Zijin City, the largest city in the Lan Kingdom, is the residence of Zhao Junchen, the brave lord of the Lan Kingdom. In the quiet room in the backyard of the mansion, Lin Gen is sitting cross-legged to heal his injuries.
Zhao Junchen has a long-standing friendship with Mo Xi's forbidden sect, and he is also the Marquis of the Lan Kingdom, so he has a strong armed defense. Healing here will not only prevent people from disturbing him, but also increase security.
In addition to taking the healing elixir, Lin Gen also took out the leaves of the Blessing Tree from the "Fierce Sun Boundary Stone". I don't know if it was because the injury was too serious, or because as Wu Shezi said before, the Blessing Tree is not very effective for some injuries.
With limited help.
Zhao Junchen was a famous military commander and the head sect of an elder from the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect. Gu Luan had been to his house many times as a guest before, so he was no stranger to him.
The Moxi Forbidden Sect is the largest sect in the Han Kingdom. Therefore, although this is the Lan Kingdom, many people still have heard of the Moxi Forbidden Sect and respect it. A large sect that can rank first in the country is changing.
Luan Dalu also has the right to speak. Many people are proud that someone has a status in a large sect. The Moxi Forbidden Sect is compared to the Thousand Fantasy Sect and Bailu Academy, so Zhao Junchen naturally does not dare to neglect it.
This is not to neglect, that is to say, there must be a grand welcome dinner, one after another.
Lin Gen was better, able to evade on the grounds that he was injured and needed to recuperate. Gu Luan was not so lucky. Although he refused several times, he was forced by the other party's kindness again and again to participate in all kinds of powerful and influential events.
banquet.
"Young Master Gu, there will be a birthday banquet for the Eighth Prince Qin Zhou and his second wife tomorrow night, and you are invited by name to go. It is said that several other major sects have sent representatives here to celebrate. He doesn't know where he got the news about you.
If you insist, I will send it to you. Look, Zhao Junchen’s face turned bitter.
"Marquis Yongwu, it's really not possible. My friend is extremely injured and needs my protection. I have been very irresponsible before."
"Your friend is safe and has the guards of my residence, so you can rest assured! I promise you that this is just a social event, and I will definitely help you dodge it in the future." Zhao Junchen said: "The Eighth Prince is very fond of these two ladies.
It's love. He has always been a little dissatisfied with me. If I reject it this time, it seems to be against him. So, this time he is actually testing me. This person has a high position, even if he is as powerful as a thousand
Both Huanzong and Bailu Academy are afraid of him...
"In order to please him, some small sects prepared gifts for his second wife's birthday banquet half a year ago and came from afar. Even big sects such as the Xuanyin Sect of the Great Chao Kingdom and the Taiyang Sect of the Yuanwu Kingdom were all
Important people have been sent here. If you, the young master of the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect, are in Zijin City and are invited by him but refuse to attend the banquet, I'm afraid..."
Gu Luan looked at him with a sad face and was extremely helpless.
"Don't worry, the Eighth Prince attaches great importance to the Duoxi Forbidden Sect. The invitation he sent is for the main banquet in the inner courtyard. Only VIPs can enter there. I guarantee that you don't have to worry about being disturbed by people outside."
"I have never met the eighth prince, so how could he think of inviting me? Besides, I came in secret, why does everyone seem to know about it?"
Zhao Junchen showed a look of embarrassment and said: "It's my fault. Previously, my ancestor was regarded as an elder in the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect. He felt proud and bragging to others everywhere. If others didn't believe it, I said that if you Mo Xi Forbidden Sect
The sect masters often come to my place, and they are doubtful, so I promised that if you come, I will let them get to know each other. Just a few days ago, I uttered words after drinking, and they all knew about it, so they invited you one after another.
"
Gu Luan was full of dissatisfaction, but the matter had reached this point and there was nothing he could do.
"This is the last time."
Zhao Junchen's face was full of joy, and he nodded and said: "Absolutely. From now on, I will never let those people disturb the young master again."
But then, he said with a sad look on his face: "However, you should be more careful. This banquet also invited Marquis Yingwu and Marquis Shenwu. These two people have always been at odds with me. And they were all invited to the Great Chao Kingdom.
Important figures in the Xuanyin Sect and the Taiyang Sect of the Yuanwu Kingdom, they might make things difficult for you." However, in fact, this was the reason why Zhao Junchen clung to Gu Luan.
First of all, it was necessary to save face, and others invited them to the big sects, but if he didn't have a decent sect to sit in the battle, he would definitely be half inferior. Secondly, if the other party attacked him, facing these figures from the big sects, he would not
Be sure to deal with it. If you add Gu Luan as an assistant, it will be quite advantageous.
Since Gu Luan agreed to go, he naturally didn't take these trivial matters seriously and said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they won't cause big trouble."
When I returned to the backyard, I found that Lin Gen was fully recovering from his injuries without disturbing him.
In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the Eighth Prince Qin Zhou was sipping tea and watching the graceful dancing of the ladies. He looked about forty years old and was wise and powerful. At the same table was a noble woman in her thirties who was his favorite.
The second lady.
"Tomorrow is Madam's birthday banquet. The dancing skills of this group of ladies are superb. I specially sent someone from Sizhuyuan to invite them for the performance at tomorrow's birthday banquet. Madam, are you satisfied?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am grateful."
