At this time, the banquet hall in the center of the Nalan Empire Palace was already in full splendor, with colorful magic lamps inlaid or hanging in every corner of the hall. wWW. QUAbEn-XIAoShUo. Com ministers and their families dressed in various formal attires filled the place, and the noise was endless.
Long Yi and Nalan Ruyue stood upstairs, looking at the endless crowds of people below, and they couldn't help but feel a little headache. To be honest, neither of them were too cold about this kind of occasion. I still remember that when they saluted in Tenglong City, the complicated etiquette almost broke down the two of them. I wonder if the Nalan Empire will make it simpler.
At this moment, Nalan Wuji entered the banquet hall with several beloved concubines, and for a while some powerful officials and nobles came over to flatter him. Such is the custom in Canglan Continent that in informal occasions such as banquets, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is very casual.
"Princess, my horse, it's time to go down." A female palace official next to her reminded her in a low voice.
"Then get off, my beautiful princess." Long Yi turned to Nalan Ruyue and smiled, raising his right elbow to signal Nalan Ruyue to hold him.
Nalan Ruyue smiled shyly, raised her Hao wrist to hold Long Yi's arm, and Lian Bu gently carried her down the stairs.
The appearance of the two people immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience. Long Mian was smiling, confident and chic, while Nalan Ruyue had a pretty and slightly red face. With her fairy-like appearance and noble and reserved temperament, she was simply a perfect match. A perfect match, everyone was in awe of it for a while.
Long Yi brought Nalan Ruyue to Nalan Wuji, turned his eyes, and looked at the two gorgeously dressed young men beside him, looking at the patterns on the clothes. They should be Nalan Wuji's two frustrated sons, who are the half-brothers of Nalan Ruyue's sisters. According to the information Ximen Huo gave him, one of them has a warrior profession and the other a mage profession. The levels are not high, just a swordsman and an intermediate mage. The warrior profession is named Nalan Wu, and the mage profession is named Nalan Wen. The two of them are the same as Ximen Yu before, they are complete playboys.
"Father, brother." Nalan Ruyue asked lightly, with a hint of disgust in her beautiful eyes.
Nalan Wuji smiled and nodded, with a kind and respectful look on his face, but who knew that he was a cold-blooded, cunning and ruthless person? For the sake of profit, he can sacrifice everything.
"Brother-in-law, I've heard about you for a long time. Deng Deng wants to have a drink with us brothers tomorrow. We admire you very much and we have some questions to ask." The Nalanwu brothers were excited when they saw Long Yi. Ah, I thought I had found a brother who shared the same temperament and shared the same goals.
Long Yi smiled and said a few perfunctory words, but said in his heart. Pity the empire that Nalan Wuji worked so hard to manage. If the country falls into the hands of these two brothers, hehe. Then it will be fun.
It was almost time to salute, but Nalan Wuji was smiling and talking to several of his favored ministers, without any intention of announcing the salute.
"Your Majesty, the time has come, isn't it..." a minister next to Nalan Wuji reminded. "
Nalan Wuji smiled slightly and said, "We still have to wait for someone to host it. It doesn't matter if it's a little later."
"Your Majesty, isn't it the bishop of Cang Yue City who will preside over the inauguration ceremony?" the minister asked strangely.
Nalan Wuji smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course not. You will know then."
When several ministers saw that Nalan Wuji didn't say anything, they stopped asking and changed the topic to chat.
Long Yi was accompanying Nalan Ruyue to deal with the swarming crowd, when he suddenly felt two familiar eyes looking at him. He turned his head subconsciously, only to find that all he could see was a wall of people, and those two familiar eyes disappeared.
"It's strange, I don't know anyone in Cang Yue City." Long Yi muttered in his heart. The only people he knew were probably a few members of the Lightning Mercenary Group, but today's banquet only entertained officials from the Nalan Empire and There is no chance for other people to enter the powerful nobles.
At this moment, Long Yi suddenly heard a young man calling: "Yin Yin, where have you gone? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Long Yi's body stagnates, Yin Yin? A picture of a tomboy girl with a prudent and stubborn face appeared in his mind, that girl who loved Feng Ling wholeheartedly, but shouldn't she be in Mia Holy Demon Academy? Long Yi changed his mind and suddenly realized that Yinyin was a young lady from a noble family in the Nalan Empire, so it was not surprising to appear here. It's been a long time since he left the Principality of Mia, so it's normal for her to come back.
Long Yi lined up the crowd and saw a familiar tall figure not far away. Who could it be if it wasn't Yin Yin? Today, she was wearing a black evening dress, which accentuated her exquisite figure. She had a sparkling sea-blue brooch on her chest, which made her look a bit cool.
The young man who was entangled with Yinyin was Nalan Ruyue's brother Nalanwu, and Yinyin had an obviously impatient look on his face.
"Yin Yin, it's really you. I thought I was dazzled." Long Yi walked over with a smile.
"Long... Master Ximen, congratulations." Yinyin looked at Long Yi with a somewhat complicated look. This man who stole her lover, sometimes she really didn't know how to face him. But for him, Yinyin felt a kind of gratitude in her heart. If he hadn't comforted her at the beginning, I'm afraid she wouldn't have the courage to live anymore. I remember she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. Thinking about it, she was really ashamed. .
"You two know each other?" Nalanwu asked in surprise.
"Yes, there is some special relationship." Long Yi blinked ambiguously at Nalan Wu.
Nalanwu was stunned for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face, but he immediately disappeared and said to Long with a smile: "She turns out to be my brother-in-law's girl. You should have told me earlier. I'm going to look for the next target. You have to be careful." , My little sister can eat people when she is fierce." After saying that, Nalanwu got into the crowd and went hunting.
Yinyin's pretty face turned red, she rolled her eyes at Long Yi and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who has a special relationship with you?"
"Haha, isn't our relationship special enough?" Long Yi chuckled.
Yinyin was startled, and her pretty face turned from red to white. It was obvious that Long Yi's words brought back her sad past, and the relationship between her and Long Yi was indeed very special.
"Thank you." Yinyin whispered.
Long Yi sighed softly and asked softly: "Have you not given up yet?"
Yin Yin's delicate body trembled, some things are not so easy to let go of. She fell in love with a man for the first time, but found out that this man was a woman like her. This kind of blow was really too big for her.
