Chapter 120 Banquet, Killing
In the capital, all kinds of banquets are constantly happening, which is the norm.
Of course, since Gancheng broke through Jiange and returned to the capital, he has been busy with his own affairs. He has never returned to the dandy life he used to be, nor has he integrated into the so-called upper-class social banquets.
So when Long Jiuxing reminded him to change into formal clothes and go to the banquet more formally, he was still a little uncomfortable.
Of course, because he was not prepared at all, the storage bag was full of trials, but there was no so-called formal clothes, so he finally rushed there in normal clothes.
If Gancheng didn't change his formal clothes, Long Jiuxing wouldn't change it. Xiao Yuehua didn't know this, so he jumped and followed Gancheng to the banquet.
The road was as bright as daytime, and the surrounding scenery was no less than the gardens when they were in the capital. Some other people entering and leaving were as Long Jiuxing said. Even if they came out for trial, they would wear some formal occasions and banquets.
Compared with them, the trio of Gancheng and the others seemed a little casual.
No invitation is needed. Those who can come here and have the qualifications to participate in the trial means everything.
A young eunuch accompanied and led by two palace maids, Gancheng and others entered the hall, and the location arranged for Gancheng was in the middle area.
In the hall, there are melodious music, and there are people dancing in both sides of the hall, with beautiful dance postures. Even though the banquet has not yet started, the style is clearly revealed.
We were already together, and we all came at the junction. Before the Gancheng and the others came, there were already many people. When they saw them coming in casually, some people who came in early kept whispering.
Most of Gancheng don’t know him, unlike Long Jiuxing. Even if he doesn’t know him, he basically knows who he is, so Gancheng doesn’t care about that much and just sit down in his own position.
There were a lot of things on the table, and there was no need to say that even after Long Jiuxing had been with Gancheng for a long time, he would pick up the things and communicate softly while eating.
"That one over there is Zhang Yi, and the other over there are sons of the Duke and the Marquis, so they are considered noble circles, but there are no leading figures in the noble circles now. The two remaining gangs are from the Duke of Qi on one side, and the military on the other side..." Long Jiuxing whispered to Mr. Gan.
Just as Long Jiuxing was introducing it, there was a burst of jokes outside the hall, and seven or eight people entered it surrounded by dozens of people.
The two leaders were both in their early twenties. Although they were not old and were still chatting and laughing, they were full of vigor while walking, carrying the spirit of a young man and a killing spirit that had been through the battlefield for a long time.
"The tall man with a wounded face is called Xiang Kai. It is said that his father used the military formation to fight against the Saints, and he was also injured in the military formation, but he was also a high-ranking rank that time..."
"The one next to him who is not tall but full of explosive power is Gu Ren. Although his father is in the capital, he has grown up fighting in the army since he was a child..."
Long Jiuxing immediately sent a secret message to Gan Cheng.
Xiang Kai and Gu Ren came in with people. When many people saw them coming in, they stood up and greeted each other.
This treatment is completely different from that of Gan Cheng and the others. Although the wound on their faces had already healed, it was difficult for them to recover completely because of the injuries that were injured by the saints. He himself didn't care about the somewhat hideous injuries and greeted everyone with a cheerful look.
They walked all the way, and when Gu Ren passed by Gancheng and others, he greeted Long Jiuxing. Then Long Jiuxing got up and greeted him for a few words. After only a few words of greetings, they walked to the near the main seat on the right.
Along the way, some of their people sat in front of Gancheng and some were behind Gancheng. As for Xiang Kai, Gu Ren was the two front positions on the right.
They just came in, and the polite people had not sat firmly yet, and another group of people came in.
The leader is not to mention Long Jiuxing, and Gancheng knows everyone. Although he has never met, because he fought with the Zhantian Gang when he was in charge of the casino, the Qi family behind him also took action, especially after that confusing thing, Gancheng also conducted an investigation.
That was when he saw the portrait of Qi Haoyu.
Qi Haoyu was in front, Wang Sanshao, Xiao Xu and more than ten people followed behind, and everyone was talking and laughing all the way into it.
Compared to Xiang Kai and Gu Ren came in, it was even more lively. Except for Gancheng, Xiang Kai and his friends had a few tables, and everyone else had already stood up to greet him.
Qi Haoyu was not afraid of delays, and smiled like spring breeze all the way, greeting everyone, and even passed by Gancheng, nodding with a smile.
It took him a few minutes to walk along the way before he could sit down at the first position of the left hand, and below him was Zhang Yi.
Judging from the ranking, it is like keeping up with the court. It depends on who the family is in the court and their power. I don’t say anything else, but in the capital, everyone has long been used to this.
"The ninth prince is here." Qi Haoyu had just finished his seat when an old eunuch's voice sounded.
Then the ninth prince walked from behind. Qi Haoyu, who had just sat down on his butt, had to get up immediately, just like everyone else.
"Interesting!" Gan Cheng had a very good mentality at this moment, and he watched all this from a perspective, enjoying himself.
It is really interesting to see the performance of the top-level children of the powerful in the capital.
"You have arrived. It seems that I am late. I will punish myself for a cup later. The elders in the family are all the pillars of the country praised by the father. I am the same age as you and I still know each other. We don't have to be so polite. Come and sit down and chat slowly." The ninth prince came in and waved his hand in a grand manner.
I have to say that since childhood, the ninth prince fully demonstrated his royal demeanor with every word and deed.
Of course, everyone would not say that they would be punished for drinking. The ninth prince was in control of the rhythm and should have appeared in the end.
