Thousands of soldiers were busy in the square, setting up more than 3,000 round tables, and the chairs around each table were arranged neatly. Www!QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO!cOM
Just like a military formation, these tables are arranged very neatly. Each table can seat about 20 people. In other words, tonight's banquet can seat at least 60,000 people.
"Haha, Dragon God's Festival is a big festival for our Dragon Clan monks, and also an important festival for our East China Sea Dragon Palace, that's why it has such a scale." Seeing Hao Ren's surprised look, Prime Minister Xia came over and said.
When Hao Ren was about to say something, Prime Minister Xia suddenly changed his tone, "However, on the wedding day of Mr. Hao and Miss Azi, the scale of the banquet will probably be ten times larger."
ten times
Banquet for thirty thousand tables
"Prime Minister Xia, what are you talking about?"
At this moment, Zhao Yanzi's charming voice rang out.
Hao Ren turned around and saw Zhao Yanzi running over in red palace clothes.
"Haha, why is the princess here?" Seeing Zhao Yanzi's sudden appearance, Prime Minister Xia's face turned red and he changed the subject and asked.
"Let's see how the preparations are going," Zhao Yanzi looked around, "Where is my third uncle?"
Her red clothes were made of layers of so-called "Yanluosha" material. There were two belts on both sides of her waist, which fluttered gently as Zhao Yanzi moved.
And her jade-like hair was pulled into a bun with a butterfly hairpin inserted and dotted with a few pearls, making it look very moist and beautiful.
Hao Ren looked at her and almost didn't recognize her. This was Zhao Yanzi.
"The Third Master is moving tables in Guangling Hall and has just finished moving them," Prime Minister Xia said.
Zhao Yanzi wrinkled his nose, looked around, and finally saw Zhao Kuo at the entrance of Guangling Hall. She glanced at Hao Ren and muttered, "I don't know how to help."
Then, she ran towards Zhao Kuo quickly.
Hao Ren said "uh" and thought, I helped pick up 3,000 tables, but you didn't even see it.
Prime Minister Xia looked at Hao Ren helplessly, only blaming himself for not finishing his words.
Zhao Yanzi ran towards Zhao Kuo. Her small figure was like a red bird. She probably thought of Zhao Kuo's sadness, so she went over to talk to him.
Soon, this large square, usually used for soldiers to practice formations, became very lively.
One by one, the purple-robed elders and their families came out of the palaces and came to this large square one by one.
The elders in green robes and elders in blue robes also came to the square with their relatives.
The difference is that the purple-robed elders and their families sit around the easternmost table, while the green-robed elders and blue-robed elders sit at tables farther away from the easternmost main table.
Monks who have not been promoted to elders all wear dark red robes, but if they are female monks, they wear light white robes.
From the division of clothes, it is easy to know the respective positions of these monks. In fact, in addition to different clothes, their treatment is also different.
Each purple-robed elder can have a small palace to himself, where he can live with his family in a separate household. The elders in green robe and elders in blue robe live together in a large palace, which is a bit like a courtyard.
In this bustling environment, Elder Xingyue also appeared with a dozen of her female disciples.
Her purple robe stood out against the white robe.
Elder Xingyue is the most special one among all the elders, not only because she is the only female elder among all the purple-robed elders, but also because she occupies a large palace and commands all the low-level people in the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Female cultivator.
The cultivation and enlightenment of all the female cultivators in the Dragon Palace are personally guided by Elder Xingyue. Her palace is like a large dormitory. Those female cultivators who practice everywhere during the day must return to her palace at night.
Just like this, the elders of the East China Sea Dragon Palace must give Elder Xingyue some face. There are also many female juniors among the family members of these elders, and Elder Xingyue is responsible for their cultivation.
"Elder Xingyue... Elder Xingyue..."
When many elders saw Elder Xingyue appearing, they all saluted her.
Elder Xingyue smiled slightly and led her dozen female disciples to the table closest to the main table. And her slight smile was already the biggest gift in return.
The elders and their families gradually sat down, and then, the Dragon Palace generals who had completed their patrol tasks in various places entered the square intermittently.
Their positions are on the periphery of the elders' table. However, there are not many elders in the entire East China Sea Dragon Palace. The seats of these generals are relatively close to the main table.
"Mr. Hao, you should go and get ready." Prime Minister Xia looked at Hao Ren and reminded him.
Hao Ren looked down at his clothes. They were taken away from the body of a young monk by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili in the Dragon Temple. They were originally made of gray material, but after some fighting and soaking in sea water, they had become wrinkled. Broken and indeed a bit shabby.
"Well" Hao Ren picked up the bag beside him and followed Prime Minister Xia towards the small palace next to him.
This is the palace where Prime Minister Xia usually lives, and it is also the material management center of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. From a small room, Prime Minister Xia carefully selected a bright red robe and asked Hao Ren to change into it.
The wide robes with big sleeves, the robes with wide belts, and the soft and smooth clothing style, coupled with the bright red color, look very elegant from the clothing point of view.
As expected, Hao Ren looked very energetic when he wore this dress.
