Chapter 1995 A Feast for All Nations!

Time flies, bang bang bang, with bursts of explosions, hundreds of thousands of fireworks rise into the sky.

That gorgeous light enveloped the capital, illuminating the imperial capital at night as bright as day.

And amidst bursts of shocking cheers, this grand banquet of all nations finally began.

Wang Chong surrendered and stood outside the palace, looking at the night sky.

A gust of breeze blew, Wang Chong's long hair was flying, his clothes were flying, but his heart was calm.

The imperial court's list has been distributed. According to the plan, the prelude to the feast of all nations will be held in three days. A grand military parade will be held on the first day. A total of more than 200,000 troops, including the Forbidden Army, will be lined up in squares. The formation starts from Qinglong Street, passes through the Imperial Palace, and ends at Zhuque Street.

The Holy Emperor will appear at the gate of the imperial city and inspect it personally.

Immediately afterwards, the next day there will be a Cuju competition between the imperial court and other countries. This competition is truly a Cuju competition for all people. Not only the imperial court and the capital team, but also the entire capital, as long as they are willing, all the people can come and participate.

The only requirement is to form a Cuju team.

According to the information Wang Chong received, one hundred and sixty Cuju teams have been organized in the capital, attracting the attention of the people in the capital. It can be said that this is an unprecedented event.

On the third day, the curfew was lifted in the entire capital, and everyone celebrated together for a whole day. Various lively lantern festivals will last from dusk to dawn, including various food and beverages, which will also last until dawn. According to the past situation , at least 700,000 to 800,000 people in the capital participated in it, which lasted until dawn.

Three days later, the real feast of all nations will begin. At that time, envoys from all nations will enter the palace and celebrate with the Holy Emperor in front of the Calyx Xianghui Tower. That will be the real feast of the entire night.

There will be many programs and gifts from various countries.

To be honest, this banquet of all nations is definitely a rare event in decades. In the past, it might have been impeached by court officials and tried their best to stop it, but with the current peak national power of the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing at all. Deep in my heart, At this time, Wang Chong actually did not resist this banquet of all nations, but...

Thinking of the Holy Emperor in the palace, a deep gloom passed between Wang Chong's brows.

"Is everything ready?"

Wang Chong suddenly spoke.

"It's been taken care of!"

There was silence behind him, and soon a voice sounded. Zhang Que stood in the shadow under the eaves and said respectfully.

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded and said nothing more, and the night passed quickly.

Time flew by, and for three consecutive days, the capital was bustling with excitement.

Cuju music, flower markets, lantern festivals, various prosperous scenes were constantly heard, but Wang Chong did not participate. A few days passed quickly, and finally it was the fourth day when the feast of all nations began.

In three days, the atmosphere of this feast for all nations was heightened. As night fell quickly, the crowds in the capital city not only did not decrease, but became more and more lively.

Contrary to what many people imagine, the main event begins when night falls.

The feast of all nations is held at night, which is what the Holy Emperor meant!

The night was dark, but in Wang Chong's foreign palace, red lanterns were hung, making it bright and lively.

In the mansion, countless maids, maids, and slaves were all dressed in costumes, and the guards were also in shining armor, reflecting the scene outside.

The Tang Dynasty was at its peak for nearly a hundred years, with all attacks and battles invincible. This time, taking advantage of the Holy Emperor's "Feast of All Nations", everyone celebrated vigorously, and Wang Chong naturally would not stop it.

At night you arrived.

The carriage wheel, a carriage with palace emblems, came from the dark night and slowly stopped at the door of Wang Chong's mansion. And just under the light of two huge lanterns at the door, the carriage door opened, and a nimble little eunuch, bowing, holding up the corner of his clothes, and a palace lantern hanging in his hand, got out with a swish, and then walked to the palace in a few steps. At the door, he lowered his head and said a few polite words.

Just a moment,

One of the palace guards' expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around, stepped into the palace, and passed the message to a well-behaved and smart little maid. The latter understood, listened attentively, and thought to the reporter, and then picked up the cup in her hand. Feng Deng quickly turned around and went inside.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the mansion. The well-behaved and smart maid walked through the long corridors and quickly entered a study inside.

"Your Majesty, a young eunuch has come to the palace outside. He said that the banquet is about to begin. Please arrange your presence and go to the palace to gather together."

Across the door, the maid bent her waist and said with a respectful expression.

"knew."

After a long time, a voice came from the room.

The maid responded, bowed, and left quickly.

In the room, candlelight flickered.

Wang Chong is wearing a purple and gold python suit, a black jade crown on his head, black gold combat boots on his feet, and a four-foot divine sword on his waist. He holds a stalwart figure. Together with his young, heroic and majestic face, he gives people a detached air. a feeling of.

