Chapter 113
Chapter 113
The guards cleared the way, and the eunuch sang promises.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Princess are here in person, and we are here to congratulate you!"
Bai Qingyuan, who was standing at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, hurriedly saluted, and said with a stiff smile, "Welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Mr. Chen, who followed the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongning to welcome the guests at the door, also had a very wink, said some flattering words, and then went to the mansion to ask the Marquis to come out.
"No need!"
The crown prince stopped him and said: "The Marquis of Yongning is the natal family of the crown princess, so I only come here to accompany the crown princess, so there is no need to bother the prince to greet her personally."
"Yes. Cousin, you are busy first. Your Highness and I will go in first."
Bai Qingyuan also said very understandingly.For some reason, he always felt that his cousin's face was a little strange, with a bluish-white color.
"Here, good. Manager Chen, please lead the way for His Royal Highness."
Bai Qingyuan didn't bother to spend much time chatting with the two of them, so he let them into the Hou's mansion without much excuse.
In addition to the six palace servants and bodyguards who served him personally, the prince also brought several royal servants who were listed in the royal register.
Different from the servants, these celestial masters recruited by the royal family acted more freely and talked to each other in a low voice.
"Master, this mansion—"
Liu Feng, who has a keen sense, slowly drew closer to his master, his hairs were standing on end, and he couldn't figure out the source.
"Well, shut up."
The old god Songfeng ordered on the ground.
As a celestial master who ranks among the top ten in strength, he can naturally see the invisible talismans all over the mansion, but they are all made by orthodox Taoism, and even he is overwhelmed by the subtleties-such a first-class celestial master In the sheltered place, no ghosts would dare to make trouble.
"Relax, the prince should be worrying too much."
As Songfeng said, he was thinking about how to make friends with the people in Hou's mansion later, so that he could introduce him to that strange senior celestial master. OK.
However, Matsukaze realized that he was relieved too early.
As soon as he followed the prince into the main hall of the banquet, his hair stood on end like the little apprentice, and his crazy warning sense indicated that there was great terror here!
Ghost King!A ghost king with extraordinary strength who can freely act under the talisman of a top celestial master!It can also restrain the breath very well.
Songfeng resisted the urge to run away, he had to protect the prince's life, otherwise he would not be able to see tomorrow's sun after today.
The eyes of the young and vigorous celestial master shone brightly. After putting on several layers of protection, he looked straight at the ghost king sitting next to the old matriarch.
Hmph, it's a good disguise, but it can't escape my clairvoyance.
Songfeng looked at the young man who was sideways talking to the old lady, and nervously searched for the direction of the killing intent lingering around the ghost king, and if there was a ghostly aura that seemed to be there, he was attacking - the princess and the prince!
Tsk, this is difficult.
If the Ghost King's target was only the Crown Princess, he could just take advantage of the chaos and take the Crown Prince to escape, but since the Crown Prince has been targeted, there is no way to escape, so he can only find foreign aid.
Matsukaze reached into his sleeves and groped for the message. At this moment, the ghost king who was staring at him turned around and glanced at him with a half-smile.
Immediately, Matsukaze seemed to be immobilized, unable to move, and all his plans were wiped out.So what if he put on a lot of protection against ghosts?The ghost king's peerless youth that does not belong to the world is already the sharpest knife. The blurred silhouette can easily break down all the enemy's defenses, and he is only willing to ask for it.
The little apprentice Liu Feng who was following behind him was even more exaggerated, his nose bleeds, he rolled his eyes, he couldn't bear the stimulation and fainted, his unconscious face was still smiling.
This made the prince and Bai Qingyuan feel even more weird.
"What's wrong! Celestial Master Songfeng, but something is wrong here?"
The prince was a little nervous, wouldn't there be ghosts in Hou's mansion, and they were so powerful that they could hurt people under Songfeng's nose, right?
"It's nothing, I forgot the time during my practice last night, I'm sleepy."
Songfeng smiled and helped the little apprentice up, dragged him calmly and calmly to the seat to sit down, even reluctant to leave to find a bed for the apprentice to rest.
The skeptical prince still believed in the judgment of several celestial masters, and took Bai Qingyuan to a place quite close to Qiao Yu.
"hiss--"
Bai Qingyuan frowned and cried out in pain, holding back his anger and looking at the eunuch who suddenly became clumsy and poured hot tea on him.
"Princess, forgive me! Forgive me!"
After seeing the beauty, the little eunuch, who seemed to be walking on cotton, dizzy and trembling, finally returned to reality, begging for mercy on his knees in cold sweat.
"Okay, let's go down. Go back and clean you up."
The crown prince said with a worried face, and immediately someone from the Hou's mansion led Bai Qingyuan to change his coat.
When Bai Qingyuan came back again, the banquet had officially started.
But the prince's behavior was a bit strange, he didn't take a bite of the food in front of him, his lips turned white.
"Your Highness, what's the matter, but the food is not to your liking?"
"Qingyuan!"