You can't let him come out and sit there waiting for them first.
"Don't be restrained, this time we gathered has no other meaning, it's just chatting with our own family." After the Ninth Prince sat down, he raised his glass to drink with everyone, saying that it was a punishment for wine, but everyone would naturally drink it with them.
Then I really talked to everyone in a casual manner. First of all, of course, I communicated with Qi Haoyu, Xiang Kai, Gu Ren and others, and then looked down and said a few words to some people with good relationships.
In this round of exchange, the ninth prince was considering taking care of everything, and was obviously very comfortable with these things.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.
"Actually, this time the banquet is held, I have something to say to everyone..."
When the Ninth Prince said this, he was already eating and drinking, and everyone chatting casually stopped immediately and looked at the Ninth Prince.
"I know that the father set up a banquet for the human emperor, in addition to being extraordinary and saints, also gives us young people the chance. No matter what it is for, you all want to fight for it, but the father does not want you to suffer too much casualties for it. Therefore, whether it is a high-grade or a medium-grade competition, I also hope that you can compete with your strength and not be hurt by the harmony between each other."
"Same, if you want to succeed, you actually need to watch over and help each other. If you fight too hard, you may get the advantage. If you can help each other, you may all be able to make a fortune. After all, everyone is in the capital. Although the capital is strong, you still need to be united."
The Ninth Prince didn't say that directly, but he also understood the meaning very clearly.
The deeper meaning is that although they are all people of the Great Qin State, he hopes that the capital will achieve good results. This requires that the people who participated in the trial in the capital reduce internal struggles and unanimously go to the outside world.
After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether he could listen or not. He would do that. It was good for everyone to agree.
The Ninth Prince didn't say anything more, and continued to eat, drink, chat casually. Normally, the banquet will end soon. After all, the trial will start tomorrow, which is obviously the meaning of stopping.
"I haven't asked yet, who is the little marquis of Gancheng from the Jinyu Marquis' Mansion?" It was originally going to come to an end according to the normal procedures, but I didn't expect that the Ninth Prince suddenly looked down and asked.
Swish!
This is the first time that the Ninth Prince was silent in the audience, and everyone's eyes were looking at Gancheng in an instant.
In fact, he was surrounded by a little baby demon king and Long Jiuxing, and the seats for the guests were personally decided by the Ninth Prince. How could he not know who was who?
Originally, I was discussing whether the royal banquet was delicious with Xiao Yuehua, and I was talking about these people with Long Jiuxing. I was also surprised to talk about the ninth prince's enthusiasm for Gancheng. The ninth prince suddenly mentioned what he was doing.
"Gancheng, the King of Jinyu Mansion, I have seen the ninth prince." Gancheng stood up and bowed with his fists.
"Haha..." The ninth prince stood up with a smile, stepped down for the first time, and came directly to Gancheng.
"I have been in seclusion since I came back from the battlefield. After I came out of seclusion, I have heard countless news about you. Those who can pass through the Sword Pavilion are all geniuses that are rare in a thousand years. To be honest, although I am very confident in this area, I am ashamed of this."
"Others may not understand what Jiange represents, but I know very well. I dare to say that those who have passed Jiange say that they deserve the title of their peers. It is not a big reason why even Ouyang Junjie wants to challenge you. Come, sit down with me, I want to have a good drink and have a chat with you."
At this time, the Ninth Prince was slightly drunk, and obviously did not activate his power to dispel the alcohol. He was obviously very excited. When he was excited, he pulled Gan Cheng to sit with him and drink with him.
"This...this...how could this happen? The Ninth Prince looks down on him too much, just him..." Wang San Shao wanted to curse, but he didn't dare to do so at the Ninth Prince's banquet.
Xiao Xu also widened his eyes and couldn't believe it. Although his father repeatedly reminded him, he understood his father's intention and avoided conflicts with Gancheng, he was still shocked at this moment.
Not to mention those who have a grudge against Gancheng, those who don’t know each other and have only heard of each other’s names are shocked.
But at this moment, Qi Haoyu, who was the first on the left, was savoring the wine, thinking about something.
A hint of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes. He could understand the words at the banquet in an instant. How could he not know what would happen behind these words?
"Isn't Jiange a sect where there are saints in charge? It seems that they have been unfamiliar for many years, and there are not many people, so it's not as exaggerated as the Ninth Prince said..."
"I really don't know much about the Sword Sect and the Sword Pavilion. Is it so exaggerated..."
"So, it's natural that the four great heroes in Beijing are asking him to challenge him if he doesn't go to fight..."
"The leader of the peer generation is amazing. I really didn't expect that we would have the honor to have dinner with the leader of the peer generation..."
…………
When most people heard this, they looked disdainful, and even felt that the Ninth Prince's words were a bit harsh and exaggerated.
Who can come here is not a background and identity? The most important thing is that they are not playboys themselves, they are all the most outstanding beings. Although Gancheng's identity is pretty good, he was just a playboy, and everyone really didn't know much about the Sword Sect.
What if he joined the Sword Sect and became the leader of his peers.
If it weren't for the Ninth Prince's words, it wouldn't have been a private discussion. Some people would have been unable to help but start squirting.
Even so, most people were unhappy when they looked at Gan Cheng.
"Oh no, has the eldest young master offended the Ninth Prince before? Otherwise, how could the Ninth Prince say such things in public?" At this moment, Long Jiuxing, who stood up with Gan Cheng, suddenly sank.