And right next to him, a beautiful lady with peerless appearance, blue heart and wisdom stood beside Wang Chong, adjusting Wang Chong's collar.

"It was so dangerous, I was almost discovered!"

Xu Qiqin stared at Wang Chong in front of her with her wonderful eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"So what if I find out? You are the female companion I kissed, how dare anyone still laugh?"

Wang Chong chuckled.

Xu Qiqin raised her head and was about to retort. Suddenly, a domineering and familiar breath hit her nostrils. Her eyes met Wang Chong, and a blush spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.

"I hate it, I won't tell you anymore."

Wang Chong smiled and shook his head, looking at Xu Qiqin's shy look with her head slightly lowered, a look of doting flashed in her eyes, but she quickly came back to her senses.

"It's almost time, let's go."

"Um."

Xu Qiqin also nodded, with warmth in her eyes, and slowly raised her head.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and when Wang Chong led Xu Qiqin's snow-white catkins and walked out of the room, all the maids, maids, slaves, and guards in the palace were stunned. Even Xu Keyi and Su Shixuan, They were all equally stunned.

Wang Chong and Xu Qiqin, one is young, handsome, and extremely talented, while the other is pretty, graceful, and even more rare, talented and beautiful.

The two people stood together, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, as if they were made for each other, making everyone dazzled and admired.

Wang Chong just smiled, supported Xu Qiqin, stepped through the gate, and soon in the eyes of everyone, they boarded a gorgeous bronze python pattern inlaid with gold carriage outside the palace.

"drive!"

With a shout, the carriage drove towards the palace.

…

In the quiet moonlight, Wang Chong sat in the carriage, gently opened a curtain, and looked around. He saw that the capital was brightly lit, with countless lanterns and flower markets decorating the power center of the Tang Dynasty into a piece of light. of ocean.

And amid the gorgeous lights and fireworks, the bustling traffic, the numerous tourists, countless adults, children, men, women and children, smiling like flowers, completely immersed in the grand ceremony of this festival.

Wang Chong saw a father holding a three-year-old child high on his neck next to a lantern, pointing out the patterns on it. Next to a stall, he saw an old man with a gray beard and half of his teeth missing. , and his wife, who also had fair hair, were standing on the side of the road, eating a handful of candied haws with a smile. They also saw several handsome young men accompanying several girls who were shyly choosing gouache in a makeup store.

Everyone had a pure smile on their faces, completely immersed in the peace of the prosperous age!

Wang Chong looked at the lively scene outside and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times!

In the previous life, the Battle of Southwest, the Battle of Talos, the Rebellion of the Three Kings... all came under pressure. At that time, people were in panic and the court was in turmoil. Peaceful scenes like this were no longer possible.

Despite going round and round, many things happened again, such as the changes in the Holy Emperor, the rise of An Yaluo Mountain... Sometimes, Wang Chong would even feel that all his efforts were in vain, but when he saw When seeing these simple, kind, happy and festive people, Wang Zhong suddenly had an epiphany.

In fact, everything is changing, and the change is happening around us. It is not the changes in many world events, but the changes in the people of this world.

Aren’t those carefree and enthusiastic smiling faces exactly what I have been pursuing?

Isn't it the same people who were born and raised as servants and simple people that they defend?

No matter what, he would never let those disasters happen again in the future. No matter what the price, he vowed to protect the Tang Dynasty and these most ordinary people!

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from his ears. Wang Chong was slightly shocked. He quickly came to his senses. When he turned around, the fragrance hit him. He saw a beautiful face with beautiful eyes open, silently. looking at himself.

"Nothing, I just thought of the feast of all nations tonight!"

Wang Chong shook his head and came back to his senses:

"Today is the last day of the Feast of All Nations. I have been monitoring the movements in the capital for the past few days. An Yaluoshan has been standing still without any movement. Today is the last day. No matter what the purpose of his coming to the capital, he will definitely do it tonight. Exposed!"

"Well, although I haven't come into contact with him, judging from the various information and materials you sent me, this person is extremely sophisticated, ferocious and cunning. However, I believe that no matter what, he will never be your opponent! "

Xu Qiqin looked up at Wang Chong's resolute profile and said with determination.

Wang Chong didn't say much, just nodded. No matter what An Yaluoshan wanted to do, he would never let him succeed. No, as the chief culprit of this world and the direct contributor to the catastrophe, Wang Chong would never let him succeed. Let An Yaluoshan, the culprit, leave the capital alive!

"Your Majesty, the palace gate is just ahead!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside, it was the coachman's voice.
