Chapter 69
The banquet of the Six Kingdoms was held in the Tianlan Imperial Capital. At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs were seen hurrying everywhere, preparing for the banquet in full swing.
During this period of time, apart from the common people in Tianlan, there were many new faces on the street, and the number of guards and patrolling guards in the imperial capital increased by more than half.
These unfamiliar faces are probably the envoys from various countries who were invited, and these envoys seemed a little restless. Of course, they knew the purpose of the Sky Blue King calling all the countries to hold a banquet at this time, and they were afraid that after swallowing the Mu Kingdom, they would The idea hit them.
It's just that the rumors that have not been confirmed some time ago, Jing Guoming seems to have been destroyed by Yunxiao's hands, but Tianlan is secretly in charge now.
If you look at it this way, then I'm afraid that this banquet will really not be so easy to mess with.
As night fell gradually, the entire Sky Blue Palace was brightly lit, and the banquet hall there was singing and dancing at this time, and envoys from various countries entered the hall on time, and they were sitting there majestically in royal robes. Above, from time to time, Xiao Anzi on the side bowed his head and listened to a few words, and Zhan Ao faintly nodded and smiled.
In the main hall of the harem, Ming Lian was also dressed in a clean, elegant and imposing silver robe, and was about to leave for the group of banquet halls.
"Young master." In front of him, Zhu Xiang in a green shirt walked slowly.
"What's the matter?" Ming Lian stopped and asked.
"There's news from outside the palace that someone left a message in Juyuanlou, see you at Juyuanlou tonight!" Zhu Xiang saluted and replied.
"Who is it?" Ming Lian turned his head, he didn't expect anyone to come back to him at this time, so he asked immediately.
"It's an old man, and..." Zhu Xiang paused for a moment, raised her eyes and said, "This old man brought a child, and that child looks very much like Miss Lan from before!"
Hearing Zhu Xiang's reply, Ming Lian frowned slightly, and his heart was full of doubts, old man?children?Blue girl?
"Is he in Juyuan Building now?" Ming Lian asked in an echo.
"Yes, I entered Juyuan Building in the evening, and I'm still waiting." Zhu Xiang nodded and replied.
At that moment, Ming Lian turned around and walked out of the palace. He really wanted to know what purpose this old man had to meet him in person, and that child, whom Zhu Xiang said was very similar to Miss Lan, so he wanted to know even more. Go check it out.
In the Banquet Hall, the banquet had already begun, and the envoys began to drink happily. Su Xihang below was smiling, walking around the tables of each envoy, showing the friendship of the landlord.
"Everyone has come from a long way, this king is very happy, this cup is my respect first!" Zhan Ao stood up, served by Xiao Anzi beside him, toasted to the envoys below.
"Your Majesty, you are welcome! Do it!" The person below immediately stood up and drank the glass of wine in his hand in return.Driven by that person, all the envoys stood up and drank the wine in their cups in return.
"Your Majesty is extremely brave and has a good strategy. The Mu Kingdom was taken with ease! You are truly the pride of heaven!" The person who toasted before did not sit down after drinking the wine, but said something like this.
When everyone heard this, they secretly screamed in their hearts that it was not good. Once the topic was raised, it would be straight to the point.For a moment, the atmosphere above the hall was a little silent and depressing.
"Hahaha! Congratulations! In fact, the reason why this gathering is held so early is that on the one hand, it is for the celebration of the whole world, and more importantly, it is for the harmony and future development of our six countries!" Zhan Ao's eyes lit up. Shan, immediately let go of a few laughs, and said immediately.
Except for the person who toasted and spoke before, the rest of the envoys all smiled awkwardly, and their expressions changed in different ways following Zhan Ao's words. The words in the words.
It seemed even more quiet above the main hall, and everyone didn't know how to answer the conversation, they all lowered their heads and pursed their lips in silence.Zhan Ao narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced down with a dangerous and awe-inspiring look, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thinking of something without speaking.
And there, Ming Lian rushed to the third floor when he arrived at the Juyuan Building. At this time, the Juyuan Building was full of people, and many diners were having dinner.Noisy, laughing and cursing, can't stop hearing.
In the guest room on the third floor, as soon as the door was opened, there was a smell of food mixed with the smell of wine. There was a big and a small meal in front of the dining table. Serve on the side for a big pour.
"Your Excellency?" Ming Lian came in and saw the scene in front of him. When he saw the old man, Ming Lian's pupils constricted for a moment, because the old man was not someone else, but the pendulum that gave him Liulijie back then. Old man.
The child on the other side was about 10 years old. Ming Lian who was standing at the door didn't see his whole picture, but that side face really resembled the "Lady Blue" that Zhu Xiang said.
"You are quite a character. Could it be that the girl Lan'er has been talking about you all the time, you are indeed worthy of entrustment!" The old man put down the gourd in his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at Ming Lian standing in front of him in a daze and said.
"Who is your Excellency, and what is the relationship between Mo Lan and you?" Ming Lian frowned, and immediately confirmed that the old man in front of him had a close relationship with his old friend Mo Lan, and asked in a deep voice.
