Your Majesty, I don't know the surname, I don't know the first name.
It has only been half a year since we met last time, so naturally his appearance won't change too much. However, the meeting place this time was in the capital, and on his own territory, there was no shortage of various ceremonial guards. Surrounded by all the masters above the middle level of the ninth level, everyone is wearing luxurious purple clothes, but I don't know if they have practiced the swordsmanship that requires their own palace like the evil swordsmanship. Looking at this configuration alone, it is indeed a top match. Even if all the guards of the thirty-six city lords present are added together, they can't hurt the king at all.
In addition to the first time, the imperial guards behind are also very imposing. Compared with the masters who surrounded the king, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were of a lower level, but not much lower, and the worst state was over Yae. Compared with the dozen or so personal guards around the king, the imperial guards were more important to support the scene. Hundreds of people controlled all the exits of the palace as soon as they appeared. Everyone looked solemn and showed no emotion.
Under such ostentation, the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.
Just imagine, even if there are hundreds of ordinary people standing there, it is enough to give people some deterrence. What's more, there are hundreds of masters, masters, masters, and the invisible pressure is instantly on the shoulders of everyone present.
This is the reason why the lords are reluctant to come to the capital. It is not safe to bring as many personal guards as possible. When they arrive at their territory, they will be treated like fish and meat, and they will not even have the strength to struggle.
Wearing a bright red cloak, the king calmly walked past Noren and me, and walked towards the throne that belonged to him at the front. Very close behind him, followed by a woman with a phoenix crown and a xiapei, about thirty to thirty-five years old, she does not look old at all, with a graceful and luxurious bearing, elegant and decent manners, she should be a queen.
Then, there were two princes walking side by side. They were dressed similarly, and their expressions were not too different. Neither of them looked at each other, but were looking at the city lords sitting on both sides. One of the princes looked calmer, just watching secretly, while the other was completely like a housewife picking vegetables in the vegetable market, looking at us with scrutiny.
In the back are several princesses, and there is also the little figure I know inside.
Little Princess Lanna.
She didn't wear casual clothes today, but a white dress that didn't match her. The reason why it doesn't match her is not that she doesn't look good in it. On the contrary, this evening dress really complements her and makes her look glamorous. But I can't see a little bit of happiness from her eyebrows and eyes at all. She followed behind her parents and brother like a doll, without expression or words. There are many people around, but she seems to be alone. It hurts to see it.
It is worth mentioning that she just walked by without looking at me.
Behind the royal family are the ministers.
Walking in front was Umi in white.
A gentleman in white clothes, one man under one man and above ten thousand people, as expected.
He gave me a friendly smile as he passed by. Followed by ten civil servants, ten military generals, a total of twenty luxurious lineup. But none of these people left a deep impression on me. Although everyone has an extraordinary bearing, compared to the innate nobleness of the royal family, or Umi's calm self-confidence, they all seem too ordinary. Ordinary people are like mediocre people.
There are three people behind the minister, one is a samurai in armor and armor, one is a general in black armor and red robe, and there is a frightening middle-aged man with a high level of cultivation and splendid clothes. According to the information that Bai Huang told me before, it is not difficult to deduce that these three are the people who talk about "one mansion and two guards". The man in black armor and red robe should be the general of Tiance Mansion, and the warriors and white-clothed masters on both sides should be the commanders of the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei. Judging from the costumes, the top personal escorts around the king are probably also members of Jinyiwei.
A group of people took their seats, and the king on the throne glanced at Noren and me, and said:
"The end of the year is approaching, and the New Year is coming. Your parents didn't teach you, so don't cause trouble at this time?"
He looked at Noren and said:
"Aren't you going back?"
"yes."
Noren bowed deeply and stepped back. Naturally, there were guards to help him straighten the table, and someone came to clean up the broken plates and vegetable soup on the ground. The king turned his eyes to me again, and said:
"In front of this king, your head is bleeding and your clothes are disheveled. Is this your etiquette? Nonsense."
I thought to myself that your heart is fucking on the moon, right? I made it clear that I was beaten by someone, and in the end you have to arrange for me to commit a crime of disgrace, right? It is not fair to play 50 big boards each, it is fake fairness. There are only two kinds of people who like to do this kind of thing, one is useless people, and the other is people who use fairness to pull sideways.
The king is obviously not a fool. When I tried to use him to get rid of my father's control, he tricked me. He's pretty smart, at least he's smart enough to secure the position under his ass. But I'm not surprised at all that he's going to sideline. When I come to the capital, the real trouble is the king. Kaia, Noren and Li Yi all have to step back a little bit.
The king continued:
"However, this king is also very kind. I won't pursue these things with you, because you are guests, and there is no reason in the world for a host to despise guests. But this king can't just sit back and watch your conflicts intensify. How about this, after today's banquet is over, This king will arrange a place for you to have a hearty fight, and the loser will admit his mistake, and everything will be over."
I was stunned for a moment, that cnm endured and endured, and finally I didn't say it in public.
It's still the familiar formula, it's still the familiar taste, it's still the cunning and cunning you who don't want Bilian, and it's still the weak, pitiful and helpless me. Everything is exactly the same as what happened in Lingyun City back then, and I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so I cupped my hands and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King."
Even though he said that, his eyes were still on Lanna who was standing behind the king.
She still didn't say a word, didn't look in my direction more than once, as if we were just strangers.
Feeling depressed, I ate the last meatball left on the plate.
Alaya was still sitting beside me, but the scene stabilized temporarily, and her hand moved back from the sword at her waist.
The king breathed a sigh of relief and ordered:
"play music."
The aliens continued to flutter in a hurry, and the melody of the music they played was magical, festive and brainwashing, comparable to the song "Good Luck" that was sung in the streets and alleys. But I don't know when my good luck will come. I saw the king cast a sarcastic look at me with a smile on his face, and said:
"The banquet, continue."
