A grand banquet is being held in the gilded palace. One is to welcome the senior generals who have returned from the expedition, and the other is to celebrate the New Year in the near future. However, Qi Ying, who has made the most outstanding contributions, did not attend the celebration banquet at all. After waiting for tea in the side hall until the banquet dispersed, they met Tuoba Kuangfeng under the leadership of Ye Que.
"General Qi did a good job this time, but he didn't control the time well. There are only ten days left before the new king is established..."
Tuoba Guangfeng screened away all the others, and his tone of voice was not very kind. Through inquiries from informants, I heard that Qi Ying often lost his men in the middle of the battle, which caused the victory of the Gilded Kingdom to be slowed down. , otherwise he would have returned in triumph twenty days ago.
Qi Ying said calmly: "The final general has limited abilities. He consumes most of his energy in the middle of the battle. He can only hide and recover."
Tuoba Kuangfeng didn't pay much attention to Qi Ying's explanation. He was still more concerned about the future development: "General Qi is currently at the ninth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. You can put aside the cultivation matters for the time being. The new emperor will ascend the throne soon. The situation, Ye Que has already told General Qi, I wonder how determined General Qi is?"
Both of them are smart people, and they don't speak insincere and roundabout ways.
Of course Qi Ying knew what Tuoba Kuangfeng wanted him to do, kill someone.
In the political struggle of the kingdom, whoever participates in the Tuoba Kuangfeng faction will suffer huge losses. Only Qi Ying is a lonely person, and he is a traitorous general with a bad reputation. He also has a history of capturing Tuoba Hong alive, so he is naturally the best candidate.
Qi Ying sighed, cupped his hands and said: "I am very determined. Qi Ying is desperate, but fortunately the regent takes her in, so she will go to great lengths to repay the regent for his kindness."
Tuoba Kuangfeng nodded with satisfaction: "As long as General Qi is determined, I will discuss the specific plan for a few more days. Your cultivation level has been stable, and there is no improvement in your cultivation in a short period of time. Just relax first, and you will be rewarded tomorrow. It will be sent to the champion prince's mansion. The gilded capital will be very lively in recent days. It would be a pity for General Qi to miss it. Ye Que, you haven't experienced the excitement of the capital, right? I'll send someone to take you and General Qi, let’s take a look around the good places in the capital together.”
"Thank you, Prince Regent, for your kindness."
Qi Ying sighed.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in the Gilded Capital for very long...
…
Compared with the Yunxiao Capital, the Gilded Capital is smaller and the buildings are not as tall, but people seem to be more enthusiastic about the festival.
It was already late at night when Qi Ying walked out of the palace, and the streets were still bustling and lively. Two officials arranged by Tuoba Fengfeng took Ye Que and him around, introducing them to the famous places in the Gilded Capital and the special folk customs. Folklore.
Ye Que's father, like Tuoba Kuangfeng, was a traitor who was sent to the Yunxiao Kingdom when he was young. However, Ye Que's father never rebelled until his death, and Ye Que also stayed in Yunxiao as the genius adopted son of the Ye family. The kingdom has passed for more than twenty years, and I know very little about the homeland of the Gilded Kingdom. I was very happy to learn everything about the Gilded Kingdom along the way.
Qi Ying lost all interest. The prosperity around him would only make him more lonely. He was thinking about what plan Tuoba Kuangfeng would make, who he would ask him to kill, how he would escape unscathed after killing him, etc.
Ye Que caught a glimpse of Qi Ying's unhappy face, stopped, turned around and said, "Brothers, General Qi has no interest in the culture and customs of the kingdom. What's so happy about this gilded kingdom? Take me and General Qi with you Go and have some fun."
The two officials looked at each other and smiled, and of course they understood what Ye Que was referring to, and immediately said: "Of course, we will definitely not let the generals down. We know the best flower houses in the capital very well! "
"Well, I don't need..."
Of course, Qi Ying has no interest in things like visiting flower houses. She is already upset, and she doesn't want to find this kind of happiness. But Ye Quesheng couldn't hold him back, so he had to follow him.
In a prosperous metropolis like the Gilded Capital, the flower buildings are definitely not comparable to those at Yumenguan. After walking for a while, Qi Ying arrived in front of a tall building with more than 20 floors. The lights were bright inside, and groups of people stood at the door. Flowers are blooming, beautiful women are still wearing thin clothes in the cold weather, and those who come and go are all noble people in rich and beautiful clothes.
Both officials were experienced and high-ranking officials, so they walked in easily with Ye Que and Qi Ying.
The decoration inside was equally luxurious, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. Ye Que turned around and said: "General Qi Ying has unparalleled literary talent and can write masterpieces like "When Will the Bright Moon Come?" Now that the New Year is coming, General Qi Ying might as well write a poem. , so that the royal capital can be more lively and lively?"
"Oh, let's talk about it later."
Qi Ying shrugged and smiled.
Snow is flying outside the building, but the spring scenery is sultry inside. The Gilded Capital is located in the north. People are generally tall and tall, and the women are all tall and hot. Many of them are like Mrs. Lu from Tianhe County. Wavy curly hair and different-colored eyes make people salivate at the sight.
"Enter these two brothers well, they are both popular people in front of the Prince Regent!"
The two officials were very sensible. As soon as they arrived here, they found the quite beautiful Madam and asked her to bring a girl to Ye Que and Qi Ying. Then they each led the familiar girl back.
The old madam had seen countless people, so she could naturally tell that Qi Ying was unhappy, so she immediately moved closer and rubbed Qi Ying's arm with her plump breasts: "Hey, this young master is so cool. He looks very unhappy, why not Let’s go upstairs to drink some wine and listen to some music, come on!”
She pulled Qi Ying and walked upstairs. Qi Ying wanted to free himself, but found that even the madam was a spiritual martial artist with considerable strength. Ye Que also pushed her up to the second floor intentionally.
"There are many girls in our building who are good at singing and dancing. I don't know what type you two like. Xiaojiabiyu or a lady, petite and cute or tall and sultry?"
"Come on one of each." Ye Que sat down and knocked on the table and said, "You must choose the one who sings the best—do you know who is next to me?"
"who?"
The madam asked curiously.
"Have you ever heard of "When Will the Bright Moon Come?" It was written by him."
Ye Que introduced it proudly, as if it was he who wrote "When Will the Bright Moon Come" instead of Qi Ying
The old bustard said in surprise: "So you are the great talent Qi Ying, the Qi Ying who surrendered from Yunxiao Kingdom a while ago?"
Qi Ying wanted to smile awkwardly when she heard the first half of the sentence, but her face suddenly turned cold when she heard the second half - not because the madam suddenly lost her words in surprise, but because she felt several awe-inspiring murderous auras from around her!