"It seems that someone is still thinking about this girl." The old man raised his head and took another sip, his eyes were a little flushed, "Didn't Lan'er tell you about her master?"
"You are 'Old Man Yunji'?" Minglian asked with uncertain eyes.
"Haha, I didn't expect anyone to know the old man's name!" The old man put down the gourd in his hand, and raised his hand to touch the head of the child beside him. There was a faint light in his eyes hidden behind the scattered hair. "The old man came today, there is no other meaning, just to hand over this child to you!"
Ming Lian looked at the child who had been very quiet all the time, "He is Su Xihang's child!" This is not a question, but a definite statement.
The old man looked up at Ming Lian, his eyes were full of admiration, "That's right, this baby is Su Xihang's seed!"
"Since it belongs to him, why did you give it to me?" Ming Lian asked.
"Old man, I have no face to see him again!" After speaking, the old man said as if he was in pain.
Ming Lian knew that if the person in front of him was the 'Old Man Tianji', he would be Su Xihang and Mo Lan's matchmaker whom he called Mo Lan, and he could be regarded as half of his mentor.
The current situation was caused by the turmoil at that time. The Mo Lan that Ming Lian said was actually Tian Lan's oldest princess. At that time, Zhan Ao's father was still the eldest prince. There is a daughter, but in the chaos of going south, the eldest princess who was still in her infancy was lost.
It wasn't until more than 20 years later that a woman named Mo Lan appeared in the Tianlan Imperial Capital and became the instructor of the imperial army to protect the safety of the princesses in the east and west palaces. All this was created by Su Xihang, who was quite famous at that time.
At that time, he met Mo Lan in the vast crowd, and he fell in love with her at the first sight. Knowing her life experience is also knowing the life experience she wants to prove, so Su Xihang has been helping her all the time.
Until the princess of the East Palace, Zhan Ao's biological mother, reported that the poison in her body broke out, Mo Lan was already in the palace like a family at that time, she resolutely sneaked into Yunxiao and stole Yunxiao's treasure - Liulijie.It's just a legend, Liuli detoxifies, detoxifies the world's strange poisons!
Everything after that was unknown, Mo Lan only said that if she didn't come back, she would never come back again, Tian Lan hoped that Su Xihang could protect her instead!
Unexpectedly, this really became Mo Lan's last words!
"When Lan'er came out of Yunxiao, she had been planted with the poison in the Treasure Pavilion. She returned to the old man with her last breath. Liuli detoxified the world's strange poison, but the medicine's properties are released only once in a hundred years. Two dead bodies, who is the old man trying to save!" The old man shook his head in great pain.
Ming Lian's complexion was also not good, he seemed to know what the old man meant by "one dead body and two dead", he turned to look at the quiet and somewhat weird child.
"Lan'er knelt down and begged me. She said to protect the child, she must protect the child. Even if she loses the child and saves her, she will have no face to see Su Xihang, and she will not be able to live on!" In the memory, "So, the old man saved the child with that glass solution!"
"At that time, Xiaoge was only 2 months old! 2 months old!"
Hearing the old man's shout, Ming Lian looked at the child in disbelief. If he was only two months old at that time, how did Mo Lan, who was very poisonous, lasted for 7 or 8 months and gave birth? this child?
"Did you know? The old man used this method to raise Mo Lan, who was already in a coma, to continue Xiaoge's life. You never imagined what Mo Lan would look like when Xiaoge was born? "The old man picked up his fist and slammed it heavily on his chest, with a look of remorse.
"The old man wants to let Lan'er go like this! You can't torture her anymore! But every time the old man stops, Lan'er will come to dream and say that she must let her child live, live!"
Until he said this, Ming Lian's heart was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he vaguely knew the method of raising children!This method hurts people deeply, it needs the four most poisonous things in the world, to nourish the body with poison without harming the children in the body, it can be seen that the old man in front of him has the ability to reach the sky.
No wonder the child in front of him seemed too quiet, as if he had no soul, presumably because he lost the natural nourishment of the mother's body when he was conceived, and was raised by poison, the cold and poisonous air in his body might be fused with flesh and blood.
"Do you want me to bring the child into the palace and give it to Su Xihang?" Ming Lian asked after a long time.
"Lan'er said, if Su Xihang hasn't married in ten years, then hand over Xiaoge to him. After all, the Su family can't lose their incense!" the old man said in a hoarse voice, calming his mind.
"Okay, I'm here to thank senior for taking care of Xiaoge for the past ten years on Su Xihang's behalf!" Ming Lian responded and saluted the old man.
"Xiaoge, don't suffer with grandpa anymore. Could this uncle take you to find daddy?" The old man raised his hand to touch the child's head and said lovingly.
After taking a deep look at the child in front of him, he got up and walked towards the door drunkenly. The child stared at the old man leaving in a daze, and knelt down to face the slightly hunched back with a 'puff' Knocked a few times.