The crown prince looked at Bai Qingyuan as if he had grasped at a straw, and tightly held the other's hand, and the crowd looked a little menacing.
"Your Highness, so many people are watching."
Bai Qingyuan blushed and said with a heartbeat, and the prince's next whisper turned the ripples in his heart into a pool of stagnant water.
"Qingyuan, they don't seem to be human anymore."
What do you mean?
Only then did Bai Qingyuan follow the prince's gaze to look at the people in the banquet hall, and suddenly realized that everyone except Bai Qingyuan looked pale and bloodless, their expressions were stiff as if they were carved out of the same mold, and drinking and eating seemed to be in the same mood. Like a string puppet, and every time he took a bite of food, he would look in the direction of him and the prince, as if it looked like a good meal.
"This is how to do?"
Bai Qingyuan's heart pounded, and he winked at Bai Qingyuan who was a few seats away, wanting to ask about the situation.
Bai Qingyuan also felt uncomfortable all over, but whenever he wanted to stand up and leave, he would be "stared" by the people around him, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
When the three of them sat stiffly with cramps in their legs and feet, the main topic of the banquet came.
The old matriarch happily announced Qiao Yu's identity to everyone, and people who were acquainted with her began to send greetings.
First of all, the old lady’s natal family. A lively young man walked up and pulled out a beautiful box from his sleeve. After blushing, he said some congratulations and handed the box to the servant who came to pick him up, reluctantly. After returning to his seat, he couldn't help but look at the beauty in front of him, wondering if he had behaved badly just now.
Then one after another young men and women presented congratulatory gifts on behalf of each family, and the banquet hall was bursting with joy and laughter.
But this scene fell into the eyes of Bai Qingyuan and the other three who had been specially greeted, but it was very terrifying. They saw the first boy tearing off his arm as a congratulatory gift in front of all living beings. Mouth wide open.
The congratulatory gifts that followed became more and more bloody.
According to the order, it will soon be Bai Qingyuan's turn.
"Qingyuan, it's your turn."
Bai Qingyuan patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "You can't be compared to other brothers."
Bai Qingyuan, who was trembling from being photographed, jumped up from his seat, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
"Congratulations..."
Bai Qingyuan thought of the cheap plaything in his arms as a gift, how dare he take it out at this moment!Does he have to give his arms, legs or eyes and ears like everyone else?
No no no, it's terrible!
But what happens if you don't send it?
Bai Qingyuan cast his eyes for help to his cousin Bai Qingyuan, who was human like him, but Bai Qingyuan avoided his sight.
A gust of cold wind hit, and Bai Qingyuan, who had lost his last hope, smashed the jar and said with the corners of his mouth: "My congratulatory gift won't be on the table. I'd better invite the cousin of the princess to come first, so let us open our eyes."
Bai Qingyuan!how dare you!
However, all the people present have turned their attention to the princess and the prince next to him.
I didn't expect it to work.
Bai Qingyuan, who consciously escaped a catastrophe, returned to his seat, not daring to move like a quail.
……
Qiao Yu looked at the scene where the three of them were about to turn against each other, and felt a bit dull. He could guess that the prince would argue with the princess and Bai Qingyuan later, and maybe blood would be spilled on the spot—using other people's flesh and blood As a congratulatory gift to the ghost king.
Except for the three of them, this is a normal banquet in the eyes of the other guests, so what ordinary people see is that the three of them drew their swords in public - they thought they were in a ghost cave, isolated and helpless, and they didn't want to hurt themselves, so they would think of using The flesh and blood of others to protect their own safety.
The best ending was that the two were seriously injured, and the prince was deposed due to violence; the worst ending... was that someone died on the spot.
After Qiao Yu made sure that Bai Qingyuan had figured out that everything was her own revenge, she left behind a stick and continued to attend the banquet, and the real body and Fengxi left together.
"Yu Lang, are you unhappy?"
Sitting beside Qiao Yu, Feng Lan looked at the lotus pond in the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and fish occasionally appeared in the pond.
"Happy, the big revenge has been avenged, how can you be unhappy."
With an indifferent expression, Qiao Yu grabbed some crumbs of snacks and threw them into the lotus pond, causing fish to compete for food, but his figure gradually faded away.
"Yu Lang!"
Feng Lan immediately saw Qiao Yu's situation at this time: the beauty's obsession has disappeared, and because she has cultivated into a ghost king and cannot enter reincarnation, she is about to disperse her true spirit!
"Don't worry about me."
Qiao Yu's expression finally fluctuated a little, and he smiled and comforted him: "In the past and present, you are my best friend...Brother, from now on, you can see all the scenery in this world for me, and be a descendant like Jing Lan and the others. The heavenly master who subdues demons."
"But, I don't regard you as a brother!"
Feng Lan stared into Qiao Yu's eyes, and it was too late to say anything else. He pointed to the sky and swore the truth: "Yu Lang, I love you!"
Ah this.
The unexpected situation stopped Qiao Yu's tendency to dissipate on her own.
In the next second, Feng Lan kissed Qiao Yu's forehead lightly with lightning speed.