Qin Zhou held her white jade-like jade in his hand and said: "You and I have been husband and wife for twenty years, why are we so polite? Not only that, except for the Qianhuan Sect and Bailu Academy of Lan Kingdom, your birthday party will include several other
All the major sects in the country have also sent people to celebrate his birthday. The most unexpected among them is the young master of the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect."
Although these two ladies have heard about various major sects, they usually don't pay much attention to them, so they don't have much thoughts. After all, the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect is also a bit far away from the Lan Kingdom.
"The reason why the Moxi Forbidden Sect sent the young master here is all because of Marquis Yongwu. However, he has always had disputes with Marquis Yingwu and Marquis Shenwu, and the other two parties have invited strong men from different sects. I want to come tomorrow night,
There will be a lot of fun to watch." Qin Zhou's face showed a playful smile, full of expectation.
When the lanterns first came on, Gu Luan informed Lin Gen and got into the carriage that Zhao Junchen was taking to attend the banquet.
"It is said that Marquis Yongwu invited the young master of the Moxi Forbidden Sect. The Moxi Forbidden Sect is the largest sect in the Han Dynasty and has no contact with the Eighth Prince. How could he send the young master here? I don't know whether this news is true or not.
Isn't someone maliciously counterfeiting it?" "I think it's mostly counterfeiting. Although the bastard has a very important position in the Lan Kingdom, it is far from affecting the Han Kingdom. How can the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect pay so much attention to it?"
"The truth will be known soon. Marquis Yingwu, Marquis Yongwu, and Marquis Shenwu are the three great marquises of the Lan Kingdom. The three marquises have always looked at each other. The other two marquises invited are the major sects of the other two countries.
Yin Sect, Taiyang Sect, there is a lot of excitement this time..." On the eve of the dinner, the guests started talking about it.
"The Yongwu Marquis and the ancient young master of the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect have arrived!" Hearing Ying Tie's shout, the guests all turned around to look at the young master of the largest sect in the Han Dynasty.
"Well, he is extraordinary and worthy of being the young master of a large sect."
"You have a handsome appearance, you can tell he is a strong man at a glance, but you don't know what rank he is?" Gu Luan calmly smiled at the people who were watching, and then followed the guide into the quiet inner courtyard at the back.
Compared with the bustle of the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is much quieter, but it is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the young maids stand in a row, with their beautiful hair on their hair.
As soon as Gu Luan came in, he felt two strong hostilities.
After a brief glance, Zhao Junchen on the side reminded him: "The shorter one on the left is the Yingwu Marquis, and the one on the right with a scar on his right cheek is the Shenwu Marquis. Both of them are my enemies, so they look at you unkindly.
."
Gu Luan ignored it and sat in the middle of the table. He glanced around and was slightly startled: "The one sent by the Xuanyin Sect was actually his young master Hua Shaodu, while the one sent by the Taiyang Sect was his true disciple Jiang An. Although he
He is not the young master of the Taiyang Sect, but he is the number one master among the true disciples."
Gu Luan was a little surprised. The Eighth Prince had such a great reputation, how could he invite such important figures from the Xuan Yin Sect and the Taiyang Sect. These two people had met Gu Luan several times before, so they all nodded.
As a courtesy, the Qianhuan Sect, as the landlord of the Lan Kingdom, also appointed a true disciple named Yu Se. The one who came from Bailu Academy was a council elder.
About half an hour later, the main owner, the Eighth Prince, and his second wife attended the greetings outside and walked in.
The two of them first bowed to the guests one by one, and when they came to Gu Luan, they couldn't help but take a second look: "Thank you to the Mo Xi Forbidden Sect for traveling thousands of miles to send the young master to attend my wife's birthday banquet."
After Gu Luan saluted and said a few words modestly, he congratulated the second lady: "I wish you, Madam, eternal youth and may you have this day every year."
After the Eighth Prince Qin Zhou finished meeting his guests, he spoke a few words of thanks in a loud voice and then began to perform songs and dances.
Although there were many warriors present and felt silent, many were conquered by the graceful dancing of these ladies and clapped their hands one after another.
Gu Luan was just drinking wine and eating meat. Someone next to him wanted to get close to him to please him, but he refused.
"The singing and dancing are over, and everyone is in a state of excitement. Since today is the second lady's birthday, how about our guests also come with some performances to add to the fun?" Marquis Yingwu said excitedly.
The Eighth Prince Qin Zhou knew how to play with meat and said, "I don't know how to add to the fun?"
"There are many warriors here today, especially important figures from major sects. I suggest we have a competition, how about it?"
Marquis Shenwu said: "I agree, Marquis Yingwu's suggestion is really good."
He glanced at Gu Luan and said: "The Mo Xi Forbidden Sect is the largest sect in the Han Kingdom. The Han Kingdom has always been a country where young and strong people emerge in large numbers among the four countries. It is rare that Young Master Gu comes to our Lan Country this time. Can you please invite me?"
Young Master Gu takes the lead and lets us see Young Master Gu's martial arts." He did not wait for Gu Luan to reply and said loudly: "I wonder if any young and handsome man will take action to fight against Young Master Gu."
Gu Luan said lightly: "In my opinion, I'll forget it. I don't know the importance of my actions, and I often kill people with my first strike. Today is my lady's birthday, so it would be unlucky to cause death." Everyone was planning to watch.
Hearing him talk, he couldn't help but look disappointed.
The Eighth Prince Qin Zhou laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. For those who practice martial arts, life and death are already foreseen in life. When men fight, they will always bleed and lose flesh. Today is my wife's birthday, so just have fun and don't have to be formal."
Luan frowned slightly and looked at him.
