other political officials and others went out of the palace to pay respect to Chu Houyu. Ren Ling and Fan Qingtong sent Chu Houyu halfway and said goodbye to leave, leaving Lan Si Xiuer to accompany Chu Houyu back to Sun and Moon City.
