Cultivation Technique of the Great Witch

Chapter 70 Lord Yu

Regardless of the country’s palace, it seems to be solemn and solemn, even if it is extremely luxurious, when you walk into it, it will give people a clear sense of distance.

This kind of distance may have different experiences for different people. Some people may feel majestic, some may feel cold, and some may even feel scared. After Zou Heng entered the palace, he felt lonely.

In a huge palace, there are actually a lot of people in it, including guards, servants, court ladies, various officials in the palace, and those concubines. The total number is at least a thousand, but Zou Heng feels that way. .

And after he stepped into the palace, he looked at the carved beams and pillars, the various buildings and palaces decorated with magnificent splendor, as well as the beauty of the rockery, strange flowers and weeds, and even the guards and palace ladies. He felt a little uncomfortable.

Zou Heng seemed to be incompatible with this place, and those people seemed to have some contempt in their own eyes.

Even with this feeling, Zou Heng actually didn’t care too much in his heart. After all, he was just coming to the palace to have a banquet and eat a meal. At most, he needed to deal with the things in the scene, and he would pass after a little patience.

Following King Ni, everyone went through several palaces after entering the palace, and finally came to the place where the banquet was held tonight. It seems that because there will be more people coming today, the banquet tonight is in a palace. The square in front is open in the open air.

Just as Zou Heng was about to walk over, they were stopped by the guards standing there again. A servant official from the palace stepped forward and said.

“I have seen His Royal Highness Nioh, please let the two accompanying wizards take off their shoulder bags for the time being and go to a banquet later. You are not allowed to bring these things. If there are any dangerous things hidden on your body, please also. Put it here, we will keep it for you, and return it after the banquet is over!”

As soon as the attendant officer finished speaking, King Ren turned his head and glanced at both Zou Heng and Zhang Xiaonian. Zhang Xiaonian simply took off his bag directly.

It wasn’t long before his shoulder bag was put on his back, and there was nothing good in it. It was nothing more than some medicines and magic tools. It didn’t matter if these things were lost, and it didn’t take much to prepare again.

Zou Heng hesitated at this time. Apart from a magical-artifact-level oil lamp, he has nothing particularly precious. As a warlock, he does not have these requirements for casting spells, which will always make people feel a little insecure. , But this was obviously a more reasonable rule, and he had no reason to refuse, so after hesitating for a while, Zou Heng could only take off his bag.

As for the things hidden on his body, Zou Heng didn’t take out any of them. He just took off the shoulder bag on his body. If he could get it through, there was no need to take out all the things on his body. After all, it’s the same as putting them back. Quite strenuous.

Zou Heng thought in his heart that he would just confuse it, but the attendant in the palace was obviously much stricter than he thought, and there was a body search after they took off the bag.

At this moment, Zou Hengke couldn’t hide, and many of his things had been turned over. Fortunately, there was nothing dangerous in these things, and the guards beside him did not move.

“Haha, I have offended this mage. The rules in the palace are a little stricter, but they are all for the safety of the lord. After all, the lord will also appear at the banquet tonight. We have to be stricter to prevent someone from opposing the country. The master is plotting bad things, and please forgive this mage!”

After the body search was completed, the attendant looked at the pile of things in front of him and smiled at Zou Heng and apologized. However, his expression and voice did not mean to apologize. Instead, he looked at Zou. Heng’s eyes clearly had some condescending taste.

Zou Heng frowned slightly, looking at the attendant, there was also a hint of anger in his heart, but he was pulled by the King Ren, shook his head slightly at him, and led him in.

After walking a few steps, King Ren said in a low voice to Zou Heng: “Please also ask Master Zou to calm down. The attendant should be aimed at this king. Because of this king’s involvement, this caused the Master to make things difficult. The king will compensate the mage!”

Zou Heng didn’t make any response when he heard King Ni’s words, but in his heart, there was even more of the desire to leave the royal capital. Nioh’s current attitude somewhat regarded himself as his subordinate, but Zou Heng There is no interest in putting himself under his command and joining the battle for power.

Zou Heng’s current interest lies in various mysterious techniques. His pursuit is to become a more powerful warlock, not to be a supreme minister in the court, even if it is to assist a wise monarch.

There were a lot of people attending the banquet tonight, most of them were important ministers above the Yu Dynasty court, and Li Sheng was among them.

The reason for holding this banquet tonight is to wash the dust out of the king, and to reward them for those who have escorted the king, except for the king and them, everyone else is counted as an accompaniment.

