Chapter 74 Horse Sacrifice
Dajing Palace, brightly lit.
In the Fengtian Hall, the candles and cattle were blazing, just like daytime.
The ground is paved with golden floor tiles, which are as shiny as real gold. They complement the carved beams and painted buildings above and are extremely gorgeous.
Sandalwood tables carved with cloud patterns and flowers were arranged neatly, and the east and west rows were lined up from north to south at the entrance of the main hall.
The sandalwood table is filled with exquisite and luxurious dishes, as white as jade, crystal clear and moist, with various flower patterns painted on them, including pictures of flowers, landscapes, and happiness and longevity.
The dishes contained a variety of delicacies.
Venison, beef, and even some low-grade monster meat, all kinds of aromas wafted around, mixing together to create a strong impact.
There were people sitting behind the table at this time.
The emperor sat due north, beside him was the dignified and beautiful queen. The two of them sat at a table alone.
On the left are the princes and princes, and further down are the princes, princes, earls, and marquises, and then the female relatives.
On the right is the Dazhen envoy, with Prince Ying at the top, followed by the two great masters, then Cheng Tianfeng, followed by various officials.
In the center of the hall, a group of beauties were singing and dancing. Their dances were graceful and their voices were like the sounds of nature, attracting everyone's attention.
But the disadvantage of neatly arranged tables is that everyone can see the empty seats, and it is obvious that not all people are here.
Especially there is an empty seat at the first table on the west side, and it is the highest open seat.
Amidst the singing and dancing, Chu Minghou, Bai Ningshuang, Chuyi, Chu Zhiyuan and his family came in quietly and went to their seats.
Chu Minghou, however, sat at the front, the highest empty seat on the west side.
He looked up at the emperor in the north and saw a smile on his clear face. His clear eyes just glanced at him before turning to singing and dancing, and he sat down hurriedly.
Since the unblocking, he had already visited the emperor, more than once or twice. Each time, the emperor's expression was always indifferent and distant.
He knew that the emperor obviously disliked him, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about the emperor.
As soon as Chu Zhiyuan sat down, Chu Mingxuan looked across the table, then quietly stood up and came to his side: "Fourth, why are you so late?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I was practicing just now."
"Are you sure?" Chu Mingxuan looked at the other side, especially Cheng Tianfeng at the second table.
Cheng Tianfeng had a calm expression and looked very similar to Chu Zhiyuan in temperament. He could tell at a glance that he would be difficult to deal with.
If you were defeated in front of so many people, it would be a huge disgrace. It would not only disgrace Lao San himself, but the entire Da Jing, and the royal family as well!
This responsibility is indeed too heavy.
"Just do your best." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
As he spoke, he held a flying dragon bone in his sleeves.
The Dragon Transformation Technique surges forward, constantly absorbing the breath of the flying dragon bone, strengthening its own breath and thereby strengthening its own bones.
Talking does not delay his practice.
"Yes, there is no need to make it too difficult for yourself, just do your best." Chu Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder and retreated to his seat.
There were three princes at his table. They came over to ask, and Chu Mingxuan waved his hand.
Then Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan and the others also came over to ask Chu Zhiyuan, but Chu Zhiyuan could only say it again.
Other people looked over and felt strange.
When did the crown prince of Prince Qing's Mansion become so popular? Everyone ran over to say hello and talk to him.
Most of them didn't receive the news, and they didn't know why.
But because of this, I looked sideways, felt it was abrupt, and felt that the changes were too fast, and that I might have missed something.
People who sat back talked about it.
"Fourth brother will definitely win."
"Fourth brother is obviously confident when he speaks like this."
"Fourth brother's temperament is to seek stability."
……
They were talking, and so were others.
Especially the table of female relatives were more curious, and they all came to Bai Ningshuang's table to ask why.
Xiao Ruoling was also there, being pulled to her table by Bai Ningshuang.
"Sister Bai, the fourth prince is indeed extraordinary, he is a seed of cultivation."
"With such good qualifications and great potential, Ning Shuang, just wait and enjoy the blessings." Hearing this, Bai Ningshuang beamed.