Prime Minister Xia himself also changed into a set of elegant "crane cloaks" that were equivalent to long coats, and then led Hao Ren to the square.
Zhao Guang looks very strict, but in fact the rules are not deep. Except for the soldiers and elders who must dress according to the rules, everyone else in the Dragon Palace can wear whatever they want.
But for an important festival like this, everyone in the Dragon Palace still has to dress according to the specifications.
By the time Hao Ren and Prime Minister Xia re-entered the square, more than 3,000 tables in the square were already full.
Except for the more than a hundred tables where elders and Dragon Palace generals were seated, the rest of the tables were occupied by soldiers from the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Each of these soldiers was neatly dressed in battle armor, and they did not disarm themselves at all because of the banquet. Their helmets were placed on the table at hand, and their weapons were leaning upright beside their chairs.
Even if there are tens of thousands of people sitting, it looks like they are in a neat festival and the atmosphere is happy, but they can wear helmets and pick up weapons to fight anytime and anywhere.
Such strict discipline made Hao Ren immediately stand in awe.
Zhao Kuo has a black face and black beard, he is strong and brave, and his military discipline is also so strong. Therefore, General Zhao Kuo is worthy of being the soul of the army.
"Aren, this way." Zhao Hongyu, who was sitting at the main table, waved to Hao Ren.
When Hao Ren saw Zhao Hongyu, he hurriedly stepped over and walked over.
Today, Zhao Guang is rarely seen wearing a golden dragon robe. The pattern embroidered with gold thread is not complicated, but the generous design and bright color have a majestic look.
Zhao Hongyu, who is sitting next to Zhao Guang, is also wearing a gold dress with wide sleeves. She wears her hair in a dignified bun with a hosta inserted sideways. The green silk on both sides of her cheeks hangs down her shoulders. She looks very gentle and indifferent.
Zhao Yanzi was sitting next to her mother. She was still young and not at her most beautiful, but she stole the show because she was wearing a red palace dress.
Their whole family sat at the center of the main table, facing thousands of round tables, and those who could sit with them at the main table were the distinguished guests of the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, wearing light blue palace clothes, were sitting among them. Their outfits don’t have to be stunning, just with their fair complexion and beautiful looks, they won’t go unnoticed.
What really caught Hao Ren's attention was Xie Yujia, who was also sitting at the table.
Xie Yujia, who had never worn palace clothes before, was wearing a light purple dress today, with a light pink ribbon tied around her waist, which simply showed off her soft figure.
In terms of jewelry, Zhao Hongyu matched her with a hollow jade ring to fix her smooth hair, and then placed two jade hostas on the left and right, creating a sense of classical beauty. In addition, Zhao Hongyu also gave her a round white jade bracelet, which made her look more delicate and elegant.
Hao Ren really never thought that Xie Yujia would be so beautiful in palace clothes.
Seeing Hao Ren walking over and looking at her, Xie Yujia smiled shyly and lowered her head.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Zhao Yanzi grinned and shouted dissatisfied.
There was an empty seat next to her, obviously reserved for Hao Ren.
Hao Ren shook his head and smiled, then went to sit next to Zhao Yanzi. Due to Zhao Hongyu's deliberate arrangement, Xie Yujia sat on the other side of Hao Ren.
In fact, Zhao Yanzi was also a little angry. Zhao Hongyu asked Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to wear more ordinary clothes, just because they didn't want these two beauties to steal Zhao Yanzi's limelight, but Zhao Hongyu... why did she dress Xie Yujia so well? Beautiful
Zhao Hongyu spoke softly to Xie Yujia, and seemed to treat her better than her own daughter. Now she was not only jealous of Hao Ren, but also of her mother.
Around the main table, besides the girls, there were Zhen Chongming, Xiao Bai and Zhao Kuo.
Zhen Chongming still wears his gray plaid shirt, maintaining his modern style. With his character, he can wear whatever he wants, who can advise him
And Xiaobai, standing on the chair in the form of a puppy, also has a special seat for him. It's just that the seat of this chair is specially padded with soft cloth to make it easier for Xiaobai to lie on the table and eat.
It was Hao Ren's spiritual beast and Zhen Chongming's best friend. Considering its mighty performance in the Dragon Temple and its majesty in the East China Sea, Zhao Guang specially rewarded it with a seat.
Zhao Kuo was wearing a dark black robe, strong and mighty. He had a bad look on his face and was taciturn.
Some elders who were relatively well-informed were surprised to learn that Zhao Kuo had lost to Hao Ren in the martial arts test at the Dragon Temple. They thought this was the reason why Zhao Kuo was unhappy.
Hao Ren looked at Zhao Kuo and knew why Zhao Kuo chose black robes.
Zhao Guang and the others actually sat close to each other on the 20-meter-wide large round table, only sitting on a small portion of the easternmost part, facing tens of thousands of Dragon Palace soldiers.
In contrast, Zhao Guang and others sitting at the main table, especially Hao Ren, were watched by tens of thousands of soldiers.
"Is this man in red robe the new general?"
"She doesn't look strong at all..."
The soldiers who were sitting a little further away and had never seen Hao Ren couldn't help but whisper.