Judging from the current scene alone, the Lord Yu seems to attach great importance to his son, who has just returned from Qi, and intends to train him well.

Since they can barely be regarded as the protagonists of today’s banquet, Zou Heng and the others are sitting relatively forward, and they are next to Li Sheng, so after sitting down, they nodded and greeted each other. There is no such embarrassing scene that nobody takes care of.

It didn’t take long for the banquet to really begin. The uniformly dressed and graceful court ladies brought up plates of dishes and put them on the tables. Then, there was a sound of courtesy and music, and everyone stood up. , To welcome the arrival of the Lord of Yu Kingdom.

After Zou Heng came to this world, he has been living in the country of Yu. After so many years, it was the first time he saw the leader of this country, which was very different from what he had imagined.

The Lord Yu he saw was an old man with wrinkles on his face, a little gray hair, and a stiff body. He even needs to be supported to walk. There is no such thing as a king. Domineering, only showing the undoubted old attitude.

With the support of the two attendants, Lord Yu walked to the top position trembling step by step, and then after everyone opened their mouths to see him, he sat down slowly, and extended a hand to signal to everyone, so that all Everyone sits down.

After everyone sat down, he spoke in a very weak and old voice.

“Today, the banquet was held to celebrate the return of King Yu, the king of the Kingdom of Yu, and to pick him up from the dust. I would also like to thank a few meritorious officials for escorting them all the way and working hard all the way. My son has lived in Qi and Yu in peace for many years, and finally today. After all the hardships come, I will have a drink together first, congratulations to Nioh!”

His voice was weak and weak, but everyone present couldn’t ignore this voice. As his voice fell, everyone picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank together.

After a glass of wine, even if the banquet officially started, the atmosphere seemed a bit more lively than before, but the overall situation did not change much.

After the Lord of Kingdom Yu had finished speaking, he waved in the direction of King Nen, and signaled that King Nen took the little His Highness over. The waiter standing next to King Yu gently clapped his hands, and there was a group of beautiful people. Dancing girls fished out from both sides, and began to dance with music in the middle.

Zou Heng looked in the direction of Lord Yu and found that the other party was holding the little majesty with one hand, very kindly talking to King Ren, but because of the sound of the music, he couldn’t hear what the other party was saying.

Looking around the audience, I saw all the people attending the banquet. At this time, they were either enjoying singing and dancing, or talking quietly with the people sitting on the left and right, which seemed very lively.

While looking at his side, Zhang Xiaonian was learning what other people looked like at this time, trying his best to sit upright, watching the singing and dancing performance in front of him intently. As for the food in front of him, he basically didn’t move. Obviously, I don’t want to lose any face on this occasion.

On this occasion, the expected boring, Zou Heng did not behave very casually, and also seemed to watch the singing and dancing performance in front of him intently, but in fact, his own attention was returned to the Lord Yu’s side. .

Zou Heng always felt that the Lord of the Kingdom of Yu looked a little weird. Although the other person looked like a dying old man, Zou Heng felt that a person who could be the Lord of a country should not be that simple.

According to Zou Heng’s knowledge, the age of the Lord of the Kingdom of Yu is indeed not young, but this year is about 60 years old. Such an age and such an appearance are normal for ordinary people, but they are placed in a country. It seems that the Lord’s body is getting old too fast.

As the master of a country, he is not said to be dignified and well-maintained on weekdays, but at least there will be someone to help him. Yu Guozhong should not lack a warlock with more means in this area, but the other party is actually so old. Even walking needs help.

It is not unreasonable to say that the other party has caused such aging due to other reasons, or even about to die. After all, it is reasonable to think that King Ren can be rushed back from Qi, but Zou Heng still thinks that things should not be possible. So simple.

Just as Zou Heng was watching the singing and dancing performance while paying attention to the situation on the side of Kingdom Yu, suddenly, the sound of music stopped, and then a voice sounded.

“The national teacher is here!”

With the sound of this sound, the dancers standing in the middle of the crowd retreated respectfully. On the separate road, an old man with white beard and hair wearing a big blue brocade robe strode along the road. gone.

The old man can no longer see his specific age, but he walks in swift steps between walking, and his spirit is not inferior to the young man, and he has a strong breath that is hidden and unspoken.

“Guo Shi, Min Xiaoxing!”

Zou Heng looked at the incoming person, his eyes widened slightly, and his body leaned forward subconsciously, all his attention was attracted by the incoming person.
