Chapter 2 Talented and Beautiful
The banquet of the Immortal Emperor Palace is a very famous style of the Great Wilderness Western Dynasty, although in the apocalyptic situation of the demonic land, the scene of the singing and dancing feast is extremely ironic, but it is precisely because of the end of the world that people need a little entertainment to sustenance, so the banquet of the Immortal Emperor Palace is regarded as the top priority.
Emperor Qingwu attaches great importance to the significance of the banquet here, only three times a year to the heavens, will be held, in addition to the good news of every war with demons, not to mention defeat, as long as a large number of people survive after the catastrophe, the damage is not as serious as expected, it is enough to put the feast of great joy.
As a human being, living to such a point, it can be said that it is very aggrieved, but fortunately, this banquet is a real victory, everyone is happy, celebrating this victory, and praying for the follow-up of the great casting can be smooth.
The focus of the banquet, in addition to alcohol, food, music, singing and dancing, is beauty.
In the imperial capital, there are countless official families, and the daughters with excellent looks have always been the focus of people's attention, and these official ladies who usually do not step out of their own doors will attend the banquet of the Immortal Emperor with their parents, so as to build a social circle and finally find a good relationship.
The daughter of Zhao Shangshu's family, the young lady of General Zong, the sinking fish and the wild goose, and the shy flower of the closed moon, all of them are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have good education or literature and art, these are the topics that many dignitaries and nobles are keen to talk about at every banquet.
The beauties of the imperial capital are different from year to year, but to say that the crown is beautiful, there is no objection that it is the princess Dugu Jian, after all, in this era, no knowledge is comparable to a good martial arts, not to mention that this princess has not only excellent martial arts, but also excellent beauty and temperament.
It's just that this princess has a small regret, that is, she has been busy fighting demons for many years, she has no distractions, she is almost not in the imperial capital, and when she comes back occasionally, she is also dressed in military uniform, dusty, and has an unusually cold expression on her face, and she does not interact with people much, and it is rare to show the feminine side.
The rare exception is the Immortal Emperor Banquet, in order to show respect for tradition, even the baroness, who are never distracted by socializing, will cooperate to change into silk robes, comb their hair, put on makeup, and dress up to attend the meeting.
Only at this time will you see her gorgeous and soft fairy posture like a phoenix, so the biggest highlight of each Immortal Emperor banquet is to see the stunning beauty of the lady.
But this time, in addition to Dugu Sword, another bright spot appeared at the Immortal Emperor Banquet, that is, the beauty surnamed Long who came with the sick monk.
It was an extremely rare beauty, with an unknown origin, the same noble temperament, and compared to the cold and arrogant of the lady, this long-haired beauty was elegant and demure, and her every move was from a famous lady's beautiful and scholarly atmosphere.
At the banquet, other dignitaries and nobles, princes and grandsons, were all whispering, and the topics and eyes all revolved around her.
"It's so beautiful! Where did this beauty come from? How can there be such a beauty outside the imperial capital?"
"Compare all the beauties of our imperial capital to the next level, but why does there seem to be an evil spirit between the eyebrows?"
"It may be related to the bloodline, there are some special ancient fierce veins, which will affect their own temperament, I heard that this person's strength is so strong, even the two demon generals died in her hands, and they have not yet been enshrined. ”
"If you don't have Fengling, you can even punish the two demon generals? Isn't that comparable to the Five Uniques? This is the level of the Five Absolute Masters!"
Similar words turned into exclamation, one after another in the crowd, the techniques used by Wen Quzhi and Long Yun'er were different from the source of Fengling's bloodline, and others did not see any signs, and it was naturally the conclusion that she had not been Fengling.
Yes or no, the difference in strength assessment is too far, Long Yun'er was raised to the level of comparable to the five masters, in the eyes of others, the weight is completely different, that basically represents the terminal force of the human race in this era, and there is another five peerless monk behind him, if he can marry her home, the meaning is self-evident.
However, because the results were so amazing, everyone was excited, but no young talent dared to take the first step to offer a toast to this mysterious beauty and invite him to dance.
Just when everyone was in a mood and was staggered, a young general in military uniform, out of nowhere, with his long hair combed back in a ponytail, was extremely handsome, holding a jade cup in his hand, came to Long Yun'er and handed her a toast.
The tense stalemate was broken, and everyone was stunned, but no one recognized who the young general was.
"Who is this?
"Did you come back together this wave? I heard that some local troops assisted in escorting and entered Beijing together, maybe it was from there?"
He handed over a toast, he really didn't know each other, and he actually grabbed the lead here...... The big beauties of the people have a vision, and they won't fall in love with this kind of embroidered pillow!"
As soon as he said that, he saw that the young general didn't know what he said, and Long Yun'er, who was sitting there, suddenly smiled, the kind of smile like a flower in full bloom, which was deeply intoxicating, and the young general grabbed the snow-white soft wattle stretched out by Long Yun'er, and the two of them left together and walked outside.