"Linger, you are also a blessed person."
Xiao Ruoling smiled sheepishly.
Chu Yi came closer to Xiao Ruoling and lowered her voice: "Sister-in-law, why did the emperor insist on asking the eldest brother to attend, and also asked Huang Cheng to come to greet you. It's very weird."
She felt something was wrong.
Huang Cheng was not an ordinary eunuch, so it would be suspicious to go there specifically to invite their family.
Xiao Ruoling blushed when she called her sister-in-law.
Chu Yi continued: "The eldest brother's expression is also unusual, as if something big has happened."
Although she was innocent and innocent, she was actually extremely sensitive and felt Chu Zhiyuan's seriousness.
Originally, I came to this palace dinner just to join in the fun, but why was the eldest brother so serious, as if something big had happened?
Xiao Ruoling's deep eyes flashed, becoming more and more confusing and moving.
Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Ruoling gently tugged on her sleeves and said softly: "Let's wait and see. Maybe something big will be announced at this banquet. It may be news that we don't know."
"I hope so." Chu Yi woke up, held Xiao Ruoling's jade hand, and said with emotion: "Brother is so lucky."
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and chuckled.
This sister-in-law is innocent and kind, has a gentle temperament, and is also lively and smart, which is really rare.
Whichever family you marry into in the future will be your blessing.
——
At this time, the singing and dancing stopped, and the beauties in gauze clothes retreated lightly.
Cheng Tianfeng stood up, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, we are here on the order of Emperor Dazhen, and we will forever be friends. We specially present a gift chosen by the Emperor himself."
"Oh, what is it?" Emperor Chu Qingquan, who was sitting due north, smiled faintly: "You might as well present it."
Cheng Tianfeng clapped his hands twice hard.
A young man sitting at the end of the Dazhen Mission stood up and walked out of the hall. Soon, a huge iron cage appeared in the hall.
Twenty strong men carried a huge iron cage into the hall.
Inside the iron cage, two golden horses stood quietly, their four eyes looking around intelligently, and the scales on their bodies looked like they were covered in golden armor.
"This is the divine dragon horse, one male and one female. It can give birth to foals. It is our great treasure and is specially presented to Your Majesty."
"Tianlong Shenma..." Chu Qingquan nodded and nodded slightly: "Brother Cheng is interested."
This Tianlong Shenma is indeed a treasure. Those monsters cannot be left outside. They are cruel in nature and feed on humans.
Even the monsters with thin bloodline in Xiaochixia Mountain cannot be left outside. They are still not something that ordinary martial arts masters can deal with.
It is extremely difficult to mix monster beasts with ordinary beasts, because the bloodline of monster beasts is overbearing and ordinary beasts cannot bear it and cannot give birth to children.
Therefore, it is rare to see a dragon-horse hybrid such as Tianlong Shenma.
It is a treasure that combines the power of a monster with the gentleness of a normal horse.
Cheng Tianfeng smiled and said: "But there is one problem. These two heavenly dragon horses have not been tamed, and they are extremely difficult to tame. Even the great master can only control them but cannot tame them."
Chu Qingquan said: "Is it possible that no one can tame Dazhen?"
"I haven't found anyone to tame them so far, and even the master can't do anything." Cheng Tianfeng shook his head and sighed: "If they can't be tamed and kept in captivity, they will die of their own accord in a month."
He turned to look at the people opposite him and said with a smile: "You are all heroes of the great scene. I wonder if you can tame these two heavenly dragon horses?"
Chu Qingquan smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, what Dazhen can't do, Dajing can't do either. It's better to just let them go. They are also sacred objects in heaven and earth. Don't waste them like this."
"Of course it's up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with it." Cheng Tianfeng smiled and said, "It's just a pity for Your Majesty."
Chu Qingquan smiled.
The princes and princes opposite had ugly expressions.
Everyone saw Cheng Tianfeng's provocation.
Today's update is finished. It will be gone at 7pm. Please give me a monthly pass. Without a monthly pass, I have no motivation.