A group of official children, watching this scene happen, beat their chests one by one, annoyed and remorseful, and they were angry that they were one step late, and actually let an inexplicable boy take the lead and miss the best opportunity.
Look at those two people, the man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is delicate and beautiful, walking side by side, they really look like a perfect match, especially Long Yun'er smiled brightly, adding to the charm, making these official sons envious and jealous, and they couldn't wait to go up and kick the young man away.
It's just that robbing people is okay to think about, it's impossible to really do it, regardless of whether this is the Immortal Emperor Palace, before the public, it is not allowed to make a mistake, and the young general may be a war hero, and he can't touch it, even if he doesn't consider these, Long Yun'er herself is not a weak woman, robbing people in front of her, in case she is directly beaten into a cripple by her, who would dare to bear it?
Dejected, the children of the official family cleaned up their moods, and suddenly remembered another traditional highlight at the Immortal Emperor Banquet.
“...... By the way, isn't there still a sword princess?"
"Yes, the sword princess is also a great beauty, if you miss this, there is still a sword princess to ...... Look!"
"The dress of the sword princess, that's really beautiful, much better than this country girl who came from nowhere. ”
"You, you want to die! People are in the five-absolute series, you talk like this, when people can't hear you?"
Hurriedly holding the other party's mouth, not daring to let him say it, the official son turned his eyes and saw that Long Yun'er and the young general were no longer visible, but when he looked at it again, he didn't see Dugu Jian come out for a long time, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Weird...... How to ...... the Sword Princess It hasn't come out, has it?
Similar confusion is fermenting in the hearts of many people at the banquet, and they don't know why Dugu Jian has not shown up for a long time, is it ...... Also with the Qingwu Immortal Emperor and the sick monk, did you have any secret conversations that outsiders didn't know?
The one who knew the answer to this question best was Long Yun'er, who was leaving the banquet room and coming to the pavilion in the courtyard outside.
“...... Your Highness really likes to joke, and I don't know how many people are waiting for you to dress up. ”
"I'm also dressed up now, and I'm more used to wearing it like this. ”
Wearing a men's military uniform, Dugu Jian's tall figure is even more slender in the moonlight, and with a white military uniform, he is as outstanding as a crane.
"It's a pity...... With the beauty of His Royal Highness, if he takes off his armor and wears a skirt, plus makeup, he will definitely look so good that anyone will be stunned. ”
Long Yun'er felt sorry in her heart, because even she really wanted to see it, when she saw Dugu Jian's women's clothes, she deliberately dressed up as a man, she could be so handsome, if she dressed up well, changed into gorgeous clothes, and wore a jade hairpin on her head, I don't know what kind of pretty appearance it would be?
"Don't mention, I'm not good at wearing things that are hard to walk. Dugu Jian smiled bitterly: "Every time I dress like that, I feel like someone else, not like me at all, let alone ...... At the moment of national disaster, I don't think about how to kill demons, and I still spend my mind on this, I don't know what to say. ”
Long Yun'er said with a smile: "My cousin said that even if it is a catastrophe in the apocalypse, as long as you are alive today, life is to go on, people can't live nervously all the time, dress up beautifully, and be in a good mood, which also has an inspiring effect on others." ”
"And this is ......"
Dugu Jian smiled bitterly again and shook his head, obviously unacceptable, "Cousin Ling is a strange person, I actually have some questions I want to discuss with him, I originally wanted to ask him tonight, but I didn't expect ...... As soon as the dinner began, he ran away. ”
Long Yun'er nodded and said, "It seems that His Majesty the Immortal Emperor recruited him, I don't know where they went?"
Dugu Jian said: "Where else can it be? It must be that place." ”
During the conversation, Dugu Jian looked at the towering Temple of Heaven, and on the top of that high platform, there were two people strolling on it, condescendingly, looking down on the entire imperial capital.
“...... The Temple of Heaven is indeed magnificent, this high-platform altar was really built by the Immortal Emperor at the beginning?"
As soon as the Temple of Heaven was sealed, Wen Qu did not waste time when he was sick, and spoke directly, and the Qingwu Immortal Emperor was also quite straight to the point.
"Yes, it is indeed clearly stated in the history books that the Immortal Emperor summoned 100,000 people, displayed great magical powers, and created the Temple of Heaven, but its role and mystery are not transmitted, you are the descendant of the Immortal Emperor, how much do you know about this high altar?"
This question, directly skipping "Are you the heir of the Immortal Emperor", and affirming it, Wen Quzhi smiled secretly, and said: "Not much, I just got some remnants and fragments, and studied some experiences, it's okay to play those demon generals, but it's not enough to deal with the demon dragon, at least ...... I need your help, Your Majesty, the information that was originally struck at the Immortal Emperor, and now the most retained should be in your hands, Your Majesty. ”
